A quick little comic

How every single discussion about sexism and woman-type stuff on the internet (and real life) has ever happened, and will ever happen, always, forever, until the Earth falls into the Sun. (or until the patriarchy is dismantled.)

You probably know whether you'll like it before you even click on the link. Ordinarily a quick little comic like this isn't worth posting, but the issues it brings up come up often enough here to warrant a full topic. It's pretty funny; the accuracy of it I'll leave up to the reader (and is a point I will avoid weighing in on myself).

Have fun!

Truthfully, it reminds me of how the majority of discussions on GAFF end whenever the issue of sexism comes up. Though now we know what Mikey's real problem is; he has an impervious to logic force field around him. That explains a lot, really.

It doesn't so much remind me of how how the majority of discussions end when the issue of sexism comes up so much as it reminds me of the majority of discussions.

Well, yeah, that to, but I was trying to not be too obvious.

Fair 'nuff.

What's interesting to me is that the comic is actually specifically about discussions revolving around the issue of sexism - discussions you've been involved in on the "male group hug" side (panel thirteen) - and your response is to excise that part completely and go "LOL THAT'S EVERY DISCUSSION ON HERE".

Interesting.

I'm rather tickled by some of the comments beneath the comic which demonstrate the point quite neatly.

lol, Alhazred's got nothin'.

Chewbacca Defense, much?

Not particularly. I was pointing out that you had nothing of substance to say about Cyberwulf's post. If you had a rebuttal, go ahead and post it instead of using a dismissive smilie.

Assuming I have nothing to say because I choose to say nothing is, in fact, an application of the Chewbacca Defense.

Could I write a long essay about why Cyberdildo is completely retarded? Yes, just like everyone here has, multiple times. Would it accomplish anything other than yet another round of wank about the patriarchy while she acts offended that her little clique are the only ones worshiping her womynhood? No, it wouldn't. Responding to her with dismissive smilies isn't only more fun, it's more practical.

Hermit, perhaps you ought to forward this to the boys at the Love Shy Forum. I'm sure it would provide them with endless hours of baawing about how they're entitled to sex.

Are we STILL laughing at them? I thought that thread finally died a month or two ago?

It did. But I bet they'd be back in full-force if someone from GAFF sent this to them.

Admit it, most of them were fun in their total and complete cluelessness.

Quote party!

If you like. I don't see it.

That's a terrible insult. It doesn't rhyme, has the wrong number of syllables, and the only letter it has in common with the original is barely pronounced. You sound like a four year old who's just discovered dirty words. And to answer the substance of the quote, Cyberwulf =/= retarded. Not that it should need to be said.

...Everyone?

It's not going to go away by itself, is it?

Quote :

Cyberwulf has been talking about this stuff for years without any need for the support of other people. If she were in it only for that she'd have stopped posting before GAFF's first big shutdown.

It would be more practical for you to ignore her entirely rather than posting to say how you're saying nothing.

more fun

Mikey's more fun than you are.

Amen.

I see someone's upgrading their supersized white guilt with a side-order of male guilt.

Never change, Hermit. It's nice to know that there's a little poetic justice in the world.

Pointing out that guys are sometimes fucking douchebags to women = MAKING ME FEEL GUILTY WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

Honestly, if a fucking comic makes you feel MALE GUILT, then it's probably because it hits a little close to home, and doesn't jibe with your image of yourself as a Gentleman Male Feminist.

Lots of hypocritical dismissive bullshit about my own little world where I am superior.

Try again.

I would literally prefer to deal with a lifetime of intellectual discussion with a thousand Psy-4's than a night of the same with the one and only Alhazred.

Literally.

I don't care how much you stalk me, I'm not taking you back.
