I saw the word patriarchy and turned off for a few minutes. Did I miss anything?
Not really.
First, I wrote a post about how Anatoly Karlin, with whose blog "Da Russophile" I agreed and whom I considered to be a admirable human being, has lost about 85% of the respect I held for him after I discovered his spectacularly
sexist, rude and barkingly insane string of posts about "gender relations", for which he appears to not be regretful to any significant extent, and also his penchant for
the pseudoscientific quasi-racial theory of human IQ corresponding to criminality, which he gleefully accepts as true without his usual scepticism pointing him the many holes in it. I also said that the rest of his posts on gender are, while in no way exceptional, at least readable, rational and not misogynistic, if gender-role conservative.
Then, smeeprocket joined in and started condemning rapists, I tried to retort that the "readable" posts I've mentioned also condemned rape, while Lord Slowpoke accused smeeprocket of using logical fallacies, Descan and Dwarfy had one of their usual squabbles, scrdest further condemned mr. Karlin's position, Dutchling provided a link to some of Reddit's madness, Graknorke was the only one to get my joke about overly radical feminism, GilgameshDespair called everyone to stop before the Toad came and Eric Blank pointed out that Descan's and Dwarfy's argument wasn't even them talking to each other, but rather just unloading their viewpoints onto the web.
