Strange bedfellows, indeed.
No, fellow travellers. Anti-semitism is a part and parcel of the far left and particularly the Marxists and Communists.
It's just that Farrakhan says what they think but don't have the stones to say.
Compare and contrast:
Consider that Richard Spencer, covered extensively as an anti-Semite affiliated with Republicans, drew less than 50 people to a speech Monday...yet Louis Farrakhan, whom reporters (including myself) almost forgot about, rallied in a 10,000-person arena last month.
It’s not uncommon for the wealthy to hedge their bets and throw money at both parties, but the Times does a disservice by not including this fact. Laziness, rush of the deadline, or purposeful avoidance: you be the judge. But it’s clear in whatever excuse is applied that what you leave out is often as important as what you say.
Highly-trained professional police officers, one of only two types of citizens San Francisco wants to see armed (the other being wealthy powerful politicians), fire 65 rounds at a murder suspect - and miss every shot.
Inspiring!

Raciissssssssssst!
Somehow, they got onto the global warming debate! Not sure how.
Because at the heart of the anthropogenic global warming alarmist movement is an authoritarian impulse. Very Soviet-like, in fact. The Party Members are permitted, maybe even encouraged, to jet set around the world in private jets, while the proletariat is to make sacrifices and keep their carbon footprint to a minimum.
What's that old line? scratch a green, find a commie. Which is also why I tend to tell that crowd that as long as Al Gore is going thru carbon like it's going out of style, not one damn word about my carbon footprint.

"encouraged, to jet set around the world in private jets"
Yeah, but that's not the scientists who uncovered the problem but rather the vampire-bat class of greedsters who glom on to anything that catches the public's short attention span.
Frankly, if Hollywood wanted to do something for the environment, they could start by cleaning up the actual city of Hollywood. What a sad dump it's become.

Highly-trained professional police officers ... fire 65 rounds at a murder suspect - and miss every shot.
What is left out, and what is likely impossible to find out, is when is the last time they went to the range? I'm going to go out on a limb and say that any number of so called "gun nuts" go to range more often, and are more proficient with their firearms.
This is the location. Based on the number of shots, they simply shot up the RV the perp was in at the time of their encounter.
Yeah, but that's not the scientists who uncovered the problem
Except they have stacks and stacks of server farms on which they conduct their computer modelling. And they expect ever larger research budgets to pay for more and more server farms.

Plus ça change. Nothing new under the sun.
At the heart of every quasi-religious movement telling people how to live is an authoritarian impulse; and a "do as I say, not as I do" authoritarian.
Mullah Muhamed Omar told his people to abstain from alcohol and pornography. Yet both were found in his palaces when they were liberated by US and Northern Alliance forces.
And how many times did Jerry Falwell have to apologize for being caught with hookers and blow while fronting the Moral Majority?
Soviet Communist Party leaders relaxed at their Black Sea dachas with wine and caviar while Soviet workers stood in line for bread.
Al Gore tells people to cut their carbon footprint while taking private jets all over the world. Barbara Streisand tells people to get a clothesline and stop using their dryers, while nary an item of clothing dries on the line in her massive yard. Rosie O'Donnell says guns are okay for her children's bodyguard, but not allowed for yours (especially if you are your children's bodyguard).
Some animals are more equal than others. You must work harder.
If your entire conception of the human enterprise is as a sing;e asshole personality "winning" in engagement with others pursuing their own interests, you have no business as a public servant.
Your understanding of the planet is horribly foreshortened. "Winning!"
I'll never forget the vehemence —the idiotic, illiterate vehemence— of Raddy's enthusiasm for Trump two years ago. Out of the blue! (It was like Democratic hatred for Palin in 2008... It was completely incoherent, but indisputably heartfelt.) The fantasy of being a singular arrogant personality (celebrity, even) to bend others to his will obviously satisfied an enormous need in his heart, something from an eighth grade daydream.
You guys are licensed to drive, (presumably) registered to vote and apparently bringing home weekly paychecks. But for all you know of the world, your greatest need from the people whom you employ with your tax dollars is that they greedily pursue their self-dealing corruptions at your expense in costs of execution as well as consequences... So that you can identify with a "winner."
Makes the doe-eyed adoration of the Obama "Hope" poster look psychologically nuanced.

This is LONG - its repose to the list mentioned in the tweet sixclaws linkd
1. Before explaining something to a woman, ask yourself if she might already understand. She may know more about it than you do.
If Im explaining something to anyone be it a woman or not it is becuase A) they dont know what they are talking about, of B) they havent bothered to say they already know what I am talking about - and that on them not me. You claim to be a mans equal ACT like it
2. Related: Never, ever try to explain feminism to a woman.
Why not? Most of them dont know what they are talking about
3. Trans women are women. Repeat that until you perish.
Not according to feminists - see not even three in and I am already having to explain things to you
4. RESPECT PEOPLE’S PRONOUNS. It’s not hard.
No. Becuase its not about respect, its about control and I have no respect for the thought police
5. Remember that fat women exist and aren’t all trying to get thin. Treat them with respect.
Why not just respect everyone, why carve out special groups? Why are you not so subtlety fat shamming?
6. In fact, just never comment on a woman's body.
Again, no - where the fuck do you have the unmitigated gall to tell men they are not allowed to express joy and amazement in their lovers? WFT is wrong with you?
7. Be kind to women in customer service positions. Tip them extra. (But not in a creepy way.)
Why? What makes female servers more deserving than male servers other than your sexism?
8. Trust women. When they teach you something, don't feel the need to go and check for yourself. And especially do not Google it in front of them.
Again what makes women so magical? Here is a puzzle what if a woman tells me 2+2=5? what if two women disagree, who do I believe then?
9. Don’t maintain a double standard for… anything, ever.
Why not when you do?
10. CLOSE YOUR LEGS ON PUBLIC TRANSIT, OH MY GOD.
Stop body shamming men for an unconscious biological reaction which ensures women can have children
11. Trying to describe a woman positively? Say she's “talented,” “clever,” or “funny.” Not “gorgeous,” “sweet,” or “cute.”
What if she isnt talented or funny?
12. Examine your language when talking about women. Get rid of “irrational,” “dramatic,” “bossy,” and “badgering” immediately.
Did no one ever teach you irony?
13. Don't think to yourself, I describe men like that too. A) You probably don't. B) If you do, it's to criticize them for acting like a woman.
So you think bossy and irrational are exclusively female traits? Seems to me you are the sexist
14. Do you love “fiery” Latina women? “Strong” Black women? “Mysterious” Asian women? Stop. Pick up a book on decolonial feminism. Read.
Why kill my self so slowly and tortuously when I can bathe in acid?
15. Stop calling women “feisty.” We don't need a special lady word for “has an opinion."
Feisty is a compliment, it combines drive, passion, sarcasm and many other attribute, again who made you the thought police?
16. Recognize women's credibility when you introduce them. “Donna is lovely” is much less useful than “Donna knows shitloads about architecture.”
Im sure Donnas technical skills make for great conversation about jobs, not so much when being interviewed by the adoption agency. Stop assuming you know the context of everything
17. Think about how you describe the young women in your family. Celebrate them for being funny and smart, not for being pretty and compliant.
18. Examine the way you talk about women you’re attracted to. Fat women, old women, queer, trans, and powerful women are not your “guilty crush.”
So now you are castigating men for being attracted to non conventionally attractive women? again WTF is wrong with you?
19. Learn to praise a woman without demonizing other women. “You're not like other girls” is not a compliment. I want to be like other girls. Other girls are awesome.
This shows that feminism is communism. You just demonstrated that you think no woman should ever be viewed as more than by any metric than any other random woman
20. Share writing by women. Don't paraphrase their work in your own Facebook post to show us all how smart or woke you are. I guarantee the woman said it better in the first place.
If women said it better, you are failing the sister hood with this list
21. Buy sanitary pads and tampons and donate them to a homeless shelter. Just do it.
No. Numerous studies have shown donating cash allows charity groups to maximize their buying power for what they need at any given time
22. How much of what you are watching/reading/listening to was made by women? Gender balance your bookcase.
As a SciFi reader I guess that means I'll have to throw away lots of books written by women - so NO
23. Feeling proud of your balanced bookcase? Are there women of color there? Trans, queer, and disabled women? Poor women? Always make sure you’re being intersectional.
See, nothing is ever good enough for irrational bossy badgering people like you
24. Don't buy media that demeans women’s experiences, valorizes violence against women, or excludes them entirely from a cast. It's not enough to oppose those things. You have to actively make them unmarketable.
You mean like womens magazines? Or romance novels? Seems like that would put a lot of women out of work
25. Pay attention to stories with nuanced female characters. It will be interesting, I promise.
Fuck your sexist assumption I dont
26. If you read stories to a child, swap the genders.
Sorry, I dont burn books, not even metephorically. Also as some woman somewhere said it better first, get off your ass and publish it so we can buy it
27. Watch women's sport. And just call it “sports.”
Most men watch sports for the same reason women watch romances. To pretend they are the hero(ine) on display. Most men dont want to pretend they are a woman, they want to pretend they could be the QB
28. Withdraw your support from sports clubs, institutions, and companies that protect and employ rapists and abusers.
Like Hope Solo? Brittney Griner? Glory Johnson? Tonya Harding? I agree by the way, but given the CDC puts women committing the majority of DV and nearly half of sexual assault - its gonna kill womens sports
29. Stop raving about Woody Allen. I don't care if he shits gold. Find a non-accused-abuser to fanboy over.
If accusations are all that is needed despite an exoneration from an investigation I sure hope no one ever accuses you
30. It's General Leia, not princess. The Doctor has a companion, not an assistant. It's Doctor Bartlett, not Mrs Madame First Lady.
Its fiction, get a life. Better yet create your own universes
31. Cast women in parts written for men. We know how to rule kingdoms, go to war, be, not be, and wait for Godot.
Seriously, why the hard on for being the thought police. Maybe instead of complaining about the artistic choices of people talented enough to get their stories out, maybe you create your own art
32. Pay for porn.
But feminists say its bad, which women should I believe you or the ones who say it needs to be outlawed?
33. Recognize that sex work is work. Be an advocate for and ally to sex workers without speaking for them.
Advocate -a person who publicly supports or recommends a particular cause or policy. Kinda hard to advocate with a ball gag in your mouth
34. Share political hot takes from women as well as men. They might not be as widely accessible, so look for them.
Or maybe the women could be better and then their hot takes will get shared on merit alone. Like an equal?
35. Understand that it was never “about ethics in journalism.”
No, it was, as it always is, about demonizing men. And then acting surprised when the people who are treated like shit fight back
36. Speak less in meetings today to make space for your women colleagues to share their thoughts. If you're leading the meeting, make sure women are being heard as much as men.
No. You claim to be equals so ACT LIKE IT and stop demanding special treatment
37. If a woman makes a good point, say, “That was a good point.” Don't repeat her point and take credit for it.
Despite all the article written on this subject I have never seen in happen in real life, nor has anyone ever posted a video of it happening in real life
38. Promote women. Their leadership styles may be different than yours. That's probably a good thing.
No. EARN IT. You keep claiming you want equality, but you dont act like you want it
39. Recruit women on the same salary as men. Even if they don't ask for it.
OK, can I bill you for the difference? No? Then no. Why do you want me to do something you are unwilling to do yourself?
40. Open doors for women with caring responsibilities by offering flexible employment contracts.
A woman told me opening doors for women was oppressive, do I believe you or her?
41. If you meet a man and a woman at work, do not assume the man is the superior for literally no reason.
Its never for no reason
42. If you're wrongly assumed to be more experienced than a woman colleague, correct that person and pass the platform to the woman who knows more.
Why? If the woman in question isnt willing to stand up for herself why am I expected to sacrifice a potential that will help me provide for the women in my life? Why does my wife and daughter need to sacrifice for a woman unwilling to speak for herself?
43. Make a round of tea for the office.
Tea sucks
44. Wash it up.
You expect me to wander the office collecting tea cups to wash as opposed to work? Do you even know what work is if this is what you think women do and what men should help them with?
45. If you find you're only interviewing men for a role, rewrite the job listing so that it’s more welcoming to women.
Again, why can women speak up for themselves? Also what if it is a male specific role like gauging the efficacy of a prostate drug in human trials?
46. Make sure you have women on your interview panel.
If they fail to volunteer for this non paying position should we force them by threatening to fire them if they dont work for free?
47. Tell female colleagues what your salary is.
Why? So I can be accused of oppressing her by bragging about how much I make?
48. Make sure there's childcare at your events.
Why? Kids are a liability and insurance nightmare, if I am hosting a key party the last thing I want is kids there
49. Don't schedule breakfast meetings during the school run.
Why do you think you know when any given business has its most optimal time for meetings? Maybe they have an international call to make. Should we risk laying off thousands so one woman can make a meeting that no longer needs to happen as the investor didnt want to wait three more hours to talk?
50. If you manage a team, make sure that your employees know that you recognize period pain and cystitis as legitimate reasons for a sick day.
Studies show everyone works while sick/in pain. Its not necessarily a management problem
51. If you have a strict boss (or mom or teacher) who is a woman, she is not a “bitch.” Grow up.
She could be, you dont know, and why do you assume a bitch is a bad thing?
52. Expect a woman to do the stuff that's in her job description. Not the other miscellaneous shit you don't know how to do yourself.
How can we expect her to do her job when you want us to constantly help her?
53. Refuse to speak on an all-male panel.
Why? Some all male panels are that way due to women choosing not to participate. Who are we to condemn a womans choice?
54. In a Q&A session, only put your hand up if you have A QUESTION. Others didn’t attend to listen to you.
Has anyone ever accused men in general of being to gabby?
55. If you have friends or family members who use slurs or discriminate against trans or non-binary people, sit them down and explain why they must stop. (This goes for cis women, too.)
Two points - what about regular bigotry, we just ignoring that? Two, the left has a tendency to classify innocent ignorance as hard core bigotry. Fix that before you lecture
56. If you have friends or family members who use slurs or discriminate against women of other races, sit them down and explain why they must stop. (This goes for white women, too.)
Why no admonitions against queer & trans woman about the slurs they use?
57. If you see women with their hands up, put yours down. This can be taken as a metaphor for a lot of things. Think about it.
So I can get shot by the cop telling everyone to put their hands up? No thanks
58. Raising a feminist daughter means she's going to disagree with you. And probably be right. Feel proud, not threatened.
Why would I feel proud to raise a gender bigot?
59. Teach your sons to listen to girls, give them space, believe them, and elevate them.
No, I dont hold to the notion that we reach equality by treating people different based on their sex. Why do you?
60. Dads, buy your daughter tampons, make her hot water bottles, wash her bras. Show her that her body isn't something to be ashamed of.
Given the majority of men are biologically programmed to desire women above all else it seems to me men arent the ones pushing the women should be ashamed meme
61. But dads, do not try to iron her bras. This is a mistake you will only make once.
Cant get through a list with out the all fathers are morons trope, eh?
62. Examine how domestic labor is divided in your home. Who does the cleaning, the childcare, the organizing, the meal budgeting? Sons, this goes for you, too.
According to most sociological surveys males do the majority of housework. And why do you think MALE children only are responsible for overriding their parents?
63. Learn how to do domestic tasks to a high standard. “I'd only do it wrong” is a bullshit excuse.
Learn to understand that just because it wanst done the way you wanted it doesnt mean it didnt get done
64. Never again comment on how long it takes a woman to get ready. WE ARE TRYING TO MEET THE RIDICULOUS STANDARDS OF A SYSTEM YOU BENEFIT FROM.
No, it is a system you benefit from. The whole of society is literally designed to make womens lives easier and safer. Also if you know how long you take, and what time we have to leave, why dont you start earlier?
65. Challenge the patriarchs in your religious group when they enable the oppression of women.
But not the oppression of men?
66. Challenge the patriarchs in your secular movement when they enable the oppression of women.
Im sorry are you equals or not, why dont you challenge?
67. Trust women's religious choices. Don't pretend to liberate them just so you can criticise their beliefs.
Didnt you just tell us to speak up about the religions women have chosen?
68. Examine who books your trips, arranges outings, organizes Christmas, buys birthday cards. Is it a woman? IS IT?
I dont care, I have no interest in doing it period, you dont get oppression points for doing a job you chose that no one asked you to ever do
69. And if it is actually you, a man, don't even dare get in touch with me looking for your medal.
Why not?
70. Take stock of the emotional labor you expect from women. Do you turn to the women around you for emotional support and give nothing in return?
'Men are such unfeeling beasts they never open up'
'How dare he express emotion and expect me to listen'
Pick one, you dont get both
71. Remember that loving your mom/sister/girlfriend is not the same as giving up your own privilege to progress equality for women. And that gender inequality extends beyond the women in your direct social group.
I dont care, people I dont know dont matter to me and are not my responsibility - they claim to be equals, they should act like it
72. Don’t assume that all women are attracted to men.
Stop bio shaming men for a mating adaption hardwired into most men
73. Don’t assume that a woman in public wants to talk to you just because she’s in public.
So never talk to women ever under any circumstances?
74. If a woman tells you she was raped, assaulted, or abused, don't ask her for proof. Ask how you can support her.
You can support her and women in general by taking her to the cops who will need some proof to put that rapist in jail
75. If you see a friend or colleague being inappropriate to a woman, call him out. You will survive the awkwardness, I promise.
No. I've been told for three decades now that women do not need men. You want me to be a witness to HR sure, but you are an equal, so you can handle it yourself
Always. Hold. PEOPLE. Accountable. For. Their. Actions.
Fixed it for you, you bigot
77. Do not walk too close to a woman late at night. That shit can be scary.
Why? As a man I am statistically far more likely to be attacked than her. Tell her to stay away from me
78. If you see a woman being followed or otherwise bothered by a stranger, stick around to make sure she’s safe.
And be accused of stalking or visual rape? No thanks
79. This should go without saying: Do not yell unsolicited “compliments” at women on the street. Or anywhere.
Get women to stop responding favorably to them first and that problem will fix itself
80. If you are a queer man, recognize that your sexuality doesn’t exclude you from potential misogyny.
Cause men are all inherently evil right? Ever notice feminism is bigger on original sin than the child molesting catholic priests?
81. If you are a queer man, recognize that your queer women or non-binary friends may not feel comfortable in a male-dominated space, even if it’s dominated by queer men.
So what who was ever promised the surety of feeling comfortable?
82. Be happy to have women friends without needing them to want to sleep with you. The “friend zone” is not a thing. We do not owe you sex.
The friend zone is a thing, you do not own sex, but you do owe honesty. "We are never having sex" say that exact phrase if you dont want sex
83. Remember that you can lack consent in situations not involving sex—such as when pursuing uninterested women or forcing a hug on a colleague.
How do you get consent to purse when the very act of asking to purse is pursuing without having gotten consent?
84. Champion sex positive women but don't expect them to have sex with you.
Why?
85. Trust a woman to know her own body. If she says she won't enjoy part of your sexual repertoire, do not try to convince her otherwise.
That fine, but she never gets to complain that he never tries anything new. Also trust a guy when he says he wont enjoy preforming big romantic gestures in public
86. Be sensitive to nonverbal cues from women, especially around sex. We’re not just being awkward for no reason. (You read “Cat Person,” didn’t you?)
That was the story where the woman committed rape via fraud by conning a guy into having sex with a women who didnt want it right?
87. It is not cute to try to persuade a woman to have sex with you. EVER. AT ALL. Go home.
But then literally no one ever would ever have sex. Becuase as an equal the reverse would be a rule as well
88. Same goes for pressuring women to have sex without a condom. Go. Home. And masturbate.
Who are you to decide what a woman other than you can choose to consent to?
89. Accidentally impregnated a women who doesn't want a kid? Abortions cost money. Pay for half of it.
Hell, I'd pay for all of it, cheaper by far
90. Accidentally came inside a woman without protection? Plan B is expensive. Pay for all of it.
Same as above
91. Get STD tested. Regularly. Without having to be asked.
92. Examine your opinion on abortion. Then put it in a box. Because, honestly, it's completely irrelevant.
Once men have the option to surrender their legal rights and obligations, sure. But my body my choice right? 18 years of child support means I have no choice in what I do with my body and the proceeded it earns, so I do have a relevant opinion
93. Understand that disabled women are whole, sexual human beings. Listen to and respect them.
Didnt you complain in # 18 about men finding such women sexually attractive?
94. Understand that not all women have periods or vaginas.
No, they have chromosomes like this "XX"
95. Believe women's pain. Periods hurt. Endometriosis is real. Polycystic ovaries, vaginal pain, cystitis. These things are real. Hysteria isn’t.
Explain the Inquisition, Salem Witch Trials, and Satanic Daycare Trails. Oh you are saying hysteria is a female only thing. Seems like you are the sexist
96. If a woman accidentally bleeds on you, try your absolute best to just keep your shit together.
I suppose that depends on where she bleeds on me
97. Lobby your elected officials to implement high quality sex education in schools.
You sure? This would benefit boys as well, and you seem to not want to do that sort of thing
98. Uplift young Black and Indigenous girls at every possible opportunity. No excuses.
Black is apparently a racist term again, and indigenous means born to the area and is not limed to race. Also fails to include immigrants, and implies excluding hispanics, asian, arabs, and semetic people
99. Do not ever assume you know what it’s like.
Right back at ya toots
100. Mainly, just listen to women. Listen to us and believe us. It’s the only place to start if you actually want all women to have a “Happy International Women’s Day.”
Even as I am surprised to find luj posting that long, I am not surprised to see you hold up your own ideas as if they're mine. Hmm. Whence the outrage?
• Billionaire probably knows more than we do about big money
• Billionaire probably has a secure cell phone because of industrial espionage
so these two observations obviously mean that Trump is Jesus™ and James Bond in my mind, time to start the Bloviator!
But don't actually counter the, you know, point. Claim there isn't one when convenient, then go nuts as if there was, lather, rinse, repeat.
Count the posts and see who finds Trump more fascinating.
Have you even noticed you actually campaigned against the idea that people should pay attention to what pensions affect in their economy?
I bet not. Quick! Tweet!

Given their inanity and the ferocity of your belief (both continuing in this hour), I'd say that's how it went. It was weird. I mean, it was fucckin' stupid, but it was weird too. Like Dems and Palin. (I hadn't seen that parallel until today.)

One of the things I like about Reason is the dorm bull-session flavor of their comments. This article, concerning the existence (or not) of left-wing authoritarianism, doesn't disappoint.
Somehow, they got onto the global warming debate! Not sure how.

Highly-trained professional police officers, one of only two types of citizens San Francisco wants to see armed (the other being wealthy powerful politicians), fire 65 rounds at a murder suspect - and miss every shot.

Raciissssssssssst!
Somehow, they got onto the global warming debate! Not sure how.
Because at the heart of the anthropogenic global warming alarmist movement is an authoritarian impulse. Very Soviet-like, in fact. The Party Members are permitted, maybe even encouraged, to jet set around the world in private jets, while the proletariat is to make sacrifices and keep their carbon footprint to a minimum.
What's that old line? scratch a green, find a commie. Which is also why I tend to tell that crowd that as long as Al Gore is going thru carbon like it's going out of style, not one damn word about my carbon footprint.

"encouraged, to jet set around the world in private jets"
Yeah, but that's not the scientists who uncovered the problem but rather the vampire-bat class of greedsters who glom on to anything that catches the public's short attention span.
Frankly, if Hollywood wanted to do something for the environment, they could start by cleaning up the actual city of Hollywood. What a sad dump it's become.

Highly-trained professional police officers ... fire 65 rounds at a murder suspect - and miss every shot.
What is left out, and what is likely impossible to find out, is when is the last time they went to the range? I'm going to go out on a limb and say that any number of so called "gun nuts" go to range more often, and are more proficient with their firearms.
This is the location. Based on the number of shots, they simply shot up the RV the perp was in at the time of their encounter.

Plus ça change. Nothing new under the sun.
At the heart of every quasi-religious movement telling people how to live is an authoritarian impulse; and a "do as I say, not as I do" authoritarian.
Mullah Muhamed Omar told his people to abstain from alcohol and pornography. Yet both were found in his palaces when they were liberated by US and Northern Alliance forces.
And how many times did Jerry Falwell have to apologize for being caught with hookers and blow while fronting the Moral Majority?
Soviet Communist Party leaders relaxed at their Black Sea dachas with wine and caviar while Soviet workers stood in line for bread.
Al Gore tells people to cut their carbon footprint while taking private jets all over the world. Barbara Streisand tells people to get a clothesline and stop using their dryers, while nary an item of clothing dries on the line in her massive yard. Rosie O'Donnell says guns are okay for her children's bodyguard, but not allowed for yours (especially if you are your children's bodyguard).
Some animals are more equal than others. You must work harder.

Trump is filth.
I'll never forget the vehemence —the idiotic, illiterate vehemence— of Raddy's enthusiasm for Trump two years ago. Out of the blue! (It was like Democratic hatred for Palin in 2008... It was completely incoherent, but indisputably heartfelt.) The fantasy of being a singular arrogant personality (celebrity, even) to bend others to his will obviously satisfied an enormous need in his heart, something from an eighth grade daydream.
You guys are licensed to drive, (presumably) registered to vote and apparently bringing home weekly paychecks. But for all you know of the world, your greatest need from the people whom you employ with your tax dollars is that they greedily pursue their self-dealing corruptions at your expense in costs of execution as well as consequences... So that you can identify with a "winner."
Makes the doe-eyed adoration of the Obama "Hope" poster look psychologically nuanced.

Crid at March 9, 2018 6:17 PM
This is LONG - its repose to the list mentioned in the tweet sixclaws linkd
1. Before explaining something to a woman, ask yourself if she might already understand. She may know more about it than you do.
If Im explaining something to anyone be it a woman or not it is becuase A) they dont know what they are talking about, of B) they havent bothered to say they already know what I am talking about - and that on them not me. You claim to be a mans equal ACT like it
2. Related: Never, ever try to explain feminism to a woman.
Why not? Most of them dont know what they are talking about
3. Trans women are women. Repeat that until you perish.
Not according to feminists - see not even three in and I am already having to explain things to you
4. RESPECT PEOPLE’S PRONOUNS. It’s not hard.
No. Becuase its not about respect, its about control and I have no respect for the thought police
5. Remember that fat women exist and aren’t all trying to get thin. Treat them with respect.
Why not just respect everyone, why carve out special groups? Why are you not so subtlety fat shamming?
6. In fact, just never comment on a woman's body.
Again, no - where the fuck do you have the unmitigated gall to tell men they are not allowed to express joy and amazement in their lovers? WFT is wrong with you?
7. Be kind to women in customer service positions. Tip them extra. (But not in a creepy way.)
Why? What makes female servers more deserving than male servers other than your sexism?
8. Trust women. When they teach you something, don't feel the need to go and check for yourself. And especially do not Google it in front of them.
Again what makes women so magical? Here is a puzzle what if a woman tells me 2+2=5? what if two women disagree, who do I believe then?
9. Don’t maintain a double standard for… anything, ever.
Why not when you do?
10. CLOSE YOUR LEGS ON PUBLIC TRANSIT, OH MY GOD.
Stop body shamming men for an unconscious biological reaction which ensures women can have children
11. Trying to describe a woman positively? Say she's “talented,” “clever,” or “funny.” Not “gorgeous,” “sweet,” or “cute.”
What if she isnt talented or funny?
12. Examine your language when talking about women. Get rid of “irrational,” “dramatic,” “bossy,” and “badgering” immediately.
Did no one ever teach you irony?
13. Don't think to yourself, I describe men like that too. A) You probably don't. B) If you do, it's to criticize them for acting like a woman.
So you think bossy and irrational are exclusively female traits? Seems to me you are the sexist
14. Do you love “fiery” Latina women? “Strong” Black women? “Mysterious” Asian women? Stop. Pick up a book on decolonial feminism. Read.
Why kill my self so slowly and tortuously when I can bathe in acid?
15. Stop calling women “feisty.” We don't need a special lady word for “has an opinion."
Feisty is a compliment, it combines drive, passion, sarcasm and many other attribute, again who made you the thought police?
16. Recognize women's credibility when you introduce them. “Donna is lovely” is much less useful than “Donna knows shitloads about architecture.”
Im sure Donnas technical skills make for great conversation about jobs, not so much when being interviewed by the adoption agency. Stop assuming you know the context of everything
17. Think about how you describe the young women in your family. Celebrate them for being funny and smart, not for being pretty and compliant.
18. Examine the way you talk about women you’re attracted to. Fat women, old women, queer, trans, and powerful women are not your “guilty crush.”
So now you are castigating men for being attracted to non conventionally attractive women? again WTF is wrong with you?
19. Learn to praise a woman without demonizing other women. “You're not like other girls” is not a compliment. I want to be like other girls. Other girls are awesome.
This shows that feminism is communism. You just demonstrated that you think no woman should ever be viewed as more than by any metric than any other random woman
20. Share writing by women. Don't paraphrase their work in your own Facebook post to show us all how smart or woke you are. I guarantee the woman said it better in the first place.
If women said it better, you are failing the sister hood with this list
21. Buy sanitary pads and tampons and donate them to a homeless shelter. Just do it.
No. Numerous studies have shown donating cash allows charity groups to maximize their buying power for what they need at any given time
22. How much of what you are watching/reading/listening to was made by women? Gender balance your bookcase.
As a SciFi reader I guess that means I'll have to throw away lots of books written by women - so NO
23. Feeling proud of your balanced bookcase? Are there women of color there? Trans, queer, and disabled women? Poor women? Always make sure you’re being intersectional.
See, nothing is ever good enough for irrational bossy badgering people like you
24. Don't buy media that demeans women’s experiences, valorizes violence against women, or excludes them entirely from a cast. It's not enough to oppose those things. You have to actively make them unmarketable.
You mean like womens magazines? Or romance novels? Seems like that would put a lot of women out of work
25. Pay attention to stories with nuanced female characters. It will be interesting, I promise.
Fuck your sexist assumption I dont
26. If you read stories to a child, swap the genders.
Sorry, I dont burn books, not even metephorically. Also as some woman somewhere said it better first, get off your ass and publish it so we can buy it
27. Watch women's sport. And just call it “sports.”
Most men watch sports for the same reason women watch romances. To pretend they are the hero(ine) on display. Most men dont want to pretend they are a woman, they want to pretend they could be the QB
28. Withdraw your support from sports clubs, institutions, and companies that protect and employ rapists and abusers.
Like Hope Solo? Brittney Griner? Glory Johnson? Tonya Harding? I agree by the way, but given the CDC puts women committing the majority of DV and nearly half of sexual assault - its gonna kill womens sports
29. Stop raving about Woody Allen. I don't care if he shits gold. Find a non-accused-abuser to fanboy over.
If accusations are all that is needed despite an exoneration from an investigation I sure hope no one ever accuses you
30. It's General Leia, not princess. The Doctor has a companion, not an assistant. It's Doctor Bartlett, not Mrs Madame First Lady.
Its fiction, get a life. Better yet create your own universes
31. Cast women in parts written for men. We know how to rule kingdoms, go to war, be, not be, and wait for Godot.
Seriously, why the hard on for being the thought police. Maybe instead of complaining about the artistic choices of people talented enough to get their stories out, maybe you create your own art
32. Pay for porn.
But feminists say its bad, which women should I believe you or the ones who say it needs to be outlawed?
33. Recognize that sex work is work. Be an advocate for and ally to sex workers without speaking for them.
Advocate -a person who publicly supports or recommends a particular cause or policy. Kinda hard to advocate with a ball gag in your mouth
34. Share political hot takes from women as well as men. They might not be as widely accessible, so look for them.
Or maybe the women could be better and then their hot takes will get shared on merit alone. Like an equal?
35. Understand that it was never “about ethics in journalism.”
No, it was, as it always is, about demonizing men. And then acting surprised when the people who are treated like shit fight back
36. Speak less in meetings today to make space for your women colleagues to share their thoughts. If you're leading the meeting, make sure women are being heard as much as men.
No. You claim to be equals so ACT LIKE IT and stop demanding special treatment
37. If a woman makes a good point, say, “That was a good point.” Don't repeat her point and take credit for it.
Despite all the article written on this subject I have never seen in happen in real life, nor has anyone ever posted a video of it happening in real life
38. Promote women. Their leadership styles may be different than yours. That's probably a good thing.
No. EARN IT. You keep claiming you want equality, but you dont act like you want it
39. Recruit women on the same salary as men. Even if they don't ask for it.
OK, can I bill you for the difference? No? Then no. Why do you want me to do something you are unwilling to do yourself?
40. Open doors for women with caring responsibilities by offering flexible employment contracts.
A woman told me opening doors for women was oppressive, do I believe you or her?
41. If you meet a man and a woman at work, do not assume the man is the superior for literally no reason.
Its never for no reason
42. If you're wrongly assumed to be more experienced than a woman colleague, correct that person and pass the platform to the woman who knows more.
Why? If the woman in question isnt willing to stand up for herself why am I expected to sacrifice a potential that will help me provide for the women in my life? Why does my wife and daughter need to sacrifice for a woman unwilling to speak for herself?
43. Make a round of tea for the office.
Tea sucks
44. Wash it up.
You expect me to wander the office collecting tea cups to wash as opposed to work? Do you even know what work is if this is what you think women do and what men should help them with?
45. If you find you're only interviewing men for a role, rewrite the job listing so that it’s more welcoming to women.
Again, why can women speak up for themselves? Also what if it is a male specific role like gauging the efficacy of a prostate drug in human trials?
46. Make sure you have women on your interview panel.
If they fail to volunteer for this non paying position should we force them by threatening to fire them if they dont work for free?
47. Tell female colleagues what your salary is.
Why? So I can be accused of oppressing her by bragging about how much I make?
48. Make sure there's childcare at your events.
Why? Kids are a liability and insurance nightmare, if I am hosting a key party the last thing I want is kids there
49. Don't schedule breakfast meetings during the school run.
Why do you think you know when any given business has its most optimal time for meetings? Maybe they have an international call to make. Should we risk laying off thousands so one woman can make a meeting that no longer needs to happen as the investor didnt want to wait three more hours to talk?
50. If you manage a team, make sure that your employees know that you recognize period pain and cystitis as legitimate reasons for a sick day.
Studies show everyone works while sick/in pain. Its not necessarily a management problem
51. If you have a strict boss (or mom or teacher) who is a woman, she is not a “bitch.” Grow up.
She could be, you dont know, and why do you assume a bitch is a bad thing?
52. Expect a woman to do the stuff that's in her job description. Not the other miscellaneous shit you don't know how to do yourself.
How can we expect her to do her job when you want us to constantly help her?
53. Refuse to speak on an all-male panel.
Why? Some all male panels are that way due to women choosing not to participate. Who are we to condemn a womans choice?
54. In a Q&A session, only put your hand up if you have A QUESTION. Others didn’t attend to listen to you.
Has anyone ever accused men in general of being to gabby?
55. If you have friends or family members who use slurs or discriminate against trans or non-binary people, sit them down and explain why they must stop. (This goes for cis women, too.)
Two points - what about regular bigotry, we just ignoring that? Two, the left has a tendency to classify innocent ignorance as hard core bigotry. Fix that before you lecture
56. If you have friends or family members who use slurs or discriminate against women of other races, sit them down and explain why they must stop. (This goes for white women, too.)
Why no admonitions against queer & trans woman about the slurs they use?
57. If you see women with their hands up, put yours down. This can be taken as a metaphor for a lot of things. Think about it.
So I can get shot by the cop telling everyone to put their hands up? No thanks
58. Raising a feminist daughter means she's going to disagree with you. And probably be right. Feel proud, not threatened.
Why would I feel proud to raise a gender bigot?
59. Teach your sons to listen to girls, give them space, believe them, and elevate them.
No, I dont hold to the notion that we reach equality by treating people different based on their sex. Why do you?
60. Dads, buy your daughter tampons, make her hot water bottles, wash her bras. Show her that her body isn't something to be ashamed of.
Given the majority of men are biologically programmed to desire women above all else it seems to me men arent the ones pushing the women should be ashamed meme
61. But dads, do not try to iron her bras. This is a mistake you will only make once.
Cant get through a list with out the all fathers are morons trope, eh?
62. Examine how domestic labor is divided in your home. Who does the cleaning, the childcare, the organizing, the meal budgeting? Sons, this goes for you, too.
According to most sociological surveys males do the majority of housework. And why do you think MALE children only are responsible for overriding their parents?
63. Learn how to do domestic tasks to a high standard. “I'd only do it wrong” is a bullshit excuse.
Learn to understand that just because it wanst done the way you wanted it doesnt mean it didnt get done
64. Never again comment on how long it takes a woman to get ready. WE ARE TRYING TO MEET THE RIDICULOUS STANDARDS OF A SYSTEM YOU BENEFIT FROM.
No, it is a system you benefit from. The whole of society is literally designed to make womens lives easier and safer. Also if you know how long you take, and what time we have to leave, why dont you start earlier?
65. Challenge the patriarchs in your religious group when they enable the oppression of women.
But not the oppression of men?
66. Challenge the patriarchs in your secular movement when they enable the oppression of women.
Im sorry are you equals or not, why dont you challenge?
67. Trust women's religious choices. Don't pretend to liberate them just so you can criticise their beliefs.
Didnt you just tell us to speak up about the religions women have chosen?
68. Examine who books your trips, arranges outings, organizes Christmas, buys birthday cards. Is it a woman? IS IT?
I dont care, I have no interest in doing it period, you dont get oppression points for doing a job you chose that no one asked you to ever do
69. And if it is actually you, a man, don't even dare get in touch with me looking for your medal.
Why not?
70. Take stock of the emotional labor you expect from women. Do you turn to the women around you for emotional support and give nothing in return?
'Men are such unfeeling beasts they never open up'
'How dare he express emotion and expect me to listen'
Pick one, you dont get both
71. Remember that loving your mom/sister/girlfriend is not the same as giving up your own privilege to progress equality for women. And that gender inequality extends beyond the women in your direct social group.
I dont care, people I dont know dont matter to me and are not my responsibility - they claim to be equals, they should act like it
72. Don’t assume that all women are attracted to men.
Stop bio shaming men for a mating adaption hardwired into most men
73. Don’t assume that a woman in public wants to talk to you just because she’s in public.
So never talk to women ever under any circumstances?
74. If a woman tells you she was raped, assaulted, or abused, don't ask her for proof. Ask how you can support her.
You can support her and women in general by taking her to the cops who will need some proof to put that rapist in jail
75. If you see a friend or colleague being inappropriate to a woman, call him out. You will survive the awkwardness, I promise.
No. I've been told for three decades now that women do not need men. You want me to be a witness to HR sure, but you are an equal, so you can handle it yourself
76. Repeat after me: Always. Hold. Men. Accountable. For. Their. Actions.
Always. Hold. PEOPLE. Accountable. For. Their. Actions.
Fixed it for you, you bigot
77. Do not walk too close to a woman late at night. That shit can be scary.
Why? As a man I am statistically far more likely to be attacked than her. Tell her to stay away from me
78. If you see a woman being followed or otherwise bothered by a stranger, stick around to make sure she’s safe.
And be accused of stalking or visual rape? No thanks
79. This should go without saying: Do not yell unsolicited “compliments” at women on the street. Or anywhere.
Get women to stop responding favorably to them first and that problem will fix itself
80. If you are a queer man, recognize that your sexuality doesn’t exclude you from potential misogyny.
Cause men are all inherently evil right? Ever notice feminism is bigger on original sin than the child molesting catholic priests?
81. If you are a queer man, recognize that your queer women or non-binary friends may not feel comfortable in a male-dominated space, even if it’s dominated by queer men.
So what who was ever promised the surety of feeling comfortable?
82. Be happy to have women friends without needing them to want to sleep with you. The “friend zone” is not a thing. We do not owe you sex.
The friend zone is a thing, you do not own sex, but you do owe honesty. "We are never having sex" say that exact phrase if you dont want sex
83. Remember that you can lack consent in situations not involving sex—such as when pursuing uninterested women or forcing a hug on a colleague.
How do you get consent to purse when the very act of asking to purse is pursuing without having gotten consent?
84. Champion sex positive women but don't expect them to have sex with you.
Why?
85. Trust a woman to know her own body. If she says she won't enjoy part of your sexual repertoire, do not try to convince her otherwise.
That fine, but she never gets to complain that he never tries anything new. Also trust a guy when he says he wont enjoy preforming big romantic gestures in public
86. Be sensitive to nonverbal cues from women, especially around sex. We’re not just being awkward for no reason. (You read “Cat Person,” didn’t you?)
That was the story where the woman committed rape via fraud by conning a guy into having sex with a women who didnt want it right?
87. It is not cute to try to persuade a woman to have sex with you. EVER. AT ALL. Go home.
But then literally no one ever would ever have sex. Becuase as an equal the reverse would be a rule as well
88. Same goes for pressuring women to have sex without a condom. Go. Home. And masturbate.
Who are you to decide what a woman other than you can choose to consent to?
89. Accidentally impregnated a women who doesn't want a kid? Abortions cost money. Pay for half of it.
Hell, I'd pay for all of it, cheaper by far
90. Accidentally came inside a woman without protection? Plan B is expensive. Pay for all of it.
Same as above
91. Get STD tested. Regularly. Without having to be asked.
92. Examine your opinion on abortion. Then put it in a box. Because, honestly, it's completely irrelevant.
Once men have the option to surrender their legal rights and obligations, sure. But my body my choice right? 18 years of child support means I have no choice in what I do with my body and the proceeded it earns, so I do have a relevant opinion
93. Understand that disabled women are whole, sexual human beings. Listen to and respect them.
Didnt you complain in # 18 about men finding such women sexually attractive?
94. Understand that not all women have periods or vaginas.
No, they have chromosomes like this "XX"
95. Believe women's pain. Periods hurt. Endometriosis is real. Polycystic ovaries, vaginal pain, cystitis. These things are real. Hysteria isn’t.
Explain the Inquisition, Salem Witch Trials, and Satanic Daycare Trails. Oh you are saying hysteria is a female only thing. Seems like you are the sexist
96. If a woman accidentally bleeds on you, try your absolute best to just keep your shit together.
I suppose that depends on where she bleeds on me
97. Lobby your elected officials to implement high quality sex education in schools.
You sure? This would benefit boys as well, and you seem to not want to do that sort of thing
98. Uplift young Black and Indigenous girls at every possible opportunity. No excuses.
Black is apparently a racist term again, and indigenous means born to the area and is not limed to race. Also fails to include immigrants, and implies excluding hispanics, asian, arabs, and semetic people
99. Do not ever assume you know what it’s like.
Right back at ya toots
100. Mainly, just listen to women. Listen to us and believe us. It’s the only place to start if you actually want all women to have a “Happy International Women’s Day.”
As both this list, and this clip shows, listening to women is effectively pointless

Even as I am surprised to find luj posting that long, I am not surprised to see you hold up your own ideas as if they're mine. Hmm. Whence the outrage?
• Billionaire probably knows more than we do about big money
• Billionaire probably has a secure cell phone because of industrial espionage
so these two observations obviously mean that Trump is Jesus™ and James Bond in my mind, time to start the Bloviator!
But don't actually counter the, you know, point. Claim there isn't one when convenient, then go nuts as if there was, lather, rinse, repeat.
Count the posts and see who finds Trump more fascinating.
Have you even noticed you actually campaigned against the idea that people should pay attention to what pensions affect in their economy?
I bet not. Quick! Tweet!

Trump would have done a much better job at earning, and keeping it, if he (in particular) had.

Given their inanity and the ferocity of your belief (both continuing in this hour), I'd say that's how it went. It was weird. I mean, it was fucckin' stupid, but it was weird too. Like Dems and Palin. (I hadn't seen that parallel until today.)
