And yeah, Seriously feminists?  E = mc^2 'privileges' the speed of light?  Good lord. Einstein, Maxwell and Newton must be spinning in their graves.
And really? Ad hominems on Einstein?  Seriously?  Good lord.  Go wallow with the creationists.  They're your betters as far as I'm concerned.

frankly I'm more disturbed by the characterization of the "Jihadist". they aren't fanatics in the Nietzschean sense--not in the strictest sense. Then again, it does take a psycho to equate Einstein's discoveries with feminism. same here.

people there still think people in America are jerkwads though: why else would Americans re-elect monkey-man in '04?

But didn't you get the memo?  Females = empathy and awesome, while male = anti-empathy and everything wrong with the world!!11111eleven

So rereading the above article, I see a huge fail right out of the gate.  On #10: sex ed for girls:

"Young ladies, you're in your teens now and already you have no doubt run into some guys who are being suspiciously nice to you. Likely you have figured out that in many cases, this has nothing to do with them being nice guys and everything to do with them desperately wanting you to touch their boner.
What you may not realize is that over the next few years, a string of rejections will cause many of these men to start hating you. Some of them hate you already, because they grew up hating their mothers and it kind of carries over. Boys are like that.

Now, some of these men will then become members of the Pick Up Artist Community, also known as the Seduction Community. This is a loose club of guys who see females as a collection of walking masturbation aids. They have websites and seminars and chat rooms where they trade tips on how to manipulate you into having sex with them."

Yes, according to Wong, are you a real nice guy who was friend-zoned?  Well, that's just because you secretly want her to touch your boner and you should feel bad.  Are you an MRA or pick-up artist community member?  Well, you're just butt-hurt because you got friend-zoned so many times you self-entitled mommy issue having little man-child!

#5--I might be tempted to care what she thinks if this wasn't the same cunt who used the history of high heels to lash out at MRAs for no good reason.  Chances are, she's a feminist, and likely looks the other way with fatalism when it comes to wanting dat government sponsored goods for the sisterhood...Natalism--it's only bad when it's a boy.  If it's a grown woman, it's totally awesome and anyone who disagrees is an EBIL MRA and should feel bad.

Did a brief search; this seems to be an excerpt from Fashionable Nonsense: Postmodern Intellectuals' Abuse of Science, which seems to have been written to highlight the bogosity of such, ahem, """""theories."""""

...

Still trying to come to grips with the idea that anybody could claim relativity is sexist in the first place. GOG.

So it might be a Poe? *phew* Still doesn't change the fact that the feminists going off on science like fluid mechanics can't be figured out by men or whatever that Dawkins finally had to formally call bullshit on was a real thing.  Hence why I didn't put it past them.

Yeah, #5 is especially bogus. As if it's impossible to evaluate candidates on the merits. How does he explain lifelong statists who become libertarians? In fact, he doesn't mention libertarians AT ALL. It's the Political False Dichotomy again: Democrats have Good Brains, Republicans have Bad Brains. Guess which side he's on?

#4 has the same problem. It doesn't explain lifelong Christians or Muslims who become atheists.

The other three can be summed up thusly: it's not my fault I'm a loser and a failure; it's my genes!

Well, Fashionable Nonsense is only highlighting the bogosity; the "E=mc^2 is sexist" bit was put forward, in all seriousness, by Luce Irigaray, a French feminist, psychoanalytic, and cultural theorist.

"WE'LL SEE HOW GOOD YOU LIKE YOUR VITAMIN TABLETS AND FROZEN VEGETABLES WHEN YOU'RE SHITTING YOURSELF IN AN ADULT DIAPER WISHING YOU WENT ORGANIC!!!!!!"--my mom, implying vitamin tablets and frozen veggies are poison compared to her glorious overpriced placebo supplements she calls organic ones.  Seriously, she spent $500 in a week (or $2000 dollars a month if extrapolated...that's more than our house's mortgage...) just on organic fruits/veggies (and some dairy) the week she said that...
Despite the fact that there's zero evidence that organic increases nothing but your bills, impact on the environment and chances of getting e coli, etc; and that synthetic vitamins in tablets/pills aren't worse, but just don't have as much bio-availability due to lack of synergistic nutrients....
Also, canned/frozen fruits/veggies aren't THAT much worse for you.  Hence why I call organic fresh fruits/veggies supplements--unproven/ineffectual ones at that!
