Which one’s MacKinnon?
Oh how cute – one of the “I really really hate Rebecca Watson” crowd has made a fake Twitter account in order to do a lot of stupid self-implicating tweets as if by Rebecca. Oh haha that’s so funny – what’s next, emptying a pail of garbage in her bed? Locking a skunk in her bathroom? Putting a bomb under her car?
— Our Ophelia, Brevity is the soul of wit
You have to love it. “Freethought”blogs in action. Continuing a proud tradition of cherry-picking and confirmation bias as evidence for truth, Ophelia has blundered onto another nugget of nothing and seizes on it, without any hesitation or any inclination to research it, and immediately exploits it to full strategic advantage. And excess, by conflating criticism of poor innocent Becky Watson with car bombing while she’s at it. No slander is too vile.
Quite unlike those horrid assholes at ERV that she despises with her whole vagina – who similarly saw this item and dismissed it as juvenile, copycat 4channery – Ophelia immediately grasps it uncritically with both fists and declares it evidence because it tells her what she wants to hear – that her suspicions are valid and her assumptions, as always, are right.
So here we have it again – what passes for critical thinking at the new baboon empire. In her haste to condemn, Ophelia bypasses reality entirely as little more than an annoying impediment. The few remaining rational minds amongst us, ie. the enemy, on the other hand did not merit this Twitter idiocy with any more than a passing mention. And on seeing replicate idiocies surfacing elsewhere, actually did some detective work and now have a rough idea of the culprits, including associated websites1 and probable geolocation. These are just common ‘net losers seeking nothing more than attention, and who have been indiscriminate in who they have targeted – and Watson is guaranteed to sucker in emotional imbeciles, as Ophelia has just proven. This detail though, of course, is irrelevant – where we see nonsense, Ophelia sees strategic advantage to, yet again, kick Abbie Smith, the object of her undying hatred.
How to be a sour cunt
You see, Ophelia is typical of her gender feminist / slave moralist tribe. While she does express a deep and malignant hatred for all things penis enhanced, her real venom is reserved for other women like Abbie Smith.
Nothing grates on Ophelia more than women who have no need for her self-righteous whining. Chicks like Abbie then grind salt into the wound by being independent and successful in their own right and doing it without crutches or sheltered workshops or white knights like the Baboon King to come riding to the rescue.
There is no resentment quite so bitter as that which focuses on those that clearly show to the world what a failure you are by comparison. Ophelia has cultivated a pathological hatred for Abbie – a classic bitch fight – which Abbie makes even worse by having too much dignity to return. So Ophelia churns out blog spittle, filtering reality to find isolated snippets to paste together in collage and demonise Abbie – that is all a hollow shell, dried out, South Park feminist spite monger can really do. She has nothing of substance to fight with. Female misogyny – it makes alleged male misogyny2 look truly pathetic.
Not that it’s necessary, but it’s still always fresh to read each new piece of Ophelia’s dried prune malevolence –
Meanwhile according to one of Abbie Smith’s goons, calling me a cunt would be an insult to vaginas. Right, I can see that – because – because – um – because I think Abbie Smith and her goons should not call people cunts, twats, fucking bitches and all the rest of it. So yeah, sure, obviously that makes me whatever that word we don’t have yet is, that’s worse than cunt.
It’s a production line. Ophelia doesn’t just want to hurt Abbie – she wants to destroy her. She wants to ruin her professionally by saturating google with these types of items. This is raw, woman hating malice. It’s what you do when you don’t have a penis to rape with. This is what makes Ophelia such a natural fit at baboon central.
Of course when dealing with idiocy of this kind, there is an infinite n+1 idiot regression. There are worse things than Ophelia – those that read her. Like this human skidmark calling for censorship in the name of the Greater Good after being inspired by Ophelia’s preaching –
John Kane says: …Does this mean that ERV is getting away with something? Should people make complaints to National Geographic about this?
Does National Geographic really want to have the largest collection of hate-speech this side of FOX News on one of is more visible blogs?
I wager that a handful of complaints from readers abut ERV would shut those blog posts down…
Why don’t you go to town John-boy? The Streisand Effect is a very good thing. Because then we can also dig out the ScienceBlogs archive of the baboon board – and associated nonsense from other loons that followed The Naked Emperor into the new Soviet.
Pit of fucking nihilists that create nothing. All they want to do is destroy others, stifle their words and control their thoughts whilst generating nothing of any positive value in return. This is the true essence of the slave rebellion – faced with the awful realisation of their abjectness and the complete impossibility of attaining equity on intrinsic merit, they respond in the only way their limited abilities allow – drag all else around down to the level of their own gutters.
Bright side is people are finally catching on to this obvious reality, and that is a good thing. As is the fact that maniacs like Ophelia are all now congregating under the one roof in the ideological ghetto that is the Crisis Factory – concentrated idiocy is so much harder to hide.
1 – No, I am not going to link it here. Attention is what these cretins crave, and they have also left idiocy here. I have mentioned them several times and if you really need evidence, there are links in other recent posts here. Not funny, not clever and as far as trolling goes, lame even by ’90s US college standards.
2 – Still waiting for even one instance of atheist “misogyny” from the Patriarchal Conspiracy™ to be substantiated – where the movement has visibly approved the ill-treatment of women. Hell will freeze – because there aren’t any. Conversely, evidence of misogyny from females just keeps growing.

The atheist movement as it’s currently constituted will always generate mediocre hacks like Buttsin, PeeZus and Twatson. IMHO, the movement has simply become too populist, and the spokespeople are a little too close to the mode of the Bell Curve.
But that’s just me, I don’t expect too many here to agree.
October 15, 2011 at 3:16 pm
It’s called gentrification.
October 15, 2011 at 9:42 pm
They’ve degentrified themselves into a ghetto where no logic can go, not without looking very out of place, anyways. And not without being picked on by non-roaming, leashed gangs of freefromrationalthoughts nutters.
October 15, 2011 at 10:28 pm
Quite accurate about the “ghetto”.
I had thought this from the beginning when “free-of-thought” blogs were attracting flies much as does a growing pile of fresh turds.
I prefer to think of it as one of those “gated communities” where the residents/prisoners consider themselves to be so unaproachably upper-class that even mere plumbers must request entry.
The residents do not realise it, but they have imprisoned themselves into their own echo-chamber, much like the crippling “Green Zone” in Baghdad.

MKG: I prefer to think of it as one of those “gated communities” where the residents/prisoners consider themselves to be so unaproachably upper-class that even mere plumbers must request entry.
Y’know, I was ploughing through more Sloterdijk (google it you cripple, too lazy to link) and he was describing this kind of social insularity as virtual aristocracy – and I find that quite fitting. It is all rather like Marie Antoinette’s court in pre-revolutionary Versailles. Completely oblivious to the reality outside, spinning poisonous nonsense theories to each other about what motivates the peasants oustide while nibbling on delicacies and playing cards to kill time. Very apt.

It is good to note when another actually understands the difference between “mode”, “median” and “average”. 🙂
October 16, 2011 at 3:42 am
What did we expect? The campaign pretty much went this direction of atheists-as-victims of this religious majority conspiring to implement a theocracy and take away our rights. Is it at all surprising that gender feminism fits like a hand in a glove?
I still prefer to think that people are ignorant rather than malevolent; that they simply don’t know who we are, what we believe, and how much we share in common with them.
Alas, that was the old new atheist movement…

I think 10 posts in 22 minutes is plenty of chance to say something that’s not vapid or stupid is a fair bit of grace John. Must be a slow night on the anime channel. As I say, the only thing you can censor is information – good, bad or ugly. You’re none of the above – just rote posting dumbness. Bye.
If you have something with meat to say, it will be welcomed. But its a matter of proving it. In the mean time you can share a folder with the vaginoplasty surgeons and SEO consultants. Balls in your court.

Hang on Franc!
I really want that self-professed Latin (and Old English) “scholar” to educate me on the pretentiously false “subjunctive” case of his (non-intentionally) bullshit words designed to embarrass an opponent who is far better armed of which he could ever have dreamed!
He has met his Latin lover with me. And he is f(l)ailing badly.
A battle of wits against an unarmed opponent.
(I shall leave it to the gentle reader as to who is whom.)
I also read and write Old English, so the feminine “distaff” gag was so “old hat” that I dismissed it as being a trope not worthy of comment. Shakespeare thought it too base for anything but comedy, and I agree.
But he BRAGGED about it! Un-be-fuckin-lievable!!
It would be uncharitable to suggest that he has it up his sleeve as a “word of the week (weak?)” with which to flourish at Watson’s Bordello slut-parties in order to impress the hoi-polloi.
Perhaps he is a Greek scholar as well as one of Latin?
Who knows. (Rhetorical)
If you send him to the naughty step, whence my cheap jollies at this cretinous poseur’s expense, eh?
You didn’t think of that now, did you?
I am enjoying this schadenfreude with this Morales dickhead[1].

John, it appears that you remember me with a fondness that involves your toilet slave status, and you’re imagining that I am massaging you or some such thing. I’m fine with you having any thoughts you like, but have to let you know that such fondness is NOT returned. Think what you like though, since I don’t believe in thought crimes, just don’t try and get me to participate in such banter. Keep it in your head.
Actually you should probably keep all the rest of your dribble in your head too. The rest of us actually make points here rather than gibber petty nonsense and repeating it with a mosquito-like peskiness.
October 15, 2011 at 10:12 pm
You know, I actually saw this coming (for once!) and bailed out of the Benson Bomber well before it crashed in flames in a Dresden quarter.
The main marker for me was (and remains) her chronic uncritical and total worship of way-less-than-mediocre philosophers, and philosophy in general, no matter how obviously absurd. I have the feeling that she would have fallen hook, line and sinker for the Sokal affair.
This was/is an indication, (if not an actual pathology), of the enslaved and infantile intellect.
Ms. Benson has not changed in her utter refusal to analyse & dismiss the bunkum that most philosophers pour out of their fundaments.
It is little wonder that she proceeds to do exactly the same with compatriot & symmaternate[1] misogynistic-gender-feminists, Pharyngulites, and other folk who refuse to think, or are incapable of thinking, for themselves, but lazily leave it to others to shackle their opinions to any passing (but irrational) fad, yet be proud of abandoning their mental-independence in favour of a “cuddly” group-think (urk!).

Thus evincing your ignorance; its Latin distaff cognate would be ‘matria’.
October 16, 2011 at 8:45 pm
At least you have shown that you read most of my contribution, unlike the vast hordes of your fellow fashion-slaves.
But (at least) two points against your overstuffed and vastly overconfident “criticism”:
1) I pointedly noted to the point of flamboyance that I had invented a silly neologism. I clearly outline in advance my intent to comically coin a term.
2) “matria” is NOT LATIN!! Not in any way, shape, nor form!!
If anything, it is Spanish. Or vaguely related to the Latin for “pantry”.
Just who is “evincing their ignorance” here, spotty Hercules?
I trust that you have not stooped to gaining one’s classical education from Ms. Watson?
I don’t like having a battle of wits against an unarmed opponent.
You should have just stuck to the script that you were handed: “NO!”
At least it is in English.
October 16, 2011 at 8:55 pm
"I ♥ Becky"
Hm. Shall we compare?
“patria”:”matria” vs. “patria”:”symmaternate”.
(Hm, tricky, that)
—
You succeeded; it’s comical, alright! 🙂
Well, no, but then, neither is symmaternate — more to the point, you failed to note I employed the subjunctive mood.
(You really don’t get that would be the distaff construct, even when it’s pointed out?)

The Kinks put it more succinctly than I (in 1966):
Benson is a dedicated follower of fashion.
October 16, 2011 at 10:05 pm
I only noticed the utter hypocrisy of Ophelia’s Banner:
“Fighting Fashionable Nonsense”
!!!!!!!!!!! + exclamation marks ^ googolplex!
For FUX-SAKE!
As I have outlined with copious evidence elsewhere, Ophelia[1] is the type-sample of a dedicated follower of fashion!
Of gender-feminist fashion, of misogynist fashion, of misanandrist fashion, of misanthropist fashion and of anything anti-independent-thought fashion.
David Bowie wrote that song about Ophelia, didn’t he?
________________________
Oh, and for those who might be curious, compare Ophelia Benson with the Ophelia character in Hamlet.
The parallels are so striking and profound that it took my breath away upon the rememberence of the striking coincidence of their faux “nunnish” attitudes to the real world, and its lack of correspondence to that petulantly which they wish it to be.
October 16, 2011 at 10:29 pm
The killer is that she also fights epistemic relativism. That one is pure gold. Don’t forget, you are also obligated to take her seriously.
October 16, 2011 at 10:37 pm
Quite.
I had seen that post of yours.
And agreed with it.
Such only confirms my increasingly curmudegeonous attitude toward the intellectual-wank that is most of philosophy, if not all of it.
Ophelia worships philosophy.
Need any more be said?
“epistemic relativity”?!
Suffocation in barren space is too good for them.
October 16, 2011 at 10:59 pm
Apologies, you did indeed. Another real life confirmation of The Emperor’s New Clothes fable.
Philosophy is typhos for the most part – sophist distraction for cafe set pseudo-intellectual wankers that have no other life skills of any kind.
That’s why I am such a Diogenes groupie – his eternal contempt for Plato – and Plato’s inability to deal with “that madman”.
Most philosophy, as exemplified by Kant, does not want to enlighten, it wants to obfuscate – it is both elitist and separatist. I stress I did not say *all*, just *most*. Much like the baboon board, it panders to the inadequate by creating artificial in/out group stupidities.
Diogenes kept it simple, and in the long run, as far as philosophy that does affect us goes, left Plato in the dust.

He’s semi-literate, but he makes up for it in having no actual points to make with his skills. The others are the reverse. They seem to have points to push, but are fully illiterate in construing what the person they’re responding to has said.

You are a self induced eunuch. You have earned the position of ‘house nigger’ among the cunt bearing elite. One wrong move though, and they will toss you right back into the slave quarters. In other words, your penis is on probation, and if you fuck up, it will be used against you. Meanwhile, go on and feel special. You’ve gotten yourself a pat of approval that most other penises don’t get, through your hard work of kissing ass and sycophancy.
