When do you think that they'll figure out that this whole practising the opposite of what they preach business, discredits their complete parody of a movement?

Pretty sure she was pretending to be asleep while he grabbed her jugglies.
Who is Allahpundit?
Why is he still a secret?
Is it Bryan or Ian?
Or someone else?
Don’t you think it’s weird that Allahpundit is still unknown?
HedgeZero writers were named, so?
Cool story, bro
Who cares? It's just a link to the WaPo article. The point OP is making is in regards to the WaPo whacko.
Paglia and Peterson
Interesting discussion
Near the end Peterson says, paraphrase, “I can’t fight women like I can fight men, therefore sane women have to tell crazy women feminists to knock it off”
Some men going their own way.
Title
what happened to men and women
Yesterday when the picture came out I posted here that Franken should resign, having just also read the the hints dropping about a second woman who was about to come forward. When it turned out that woman's "harassment" story was that he called her up to continue an argument they had had as guests ona political old talk show, and after I read Franken's apology statement and the first accuser's response, I feel I stand corrected and he should not resign.
That article, though. The writer doesn't need him to resign, no no! That would be extreme! She only needs him to go on a big feminist vision quest across the state of Minnesota so he can become a woman's advocate until 2020, and THEN give up his seat! Uh... okay?
If feminism really just meant equal rights and respect for all, I'd be happy to call myself a male feminist. I can't claim to know what every single self-identified feminist believes, but the loudest voices are not for equality. The loudest voices, such as the writer of this article, say among other insane things that this Franken picture is proof that we live in a "culture of rape." Words need to mean something, and the word "rape" refers to a very serious crime. Something called a "culture of rape" can't just be whatever you want it to mean, and it can't entail dumb jokes and pictures like Franken's. It really has to claim that we have a pervasive culture that looks the other way with regard to very serious misconduct. What we probably do have is a "culture of boorishness" but that can be more easily fixed than a "culture of rape" so the feminists use the terms that sounds like it's more of a problem, a problem so serious that we need continued (really, permanent) guidance from extreme feminist academics.
In short, OP, you're right. Modern feminism is hard to take seriously. Honestly, I don't think the movement has ever recovered from winning it's original battle for equal status before the law. Now all they can do is go around to people's houses and demand they lose their sense of humor and so forth. The fractured nature of the movement into hundreds of kinds of "(insert adjective here) feminism" doesn't help either.

You have some really great thoughts.
From the video I posted above.
Peterson: “We are living in the delusional fantasy of a naive 13 year old girl. That’s our culture.”
Paglia: “Telling women and girls to be responsible is “reactionary”, what? That response is terrible for feminist.”
Paglia: “In colleges we have troubled fragile girls that were raised by old parents, no siblings and they are timid. Working class young women with a husband and children are braver and bolder than college girls.”
Paglia: “today’s Stalinist interrogations on University campuses over dates and dating. We have feminists running to a University power structure of Men for protection.”
Peterson: “Apparentlly the Patriarchy (power and control) is fine, if Women run it and control it. What?”
Many great quotes and observations in the video posted above.
But don’t forget Liberals want Capitalism to make a very Robust and strong economy, but then have it handed over to the Socialists and Communists, liberals are Crazy people.
But don’t forget, Van Jones, Rich White Men are ok but take all their money $ and give it to the Native Indian Americans and the Blacks. Liberals are Crazy.
