Atheist Zone 7 years, 10 months agoMen ask why women are so pissed off. Even guys with wives and daughters.
Jackson Katz, a prominent social researcher, illustrates why. He’s done it with hundreds of audiences.“I draw a line down the middle of a chalkboard, sketching a male symbol on one side and a female symbol on the other.
Then I ask just the men: What steps do you guys take,…[Read more]

I’m always shocked when I find out what women have to go through from random men on a routine basis.

Yes, we feel targeted from the day we’re born, pretty much.

Hi Jade, can I quote you on my web page on Patriarchy?

Of course! Its the truth.

I’ve put the quote just underneath the video near the bottom of the page. What do you think of the video? Do you think it’s appropriate?

Yes, its fine, & I did not like the video at all.

Good points, thanks for your thoughtful reply, and personal perspective.

Yes, that was all over our news.
Denial of women’s issues is still a huge problem.

Its not just women. Men within the lgtbq+ community often face sexual harassment, assault, stalking, domestic violence and general objectification from other lgrbq+
The worst response to this is to deny it happens. The second worst response is “you are attacking me and accusing me of being a rapist when you point out its prevalence amongst l…[Read more]

Jade.. extremely nice method for opening up the eyes of those who don’t know about fear and abuse…nor see, experience but are prone to deny, underestimate or downplay the abuse. Thanks for sharing.

Men comprise by far the majority of the criminal population. I personally believe it’s “natural” (via evolution) for men to be more aggresive, and that’s why we see so many chauvanistic men revolt against the changing times. Even some women believe they’re put on earth to please men.
If my assessment of humanity sound insensitive, it’s because I…[Read more]

Big changes are needed, & that includes male dominant religions, workplaces, etc.

Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 7 years, 11 months agoPB, scifi fans have wondrously productive imaginations.
AI’s taking over the universe is a stretch. Its making a repeating big bang rips the “fabric” to shreds little larger than molecules.-
Indeed it’s a stretch, but I can’t rule out that several billion years of AI wouldn’t trump it.
On a related topic–but yeah, a tangent… similar to Fermi’s Paradox, we might ask why we’ve not yet seen evidence of alien AI. IMO, the technology to *widely* propagate self-assembling AI bots would be infinitely more feasible than the glossy-eyed…[Read more]

Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 7 years, 11 months agoA related post from a few years ago:
http://www.thinkatheist.com/profiles/blogs/cosmological-natural-selection-cnsMy long story short, assume AI ultimately takes over the universe, and devises a way to make a big bang repeat in a way that increases the chances of intelligent life evolving, perhaps even sooner than it did in this universe.

Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 7 years, 11 months agoHere’s an interesting Facebook post from just now by Steve Taylor, “transpersonal psychologist” (and psychology professor at Manchester University). You may or may not find him slightly out there: I prefer the term “speculative”.
I’ve been doing a lot of reading about evolution over the last few days (for an article I’m writing) and have learned…
