The amount of over 40 women posting memes on my FB page for my birthday is somewhat disturbing.

Also Alaka called. I want to call her back but I'm also terrified.
---

Why terrified?

I applaud them for finally being honest and owning up to what we all know has been happening all along.
---

Man if I stopped getting lots of recommendations for anti-SJW and Prager U videos I would be happy. But I doubt that will happen.

Nice fuel for their fires though.
---

dont worry ill manually share prager U videos with you on facebook
---

I'll watch Prager U if you go to a Houston club with me
---

lets compromise

strip club
---

That's not a compromise, that's a normal place for you... Not totally opposed though. As long as it has good music.

I actually haven't been in over a year.

Music is usually girl's choice, so I guess you have to find a club where the demographics of the girls match what you think will result in music you like.

So a strip club with 45 year old gay black dudes

Australia bans the construction of a synagogue because they don't think the owners will be able to take sufficient measures to stop Muslims from blowing it up, which would endanger the community.

Just build it next to a church so God will protect it

Small racist brain: Muslims are terrorists
Expanded racist brain: You can't build a synagogue
Cosmic racist brain: You can't build a synagogue because Muslims are terrorists

You realize Trump is a TV celebrity?

I'm more surprised that his campaign had the foresight to say "Actually he might run for President for real so maybe we shouldn't do this."

No. Deliberately misrepresenting someone's statement is a terrible idea no matter who it is.
---

muffin complaining about someone deliberately misrepreseting someone else's statement is pretty ironic tho.

So I'm hanging out in this camgirl room and some dude named "Icehawk2006" starts throwing money around.

Can't be, right? No way our Icehawk has money.
---

He definitely has money and was also born in 2006

What sort of b8 code can I drop the next time I see him to let him know I know who he is

(and the cool part is my name there is different so he wont know its me)
---

ask him when the boardys are starting
---

Just talked on the phone with Hilary for 20 minutes!
---

---

I also talked with Alaka for like 40 though and it was fine.

i ran into a guy named Icehawkhero trolling The Barrens chat in 2006 in WoW and it turned out to really be him. So this is probably actually him.

Cantwell's response to this is that it does not meet the standards of SPLC because it is "entirely too accurate"

Probably gonna be in houston then

he thought Google’s low female representation wasn’t a result of sexism, but a result of men and women having different interests long before either gender thinks about joining Google

The absolutism on stuff like this is so dumb. Of course girls are turned off from tech from the day they are born, decades before they could be hired by Google. But why in the world does that preclude sexism for being a reason? Why can't it be sexism at an extremely early age that causes this?

This isn't just straw-grasping speculation. It literally explains every single question SSC poses in that post. He goes through the timeline from college, high school, middle school, elementary, pointing out that the gender imbalances are all there. But why does he just stop at elementary? He stops so close to the answer that it seems intentional. Like he discovered that the social pressure starts before elementary, and was just too embarrassed to admit it. It also explains why other cultures (India) have ~50% women in tech.
---

How did you reach that conclusion? He did go back before elementary, just not in a school setting, because there's no data there. He explicitly talks about interests in a home setting when it comes to young children, and even provides a biological basis from which they stem. If you want to point out why those biological indicators don't say what he says they do, fine, but right now you're just dismissing that argument in favor of "I feel this way."
---

The 125 person study? That's what I'm talking about, he just doesn't go far at all in his evidence and logic. How could you possibly be satisfied scientifically with a single study of such a small sample size like that, when there are examples of millions of people (pre-80s US women and modern Indian women) that go unexplained?

He's at least not making stuff up, but it still feels like a disingenuous conclusion.

using small sample sizes is often done in science. ien ang bases her entire book watching dallas on nothing but a handful of letters of dallas fans, for instance.

but that works because her premise is just "here's a bunch of different kinds of dallas fans that exist." obviously it's a fucking stupid thing to do when you're trying to prove a stance like "here are fundamental biological differences between men and women."

I AM interested in more studies about that disorder though, wonder what they show
