Steven Pinker, Sam Harris, and the epidemic of annoying white male intellectuals – Pinker can’t take even mild criticism and Harris choose to die on the hill of defending a racist who cloaks his racism in “science.” As well as Jerry Coyne, Michael Shermer, and the whole annoying lot of them who fancy themselves to be so much more important, interesting, and special than they actually are.
Educated women, but at what cost? – The amazing Katie Anthony on men feeling emasculated by women with a higher education level: “You seriously gonna spend your one wild and precious life trying to “marry down” and then become the human electric fence on your wife’s life? So you feel better than at least one person? Honey. Get some fucking therapy.”
Cosplayer dresses up as Joker, angry men yell at her for “appropriating gamer culture” – That’s….not how that works.
That “educated women” post is glorious. GLO. RI. OUS. And I just finished reading “The Calculating Stars” where the brilliant protagonist “Lady Astronaut” has a beautiful relationship with her engineer husband who ADORES and supports her even though her mathematical skills far outstrip his.
Everything I’ve read from male intellectuals has convinced me we need to annoy them more, so I’m all for this epidemic.
These white male intellectuals make a lot of money by being annoying. Why would they stop? It’s their schtick.
