Actual Irony

[demonista]

So a certain someone (if you can guess who, you win a nice vegan chocolate cookie) is berating me for being ironic, hypocritical, mean, and antifeminist for simply calling some people's beliefs stupid. Yes I did refer to their beliefs as "the stupid"--but I was saying that to her and her supporters, of which at least 40% are MALE--so how is my use

Oh, Christ, RE. I'm impressed that you managed to tolerate her that long. She's a worthless waste of space, and pretentious to boot. Some serious issues with other women---any woman who disagrees with her choices and her self-selecting memory.

[demonista]

I don't know how I do it, frankly. It's such a drain, putting up with her and her cronies. Self-selective memory INDEED.

[ginmar]

Yeah, the comments defending her range the gamut from lying to untruthful. Fascinating. Blinded little buggers, aren't they?

[miz_evolution]

this from a woman who flat out lied about how I got my nose broken to suit her own agenda? That's rich.

[miz_evolution]

i said it was degrading, not misogynistic.

[demonista]

i hear back pedalling. and i smell this stench of hypocrisy, ren.

[miz_evolution]

no, what you smell is me clarifying what I actually said, D. I said it was degrading. Look for yourself if your memory is unclear on the matter. Degrading does not automatically equal misogynistic...

And as I've said before, I don't speak for my friends, nor they for me, and, oddly enough, I never claimed that I don't say mean or degrading things to people...because sure enough, I do...however, why yes, I do find it ironic when people who are all YAY FEMINISM EMPOWERMENT UP WITH WOMEN not being degraded (at least not sexually or what have you) then use degrading language towards women themselves. I mean gin's little worthless waste of space line there is pretty charming too...but I expect that kind of shit from her. She's got as much of the asshole gene as I do.

[demonista]

I wasn't saying the misogynist part was, I was saying that you publishing a comment calling me "so stupid" is hypocritical. So it's not degrading when your friends do it, then?

I find it somewhat whimsical that you, demonista, call out for a "debate" and then pick and choose who will be allowed to appear in your comments. If you are to have a debate, then all parties should be heard.

Have you taken a second to look at the people that Ren graciously allows to post? Like Byrdeye? This guy is the lowest form of low. Not only does he spew the MRA garbage, but he's a major anti-semite; yet she allows him to post. And she engages him to boot.

Can you say the same? Or do you cherry pick the commenter that you are comfortable with? This reminds me of an old quote:

"If you want to feel good, surround yourself with people that agree with you. If you want to grow, find people that disagree with you"

What are you afraid of?

Outis

[demonista]

when did i say i wanted a debate re: the sex industry? when? find me an example of me calling for debate with me over the sex industry, and i'll kiss your ass.

i don't want a "debate" with assholes.

probably 90% of the comments i get, i unscreen. that's hardly "cherry picking" dumbass. that is hardly me afraid...

Laurelin's unsolicited advice for the day :)

[laurelinrain]

Don't let anyone guilt you over your comments policy. They act as if they have a right to have their comments published at your place. They don't. If they need attention so badly, they can try and get it from readers of their own blogs. I personally don't think that allowing vile, misgoynistic, racist (etc.) comments is a good thing- although I get that other bloggers have their own ideas about what is appropriate, and perhaps have different aims in blogging.

I suggest we set phasers to Ignore! (yeah, I know, easier typed than done, huh? :) )

Sounds like a great advice, Laurelin! :)
