Like ebola!
Welcome to the Pit. This is not where we bring data to bear in our arguments. That, ostensibly, happens elsewhere. And the absolute last thing I’m going to do is count your fucking haikus. No scratch that, the absolute last thing I’m going to do is act as though we’re debating feminism.
LK’s at it again. Some gems from his current thread.
Look, freakshow, you are really conflating a few things here. I don’t even know how you managed to pull these two thought streams together, but you did. Congrats.
…and this one didn’t happen, which was mentioned in the thread itself.
- cite and 2) damnit I’m sure I can hear my blood vessels rupturing. I know there’s absolutely NO fucking point in explaining to him that women are not interested in STEM because they are bad at it (or something, weird reasoning there)
My emphasis. And what the fuck?! The driving force against ANY domestic violence is that it’s abhorrent and wrong. LK now has this packaged as if women are causing domestic violence.
His denouement:
I think he’s unbalanced. Each time he posts a thread he gets more and more out there. This isn’t a conversation about feminism. This is a conversation about putting women back in their place.
Is it just me, or does that phrase “they’ll only stop when they are stopped” cause a bit of a chill?
Unbalanced…
Likely intentional. A lot of misogynists like to flirt with vaguely creepy-sounding or darkly dire phrasing, hoping that somebody will challenge them on it so they can act all shocked and butthurt at the very idea that they might have been trying to imply any kind of physical intimidation or threat.
Yes, I thought the same thing. He’s playing it up on purpose.
But still, he gets more and more out there with each new thread. Deliberately lying about child custody laws in the last thread, and ignoring other lawyers calling him out on it? He’s broken. I really hope he’s not still actively practicing law.
If you rate people by their wealth, that’s your problem. I never claimed to be wealthy, by anybody’s measure, and attempting to insult someone by your standards is unlikely to have any impact on someone who measures themselves by their own. If you had any artistic talent, you’d be aware that there are plenty of ‘fringe benefits’
The issue was one of ‘ability to communicate’ - that is, Moody Moddy Miller had brazenly asserted as ‘fact’ his woefully ignorant opinion that I can’t communicate (from which we only learn that MMMiller has no understanding of communication). Paying audiences disagree with a random internet user with an axe to grind…hold the front page!
But hey, feminists and thinking, what can you do…
I know, I’ve seen your posts in the feminism threads.
Increasingly so. I imagine hanging out at MRA sites in a state of constant outrage would do that to a person.
Do we have any particular reason to believe he ever did practice law? LinusK wasn’t really on my radar before he became obsessed with the evils of feminism, but I don’t remember him being in the habit of showing up in threads on legal issues to make informed-sounding posts. That I don’t remember this doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, but I can easily think of other posters who don’t just claim to be lawyers but have made an impression on me as people who actually know something about the law.
If nothing else I’d expect someone who managed to get through law school to be able to comprehend the meaning of reports and articles written for the general public and form a coherent argument in support of his own views, and LinusK has demonstrated repeatedly that he can’t do either.
I don’t know him or any posters personally, but I remembered reading it somewhere a few months ago (I like to read the lawyers who post here):
He started a thread last year asking if he should go to grad school for economics because he wasn’t happy practicing law:
He’s also answered some legal questions in a few threads. And he wasn’t always an anti-feminist, apparently:
Butter-scented hormones in vaginal secretions allow women to control men’s minds.
Before you know it, we’ll be lathering the stuff on men’s toast.
Brilliantly and hilariously dissected at the We Hunted the Mammoth blog.
Baby powder and we’re airborne! I plan to enslave numerous men and put them to work as house elves.
I have been doing it all wrong.
Feminist. Duh.
That’s a fun blog, thanks for linking to it, Kimstu.
Wow. I learned so much from that article. I think I’m just as attracted to actual butter as the butter-scented vagina gas though. Could explain a great deal in my marriage. Could be a delicious new fetish for us too.
Okay, butter-scented vagina gas wins all kinds of prizes.
