It's kind of ridiculous that because a woman isn't a super-activist the implication is that her opinions about being treated badly can be dismissed. So no, I don't actually think it's cutting through any bullshit. I think the bullshit is still fairly thick in here.

It reminds me of when some gay guys wanted to have some say about who they were roomed with in dorms because they were frequently stuck in a tight space with bigot assholes. The argument was made that they should instead take the opportunity to educate bigots about homosexuality. An excellent response was "I'm not an activist. I don't want to be an activist. Not every gay person wants to be one. I'm trying to focus on getting an education."

I keep finding myself listening to podcasts that I wouldn't otherwise have listened to because someone mentioned here how obnoxious Stephanie was, or how obsessive she was on a certain subject, and I have yet to feel it. Yeah, she's a bit knee-jerk about some things that seem minor now and then but I just... don't... get... the RAGING.


In case you missed it, the issue was that woman A really had something to be pissed about and woman B was a whiner, much like Stephanie.  You can call pointing that out "raging" if you want, but I think that's bullshit too.

I liked what she had to say. I can't recall if she's also the one who said "feminism" is a bad word to use when what you're really talking about is gender disparity, which goes both ways on different issues. I might call into Stephanie's show to talk about it.

The truth about women abusing men

The double-standard addressed in that video is real but I don't think they exactly handled it very objectively. The very short clip of the man attacking the woman showed him grabbing her by the throat and her looking terrified for her life. I just see the woman kind of slapping the man and he seems bored and not threatened at all. I think if they'd tried harder to make the situations comparable, we still would have seen the disparity they're talking about but it might not have made for as dramatic of a contrast as they had hoped for for a good show.

A long time ago I shared a duplex with a couple next door. They argued often but one night I heard a lot of banging & crashing.. so I called the guy and asked him to come out and have a smoke with me. Once outside he cooled off a bit and I told him I hoped he hadn't been smackin his ol lady around.... turned out the smacks I'd heard were her hitting him.

The people in the video all laughed and said they figured the guy had cheated on the lady. Does that mean it's OK for a woman to be beaten if she cheats? Cause ladies cheatin is pretty ordinary these days.

Also, I laughed at the guy getting hit on the bench. Not so much at the gender violence but because the actors looked perfect for the part.. Geek vs. Fire-Womyn.

If I would've seen that chick smacking that dude on the park bench, I would just keep walking too. I figure if he's stupid enough to sit there and take it, he doesn't deserve my intervention.

I would feel the same way if the roles were reversed.

Now if the victim was trying to flee the situation, thats a different story.

I couldn't care less about some "stockholm syndrome" bullshit excuse either. Thats your own weird thing. Deal with it, or suffer.

In this episode of Porc Therapy Stephanie and Dale discuss BDSM in a extra end thingy. I think they come off as collectivising and judgmental.
My take:
1. A perceived kink doesn't indicate childhood trauma every time.
2. It doesn't indicate some deep, need-to-be-solved problem either.
If you listen to that, listen to this afterwords it will make you feel better.

So has Stephanie or FTL responded to market demands?

No. Mark doesn't love you. He just wants you to listen to his ads and give him money.
