I wanted to give a huge shout out to the two women in the Just Us! On Spring Garden Rd who were getting the young boy they were with (probably 2 yrs old or so) to say misogynistic comments about women and then laughing at him. Thank you for teaching your son that it’s funny to say degrading things to women, I’m sure he’ll grow up with these beliefs and practice them on the women around him. —Everyday feminist

BWA HA HA HA HA HA – SOOOO FRIGGING PERFECT that this happened at Just Us. >: )
Let me guess, OP. You were seething with such healing fymynyst rage that you spilled half your low-fat, no-foam , Ethiopian roast soy latte all over your “Boys Are Stupid, Let’s Throw Knives At Them” tank top.

AVERSION THERAPY
Clearly, the two women were hoping to “cure” the young boy of misogynistic behaviour by laughing at him when he said degrading things about women. This, of course, is just standard aversion therapy. The danger here is that his verbal misogyny might take root with the result that he becomes a full-blown misogynist which was never the women’s intention. But what does all this mean?
It means that proper learning is never the outcome of behaviouristic conditioning as with such aversion therapy but rather the result of the cultivation of rational, cognitive understanding. In other words proper learning is conceptually connected with the reflective mind, never with unreflective coerced emotion.
A pleasure as always,
Cheerio!
Recruiters!
The mind boggles. I’m having a hard time imagining the misogynistic comments that the two ‘ladies” would have been getting the young lad to parrot, OB. Can you give us a few examples?
I’m not doubting you whatsoever. I’m simply curious as to what sort of thing they would be getting him to say in a public place – especially a Just Us cafe.
On a related note of mind bogglement, Hugo does a tongue-in-cheek parody that takes the mickey out of Jay-Z’s “99 Problems”:
Hugo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKfBCarK9g4
Jay-z original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0kF71EaRfI
WALDO’S PARODY?
Can you paraphrase it? I don’t open attachments – I think that if someone wants to say something then they, um, should say it – but Waldo never struck me as anyone who could do a tongue-in-cheek parody of anything. Parody requires a modicum of intelligence and Waldo clearly failed the smell test.
A pleasure as always,
Cheerio!
It’s never too early to get your son ready for a possible recruitment into I.S.I.L. These ladies are trying to get their boy ahead of the curve.
I think OP is jealous of these women for having children in a happy healthy relationship. So much internet rage bile is spewed by these keyboard warrior feminists, nobody really wants anything to do with them.
mm,
The links are to songs by pop musicians. One of them is a relatively obscure fellow named Hugo and the other is a famous rap singer named Jay-Z. I’m not sure who Waldo is!?
For your interest, below are the lyrics to Jay-Z’s rap song. It’s not my style of music but I have to admit the lyrics are quite clever. The singer is an American black man who claims to have grown up in poverty but is now disgusted with all of the people (producers, advertisers, etc) who are lining up to profit from his success.
You have to read the song with a da-da—dee-da—dee-da beat in your head:
***99 Problems***
If you’re having girl problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain’t one
I got the rap patrol on the gat patrol
Foes that wanna make sure my casket’s closed

I’m from the hood stupid what type of facts are those

I got 99 problems but a bitch ain’t one

A nigga like myself had to strong arm a hoe
This is not a hoe in the sense of having a pussy
But a pussy having no God Damn sense, try and push me
I tried to ignore him and talk to the Lord
Pray for him, cause some fools just love to perform
You know the type loud as a motor bike
But wouldn’t bust a grape in a fruit fight
The only thing that’s gonna happen is i’mma get to clapping
He and his boys gon’ be yapping to the captain
And there I go trapped in the kit kat again
Back through the system with the riff raff again
Fiends on the floor scratching again
Paparazzi’s with they cameras snapping them
D.A. tried to give the nigga the shaft again
Half-a-mil for bail cause I’m African
All because this fool was harrassin’ them
Trying to play the boy like hes saccarin

Hit me
99 Problems but a bitch ain’t one
If you having girl problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain’t one

I would like to know the exact nature of the comments.
Were they truly vile, as in getting the unknowing little tot to spout obscenities, or were they “offensive” according to very specific sensibilities, such as “You are a pretty girl and I would like to marry you.” (Note use of “pretty” “girl” and “marry,” implying the existence of a stereotypical gender binary/artificial social construct and obsolete institution of property ownership.)
More information is needed.
I’m a feminist, and I don’t know what women are thinking. Your a feminist OP and you don’t know what men are thinking.
Obsess about something healthier more often.

Sorry. “Waldo” refers to my name for the late, unlamented Hugo Phurst, a real dog in the manger. However, I read the song with a da-da—dee-da beat and it was sublime.
A pleasure as always
Cheerio!

Oooh! What’s mine MM?
^^^ You may have missed your nickname HF because mm’s post was promptly deleted. He referred to you by a term that is currently regarded as socially unacceptable. It was formerly used to refer to people with a learning disability but also as a type of insult. Ironically, that term was accurate in its original use since those afflicted with the syndrome suffer from a memory deficiency that causes their learning to be delayed to varying degrees – depending on the individual.
On another note, any guesses as to who has had the most deleted posts? Have any of you kept track of your own count?
Having posts deleted by the Commissar is like killing walkers, Eggman. After the first couple of dozen, it ceases to have meaning.

Egghead (03/03, 12:02PM)
You’re right but the irony is that HF used the same term, perhaps jokingly as we all know what an incredible sense of humour he has. But your description is bang on. The question of course is how did you pick it up so quickly. Did it disappear before you very eyes or is there some further, unannounced and possibly nefarious explanation?
I must, however, disagree with Boris as, in my view, to suffer a deletion is tantamount to suffering what the French call “un petit mort” i.e., “a little death” which may, on occasion, be quite enjoyable but not on this one.
A, um, pleasure as always,
Cheerio!
^^^ on the main LTWWB page there is a “Recent comments” section on the right hand side. Your comment regarding Hing Frogg’s nickname was at the top of that list but by the time I clicked on it to read the full post it had already been deleted.
However, I wonder if those who subscribed to this thread may have received it in their e-mail before it was deleted from the website. Can someone who subscribed verify this? I’m curious as to whether there is a delay between when messages are posted and when they are sent to subscribers.
On further consideration I suspect that posts are most often deleted due to a complaint to the moderator. I say that because I’ve witnessed the deletion of a few posts that only contained a few words (making it obvious what word was deemed offensive) only to see the same word appear in another post. So, either the mod didn’t notice the subsequent appearance of the word or none of the public noticed and complained about it. I suspect the latter to be true.
I think it’s half and half. I’m sure that the Commissar acts on her own initiative to purge comments that meet her own elastic standards of thoughtcrime. But she will also exercise a certain noblesse oblige; responding to complaints that she agrees with and ignoring those which she does not.

Ivan, shouldn’t we be using the correct term “Der Kommissar?”
Personally, Angel, I wouldn’t , as that would grant her a benign Eurotrash campiness that she doesn’t warrant and a pop-culture relevance which she has not earned.
I leave it to the personal preference of each regular who wishes to use that particular benediction.
Well, a few years ago (under a different alias) I had suggested that we go with “Maude,” but that didn’t seem to stick.
“Maude” was actually the nom de guerre of the moderator when I made my debut here. She was great, even met her once when I worked downtown. Lovely person. She lost her job during one of The Scrote’s periodic purges of Trotskyites, Fascists, Wreckers and Enemies of the People. It just never seemed right to re-brand her successors with a name she had made her own.

Egghead (03/03, 2:54PM & 3:07PM)
Yes, the “Recent Comments” section on the right of the main page is the standard point of departure for replies to one’s own posts if required. Anyway, there is a triple irony here: (1) HF used the term in one of his previous comments, no doubt humorously, to refer to all of us, (2) My nickname for him was intended in the same way and (3) If it was reported to the Mod it was done so by a poster who thought it referred to her – she indicated such in a reply to me – but, as I told her in a reply, it didn’t. Complexity here sufficient for a Shakespearean drama.
Boris’ comment to the effect that the Mod may exercise a certain noblesse oblige only adds another layer of delicious psychological complexity.
A pleasure as always,
Cheerio!
First of all, I’d like to point out your assumption that because I am a feminist, I am a woman. Seriously? People like you are the reason I posted this bitch in the first place. I hope you get your enjoyment for the day in responding to this bitch, I’m going to go live my life now.
Peace
OB, it’s great that you support feminism but I question your need to tell everyone that you are a male feminist. Why not just live the principles you feel are important?
The only other guy I know of who would call himself a feminist is a bit of a creep and, in my mind, a fraud. He uses his “sensitivity” as a way to endear himself to attractive women and seems to have done quite well with this schtick – if you know what I mean. So now, I can’t help but roll my eyes when a dude feels the need to proclaim himself as being a sensitive feminist guy. It smacks of self-promotion.
So, by all means, be a decent guy. Treat women well. But drop the feminist schtick.
