Hey, hostile visitors! Do you have an opinion about, for example, Mary Koss’ rape research? Do you want to discuss it even though the topic has not actually come up by itself in any of the threads and none of my recent posts really have much to do with the specifics of anyone’s rape research? Well, from now on you can discuss it here with anyone who wishes to follow you to this thread.
Added bonus: If you continue to try to discuss it in other threads you’ll be banned!
This also applies to future derailers riding hobbyhorses of their own having nothing to do with Koss.
Happy discussing!
Note: If you wish to discuss the topics at hand, you know, topics directly related to my posts and/or to what other people are discussing and that aren’t, you know, personal hobbyhorses of yours that involve long screeds and various things that you’ve probably already cut and pasted into the comments sections of various other websites until you were banned from them for endless derailing and general asswipery, feel free to remain in the original threads.
I feel like the only creature on earth with enough energy to maintain that kind of rargharglebarglerage for long is a kitten, and kittens don’t really do rage.
Random – this cat meows exactly the same way mine does, and mine is super fluffy with the neck ruff and the big tail too. But she’s tiny. Is it possible for some kind of weird genetic combination to result in a mini Maine Coon that’s tuxedo colored? When I got here they thought she might be a Maine Coon, but then she didn’t get much bigger.
I love Maine Coons and Norwegian Forest cats, they are big sweet babies. A friend of mine used to have (RIP) a 26 lb. Norwegian Forest Cat named Jesus.
I had to take Jesus to the vet once, and it was hilarious to hear the whole vet staff, vet included call him “Hay-sus.” I kept telling them the cat’s name was Jesus, just like it looked, but they weren’t having it.
Jesus’ very little brother was named Judas.
What a beautiful cat – such a pretty face.
“It must be so tiring, maintaining yourself in a constant state of frothing rage and indignation. I wonder how much he spends per month on coffee.”
Just think, he could plug himself into a coffee machine and have mega-frothy cappuccino without the bother of learning how to get it right.
Are the Norwegian cats are soft as Maine Coons? They’re so pretty.
The other reason I wonder if she really is Maine Coon and just weirdly runty is that the chirping seems to be a thing with them, She hardly ever meows like a normal cat, but she chirps and sort of whines all the time. First night I got her I thought there was a small, lost dog outside because I’d never heard a cat make that noise before, almost like barking really softly.
A human milk foamer! Just think, he will always be able to find work. They can stick him in the corner and he can mutter angrily at the customers, who won’t be able to hear him over the hissing from the espresso machine.
Biscuit chirps as his main mode of communication, and he’s about as far from an Maine Coon as you can get. I think he’s going to be a runty orange baby.
NFCs are super soft. Not as bushy as Maine Coons, but still long haired.
Could she be a Maine Coon cross?
I’m trying to remember if any of our cats have meowed, and I don’t think they have. They’ve either trilled, managed to force out the barest squeak with maximum effort, or had piercing yowly voices. Sometimes one cat has done all three.
Check it out, she’s budget Maru.
NFCs have the most amazing bushy tails. Never seen one in person but the photos in the cat books, cor! They were doubtless blow-waved for the pic, but you’ve got to have the material to work with. 🙂
I’m guessing she must be a cross. The ruff is really pronounced, but she’s so tiny. 10.6 pounds, but not really adult cat sized, and not fat, she’s just super strong and sort of…solid? Every time I tell people how much she weighs they don’t believe me.
The way Luna tucked herself around then made me think she’s been watching kangaroo joeys! She’s so pretty.
This is Maddie’s idea of invisibility:

Cassandra, your cat looks a lot like my Meg. She’s a lot bigger than she looks.
BTW, for cat people, you have to see this book (and the pics in it). Tiny, eyeless cat who saved his person from an intruder who broke into her apartment at night. All 4 pounds of him, and totally blind.

There’s some dust in my eye, or something.
I might just make that book the first I buy for Kindle. (Haven’t got a Kindle yet, but this is a good prompt!)
Here he is!
A friend of a friend in New Orleans found a little one-eyed kitten abandoned in his neighborhood and took her in. Wink is now happy and healthy and totally fucking adorable.
That indoor eye grit is the worst.

Someone come and mop me up
GNL: Nope. I’m pulling shit from thin air, and claiming that you will either make my point for me or that you will actually hold the postion of a straw feminist (making it a real feminist not a straw one)
So heads you win, tails we lose? GNL can never be wrong, only willfully misunderstood?
Who is the person with the cognitive failure here?
Again, I challenge you to find an inconsistency in my beliefs. Go to town.
And Cassandra, there are moderate MRA’s.
Where?
As to your, “strawfeminist”. You are right, it’s a straw feminist; no one believes in “a male only system that beneifits all men to insure that no male ever suffers”.
But that doesn’t refute that sexism against men doesn’t exist.
Sexism (as opposed to personal bigotry) requires that there be a system to oppress. There is no system to oppress men.
Ergo your strawman is defeated, and the original argument stands.
Logic, ur doin’ it rong!
But, since you happen to think sexism against women is right, and (using your oddball definition of sexism) that it is also right to be sexist against men, the only real question is what is the proper balance of sexisms to make everyone happy.
Oh look, there’s more grit.
