Re: Prostitution

[kaijinscendre]

I can provide. I said I was reading, "The War Against Boys" (hey the title intrigued me and it was in the New section of the library).

I am assuming this is the same anon who told me, "That sounds like bullshit MRA drivel. Put that fucking book in the fire right goddamned now. seriously. stop. you're better than this."

I responded, "How about you go kindly fuck off. :) Just because a book focuses on things boys suffer from, it doesn't mean it is MRA drivel." Because I am not going to stop reading a book because of someone like that. As a matter of fact, it makes me more likely to read the book out of spite (I was probably going to return the book unfinished, because I should be getting House of Leaves tomorrow).

Well, it is MRA drivel partly because the conclusion that public education is anti-male just isn't strongly supported, and there's a fair bit of gender essentialism behind the different learning styles argument. But that's largely from reading the primary research regarding gender differences in the American school system. Read it with a few grains of salt.

The 'learning styles' thing annoys the shit out of me because as I've heard them described, my learning style is the 'boy' kind.

NAYRT

The War Against Boys? Really? I'm kinda agreeing with anon a bit.

Re: Prostitution

[(Anonymous)]

seriously?

you're going to get at someone for reading something that you disagree with, and not immediately chucking it into the flames because it's from a (admittedly awful, dumb, and wrong) political viewpoint you disagree with?

MRAs are stupid as fuck. that doesn't mean that reading something written by MRAs (or even agreeing with something they said) is a personal fault or something to be avoided at all costs. is that really what we're doing now? saying that it's morally unaccpetable to read things from people we disagree with?

Hey, book burning can never go wrong.

Can I just say it's totally possible to read something, enjoy it, and disagree with it entirely (or even just in part). In fact that's pretty much how you make informed opinions. It's also a good idea, when you identify with a particular "side", to know your enemy's argument.
