    Why is misogyny wrong?

    If you met enough Greeks, you should be able to state something about what they have in common without meeting all of them. A similar diet in a region is one such thing, for example. It's not bigoted. It has the appearance of bigotry, but a true bigot would refuse to lessen the severity of his...

    Why is misogyny wrong?

    Why can't misogyny be written off as a similar philosophical, sexual or emotional disappointment in women? Please note that in no way am I advocating physical abuse of women. As for emo-ness and grumpiness, are you implying that hatred should only be socially acceptable if the person seems...

    Why is misogyny wrong?

    I completely agree that just hating the arsonist is the rational decision, since hating all people from Detroit is a bad generalization stemming from one arsonist's behavior. Then why do most people argue that misanthropy is the rational choice? A misanthrope hates all people, including women...

    First Gulf War.

    Why is misogyny wrong?

    Why are misogynists often portrayed as wrong, even maligned, whereas misanthropists are considered cute or even philosophically-inclined? What's wrong with hating women, especially if someone doesn't like humanity in general? Women are just as ignorant as men, are selfish, prone to avarice...

    Who sows the wind...

    I wouldn't believe the Iranian propaganda, but there is actually strong precedent for accusing the US of meddling in Iran.

    The Case for Eugenics in a Nutshell

    He was on TV with his daughter once, and she seemed like a normal middle aged woman, not at all a genius, and with very common interests. She was responsible for getting Steven to help her write some physics books for early elementary-school-aged children, or something like that. I don't really...

    Alcohol Abstainers at higher risk of depression

    I don't care what that study says, drinking alcohol is a boring waste of time. The conversations are never interesting, the taste of beer is horrible and there is constant annoying pressure to conform to the activities of those people around you. Playing video games is a more rewarding...
