I remember many of those posts...Meta was still active. I just recognized the name, but couldn't put my finger on top of it.

Interesting reading. Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #1
I bet you'll find this one interesting. Bonobo Oct 2013 #2
That one is extremely transphobic. Behind the Aegis Oct 2013 #3
there is a lot of that, in that particular echo chamber. Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #4
I was absolutely astounded at the amount of HappyMe Oct 2013 #53
Indeed. Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #5
No, seriously. Here is the best blog. Bonobo Oct 2013 #6
how do they know the gender of the person plugging the search terms into google? Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #7
They specifically addressed that issue scientifically. Bonobo Oct 2013 #8
I suppose we should be thankful that the internet and free blogging platforms Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #9
.... ProudToBeBlueInRhody Oct 2013 #10
They owe me a hat-eating show LadyHawkAZ Oct 2013 #11
Oh, they'll claim you're only pretending to be female. Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #12
I suspect I turned into a man in some minds a long time ago LadyHawkAZ Oct 2013 #13
Some people take it WAY too seriously, I've noticed that. Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #14
Good to know I'm not the only one that sees this: opiate69 Oct 2013 #20
Nope, I notice it too. nt ProudToBeBlueInRhody Oct 2013 #22
I would bet that there is a HappyMe Oct 2013 #54
There are some sick, sad, pathetic people in the world LadyHawkAZ Oct 2013 #15
I read the t.v. one Doctor_J Oct 2013 #16
My God, the PIV on TV one is amazing ProudToBeBlueInRhody Oct 2013 #17
Wow, that writer's certainly a piece of work... Hayabusa Oct 2013 #19
That author must have had some sort of trauma. Doctor_J Oct 2013 #21
There has to be. Hayabusa Oct 2013 #23
... And having sex is like being in battle. lumberjack_jeff Oct 2013 #18
Like this? Bonobo Oct 2013 #24
Because I'm in a Spock kinda mood lately... opiate69 Oct 2013 #25
I'd pay real money Hayabusa Oct 2013 #26
that it just a whole barrowload of crazy right there. i hope to hell no one is dumb enough loli phabay Oct 2013 #63
"Our scientists predict in 5 years we will achieve total victory over the orgasm" Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #64
lol or invites them to their beds, it would be like sleeping with a black widow loli phabay Oct 2013 #65
I don't comment on other peoples' sex lives. Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #66
There is some truly jaw-dropping stuff out there. As insane in its own way as the worst MRA's. nomorenomore08 Oct 2013 #27
Interestingly enough those that use MRA as a pejorative are often the ones doing the linking Major Nikon Oct 2013 #28
I think that radfems are WAY closer to being a true "hate group". Bonobo Oct 2013 #29
Hate, bitterness. From my perspective, having learned a lot about mental health issues... Denninmi Oct 2013 #30
well said. n/t lumberjack_jeff Oct 2013 #37
I wouldn't say that. A lot of MRA types are pretty fucking hateful. nomorenomore08 Oct 2013 #31
Yep, tarring is bad. I'd like to see it stop. nt Bonobo Oct 2013 #32
So we're in agreement on that, anyway. nomorenomore08 Oct 2013 #33
Oh, I absolutely agree, they have a right to their views. Denninmi Oct 2013 #34
Yeah, the stuff in the OP is clearly over-the-top and delusional. No argument there. nomorenomore08 Oct 2013 #35
Perhaps, but MRAs lack the veneer of legitimacy that academia gives these people. lumberjack_jeff Oct 2013 #36
I basically agree with you here, and I wasn't referring to anyone on DU. nomorenomore08 Oct 2013 #42
Probably none. Who would want to be associated with such hateful transphobic people? Dash87 Oct 2013 #51
Good question. Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #55
Sheila Jeffreys has more academia acceptance than Dworkin ever had Major Nikon Oct 2013 #56
Why do I know that name? Behind the Aegis Oct 2013 #57
I haven't known her to write about anything other than rad-fem topics Major Nikon Oct 2013 #58
She was booted from RadFem 2012 for being a disgusting transphobe LadyHawkAZ Oct 2013 #59
I bet that was it! Behind the Aegis Oct 2013 #60
Actually, it was the entire "Radfem 2012" that got booted, from Conway Hall in London. Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #61
That was the one, thanks LadyHawkAZ Oct 2013 #62
I appreciate that you hang out in a lot of different groups, and try to be fair & even handed. Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #40
I agree that a lot of the accusations around here have been ridiculous, and unjust. nomorenomore08 Oct 2013 #41
I've done a few terms on MIRT, and I do think some of those MRA individuals have shown up here. Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #43
Both the hardline MRA's and the extremist radfems are essentially the fringe of the fringe. nomorenomore08 Oct 2013 #48
Here's my take on the whole "MRA" issue... opiate69 Oct 2013 #49
Oh hell yeah! Bonobo Oct 2013 #44
FWIW MadrasT Oct 2013 #45
Thanks. Seriously. Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #46
its not hate its fear and it's sad tillikum Oct 2013 #50
welcome to DU gopiscrap Oct 2013 #52
What do these women do when they encounter ... MicaelS Oct 2013 #38
My guess is that they are in many cases, shut-ins ProudToBeBlueInRhody Oct 2013 #39
Yeah, sort of like the most extreme fundamentalist Christians. Whether or not they're "shut-ins" nomorenomore08 Oct 2013 #47
