Three Links to Destroy Your Faith in Humanity
Seriously, if you’re feeling depressed, don’t read these.
1) Hunter Moore’s ‘Scary as Shit’ Revenge Porn Site Will Map Submitted Photos to People’s Addresses
Remember the guy behind the revenge porn site Is Anyone Up, which enabled assholes to post nude pictures of their exes for a worldwide audience to see? That site’s down, but he’s got a new one about to go up, with a new feature:
Scorned lovers who submit photos of their exes for revenge can now also enable others to physically stalk them by including their addresses along with the photos. HunterMoore.TV will then display the photos on a map. …
“We’re gonna introduce the mapping stuff so you can stalk people,” Mr. Moore gleefully told Betabeat, adding, “I know–it’s scary as shit.”

2) Creepy ‘Love Surgery’ Performed on New Moms’ Unwitting Vaginas
This isn’t a new story, but Jezebel’s Erin Gloria Ryan has written a horrifying overview of the case of Dr. James C. Burt, a gynecologist who maimed countless women by performing weird, unnecessary, and often quite damaging “vagina tightening” surgery on them without their knowledge or consent over the course of several decades.
Burt’s “Love Surgery” was based on the doctor’s cockamamie idea that women are “structurally inadequate for intercourse” and that the only way to fix their “pathological condition” was through surgery that made the vagina and vulva more penis friendly. He also believed that Love Surgery would turn women into “horny little mice.” In his 1975 book, entitled “Surgery of Love,” Burt … says that “hundreds and hundreds” of women were treated this way, but other sources estimate that the number is actually in the thousands. …
In his tireless efforts to make women more fuckable, he actually ended up causing his patients serious, irreversible damage.
Perhaps most astonishing:
[O]ther doctors and medical professionals knew what Dr. Burt was up to, but did nothing. St. Elizabeth Hospital in Dayton, Ohio, where Dr. Burt practiced, didn’t require medical consent forms for the procedure for the first 12 years it was being performed.
3) When “Men’s Rights” Narratives Kill
Amanda Marcotte writes about a sad story related to Slate’s Dear Prudence in which a man stalked and killed his ex and one of her children – after being alerted to her location by a sympathetic friend, who is now “haunted” by this terrible mistake and its horrifying consequences. As Marcotte notes,
The so-called “men’s rights” movement is very intent on convincing the public that domestic violence is overblown by feminists, and that many to most victims are lying to the police and the courts, who take them at their word because the justice system is supposedly in the thrall of the all-powerful feminist regime. This narrative tends to have a lot of power, because it feeds off long-standing stereotypes of women as deceitful, manipulative gold diggers. Unfortunately, the widespread credulity for anti-feminist ravings about lying women in cahoots with the police does lead to tragedy … .
If you are not already depressed enough by this story, take a look at Domestic Violence Crime Watch, a site that chronicles cases in which domestic violence leads to murder and other violent crimes. While women account for some of the violence, the overwhelming majority of the cases on the site involve male perps and female victims; sometimes children and other family members are harmed or killed as well. Data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics shows clearly that women are far more likely to be murdered by intimates (and exes) than men. (The one bit of good news in all this: the number of such murders has been declining for some time.)
If this is all a bit much, here’s a live stream of kittens in action. (Or, at the moment at least, napping.)

¿what?
He can bench press a car, he’s an ex-football star
With degrees from both Harvard and Yale,
Girls just can’t keep up, he’s a real love machine,
He’s had far better sex while in jail,
He designed the Sears Tower, he makes two grand an hour,
He cooks the world’s best duck flambe,
He’ll take the pick of the litter, girls jockey for him,
He don’t need these lines to get laid!
SO KISS MEEEEEEEE I’M SHITFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACED…
I have a suspicion someone, who shall go nameless, is going to regret this in the morning.
Bravo! katz.
(In case anyone was wondering)
Cynic, I’m fourty and they were teaching how to solve for x when I was nine.
Two, being able to do so only demonstrates that you have some talent for math OR more likely that you could see the pattern. It does not make you a genius.
I think that even the people who came up with pi or how to solve for x weren’t considerd geniuses, but are renowned for the breakthroughs those discoveries were. Math is more often than not a plodding, methodical, progressional pattern.
So you speak a few languages. I used to as well and I have tenants here who never got past grade six who read, write and speak half a dozen languages fluently. This is not genius, but rather entirely within the grasp of pretty much any human who wishes to apply themselves in that direction.
I do believe that the word genius has become rathr watered down in the past hundred years.
Upon further reflection and reading other threads, I have come to the realization that I was not put on moderation. My apologies; nonetheless, I will be retiring for the next few days; I have worked myself up to a point that is not good for my health, I believe.
Considering your demonstrated temperment here and the fact that you’ve suffered a recent break up, I think you’ve made a wise decision Steele. Best wishes for your improved health.
Steele, take care of yourself.
Steele, that seems to be a good decision. Take care.
…You guys are all incredibly generous.
Take it easy, Steele.
Katz, seriously. Maybe it’s just the shitty day, but I’m hoping that the door hits Steele on the ass on the way out.
And Diogenes. Wow. Mensa. That’s. Wow. I’m so impressed. Sincerely. (Granted, I’m impressed by something other than you passing the test, but impressed nonetheless.)
Hey, where’d the trolls go? I gotta kid with flu who’s going to keep me up tonight and I need an amusing toy to bat around while the demonseed is sleeping.
Appreciated. It’s possible I may have been a little bit hyperbolic recently. Not much, but a little - perhaps.
Keep poking Diogynes and he’ll come back, his ego is too big to just walk away.
Meh, I’m not mad at him or anything, but I was planning on mocking him mercilessly because he’s actually incapable of holding a conversation in which he isn’t allowed to use the word “vile” XD
…Aaaand I got caught in moderation for mocking Steelpole for using a certain word.
Steele, you’ve had a rough time. Go do the other favorite things you like to do when you’re not here trying to poke us.
Take it easy, relax. We’ll be here when you’re feeling better.
Yeah, look after yourself, Steele.
*sigh* I guess if Steele breaks we won’t get to play with him any more.
*grudgingly* Steele, don’t break.
Unrelated: I’ve got an idea! Let’s list all the ways diogenes the cynic is like his namesake.
I’ll start:
Running around in an open forum talking about shit no one else cares about?
Actually, I was just thinking Cynic and Pell have a great deal in common. Like appeals of authority to their supposedly vastly superior intellects not currently in evidence.
Diogenes, Son of Pell …
Hope he has a passing resemblance to Montgomery!
Me too. He has to have something going for him.
Oh lordy, multiple meltdowns.
Just to clarify:
1) Steele, you weren’t on moderation. I put the word “vile” in the moderation filter as a little joke. Other people’s comments got caught by it as well. I thnk I let everything through in the end.
2) Diogenes, I didn’t delete your comment. The spam filter (which is different from the moderation filter) caught it. I don’t know why. I just let it through, and it can be found here:

3) Ideologue, Shaenon is not Amanda Marcotte. I have no idea why you would think she was. Google her name if you want to find out who Shaenon really is. (Hint: Her real name starts with Shaenon.)
Well, thank you Futrelle.
I’m late to the party, but that’s a lovely Kiss Me, I’m Shitfaced usage, Katz.
Thank you. As far as I’m concerned, there’s no such thing as a bad Kiss Me, I’m Shitfaced usage.
Diogenes, sucks you got bit. Looks like the posters on that forum think you’re dumb too.
Is that normally a forum where guys just sit around and talk about all the women that are desperate to fuck them/who broke up with them? Or is that just Diogynes being boring and self-centered?
I have to admit being rather moved (and I’m a cold-hearted evil feminist bitch!) with the concern expressed for Steele and, even more amazingly, his appreciation of it, without a single snarl or insult.
But then I got over it, heh.
I just noticed how quickly the story went from “I broke up with HER because she didn’t appreciate my brilliant MRA manginalaying) to “feminism brainwashed her and dragged her away from me, woes is me.”
While I am quite willing to believe in the offline reality of Ella, the revisions in the narrative over so short a time struck me as unrealistic, like the too-quick changes in fiction by beginning writers.
I attribute this to Steele’s bad writing techniques, mostly.
*erm that should be magainaSlaying above, sorry.
Too much grading erodes brain and typing skills.
Actually that scenario is pretty standard with the abuser lobby. I couldn’t keep up the decent human being pretense so when I dropped the act she dumped me.
Cassandra, its an awesome awesome forum. Used to be more busy.
And thats my dating thread. I kinda made it to document the process of getting married.
Looks likw Anonymous weren’t too impressed with Mr Moore’s website plans either.

Well, looks like he pissed off the wrong people this time.
I was under the (perhaps totally mistaken) impression that Anonymous had some f’d up politics around gender/feminism. Was I wrong, or is this a change for them?
They have had, historically speaking, but there are a lot of them and they don’t always agree on things, and there have been some signs that they may be growing up recently.
@Cloudia
Anonymous isn’t a single group. Hence the tag anonymous.
Its a loose collection of people with different motivations. They’re big on shutting down child porn rings, for example. But they’ll also post rumors that a celebrity just died. Its all done for kicks.
That was a mistype. I don’t really know how I kept mistyping the same thing, probably something to do with the dyslexia.
Anyway, the resident Sally still hasn’t answered whether he condones Ms. Marcotte’s behavior during the Duke Lacrosse scandal or her comments about Catholics. So far, it’s just been “you made this pretend thing about pretend people so that’s somehow on par with doing real shit to real fucking people”. I mean, how does imaginary even merit comparison to the witch hunt Amanda Marcotte took part in?
These Sallies would rather waste air screaming about imaginary women in jokes being raped than save real women from rape. This is why Sallies make less money on average, they don’t have any concept of reality. Money is made in the real world, not joke land. Lives are saved in the real world. People are fed and crime is prevented in the real world. Hell, the fact that all of them are here screaming at people is a testament to how frivolous their dogma is. It’s just an excuse to scream at people and abuse them.
Idealogue review: “the fact that all of them are here screaming at people is a testament to how frivolous their dogma is. It’s just an excuse to scream at people and abuse them.”
I just came into this thread but…you’re talking about MRA trolls right?
RE: IR
Who the hell is Sally? And what did she ever do to you?
IR/Preggo Punchout appears to be drunk posting.
A Sally is, if you had not realized from the context, someone who uses the social justice movement as an excuse to be cruel to others or to benefit themselves. I’m sure we have none of that here, though. Nobody uses social justice as an excuse to be cruel, and nobody has ever referred to insulting people as another “tool in [her] social justice arsenal”.
PreggoPunchout is making no sense again. In other news, water is wet.
Loggy, take your derailing bullshit and GTFO. This ain’t your house.
Sushi, you do know that David went around spamming his website on AVfM when he first started this thing, right? He loves the attention, so I figure it’s win-win.
Why would knowing that mean anything to any of us? IDGAF about that, or about your beef with Amanda Marcotte. That’s not what this post is about and you’re furiously trying to derail because it’s the only weapon in your arsenal.
also are you for real calling me sushi, that is the saddest make-fun-of nickname ever, surpassing even schticky’s ‘mange’
heidihi: My bet would be no.
IR, give it up dude, you’re never going to gain that moral high ground.
I have noticed that you have numerous cats on your site. That raises my respect for you!
