Doctor Who: "The Woman Who Lived" Review

This was terrible! There were so many opportunities missed here.

“My long life means nothing but suffering!”

“I have known a lot of people who lived longer, who coped perfectly well - one lived a life lasting as long as some suns, and he still called me friend.”

“Living a long life means I can master every art!”

“Mastery of arts is done through memory. Yet you forget everything else - that’s an awfully convenient sort of memory, don’t you think?”

“You abandon people!”

“I never promised to be their companion for the whole of their lives. I am a friend, not their husband, and i do not owe them more than I give to them, nor do they owe me more than they give to me.

They must find joy in the world through their own efforts, just like everyone else. As you pointed out - I am not their father. And even if I was, at some time, you have to make your own way in the world.”

I am sick of hearing that the Doctor is responsible for everyone’s happiness. He isn’t. It’s lazy writing to have him put in that situation over and over.

Also, black dudes in medieval England, when most people lived out their lives in the same few square miles?? Argh! SocJus strikes again!

Some advice for when you’re writing and find yourself stuck in the middle of a scene


  • kill someone
  • ask this question: “What could go wrong?” and write exactly how it goes wrong
  • switch the POV from your current character to another - a minor character, the antagonist, anyone
  • stop writing whatever scene you’re struggling with and skip to the next one you want to write
  • write the ending
  • write a sex scene
  • use a scene prompt
  • use sentence starters
  • read someone else’s writing

    Never delete. Never read what you’ve already written. Pass Go, collect your $200, and keep going.

Feminist Professor claims equality is impossible, as all males are inferior


"Women are not equal to men; they are superior in many ways, and in most ways that will count in the future."

https://archive.is/RbZHe webpage capture saved from     18 Oct 2015 23:50:54 UTC


This article reminds me of the old Nazi propaganda where they would go into endless detail as to why Aryans were superior to Jews.


Nothing of his claims makes any sense unless you start with the assumption of male inferiority. It is a circular argument.

"Why did those self-sufficient females invent males? "

This is pseudo-scientific gobbledigook. In an asexual species, they aren't female. The English language just don't have a decent word for a gender neutral being.
"There is a birth defect that is surprisingly common, affecting a key pair of chromosomes. In the normal condition the two look the same, but in this disorder one is shrunken beyond recognition. "


It's incredibly emotive to look at code samples and decide one set is 'shrunken'. Unless you can read and understand the code, you have no idea whether it is missing useful instructions - or the other version is simply full of junk.

Has this professor cracked the code? When every geneticist in the world cannot do so? I didn't think so.

As for male and female, it's only some species that use Y chromosomes for male anyway. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y_chromosome#Variations

" The Z chromosome is larger and has more genes, like the X chromosome in the XY system." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZW_sex-determination_system

By this 'logic', male birds are innately superior because the sex chromosome is larger.

Not sure how he deals with those species that change sex depending on temperature or other circumstances - I guess they just meditate on their loathing until they can find some way to twist the facts to their idiotic ideology.


" The majority of young people now graduating from high school, entering college, and finishing college are female"

Yes, and when the reverse was true it was used as proof that the system was sexist. Special female only scholarships were created, and the teaching styles were changed to be female focussed.

Male education has tanked in feminist countries, but it does very well elsewhere. Does that mean there are different species of humans? Are Asian Males innately superior to African American Males? Gasp! 
Of course, the author has no problem with discrimination against the group they loathe. It's not sexist when their side does it. "It doesn't count when we do it" is the catch phrase of bigots everywhere.

"Contrary to all received wisdom, women are more logical and less emotional than men."

Hmm, well if it's contrary to all received wisdom, there'll be some mighty great evidence needed.

(*looks for evidence*)

No evidence here. It's blindly asserted. It's precisely as true as saying that "Jews are subhuman".

"Women do cry more easily, and that, too, is partly biological. "

No, it's wholely biological. Male tear ducts operate differently.
Women are biologically wired to shed tears more than men. Under a microscope, cells of female tear glands look different than men's. Also, the male tear duct is larger than the female's, so if a man and a woman both tear up, the woman's tears will spill onto her cheeks quicker. "For men and their ducts, it'd be like having a big fat pipe to drain in a rainstorm," says Louann Brizendine, a neuropsychiatrist at the University of California, San Francisco.
http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748703922804576300903183512350
"But life on this planet isn’t threatened by women’s tears"

It's not threatened by anything human at all. Even a nuclear war would, at worst, wipe us out, but, mostly, life would barely notice it.

Meanwhile, it's humans - especially males - who are heading into space to try and spread life elsewhere, so it isn't wiped out by a single bloody asteroid.

http://i.space.com/images/i/000/032/965/original/mars_gallery_habitat_8.jpg
" nor does that brimming salty fluid cause poverty"

You really are obsessed with tears. Where is your proof that masculinity causes poverty? Human productivity has increased year after year under what you regard as a male dominated society. There is less starvation in relative terms than ever before. In many countries, the poor have clean water, full bellies, usually a roof over their heads.

So are female societies more productive? Where are these bastions of wealth, then?



" ruin reputations"

You seriously propose that women do not do that? Fu.... do you you even know a woman is?

" impose forced intimacies"

Amazing. You don't know that women can rape? You never asked? Did a search on the internet? Did any research at all?

Nope. It must be true because a Feminist said it was.

Female rape victim who was attacked by another woman shares details about the 'terrifying' assault and reveals friends and family 'dismissed it as a lesbian experiment gone wrong' 
  • The victim was cornered in a bathroom at a party and had her underwear forcibly removed while her mouth and nose were covered
  • She said that no one at the party ever spoke about the incident again - and even her therapist seemed 'unimpressed' by her experience
  • Having been assaulted by both a man and a woman, the victim said that both were 'equally terrifying' - but only one garnered real sympathy

"torture helpless people"

http://listverse.com/2012/10/30/10-female-concentration-camp-guards/

"... or reduce cities to rubble"
Because female leaders have never existed? They never conducted wars? Does this professor even know what a history book is?



Recent historians, however, have taken a more complicated view of Elizabeth.[195] Her reign is famous for the defeat of the Armada, and for successful raids against the Spanish, such as those on Cádiz in 1587 and 1596, but some historians point to military failures on land and at sea.[125]

In Ireland, Elizabeth's forces ultimately prevailed, but their tactics stain her record.[196]

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/73/QueenAnne1702.jpg

Queen Anne's War
(1702–1713), as the North American theater of the War of the Spanish Succession was known in the British colonies, was the second in a series of French and Indian Wars fought between France and England, later Great Britain,[1] in North America for control of the continent. The War of the Spanish Succession was primarily fought in Europe. In addition to the two main combatants, the war also involved numerous Native American tribes allied with each nation, and Spain, which was allied with France. It was also known as the Third Indian War[3] or in French as the Second Intercontinental War.[4]

"These disasters are literally man-made. They result from men’s emotions, which are a constant distraction to them."

Every point this twat makes is testable. Yet they don't even spend a few seconds of searching to check. I think this is completely a matter of projection - a spittle-drenched rant of bile, emotion the only source, reason the direst enemy.

Why DO feminists insist men walk about in high heels anyway?

A reaction to https://archive.is/7I9kA






"You can't understand women's experiences until you wear their shoes!"



"I am. Women wear these shoes too."



"No, no - women's shoes are delicate, and have high heels!"

"Rubbish. You haven't lived in the country, have you mate? Men and women wear the same bloody shoes unless they are going out somewhere, and even then it's a matter of putting on your good shoes only when you have to."




"And in the city - it's office women who are choosing to wear heeled shoes - but you often see they are a damned sight cooler to wear than the ones men have to wear - plus the rest of the women's suit is, by jingo!"








No-one is making 'em.



They've got the freedom - more'n us blokes, I reckon!




"No, no - the Patriarchy is forcing women to wear high-heeled shoes! Do not deny the all-powerful Patriarchy!"


"Marge, whattaya wearing?"





"Me boots, you bloody drongo, whattaya think I'd be wearing?"


http://c8.alamy.com/comp/C8G8T9/woman-road-train-driver-with-truck-carrying-75-tonnes-of-tomatoes-C8G8T9.jpg

"Boots? Like a.. a man? No.. she can't be.. it's... it's impossible! (*brain explodes*)

"Bill, will you look at this bloody mess? When will you learn to stop talking to Feminists? They can't handle it!"

"Too right Marge, but think of the free pig feed!"



Mixed in with grain, one feminist can feed many pigs, but care must be taken to let the hate air out first...



or the consequences can be alarming!


According to Feminists, these aren't 'real' women, because they aren't wearing women's shoes.

Well, here's the thing, you bastards...

Every woman is a real woman.

A lot of women don't wear high heels. Not wearing them, or wearing them, doesn't mean you can't understand their experience. Wearing a fashion item some men wear routinely in any case gives you no insight into anything.

Louis XIV- feminists think this fop must have magical empathy with women, because raisins.

You want to have real insight, feminists?



Strap on a hard hat.



Take the risks we do.






Don't forget to pack a black outfit. You walk in our shoes, you'll be going to more funerals.



Better pack a flag, just in case.

The right to face your accuser - stripped away - by Feminists

Minister for Women Shannon Fentiman said victims would automatically have "special witness" status in court.

The Minister for Women. Why not call her the Minister for Feminism? Isn't it interesting there's no concept of a "Minister for Men"?

Because it's against men that this law will be applied. No defense, the presumption of guilt, and not even the right to face your accuser.

"Imagine the bravery it takes to stand up to a violent partner" she says, assuming all accusers are innocent victims, and all accused are guilty. No burden of proof. The trial is just for show.

"We hold red rose rallies every time a person dies in Queensland"

How many are held for men?

None.

Yet more men die than women, by a substantial degree.

Men... aren't persons. They aren't people. They are the victimisers, the enemies, the ones who lay the real people in the Earth.

This is the rhetoric of every hate movement.

"A change where victims, a change where fathers like myself, will be left without worry that our daughters will be treated with respect from males in their lives," he said.

Domestic violence is most commonly reciprocal.


http://pb.rcpsych.org/content/35/1/33.1

How much respect are women treating their men with?

Hmm, it turns out:



"In 70% of the non-reciprocally violent relationships women were the perpetrators of violence."

So maybe the parents should be making sure their kids are protected from violence - not just blaming their sons for whatever happens to their daughters, not giving their sons no protection from the women in their lives.

http://www.northwestern.edu/newscenter/stories/2014/09/domestic-violence-likely-more-frequent-for-same-sex-couples.html

And what if they aren't straight? There's no recognition that that is possible in their minds.

Why? Because of an inconvenient truth: Lesbians are MORE likely to be violent than straight men.

But that undermines the narrative - the Duluth Model, the idea that all men are responsible for all violence - and all women - even that woman who killed 8 kids, - are responsible for none of it.



Removing the right to a fair trial, in the name of protecting the wimmin-folk - where have we heard that one before?



Didn’t work out so well last time now, did it?

Rich woman laughs at the misery of all boys and all men - in the name of Feminism

https://archive.is/lD1Ko

   
    2 Oct 2015 11:58:25 UTC


Just snorkelling in an entire lagoon of male tears.
Clementine Ford's fantasy is to swim through rivers of male tears - the tears of old men abandoned and homeless, without care just because of them being born with the wrong sex, and of young boys having their throats cut or their bodies burnt alive by Boko Haram while the world only worries about the few schoolgirls who were kidnapped.

http://i0.wp.com/www.avoiceformen.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/06/boko-haram-massacred-boys.jpg

This is the face of Feminism. Smug, privileged, infinitely entitled and callous.

And before you say not all feminists are like that - there are no feminists who object to her. She has a free pass to do this stuff, and she does it over and over.

https://richardedmondsondotnet.files.wordpress.com/2015/04/syrianboy.jpg?w=640

How does she get away with it?

http://loveincsouthwest.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/homeless-man.jpg

Because Patriarchy Theory holds that all the woes of the world are caused by men, and so you can do any atrocity you wish to them, and they deserve it. You can even talk about putting them in concentration camps. That's not a problem.



But when people object to that? Why that is reported to the bloody United Nations as cyber-violence. It is reported as violence as bad as physical violence to simply say "NO, you are wrong", and it is reported as violence to all women, everywhere, as hatred of all women, everywhere.


Feminism is evil. Feminism is a rich, privileged woman swimming through the tears of the dying. Feminism is the enemy, and we will oppose it, and we will see the end of it, mark my words.


It's time for the river to be dammed.
