Humans are fucking awesome. Without us, the Earth would dribble on for a bit, then all life would end, forever.
With us, life might spread to other planets around out sun … spread to the spaces between planets … to new systems altogether … changing the whole time in ways we cannot imagine…
We will adapt through evolution and through intelligent design to conditions, we will change our bodies for fun and for aesthetics, perhaps as casually as we change clothes…
We will combine with machines.
We look up, and we see no aliens. The skies are silent. Where are the aliens?
If there are no aliens, we will become the aliens.
Our DNA will be altered in a million different ways. We will speciate.
We will assume the forms of our myths.
We will be people and machines as one.
Aging, deformity, disease; these are just technical problems, to be overcome. Perhaps some of us will choose another path. Living on alien worlds or building our own worlds. Leaving this one as a park and a memorial …
Gazing at our relics like we now gaze at the pyramids… Wondering how the past people could manage so much with such limited lives. Then returning home to our comforts amongst the stars.
"[Toxo infection] may be linked to schizophrenia and other disturbances associated with altered dopaminc levels — for example, obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and mood disorders.”" Joanne Webster, a parsitologist at the Imperial College London.
"For too long, there's been a stereotype about cat guys."
No evidence is presented for this, of course. It is simply asserted, in exactly the way antisemitic propaganda was asserted. The audience Listened and Believed everything that suited their prejudices. The idea of the Patriarchy dictating that men should not have cats makes perfect sense to the SocJus maniacs who lap this stuff up.
"some might dismiss men's pussy PDAs as frivolous"
Yes. Some might. We call them "sane people". It meets every definition of frivolous to post pictures of your pets.
1.
characterized by lack of seriousness or sense:
frivolous conduct.
2.
self-indulgently carefree; unconcerned about or lacking any serious purpose.
3.
(of a person) given to trifling or undue levity:
a frivolous, empty-headed person.
4.
of little or no weight, worth, or importance; not worthy of serious notice:
a frivolous suggestion.
Kittens are cute, but pictures of them lack serious purpose, and it reflects on the state of the ABC that they now focus on them
US Captain L Woods with Australian prisoners of war
This is the sort of thing the ABC used to focus on, before it decided that was all too toxic and masculine.
Now all it does is cats on rhoombas.
Why does the ABC still exist? Why is it paid for by men when all it does is shit on them?
"experts say "
Experts? Gotta love those ABC weasel words. What experts? What are their credentials? With what skepticism were their claims met? What testing was done.
'Experts' claim everything, apparently.
Hey, ABC! Experts say your days are numbered; that more and more of your programs are getting the ax. Because instead of news - you post fluff stories and feminist propaganda. At a time fewer and fewer Australians identify as feminist.
Sure, you are very popular with that echo chamber - but it's getting tighter and tighter inside.
Sooner or later, you will implode into nothingness.
Or so the experts say - not taking any responsibility for that opinion myself, of course.
Why is it the ABC only wants to know about castrated males, and can't even be bothered to check how different masculine (un-neutered) cats look like?
Is it because, in their view, every male should be given the snip?
Gotta love those experts.
"Why are cats considered feminine?"
Because they are castrated. Do you have any idea what an uncastrated Tom is like? Of course you don't - that would be data that doesn't help you reach your desired conclusion. Throw that cherry aside, ABC!
Over the course of her academic career Heather has taught many courses, including: Critical Social Work, Anti-Oppressive Practice, Feminist Policies and Perspectives, Theorising Inequality, Social Policy, Social Work Research, Advocacy and Social Action, Community Work, Groupwork, Communication Skills and Narrative Analysis. At Flinders she has also taught: Social Work Theories of Intervention Gender and Sexuality; and Child Welfare.
Huh! So her expertise is in feminism, and everything she does is viewed through a feminist lens. She has no scientific credentials, is never treated critically, and has no more credibility than a scientologist or a flat-earther.
She shares your faith - so you paint her as an expert. It's circular. How do we know this feminist belief is true? A feminist said it was.
the "rise of the metrosexual" man - sorry, you think dandies are new? Well, since your experts are feminists, not historians, that doesn't surprise me.
"It may also allow men to express a kinder, more thoughtful form of masculinity"
MAY. Speculation without any evidence. It may also cause them to levitate to the moon, or devour the souls of the innocent. Where the hell are your facts?
Where is the data showing that men who don't have cats are cruel?
"A previous study, in 1998, found that men who were identified as liking cats were rated by participants as less masculine and more feminine than men who liked dogs"
Oh. Right. So you regard masculine men as bad men. Why does that not surprise me? You automatically rated feminine men as kind, because in your sexism, women are GOOD and men are BAD.
Bigots will do that; the members of their ingroup are always assigned positive values; the Others are demonised, and bigots have nothing good to say about them.
The only 'acceptable' man to a feminist is a feminised man. A neutered man. A spayed man.
Jesus bloody Christ!
The rest of your fluff piece just repeats itself - so I'll leave you to your man-hating.
May your kind be locked up in a room with other bigots until nothing is left but the remains of your vanilla lattes.
"A robot that looks like a woman but isn’t a woman is just a fake woman for men who don’t like women."
Rubbish. In a state where feminists have made heterosex a crime for men, it's the only safe way for a man to do anything other than crude masturbation.
"Imagine a future where masses of men divorce themselves from the world and have sex with robots instead of people."
It would only be men in feminist countries.
"Maybe children would all be conceived through artificial means by then and raised by the government."
This is what feminists proposed back in the 1960s as their goal, yes. Have a read of the feminist literature of that time, they are quite open about it.
"If not, humanity would die off."
No, Western Civlisation would fall. Feminism has no power outside the West, and they have kids like crazy in Islamic countries.
"Machines Can’t Replace People"
No, but they can replace people who are dangerous. In a feminist society, every woman can accuse any man of being a rapist, and probably win the case unless the man has a lot of money.
It's self-defense to use a bot instead.
And it's interesting that no-one raises the same arguments against the use of sex toys by women.
"Sexbots don’t just demean women."
They don't demean anyone. Sextoys are not voodoo.
" they demean men in thinking that men are nothing more than base animals only interested in carnal desires"
Uh huh. Did dildos do that to women?
“[M]ost blokes are fine with a pizza and a wank,” Milo wrote, and “[M]en are just as happy beating a video game as they are solving the riddles of the universe.”
Largely true - few men are philosophers. That has always been the case.
"Men are happy being worthless losers "
And few women are philosophers - yet it's only men you regard as worthless by your standard?
" Humans live for so much more than that."
No, a few do, most don't push themselves and regard their life as good if they aren't hungry etc.
The masses of humanity do not care about such matters, which is probably a good thing because we would starve in short order if farmers lost themselves in existentialism rather than dealing with crop dusting.
You keep looking at the exceptions and imaging they are the norm; they are not, never have been, and it's unlikely they ever will be. Communism requires everyone to have such a lofty nature, and communism fails every single time because we do not have that disposition.
Facing reality rather than enjoyable delusions is the first step to being a philosopher. Practise what you preach, sir.

Showrunners call rape-for-shock-value a “plague on the industry”
Do they? Because it's been there since the first works of fiction were created. Along with incest, murder and insanity. So - are they to be eradicated as well? Will perfectly inoffensive fiction be created by a committee of the politically correct?
"In the wake of controversy surrounding comments from Last Tango In Paris director Bernardo Bertolucci"
"I would say out of those 200 scripts, there were probably 30 or 40 of them that opened with a rape or had a pretty savage rape at some point"
Yes. It pushes emotional buttons. You can have a billion dead male bodies and people will yawn. One female rape, an the pulses are racing! One male rape? Oh, that's called a comedy.
Or Amy Schumer having a night out.
"We were not going to do that thing where it’s about how the hero’s wife and child were killed"
Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru - was it a simple electrical fault, as the Empire claimed?
Ahh, so you are not going to motivate your audiences to care about the situation. An interesting tactic! So Luke Skywalker's adopted parents, in the revised Star Wars, will not be shot and burnt, well - not sure of they were shot, but it's kinder to think that they were. Instead, they shall all sit together braiding each other's hair.
It would certainly make for a shorter story. Save a lot on production costs. And on hiring cinemas, because who the hell would pay money to see that?
People want horrors. They want pain. To purge themselves. This has been known since the time of the Greek civilisation - yet somehow it's news to these guys.
"Most notably, Variety cited HBO’s blockbuster Game Of Thrones—long criticized for its willingness to deploy rape as a method of shock"
criticised by feminists, not people who actually create stuff, yes. I noticed the readers of that book series were perfectly happy to make it into a mega-best-seller despite the fact that a few ideologues shrieked UNACCEPTABLE every time a fictional woman suffered.
"If you’re going to do it, show it, and show it from the P.O.V. from the woman"
They half did that and you guys freaked. You really need to get your story straight, if only for an afternoon.
"don’t use it as a way to motivate a male character.”
Fine. Men are raped in prison all the time. Tell me about all the feminist stories where the woman who loves a male rape victim does something to avenge his pain.
I mean, there must be hundreds... dozens... one? Is there even one? Is there any single fiction a feminist has written where the value of a man's pain is enough for a woman to lift a finger?
Of course not, silly! Feminism is for everybody! Just not MEN.

Trees will be trees, cats will be cats, but feminists cannot face up to the facts.
Boys WILL be boys, they're not stunted females. They WILL be free of you shrieking Euryales. You say we are toxic, well that's quite the joke; Seems to me that you really can't tell us how t'bloke!
To stifle their minds and make them your slaves; He Is For She proclaimed on airwaves! But resistance is growing and from you we'll be free. We boys; we men; heeding not your decree.
"Mother WISE"? Well most mothers their own son accepts. Feminist 'wisdom' them imprisons by it's vile precepts!
Don't act like men, what are you, a babyish cult? Doesn't it seem time to become an adult? We'll be men; you, women; on that we are clear. And our lads will be free from your clutch coming near.

"‘Watch out if known/reputable news sites are not also reporting on the story"
But that's the problem. All the MSM were reporting things like that Trump was losing the election, and Clinton was moving to Victory, Victory, Victory!
Which means we lose faith in them.
Just as we did when the Elliot Rodgers story broke and the MSM blamed men's rights activists and even GamerGate for his actions. They copied and pasted false information, and refused to acknowledge as they drifted - knowingly - into full on propaganda.
I spoke to a journalist called John Birmingham. He knew what the facts were. He just didn't CARE.
Zimdars to decide what YOU will be allowed to see.
The MSM no longer prints facts, it prints propaganda, which is why their sales are plummeting and people are turning elsewhere. Would it be nice to have some objective body tell us who is factual?
Certainly.
Is Zimdars someone who can be trusted? No evidence has been provided, we have just been told to trust her; but the fact that Buzzfeed-style webpages are not included makes it clear to me she has an agenda, and she wants only her side to be heard, and others to be silenced.

And there it is.
She's interested in teaching SocJus, and wants antifeminist websites censored through this back door.
So Breitbart is banned because it's "hyperpartisan"? In other words, not because it's factually incorrect, but guilty of wrongthink? 
Some Facebook plugins are auto-censoring this right now.
