    What does it mean to 'feel like a girl'? Explain it to me please.
  2. -1=e^ipi
    Treat everyone equally and as individuals? Is that so hard?
  3. -1=e^ipi
    The existence of a joke or knowing someone who's been raped doesn't define a culture. They key word is pervasive. Also, I've seen feminists make 'rape jokes' while trying to bring awareness to 'rape culture'.
  4. -1=e^ipi
    I think this counts as victim blaming. So that just gets me: Rape culture is a concept within feminist theory in which rape is pervasive and normalized due to societal attitudes about gender and sexuality. Rape is neither normalized nor pervasive within our culture. Regardless of whatever made up feminist statistics such as the 1 in 4 rape statistic you have. Unless of course you completely redefine rape to the point of absurdity (I've seen some feminists expanding the definition to include 'eye rape' and 'twitter rape'). In that case, can you define rape?

    I don't understand why some people would find this funny, nor why anyone would have any desire to do this. Maybe it's because I am asexual. Can someone enlighten me? 1. Could you please define 'rape culture'? 2. Could you explain how a few idiots acting like jerks demonstrates the existence of this 'rape culture', rather than just demonstrates that there are some idiots/jerks out there? Does a few jihadists terrorists mean that Canada has a 'jihad culture'? Alcohol maybe? Idk. Society is very inhomogeneous.

    You realize the article you linked to does not contain the words 'tipping' or 'runaway', right? And the article refers to the IPCC 5th assessment report; the IPCC has the position that "a 'runaway greenhouse effect'—analogous to [that of] Venus—appears to have virtually no chance of being induced by anthropogenic activities." You really don't like conceding anything, don't you? Regardless of if it's the existence of a 'tipping point' or the basics of cellular respiration and photosynthesis. Maybe we should try to agree one more basic scientific facts. Do you agree with the Stefan-Boltzman law? Do you think the ideal gas law is a good model for how gas behaves in our atmosphere? Do you accept that the acceleration due to gravity on Earth is roughly -9.81 m/s^2?

    Look I don't deny that there are some differences in how men and women are treated online, but some people try to portray all of their online harassment as due to misogyny and that men don't experience; that is what I disagree with. Also, a lot of the 'sexual' harassment might be plain trolling, where the troll doesn't really care about your gender/sex but uses whatever physical characteristic you may have to annoy you. I hear FPS gamers are pretty bad. But I don't play FPS so maybe it is just a stereotype.
  9. -1=e^ipi
    There is no 'tipping point'
  10. -1=e^ipi
    So you disagree with the IPCC and the mainstream scientific community. Okay.
  11. -1=e^ipi
    So you admit that runaway is not possible? Good, we are making progress.
  12. -1=e^ipi
    Those weren't runaway global warming scenarios. They were warmer, but not 'runaway'.
  13. -1=e^ipi
    Fine, I retract the conspiracy claim. But a lot of 3rd-wave feminists are interpreting the vast majority of online harassment as something that is due to their gender and something that males do not face; they suffer from confirmation bias, they have a pre-determined conclusion and look for 'evidence' to support that conclusion. Both males and females face online harassment, trolling, etc. Some online harassment is sexual, some is not.
  14. -1=e^ipi
    What about breast feeding? Edit: well I guess male lactation is possible if you take the correct hormones.
  15. -1=e^ipi
    No, runaway global warming never happened on Earth. It happened on Venus, but not Earth.
  16. -1=e^ipi
    You are moving goalposts here. We were discussing whether runaway global warming and whether it is physically possible or not.
  17. -1=e^ipi
    I got sidetracked. Other issues got in the way. Sorry about that. Maybe I'll find time.
  18. -1=e^ipi
    I'll just say the same thing WestCoastRunner says. Go to Anita Sarkeesian's youtube channel and 'go educate yourself'. Also, give her money, lots of money.
  19. -1=e^ipi
    The ice-albedo effect is a feedback.
  20. -1=e^ipi
    More accurately it shouldn't matter, not it doesn't matter. SJW certainty try to make sure it matters.
  21. -1=e^ipi
    No. More like the dictionary 'definition' of feminism is Orwellian and doesn't mean what it does in practice. The same applies to words like 'progressivism' and 'social justice', they are Orwellian in nature.
  22. -1=e^ipi
    You add CO2 and the planet will warm, which will get amplified by feedbacks, until a new equilibrium is reached. Why is that such a difficult concept for you to understand? Based on what? The fact that it helps you dogmatically support a certain conclusion? Based on my understanding of the timescale of various feedbacks, I don't see a 'gap', although it is difficult to demonstrate since what you are asking for is not well defined. That's not my message. Stop strawmaning me.
  23. -1=e^ipi
    Look, it's called the stefan boltzman law. Black body radiation is proportional to temperature to the power of 4. That's what prevents the Earth from going into runaway warming. The 'blanket' will warm until outgoing radiation equals incoming radiation and the Earth is in radiative equilibrium with the Sun. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan%E2%80%93Boltzmann_law The only way runaway warming can occur is if you have a sufficiently strong positive feedback (such as water vapour if the Earth was as close to the Sun as Venus).
  24. -1=e^ipi
    Why do you think that a gap will even exist, or that this gap won't be negative? No this isn't defined enough, although better. How are we measuring productivity of agriculture and how are we determining slack length (climate change is continuous, not discrete)? Also, I'm not even sure if Texas will become wetter. The mechanism of changing wind direction at the latitude of California to be more easterly should cause California to become drier; but Texas will become wetter. However, there are other mechanisms in play. For example, the regions between the Hadley and Ferrel cells are high pressure regions, which is one of the reasons why you see so many deserts around 30 degrees N/S. However, if this high pressure system moves poleward, then that could cause both California & Texas to dry out (but then parts of Mexico should become wetter).

    The gender/sex of which is also irrelevant. Oh wait, are we suppose to mark the creation of threads by women as 'milestones' now?
