What Happens Next: A Gallimaufry

Anonymous asked: Oh good god. After you mentioned your post on Bakker I thought I'd give it a read and seeing as you also mentioned the man himself appearing in the comment section a number of times I read the entire thread. I think I need to lie down. I'm in pain. The number of people responding to completely reasonable statements (delivered with citation and without hyperbole) with claims of 'irrationality' and 'man hating' simply because the speaker identifies as a feminist is agonising. I need to rest.

Shh, shh. It’s okay now. Just take deep breaths.

Seriously though: there has been some spectacular fuckery in comments on my blog over the years, but that Bakker thread remains a tarnished beacon of no; a fractured cabochon emerald in the gemstone setting of What Not To Do On The Internet. Rarely has so little been said with so much. 

To quote @seananmcguire, THE NOPETOPUS RIDES AGAIN.
