re: #792 Cato the Elder

So this person on a blog goes all sophist on me and starts thinking in quintuple negatives and casuistries, and I’m like, “you make decisions with that brain?”, and she’s all, “what?”, and I go, “parse it under an electron microscope”, and she’s like, “you’re rude”, and I’m LOL “you noticed?” and then the blog police had to come and someone said “perjorative” even though that’s not a word and…projectile laughter!

Way to avoid any form of substantive reply to anything I wrote. You apparently believe the term ‘feminist hawk’ is an insult unto itself, and nothing else need be said, because it is self-provingly bad. (because in fact, that is the ONLY mention of LGF in the NY Times article - i.e., as a ‘feminist hawk’ blog)

As a feminist hawk, I am frankly stunned that anyone would view the term as an insulting one.

But you went on to say that LGF only catalogues the far-right crazies, and you implicitly agree with that. (Such a statement itself is evidence that you are NOT a centrist; if in fact Charles buys into such an argument, he is per se NOT a centrist. It is because I have seen Charles castigate both the far right and the far left that I believe him to be centrist.)

So I see from this you apparently only view the far right as a threat and buy into ‘feminist hawk’ being a derogatory word. Stunning.

Well, you certainly can never call yourself a centrist.

I will leave it at that.
