Feminism vs Stupidity

watched this video on youtube from the Factuary

and in the comments i saw these posts:

This is a pile of shit
1. Wage Gap is a myth because you dont quantify Divorce statistics into this, no one does. Where if a couple stay married the children- both MALE and FEMALE children will inherent the mans money and wife- you dont look at in this why men die much earlier than women because have to work themselves to death, whilst women tend to stay home. AND in divorce the womyn will get more than half assets without working for them. So this ontop on how the adverage is used makes it BS.

2. You dont say that violent crime is far higher as a police statistic to men than women, where rape is such an insignificant crime figure it is hardly registerable. Rape culture like Pay gap is simply there to have advantaged the concept that women are victims thus giving them better leverage in Divorce- see point 1. Rape culture is the concept that men are a privileged sex who dont have to think about anything and this is usually there to hide the fact women like to try and ape male behaviour.

3. No rapist has ever been let off from a rape, because of how the female was dressed. What rape investigation does do is try to determine if the female is lying based upon other more malign reasons out of female psyche - that are proven, incase the rape isn't real. Rape is invented just as female agency uses victimization as to being intimidated or threaterned in certain situations usually where they have not been and is used therefore to have proxy violence performed instead.

4. reproduction- Rape is always used as the defense of abortions where in reality the Pill and Abortion have all been instruments of Feminism for them to become post-human and ape male behaviours using female abandonment, the lilith believe of male-privilege...only then to conflict with those ill concieved ideas returning to victimhood, female agency, sexuality, rape culture etc...
In reality most terminations are performed by female social factors and empowerment, this is a female kill-theory.

----
Seriously..? This person is fucking retarded in a bad way.

My responses are as follows
1. Since the wage gap applies to women who work and not women who don't work divorce statistics don't apply. Bringing that up is the same as saying there are only a few (insert racial miority)'s that work legally in the U.S. so they shouldn't make they same amount of money as the majority <- Slavery, anyone? 
1. Secondly if your working in stereotypes, women who "stay home" are expected to budget the household finances (shoping), cook, clean, raise children, and provide sex for their husbands (regardless of if they do or not it is a societal expectation) which if you HIRED someone to do would be very expensive. Personal Chefs, Maids, Accountants, Personal Shoppers, and Child care. Child care alone costs upwards of $300 a week if you have a full time job.
1. Third, inheritance laws work both ways as do divorce laws. A widower may recieve their spouses property upon their death. If a husband makes less money than his wife he may be entitled to recieve allimony payments upon their divorce. Just because men often choose not to pursue these rights, or the circumstances don't favor those types of rulings, do not mean that men are not entitled to equal treatment under the law in those cases.

2. Rape culture is there to promote the concept that women are victims, and to brain wash women into believing it themselves. This allows men to dominate them through fear tactics. Your statement that men are a privlidged sex is in fact reafirmed by your later statement that "women like to "TRY" to ape male behavior". Behavior in humans is ALL human behavior, seperating it into male and female behaviors is just reaffirming that you believe male behavior has some sort of MALE ONLY sign on it.

3. hat is proven is that rape victims are often shamed/bullied based on how they're dressed and so many never come foreward to accuse their rapist through legal means. If someone is traumatized they can legaly be said to be INCOMPETENT. This means they are unable to decide for themselves if what happened to them bears investigation or not. So if a woman is shamed into not accusing her rapist that's coercion, if she believes that coercion she's incompetent and the rape is not invalidated.

4. Abortion in most cases is used to prevent bringing a child into this world whose 1) parents don't want them, 2) parents can't support them, 3)possibly have life threatening birth defects, 4) being brought to term would endanger the life of their mother as well a s themselves. All 4 of those can result in death for the child anyway, where as abortion would cause death but limited suffering. 
4. continued- Death by abuse, death by starvation/environment(freezin
­g to death,etc),death by tay-sachs (where your own body soffucates you), death by manslaughter of the spouse of the person who's supposed to then raise you? These are the things your saying are OKAY, that we should allow people to bring children into the world knowing they will suffer these things. That's more than a little sadistic.

5. Are you a robot? were you not born from a women? and yet you do not seem to respect that she is a human being, and entitled to the same rights as any other human being regardless of gender. I'd be ashamed if you were my child, and if i knew that you'd be inflicting such prejudical and toxic veiws upon the world, well...lets just be glad that your not. i know i am, i hear prison is very rough.

Yep I went there. what a misogynist, give a bad name to people everywhere.

It's alive!!! O_O

So yeah MoP is out today, or well 9hours ago. I couldn't afford to buy it yet so i don't have it. The good news is that pandas are playable even if you don't have the expansion so i made my Shammy panda. yey me.
...
Although since i want to do the starting area with my mom i have to wait till she wakes up and gets online..hopefully before i go back to sleep.

In related news i've decided to go with the following proffesions on my shamy:
1) Cooking- Cause pandas get a bonus, yesss sir!
2) Alchemy- take the buffs from cooking and add them to the buffs from alchemy and i'll be buff-tastic.
3) Inscription- So i can buff every one else!! yey. also staffs are a good thing for healers so i'll be able to do that

You'll also notice that bothe primary profs use herbalism. My paly is a herb/miner so i can just go round up all my herbs and send them to my shammy every couple of levels.

As far as my monk goes, my expectation when i get MoP is that i'll take enchanting and tailoring on it. the reason for this is that i have insane bananas enchanting stuff but getting high end ones is a pain because i don't like playing end game stuff on my priest who has enchanting. Also tailoring will benefit said priest since getting gear is such a compettiotion on the AH, and since i'm going healing i should be able to level pretty quickly and surpass my other to tailors (my dk 68, and my warlock 35)

Sounds like a plan.

Updated alliance levels are as follows:

Priest- 85
Druid- 85
Paladin- 80
Death Knight- 68
Warrior- 54
Mage- 50
Warlock- 35
Rogue- 26
Hunter- 14
Shaman- 1
*Priest- 1 <- but only cause its a place holder for my eventual monk charachter. I like me my names. lol

that's what i got so far smooches!

New page layout! ^_^

Just because i can. Also I did a photoshoot last month and now i can use the pics for something ^_^

New Cover Videos: All Amy ALWAYS!!!

So i gave up cigarettes for a few days and it made me...wierd..and so i decided i'd sing a bit, cause that's how my brain works.
And my vocals were all out of control cause my mind was all over the place.

But then i started smoking again and decided to redo "Addicted" by Amy Winehouse which i've been planning to redo for about a year as a vocal comparrison to the first time i uploaded one. So i did that lol.

Then while i was at it I did a cover of "Cupid" by Amy Winehouse, the original is by sam cooke whom i luv ^_^.

I also did a cover of "All my Loving" by the beetles, but with the Amy Winehouse backing arrangement..which i decided not to post but i'm telling you about anyways so you'll know what you've been spared. lol

Over all i think "Cupid" was the better of the vocals over all. Although my vocals were pretty high throughout.

...
Oh and here's a link to the first time i did "addicted" back in 2009. ^_^

Still doing stuff...writing

So yeah i'm still doing stuff with my writing. I have like no focus most of the time.

Update wise, i made a "document" for the therapy series i wanna write. should be fun since i wanna set it up like case notes, and have the dialog/scenes be transcribed recordings of sessions. I.E. it's just gonna be talking without anything resembling descriptions of what going on.

On the Gates Crossing front I hit another road block in the first chapter although it's set up a bit better this time so i should be able to write myself out of it.
i'm thinking i should go in and writ the prologue and 1st chapter cutscene, before i start moving foreward though. also i need to fleshout my plot a bit. It's pretty muc a straight shot from the start to te end and i think it's a bit more stuff to make it interesting. More of the sense of really telling the story and not just streamlining it so it makes sense to someone who knows whats going on, i.e. me, lol, which is where it's at now.

Planning on going in and jotting down ideas for the Omoria series, before they dissapear completely from my head.

Mirror Mirror series is on hiatus because i'm a hot mess and i have to much stuff in my head right now. @_@

I'm gonna try to add to the "companion" books when i umm feel like it? but hopefully a bit more often then i'm doing now. They're for my reference first and foremost so i'm not in a big rush about getting them finished since that's kind of an impossible goal. Plus editing them all the time would be time consuming.

Thats about it for now. kk. smooches!!

"Dead Fantasy" is super awesome!

So I just watched "Dead Fantasy" on youtube for the very first time. I actually stumbled upon refrences to it on the Final Fantasy wiki and was intrigued.

...

It is super awesome fantasticness.

For those of you who don't know its an "animated" battle royal of Final Fantasy (although since it includes a kingdom hearts character i guess it's more like square enix) characters fighting Dead or Alive characters. Theres a plot i think but i have no idea what it is, soo there. lol

It was created by Monty Oum, here the link to his youtube. Apparently he does other stuff, i have no idea what that stuff maybe. lol
youtube.com/montyoum
Currently i wondering what the compiled clips (which run for 30 something minutes) would be like if i muted the music and played songs like "Lady Marmalade" and "How Many Licks"(by Lil' Kim ft Sisqo for those not in the know), i'm thinking it'd be hell'a funny.

So check it out!!

"Madoka Magica" review

Just got done watching "MadoKa Magica" on Hulu.
...
Slightly Yuri in nature, which is fine, this anime is a bout "magical girls". It's a actually really dark in my opinion and not something i would reccomend for children or even young adults, because the way it's laid out conveys ideals such as human worth, selfishness, death, and the consequences of naivete in a way that is very jarring.

I think it's an anime that is better suited to a mature individual who is aware that negative things happen in the world without getting depressed about it or needing to sugar coat it.

I'd reccomend it for watching as long as people arn't fooled by the intial premise of the magical girl genre. it's very deep thematicly.

I found the character of Kyubey very intriguing since he's set up like this "angel" like being going around granting wishes and giving out super powers, when he's actually serving the purposes of his own culture and knowingly withholding information in order to recruit magical girls in order for them to become "corrupted" and become the very enemies(witches) they were recruited to fight causing a vicious cycle of futility and pain for those girls.
Kyubey is doing those things for the higher purpose of perserving the universe, but the question then becomes one of "Is your purpose better then anyone elses?"
While pursuing his own agenda of saving the universe he only reveals certain facts to the magical girls after thing have happened in a way that they can figure things out on their own.
~For example it isn't until after Sayaka's soul gem(created during the magical girl creation process and the focus of their magical power) is thrown away by main character Madoka that it is revealed that Soul Gems are actual souls. That what the girls had always known as their bodies had become shells that simply responded to their "minds" hidden away in their soul gems.
 ~Another occurs when Kyoko witnesses Sayaka become a witch. It is only then that Kyubey reveals that his purpose of saving the universe and that the change from magical girls to witch is the actual purpose of creating magical girls in the first place, since the energy released at that moment is the one being used to save the universe. This can also be viewed as Kyubey not caring about granting wishes or fighting witches, but caring only about recruiting girls and standing by (perhaps even gleefully) watching and waiting for the monet when they actual destroy themselves, becom the thing they''ve been fighting against.

The anime in a round about way explores this issue as well as, "Is selflessness actually selfish?" The girls in the anime have to wish for something in order to become magical girls and kyubye then grants their wish.
~Mami wishes to survive after an accident which may have killed her, but after surviving and becoming a magical girl she risks her life during every battle and is cut off from the world around her before eventually being killed. So her selfish wish results in a simple delay of the eventual, and causes her suffering.
~Sayaka selflessly wishes for her crush to be healed so he can return to playing the violin, because his injury no longer allows for that and the lose is causing him to mental instability. However upon regaining his health one of her friends confesses to liking him and having become a magical girl with a soul seperated from her body she no longer feels like she's even human and is thus unworthy of being with her crush in any significant way. She then has a breakdown and turns into a witch, turning on her friends when they attempt trying to return her to her previous state, and eventually needing to be "put down"at the cost of another magical girls life.
~Kyoko again wishes selflessly that people will listen to her father who is an excomunicated priest preaching a new religion. when this wish is granted and people again return to her father conrigation when he learns its the result of "magic" he goes crazy and kill the rest of her family and then himself. She develops a selfish attitude but after seeing someone else follow her same path of selfless wishing(Sayaka) and learning that magical girls become witches she tries to help sayaka before sacrificeing herself to destroy what the magical girl had become. In a way selflessly stopping a threat, but also selfishly avoiding the same fate.

The Main Character is thought to be Madoka for most of the episodes until it is revealed that this is actually Homura's story. Homura, a shy girl who is saved and befriended by Madoka. Homura who becomes a magical girl after watching Madoka die fighting a very powerful witch. Homura whos wish is to be strong enough to protect her dear friend Madoka and gains the ability to stop and go back in time. Homura who has tried and tried to stop Madoka from dying, first through trying to help her in the "final battle", then trying to complete the final battle herself, then trying to prevent Madoka from becoming a magical girl at all. Repeating the month over and over again and never being able to stop Madokas death, in one instance killing her herself in order to prevent her becoming a witch. In fact her repeatitive changing of the timestream results in Madoka becoming more and more likely to be recruited as a magical girl.

Madoka herself in what can be thought of as the timeline for most of the series, is forced to mature very quickly and in the end eventually becomes a magical girl, using her enourmous potential(which got that way because of Homura) to prevent any witches from existing or having existed, ever. She become a law of the universe having recreated it with her wish, giving up her humanity and any memory of herself on earth. However magical girls still are created and still die fighting "being directly from the darkness" in order to gether a different form of energy for Kyubey's people.

Interesting themes to cover and that's not the half of it.

Hmm, New Scenes for "City of Mirrors"

Worked on "City Of Mirrors" a bit, and was surprised that a number of scenes needed to be added.

I was under the impression that I knew exactly how the story would unfold, but i guess it's easier to know what happens when you know what happens..>_<
lol

Hopefully I'll be working on the book somemore soon. ^_^

Pre-Mop time.

The new system is getting hotfixed left and right...rolling restarts have happened almost every day this week.

Right now I've got my:

Priest 85- not doing to much on her, waiting for theramore scenario to open. although i did do the deathwing half of LFR and i like the new system. Healing is a problem unless i'm very responsive, due to cast times.

Druid 83- Still gotta get her up to 85. best Healer i've played so far with the new patch.

Paly 79- Almost up to 80, trying to hit 85 before MoP sonce she's got mining and herbalism. I've also switched her to tanking since it seems to be working much better right now.

DK 66- working tailoring so i can compress all the stacks of Embersilk that we have in the guildbank. Also trying to raise reputation with the Aldor, just hit honored. Tried tanking and it was a hot mess, holding threat is a huge problem.

Warrior 52- Tanking is a problem though slightly better then DK tanking. Leveling with my moms Shaman (51-DPS), which is her new main.

Mage 50- Leveling based on rested-ness. Got inscription high enough to thin out all the WLK herbs from the guildbank. Alchemy is falling behind though.

Warlock 35- Pretty much on hold for now, haven't played since before the patching started. Paired for now with my moms Priest (35).

Rogue 26- On hold, but paried with my moms Paly (19) for now.

Hunter 13- been on hold for a long while. lol

*Shaman 1- currently acting as a place holder for the name i want. when MoP launches I plane on making a Pandarean Shaman.

*Monk 0- Don't have a monk yet, but plan on making a Human monk after MoP launches.

*** Now you maybe wondering why i'm not making a Panda monk. the reason for this is that I expect after the launch to see 2 things happen, lots of people making panda characters AND lots of people going to Pandarea. These 2 things will most likely cause me a ginormous amount of lag.
So in order to avoid lag i planed on making a human monk and playing that for a few days until i felt enough people had gotten the whole PANDAS!! thing out of their systems. Then i planned on making a shaman panda and going to pandarea. ^_^
