Yet another aristarchus submission has met it's appointed fate. Nothing surprising, but, there was a non-blank rationale field, highly unusual!
We're sorry, your submission "This online comic shows how pick-up artists morphed into the alt-right" was declined for the following reason:
All hail the Supreme Gentleman! -takyonThe editors felt it inappropriate for them to correct the issue themselves. Please feel free to correct the issue yourself and resubmit.
Of course, I think the entire point was that these are no Gentleman, and the Red Pillars need to get themselves over to The Art of Manliness website. And apparenty, this includes one of our more prolific editors? Cause for pause, Soylentils! What are we part of, here!

I look at this again, and it could be mistaken for transphobia. So let me be clear so that the Germaine Greers of the world won't be tempted to run with a half-assed analysis that has the logical conclusion of refuting second wave feminism, placing woman back upon the pedestal as the exceptional gender. (Postmodernism I think is not capable of dealing with pedestalization.) The thesis in effect here is patriarchal transphobia, which seeks to coerce the female spirit (of trans women) into male spiritual form. The negation of the thesis is postmodern not-transphobia, which seeks to coerce the male spirit (of cis men) into female spiritual form. Thus again we seek the negation of the negation to get ourselves out of this mess. Of course, I am limited here to those assigned the male gender at birth and did not try to generalize.
Ok, stick a fork in me—I'm done.
