Journal by aristarchus

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! -takyon

The 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!

    Shit yes there are differences. People seem to think equality means identicality though, which it doesn't.

    On the other hand, just about every man I've seen saying this is using "why u mad lawl I'm jus' sayin' there's differences!" to actually mean "bitches ain't shit." So you'll forgive us if we get a bit twitchy when we see people make unqualified statements. And we're not dumb, so based on past interactions we can usually tell what a guy means when he says some variation on "there are differences between the sexes."

    If anything, the reason I'm not a TERF is because I acknowledge these differences. If I thought gender was entirely a "social construct," whatever the *fuck* that means, I'd be TERFing it up with the worst of them, because I have *not* had good experiences with transwomen thus far, only knowing one who isn't a complete basket case.
