Oh my. Today is really Internet stupidity day, isn't it? I try to keep it light on The Twitter but unfortunately got caught in a tweetback with people who honestly think the U.S. gvnt has cures for both AIDS and cancer but keeps them secret because big pharma makes too much money off of people who suffer from these diseases.

Also there aren't Japanese actors so it's impossible to cast them. Or Navajo ones. There's only Adam Beach, so he has to be all Natives.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
And as Tina Fey said, "I don't like Chinese food. It doesn't mean Chinese food doesn't exist."

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I think I have a household interest in that board, Allyson. And maybe so does Hilary Bok, Barbara Herman, and Christine Korsgaard ("she is supreme over all of ethics").

It's Sean Carroll's blog, he reposted someone's effort to parody why philosophy conferences are sausage fests.

Well, the household is reading that now.

Does the household think that an argument based on a bullshit premise is a superdouchey fallacy?
Is Superdouchey Fallacy an official term?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Is Superdouchey Fallacy an official term?
Also, what is Superdouchey in latin?

I guess the problem is he assigns the male domination of some fields to an unspecified explanation. I mean, as far as he's concerned, there's probably a single explanation for all of it. Were you to try to pin him down on one, he'd have no reason to commit to it. Just something about maleness and femaleness that explains all of it, including the rock singers one which is unanswerable (seriously, I've been sitting here for like 30 minutes with no answer to the male version). Anyway the household thinks that a list of female philsophers is way too specific to actually try to defeat the Stay-Puft man that is his point.

But do female philosophers who write papers but do not teach philosophy count? What if they are romantically involved with another academic? We also can not count them.
