You see if what sticks?

OMG! I hadn't noticed the name. So that is she herself, Mizz John Edwards blogging feminazi, eh? With her prissy, disapproving glare, unmoistened narrow lips and fake empathic laugh when Mr Foster mentions "slowly, painfully" gravitating towards a love interest.

Yeah, I'm sure Amanda Marcotte can't relate to that at _all_.; 4/19/11, 1:59 PM

vbspurs said...: How is it that I make a clip that includes absolutely nothing of what Marcotte says, all you guys want to talk about is Marcotte?

Let me put it this way: if you link to a video of Charlie Manson and some other dude talking about global warming, chances are we're going to make a beeline to talk about Manson.

Marcotte is just too radioactive to ignore.; 4/19/11, 2:24 PM

Synova said...: Ah, okay then.

My comment on this (having just, finally, read Pride and Prejudice) is that what he's complaining about (if he realizes it or not) is that we do not have a formalized or understood courting ritual in our culture. There aren't set expectations so that everyone knows what they are supposed to do to even find out if they have an interest in someone or not.

I agree.

It's as though you have to decide before you so much as say hello that this is forever.... or... you get drunk, hook up, and see if it sticks.; 4/19/11, 2:27 PM

Or any other sex you're of a mind to mention.; 4/19/11, 2:33 PM
traditionalguy said...: Marcotte has no audience from me. The anger at her for once being on the wrong side must linger a long time around here. But she has had her 15 megabytes of fame. Today's theme seems to be sex and the human striving to have sex. I vote in favor of sex. I recall God's first mission given to Adam and Eve after doing a full day's gardening was "... be fruitful and multiply".; 4/19/11, 2:34 PM

I think conservatives reserve their harshest disdain for people, like Amanda, who have no apparent talent or achievements yet seem to get near the spotlight.; 4/19/11, 2:34 PM

"How is it that I make a clip that includes absolutely nothing of what Marcotte says, all you guys want to talk about is Marcotte?"

Heh, first, her name is directly above her blogging head, and second, she has been a magnet for criticism on this blog before. Thirdly, the innuendo and rejoinder you provide for the thread is rife with opportunity for tangential 'analysis'.

Or, more simply put, you could have had a game of 'Which of these things doesn't belong here', which, for a person such as Ms. Marcotte, seems plausible from a hetero male perspective.; 4/19/11, 2:41 PM

Huh. I've never had drunk sex. Nor was I ever pressured to drink by the chap. No wonder all my dates went from first-date to serious in two meetings...; 4/19/11, 2:47 PM

Heh. ;-)

I never hardly drink and certainly not in college (and I've been married ever since.) So... no drunk sex.

I did, one time, have a sort-of friend of mine start telling me how beautiful and wonderful I was when *he* was drunk. Really drunk. And totally didn't remember it the next day, which was probably good for him. Didn't make me inclined to try it myself, though. I *value* my repression and inhibitions, thank you!; 4/19/11, 3:16 PM

Yes, that's why secular liberalism puts so much emphasis on the "rights" to contraception, abortion, and sodomy--everything that is anti-procreative. Together they are modernity's "Non serviam."; 4/19/11, 3:24 PM

For the same reason that if you included a clip of a debate in which David Duke participated, we would want to talk about David Duke.

Marcotte should be shunned by polite society. She's a sick and evil person.; 4/19/11, 3:58 PM

Now that their accuser has herself been arrested on murder charges, you'd think Marcotte would at least be shamed - if nothing else - into retracting what she said about the Duke students.

As for the other guy, he's too ugly & too old to be talking about sex on campus. I'm sure he got shagged -in the day- but they probably looked like Amanda.

Oh, and he writes for National Review, the *conservative* magazine.; 4/19/11, 7:04 PM
rcocean said...: We probably obsess about Amanda because of what she said about the Duke Rape case, to whit:

“Your beloved boys who scream “nigger” at black women and joke about killing and raping them may escape the worst charges, but they are not angels. You know it, we know it. That you defend them makes you such lowly, sleazy scum that it's no wonder no one talks to you. They're afraid by acknowledging you, they will catch the evil. Know this. Absorb it. Hope you enjoy sleeping at night, you sick, hateful bastards.[16] ”

And:

“In the meantime, I've been sort of casually listening to CNN blaring throughout the waiting area and good fucking god is that channel pure evil. For awhile, I had to listen to how the poor dear lacrosse players at Duke are being persecuted just because they held someone down and fucked her against her will—not rape, of course, because the charges have been thrown out. Can’t a few white boys sexually assault a black woman anymore without people getting all wound up about it? So unfair.

I'm surprised she hasn't been hired to replace Miss Manners at Slate.; 4/19/11, 7:11 PM
