The Brute Reason of a Modern Liberal Feminist

Miriam of Brute Reason describes herself as someone who grew up politically conservative and then had her mind "opened up" in college. Now she uses the power of her reason to battle conservatives and other dimwitted minions of patriarchy. It is useful to examine her very sophisticated manner of arguing. In a recent post she made the argument that feminists do in fact care about the rights of men. This struck as a point worth responding to since, as I see it, one of the weaknesses of modern feminism, rooted as it is in modern liberalism's turn from the universal to group identity, is that it fails to seriously take men into account. This discussion soon involved several other commentators and turned into a round of me being my libertarian self, wasting time better spent working on the dissertation. There was some name calling as could be expected with modern liberals. They lack the theory of mind to recognize that someone could operate on a very different moral system; one that privileged physical harm over all psychological harm and that rejected the initiation of force, including that of the government. I made sure to be very respectful and not use swear words or question the intelligence of anyone involved. Then we got this gem.

You can also just take your nonsense elsewhere without waiting to be asked.

Or you can treat me like a civilized human being the way I have treated you.

I haven’t treated you like a human being? Have I suggested you be caged like an animal? Forced to wear a leash and collar perhaps?

You have continued to insult me even when I have not insulted you. Ask me to leave nicely and I will do so and never come back.

Oh, now you’re trying to teach me manners? Fuck off.

No thank you. Fuck off.

Oh, and also, I’m banning you because you’re a sanctimonious prick and you’re getting on my nerves.

Coming on here to argue philosophy is fine. Coming on here to assert your moral superiority and try to teach me manners is not. Goodbye.

I was wondering when I would get kicked off. Considering that the discussion involved rape, which I see as a form of physical assault and robbery, I must say I find it ironic that someone would suggest I go f--- off. The brute reason of a modern liberal feminist for you. Why somone like Miriam would believe that I would ever agree to participate in a democratic system with someone like her and allow her to use government to take my money is beyond me.
