That's Naomi Wolf -- you can probably guess her ethnicity.

There's also a great debate between her and Karen Straughn online where she is shown to be a polemicist and an utter fraud which is pretty fun.

polemicist

black?

Rohingyan, stupid. I thought that was bloody obvious.

how the fuck would anyone guess that

She's a Jew, stupid.

I got the Rohingyan joke the first time.

I am. I didn't have a clue what you guys were talking about.

It's better that way

I wonder if she has any strong opinions on Israel

Oy vey

I definitely am. This is literally all I live for anymore.

What’s her name

That is the funniest fucking thing I've ever heard

I bet Bill Clinton fucked her PFG style back in the day

I love the fact that Bill's dick is so big, he actually broke it.

Really? I thought it was supposed to be average, but really hooked.

There's a condition where your dick is bent

Usually it's because it literally breaks

It happens more often to dudes with giant dongs because they don't fall out as easily

IE, if you have an 8" cock and some chick is riding you, if she falls off the bed it can break yo dick

similarly, fatrick was under the impression he was a good writer and not a terrible hack

I think part of him knows the truth. Hence the alcoholism and the phony 5-star reviews.

These beer companies are such fucking jizzbags. Those fucking SSSSCUMBAGS at Bartles and Jaymes prey on their customers. It's that addict mentality.

Keep your head up, dude.

Patrick is obsessed with being an author, not creating good work. He's amazed at his own relative success but at no point has he ever tried to make something truly unique or significant. He just gets to play this role.

The first two chapters of his Starship Repo not only fail to provide any sort of narrative hook in that space, but also demonstrate his failure to grasp the meaning of "show, don't tell." The third-person narrator voice sucks ass and makes unfunny jokes while trying really hard to sound clever. And he's fat.

Nice consulting the website, stupid.

It would have taken 5min to Google the phrase "death recorded". The dictionary listing is one of the top results.

This lying insane cunt also falsely accused the great Professor Harold Bloom of harassing her when she was a student of his at Harvard.

​

Naomi Wolf wrote a terrible book called The Beauty Myth in 1990, and that is one of the most influential and important books in modern feminism. And it's complete garbage but mainline feminism took its assertion as truth.

This is no surprise. Most modernist social theory is bullshit based on shoddy data gathering which, via a lack of understanding of statistical methods or just plain lying, always supports the initial hypothesis. You see, modern social theorists can never be wrong, which could be a reason why many people feel like shit these days.

Social science is the least "science" of all the academic sciences.

I dated a professor from a liberal arts college in Portland. The work environment is so Mean Girls. Basically it appears that colleges are very liberal, but a great deal of it is caused by bullies like Wolf, running purity tests on coworkers. And when you've invested your entire life in underwater basket weaving, it's terrifying to consider a life outside of academia.

That's workplace women in every field. I imagine they are just louder and hairier in Portland.

True story:

She had a hairy ass. Like, Burt Reynolds levels of hair. It was seriously one of the most off putting things I've ever had to suffer through. Like, I can fuck a 300lb woman with glee, but you can have a body like a supermodel and a hairy ass is gonna gross me out.

I don't expect for it to be bleached or anything. But I know exactly what you're talking about. I would routinely fuck a girl with a great body in school, but only once in doggie.

When I looked down, I was just kind of locked in a staring contest with the dark hair (she was a blond). The hair won, and I just gave up.

i like that wikipedia article about how NASA bans anyone who holds PRC citizenship from being employed by them as a security measure and if you click on the link to the article of the one guy who called it absolutely disgusting and racist he's been fired from some very prestigious californian university for sexually harrassing and bullying like 8 female students

What a stupid cunt.

That’s why smart people write sci-fi.

That phrase, I do not think it means what you think it means.

Who was her editor? Keith?

hahahaha I love how at the end it was revealed that she was defending a pedo

Of course he was being punished for a serious crime, not an innocent person being arbitrarily punished by the state for their sexual orientation. But a violent sex offender.

It must be weird researching the history of the gay community and having to ignore the rampant child sex abuse and then also crafting this myth that everyone just randomly decided to pick on them. They really are the Jews of sexuality.

Gays aren't all bad, it's just the douches who try to exploit their victim status to attack their largely imaginary enemies and rewrite history in their favor.

Nah most gays are like that, they're aligned on pretty much everything politically and culturally. It's only minorities within that group that devaite.

In her defense "death recorded" is a pretty stupid way of saying "pardoned".

Kinda fits the narrative of those “sovereign man” kooks though.

Even worse than saying Private Blithe, from Band of Brothers, was a southerner (was from Philly) who dies in WWII (1967).

Disgraceful.

She knew it was bullshit she just thought nobody would catch on, also she sounds very yenta.

The reviews from here other books are just as bad. The Shock Doctrine was heavily panned:

The Nobel Laureate and former Chief Economist of the World Bank Joseph Stiglitz wrote a review of The Shock Doctrine for The New York Times calling the parallel between economic shock therapy and the psychological experiments conducted by Ewen Cameron "overdramatic and unconvincing" and claiming that "Klein is not an academic and cannot be judged as one."

Economist Tyler Cowen, who called Klein's rhetoric "ridiculous" and the book a "true economics disaster", says that the book contains "a series of fabricated claims, such as the suggestion that Margaret Thatcher created the Falkland Islands crisis to crush the unions and foist unfettered capitalism upon an unwilling British public."[23] Johan Norberg of the Cato Institute criticizes the book, saying that "Klein's analysis is hopelessly flawed at virtually every level". Norberg finds fault with specifics of the analysis, such as with the Chinese government crackdown on the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989. He argues that, rather than crushing opposition to pro-market reforms (as Klein would have it), the crackdown itself caused liberalization to stall for years.

OMG she said Thatcher created the Falkands War? Wow.

She probably blames Roosevelt for Pearl Harbor then too right?

Also the Tianiman people were protesting the opening of Chinese markets but we're suppressed by evil capitalists following their corporate overlords demands.

Different Naomi, this is Naomi Wolf.

aw shit

Damn you shouldn't have deleted it, it was still good. I'm for making this a Naiomi General Hate Thread.

Reposting what I said:

The Nobel Laureate and former Chief Economist of the World Bank Joseph Stiglitz wrote a review of The Shock Doctrine for The New York Times calling the parallel between economic shock therapy and the psychological experiments conducted by Ewen Cameron "overdramatic and unconvincing" and claiming that "Klein is not an academic and cannot be judged as one. There are many places in her book where she oversimplifies."

Shashi Tharoor in The Washington Post says that Klein "is too ready to see conspiracies where others might discern little more than the all-too-human pattern of chaos and confusion, good intentions and greed".

John Willman of the Financial Times describes it as "a deeply flawed work that blends together disparate phenomena to create a beguiling – but ultimately dishonest – argument."[19]

Economist Tyler Cowen, who called Klein's rhetoric "ridiculous" and the book a "true economics disaster", says that the book contains "a series of fabricated claims, such as the suggestion that Margaret Thatcher created the Falkland Islands crisis to crush the unions and foist unfettered capitalism upon an unwilling British public."[23]

Death recorded should mean death recorded though so I'll give her a pass.

The level of fuck-up here is staggering. Beyond not even bothering to figure out what the term meant - and she would had access to plenty of resources to explain archaic wording and terms (or even a quick google search).

​

Records from even well before the 1800's are pretty well preserved and sodomy cases and suchlike have been -heavily- studied for the last few decades by historians who are looking for some new gender/sexuality spin they can put on subjects that have been studied to death for the last century. It's pretty insane to think you found a bunch of executions no one ever knew about that happened in a recent and well documented time.

​

She was probably just scanning an digitized database of court cases and didn't do the basic level of due-diligence and check how many of these cases resulted in an actual execution - not hard to find at all and an obvious thing to check.

​

It's the kind of mistake you see on undergrad papers of students who try to be more clever than they actually are. Even more pathetic when you realize she probably had small team of research assistants compiling sources for her.

Calling yourself a doctor without a medical degree is SUCH a sign of insecurity.

What a fucking idiot.

Obviously this couldn't be true. If they killed every sodomite on the UK, their male population would have dwindled to zero

Still better writer than Fatrick!

Nice early 90s hair, thumbnail

The epitome of journalism today. Fuck this decrepit looking bitch
