He's wrong here, and he's playing move the goalposts by pretending it's about the coffeelovingskeptic's attitude to women/feminisim/elevatorgate. It's not. It's about Rebecca Watson making libellous accusations to 25000 people on twitter, and then refusing to remove them.<br /><br />Seeing PZ squirm and sidestep like this reminds me of nothing more than ID defenders in comment threads jumping to new positions whenever they realise they cant defend the original one. <br /><br />Sad.

Had she been around in the sixties (as I was) and had she been a woman in a "man's job" (as I was) she would have been eaten alive. I have nothing but contempt for weakling women who give the real feminists a bad name. I didn't need anyone like Myers (or you) to whiteknight for me. I got respect the old fashioned way. I earned it. More and more people are seeing through Myers and Watson. They will be irrelevant soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4304574086397404369.post-37840302196329653792012-06-27T22:52:55.898+01:002012-06-27T22:52:55.898+01:00My objection to her initial video was her stating ...My objection to her initial video was her stating that the guy was sexualizing her. I agree, it wasn't the right time or place to ask a girl out, but to claim his asking was purely sexual is pushing it a bit far.<br /><br />I also started doubting her claims after she issued a second video, this time changing a couple of details.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m1sm8z7i0IVirtual Satyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13159699161647297378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4304574086397404369.post-3766993263067924662012-06-27T20:41:09.744+01:002012-06-27T20:41:09.744+01:00"The internet "blew up" because she..."The internet "blew up" because she bullied a young student who disagreed with her about whether guys should, in fact "do that.""<br /><br />A flat lie.

Rebecca Watson has few credentials and no real accomplishments. Unfortunately, Steve Novella was deluded enough to include her on his podcast. She was always the weak link, in my opinion. I think she has become understandably worried about the fact that the skeptical movement has other women who are much more accomplished than she is, and she is no longer the belle of the ball. This is why she flounced from TAM. PZ Myers, likewise, is rather unaccomplished for an academic. I have heard he is quite mild mannered when he is not hiding behind his computer and his band of flying monkey commentators. This isn't surprising. It's a common trait of bullies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4304574086397404369.post-25413306335308121392012-06-27T12:54:28.568+01:002012-06-27T12:54:28.568+01:00Awaiting a response:

RW said something untrue, and after that was shown up, didn't remove her allegation. That's all that needed to happen.<br /><br />The way PZ carried on afterwards with his abusive comments, blocking rampage, and misdirection beggars belief.Tony Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12730775895228912912noreply@blogger.com
