RationalWiki's 2019 Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff – we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

If everyone who saw this today donated $5, we would meet our goal for 2019.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Donations so far: $2900Goal: $6000

Lady Corvex, LucidFox, a few long gone ones: Pretzel, Teresita, Pippa. TyCarnival time. 22:25, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
Dammit Ty, I'd forgotten about Teresita/Mega. SophieWilder 22:26, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
I get bored, I read archives. ;) TyCarnival time. 22:30, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
If you want REALLY obscure: FeiRuoWa, Brielle. TyCarnival time. 22:33, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
Not that interested in obscure or people who didn't edit/help with articles, etc. if they were here just to fuck with CP, they aren't really the voices I'm trying to highlight. sadly we have very very few women editors.
Isn't that true of the internet as a whole though? How does RW's female to male ratio compare with other wikis? and where's RWW when you need it? SophieWilder 23:02, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
Don't know, but i think that's the entire point of this article. it is low representation. people do want more. and the question i show do you do that?Green mowse.pngGodot She was a venus demilo in her sister's jeans 23:14, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
sadly we have very very few women editors. Well invite some. This isn't a boys club. Acei9 00:40, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

It's a bit hard to justify why you need your own "special rights" when you control the government of every single country in the world. Just saying[edit]

Why shouldn't men feel as proud of their own gender as woman? It isn't hard to justify at all. I am a man. I like being a man. I am proud to be male. I don't think of woman as anything less or more than equal. I call bullshit. Just sayin' Acei9 22:31, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Men's rights groups set out to say "women get special treatment, and it must stop". then they falter in the face of facts. Being proud that you are male. Being honored that your heritage is German. Enjoying the heck out of being straight and having good ol straight sex and love! Saying you love being a Christian is quite different than saying "those other people are raining on my parade, cause they have special rights", simply because they are trying to gain equality. Men's rights groups are not people proud to be men. They are people threatened by women, because women are taking power men once held simply by having a willy. But I'll look over what i said, see if there is a way to reword it. Men do hold the majority power in every single country in the world, even where a few have elected a female president or prime minister. it's not exactly a wrong sentence.Green mowse.pngGodot She was a venus demilo in her sister's jeans 22:52, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
I still call bullshit. Your comment about the balance of power being a male majority I have no argument with but your assumptions about "men's rights" are over-generalised, hyperbolic and reactionary. Get a grip. I don't give a shit about gender and I'll bet none of our RW community do either. Acei9 00:02, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
Oh bite me, Ace. You are clearly missing the point, and you do that somewhat intentionally. We have articles here about the very thing I'm talking about. men's right's groups. We've dealt with trolls. WE deal from time to time with our own discussions around the place about feminism, men's rights, etc. and we have not, by and large, fallen pray to the "Feminist v. MRA" that has gone on at a variety of sites, yet we document it. Of course people care about gender. Actually, lots of the RW community does, thank you very much.Green mowse.pngGodot She was a venus demilo in her sister's jeans 00:05, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
I still call bullshit. You are being hyperbolic and over generalist. It's aking to calling all Christians homophobes because of Westboro. I love being a man, I have my male buddies and we are a tight knit group of men being men. But none of us treat woman as inferior. You got a problem with that? Acei9 00:38, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
Regardless of who's right or not, it's wrong to speak for the entire community. Ace, your ego is not the entire RW community, you can't speak for 'everyone.' Neither can Godot. But the fact that the site doesn't seem to be infested with people ripping into those articles and being butthurt MRAs, the fact that WIGOs laugh at idiot antifeminist garbage all the time without being torn down for 'off-mission' reasons, suggests that this site at least gives some portion of a damn about gender studies and gendered oppression. Godot has her argument and there is evidence for it; you bring your evidence that 'no one cares' before you assert that no one cares. If your only proof is your ego, get out. ±Knightoftldrsig.pngKnightOfTL;DRfree guybrush threepwood! no new taxes! down with porcelain! 00:52, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
ahhh yeah. Acei9 00:57, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
For the record I am not a proponent of Men's Rights. Acei9 01:16, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
And for the record, i'm not speaking "for the community". it's a blog, and essay. I'm speaking for me. I'm saying we are nice to women here, or at least as nice as we are to men. We jack eachother, but it's usually about dicks and penises anyhow, if my memory of the major last "headless chicken moments' turned out. I like this place. A LOT. for that very reason. There's nothing wrong with keeping eachother honest, either. sayign "is that really what you want to say".Green mowse.pngGodot She was a venus demilo in her sister's jeans 04:38, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
Would you feel better if I started posting pictures of vaginas? I can do that if you want. Acei9 06:36, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
Ace, Nobody cares about how many pictures of vaginas you've collected. This evasive bullcrap is not endearing, it's getting annoying. Please either further assert that you have a problem with all of this, or concede and lay off. This is simple. Be a contributing member of the discussion, or don't. ±Knightoftldrsig.pngKnightOfTL;DRwalls of text while-u-wait 15:46, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
Fuck off Knight, I'll speak when I fucking want I care nothing for how annoyed you are. Acei9 03:28, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Me![edit]

Me! I am female! You forgot meeeeeeeeee. :-( Refugeetalk page 02:28, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

Oh no! I'll let David know, as i sent it off to him already. :-)Green mowse.pngGodot She was a venus demilo in her sister's jeans 04:36, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
