Top MILF official succumbs to stroke

Source: MindaNews

MILF vice chairman for military affairs Aleem Azis Mimbantas had a heart attack and died at around 10:25 p.m. in a hospital.

[...]

The MILF is still negotiating a peace agreement with the Philippine government. They recently reached a breakthrough on how the talks would move forward.

The timing on this is pretty bad, since the talks had been stalemated for quite some time.

Sat May 5, 2012, 01:56 PM
May 2012

So yes, it did start out with the subject being the idea that women are potential fucktoilets first and foremost (and politicians, mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, ... people... second).

Seabeyond is going one step further and introducing the male member into this delightful exposition of the level of DU's tolerance for sexism.

(And it'd be nice if the one person attempting to pretend this discussion is about anything but frat boy humor would cease with the disingenuousness. Check the replies. This was not accidental, and to attempt to act as it was is frankly insulting.)

You and seabeyond (thankfully now locked out of the discussion) are making it into something it isn't, and if you weren't trying to threadjack, and club us all over the head with your transparent and pathetic little crusade, you'd be pointing out what the acronym means in the context of the discussion and the OP.

To do that, though, you'd have to be honest about that oh-so-sacred cow of yours, which you and seabeyond both patently are not.

A pox upon both your houses, redqueen. Like i told the other misandrist, I can bear your false outrage with enormous fortitude.

and the claim that the person who posted this did so in innocence and expected any other result is preposterous.

The sad thing is, it actually is at least related to a serious issue. But sadly, we can rely on seeing the kinds of responses which precipitated seabeyond's posts.

And we can rely on most people not giving a crap about the fact that this very behavior is part and parcel of the rape culture we live in.

Using this term about / around any woman, especially if you don't specifically know that they actually appreciate this unbearably original brand of 'humor', sends a message.

The first response was not about the actual story. It was dedicated to making sure women know their place. It enables and encourages rape culture.

You don't like Twisty's word for the way many women are treated, that's why I used it, it still has the power to shock in a culture in which women are mocked as if they were any random woman walking past a construction site, only instead of people calling it out as sexist BS, they all have a nice laugh.

You and whoever else are welcome to engage in whatever frat boy BS you like. I'm done debating it here.

These things happen, and yes, I'm disappointed in the result.

I've both agreed with you and disagreed with you in the past. I've never alerted on anything you've written until today, and I did that because you accused me of misogyny, and because you accused me of being a liar. You're wrong on both counts, and you should feel some shame for slinging vile accusations; I know you won't feel any of that shame, but you've really lowered yourself with the false accusation you made. I think you have demonstrated that you will make things up to support the anger you're feeling, and I have adjusted my opinion of you and your character accordingly.
