giz: fairly certain you are joking, but my thumbs up was to his funny post i quoted about flys inability to comprehend anything posted on this forum even after posting 40k times himself. i wasnt giving an overall thumbs up to everything sput has ever said.

So I do not want to go into old threads, that leaves this part:

Likewise I believe that the tweets made under #yesallwomen only illustrated yet more buy-in to the notion that the role of women is passive inaction in an active world -- female participation in society is measured by the extent to which they are victimized by it. The idea that you can be rude back and tell a rude man to go **** himself was simply a non-element in the stories.

Now I would love to post a coherent argument but I am more disposed to asking questions, even if they are rhetorical sometimes. This one is not:

Why do you ask "wat?"

The seeding is a tough break for Jiggs (15), whom many experts have predicted to be a favorite to finish deep in the tourney. The marquee matchup for this week has to be Low Key (4) vs. spanky (13) --don't be surprised if we see a big Cinderella upset here. Dids (7) vs. Foldn (10) could also be a fun game to watch.

Nichlemn and goofyballer were both eliminated on the bubble, and their fans will certainly be upset that the random number generator didn't give them a ticket to the big dance.

3 of my votes so far are from people with nearly twice as many votes as me in other brackets. Half the rest are people who refuse to believe racism exists or trolls like sputnik, so I'm not exactly fussed. The others are people with <200 posts total or no forum presence. /shrug

Initial ranking doesn't always mean much. Poor #dudebitterly got placed against a guy who only participates on the forum once in a blue moon! and only on one topic.

Low Key/spanky is one of the better matchups this week.

Long read: American literature, the death of patriarchy and adulthood

http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/09/14...html?referrer=

Quote:

The widespread hunch that “Mad Men” will end with its hero’s death is what you might call overdetermined. It does not arise only from the internal logic of the narrative itself, but is also a product of cultural expectations. Something profound has been happening in our television over the past decade, some end-stage reckoning. It is the era not just of mad men, but also of sad men and, above all, bad men. Don is at once the heir and precursor to Tony Soprano (fig. 2), that avatar of masculine entitlement who fended off threats to the alpha-dog status he had inherited and worked hard to maintain. Walter White, the protagonist of “Breaking Bad,” struggled, early on, with his own emasculation and then triumphantly (and sociopathically) reasserted the mastery that the world had contrived to deny him. The monstrousness of these men was inseparable from their charisma, and sometimes it was hard to tell if we were supposed to be rooting for them or recoiling in horror. We were invited to participate in their self-delusions and to see through them, to marvel at the mask of masculine competence even as we watched it slip or turn ugly. Their deaths were (and will be) a culmination and a conclusion: Tony, Walter and Don are the last of the patriarchs.
