Oh, Dilbert, NO

Scott Adams says it's just easier for us all to treat women differently. Like children and the mentally handicapped.

Then, when people called him on his bullshit, he gave us everyone's favorite response (c.f. Anne Rice): We're interrogating the text from the wrong perspective. That is, those of us who are angry about what he said must not be *regular* readers of his blog, who have very high reading comprehension skills (I could not make this up).


Is 9:47 am, Sunday morning, to early to start drinking? Because I think I'm all outraged out.

ETA: He also thinks fossils are bullshit. I... kind of feel better, now, knowing that he's a *complete* loon, rather than just a misogynistic loon, if that makes sense.

Already raged about that first statement of his. Gotta love how he takes it down, clearly willing to attack others but not defend himself.

But that other thing - gah. Fossils are bullshit? Bwhuh? Dude, that interpretations of the fossil record has to be adjusted as we learn new things is not proof fossils or evolution is bullshit. Change in organisms is a fact - don't need fossils to prove it. It can be witnessed in plants and bacteria and you can watch it as it happens. But because fossils are scarce (in relative terms, compared to how much life there has been on this planet), we're basically trying to understand a 5000-piece puzzle from just a few dozen pieces. That we have to move a few things around now and then is not surprising and not a sign evolution is wrong - just that our understanding of how it happened is sometimes off because we don't have enough information.

I just saw your post! GMTA. Also, wtf.

Gotta love how he takes it down, clearly willing to attack others but not defend himself.

Oh, but see, he didn't take it down because of *that* -- he took it down because people in the comments were being *whiny babies*.

(UGH)
