You have to be a complete idiot to think Tf00t doesn't genuinely take pleasure into starting a war with feminists. Curiously I haven't seen many supported claims by him b sides some idiotic analogies like "Preventing rape is similar to locking your house's door lock". Thinking

Bullshit! Talk is cheap. Cough up a single citation.

Check his video on "teach men not to rape" and there's a part he compares preventing rape with locking your house's door. I'm not required to provide proof you can easily google since you're so familiar with Tf00t

Too many to list for me, but I'll have a go.

Steve Shives, Creationist Cat, Hugo and Jake, AronRa, donexodus, dprjones, HappyCabbie, desertphile, WildwoodClaire (who has the best music on YouTube), Thunderf00t, Amazing Atheist and the Drunken Peasants, Edward Tarte, Edward Current, Cristina Radd, QualiaSoup, everyone at The Atheist Experience, and many others too numerous to mention.

Non-YouTube: Richard Dawkins, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Daniel Dennet, Lawrence Krauss, Sir Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Christopher Hitchens, Stephen Fry, Ricky Gervais, Jimmy Carr, Tim Minchin...

Do I agree with everything they say? Not in the least. Do I have to?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

They're deceased -- George Carlin, Isaac Asimov, Rodney Dangerfield, Ernest Hemingway, Claude Monet, Charlie Parker, and Ted Williams.

Living: Bill Gates, Ira Glass, and Julian Assange.

Here: Mr Agenda and Cato, both no-bullshit guys who will take the time to explain their position when called-for, and will bitch-slap a post when needed.

Sure, you're not here for rational discussion and debate, you're here for unfounded character slander... gotcha..

Here's the Link to the video.

Can you point out a message of his that is false?

Thunderfoot is too analytical for most because he likes to flesh out small pieces of misconception close to pillars of commonly accepted truths so that too many people misconstrue his pinpoint message with a huge brush of assumption.

The entire video is based on bullshit. He points out no relevant data on how to prevent rape. And he compares the average rapists with psychopathic predators that are the minority and not relevant. Can you point out where he speaks the truth? Thinking

Wow, did you think his video was an attempt to teach people how to prevent rape???
It isn't at all. It's simply a critique of the fallacies of the methods that many feminist propose. You've greatly misunderstood the video. There is not a single statement in the video that is even suspect as far as I've seen. You seem allergic to examining the evidence.

To the OP:

My Son. He's 5, and he's a brilliantly charming Atheist who understands right from wrong without the slightest hint of religious pollution.

As for the Atheists on this site, There are too many to list. Different bones are tickled by different members and the kinds of posts they produce. I truly enjoy the diversity of people we have on this forum.

So which fallacies and methods are being refuted? Because I see nothing wrong with the idea of educating society to not commit crimes, it is the only way we will ever lower criminality - Either that, or we can execute them all, obviously. What he deems as "taking precautions" is something that is already done and most times it doesn't help preventing harm.

Still I'm not interested in discussing this - My point was that Tf00t is one side of the spectrum criticizing another opposite side and that eliminates all possible middle moderate ground between people - And eventually he picks every thing feminist related and bashes it, most of his videos for some time have been about that. He should go back to science exclusively. These ideological fights are boring.

I am a women and a rape victim and I strongly disagree. Thunderfoot is right.

1. Rape is never right.

2. Prevention is something women should be taught just the same.

Dressing provocatively where it is dangerous is stupid. Looking or acting like a victim is stupid. It's as stupid and flashing cash in a dark alley or leaving your doors unlocked. Getting mugged when flashing cash doesn't make theft right, but it does make the victim stupid.

Yes, there are societies and parts of society (professional and college sports for example) where rape is winked at. That's wrong. But women should be taught about the dangers of bumping shoulders, let alone showing thighs and cleavage to such society.

And I've since gotten off at the wrong stop in the wrong dress. I will tell you that body language can be a life saver. Don't ever act like a victim. It's the ticket to being one.

The advice he gives in his video is good advice.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
