A few points of conflict with Jackie L's (Eilonnwy) article.

[Autumnlicious]

The article is just more of Eilo's misandrist bullshit.

To argue with her about it is like argueing with a theist about their religion. They just want to believe it to be real in order to come to terms with their lot in life. In order to shift blame to another for "holding them down". A man with much greater power, prestige, whatever must have gotten what he has by some perceived priviledges granted by (or forced from) society.

Much like arguing with a theist fundamentalist, there are some things that certain individuals will not back down on. Despite evidence or lack thereof.

I am not ashamed for who am I. I don't have white guilt, and will never have it. Anyone who tries to push that onto me will only get contempt.

Yay white male atheist privileges! Instead of being burned at the stake, we can be beheaded. It's oh-so-much better.

As usual on this subject I find your stance repulsive Tav. You're the oppressive king complaining to the slave that they're not considering your feelings. You need to check your stance and try to approach it in a fair manner. Nothing will come of your bullying tactics other than reproducing the discrimination you are being asked to reign in.

Bullshit. Asking for facts when anyone is posting subjective garbage as their evidence is fair game.

Think about someone writing that "Obama-care is Nazi Eugenics", linking to conservative blogs (opinion pieces). Asking them for what evidence leads them to that conclusion is not just a courtesy, but required.
