About Yassmin

I haven't really paid that much attention to her - just as I find it easy not to read opinion pieces by rude feminists like Clementine Ford, who wingnuts similarly obsess over.  But I did think the reaction to Yassim's ANZAC Day tweet was completely over the top and out of proportion.  However, that Guardian column she wrote about cultural appropriation was extremely self indulgent, and it may well be that her Muslim apologetics re feminism  are semi to fully ludicrous to many ears.

But it's surely the case that it should be possible for someone like her to be both attention seeking, hold annoying opinions, and wrong in much of what she writes, yet still not warrant the vicious obsession of aggro wingnuts in attacking her.  I might be wrong, but I strongly suspect that she probably has received scary death threat type of messages.   And don't say that Andrew Bolt has received them too as if that makes it right.    Neither of them deserve that.

You're a gullible dunce, JC, when it comes to climate change. A headline at WUWT about a "study" by a few well known denialist amateurs, and you're convinced.

As for Yassmin being fat, pass the comment onto your wife, will you, and see how she feels about it? Were you down with the Michelle Obama was ug-ly Redneck meme, too?

Ad homs don't make arguments. They're just ad homs. Either offer an intelligent rebuttal or pipe down.

I don't like the racist insinuation you're making. It's very ugly and suggests more of that sort of thing is going on in your mind. I said she's fat and unattractive, which has nothing to do with race (your reference to Mrs Kenyan). I never talked about Mrs.Kenyan's looks. She's okay but also needs to lose a few kilos.

Ford is also overweight and quite unattractive. She should convert to Islam as the sack would cover it all up like it mostly does with that other shyster.

There seems to be a connection with overweight European sheilas converting to Islam. I think the sack has a lot to do with it.

Yes, Mrs Waleed Aly is a real ugly porker, hey JC?

Don't bring your Catallaxy level stupid male drivel over here. Keep it there, with the aged, depression and anger prone set. Seriously - every day I worry struth, cohenite and Tom, at the very least, are in danger of some sort of anger implosion at any moment. SRR is just a brain washed nut, but then so is Kates.

So exceptions now make the rule, Stepford?

Stop imposing rules because you don't like a discussion. It's very modern day leftist. Next up, you'll be telling me this is a safe space.

SRR is just a brain washed nut,

USSR is insane and I mean clinically insane.

JC never talks about female who have weight problems at Catallaxy, wonder why?

Yasmin doesn't and is a good looker but like JC has no brains.

I just loved how so many 'right wing 'commentators said her anzac days were disgraceful but became as dyslexic as JC as to why they were.

Oh yes, because Paxton is a judge in miss world comps.

LOL

Paxton, I really want you take take an IQ test. I'd be happy to pay for it. I reckon you're below 70.

not trampis said...

only taken one and got 142

not trampis said...

JC tells us about an article in WUWT. Obviously he has an IQ of less than 70

Steve said...

Near genius level?

not trampis said...

yes Steve but one test proves nothing.
Amazingly few people have a number of IQ tests usually just one so the result is as meaningless as mine

Steve said...

I wonder if Jason has ever done a test. (I'm betting he'll comment on this eventually!) I never have...

Jason Soon said...

Yassmin is not the antichrist just an irritating attention seeker who's actually not doing her causes any good by arguing in the most easily parodied terms.

Yes I've done a few of these online IQ tests with scores that are usually around the 140s.

I can't believe Homer could have scored that high unless he did them over 20-30 years ago and is an ex alcoholic

It was one of those tests administered to toddlers using shapes and blocks. He managed to scrape through it with a pass.

Paxton is an idiot. That's settled science.

Her comments about ANZAC were absurd. ANZAC is about people who were fighting to save other people, refugees are fleeing to save themselves. The comparison was ridiculous and she wonders why she copped a hammering over it. She even played the race card. I watch The Drum, interesting to note how prior to that incident they regularly had Muslim representatives on the panel. That has dropped off now but they may be the result of Julia Baird a few months ago taking one such representative to task over women's status in Islam. I agree with the Right, political correctness is too often invoked to silence dissent. The race card ... .

She didn't deserve all the abuse but that is the environment these days. If people are going to use free speech just to vent their emotions instead of engaging the argument it is not free speech it is a refusal to reason.

I think she's an unintelligent airhead who shoots her mouth off without any thought behind it. The comment that Islam is the most femine religion is a good example.

not trampis said...

Sorry John but I knew aq lot of veterans including my old Dad and They would be aghast that this Country is not protecting refugees fleeing for their lives and tyranny. I wrote as much at the time.
She was spot on on what the Anzacs were fighting for.


You could well call her the female JC

I'd stick you on a departing boat without a moment's hesitation, Paxton. Libya can take you.

Yes JC she is the female JC as you show all too well
