et tu, Greta?

To be fair, I'm unsurprised which side Greta Christina would come down on.  What I did find surprising is that she's somehow managed to miss, near as I can figure anyway, the conversation that's been going on.
So, let's see how Greta decides to bend the facts to meet her ineluctably proper conclusion, shall we?

A shitstorm in which many men, including Richard Dawkins, have argued that this is a trivial issue, or even a non-issue: that it's ridiculous for women to be cautious or fearful when they're propositioned by a strange man in a strange country alone in an elevator at four in the morning;

DlandonCole Endorses Sexism â la Rebecca Twatson?

So, yeah. Apparently, not only was what Rebecca Twatson said reasonable, it was imminently appropriate to have said.
Here's his video:

And my response video:

Twatson Story, Abridged - Rare Footage!

I have managed to come across some video of this past weekend's ordeal. This is a meeting among Abbi, Rebecca Twatson and Richard "The Dick" Dawkins.  The whole story is summed up in just a few seconds, without further ado, here it goes!

Rebecca Watson delenda est [update]

[edit: if you per chance could, make sure to tweet this to Rebecca Twatson. For some reason, I can't seem to quite find her on twitter anymore. Can't imagine what caused that.
[edit 2: bwahahaha ]
Ok, I can confirm that the Rebecca in question is indeed Rebecca Watson. So, here's the full story:


Rebecca was given at some point in time moderator privileges on JREF's forums. Thereafter, she either created a sock account or used an old sock account and got caught. So, she was suspended from their boards for about a month.

Ceterum Censeo Rebecca Twatson Esse Delendam

[edit at bottom]

Yes, the title is Greek to me too!

This post will not be amusing, and you're welcome for that.  It's easy to parody someone who so readily provides an endless stream of fodder. But this is a significant issue which requires--at least in my estimation--resolution.

Until recently, I have somehow or another managed to remain perfectly ignorant of the existence of one Rebecca Watson of skepchick notoriety.  Why?  I don't particularly notice talking heads of no consequence.  If I have before the last month or so happened across her, she's apparently managed to be sufficiently useless to leave with me a memory.  My specific and explicit purpose is to start a campaign to have Rebecca Twatson excluded from the selection of people who are paid to speak at our events.  Her presence is a net drain in time and money.  To make it clear:  to have her at any event speaking by invitation entails the expenditure of her speaking fee, and the reduction in my attendance fee.
