    If Katy Perry were a man she would have been driven out of business.

    #TIMESUP: Katy Perry accused of sexual harassment by a second person.

    If you’re a feminist, you have to take the allegations against Katy Perry seriously.

    “If Josh Kloss was a woman and Katy Perry was a man, his accusations would be all over the news and Perry would be off the radio. But that’s not the case.”​

    Left-wing privilege.

    You accuse the public of differences in treating men and women.

    And then you blame that on "left-wing privilege"??



    Tell me about specific steps taken by the right wing toward promoting gender equality and security.

    Very good points. Our environmental efforts should focus on real hazards like cleaning up old mines, leaking drums of old radioactive waste, plastics in our oceans, farm and and industrial chemicals in our waterways, soils and ground water, smog and so forth.

    BULLY, PUT IN HIS PLACE: Michael Mann, creator of the infamous global warming ‘hockey stick,’ loses lawsuit against climate skeptic, ordered to pay defendant’s costs.

    That decision took 8 years and the costs are in the millions. He still has a case against Mark Steyn which has been in court for years now.

    There is nothing to equalize. Men and women are perfectly equal in today’s society. The only remaining differences are biological in nature.

    Exactly. There is no pay difference for equal work.

    I thought the Steyn case had been thrown out.

    Nope, been languishing in the DC district court for 8 years. May go to SCOTUS.

    Maybe SCOTUS will throw out hate speech? I’ve read Steyn’s and it’s accurate. Man that Mann is sensitive. :hiding:

    Looks like it was a straight up fraud.

    IT’S ALMOST AS IF HE HAS SOMETHING TO HIDE: Michael Mann Refuses to Produce Data, Loses Case.

    The UN used his figures to try to push global pacts agreements and laws, and the dirty son of a bitch won't share his data so we can prove it's reproducible, and this is supposed to be science?

    Dr. Tim Ball wrote that climate scientist Michael Mann “belongs in the state pen, not Penn State.” Mann’s famous “hockey stick” graph that purported to show a sudden and unprecedented 20th century warming trend. The hockey stick featured prominently in the IPCC’s Third Assessment Report (2001), but has since been shown to be wrong. The question is whether it was an innocent mistake or deliberate fraud on Mann’s part. Mann sued Ball for libel in 2011. The court in British Columbia has dismissed Mann’s lawsuit with prejudice, and assessed costs against him.

    Dr. Ball asserted a truth defense, that the hockey stick was a deliberate fraud, something that could be proved if one had access to the data and calculations, in particular the R2 regression analysis, underlying it. Mann refused to produce these documents. He was ordered to produce them by the court, refused, and the court dismissed his case.

    The rules of discovery provide that a litigant must make available to opposing parties documents that reasonably bear on the issues in the case. It is absurd for Mann to sue Ball for libel, and then refuse to produce the documents that would have helped to show whether Ball’s statement about him was true or false.

    Looks like Mann's data would have supported Ball’s claim that the hockey stick was a deliberate fraud on Mann’s part.

    Read “The Hockey Stick Illusion” and “Hiding the Decline”. Mann’s dishonesty in full disclosure. And still today he is an alarmist hero.
