So Michelle, via email and in her blog, directed me to this entry on Philosoraptor.

This is a clear and funny critique of Kim du Toit's pussification of the western male essay. The Philisoraptor commentary is long, but well worth the read. Here's a sample:

Here’s another textbook fallacy (note: sounds like “phallus,” but means something different. And, although I know you think that using a phallus makes you smart, using a fallacy does the opposite.) This fallacy is called the “post hoc fallacy” from post hoc ergo propter hoc. That’s Latin, which is an old language that smart people used to use. It means after this, therefore because of this. See, what you are saying is that government got bad after we foolishly started treating women as if they were human beings, letting them vote and suchlike. So, since it happened after women got the vote, it must have been women’s voting that caused it. Textbook fallacy. Oops...I meant: textbook fallacy, dumbass.

Like that? I did. Go read.
