I miss this thread and all its wonderful misanthropy.
Peeve: When people say that one prejudice is "worse" than another, e.g. "racism is worse than sexism". Bullshit. Prejudice is prejudice.
Peeve: People who espouse political correctness but still manage to avoid, you know, actually talking to people who are different from them.
Peeve: People who think that women have already achieved equality with men, and as such, feminism is "taking it too far".
Peeve: People who claim that the reason women are still under-represented in various spheres of influence is because, well, they obviously want it that way.
Peeve: All forms of essentialism, really. And the "evolutionary psychology" mumbo-jumbo that comes with it.
