There are more than a thousand comments on this thread now (is that an LW record?). This makes it very difficult for newcomers to navigate the threads and arguments. As such it might be worth summarising some of the discussions and splitting them into separate discussion threads.

Why did you not mention PUA? This sucks. No, PUA sucks. This post is almost ok because it is mostly gender neutral. No, it does suck because it is censored. Why is the word ‘rational used?’ Boo! Ethics! Morals! You’re a bunch of one-dimensional stereotypes! Women like jerks—or not. Nice guys are grossly obese and smelly girls—or not. Utilitarianism! I deny Bayes theorem! No, Bayes is awesome, even better than science. You are a rapist. No I’m not. You forgot polygynous relationships under the polyamoury category. Ooh, ooh meta, let’s discuss whether this was good or bad, with polls!
I figure this comment was mostly intended as a joke but it is honestly a useful summary (and a useful overview of some LW memes, especially ones relating to relationships).

On second thoughts let’s not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.

My favorite humor tends to be flippantly sincere. :)
This just saved me so much time.
Do the dangling variable dance! It goes something like this:
I’m a conservative! Dangle dangle dangle dangle!
Abortion is murder! Dangle dangle dangle dangle!
I’m a libertarian! Dangle dangle dangle dangle!
Taxation is slavery! Dangle dangle dangle dangle!
I’m a liberal! Dangle dangle dangle dangle!
Acting confident and suppressing nervousness is rape! Dangle dangle dangle dangle!
Followed by: this thread is lame, everything’s lame.
(“Followed by followed by” coming soon?)
In any case, sing it with me: I respect women when I’m on a date/I take them to the park/or maybe a museum...

If nothing else, I am now convinced there’s nothing to be gained from trawling through the thread.
