Whoever asked the question about Baba Yaga being a liar?

Question

I see your question was removed for obvious reasons. If you're not a coward, I'm still waiting for you to back up your assertion. How do you figure that Baba Yaga is a liar? I'd like to see some sources, too, if you don't mind. She always seems to have them.

Rain, you are too right. I think it all comes down to cowardice here. I don't get why people have to put people down in order to try to prove a point.

Alexandra, no one here is making any personal attacks. That's exactly what we are calling out, personal attacks without warrant. I'm just so sick of people making assertions without providing sources or proof. If you've got nothing to back up your statements, you have no place on Yahoo Answers.

And, I don't know about you guys, but Baba Yaga rocks. So many women seem to put her down. I ask, why put down your sister? (before anyone starts saying "she's not MY sister," consider the following : She's a woman, too. So, she's you're freakin' sister.)

izzib, if you want to insult Gloria Steinem and say that she contributed to the degradation of women, PLEASE supply some evidence for us. We'd all love to see it.

Baba Yaga, I know you didn't report him. I agree that he probably took it down because he was expecting people to rally around him, but that backfired!

mr q, There is no reason to get deffensive. Does it bother you that some women feel a bond for other women because we endure the same things? Perhaps this makes you uneasy because the best way for women to be seen as equals is for them to see each other as equals. Oh, no! We can't have that! I suggest that you keep your insecurities to yourself, lest you reveal your prejudice.

Answer 1

Cowards and abusers never back up their nasty and deceitful assertions. Avoiding responsibility is the name of the game. It's simply malignant character. I wouldn't expect much....other than more denial and 'crazy making' conduct. Some of the allegations on here simply border on the bizarre.

EDIT:
Chevella, they don't have point to prove in the first place. It's just empty and nonsensical drivel - their only intent is to control and abuse. That's it, that's all.

EDIT:
Alexandra, back up your accusatons please instead of doing your never-ending passive-aggressive slap and dash. Many have proved you wrong on so so many occassions - so why can't you can't meet the challenge? Start following-through with your arguments instead of cowering behind your fellow male abusers. Yuk.

Answer 2

There are plenty of examples and I could go through her posts, but I really can't be bothered. Anyone with a reasonable mind already knows the assertion is true. Looks like other posters have come up with examples just fine as well. Your question has been pwned already.

But, let's deal with what the question asker was more than likely talking about. Original assertion of Baba Yaga being a liar was mentioned here:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AuK8F.xnuWj6faY6LiIJTpgYxgt.?qid=20070313164039AAv8QrI

QUESTION: Question about feminism : "i watched the womens movement in the 60s, they shouted we want equality"

Babayaga- "The women's movement didn't become organised in any tangible manner until 1968. For this reason your claim that "i watched the womens movement in the 60s" cannot be true."

Asker- "baba yaga is a liar"

1) 1968 - end of 1969 is the 60s.
2) National Organisation for women was incepted in 1966, add two more years.
3) The book credited with starting the 2nd wave feminist movement, the feminine mystique was published in 1963. Add three more years to that.

Looks like the 60s is pretty well represented to me.

4) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seneca_Falls_Convention

The Seneca Falls Convention, held in Seneca Falls, New York on July 19 to July 20, 1848, was the first women's rights convention held in the United States, and as a result is often called the birthplace of the feminist movement.

Also note her reply was based on a ridiculous quibble that was hardly constructive.

Baba Yaga is a liar.

Answer 3

Is it not also cowardly to say women are the likeness of supreme beings and men are just lowly creatures to be trampled upon. All you women out there who seem to have a problem with men need to grow up. They are not the enemy. There is no enemy. As soon as you all stop complaining they will stop with the macho crap. Being called a discriminatory bigot will put anyones back up and thats exactly whats happening here. Look at Betty Friedan. She didn't say men were the enemy but rather the source to elevating ourselves. She even criticized Gloria Steinem for being a radical feminist! Gloria Steinem did nothing but produce a sexual revolution which degrades women socially and economically. It doesn't solve anything and only makes matters worse. YOU all need to get your facts straight.

Answer 4

The question was removed because this is not a forum to use questions like that to harass women. These questions should be used to empower women not to humiliate and denigrate them. The fact that Baba is a strong, courageous woman who stand up bravely to the pack of jackals that is constantly attacking her integrity is pretty amazing. I as a feminist would never sit back and allow another person whether that be male or female to be attacked like this over and over. People like Cassius, Happy Bullet, Smially, and Alexandra constantly feel the need to bully and post hateful messages towards her. This should not be tolerated in any area and I will not stand back and allow this to happen without defending her and others that are defending the rights of others. In Baba's case she doesn't stand for the rudeness and childish accusations that are levied against women every waking moment on answers. Does this make me a feminist? Hardly. What they makes me is someone with convictions towards what is acceptable behaviour towards others and the line has been crossed far to many times in the past in this particular forum.
Thanks for bringing this up and I am glad their are women like yourself Rain, Wendy and countless others who refuse to be silenced. For to not speak up makes you as guilty as those who are committing these wrongs.

Answer 5

I examine Baba Yaga in a e book of Russian Fairy thoughts whilst i became somewhat lady.She is a witch who lives in a hut it rather is propped up on a hen-leg on the sting of a dense woodland.She usually helps the stable babies who're sent to the jungle via their depraved step-mothers, yet she eats up the depraved, egocentric babies who're mean and vicious to others.

Answer 6

WTG, Chevella.
Now that they cannot conquer Baba Yaga with their BS rants, the Trolls have resorted to name calling.
As more of us here in Women's Studies continue to assert the truth, more of the Trolls will fall by the wayside.
As for Alexandra, "she" is a female impersonating Troll.
Good luck

Answer 7

I looked back over his questions, and Babba answered one where she corrected him on a basic historical fact. He called her a "liar" without ever bringing any evidence of his own to the table...I guess it embarrassed him a good bit. So he retaliates like a child, and makes ludicrous, unsupportable statements in the form of a "question." A lot of that going around...

Answer 8

you realy need to stop calling other women your "sister" because that m,eans you are not being an individual and you are confroming to the social construct of feminism. and it looks like you have to identify with a label in order to establish and identify your sense of self. i would never do this. i dont like baba yaga like many others on this forum. she is very hypocritical and it seems she actualy documents comments that she uses sout of context in order to prov her point. and in order to see my proof just look at her answer.

Answer 9

they just want to believe she's lying. they want to believe that they are 100% right 100% of the time, and don't want to accept that they are actually self-righteous bigots who over generalize & form negative stereotypes of people. someone along the same lines as that guy (i don't remember who exactly, but the attitude was the same) called me a liar for using an example from my life to show that his assertions were not always true. it's like they put their fingers in their ears and go "lalalalalala.. i can't hear you.... lalalala" like little children.

Answer 10

Funny how the previous two posters accuse people of something they're guilty of doing themselves...!
