Yeah, child abuse is a fair description

of this "I'm raising him to be a Feminist!" bullshit.
We discussed how the frustration Ken feels at being left out of fun in Barbieland mirrors how women and other minorities feel in America today. Together, we laughed about Barbie and Ken’s trip to the “real world” and the Mattel corporate headquarters, where only men sit in the boardroom. I assured my son that it’s OK to feel slighted and want to be in charge. It’s understandable that after his return, Ken leads a revolt and tries to rewrite the Constitution to put Kens in power. I get it: I’m pretty mad there are only four female Supreme Court justices and a female vice president.
Etc. ad Bullshit.

Makes you wonder if she's tried to push him into the 'You're actually a female gender!" crap?

This has nothing to do with helping kids; it's all about attacking men

One more insane, bigoted 'feminist' heard from.
A feminist professor at California State University-Fresno recently published an article lamenting that federal programs to promote "responsible fatherhood" among vulnerable men in fact perpetuate "patriarchy," "gender norms," and "hegemonic masculinity."
Translation from feminist bullshit: "This actually wants men to be FATHERS, not just male units who shut up and do what women say!"
Because who cares if kids do better with a father and mother?  The real priority is trashing men.

She laments: these programs "reinforce patriarchal ideology" by encouraging "hybrid masculinity," which encourages low-income fathers to be "emotionally engaged," and perpetuates the myth that mothers "cannot compensate" for the lack of a father.

These programs aim to "reshape men’s gender identities in line with a type of hegemonic masculinity focused on well-paid work and family breadwinning," she laments, claiming that they "legitimate patriarchal power."

I officially can't handle any more of this bullshit tonight.

Wonder how many losses like this it'll take for universities to get the idea

that railroading students isn't a good idea?  No matter how woke it makes you feel.

But they love to whine about "Why don't people trust us?"

In ten years of studying violent encounters and learning everything I could about every shooting I could, I never once found a newspaper article that got all the facts right. Usually they weren’t even close. In that same time period I offered free training in Use of Force to reporters or detractors, and never once had any of them take me up on it.
Part of a piece Correia did on use of force; well worth reading.


"Stop calling yourself a feminist unless you say what we tell you to!"
One more reason I have that 'Nutcase-level feminism' category. 


Victims of a mass shooting perpetrated by organized government are just as dead as victims of a mass shooting perpetrated by a lone nut. Adopt the broadest definition of “mass shooting” that you want (e.g., three victims wounded, one killed). Add up all the mass shooting deaths from lunatics, organized crime, jihadist cells and ordinary criminals. The global, historical total of mass shooting deaths will be gruesome, and it will also be small compared to the total of mass shooting deaths perpetrated by criminal governments — including Fascists, Communists and non-ideological tyrants.


I shall now continue with getting some stuff cleared.  See  you later

And if you call this the idiocy that it is,

you'll be labeled 'anti-intellectual', and the reason the country is in trouble.
Two feminist geographers are encouraging their colleagues to be more mindful about citing the research of white males because doing so contributes to “the reproduction of white heteromasculinity of geographical thought and scholarship.”
This isn't amazing, it's idiotic.  And racist.  And misandrist.  But it's PC racism and misandry, so the other leftists will defend and support this crap. 


Public Education: "Your kid is learning too much, we can't have that!"

"This movie doesn't fit my demands, therefore it's against women!" Or something.

We’re told that the female lead “does nothing to challenge modern-day racist beauty standards”.  Uh, I wasn’t aware that that was a fucking requirement.  Here’s a novel concept, Diana is a fucking GREEK.  Which means she’s not black, or Indian, or Asian, or… fill in minority here.  Shit these folks complained when a woman that wasn’t Asian played the role of a ROBOT in a Movie based on a Japanese comic (in the comic the robot was very much Anglo, but it was an excuse to whine, so they took it).
...
She wants to know why Diana couldn’t be a woman of color, or a “fat, thick and short body type”… UH because they were trying to stay somewhat true to the legend and the comic book?  Because AMAZONS aren’t black fat short thick women? (because 1) being Greek, 2) living a Warrior culture in a subsistence economy, that is probably near the point of hunger if not starvation on a bad year, there isn’t enough food to get fat?)  DEAR GODS to the ancient Greeks and predecessors the height of pulchritude was a heavier woman, precisely because they were so rare, and if you were fat, that meant you were RICH.  She (the author of this rag) then uses the excuse that “linebackers are fat, and no one doubts their athletic ability”.
Um, linebackers are BIG; I doubt there's much fat there.  But bringing that up probably makes me a 'ist' of some kind.

I find myself wondering how hard they're looking.

The police inspector in charge of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) investigations in London said the Metropolitan Police still does not know where young women and girls are being cut and disfigured.

Inspector Allen Davis’s comments came as the NHS revealed there were nearly 5,500 new FGM cases reported to hospitals, clinics and GPs in 2016.
...
Since 2012, the number of FGM referrals to Mr Davis’s team has increased from 29 each year, to 20 each month.
I may be doing them a disservice, but after all the crap that's come out after Rotherham and others, and the emphasis after a terrorist bombing on "We must stop any hate crimes, that is a priority!", I doubt it.


Because the shrieking harpies will never be satisfied
Unsatisfied with ruining the career of Drupal developer Larry Garfield over his private sex life, social justice warriors within the programming community have started another witch hunt against LambdaConf speakers. They’ve targeted Ed Latimore, an African-American physicist and heavyweight boxer who spoke at this year’s event.

The Colorado-based programming conference has been resistant to efforts by leftist activists to push a censorious “Code of Conduct” designed to silence speakers over ideological and political views that do not align with the progressive left.


As I recall, this hypocritical bitch was one of those who crapped their pants in outrage when someone said that Obama's daughter shouldn't chew gum during a press conference she was part of.  Because "Leave the kids alone!"
Kathy Griffin told Vulture at the Equality Now Gala Tuesday night. “For me, that’s Trump and all things Trump. It’s not about trying to be an equal-opportunity offender anymore because Hillary got such a beat down. It’s his turn. So I’m happy to deliver beat down to Donald Trump — and also to Barron. You know a lot of comics are going to go hard for Donald, my edge is that I’ll go direct for Barron. I’m going to get in ahead of the game.”

Why yes, she does get paid for this

By juxtaposing feminist posthumanist theories and feminist food studies scholarship this article demonstrates how eastern fox squirrels: (1) are subjected to gendered, racialized, and speciesist thinking as a result of their feeding/eating practices, their unique and unfixed spatial arrangements in the greater Los Angeles region, and the western, modernist human frame through which humans interpret these actions (Deckha 2012; Hovorka 2015; Lloro-Bidart 2016) and (2) ontologically defy society’s boundedness as they demand the freedom to eat whatever they choose in the city.


It appears Zuckerbitch has a soft spot for Stalin.  Wonderful.


When they slip and tell you what they really think:
Pai said that eliminating Title II net neutrality rules would benefit places he has traveled to, such as Parsons, Kan., Elverson, Pa., and Cadillac, Mich.

Sources inside the meeting told the Free Beacon that Eshoo was frustrated with Pai's comments. She wished out loud that Pai would stop talking about "Podunk, USA" and instead be more concerned about the venture capitalists on Sand Hill Road in her district near Palo Alto, according to the sources.


Anyone surprised?

Vegan diets, devoid of meat, fish or dairy, can lead to 'devastating' health effects and, in the worst cases, death.

Children following vegan diets are 'leaner and smaller' than children who eat meat – or even those on vegetarian diets which allow milk, eggs and cheese.

...

Experts note that vegan diets can be perfectly healthy – but they can cause serious health problems if pursued without precautions.

A lack of nutrients such as vitamin B12, calcium, zinc and high-quality protein can lead to 'irreversible damage' to children's nervous systems or malnutrition, experts warn.

That hating Jews, according to a bunch of current 'feminists', is a required part

of 'feminism' tells you all you need to know about these clowns.
Palestinian feminist/activist Linda Sarsour says you can’t be a Zionist *and* a feminist. I disagree.

The question is this. Many Muslim countries perpetrate atrocities against women which include: female genital mutilation, forced marriages, child brides, systematic abuse of women by the justice system, revenge rape and honor killing. Why is Israel held to a standard none of these other countries, whose offenses are more extreme – are held to?

I can’t believe I am being asked to choose or even defend my religious, historical and cultural identity. The “left” needs to reexamine the microscope they use to look at Israel, and we all need to take a step back and remember we are stronger together: women, men, lovers of peace, and lovers of freedom and justice.
Except that a bunch of 'feminists' have decided that the evil Joooos- excuse me, Zionists- are the enemy of a protected species(who'd enslave, rape, and/or kill all the feminists, but they ignore that), therefore 'Death to the Juice!'

Morons.

One of the bigshots of the 'Women's March'...

Because nothing says "Woman Power!" like sharia law.  And posing with terrorists.


Pretty much, yeah:
It was not an isolated incident. Denice was the third American killed by illegal immigrants in two years in just one small central Massachusetts community.

The former governor of Massachusetts, Deval Patrick, could never remember Matthew Denice’s name. A Democrat candidate for governor in 2014 (Don Berwick) breezily dismissed the horrific crime as an “anecdote.” And just last week, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh told a radio audience he had no idea who Matthew Denice was.

Do you know who does know Matthew Denice’s name? The president of the United States, Donald J. Trump.

And that is yet another reason why he is president, and these shameless Democrats are wandering in the political wilderness.


1: Oops.
2: Bunch of dirtbags in black robes need all the publicity they've earned.


Last year Democrats were more than happy to take rights away from Americans based on a list created to supposedly stop terrorism. Of course that was convenient for them because any opportunity to disarm Americans is a win in their book.

She could've titled it "It should have been obvious Obama doesn't like Jews"

and been more accurate.  And after seeing who he nodded his head to the speeches of for twenty years in that church, who with a brain was surprised by it?

Could also have thrown in "He doesn't like the US, either."


I might argue with a couple of points in her post, but overall this is exactly why a lot of women no longer say they're a 'feminist'.  And why lots of people think feminists are effing nuts.
A Western liberal feminist can, on the same day, take part in a slut walk to protest Western women being judged by their clothing and accuse anyone criticizing the niqab of Islamophobia. She can demand the prosecution of a Christian baker for refusing to bake a wedding cake for a same sex-couple, and condemn the planning of a Gay Pride march through a heavily Muslim area as racist. Many intersectional feminists do not limit themselves to the criticism of other white, Western feminists but pour vitriolic, racist abuse on liberal Muslim and ex-Muslim feminists and LGBT activists. The misogyny and homophobia of Christianity may be criticized by all (quite rightly) but the misogyny and homophobia of Islam by none, not even Muslims. The right to criticize one’s own culture and religion is seemingly restricted to white westerners (The best analysis of “The Racism of Some Anti-racists” is by Tom Owolade).


I looked up the article she links to; it's a good one.  Includes
Because inherent in those terms is a sinister implication: ‘if you disagree with how I think a brown person should think, you’re still a nigger’ – a slave subordinate to the interests of white people. ‘If you disagree with me, you can’t be thinking for yourself’ is the message. 

Notice how clunkily it removes agency – depersonalising and dehumanising in turn. Notice how its implications are both racist and arrogant. Racist in supposing that your racial identity should dictate how you think and what you think, rather than being contingent on those two factors. And arrogant in supposing that ‘only blacks who agree with me are doing so out of their own volition’. The idea that a person of colour can disagree without being conditioned to do so is too objectionable to these anti-racists.


Tom Kratman on ways to make SJBs and leftists in general lose what's left of their minds.

There are cases in which 'feminism' is a mental disease,

and this is a prime example.
There were two parts to the feeling: I had to mourn the life I thought I was supposed to have, the elder daughter of my two girls (why do we plan things we cannot control?!), and I had to come to terms with having a relationship with a son that I had never really considered. There were dark moments in the middle of the night (when all those dark thoughts come), when I felt sick at the thought of something male growing inside me.
She had the boy, and came to terms with it.  But those terms...
Raising a boy who maintains the status quo sure would be easy, but I refuse to be satisfied with that. I will raise a feminist boy. Just like his father and grandfathers before him, but even better. I will point sexism out to him at every turn, and he will never get away with it without being called out. I will show him that girls are just people like him and that products and art targeted at them are no less valuable or enjoyable. He will be immersed in feminism by a family who models it in their everyday life.
That poor little bastard is probably screwed.  He's going to have every perceived failure of males pointed out- hell, shoved down his throat- until the day he escapes.  Or dies.  But it's all good because 'He's male, and must be made right.'

Remind anyone else of that bit from Captain Mal?
Sure as I know anything, I know this - they will try again. Maybe on another world, maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, ten? They'll swing back to the belief that they can make people... better.

Somehow I don't think it helps matters to complain that women and minorities

can't handle the scientific method.

I can't excerpt from this, it's just too painful.  This kind of crap is why I have a label of 'Nutcase-level Feminism'.  Just go read it.

I don't care who did the study, when their reaction to "We'd like to see the data"

is to throw fits and accuse people of threatening them, they're telling you there's reasons why they don't want anyone else to see it.

And the reasons generally mean "Our study is crap, and we don't want anyone to prove it."


So the question for Comey still remains "Were you paid-off, blackmailed, or just too chickenshit to do the job?"

'Trust the FBI'.  Right.


This is, bluntly the most stupid fucking thing I've heard in quite a while.  And Mary Brundage, you are a fool, at best.
According to New York Magazine's Jesse Singal, on March 25, 2015, Associate Dean of Students Mary Brundage told student Katerina Klawes who had been sexually assaulted and was seeking counseling "it is important that you refrain from discussing these issues with other students and use the appropriate resources listed below. If you involve other students in suicidal or self-destructive thoughts or actions you will face disciplinary action."

And Klawes wasn't the only one to receive such a warning. As recently as summer orientation 2016, incoming freshmen were told that talking about self-harming was prohibited, according to FIRE.
Order people who may desperately need to talk to others not to; yeah, that's a GREAT idea!


Today I'm coining a new term: effeminists. These are misguided (if not malicious) women who have an agenda to emasculate men and erase masculinity from our culture. They have progressed beyond "feminism" and into "effemininazation" of what historically and culturally had always been sacrosanct: little boys being nurtured and encouraged to develop and grow into well-rounded and healthy men. It was always the job of mothers to makes sure their baby boys left the nest in 18 years and made their way in the world as men they could be proud of.

Not anymore. Some moms seem preoccupied with scoring political points by turning their little boys into little girls and cutting them off from masculinization.

Question is, is this something new

or is it just being reported now?  Probably like here in the US, a mix.


'Feminism' in action.   The toxic version that ruins lives.


When the 'news' changes what someone said.  Because "We know what he really meant."


Apparently, to Vox and Politico, since there weren't a bunch of bodies left behind, no big deal and don't get all upset.


He REALLY struck the squealing pig, didn't he?

"THEY'RE GUILTY IF WE SAY THEY ARE!

THIS 'INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY' CRAP IS A TOOL OF THE PATRIARCHY!"
Except when someone accuses them.  In which case they'll demand that 'until proven guilty' and 'beyond reasonable doubt' stuff.
The Tennessean reports that the unnamed accusers say the system used by public universities across the state

is unfair because it provides students accused of sexual assault the right to attorneys and to confront their accusers through cross-examination and an evidentiary hearing in front of an administrative law judge. The administrative law judge who hears the case is appointed by [Chancellor Jimmy] Cheek, the lawsuit says.

And they want a payoff, too:
The plaintiffs are seeking damages including reimbursement and pre-payment for all of their tuition and related expenses incurred as a consequence of the sexual assaults, as well as damages for deprivation of equal access to the educational benefits and opportunities provided by UT. They’re also seeking damages for emotional suffering. The lawsuit also is seeking an injunction that would force the state to stop using the administrative hearing process.
And a pony.  They forgot to demand the pony each.

Yeah, it's been pointed out before: the bad guys are acting like conquerors

who haven't yet made it official.
Here’s what I think is going on: The refugees are acting as they are, not because they see themselves as charity cases, but because they see themselves as conquerors. They know perfectly well that one doesn’t defecate in a pool in which people (especially children) are swimming. They’re doing it because they are performing the literal equivalent of the expression “I don’t give a shit about you.” They know you’re not supposed to rape women . . . that is, unless those women are the products of conquest, in which case raping them is one of Mohamed’s commandments.

It’s almost funny seeing Europeans trying politely to teach their conquerors how not to treat those whom they have conquered. I wonder how long it will take before the Europeans figure out that they’re no longer in the driver’s seat. And then I wonder whether they’ll be able or willing to mount a counter-strike, or whether the twelve-hundred year-long Islamic jihad against Europe will finally have succeeded.

Let's see... something that's already illegal under federal law is considered a 'major concession'; they really want to give McAuliffe some cover, don't they?


Just how much power do bird cuisinarts use just to keep themselves operating?


Apparently feminists are so delicate and unstable that they should be in homes, or institutions, where all the things that offend them can be screened out.

Sen. Feinstein really is a nasty little Stalin wannabe

who hates the 1st as much as she does the 2nd Amendment.
But, no matter, Feinstein continues to insist that these publications are illegal and should be wiped from the internet. And, now, suddenly, she's afraid that net neutrality will block her from getting her wish of unconstitutionally banning books from the internet. Which makes her wrong on multiple levels.


Short version: she lied her ass off about 'no classified e-mails', she's still lying, and if someone other than a rich & connected politician had done this they'd probably be in a cell already.


"White feminists are sucking the air away from colored feminists, and they need to shut up.  Because their experiences are NOTHING compared to ours!"  Etc.
"We're bigger victims than you are!" is the argument that is supposed to trump all among social justice bullies.

Yes, it must be the RIGHT KIND of villain

and with these clowns that generally means 'white, male, preferably some flavor of Christian'.
We want wealthy white males with blond hair high-fiving each other as they torture some poor girl who was just trying to get an education. The Middle East is resplendent with these scenarios, but the guy usually has a funny hat on instead of Richie Rich hair. Here in America prison tops the rape charts, but that’s men on men, and men are gross. Firmly planted behind the prison-rape stats we have black-on-white rape clocking in at tens of thousands a year (unfortunately, the white-on-black rape stats are negligible). That sounds racist. Women were getting gang-raped en masse at spring break this year, but that was mostly blacks too so no thanks.
Much like that idiot writing for Rolling Stone looking for a rape somewhere(made-up was fine) at the right kind of campus(even if the rape never actually happened) involving the right kind of bad guy(white male frat members).

Progress!

But it’s not just Estonia that’s hiding behind an armor of troops and tanks. At the same time, Operation Lightning Strike brought out 3,000 troops in Lithuania, while Operation Dynamic Mongoose included another 5,000 in the North Sea off Norway. It’s Europe’s latest show-and-tell of military capability, which, in a reversal of a trend that has lasted many years, is increasing dramatically.
Well, between Russia practicing low-level warfare and this administration stabbing allies in the back, is anyone actually surprised?


Why is CNN going down the toilet(and why hate on guns/gun owners so much)?
Because the NYeffingTimes rules.  And they're too lazy/stupid/bigoted to go against it.


I'd heard of  DeRay McKesson before; he's one of the people who WANT to start a race war.  Happily, word of just what a slimeball he is is getting around.

Which won't matter to the Only Black Lives Matter people.


More and more, I wish Arizona had gone ahead with that recall of John McCain, 9/11 or not; the damage he's done in the years since...
During a July 23 interview on the Lars Larson Show, Senator Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV) said that in June he “submitted an amendment” to the 2016 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) “to give military base commanders the authority to allow service members to carry personal firearms.”

That was weeks before the heinous attack on Chattanooga, but he says the amendment went nowhere because Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) “didn’t want the amendment as part of the bill and wouldn’t accept it.”


I ran across this the other day:
DEARBORN, MI - The Muslim-majority City Council of Dearborn has quietly passed a new ordinance to ban the sale of alcohol within the city limits, also making the very possession of the substance a crime with a mandatory one year jail sentence and $6,000 fine if convicted. 
Problem is, I cannot find any mention of such a  measure being passed anywhere else.  Anybody heard anything on this?


Well, 'Hysterical Womens Studies' does fit a lot of it
