John Hawkins and Self-Inflicted Wounds
Posted on | July 24, 2018 | Comments Off on John Hawkins and Self-Inflicted Wounds
by Smitty
Hawkins brings us “5 Ugly Truths About Women That Young Men Need to Recognize“, and the operator is “young”. You should read the whole thing, lads, but focus on growing up ahead of, rather than through, such self-inflicted wounds.
Let’s review:
1. Beauty fades
It transitions, certainly. but I have seen plenty of women continue to glow right on through wrinkles and grey hair. And it’s not about getting work done and war paint. It’s about taking care of themselves and NOT comparing themselves to the cover of Cosmo.
Men are grey/fat/balding/falling apart, too. Get over it.
2. After your relationship ends, you may be surprised at the ruthless treatment you get
OK, I lived this one. And all I can say is: keep your distance until marriage. The advice I currently give to the young men is to hang out, and have a blast IN THE CHURCH GROUP. There’s nothing perfect about anyone, but what a great noise filter the group can be to keep the actual fun high, and stress low.
Hawkins goes on to explore status, stability, and hatred of weakness. Read the whole thing.
I just don’t think you can make any useful generalizations along those lines. What we’re really discussing here is maturity. While I think I perhaps waited too long to settle down, the key is to ensure that one is morally and mentally mature before getting to the point of committment.
Because that’s what’s at stake: the seriousness with which the marital oath is taken. Now, obviously, skipping out on that oath does not preclude becoming President [Bill Clinton joke goes here].
But you know what’s more important that being POTUS? Having joy under the sun. Avoiding stress. Knowing that, no matter what Southern Poverty Law Center says, you’re an honorable man.
Radical Feminist Exposes #TransCult
Posted on | July 24, 2018 | 1 Comment
It is difficult to exaggerate how radical Natasha Chart’s feminism is. She is chairwoman of the board of Women’s Liberation Front (WoLF), an organization that originated in Deep Green Resistance, which is just about as far left as you can go (without moving to Pyongyang).
It is therefore highly significant that Chart has joined the Hands Across the Aisle coalition, an effort to unite women across ideological boundaries in opposition to The Transgender Cult.
In a must-read article at The Federalist, Chart describes the harassment feminists have endured — including violence and bomb threats — for daring to dissent from transgender ideology:
- Lesbian women have been pushed out of LGBT events and social groups, including groups they founded, for saying they wouldn’t consider male sex partners. . . .
- Many women have been forced to resign, or were fired, like I was, or writers blacklisted, for dissent from a male-centered line on gender identity and the sex trade. . . .
- During Pride month this year, a lesbian was beaten up outside of a drag show for being unwilling to lie about another woman’s biological sex. . . .
- The weekend before London Pride, a small group of lesbians marched in the San Francisco Dyke March with gender-critical signs. They were assaulted, knocked over, their signs were stolen and torn. The march committee and the National Center for Lesbian Rights blamed the victims for the assaults. . . .
- The Obama administration ended the effective right to single-sex accommodations for women in all crisis shelters, prisons, immigration detention centers, and publicly funded schools. . . .
- A trans-identified male who protested the Michigan Women’s Music Festival, as a leader of “Camp Trans,” murdered two lesbians who used to attend the festival, and their son. . . .
- All of us became nearly numb to the death threats, rape threats, directives to commit suicide, doxxings, and calls for women to be fired over gender politics, over social media. . . .
You can and should read the whole thing.
Offending the Easily Offended
Posted on | July 24, 2018 | Comments Off on Offending the Easily Offended
Do I want to defend Trevor Noah? No, he’s not funny and I hate his politics. On the other hand, who is offended by this 2013 joke?
South African comedian Trevor Noah is facing heavy criticism after a video of a stand-up routine from 2013 where he made a joke about Australia’s Aboriginal women resurfaced online.
Australians on social media are now calling for a boycott of his tour scheduled to begin with a performance at Melbourne’s Hisense Arena on August 23. . . .
“All women of every race can be beautiful,” the host of the Daily Show said.
“And I know some of you are sitting there now going, ‘Oh Trevor … I’ve never seen a beautiful Aborigine’ But you know what you say? You say, ‘Yet.’ Because you haven’t seen all of them, right?”
Is that offensive? To whom? Aborigines, perhaps.
According to the most recent Australian census, there are fewer than 700,000 Aborigines, about 3% of Australia’s 24 million population.
Because I’ve never been to Australia, and have no plans to go there, my opinion about Aborigine women’s beauty (or lack thereof) is moot. If you’re a world-traveler who greatly admires Aborigine women, OK, but opinions may vary. What’s so outrageous about Trevor Noah’s joke?
Isn’t it the suggestion that beauty is not distributed equally among women? That some women are more fortunate in this regard than others? And that beauty is a generally desirable quality?
Trevor Noah could have made Peruvian women or Mongolian women the punch-line of his joke, to the same effect, and the perpetually offended would still scream in outrage. The very idea that women vary in beauty, and that men notice this, is sexist objectification, according to feminists.
Pandering to the social-justice mobs is Trevor Noah’s stock-in-trade — he’s made The Daily Show about as funny as a Rachel Maddow monologue — and so of course, he rushed to apologize:
@joewilliams_tew you're right. After visiting Australia's Bunjilaka museum and learning about aboriginal history first hand I vowed never to make a joke like that again. And I haven't. I'll make sure the clip from 2013 is not promoted in any way.
— Trevor Noah (@Trevornoah) July 22, 2018
Henceforth, Trevor Noah will ask the SJW overlords for prior permission to joke about anyone who is not a white heterosexual male Republican.

Crazy People Are Dangerous
Posted on | July 23, 2018 | Comments Off on Crazy People Are Dangerous
Canadian authorities identified the gunman who killed two people and injured 13 others in a lively Toronto neighborhood Sunday night as 29-year-old Faisal Hussain, whose family claimed had suffered from “severe mental health challenges.”
The Special Investigations Unit of the Ontario Provincial Police said a member of Hussain’s immediate family and a “family representative” confirmed the gunman’s identity.
Moments after Hussain’s identity was released, his family issued a statement to multiple media outlets saying he had been “struggling with psychosis and depression his entire life.”
“The interventions of professionals were unsuccessful,” the statement read in part. “Medications and therapy were unable to treat him. While we did our best to seek help for him throughout his life of struggle and pain, we could never imagine that this would be his devastating and destructive end.”
Authorities say Hussain fired a handgun into restaurants and cafes in Toronto’s Greektown neighborhood before dying amid an exchange of gunfire with police. A 10-year-old girl and an 18-year-old woman were killed.
If the deranged gunman wasn’t named “Faisal Hussain,” feminists probably would have blamed toxic masculinity.

UPDATE: Christine Estima, a Canadian who has written for Vice (e.g., “The Friend Zone Isn’t a Thing and Women Don’t Owe You S–t” and “Men, Here’s What You Can Do to Stop Street Harassment”), didn’t wait for the Toronto gunman to be ID’d to hashtag #ToxicMasculinity:
Twitchy: “So by white men she means Muslim men, and by toxic masculinity she means psychosis and depression. But otherwise, dead on.”
Four Illegal Aliens Kidnapped and Raped Ohio Sisters, 13 and 14, Police Say
Posted on | July 23, 2018 | Comments Off on Four Illegal Aliens Kidnapped and Raped Ohio Sisters, 13 and 14, Police Say
Three of the four suspects accused in the Ohio rape case.
There is still a nationwide manhunt for two of the suspects:
Four men accused of kidnapping and raping a 13-year-old girl and her 14-year-old sister at a local hotel were indicted [July 12] by a Wood County grand jury.
Juan Adiel Garcias Rios, 19, was indicted on three counts of kidnapping, four counts of rape, and four counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor for the incidents at an East Wooster Street hotel, which occurred between June 25 and 28, according to the indictment.
Arnulfo Ramos, whose age is unknown, and David Ramos Contreras, 28, both were indicted on two counts each of kidnapping, rape, and unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, while Simon Thomas Simon Juan, 24, was indicted on one count each of kidnapping and gross sexual imposition.
Bowling Green police said they were called to Wood County Hospital just before 11 p.m. June 28 on a report of two sisters who said they had been sexually assaulted. The teens told police they were staying at a hotel with their mother when they were held against their will and raped.
The incident occurred at the Days Inn where the men were staying for work, Wood County Prosecutor Paul Dobson said.
U.S. Marshals later arrested Mr. Ramos Contreras in Lubbock, Texas. Mr. Simon Juan was arrested shortly after the incident and is scheduled to be arraigned July 20 before Wood County Common Pleas Judge Matthew Reger. The other two men are still at-large.
Two of the suspects “had fraudulent immigration paperwork or identifications,” police said, and all were believed to be in the country illegally. Ramos Contreras had previously been deported in October 2017.
Do you think this story will encourage Ohio voters to support Democrats calling for the abolition of ICE? Because I kind of doubt it.
