Toward Anarchy and Oblivion

“It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then the dauphiness, at Versailles, and surely never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. . . . I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards to avenge even a look that threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone. . . .
“The unbought grace of life, the cheap defense of nations, the nurse of manly sentiment and heroic enterprise, is gone!”
— Edmund Burke, Reflections on the Revolution in France

The Apostles of Equality and Progress, who have done everything in their power to destroy whatever vestiges of courtesy, decency, loyalty and honor remained in American society, now presume to disavow the Age of Hatred and Violence they have unleashed upon us. What Burke called the “barbarous philosophy” of the French Revolution — whereby “a king is but a man, a queen is but a woman; a woman is but an animal, and an animal not of the highest order” — has prevailed as he foretold, and the horrifying consequences are everywhere.

Lesbian feminist Lisa Needham believes all men are Elliot Rodger:

[T]his might be mental illness, but it is an illness that is not unfamiliar to women who routinely and disproportionately are the victims of harassment, neglect, violence, and death at the hands of men. Rodger’s actions were an extreme manifestation of a cultural view that is not actually uncommon: that women “owe” men attention, that women who don’t put out are bitches, that women who do put out — for other guys, of course — are sluts, and all these women get what they “deserve” — violence from men.

Right. Women are victims “routinely” of “a cultural view that is not actually uncommon,” and a psycho creep who kills six people is just an “extreme manifestation” of this “not unfamiliar” illness.

Marie Antoinette could not be reached for comment.

The chivalry that once inspired “manly sentiment” died long ago, and customary deference has been replaced by raw Power, the only currency recognized in the Age of Hatred and Violence.

Yet the hashtag #YesAllWomen is trending, one liberal describing it as “meant to open eyes to the real problems with the injustice in society . . . instigate change, and open up the eyes of both women and men; women in a show of solidarity . . . men to make a strong statement that these are not isolated incidents we see on the news, but rather, ongoing problems that, if left unchecked, will ultimately lead to a much bleaker future.” Not a word (and probably not a thought) from liberals that maybe how we got into this godawful bloody mess is because fools trying to “instigate change” didn’t bother to think through their radical syllogism to its deadly conclusion.

Los Angeles Times headline: #YesAllWomen: Isla Vista attack puts a spotlight on gender violence — and never mind the fact that four of the six people Elliot Rodger killed in his murder rampage were men: Christopher Ross Michaels-Martinez, 20, Cheng Yuan Hong, 20, George Chen, 19, and Weihan Wang, 20. If the facts don’t fit the liberal narrative, liberals will just ignore the facts, and will bristle with indignation if you dare to point out the cognitive dissonance.

“You have to hand it to the liberals: they never miss an opportunity to convert tragedy into political gain,” and who can disagree?

Ginning up hatred is always “political gain” for liberals, and this is what the hashtag #YesAllWomen is about: Convincing women that men are their enemy. The standard Tweet format is for a woman to say that A Terrrible Thing happened to her because of a man (or men in general) and #YesAllWomen — a slogan framed as a reply to “Not All Men,” which is a feminist pet peeve: Whenever they complain about men in general, someone is always certain to point out that the generalization is unfair:

NAMALT – internet (feminist) shorthand for ‘Not All Men Are Like That’. . . .
NAMALTs usually happen within the context of explaining how widespread a problem is with males; male supremacy; or male violence. If too many women are agreeing that this is indeed a widespread problem with males in general, then one or more NAMALTers rush in, and, well, just NAMALT.
Once the NAMALTing starts, it becomes a tsunami of NALMATing, NIGELs and UNICORNs.
NIGEL is feminist internet shorthand for NIcest Guy who Ever Lived. And Unicorns . . . are apparently these very special pro-feminist men that are shoved at radfems, who are understandably skeptical that such pure creatures exist.

Radical feminists do not hesitate to include all men in their condemnations of the “patriarchy,” and NAMALTing is not allowed:

The phenomenon of NAMALTing is also the phenomenon of stating NAFALT (Not All Feminists Are Like That), ie, not being one of those nasty manhater types of feminists. Yeah sure, we get it. Your ‘feminist’ politics are ‘man friendly’. They are also bullshit. Feminism is the only political movement that prioritises women’s rights and needs above the mainstream (ie male domination). If you cannot do that, then don’t call yourself a feminist.

In other words: No Feminist Can Ever Say Anything Nice About Men.

Understood in this context, #YesAllWomen is a chip on the shoulder, daring anyone to claim not all men are responsible for violence against women — to frame rape and abuse as a collective victimization of women for which men are collectively to blame.

The Apostles of Equality and Progress have brought us here, and the logic of their “barbarous philosophy” leads in exactly one direction — toward anarchy and oblivion. The Age of Hatred and Violence has merely begun, and it ill behooves those who have delivered us into utmost savagery to disavow the handiwork of their labors.

Here’s the good news. Not that you’d think it from watching the news, but violent crime has been on a downward trend in the US and most other Western countries for decades.

The US murder rate is at its lowest level since 1963.

Although it’s true that most murders are committed by men, they’re not routinely murdering women, they usually pick on other men: men are three times more likely than women to be the victims of homicide.

Despite all the #rapeculture apparently going on, rape is at its lowest level since 1976.

Women are safer on average now than when Donny and Marie were topping the charts.

The Patriarchy is doing a wretched job of terrorising women. But the 24 hour news cycle and the feminist echo chamber on Twitter are doing a great job of increasing unfounded public anxiety.

“[T]his might be mental illness, but it is an illness that is not unfamiliar to women who routinely and disproportionately are the victims of harassment, neglect, violence, and death at the hands of men.”

What the hell does that statement even mean? Routinely? Disproportionately?

Are men committing all of these atrocities against women instead of other men?
Do men commit these acts only against women who are already familiar with these abuses?
Are these men choosing to routinely victimize the same women repeatedly and not including other’s?

It sounds like Miss Needham is taking advantage of a terrible situation to further her own agenda, whatever the hell that may be.
It also ounds like a bunch of feminist jibber jabber to me.

Over 50 million abortions and 65% were black while the black population was only 13%. Ms. Sanger was a racist like the KKK never envisioned, she made Adolph Eichmann look like a school boy with her accomplishments. She set up the way to exterminate blacks and have the US Government pay for it with tax dollars.

In San Francisco the stats are more women are abused by other women. Lots of women in relationships with other women find it difficult to end the scene without getting lumps.

The last time that rapist was released by a liberal judge he raped another woman within 60 days. Maybe the Judge needs to be raped a few times to change his liberal perspective.

The point of this leftist gibberish is well put by Lewis Carroll in Through the Looking Glass:

`When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, `it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less.’

`The question is,’ said Alice, `whether you can make words mean so many different things.’

`The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, `which is to be master – that’s all.’

Let history show that as the country was being financially flushed down the toilet, unemployment was out of control, and we were being embarrassed internationally, the Obama Administration and the media turned the people against themselves through the politically motivated focus on Social Issues.

Needham’s complaint that all men are latent woman killers is a kind of bogus complaint familiar to most men as one commonly coming from women who chose their men unwisely and who now over-generalize from the bad sample they have selected themselves: All men are bad because the ones I keep picking are bad. Such women usually gather together in man-hating cliques which amplify their dysfunction and repel decent men from seeking their company.

I was not making light of Ms. Sanger’s atrocities and I don’t think the person commenting as “Margaret Sanger” was either.

That’s the party line, and you’re sticking to it.

Myself, I know enough politicians to know they cover their butts. It’s not enough for them and the people who take orders from them to tell me they did everything they could have done. I would like to know why — even if people thought a rescue mission would be futile — one wasn’t being geared up. Why there weren’t aircraft in the air, or being armed and fueled, or Marines climbing into V-22s, or being briefed. “It’s probably too late” should not have been the reason nobody launched a rescue mission. “It’s too late” should have been the message that caused an ongoing rescue mission to stand down.

And why there was that curious insistence on blaming a video, and e-mails expressly stating that “blame the video” was being done to deflect the appearance of policy failure.

But you’ve heard the party line, and you’re sticking to it.

To the extent that feminism consists simply of the idea that no person should be subjected to artificial restraints because of her sex, I am a feminist.

To the extent it has come to mean other things, I say the hell with it, and them.
