Mental Illness on Parade

Occasionally, I amuse myself by searching for certain feminist jargon terms on Twitter and RT’ing the wacky results. The jargon of feminism is a way for misfits to normalize their own insanity. That is to say, feminists look at the lives of normal human beings and see oppression. It is wrong for us to be normal, happy and successful, feminists believe, because our happiness and success are obviously the cause of their misery and failure. A few examples should suffice to demonstrate how this operates.

You see that it is wrong, according to feminists, for males to be masculine, for females to be feminine, and for heterosexuality to be assumed as a natural and socially desirable pattern of behavior. Therefore, the weirdos and freaks have invented a special vocabulary used to suggest that the normal beliefs and attitudes of normal people are a type of hateful prejudice. This feminist propaganda tactic has the effect of stigmatizing normal behavior while celebrating deviant behavior as a courageous resistance to social prejudice.

Do not be deceived by this propaganda. It is a species of evil, a lie akin to “Ye shall not surely die . . . ye shall be as gods.”

    Ok. This post contains a boatload of crazy (not our host, of course); really too much to deal with when there’s football on. I deal with this later.

    I liked the one from “Dr.” David Ley.

    I use the scare quotes because he’s a clinical psychologist and male feminist, and therefore a quack.

    Also, check out his Leon Trotsky stache, beardlet, and round glasses combo. Very radical chic.

    That green onesie would look cute on my youngest boy. What kind of sad sack would think an outfit saying “I’m always getting picked up by women” is sexualising an infant? And what sort of a mangina would object to “gender binary”?

    Oh – an idiot with a comedy degree who looks like Leon Trotsky. I forgot.

    My little guy doesn’t need me to tell him he’s a boy, he already knows that. Even though he can’t really talk yet he loves fire trucks, fighting, and general mayhem. Baby girls are much more sedate.

    Nah. Special Olympians – God bless em – are trying to rise above their misfortunes, and make the best of the shitty hand life dealt them. Usually with a big smile on their faces.

    These people on Twitter paid good money to get college degrees in this kind of imbecility, and then bought iPhones to tell the world their malicious conspiracy theories about “The Patriarchy”.

    This is learned stupidity. They’d have saved money and achieved similar results if they’d just bashed themselves on the head with hammers. Probably ended up with better personalities too.

    It ‘s very easy to just dismiss this ‘gender binary’ nonsense as kookery on steroids (which of course it is), but consider this: 30 years ago if you told someone that in 2015 a man could ‘marry’ another man they would have thought you were out of your mind.

    I’ve read recently there is a new programme for the public schools being promoted by the Human Rights Campaign… You should check it out:

    Another favorite is this myth of the non-Western land where people aren’t rigid conformists to heterosexual binaries. Where is this land? Shouldn’t they be moving there? If people can undergo surgery and move to New Hampshire what’s the big deal about moving to another country where people won’t oppress them?

    Yet another is where not being disabled is colonialist privilege now. I see that all the time. Who are these mental cases? Twitter seems to be the new mental hospital.

    Lastly, this is the Twitter echo chamber of the science fiction community now. They never shut up about this stuff; coo-coo mental cases and their “allies” and add in white-hating racists.

    The mechanism is always exactly the same whether it’s Anita Sarkeesian, Brianna Wu, Laurie Penny, Jessica Valenti or some nuthatch nobody: these civilizational hoboes practice group defamation against men, heterosexuals and whites, implying any innocent demographic spike in films, books or games is a tacit white male supremacist conspiracy of KKK-like global dimensions.

    Going in completely the opposite direction of logic, any criminal racial demographic spike is also laid at the feet of whites. But a male suicide rate 4 times that of women? Logic evaporates and that is memory-holed.

    Social Justice Warriors especially speak for all people in the world who aren’t white as well, defining them first and foremost as existing in opposition to whites, though the vast majority of the non-Western world don’t see themselves as anything of the kind. In fact SJWs claim to speak for all women, non-whites, disabled and gays.

    When we object to this defamation, SJWs use that as proof we hate women, gays and non-whites. Any pushback is “reactionary” and “right-wing.” SJWs repeat this sorry shit endlessly in mindless repetitive Tweets that go on all day, every day with blog postings to match. They will tell you again and again with one arched eyebrow and a wink how literature is by an amazing coincidence always by and about white cis-men as if we’re Freemasons with a secret language we use to communicate daffy feminists have yet to decode. All they know is it’s there.

    Feminists talk about “rape culture” but their entire ideology is a hoax culture whereby being straight, white and male and even able-bodied becomes a world chock full of Gulf of Tonkin’s and Fort Sumter’s as a casus belli to form brigades, star chambers, protests, segregated cultures that benefit themselves and a whole range of paranoid supremacist mechanisms that tear at our Constitution, laws and fabric which holds society together.

    I checked out that site, and I just want to report to them that my diverse family consists of a Mommy who is a woman, a Daddy who is a man, a Son who is a boy, and a Daughter is a girl. Genetically, and those are the roles we embrace. Plus, we’re all Christians. Where’s the tolerance for OUR family?

    Also, they list a “role” called “Parent or Caring Adult”. I really don’t want my kids around a “Caring Adult”. Who’s that going to be? Kaitlyn Hunt? President of the Harvey Milk Fan Club? No thanks.

    Dude, there are vast legions of lesbians who hate “feminism” because of its theoretical guilt-trips about the reality of lesbian sex lives. That is to say, the butch lesbians (and femmes who love butches) despise the political analysis that condemns them for mimicking heterosexual roles. Despite my official aversion to homosexuality on moral grounds, I am not unsympathetic to them as human beings, and the way some feminists treat lesbians is inhumane. If it suited my purposes, I could write a defense of butch-femme against the feminist advocates of “politically correct sex.” Reads of the “Sex Trouble” series will note that in any conflict between radical lesbians and “mainstream” feminists, my sympathies are always with the former, who are at least usually honest about their antipathy to men and heterosexuality. The “mainstream” (liberal or “pro-sex”) feminists are a study in intellectual dishonesty, deserving nothing but contempt, whereas radical lesbians (crazy as they are) occasionally say things that are true.

    “Gender confusion” means talking about sex as if it were a part of speech. Just because the English language has more than two genders doesn’t mean sex isn’t binary.

    But they admit they’re queer, which certainly describes their logic…

    I dunno: it could be a source of much amusement. I’m thinking that there would be three basic types of answer:

    1. People are mean to gay / lesbian / bi / blah-blah-blah people! By “mean”, they mean that people don’t wholeheartedly embrace these other lifestyles

    2. More gibberish about patriarchy and white privilege. What these things have to do with people’s sexual preferences is beyond me, but they seem to be catch-all terms

    3. HATER!!!

    #3 would, I suspect, be the majority response.

    I think the mainstream feminists seem dishonest because they are taking on a lesbian ideology by proxy; it’s not really their fight, not on the level lesbians start at. The sociopathy and androphobia they then politicize as “oppression” seems to be the common appeal. One can at least make the argument lesbians are discriminated against, which mean mainstream feminists are even more innately hostile than gay radical feminists, and brother it shows.

    Radical lesbian feminists tend to indulge in rhetorical arguments and mainstream feminists more in name-calling, though each claim to speak for all lesbians and all women.

    Oh, great. Now every insecure, overprivileged college student in America can grab a victim card, just by dressing androgynously and calling themselves genderqueer. If this doesn’t mark the point where they overplay their hand, descend into self-parody, and suffer withering ridicule from the entire rest of society, I don’t know what will.

    As long as no one invokes government to force the issue one way or another, that is exactly as it should be.

    Freedom means that people must be allowed to make their own mistakes. The smart ones learn and try again, the not-smart ones isolate themselves from the society that they need.

    We don’t know what will be most effective in ten years. We do know what works reasonably well now. Our job as a society is not to enforce morality, but to let all these choices work out or not.

    Let them prove themselves or clean up their own mess.

    If you have XY chromosomes you’re a man. If you have XX chromosomes you’re a woman. That’s not some heteronormative gender binary, that’s just science. And you don’t want to be anti-science, do you? So you’re not a “woman trapped in the body of a man,” you’re a man with a mental disorder.

    Actually a lot of radfems are honest about being against transgenderism. This has earned them the sobriquet “TERF” from the trannie crowd.

    What do you call it when people act as if normal people are an evil army occupying the world and they’re the noble few fighting back? Imagine a police force formed around phantom oppressions and then imagine an insane asylum. These folks act just like cops; they’re always investigating rapes and harassments. When they find one they all congregate in a swarm and hand out sentences by getting people fired. They’re definitely playing something out in an obsessive manner that is the complete opposite of live and let live. The last one I saw was a guy who didn’t have enough women in a book. That’s true insanity.

    The homosexuals’ not-so-coincidental prominence in the arts, the media and entertainment industries, and amongst the degenerate aristocracy gives them a greatly exaggerated cultural significance that belies their actual paltry numbers…
    The homosexuals and their commie handlers have thus wheedled their subversive ideological influences so far up our collective cultural arses that I doubt we’ll ever be free of them!
    Now that the homosexuals have successfully rebranded themselves as our moral equals, there is no limit to their power!

    What’s amazing about Daphne Patai’s Heterophobia is the gender feminist takedown she did of Orwell as a misogynist some 14 years before. It’s almost like she realized the horror of what she had embraced and did a turn around. In that earlier The Orwell Mystique she cites Joyce Trebilcot and Adrienne Rich and it’s full of the usual mumbo jumbo assassination of men and the shamanistic disinterment of a feared foe followed by a ritual burning of the dead corpse to disperse and discredit his male mojo.

    You’re prime candidates for reeducation camp. In future, you must appear androgynous (for guidance, please see bad Christmas cards with family match clothing), preferably with the same type of haircut and glasses. Further, in public it is preferable to play a “game” with your children in which “Mommy” is called “Daddy” and “Daddy” is called “Mommy.” Alternately, you may use the terms “Parent 1” and “Parent 2” so long as you don’t use them ironically.
