Feminists Plan to Sue U.S. Education Department Over Title IX ‘Gender’ Policy
Posted on | August 10, 2016 | 3 Comments
Women’s Liberation Front (WoLF) is a radical feminist group founded in 2013, and they are furious about the Obama administration’s manipulation of Title IX to conform to demands of transgender activists:
Women’s Liberation Front (WoLF) is suing the U.S. federal government in order to challenge the recent dissolution of Title IX protections for women and girls in education. (Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 protects women and girls from discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs or activities that receive federal funding.) Since its legislation, Title IX has formed the bedrock of equal educational opportunity in the U.S., necessitating countless reforms to raise the level of opportunity for female persons in an attempt to match what had in the past only been afforded to males.
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and Department of Education (DOE) recently enacted a policy redefining the legal category of “sex” in Title IX to “gender-identity.” The DOJ and DOE was empowered to make this change based on the premise that it does not constitute a substantive reinterpretation of the original legislation. Women’s Liberation Front disagrees with this premise, asserting that the change presents a radical departure from the core of the legislation’s meaning and function, writing on their fundraising campaign page:
“This [redefinition] effectively renders Title IX meaningless, as females can no longer be recognized as distinct from males. Indeed, Title IX, the legislation used to champion the very creation of female sports, is now being used to dismantle them, as male athletes demand access to female teams, dominating the competition.
The reinterpretation of ‘sex’ to include ‘gender identity’ also means that girls’ bathrooms and locker rooms must be opened up to any male who ‘identifies’ as female. Girls’ rights to personal privacy and freedom from male sexual harassment, forced exposure to male nudity, and voyeurism have been eliminated with the stroke of a pen. Schools that do not comply with the demands of any male student to access protected female spaces will now lose federal funding.”
Two days ago, Women’s Liberation Front launched a gofundme campaign to cover the legal fees for bringing this challenge to the courts. The campaign has already raised over $5,000 in donations.
When I say WoLF is a radical feminist group, I mean hard effing core. They don’t just hate men, they hate God, capitalism, America and heterosexuality, not necessarily in that order. Their “principles”:
WE BELIEVE…
That female humans, the class of people called women, are oppressed by men under a male-supremacist system called patriarchy.
That patriarchy is organized around the extraction of resources from female bodies and minds in the service of men, including reproductive, sexual, emotional, and labor resources.
That gender is a hierarchical caste system that organizes male supremacy. Gender cannot be reformed — it must be abolished.
That we are enmeshed in overlapping systems of sadistic power built on misogyny, white privilege, stolen wealth, and human supremacism, and all of those must be dismantled.
Not just crazy, but kuh-RAAAY-zee!
Nevertheless, these radical man-haters are exactly right about the Obama administration’s “gender identity” scam. The transgender lobby — bankrolled by billionaires like James “Jennifer” Pritzker — has spent big money to get what it wants, and the Democrats are giving it to them.
However crazy radical feminists may be, they are right that the difference between men and women is about biology, not politics, and they know that America’s daughters are being sold out by liberal Democrats.
Maybe one day they’ll wake up and realize capitalism — freedom! — is better than being enslaved by an all-powerful federal government.

Following SJW ‘Ghostbusters’ Disaster, Next Feminists Will Ruin ‘Oceans 11’
Posted on | August 10, 2016 | Comments Off on Following SJW ‘Ghostbusters’ Disaster, Next Feminists Will Ruin ‘Oceans 11’
The feminist desecration of Ghostbusters will lose $70 million for Sony Pictures, according to current estimates. The misconceived and badly executed political travesty opened at #2 at the box office its first week, but dropped rapidly to #5 the second week, #8 last week and is likely to fall from the top 10 by next week. Although it has made back its $144 million production budget, the massive publicity blitz for Ghostbusters made $300 million the break-even point and, with current estimates of a final worldwide gross of $230 million, that means Sony lost $70 million on this expensive, overhyped, hateful anti-male propaganda film.
There will be no sequel to the SJW Ghostbusters, but Sony’s feminist failure won’t prevent Warner Brothers from trying the same trick:
The “Ocean’s Eleven” reboot is getting even more interesting, thanks to the addition of more A-list cast members. Deadline reports that Anne Hathaway, Rihanna and Awkwafina are in negotiations to join previously announced Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Helena Bonham Carter and Mindy Kaling in the female-led version, “Ocean’s Eight.” The picture is still casting the eighth person.
The film will be directed by Gary Ross and Olivia Milch is penning the script. No plot details have been confirmed by Warner Bros., but previous reports stated that the film is a continuation of the George Clooney-led franchise, with Bullock playing Danny Ocean’s ex-con sister. Blanchett, who will be the equivalent of Brad Pitt’s Rusty, is supposedly her right-hand woman. The premise is that they will form a team to steal a necklace from the Met Ball in order to frame a villainous gallery owner. There have also been talks of cameos from the stars of the original movies.
Warner Bros. confirmed that they would start production on the film in October in New York. “Ocean’s Eight” will be produced by Steven Soderbergh with Susan Ekins as executive producer.
Does anyone at Warner Brothers expect this to be anything other than a dismal repetition of the Ghostbusters failure? No. They are actively and deliberately planning to lose millions of dollars on this doomed turkey, just to appease the angry mobs of man-hating Marxist lesbians.
What bothers me: I actually like Anne Hathaway and Sandra Bullock, but their participation in such a project may make me hate them.

Canadian Gay Child Pornography Merchant Reportedly Made $4 Million
Posted on | August 9, 2016 | 1 Comment
Does anyone remember Jesse Ryan Loskarn? He was the chief of staff to Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander who committed suicide in 2014 a few weeks after he was arrested on federal child pornography charges:
An affidavit from a U.S. postal inspector alleged Loskarn made several purchases in 2010 and 2011 from a Canadian company selling sexually explicit DVDs and streaming videos, the majority of which featured underage nude boys.
Federal investigators also said that in October, child pornography files were being offered for download on an Internet peer-to-peer network linked to Loskarn’s residential IP address.
It included a 28-minute video of graphic material featuring children reportedly as young as 6 years old, authorities said.
The Canadian man whose company sold those “sexually explicit” videos of “underage nude boys” was sentenced to prison Monday in Toronto:
The international police investigations into the customers of Brian Way, the biggest producer and distributor of child pornography in Canada, led to hundreds of arrests around the world and the rescue of hundreds of children, as detailed in a Toronto Star investigation.
On Monday, five years after his arrest in 2011, Superior Court Justice Julie Thorburn sentenced Way to 10 years in prison, a $20,000 fine and three years probation.
Way was sentenced on 15 counts linked to both the manufacture and sale of child pornography and his personal collection of child pornography, the largest ever reported in Canada, according to Crown prosecutor Jill Cameron.
It contained “graphic, disturbing and sometimes violent depictions of children ranging in age from toddlers to adolescents,” Thorburn said in her ruling.
For his business, Way paid three producers to shoot films of boys between the ages of 10 and 18 in Eastern Europe, Thorburn said.
Way, based out of a warehouse on the Queensway, then sold the films through his website, Azovfilms.com, to customers in 92 countries.
During a judge-alone trial, Way argued that the films he made were merely “nudist films.” Thorburn found 57 out of approximately 800 films sold by Way met the legal definition of child pornography, and that they became increasingly sexually explicit over the years.
Forty-four boys had biographies listed on the website, and 33 boys played recurring roles in the films, Thorburn said. . . .
The Crown had sought a sentence of 14 years as well as a fine of $800,000 to reflect the gross sales generated from the sale of 57 films between 2007 and 2011.
Thorburn said she settled on a $20,000 fine based on the amount of Way’s cumulative gross salary for the four years that came from the sale of the 57 films. . . .
Acting Det. Sgt. Paul Krawcyzk, who heads the Toronto police child exploitation section, says the sentence is far too low for what Way did.
“I think of the 44 children involved, particularly in these videos, who were exploited over numerous years, many whom we watched grow up throughout the videos. They won’t get those portions of their lives back. We’ve heard from some of them who explain that they have been affected and will continue to be affected. And I just don’t think that the sentence reflects that.”
He adds that the fine of $20,000 is only a tiny fraction of the $4 million the Crown had initially alleged Way made off selling the videos.
“I think that’s pretty pathetic, personally,” Krawcyzk said.
Does anyone suspect that the sentence was relatively light because Way’s crime involved videos of boys (not girls) and because the paying audience for these videos was gay, rather than heterosexual? Is the producer who profited from such crimes deserving of less punishment than if he had exploited girls? And what about Jesse Ryan Loskarn, whose life was destroyed as a result of the evil addiction from which Brian Way profited? No one ever accused Loskarn of molesting any boys, but he was among the hundreds of men who paid Brian Way for those videos.
Excuse me for being so judgmental, and I suppose some will accuse me of being a homophobe, but the truth is, I hate Canadians.
Also, I hate liberals. One of the men arrested as the result of this Canadian investigation was David Goldberg, a Montreal journalist who served only 90 days in jail (!!!) and then wrote an article for the liberal Atlantic magazine that included this sentence: “I was the victim of an unhappy childhood and a psychologically disturbed father.” Writing a sentence like that should be punishable by life in prison, and the editors of the Atlantic should probably serve a few years behind bars for publishing it.
Criminals telling tales of their “unhappy childhood” are . . . criminals. Charles Manson and Adolf Hitler had unhappy childhoods, too, but this in no way mitigates their evil. As evil as Manson is, at least he’s not Canadian, and Hitler never published an article in the Atlantic.

Narcissism, Nipples and ‘Social Justice’
Posted on | August 9, 2016 | 1 Comment
Christine Lasher wants you to notice her daughter’s nipples:
This is my daughter; and those are her nipples.
In fairness, let me give you a minute to process that. . . .
I’ll just wait here quietly while you rant, drool, hurl, or whatever other judging and/or inappropriate response you wish to express.
(We would not have noticed, ma’am, if you hadn’t posted this on your blog and titled it, “My Daughter and Her Nipples.” But please continue.)
It’s only women’s nipples that we shame. That’s right. More gender asymmetry meant to keep women…covered…silent…less than. A 21st Century burka of sorts right here in the U.S. of A. Less fabric. Same idea.
But I digress because this photo has nothing to do with any of that.
In fact, my daughter says F–K THAT! And, oh by the way, she doesn’t say F–K THAT for you. In fact, she couldn’t care less what you think of her nipples one way or the other.
This photograph of my daughter is not a political statement. It is not a sexual statement. It isn’t even about you…for you…or related to you in any way [GASP]. You egomaniacal moron. . . .
Well, generic second-person “you” can read the rest of that, but speaking of egomaniacal morons, Christine Lasher is a perfect example.
Feminism turns personal failure into victimhood and incentivizes narcissistic self-pity. Every woman who tells a tale of woe contributes to the larger narrative of women’s suffering under the tyranny of patriarchal oppression, and feminism thereby gives meaning to her unhappiness, endowing her with a sense that her life has a larger significance. A sadly familiar story (e.g., “my ex-husband is a jerk”) is thereby transformed into The Heroic Struggle of a Survivor of Domestic Abuse.
“Sometimes, I feel helpless. I wonder how I am doing as a Mom. My divorce is beyond hostile and I have so little financial means. I often feel as if I am failing my children somehow.”
— Christine Lasher
After her divorce, Christine Lasher ended up paying child support to her ex-husband. How’s that for “equality,” eh? Read more
