Shocking News: @MaraWritesStuff Announces She Is Not Heterosexual

Posted on | June 14, 2016 | 36 Comments

 

The name Mara Wilson probably means nothing to you, and I’d never heard of her until today when I saw this headline:

Mara Wilson is Queer: Actress Felt
Moved To Say She’s One Of Us

Considering that this headline is from the lesbian feminist site Autostraddle, you might think “one of us” is a synonym for lesbian, except no, she’s “queer,” which is more like a synonym for bisexual maybe.

Actually, the word “queer” has become an elastic umbrella term that can mean anything or nothing except that Feminism Is Queer, as Professor Mimi Marinucci has explained. There may actually be heterosexual feminists out there in 2016, but if so, they seem to be extremely embarrassed about it. Heterosexuality is now practically a hate crime, according to Third Wave social justice feminism. While homosexuality is not yet mandatory for young feminists, none of them would dare say they’re against it, whereas every feminist now constantly spews venomous hatred toward heterosexual men. Merely being male makes you complicit in rape and patriarchal oppression, and no feminist ever wants to hear anything a heterosexual male has to say, so shut up.

OK, so who the heck is Mara Wilson, and why would anyone care that she is bisexual maybe? She was a child actress who appeared in five movies, including Mrs. Doubtfire (1993) when she was 6 and Matilda (1996) when she was 9. Now she writes books and posts pictures of her cat on Twitter, where she has 276,000 followers. So, after the Orlando shooting she Tweeted that “the LGBTQ community has always felt like home” and subsequently clarified by describing herself as a “2” (on the Kinsey Scale) and saying she has “embraced the Bi/Queer label lately.” Also, she made the point that she is “a left-leaning Jewish atheist.”

So to summarize, Mara Wilson is a typical 20-something feminist who hates Jesus and Republicans (not necessarily in that order) and whose hobbies are Communism, cunnilingus, and collecting cats.

This has been your daily Non-Heterosexual Semi-Celebrity Update.

You’re welcome, America.

 

Shorter @AmandaMarcotte: ‘Masculinity Killed Those Gay People in Orlando’

Posted on | June 14, 2016 | 157 Comments

“The horror story of Orlando lays bare what damage that this kind of dominance-oriented masculinity does to our society . . . It’s a stark reminder of why we, as a country, need to get past the politics of tough guy posturing and move towards a more thoughtful, inclusive society.”
Amanda Marcotte, June 13, 2016

“Progressives only have one good trick, and men keep falling for it.
“They keep calling you a coward, so that you’ll do or say whatever they want to prove that you are not a coward.”

Jack Donovan, Nov. 28, 2015

Some things are predictable — Muslims murdering innocent people, for example, and also Amanda Marcotte saying incredibly stupid things:

A picture is quickly starting to form of who Omar Mateen, the shooter, was. His ex-wife describes a man who was controlling and abusive. A colleague says he was always using racial and sexual slurs and “talked about killing people all the time.” Both his ex-wife and his father describe him as homophobic, with his father saying he spun into a rage at the sight of two men kissing. He was clearly fond of guns, having not one, but two concealed carry licenses. He worked at a security firm, a career that can be attractive to men with dominance and control issues. He was investigated by the FBI in 2013 for making threats to a coworker.
There is a common theme here: Toxic masculinity.

Marcotte then goes on to distinguish “toxic masculinity” as a specific thing that means, basically, “things men do that feminists don’t like,” which is to say, everything men do, except (a) shut up, and (b) vote Democrat. Of course, Omar Mateen was a registered Democrat — a fact that Amanda Marcotte omits from her description of his “toxic” traits, because her definition of “toxic masculinity,” like everything else Amanda Marcotte has ever written, is nothing more than partisan propaganda.

This is one of the aspects of contemporary feminism that, I think, gets too little scrutiny. To what extent can the “feminism” of Amanda Marcotte, Jessica Valenti, et al., be distinguished from the general political and policy agenda of the Democrat Party? And with Hillary Clinton running for president, this simple-minded “vote your vagina” message is being echoed and amplified by the media to such a deafening level that we can scarcely hear anything else. Propaganda always requires demonizing scapegoats who, according to the political calculus of the Democrat Party in the 21st-century, are always male, always white, and always Christian. Democrats win elections by maximizing their vote among unmarried women, among black and Hispanic voters, and among atheists. This divide-and-conquer tactic of identity politics appeals to utterly irrational impulses, the tribal tendency of people to thinks of themselves in opposition to a hated Other, so that their emotions — including self-pity and envy — overpower their ability to analyze policy and calculate their own actual best interests. Trust me, I used to be a Democrat.

My sentimental working-class attachment to the party of “the little guy” blinded me to the reality that Bill Clinton (a) never actually give a damn about any “little guy” except his own penis, and (b) was never going to implement any policy that would actually help my wife, my children, or myself. My parents were both loyal “yellow dog” Democrats, and I never even met a Republican until my junior year in college, so it took me until about 1994 before it dawned on me how thoroughly Bill Clinton had bamboozled, scammed and hustled me. Some people never figure out what a complete fraud the Democrat Party is, because they never see through the propaganda slogans — “Equality! Progress! Social Justice!” — and never ask questions like, “What has the Democrat Party done for Detroit?” or “Why are taxpayers fleeing from California to Texas?”

Amanda Marcotte will never ask herself those questions because she is a professional Democrat. The only reason she is published at all is because she is a reliable partisan propagandist who can be counted on to put a “feminist” imprint on whatever spin serves the political needs of the Democrat Party at any particular moment. She is too stupid even to understand how transparent her hackery is:

So, to be excruciatingly clear, toxic masculinity is a specific model of manhood, geared towards dominance and control. It’s a manhood that views women and LGBT people as inferior, sees sex as an act not of affection but domination, and which valorizes violence as the way to prove one’s self to the world.
For obvious political reasons, conservatives are hustling as fast as they can to make this about “radical Islam,” which is to say they are trying to imply that there’s something inherent to Islam and not Christianity that causes such violence.

Notice how “radical Islam” is in quotation marks, as if nothing of the kind actually exists — it’s a paranoid right-wing fantasy that Muslims want to kill us, according to Amanda Marcotte — who then does an reversal so obvious as to be childish. The subject at hand, after all, is an atrocity committed by the son of an Afghanistan Taliban supporter, and yet for some reason, Amanda Marcotte insists that what we should be discussing is the real problem of “toxic masculinity” among Christian men.

It’s those Lutheran extremists and radical Methodists we must fear, according to the hacktastic Marcotte, and why? Because Christian men are “living in fear” and “posturing” as tough guys:

Toxic masculinity aspires to toughness but is, in fact, an ideology of living in fear: The fear of ever seeming soft, tender, weak, or somehow less than manly. This insecurity is perhaps the most stalwart defining feature of toxic masculinity. . . .
If toxic masculinity was just about men posturing around each other in a comical fashion, that would be one thing, but this persistent pressure to constantly be proving manhood and warding off anything considered feminine or emasculating is the main reason why we have so many damn shootings in the United States.

You see? For the propaganda purposes of a Democrat Party hack like Amanda Marcotte, the story is not about the actual story — i.e., the specific motives of the Orlando shooter — because that story is not good for the Democrat Party. No, the narrative must be twisted so that somehow, this heinous act committed by a registered Democrat can be shown to reflect badly on the kind of men who vote Republican, for example, gun owners:

Toxic masculinity is also the reason it’s so easy for men with major issues to get a hold of the high-powered weaponry necessary to commit these crimes. Sure, the pro-gun movement in this country likes to roll out a bunch of half-baked pseudo-arguments pretending at rationality to justify the lack of gun control in this country, but really, the emotional selling point of guns is that they feed the cult of toxic masculinity. Being able to stockpile weapons and have ever bigger and scarier-looking guns is straightforward and undeniable overcompensation insecure men, trying to prove what manly men they are.

Translation: “White men with small penises vote Republican!”

This is merely a sexualized insult and, in point of fact, is contradicted by actual crime statistics. Maybe white guys own more guns but Justice Department numbers show that black guys and Hispanic guys are more violent and, as a feminist like Amanda Marcotte would be obligated to mention, if she were not just a Democrat Party hack, violence against women is more common in minority communities.

Does Amanda Marcotte think everyone is as stupid as she is? Does she think she can just hatefully insult people for spite — “White guys are gun-crazy murderers because they’re overcompensating for their small penises!” — and that nobody will fact-check her claims? Does she think she can just blame “toxic masculinity” as “the main reason why we have so many damn shootings,” and that no one will mention Chicago, where there have already been nearly 1,700 shootings this year, including 256 fatal shootings? June is not halfway over, and there have already been 27 homicides in Chicago this month, but does Amanda Marcotte blame the violence in Chicago on “insecure men, trying to prove what manly men they are”? No, because Chicago is a Democrat fiefdom whose Mayor Rahm Emanuel is Obama’s former chief of staff. Nor can Amanda Marcotte, who lives in Brooklyn, be bothered to notice deadly violence when it strikes close to home, as when Michelle Marks was shot to death in Brooklyn Bridge Park this month:

On Tuesday afternoon, investigators arrested Lamont Wright, an ex-boyfriend of Ms. Marks; she had filed harassment complaints against him, including one on Sunday, authorities said.
Mr. Wright, 53 years old, has a criminal history that includes two stints in prison, the first starting in 1990, and is currently on probation, authorities said. In 2007, he pleaded guilty to a charge of third-degree rape in a case in which he admitted having consensual sex with a 16-year-old girl he met on a chatline, authorities said. He was sentenced to six months in prison and 10 years probation.
Family members said Ms. Marks had planned to use her day off Tuesday to seek a restraining order against Mr. Wright. The two had dated on and off until about two weeks ago when she ended the relationship, they said.
The woman’s mother, Pauline Marks, said that in the report her daughter filed on Sunday, she told police Mr. Wright had a gun and she was afraid of him.

 

Lamont Wright is a career criminal with 15 prior arrests, but for some reason Amanda Marcotte didn’t cite him as an example of “a specific model of manhood” that “valorizes violence as the way to prove one’s self to the world.” The death of Michelle Marks inspired no pious feminist sermons about “men with dominance and control issues,” because some murder victims are more equal than others in the eyes of a dishonest Democrat propagandist like Amanda Marcotte. No, she has her hobby horse and she’s going to ride it:

That’s why any attempt to discuss putting even the smallest, most commonsensical restrictions on guns turns into a bunch of right wing dudes squeeing about how the liberals are coming to taking their guns. This isn’t a discussion being held on the plane of rationality, but is a psychological drama about these men’s fears of emasculation, represented in an unsubtle way over their attachment to guns and their fear that liberals, stereotyped as effeminate in their imagination, are coming to steal the guns away.
And, of course, in the Orlando situation, we have the added problem of homophobia, which is called a “phobia” for a reason, since it’s so often rooted in toxic masculinity and the terror of anything even remotely feminine.
What is particularly frustrating about all this is that, even though toxic masculinity is clearly the problem here, you have a bunch of conservatives running around and pushing toxic masculinity as the solution, as if all we need to end violence and terrorism is a bunch of silly posturing about who is the biggest man of all the menfolk out there.

Whenever you want a discussion “held on the plane of rationality,” Amanda Marcotte’s the first name that comes to mind, right? She thinks you are too stupid to see what she is doing when, in fact, these propaganda tactics have been analyzed brilliantly by Jack Donovan:

Progressives use every man’s natural fear of showing fear to manipulate him — inventing fake “phobias” and implying he is afraid of everything they want. But what men are truly afraid of are the legal, social and financial consequences associated with challenging the progressive agenda. . . .
Progressives get men to do whatever they want by manipulating our fear of being afraid. When you recognize this manipulation, you’ll begin to see it in nearly every argument appealing to men and every progressive narrative written about men. Their strategy is to portray masculine men, even men who have demonstrated courage in battle or in legitimately heroic endeavors where they have faced and overcome fear, as being driven primarily by fear and a sense of inadequacy.

Read the whole thing. Once you learn to spot the psychological manipulation tactics of propaganda, you resent the arrogance of people like Amanda Marcotte almost as much as you despise their dishonesty.

This is certainly an interesting development. Do you think maybe Amanda Marcotte will revise her claims to take account of this new information? Gay Democrat kills gay people in gay nightclub he had visited frequently? How do these facts fit into her “toxic masculinity” theory?

Oh, and what about the fact that gay patrons of the Pulse club blocked the door, preventing other people from escaping the gunman?

But never mind the facts, I guess.

Amanda Marcotte is a Democrat, and facts don’t matter to Democrats.

UPDATE: Guess who noticed the latest headlines?

Amanda Marcotte’s rationalizations show how feminism is a cult ideology. No matter what the facts are, a feminist can never admit she is wrong.

All males are sexist oppressors and all women are victims of patriarchy — these are the unquestionable premises of Feminist Logic™ — and everything is interpreted as evidence that proves feminism is right.

So if a Muslim Democrat kills 50 people at a gay nightclub, this proves “toxic masculinity” is to blame, and if it turns out the killer was gay himself? Well, this doesn’t prove Amanda Marcotte was wrong, because she is a feminist and it is therefore impossible for her to be wrong.

Blame-Shifters: Democrats Use #Orlando to Scapegoat Christians, GOP, NRA

Posted on | June 13, 2016 | 70 Comments

 

There is no limit to the Left’s shameful dishonesty:

Christian conservatives are responsible for the mass shooting at a gay bar in Orlando because they “created this anti-queer climate,” according to American Civil Liberties Union attorneys.
“You know what is gross — your thoughts and prayers and Islamophobia after you created this anti-queer climate,” ACLU staff attorney Chase Strangio tweeted on Sunday morning. . . .
Strangio — who “spend[s his] life fighting Christian homophobia while being loved & supported by [his] Muslim family” — and his colleagues connected the shooting back to Christians and Republican politicians who oppose gay marriage. “The Christian Right has introduced 200 anti-LGBT bills in the last six months and people blaming Islam for this,” Strangio tweeted. “No.”

This is a classic reversal of causation, as part of an attempt to deflect attention from what actually happened in Orlando, where the deadliest terror attack in the United States since 9/11 was committed by the son of a Taliban supporter whose hatred of homosexuals was clearly related to his Islamic beliefs. Democrats cannot let this be a story about the dangers of Islamic terrorism, a story that would be bad for Hillary Clinton and good for Donald Trump. Instead, the narrative is about “this anti-queer climate” Democrats can blame on Republicans and Christians. Never mind the facts. Never mind the reality that the so-called “200 anti-LGBT bills” are actually attempts to defend First Amendment rights against totalitarian efforts to deny freedom of conscience to businesses and individuals who do not agree with the radical agenda of the Left.

We see that the American Civil Liberties Union — which began as a Communist Party front group to defend the agents of Soviet-backed subversion — is now against “civil liberties,” insofar as those liberties involve the rights of Christians to live according to their faith.

“Democrats with bylines,” as Instapundit calls the dishonest journalists who peddle partisan propaganda, are also trying to blame the NRA for Orlando, because there is nothing liberals would enjoy more than to completely disarm American citizens, because depriving us of our Second Amendment rights is necessary to abolishing our First Amendment rights.

In Obama’s America, Muslims have rights, immigrants have rights and gay people have rights. The rest of us? We have no rights at all.




 


Extenuating Circumstances? No Mercy!

Posted on | June 13, 2016 | 19 Comments

Oakland, California, Police Chief Sean Whent resigned last week “after a sex scandal that began in his department spread to four other cities, with least 24 officers revealed to have slept with the same prostitute — some of them when she was just 16”:

The woman, who goes by the name of ‘Celeste Guap’, said that she slept with three of the two dozen officers when she was 17. She turned 18 last August. . . .
At least 14 of Whent’s officers had been sexually involved with Guap, whose mother is an Oakland police dispatcher.

When I saw this headline by Ed Driscoll at Instapundit, I was shocked and outraged. Police officers having sex with a teenage prostitute? What kind of decadence and depravity has taken hold in Oakland? We must put an end to this shameless vice and corruption! We must make an example of these officers by imposing the maximum punishment allowed by law! Why would law enforcement officers resort to such wickedness?

The investigation into the officers’ relationship began in September 2015, after married Officer Brendan O’Brien, who had been having an affair with Guap since she was 17, killed himself and named her and several officers in his suicide note.
Since then, two-dozen officers have been revealed to have slept with Guap, some of whom provided her with confidential information.
‘I think cops are fine. They’re cute and all, but it’s like one less officer that’s gonna arrest me,’ she told the East Bay Express.
Under the screen name ‘Superman,’ one officer wrote: ‘Want some advice? Stay off E14 from Fruitvale to 42(nd Avenue) tonight. There’s a UC (an undercover) operation.’
She replied: ‘Thank u daddy I appreciate it (I don’t) wanna go to jail lol.’
Guap told the East Bay Express that ‘Superman’ had put her in a taxi after she approached him drunk and lost. She began having sex with him a week later.

Teenage prostitute ‘Celeste Guap’ and Officer Brendan O’Brien.

Preventing police corruption is necessary, and obviously Oakland’s training procedures will need to be revised. Officers are sworn to obey an oath, to uphold the law. If laws against prostitution (California Penal Code Section 647) are not rigorously enforced, terrible consequences are certain to follow. Readers may accuse me of being puritanical and merciless in demanding maximum punishment for the officers implicated in this scandal and, while you’re at it, go ahead and accuse me of hypocrisy. What would I do, if I were a police officer confronted by “Celeste Guap,” who asked me to disregard my sworn duty to enforce California Penal Code Section 647 in exchange for her, uh, services?

Ah, but this is mere hypothetical speculation, you see. I am a journalist, not a police officer, and hypothetical speculation is high on the list of practices a journalist should be careful to avoid. Also, remember that while the First Amendment protects our rights of free speech and a free press, the Fifth Amendment protects us against self-incrimination. You have the right to remain silent and anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. Furthermore, you have the right to an attorney, and to have your attorney present during questioning.

Why would a journalist memorize the Miranda warning? Well, I wasn’t always a journalist. Once upon a time, I was long-haired teenage dopehead — it was the ’70s, man, and I was a Democrat back then — and a juvenile delinquent learns lessons about law enforcement that most journalists probably never learn. One ironic consequence is that I have no pity for criminals, especially stupid criminals who think they can get with their crimes, but then expect mercy when they get caught. (Ken White’s commentary about the Brock Turner case at Stanford is enlightening in this regard.) What shall we do with police officers who think they can get away with having sex with a teenage prostitute? No pity! No mercy!

“Lead us not into temptation” we are told to pray. Perhaps you sinners should thank God you never faced temptation like “Celeste Guap.”

Perhaps God will have mercy on police officers who violate the law, but California Penal Code Section 647 doesn’t mention “mercy.”




 

Radical Madness: @ZJemptv and the Transgender War Against Women

Posted on | June 13, 2016 | 30 Comments

 

Sitting on my shelf, amid scores of radical feminist books I’ve gathered over the past two years, is Women’s Rites, Women’s Mysteries: Creating Ritual in the Dianic Wiccan Tradition by Ruth Barrett, a neopagan high priestess initiated by Z. Budapest, the founder of feminist witchcraft. Ruth Barrett divorced her husband and became a lesbian, so that she is the epitome of a famous anti-feminist quote by Pat Robertson.

There has been a strange battle fought within feminism in recent years between radical feminists and transgender activists, and Ruth Barrett has now become a target of the implacable hatred for which the transgender movement is rapidly becoming notorious. Barrett has announced plans to publish an anthology entitled Female Erasure: What You Need To Know About Gender Politics’ War On Women, the Female Sex and Human Rights, with an introduction by Germaine Greer. This collection of 46 essays includes a lot of anti-Christian feminism of the kind that I consider pure satanic evil (e.g., Monika Sjöö and Barbara Mor), however, neither I nor any other right-wing Christian is trying to prevent publication of this book. Guess who is? Transgender activists like Zinnia Jones.

Gallus Mag at the radical feminist site Gender Trender reports:

Less than 48 hours since the announcement of the upcoming Female Erasure anthology and the anti-women, anti-lesbian, anti-speech activists are already swarming with efforts to stop its publication. . . .
Needless to say, the individuals who are invested in forcibly imposing “gender” on women and girls wish to censor female speech about the worldwide, violent, reproductive sex-based oppression of women and girls which transcends all cultures and eras. . . .
Anti-feminist and anti-gay activists — mainly of the transgender variety — are already waging a campaign of harassment against the editor, the contributors, and the fundraising website being used to crowdfund the project.

Is there anyone who is not transgender who is “waging a campaign of harassment” against so-called “TERFs” (trans-exclusive radical feminists)? Not to my knowledge. My preferred “harassment” toward feminists is to quote them, and how am I to quote the crazy things feminists say, if they are not allowed to publish? My warnings about the consequences of feminism (see “Jacobins, Bolsheviks and Feminists”) are based on in-depth research, and I dare yet hope that some of these fools will see the errors of their folly. How can truth contend with error, however, if we are denied the freedom to speak?

Why do transgender activists fear the truth? Why do they try to shut down criticism of their agenda? What are they trying to hide?

Heather McNamara, “Miss Robo” and Zinnia Jones.

You may recall that Zinnia Jones is the partner of Heather McNamara, a self-described “feminist, marxist, queer theorist, lesbian” who in October 2015 deliberately humiliated her son by forcing him to write an essay about “misogyny.” That anyone could be so cruel to their own child is shocking, and we should not be surprised that Zinnia Jones is supporting the war against Ruth Barrett’s book.

Ask yourself: Why do transgender activists care so much about a book by a lesbian feminist witch that they would seek to prevent its publication? Why is it so important to Zinnia Jones to prevent feminists from criticizing the transgender agenda? Why would Zinnia Jones and other transgender activists erupt with a barrage of sexualized slurs against me when I called them out about their efforts to suppress free speech?

“Truth is great and will prevail if left to herself . . . she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them.”
Thomas Jefferson, Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, 1786

My advice to feminists is to remember the fate of Trotsky. And you should probably also read The Road to Serfdom, especially Chapter 10.
