Feminist Tumblr: ‘Broken People’

She describes herself on Tumblr as an “economics student” and “vegan bi sexworker” who is “neurodivergent,” which may or may not be a synonym for crazy. She lists her diagnoses as GAD (generalized anxiety disorder), OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) and MDD (major depressive disaorder), although elsewhere she also lists BPD (borderline personality disorder). She is a one-woman DSM, basically — a living catalog of psychiatric symptoms. Here, let’s consult Wikipedia:
There is a neurodiversity movement, which is an international civil rights movement that has the autism rights movement as its most influential submovement. This movement frames autism, bipolarity and other neurotypes as a natural human variation rather than a pathology or disorder, and its advocates reject the idea that neurological differences need to be (or can be) cured, as they believe them to be authentic forms of human diversity, self-expression, and being.
In order words, these people aren’t crazy, they’re just “diverse,” and it is oppressive — a violation of their civil rights — to expect these kooks to behave like normal people. They are certified Special Snowflakes™ and how dare you judge them? Society must accept these “authentic forms of human diversity,” and if their “self-expression” takes the form of becoming tattoo-covered bisexual prostitutes posting nude selfies all over their Tumblr blog, only a hateful and intolerant bigot would criticize this “neurodivergent” behavior.
Normal (“neurotypical”) people can never criticize the neurodivergent Special Snowflake™ but she is always free to criticize us:
What was she referencing by this? We don’t know. However, notice that she attributes fear to “the Modern Heterosexual Male.” The neurodivergent are qualified to diagnose the shortcomings of others. She has anxiety and depression, and this qualifies her to assert that normal men are afflicted by fear of women. Feminist Tumblr is full of women like this, who proudly list their mental illnesses in their profiles — thus to establish their credibility as victims of society — and who then proceed to identify the various failures of normal people.
“If you want to understand feminism, begin by studying abnormal psychology,” as I explain on page 18 of Sex Trouble: Essays on Radical Feminism and the War Against Human Nature. Feminism is an asylum, and the lunatics are running it. One of the pioneers of feminist theory, Kate Millett, “had serious mental health issues,” according to her sister, and was “a brutal sadist, a violent bully.” Another feminist pioneer, Shulamith Firestone, was a paranoid schizophrenic who spend decades living on public assistance. Crazy women like Jaclyn Friedman, who declares her “right to be wild” and go “down and dirty with strangers,” continue to be celebrated as feminism’s heroic leaders.
Once you recognize the influence of mental illness in shaping feminist ideology, you find yourself nodding in agreement with Professor Glenn Reynolds: “I’m beginning to think that most lefty movements are just about broken people trying to manipulate the rest of us so they can feel good about their broken selves.”
Indeed, the “broken people” are everywhere now, piling up like debris scattered by a storm or a flood. Decades of societal breakdown — accompanied by a cultural decadence that celebrates divorce, bastardy, prostitution and every imaginable perversion as expressions of “diversity” — have produced a generation of young people who lack the ability to form healthy, normal relationships. The “broken people” demand that society be further re-structured to accommodate their depravity and helplessness. School children must be taught how to negotiate sexual consent, because there are no longer any moral customs to regulate sexual behavior, nor are any of these feral youth capable of romantic sentiment, having been raised in a godless carnival of cruelty devoid of anything that might plausibly be called love.
A man found unconscious in a Nevada whorehouse turns out to be a former professional athlete once married to a member of a family of perverted celebrities. The only reason anyone ever heard of Lamar Odom is because he played basketball and married a Kardashian, yet his apparent drug overdose in a brothel is national news.
The only way to prevent yourself and your children from being swept downstream in this flood of wickedness is to avoid any contact with the “broken people,” including the weirdos in Hollywood and the feminist freaks who spew evil madness on the Internet.
I made my 14-year-old son Emerson promise he will never date a Kardashian.

Essential Feminist Quotes: ‘I’ve Gone Down and Dirty With Strangers’
Posted on | October 13, 2015 | 38 Comments
Left to right: bell hooks, Jaclyn Friedman, Heather Hlavka.
“Feminist movement to eradicate heterosexism — compulsory heterosexuality — is central to efforts to end sexual oppression. . . .
“Feminist movement to end female sexual oppression is linked to lesbian liberation. . . .
“Feminist efforts to develop a political theory of sexuality must continue if sexist oppression is to be eliminated.”
— bell hooks, Feminist Theory from Margin to Center (2000)
“I’ve gone home drunk with someone on the first date — scratch that, the first meeting — and f–ked sweaty until 2 a.m.
“I ‘lost’ my ‘virginity’ at age fifteen and haven’t had the decency to regret it. . . .
“I’ve gone down and dirty with strangers on a crowded dance floor. I’ve played quarters with the wrestling team. Once, I had sex with my girlfriend in a barely hidden doorway. . . .
“And I hereby declare my right to be wild and still maintain my bodily autonomy.”
— Jaclyn Friedman, “In Defense of Going Wild,” in Yes Means Yes: Visions of Female Sexual Power and a World Without Rape, edited by Jaclyn Friedman and Jessica Valenti (2008)
“Coming up against ‘the wall of patriarchy’ . . . early adolescence is a defining period for young women. Many regard harassment and violence to be a normal part of everyday life in middle and high schools . . . yet most of these crimes go unreported. . . .
“Feminist scholarship . . . consistently finds that traditional gender arrangements, beliefs and behaviors reinforce women’s sexual subordination to men. . . .
“Young women overwhelmingly depicted boys and men as natural sexual aggressors, pointing to one of the main tenets of compulsory heterosexuality. . . . Male power and privilege and female acquiescence were reified in descriptions of ‘routine’ and ‘normal’ sexualized interactions.”
— Heather R. Hlavka, “Normalizing Sexual Violence,” in Gender Through the Prism of Difference, edited by Maxine Baca Zinn, Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo, Michael A. Messner and Amy M. Denissen (fifth edition, 2015)
Everything is connected in feminist theory, and who am I to question or criticize these eminent women? If feminists declare that heterosexuality is a synonym for oppression, and insist that “lesbian liberation” and “a political theory of sexuality” are central to their movement, I will simply take their word for it. If I am told that exercising a “right to be wild” is essential to feminism, I believe it. When feminists declare that middle-school boys are beneficiaries of male privilege, so that girls encounter “the wall of patriarchy” as soon as they get to sixth grade, I feel obligated to publicize this claim. Indeed, I want the whole world to know the whole truth about feminism’s “theory of sexuality,” because for too long the feminist movement has succeeded by exploiting a widespread ignorance of what feminism actually is, and what feminism actually demands.
Everything that most people consider normal, feminism condemns as wrong. To the feminist, “normal” is a synonym for “oppressive.” This is why, for example, Jaclyn Friedman uses quotation marks to signify her feminist belief that “virginity” is a patriarchal concept — a social construct which oppresses women — and that chastity is not a virtue, whereas going “down and dirty with strangers” should be celebrated as an expression of “female sexual power.” To disapprove of Friedman’s bisexual promiscuity is to oppress her because, as Heather Hlavka explains, “traditional gender arrangements, beliefs and behaviors reinforce women’s sexual subordination.” If you are a parent who wouldn’t want your daughter pursuing her “right to be wild” in this manner, then you are oppressing your daughter, infringing her “bodily autonomy,” and reinforcing her “sexual subordination to men.”
This is why I call feminism a War Against Human Nature. Once we get past the superficial rhetoric of “equality” and “progress” to examine what feminists actually believe — the movement’s esoteric doctrine — we recognize feminism as a sort of political bait-and-switch scam. The idea of feminism as a “mainstream” reform movement that everyone should support is impossible to reconcile with the radical program of social revolution that feminist theory envisions. Feminism requires eradicating “traditional gender arrangements” and constructing a sort of Brave New World in accordance with “a political theory of sexuality.”
When the average person sees pop singers like Beyoncé and movie stars like Emma Watson promoting feminism, of course it is not this radical ideology that comes to mind. The bizarre agenda envisioned by feminist theory is far beyond what the average person could possibly imagine, and yet this agenda is widely embraced by intellectuals within the academic Feminist-Industrial Complex of university Women’s Studies programs.
It is not just a few obscure “fringe” extremists who are promoting this ideology in our educational system. Thousands of Women’s Studies professors on hundreds of campuses are involved in teaching tens of thousands students annually. The book Feminist Theory From Margin to Center is an assigned reading in many courses, widely cited in feminist literature and excerpted in anthologies. The textbook Gender Through the Prism of Difference, published by prestigious Oxford University Press, is edited by four professors — Maxine Baca Zinn (Michigan State University), Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo and Michael A. Messner (University of Southern California) and Amy M. Denissen (California State University-Northridge). Professor Hlavka, who sees teenage girls victimized by “the wall of patriarchy,” is a professor of Social and Cultural Sciences at Marquette University. And the anthology Yes Means Yes, in which Jaclyn Friedman celebrates going “down and dirty with strangers,” helped inaugurate the “rape culture” hysteria that has swept over college campuses. Jill Filipovic recently explained:
Friedman, Valenti and other feminist bloggers became regulars on the college speaking circuit, bringing feminist ideas about consent (among other issues) to campuses across the country. In the meantime, feminist blogs grew larger, and many feminist writers transitioned to larger, more mainstream outlets. Other large media platforms saw the popularity of feminist-minded content and were quick to either hire new writers or give the long-time feminists on staff — of which there were already many in media — more space to shine. The feminist pipeline began to pump further and further out, and it seemed like overnight the F-word was everywhere.
Promoted on campus and publicized by the media, radical feminism has gained “mainstream” status without much critical examination of what “the F-word” actually means. Does it mean “lesbian liberation”? Getting drunk and having sex with strangers? Eradicating “traditional gender arrangements”? All of the above? And what would the world transformed by feminist theory look like? We need not think of these questions as hypothetical speculation, if we follow the daily news:
- In Michigan, soccer coach Lauren Hill, 26, was arrested in May for having sex with a teenage girl on her team.
- In New Jersey, charter school teacher Lauren Mitchell, 32, was arrested in June for having sex with a 15-year-old girl.
- In California, a choir teacher, Veronica Lopez, 44, was arrested Oct. 10 for “oral copulation” with a 17-year-old girl.
Well, not every teacher is having lesbian sex with her students, but if “early adolescence is a defining period for young women,” as Professor Hlavka says, and if “the F-word” is now everywhere, as Jill Filipovic says, what do we expect? If feminism aims to end the “sexist oppression” of women by “compulsory heterosexuality,” as bell hooks says, then doesn’t it make sense that “a political theory of sexuality” should be taught in public schools?
Last week, California became the first state in the nation to require lessons about sexual consent in high school sex education classes. The legislation mirrors laws passed last year mandating colleges and universities in both California and New York apply an “affirmative consent,” or “yes means yes” standard when investigating campus sexual assaults.
“California must continue to lead the nation in educating our young people — both women and men — about the importance of respect and maintaining healthy peer and dating relationships,” Assemblyman Rocky Chávez said. . . .
“We are very concerned that we are seeing a move toward consent being the arbiter of whether or not teen sex is appropriate,” said Valerie Huber, president of the National Abstinence Education Association. “We think that is a disservice to our teens and it also ignores all the scientific research showing young people are much better off both now and in the future if they don’t have sex.”
Yes, obviously, feminists want to teach sexual consent in high school because “yes means yes.” So your daughter can learn how to get “down and dirty with strangers.” Or maybe her teacher.
You can say what you want, but don’t say you weren’t warned.
Barack Obama and Ben Carson
Posted on | October 12, 2015 | 18 Comments
One of them is a brain surgeon. The other one is a Nobel Peace Prize winner. One of them spent years in the pews listening to radical Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Anyway . . .
On Monday, President Obama asked Pulitzer Prize-winning author Marilynne Robinson about her faith:
“How do you reconcile the idea of faith being really important to you and you caring a lot about taking faith seriously with the fact that, at least in our democracy and our civic discourse, it seems as if folks who take religion the most seriously sometimes are also those who are suspicious of those not like them?”
Robinson replied that those “turning in on themselves — and God knows, arming themselves” against an “imagined other,” are not “taking their Christianity seriously.”
As Shoshana Weissmann points out, being “suspicious of those not like them” is a pretty universal phenomenon. Where would the Democrat Party be without its two main policies, Fear and Hate? Meanwhile . . .
Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson said Sunday that the world could be getting closer to its end.
Carson made the comment in an interview with Sharyl Attkisson, when Attkisson asked for his “view on what’s happening around the globe and in the U.S., in terms of what’s in the Bible.”
“Do you think we’re at the End of Days?” Attkisson asked.
“You could guess that we are getting closer to that,” the retired neurosurgeon answered. “You do have people who have a belief system that sees this apocalyptic phenomenon occurring, and that they’re a part of it, and who would not hesitate to use nuclear weapons if they gain, possessing [sic] them.”
Attkisson followed up by asking if there is “a chance to change the course,” in light of the fact that the End of Days “is something that’s prophesied.”
“I think we have a chance to certainly do everything that we can to ameliorate the situation,” Carson said.
Notice how Obama doesn’t get questions like this? No, reporters never play “gotcha” with Democrats, but it’s important to ask the Republican to expound his views about Bible prophecies.

US Paradrops 50 Tons Of Ammo To Syrian Rebels; A Fire-Breathing Obama Calls For Legislation Curbing Ammo Availability

The first half of the title is true. The second half, while fake, sounds kinda plausible in our wholly irrational day. One envisions the teleprompter loaded with:
I am shocked and disgusted by the indifference our society displays toward the rising tide of global violence caused by the free availability of arms. The only thing worse is the mindless conservative rejection of even the simplest efforts at curbing rodeo artillery sales and the rampant distribution of plastic explosives at county fairs. I blame un-educated revanchist neo-Confederate Tea Partiers for this sordid situation.
It is my intention to do whatever it takes, even going so far as to toy with the idea of putting Congress in time-out, to stem the tide of this plague with the remaining time I have in office. Our society has been too patient for too long with people clinging bitterly to 18th century agrarian notions.
Won’t somebody think of the children that escaped Planned Parenthood?
Really, #OccupyResoluteDesk needn’t worry, with the Chamber of Commies out to eliminate any chance of real reform.
(via Instapundit)
Update: I’d like to vary Scott Ott here. Given all of the shrill cries about getting rid of firearms, and the need to revere The Law of the Land (e.g. ObamaCare), were one to pass a law explicitly allowing Liberals to disarm themselves, would the tension between the desire to conform and the gross stupidity of their ideas trigger a meltdown? I confess a morbid curiosity to find out.
Paco is on board.
Campus Feminists and the Rape Shortage
Posted on | October 12, 2015 | 72 Comments
More than 17,000 students attend the University at Albany-SUNY. Feminists insist that 1-in-5 college women are victims of rape on campus, and this statistic presents a bit of a problem for Carol Stenger, director of the university’s Advocacy Center for Sexual Assault. Last year there were only 28 reports of sexual assault at SUNY-Albany and it doesn’t require advanced math skills to realize that 28-in-17,000 is a long way from 1-in-5. This didn’t seem to faze Ms. Stenger, who spoke of the need to “increase reporting” of sexual assault and declared: “We know the national statistics. It’s happening everywhere.”
Is it really “happening”? Is there a “campus rape epidemic” to such an extent that 1-in-5 college women are victimized? If so, then we would expect that the sexual assault “awareness” efforts of feminists, augmented by the enforcement authority of the federal Department of Education and a White House Task Force, would bring these cases to light and confirm those “national statistics” of which Ms. Stenger spoke. The reports at SUNY-Albany are clearly insufficient, as Ashe Schow of the Washington Examiner explains:
There weren’t the thousands of reports that Stenger seems to want in order to fall in line with debunked national statistics (the claim that 1 in 5 women will be sexually assaulted while in college), either.
In the past year, Albany had 28 reports of sexual assault, twice as many as it had before Stenger opened her advocacy center. . . .
For the record, those 28 reports don’t break down to what alarmist national statistics say they should.
“Nine of them were from students who asked the university not to take action. Six resulted in disciplinary proceedings that led to two student expulsions and one persona non grata order against a nonstudent,” the [Albany, N.Y.] Times Union reported. “Six were from third parties (when reached, the alleged victims either denied any violence occurred or declined to speak). Four involved assailants whose identities were unknown. Three were outside the university’s jurisdiction.”
In other words, Ms. Stenger’s official “advocacy” resulted in a doubling in the number of sexual assault reports, but only five of those 28 reports (18%) warranted disciplinary proceedings against students, with a sixth disciplinary case involving a non-student. SUNY-Albany expelled exactly two students, out of a total campus population of more than 17,000, for sexual misconduct. Certainly, the situation at SUNY-Albany does not confirm feminist claims of a “campus rape epidemic” victimizing 1-of-5 female students, nor can any college or university in the country produce such documented confirmation.
Feminists invented a non-existent “crisis” for political reasons — perhaps hoping to use these claims to generate campus support for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign — and are now confronted with an absence of proof. Those who have exaggerated the prevalence of sexual assault to create a fictitious “campus rape epidemic” have also inspired journalists to begin scrutinizing the actual number of reported assaults. What if more newspaper reporters began asking the kinds of questions Bethany Bump of the Albany Times-Union asked Carol Stenger?

What if reporters began filing Freedom of Information Act requests to obtain documents from state university officials that would allow some realistic estimation of the actual rate of sexual assault on campus? We are beginning to see a trickle of reporting like that, and how long before the journalistic trickle becomes a factual flood that washes away this “rape epidemic” myth created by feminist fearmongers?

Rule 5 Sunday: Columbus Day Edition

It’s that time of year again, when all manner of malcontents are coming out of the woodwork and complaining about the poor administrative skills and politically incorrect conduct of the Admiral of the Ocean Sea, going so far as to call for his day being renamed Indigenous Persons Day, or some such rot. As far as I’m concerned, all those butthurt Anglos are welcome to take their endemonised Protestant and/or atheist asses back to England, Germany, or whatever hellish heretic-filled holes their families originally came from, most of which are currently in the path of an Islamic Volkerwanderung. Serve them right. Anyhow, Columbus was originally from Genoa before he hired out to the King & Queen of Spain, and perhaps the best-known (certainly the most accomplished) actress from Italy is Sophia Loren, shown here expressing some concern that Jayne Mansfield’s huge tracts of land might erupt across the dinner table.

Is Hillary Melting Down?
Posted on | October 11, 2015 | 22 Comments
What difference, at this point, does it make?
“Hillary’s been having screaming, child-like tantrums that have left staff members in tears and unable to work,” says a campaign aide. “She thought the nomination was hers for the asking, but her mounting problems have been getting to her and she’s become shrill and, at times, even violent.”
Just days before she will take the stage in the first Democratic debate, Hillary Clinton’s lead over rival Bernie Sanders has narrowed, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.
Clinton’s support among Democratic voters fell 10 points within less than a week.
From October 4 to October 9, Clinton saw her support tumble from 51 percent of Democratic support to just 41 percent.
Democrats have moved to the left at least as quickly as the Republicans have moved to the right. . . .
As the Democratic Party lost power at the state level over the past 15 years, it also effectively shed its moderate wing. Centrist Democrats have increasingly lost seats to Republicans, “resulting in a more liberal Democratic party” overall. The authors find that the ideological median of Republican legislators has shifted much less.
Democrats’ loss of governorships and seats in state legislatures has disconnected the party from small towns and suburban middle-class communities — especially married-parent households and small business owners — so that Democrats increasingly represent, on one hand, the affluent urban elite, and on the other hand, the urban poor. The Democrat Party has a lot of college professors and high-school dropouts. The GOP voter is usually somewhere in the middle, a married parent employed in the private sector. Democrats win national elections by relying on the liberal media to help them promote fear campaigns that depict Republicans as a menace to women and minorities. This kind of bogeyman politics — “Mitt Romney’s gonna steal grandma’s Medicaid!” — attracts a lot of voters who don’t understand economics (or anything else, really) and so the electoral “base” of the Democrat Party is a Coalition of the Stupid, United by Ignorance and Fear.
So if Hillary Clinton is having a meltdown while trying to figure out why those damned kooky Democrat primary voters are going for a socialist like Bernie Sanders, whose fault is that, really?
