Some Stereotypes Are True

Posted on | September 27, 2015 | 78 Comments

Somebody on Twitter started the hashtag #NoHymenNoDiamond which was either (a) an extreme argument for premarital abstinence, or (b) another brilliant 4chan satire to troll feminists. It doesn’t matter which it was, because it brought out the feminist crazies, including one who wanted to lecture the world about misogyny and heteronormativity, and another who declared, “Men have no idea how women’s bodies work.”

When I started snarking about this, it attracted the attention of a feminist who accused me of “bullying.” When I get that kind of reaction, it makes me wonder, who is saying these things? So I checked her Twitter profile and saw a link to — what else? — a Tumblr blog where she describes herself as a 19-year-old “aggressive lesbian communist & feminist” who likes “harry potter and astrology.” (She’s “pisces sun / taurus moon / leo rising.”) A quick survey of the content at her blog proved her to be a perfect example of the angry man-hating lunatic stereotype that feminists claim doesn’t represent their movement.

Feminism is about empowering mentally ill teenage Marxist lesbians with facial piercings, who feel an urge to tell sane, normal adults that we are the problem, and that they are the solution.

Saluting Brandon Morse’s Valiant Struggle With Testosterone-Driven Guilt

Posted on | September 26, 2015 | 34 Comments

by Smitty

An excellent piece sending up the abject, slack-jawed idiocy of our morally degenerate Left:

It started innocently enough. The local university was holding seminars about the gender wage gap, and Gwendalin was a guest speaker. Her feminine wisdom is beyond my comprehension. Naturally, I attended, not only to support my partner, but to learn. As the beneficiary of a system that has institutionalized sexism and racism, it is important that the males take every opportunity to educate themselves on the privileges they enjoy at the expense of others. What better way to check that privilege than by sitting down, shutting up, and submitting yourself to the knowledge of the women closest to you?
Watching this raw display of feminine personhood on that stage, however, began to awaken dangerous desires within me. I began to have the problematic feeling of ownership one has in sexually active relationships. I felt ashamed. Here Gwen was, educating future world citizens about a very prominent and real example of a systematic oppression of women, and here I was perpetuating rape culture by being sexually turned on by my partner.
It didn’t subside, either. Once we got home that night, I couldn’t help myself, and I approached her as respectfully as I was able in my weakened state. “May I kiss you?” I asked her. She looked at me in silence for moment, considering whether to give me permission. “Yes,” she finally said, and awaited me to approach her. Our lips met, and I could tell the night was going to be one to remember.
I’ll spare you the details, but that night there seemed to be no limits. I was overcome with a tidal wave of uninfluenced consent that celebrated and revered Gwen’s independent sexuality.
It wasn’t until some time later that we found out our consensual trist had gotten Gwen pregnant. I felt guilty. She had allowed me to participate in one of the most private and powerful aspects of her womanhood, and I had punished her for it with a child.

Brandon neglected a couple of things, though: his basic sanity seems to have precluded the idea of offering the male child to Moloch in an abortion. Also, he could have ended the piece on a Caitlyn Jenner crescendo.
But hey: it’s not my essay. Go enjoy it.

Friday Fiction: 100 Word Challenge

Posted on | September 25, 2015 | 11 Comments

Cord. Dirty, slack. Perfectly strong-looking as it went from the small wall cleat, through the floor debris, under the locked door.
That rusty door was going to drink all the convenient oil before the key would be useful.
“Treasure,” said Thorgun, hefting his axe.
“Trap,” countered Greybane, adjusting a ring.
“Tempted!” admitted Rhialto, applying oil and key to the door’s works.
The door popped open with a token creak, offering a view a large room, where a figure in white spoke gibberish to at least 500 nicely dressed people.
A couple of minutes on, Greybane inquired “What fresh hell is this?”

Unpacking The Library

Posted on | September 24, 2015 | 14 Comments

The great work of constructing shelves and unpacking boxes full of books continues, and as it does, I keep finding books I haven’t seen in years – and, unfortunately, quite a few books that I’d forgotten I already had, which in the meantime I’d bought additional copies of. Some of them I’m going to keep -for example, the original DAW edition of Jerry Pournelle’s A Spaceship For The King with the Kelly Freas cover, even though it’s since been expanded into King David’s Spaceship. That’s the exception rather than the rule, though, and I may well wind up having a garage sale of the surplus volumes by the time I’m done sorting everything out.

Among the recently unearthed long-lost literary (sic) treasures is Robert Frezza’s McLendon’s Syndrome. Not everyone does humor in SF well, but Frezza carries it off in this amusing tale of Ensign Ken McKay, the tramp freighter Rustam’s Slipper (more commonly called the “Rusty Scupper”), interstellar drug smuggling, vampires, and the backwater colony of Schuyler’s Planet, where all the children are below average and their parents aren’t so hot either. Also, there’s His Rotundity Bucky Beaver, heir to the Rodent throne, his indispensable sidekick Cheeves, and the unfortunate matter of the Rodent-Human war that Ken accidentally sets off. Hilarity, deranged nurses, and occasional romance ensue. Another case where you can’t believe it’s not available on Kindle.

Speaking of Kindle, Vox Day’s Castalia House is in the process of reissuing the series of There Will Be War anthologies edited by Jerry Pournelle and John F. Carr back during the Reagan Administration, starting with There Will Be War Volume I. The cover art is a little different, but the stories and non-fiction are the same, and there are some damn good stories in these collections, including Pournelle & Niven’s “Reflex”, which was cut from The Mote in God’s Eye; the original version of “Ender’s Game” by Orson Scott Card; “Cincinnatus” by the late Joel Rosenberg, and many, many others. Some reviewers have complained that the fiction and non-fiction alike are a bit dated, but personally I think of the whole series as a nice collection of period pieces which reflect the times in which they were written.

And speaking of period pieces, there’s Robert Moss’ fine political and military thriller Moscow Rules, which tells the tale of a young GRU officer who resolves early in life to destroy the Soviet system in the only way possible – with a pitiless coup by the Soviet Union’s own deadliest soldiers, the spetsnaz. I think Moss does as good a job as any Westerner of depicting the gray, depressing life of the average Soviet citizen and how corrupt the system was – and how tempting it could be to defect. Young lieutenant Preobrazhensky remains true to his purpose, though, accumulating allies in the strangest places before finally dropping the axe. Alternate history now, of course, but still a fascinating tale. Was available on Kindle for a while, but not at the moment.

INVASION: European Union Faces ‘Millions of Potential Refugees’

Posted on | September 24, 2015 | 31 Comments

Syrian refugees enter Hungary last month.

The European Union could collapse unless emergency measures are taken to halt the invasion of Muslim immigrants, which is likely to grow worse, an official warned Wednesday:

Donald Tusk, president of the European Council, warned the EU was now facing a “critical point” and that the migrant crisis hadn’t even reached its peak.
As he chaired an emergency meeting of EU leaders in Brussels last night Mr Tusk painted a bleak picture of the EU’s future, saying the 28-member bloc was on the verge of breakdown with “recriminations and misunderstanding” pitting nations against one another.
The future of free movement was at stake, he said, as the continent had lost control of its borders as well as a “sense of order”.
He added: “The most urgent question we should ask ourselves…is how to regain control of our external borders.
“Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense to even speak about common migration policy.” . . .
“Today we are talking about millions of potential refugees trying to reach Europe, not thousands.
“It is likely that more refugees will flow towards Europe, not less. Especially as almost all of them feel invited to Europe.” . . .
More than half a million migrants have arrived in Europe so far this year, and experts believe the total figure for 2015 could top one million.

In 1973, the French novelist Jean Raspail’s book The Camp of the Saints depicted an eerily similar scenario. Widely condemned as “racist,” Raspail’s book was a sort of right-wing samizdat when I first read it 20 years ago. Much like The Bell Curve, it was one of those Books You’re Not Supposed to Read. Yet now the daily headlines seem as if they were scripted by Raspail, and I wonder if he has gotten due credit for having so clearly prophesied this crisis.
