General: Military ‘Degraded’ by Obama

Posted on | September 28, 2015 | 56 Comments

Barbara Hollingsworth at CNS News reports:

The military readiness of the United States is being “degraded by social experimentation,” Maj. Gen. Robert Dees (U.S. Army-Ret.) said Saturday at the Values Voter Summit in Washington.
Dees said that the Obama administration’s use of the military for “social engineering” on controversial gay and gender issues is detrimental to the nation’s ability to defend itself.
“Not only are we losing physical readiness to fight, we have to fix the problem of moral readiness,” he said on a panel chaired by Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin (US Army-Ret.).
“I think the moral readiness of our forces is even more important than the physical readiness, which is very low,” Dees later told CNSNews.com. “The moral readiness is degraded by social experimentation within our military.
“In fact, social experimentation is improperly named because it’s not an experiment at all. It’s a top-driven mandate for social agendas that occurs by this administration within the military, which is a captive audience.
“It is not enhancing our readiness; it declines our readiness. We’re spending more time on some of these social engineering projects than we are on developing and maintaining readiness in our force.”

Meanwhile, at People magazine, Susan Keating reports:

Way back in January, long before the first women attended the Army’s elite Ranger School – one of the most grueling military courses in the world — officials at the highest levels of the Army had already decided failure was not an option, sources tell PEOPLE.
“A woman will graduate Ranger School,” a general told shocked subordinates this year while preparing for the first females to attend a “gender integrated assessment” of the grueling combat leadership course starting April 20, sources tell PEOPLE. “At least one will get through.”
That directive set the tone for what was to follow, sources say.
“It had a ripple effect” at Fort Benning, where Ranger School is based, says a source with knowledge of events at the sprawling Georgia Army post. “Even though this was supposed to be just an assessment, everyone knew. The results were planned in advance.”
On Tuesday, PEOPLE revealed that Oklahoma Republican Rep. Steve Russell had asked the Department of Defense for documents about the women who attended Ranger School after becoming concerned that “the women got special treatment and played by different rules,” sources say.

Read the whole thing. It will make your blood boil. These women were the beneficiaries of a deliberate and systematic unfairness intended to achieve a politically approved outcome. The waste of resources involved in this dishonest endeavor — including extra training that required personnel to be specially assigned to prepare the women trainees — was conducted at taxpayer expense. The demoralization of male troops involved in this fraud was not least among the detrimental effects.

I admit to not following college football all that much, which is why this introduction didn’t appear three weeks ago when the NCAA season started. Nonetheless, it is time to make the annual obeisance to the altar of the Crimson Tide, and so the appetizer this week is the University of Alabama cheerleaders.

Roll Tide!

Goodstuff leads off this week with the sage observation that red hair and cosplay go together like science and science fiction, followed by Ninety Miles from Tyranny with Morning Mistress, Hot Pick of the Late Night, and Girls with Guns. Speaking of which, First Street Journal looks at the women of the Ukrainian Army and asks Will They Be Fighting The Russians? We also heard from Animal Magnetism with Rule 5 Friday and the Saturday Gingermageddon.

EBL’s herd this week includes the Kessler Twins, Laila Mourad, Summer Lovin’, Syrian & German Crises, Michele Carey, and Juliet Prowse.

American Power returns with Slow Motion Sexy Sports Time, Trying On Bras With Helen Flanagan, Kayla Collins, Lily Aldridge, Waking Up With Abigail Ratchford, The Kate Upton File, and  Good Girl Gone Bad Carrie Underwood.

A View from the Beach checks in with Cindy Crawford Prepares for the Big 5 Oh, Hayek Takes on Toilets, Selfie Deaths Outnumber Shark Deaths, Why Women are Frigid, The Boobies of Baltimore, Autumn Underwear Ad, More Cat Woman Blogging, Just No; Hell No!, Katy Perry Bends Over to Take . . ., Can the Redskins Skin the Lambs?, A Morning at the Beach with Crocodile Dundee; Blackbeard’s Ship Confirmed Found, and Clinton.com Lawyer Resisted Deleting Hillary Emails

At Soylent Siberia, your Sunday Coffee Creamer is an A cup holding a D cup. The Monday Motivationer has carpeted stairs, there’s Tuesday Titillation, the Humpday Hawtness Garden Party, Have An Awesome Equinox!, Fursday in the Forest, Latent Lingerie with Lesbians, T-GIF Friday, and Weekender Cocktail Shaker.

Proof Positive’s Friday Night Babe is Vica Kerekes, his Vintage Babe is Marion Davies, Sex in Advertising is covered by Goldie, and of course there’s the obligatory 49ers cheerleader. At Dustbury, it’s Bellamy Young and Carly Rae Jepsen.

Thanks to everyone for their linkagery! Deadline to submit links to the Rule 5 Wombat mailbox for next Sunday’s Rule 5 roundup is midnight on Saturday, October 3.

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.

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?”
