Men’s Conference Succeeds

Posted on | June 30, 2014 | 17 Comments

Adam Serwer is a liberal journalist and when I saw his byline on a story about the first Men’s Rights conference, I feared the worst. Yet his article about the conference is surprisingly fair, perhaps because the organizers were well-prepared for media scrutiny. A genius move: Most of the speakers on the first day of the conference were women — and thus was debunked the accusation of misogyny.

This is one of the dirty little tricks of feminism: If you criticize feminists, you’re accused of hating women. But as someone who criticizes feminism on a daily basis — the founder of National Offend a Feminist Week — I know that the opposite is true. I criticize feminism because I love women. Heck, I even love the women who hate me. Feminists are just so cute when they’re offended, and when I read some radical lesbian’s denunciation of heterosexuality, proclaiming their “revulsion” toward the penis, my reaction is, “Yeah, baby. Keep talking sexy like that and I might buy you a drink.”

Earlier this month I mentioned that feminists had attempted to shut down the conference. (Because feminists hate freedom, that’s why.) They succeeded in getting the event moved from a Detroit hotel to a VFW post in the suburbs, but the conference itself was a success and — as the inaugural event was obviously not the hate fest its critics had claimed it would be — the organizers will probably have fewer problems in putting together future conferences.

My favorite quote from the Detroit conference is by Dr. Tara Palmatier: “When men can be shamed just for being men, and women no longer have any sense of shame, it creates a dangerously lopsided dynamic between the sexes.” Somebody ought to write a book . . .

Crisis or Opportunity

Posted on | June 29, 2014 | 12 Comments

The flood of illegal immigrants across the border is a crisis, says President Obama, who will reportedly request $2 billion to help stop the influx and deport the illegals. But no, says Democrat congressional leader Nancy Pelosi, it’s not a crisis, it’s an opportunity . . . for what?

To blame Republicans maybe?

Demi Lovato Keeps Dropping Hints

Posted on | June 29, 2014 | 36 Comments

Either this is a coy, slow-motion “coming out,” or else it’s a clever marketing strategy to attract a niche audience, but maybe it’s both. Whatever it is, 21-year-old former Disney starlet Demi Lovato earlier this month performed for “my #LGBT brothers and sisters” at the Los Angeles Gay Pride parade and — although she has never publicly identified herself as a lesbian — she just keeps dropping hints:

Earlier in June, pop star Demi Lovato was named Grand Marshal at the Los Angeles Pride parade.
Then, on Monday evening, the actress-singer proudly showed her support for LGBT equality at Logo TV’s Trailblazers Awards show in New York City, which honored LGBT civil rights pioneers.
The 21-year-old Heart Attack songstress took to the stage and opened up about her grandfather being gay and the challenges he was confronted with before his death.
‘I’ve never spoken about this before, but my grandfather was a trailblazer himself,’ Lovato told the audience.
She explained: ‘He was brave enough to come out in the 1960s, and I feel that a lot of my spirit has come from him. He passed away a few years later and I only wish he could have been able to see all the progress that has been made.’

Uh, “I feel that a lot of my spirit has come from him”? Could you please be more specific, Miss Lovato? Like maybe take out a full-page ad in Variety and make an announcement? Because if you’re gay, I’m totally blaming it on Joe Jonas. And also the patriarchy.

But mainly Joe Jonas.

Lesbian Celebrated #LGBTPride Month by Murdering Her Wife, Police Say

Posted on | June 29, 2014 | 63 Comments

Police say Tiffany Nowden-Vale (left) murdered Russina Vale (right).

There are hate crimes and then there are love crimes, I guess:

SAN DIEGO, Calif. — The former Colorado woman wanted in the death of her wife in California has pleaded not guilty to a murder charge.
Tiffany Nowden was arrested in California Tuesday. She had been wanted since the June 5 death of her wife, Russina Vale.
Deputy District Attorney Lindsey Carinci said the couple — who had an “on-and-off” relationship — reconnected last November and got married early this year. . . .

(Their “on-and-off” relationship? Definitely off, now.)

Heath said Vale was originally from California and decided to move back because she hated winters in Colorado.
Things seemed to be going well until late May, when Vale got into argument with Nowden at the Barona Casino, where the victim worked. Nowden was escorted off the Indian reservation, Carinci said.
The prosecutor said Vale sent an email to family and friends stating that the relationship with Nowden was over and that she was getting a divorce.

(Alas, it seems Nowden had other plans.)

Vale was found dead on June 5 when she didn’t show up for work.
Officers who made entry into the apartment found a naked Vale dead in her bed. She had been stabbed in the stomach, arm and chest, Carinci said.

By the way, there is no word on the fate of the couple’s two dogs, Scruffy and Bella, who disappeared after Vale’s murder.

Let us congratulate the lesbian community on this historic achievement: Equality in marriage and equality in murder.

Inmates Run the Facebook Asylum

Posted on | June 29, 2014 | 26 Comments

Gabriel/”Brielle” Harrison (@nyteshade) is a “Sci-Fi/Fantasy lover,” IYKWIMAITYD. Gender Identity Watch explains more:

He is also a Facebook engineer who implemented the multiple gender options on Facebook. He has made public statements that he censored Gender Identity Watch.
Harrison does not apply Facebook’s Community Standards; rather, he engages in censorship of political speech by Women, Lesbians and Gay Men.

Read the whole thing, including screen-caps of Harrison bragging about meeting with “Facebook’s TLGB safety and fairness leader.”

If you’ve ever been targeted for online harassment, as I have, you know how maddening it can be to deal with people who tell you, “Oh, it’s just the Internet.” You may also be aware that mentally ill perpetrators of harassment habitually pretend that they are the victims. In the war of Internet annihilation which they initiated and refuse to cease, your acts of self-defense are portrayed as aggressions.

Now, imagine discovering that the online service you’re dealing with in your efforts to stop the harassment have entrusted your avowed enemies with authority to decide what constitutes “abuse.”

Gender Identity Watch is a radical feminist site — certainly no friend or ally of mine — that has been targeted by transgender activists who are trying to silence them. Why? Because they are feminists who refuse to go along with the sex-change pretense. The transgenders can’t stand being criticized under the banner of “feminism.” Radical women are being censored in the name of “fairness and safety.”

Tranarchy: Gender Theory = Insanity

Posted on | June 29, 2014 | 69 Comments

Sarah Brown (@AuntySarah) is a mentally ill transsexual who was a member of the city council in Cambridge, England. Last year, the Guardian published an article about Brown’s “polyamorous” domestic arrangement with Brown’s ex-wife and another transsexual.

These people are oppressed by pronouns.

In 2010, the British parliament passed the Equality Act, which has had the effect of making accusations of discrimination the easiest way to destroy anybody you hate. The war between radical feminists and the transgender community — which I first wrote about in January — has been fought in the shadow of this ill-advised legislation.

Radical feminists (who are mostly lesbian) insist that their conferences must be “women-only” spaces. Radfems exclude transsexuals, viewing them as men trying to enact “feminine” gender roles. Radfems are all about abolishing gender roles, period, yet they are adamant that female is a biological category, and they especially hate “pretendbians” — transsexuals who claim to be lesbians. This is just male aggression, trying to co-opt lesbianism, say the radfems.

So, that’s the necessary background to what has gone on in the latest battle of the radfem-vs.-tranny war in England: Sarah Brown claims to have been harassed by radfems to the point of having a mental breakdown, a collapse into helpless depression.

Oh, no, say the radfems: Sarah Brown is not a victim any more than “she” is a lesbian. In fact, say the radfems, Brown is guilty of harassing actual women. Radfems were enraged that Brown was invited as keynote speaker (!) at this month’s Dyke March in London:

Yes, you read that right. Dyke March London, despite having a wealth of actual Lesbians to choose from, decided that a male person who claims to have relationships with women, aka a heterosexual man, was the Best Person to speak at Lesbians gathering in London for Dyke March. . . .
Sarah Brown also tells an actual female (me) and an actual Lesbian (me again) that he is more of a Lesbian than I am . . .

So you had lesbians protesting against the Dyke March:

You really have to read this to believe it.

Meanwhile, a Facebook site called Tranarchy is trying to shut down the radical feminist blog Gender Identity Watch.

And, finally, a transsexual wrote a column at Slate claiming it is oppressive to identify baby girls and boys as “girls” and “boys.”

Has the world gone completely crazy? No. The insanity is still incomplete. The world will certainly be even crazier tomorrow.
