Woman Arrested in Hate Graffiti Case

Posted on | April 7, 2019 | Comments Off on Woman Arrested in Hate Graffiti Case

 

Wednesday, under the headline “Stupid Is as Stupid Does,” I reported on this woman whose crimes were captured on video:

The Norman Police Department arrested 45-year-old Allison Johnson in connection to the recent vandalism incidents in both Norman and Oklahoma City this afternoon.
Police say she turned herself in for the crimes.
Johnson was booked into the Cleveland County Detention Center on a complaint of Terroristic Threats.
The investigation is ongoing, but for now police say they believe she was working alone.
McKinley Elementary School, the Firehouse Arts Center and the Cleveland County Democratic Headquarters were all covered in racial slurs and hate-filled messages on Wednesday morning.
The Oklahoma Democratic Party Headquarters and the Chickasaw Nation Headquarters both were vandalized with racist and threatening messages last Thursday.
According to voter registration records, in 2007 Johnson had voted twice as a registered Democrat in Edmond. Now she’s registered as a Republican in Norman.
One of Johnson’s neighbors said her daughter grew up with her, and that Johnson and her family have always been kind and generous. The news came as a total shock.
Another neighbor, Chris Tripp, also shocked. He said he couldn’t believe the person who police say vandalized his daughter’s elementary school lives just across the street.
“It’s really shocking, and really surprising to see this in Norman,” Tripp said. “You just never know who might be living near you.”

According to Heavy.com, a Facebook commenter who claims to know Johnson say she has “severe mental problems likely schizophrenia.” She apparently has no prior criminal record, and her motive for this vandalism spree — beyond craziness and stupidity — is unknown.

Joan of Argghh! on Equality

Posted on | April 6, 2019 | Comments Off on Joan of Argghh! on Equality

by Smitty

Joan posts a fine little poem about poetry over at her blog.
It seems related to a new (to me) social media site called Minds.com, which uses crypto to pay people for social media posts. I guess that might be a good thing.
Does anybody know what Twitter’s “Promote Mode” thingy does?

I’m trying to figure out if failure to pay a vig is why tweets seem to go nowhere.
The idea of paying for social media reach seems like paying for affection.
But if I were to treat the social media site like a escort service, Minds.com might be more exciting.

Are You an ‘Anti-Fat Troll’?

Posted on | April 6, 2019 | Comments Off on Are You an ‘Anti-Fat Troll’?

 

Elizabeth Di Filippo (@mselizabethr on Twitter) is a Canadian feminist who is a “lifestyle editor” for Yahoo News, and she is offended that some people consider it unhealthy to be fat:

Earlier this week, Gillette Venus’s social media accounts shared a photo of Anna O’Brien . . . frolicking in the ocean with the caption, “Go out there and slay the day.”
Almost immediately, Venus came under fire for “promoting” and “glorifying obesity,” with the brand’s multiple social media channels overflowed with anti-fat hate speech. One scroll through Instagram and Twitter and I witnessed everything from debates about diabetes and heart disease, to requests for the company to delete the post.
This latest “controversy” for Gillette follows closely on the heels of its commercial that sparked outrage for calling out toxic masculinity, with many branding the company “anti-male.” It just so happens to have occurred while I’m in the middle of building a series about the body positivity movement, and its impact of social media.
For the past month, I’ve spent countless hours researching and speaking to advocates and health experts about health, weight and weight-stigma. The process has been one of tremendous self-reflection and humility, as I realize that my own deep-seated biases and fatphobia, which I thought had been addressed and resolved, are still very much alive.
One of the things that has stood out for me the most is the disservice of the medical field to pathologize weight, and declare a “war on obesity.”
Despite what we’ve been told through sound bites on television and eye-catching headlines, weight has very little to do with a person’s overall health.

Except, of course, obesity does impact health, quite negatively, and this impact is not a result of “biases and fatphobia.” While on the one hand, a slightly pudgy person is not necessarily less healthy than a skinnier person, it is a completely different matter — indeed, it is irresponsible — to pretend that morbid obesity is harmless. It is not “anti-fat hate speech” to point out the health risks of being as obese as Ann O’Brien, who weighs over 300 pounds. One would think that a feminist like Elizabeth Di Filippo would be aware of how Andrea Dworkin suffered in her later years, and died at age 58, due to complications of decades of obesity.

Of course, matters of health are not why feminists celebrate obesity. Rather, this is part of their attack on “patriarchal beauty standards,” which is to say that feminists consider it oppression for men to prefer beauty to ugliness. By the way, I must ask, why would a news organization hire an avowed ideologue as a “lifestyle editor”? Why is it that a woman who declares herself a feminist isn’t viewed as skeptically as, say, a Muslim who pledges allegiance to Hamas? Feminists hate men at least as much as Palestinian terrorists hate Israelis, but we’re not allowed to say this, because a man will be accused of “misogyny” if he objects to being demonized as an oppressor of women. So while Yahoo News would never employ an avowed conservative as a “lifestyle editor,” Ms. Di Filippo is paid to wage an ideological crusade against men and call this propaganda “journalism.” But I digress . . .

Adam Piggott invokes Rollo Tomassi’s “feminine imperative” concept to analyze Gillette’s celebration of female obesity as an aspect of “the feminist desire to maximize female sexual selection opportunities whilst limiting male selection strategies as much as possible”:

Obese and unhealthy women being promoted in this way and openly celebrated by men feeds into this premise. On the one hand over 80% of men are ignored on dating apps as they do not fit the female selection criteria, a criteria that has not changed for millennia. . . .
Women are able to have extraordinary lists of attributes that potential male suitors must possess, but men are not allowed to have any whatsoever. Men cannot have similar selection criteria because that is deemed offensive to women.

Adam is very close to nailing the point here. Feminism is a collectivist political movement based on a zero-sum-game mentality that seeks to inflict punishment on males in the belief that anything that harms men (as a group) must necessarily benefit women (as a group). This perverse belief system manifests itself in the tendency of feminists to find “oppression” in ordinary male behaviors and attitudes that are entirely harmless. Any male expression of admiration for female beauty, for example, is punished as “harassment” or “objectification,” and why? Simply because men enjoy beauty, and anything men enjoy must be wrong, according to feminism’s zero-sum calculus. Thus, feminism becomes a campaign to eliminate every source of male joy in the world.

This is what “fat feminism” (what Ms. Di Filippo calls “the body positivity movement”) is really about. As Adam Piggott points out, feminists have no intention of lowering the standards by which men are judged; indeed, feminists judge males by a standard so impossibly harsh that all men are condemned as sexist oppressors. “Body positivity” is about protecting women from any comparable standard of male judgment. You may be sure that Ms. Di Filippo would dump her boyfriend if he became a bloated slob, but “body positivity” means he cannot complain if she gains 50 pounds. In this as in so many other things, feminism is not really about “equality,” but rather a unilateral attack against men, motivated by a zero-sum-game calculus that views an increase in male unhappiness as a positive good, regardless of whether women benefit from the harm inflicted on men. Whatever is bad for men must be good, the feminist believes, and even if an obese woman might be happier and healthier if she lost some weight, feminism would rather her stay fat, because her obesity is a defiance of “patriarchal beauty standards,” or whatever.

Feminism Is a Totalitarian Movement to Destroy Civilization as We Know It, and this destruction takes many different forms, including a razor company promoting a 330-pound lesbian as a role model.

Another Public-Relations Debacle for Houston’s ‘Drag Queen Story Time’

Posted on | April 5, 2019 | Comments Off on Another Public-Relations Debacle for Houston’s ‘Drag Queen Story Time’

William Travis Dees as “Sister Jeff” (lower right).

“Drag Queen Story Time” at the Houston Public Library suffered a serious public-relations setback last month after it was revealed that one of the participants, “Tatiana Mala Nina,” who had been reading to children as part of the program, was in fact Albert Alfonso Garza, 32, a sex offender who had been convicted of molesting a child in 2008.

Albert Alfonso Garza performs in a Houston gay bar as ‘Tatiana Mala-Niña.’

“Drag Queen Story Time” was discontinued in the wake of that revelation, although library officials “said in a March 22 statement . . . that the program should be back in [the library] in the summer of 2019.”

Well, maybe, but on the other hand, maybe not. Because the same activist group that ID’d the sex offender Garza has now reported that another sex offender was involved in “Space City Sisters,” a drag group that turned out at the library to support the story-time event.

Mass Resistance Texas announced at a Thursday press conference in Houston that they had identified a “Space City Sisters” member known as “Sister Jeff” to be 30-year-old William Travis Dees, a/k/a “Liza Lott,” a/k/a “Elizabeth Anne Davidson.” In 2005, Dees was convicted as a juvenile of indecency with a child (evidently, boys age 6 and younger) and is registered as a high-risk sex offender. Video of the press conference:

 

Mass Resistance activist Tracy Shannon explains that it took months of investigation to determine that “Sister Jeff” a/k/a “Liz Davidson” is in fact the convicted sex offender Dees, who published an article last year describing “her” work as a transgender dominatrix.

William Dees a/k/a “Elizabeth Davidson,” transgender dominatix.

So the convicted sex offender/BDSM dominatrix was involved in a Houston public library activity for children, as proven by two photos posted online by the “Drag Queen Story Time” organizers:

 

 

Gosh, what a wholesome event for children! And remember that Houston Public Library officials say “Drag Queen Story Time” will return this summer! What kind of parents would bring their children to such an activity? And why aren’t city officials investigating the organizers? Isn’t it obvious that these people are dangerously crazy?

 

By the way, Kaeley Triller makes a point: If you were a sex offender trying to conceal your identity, wouldn’t declaring yourself transgender and getting a new name be helpful in that regard? Remember, it took months of investigation for Mass Resistance to identify “Sister Jeff” as William Dees, and who knows how many other convicted sex offenders might be using transgender identity to conceal their past?

P.S.: “Space City Sisters” tacitly confirms the Mass Resistance report, saying “one of our former members . . . resigned effective March 4th.”

Burned by His Own Fire: Joe Biden Promoted Campus ‘Rape Culture’ Hysteria

Posted on | April 5, 2019 | Comments Off on Burned by His Own Fire: Joe Biden Promoted Campus ‘Rape Culture’ Hysteria

 

Ashe Schow reminds us that as vice president, Joe Biden was responsible for pushing the “affirmative consent” model:

While speaking to students at the University of New Hampshire in 2011, then-Vice President Joe Biden told men in the audience that “no matter what a girl does, no matter how she’s dressed, no matter how much she’s had to drink — it’s never, never, never, never, never OK to touch her without her consent.”

Biden never imagined that he would be forced to comply with the rules the Obama administration was imposing on college boys. The 2011 “Dear Colleague” letter led to the destruction of due-process protections, so that all male students were presumed guilty of rape the moment they set foot on campus. All it took was one accusation — from a drunken hook-up or an embittered ex-girlfriend — to have a male student expelled, and this regime had the effect of prohibiting heterosexual activity on U.S. campuses. Shifting the burden of proof to the accused, so that a male student was expected somehow to prove that he had obtained “affirmative consent” for everything that happened between himself and his partner, made any such activity impossible.

More than 100 lawsuits have been filed against universities by male students who say they were falsely accused and wrongly deprived of their constitutional rights under the rules implemented in the wake of the Obama administration’s “Dear Colleague” letter. If you’ve ever had the opportunity to speak to the accused students or their parents — as Ashe Schow and I have — you know how devastating that policy has been, and it’s wrong for Joe Biden’s defenders to complain now that this policy is being retroactively enforced against him. Tell that to the college boy who was expelled a few months before graduation because of unsubstantiated accusations by a girl he briefly dated his sophomore year.

Seven different women now say they were victims of Biden’s non-consensual groping, and the evidence against him is far more conclusive than in some of the campus cases with which I’m familiar. K.C. Johnson, who co-authored the must-read book The Campus Rape Frenzy, reminds us of why it is hypocritical for Democrats to defend Biden:

Biden responded with fury to Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos’ ­attempts to create fairer procedures for adjudicating campus sexual assault claims. In a September 2017 conference call with victims’ rights activists, the former vice president derided DeVos’ supporters as “culturally Neanderthals.” . . .
Biden’s current situation recalls that of former Sen. Al Franken, who bitterly criticized DeVos’ ­Title IX policies, only to flail about in defending himself against allegations (mostly less serious than what Biden faces) of sexual misconduct. Ideologically boxed in, Franken couldn’t defend himself by challenging his accusers’ veracity, lest he appear to reject the party’s consensus about believing all complainants.
In an ideal world, Joe Biden would use his new experience as an ­accused party to champion fairer treatment across the board. More likely, he will fall back on a double standard, demanding that he receive the benefit of the doubt denied to others — especially students with far less power than he possesses.

Why did Biden think he could get away with groping women? Because he’s a Democrat, and expected liberal journalists to look the other way. Unfortunately for Joe, many of his would-be defenders in the media have been destroyed by their own #MeToo problems. Tom Brokaw, Charlie Rose, Tavis Smiley, Mark Halperin, Ryan Lizza, Matt Lauer — the list goes on and on, and what did Biden do to halt this anti-male witch-hunt before it became his turn to be burnt at the stake? Nothing.

Let Biden burn in the bonfire of feminist rage he did so much to kindle.

#GetWokeGoBroke Update: Gillette Now Pandering to Fat Feminist Market?

Posted on | April 4, 2019 | Comments Off on #GetWokeGoBroke Update: Gillette Now Pandering to Fat Feminist Market?

Anna O’Brien (@glitterandlazers on Instagram) is a 330-pound lesbian who, among other things, made headlines last year by posing in a bikini in Times Square and then complaining that men “sexualized” her. (Because she hates all men, being “sexualized” by them is a bad thing.)

Why would Gillette feature her on their Twitter feed, where the negative comments-to-likes ratio was so phenomenal? Recall that earlier this year, Gillette sparked controversy with an advertisement that used the accusation of “toxic masculinity” to insult men. It turned out the company had hired a feminist agency headed by an outspoken left-wing anti-Trumper, and the CEO of Gillette’s parent company, Proctor & Gamble, defended the ad by saying, “It started a conversation.”

Evidently, the people in the executive suites at major corporations have decided that pandering to the “social justice” mob is the smart thing to do in the Trump age. Better to insult males and associate your brand with 300-pound lesbians than to be suspected of GOP sympathies. It’s like NFL players engaging in anti-patriotic protests — Gillette has ceased to be about selling razors and is now about radical politics. Expressing their contempt toward ordinary Americans is more important to them than anything else, including profits. #GetWokeGoBroke.
