Why P&G Has Gone SJW

Posted on | June 3, 2019 | 22 Comments

 

Carl Benjamin calls attention to a recent article featuring an interview with Carolyn Tastad, president of the North American division of Procter & Gamble, and the executive responsible for the series of “woke” ads by Gillette. These ads have demonized men for “toxic masculinity,” celebrated female obesity and promoted transgenderism.

What happened to, y’know, companies making profits? Selling products, increasing market share, all the other stuff we expect businesses to do?

None of that matters, according the feminist executive, who says Procter & Gamble’s corporate mission is “advocating for a more equal world”:

We believe that advertising has the power to change mindsets. In many cases, it really influences popular culture because it’s seen so many times and with such frequency. And so a very big part of our gender equality effort is really focused on leveraging our voice in advertising and media. The Gillette campaign, which I’m so proud of, takes on this other important conversation about modern masculinity. . . .
I mean, the role of men matters in this space, right? Men need to play an equally important role as women in eliminating bias, promoting equality, demonstrating positive social and cultural behavior. You know, all too often we talk about gender inequality as a woman’s problem. But it has to be something that is an issue for all of us, it’s about men and women advocating for a more equal world. That’s a better role for all of us.

Notice how “more equal” becomes a synonym for better.

“The best a man can be” is therefore . . . what? Successful? No, it is wrong for men to succeed, because in the zero-sum-game mentality of feminism, male success is always evidence of discrimination against women. If a man gets a promotion, this is because of his “male privilege.” The agenda of “promoting equality” stigmatizes male success. In the interview, Ms. Tastad boasts that half of P&G’s management is female, but why should this corporate quota regime stop at 50%? Why not make it 100%? Because frankly, I can’t imagine why any man would want to work for Procter & Gamble. Ms. Tastad’s company is almost certainly discriminating against male employees, establishing de facto quotas in order to achieve a statistical “equality” (in the same way, and for similar reasons, that Harvard discriminates against Asian students).

In case you missed this news last August:

Procter & Gamble has announced that the number of jobs at the company is at an all-time low, with the headcount down 3.2 percent from last year, with just 92,000 people on the payroll worldwide, down 3,000 from last year.
Under increasing pressure to lower costs following restructuring efforts, the company has reported there will be more job cuts to come as sales growth has failed to turn around. . . .
A new heavily automated site in West Virginia will give opportunity for less employment as the products manufactured won’t be touched by humans until they reach retail stores.

Get woke, go broke, and lose your job to a robot.

Two Trannies Arrested in Child Pornography Case Involving 7-Year-Old

Posted on | June 2, 2019 | 1 Comment

Matthew ‘Marina’ Volz (left); Adam ‘Ashley’ Romero (right).

Franklin Township, New Jersey:

Somerset County Prosecutor Michael H. Robertson, Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office Chief of County Detectives John W. Fodor and Franklin Township Chief of Police Richard Grammar announced the arrest of four individuals, Sean Allen, age 51, Marina Volz (formerly known as Matthew Volz), age 30, Ashley D. Romero (formerly known as Adam Romero), age 26, and Dulcinea Gnecco, age 19, all of Coburn Lane in Franklin Township, N.J., on charges including aggravated sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child (age 7, known to the defendants).
Prosecutor Robertson stated that these arrests were made after a five month investigation conducted by the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office Sex Crimes/Child Abuse Unit. In January of 2019, the Prosecutor’s Office received a referral from the New Jersey Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCP&P) reporting that a 7-year old child was residing in a home on Coburn Lane in Franklin Township, N.J., where Marina Volz (formerly known as Matthew Volz) and his roommates were creating pornography. On January 28, 2019, a search warrant was executed at the residence and it was discovered that the child was in fact residing in the home where a pornography production company was being operated, exposing the child to sexually-explicit matter. Electronic items, including cell phones and computers were seized for forensic examination. The child was subsequently removed from the home by the Division of Child Protection and Permanency in January 2019.
Prosecutor Robertson stated that during the examination and analysis of the electronic devices, several sexually-explicit photos and videos of the 7-year old victim were located. Criminal complaints were signed against four of the residents of the home. The defendants and their charges are as follows:

Marina E. Volz (formerly known as Matthew L. Volz) — 1st degree Aggravated Sexual Assault, 1st degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child (for the manufacturing of child pornography), two counts of 2nd degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child, 3rd degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child (for the possession of child pornography)
Ashley D. Romero (formerly known as Adam D. Romero) — 1st degree Aggravated Sexual Assault, 1st degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child (for the manufacturing of child pornography), two counts of 2nd degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child, and 3rd degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child (for the possession of child pornography)
Sean F. Allen — 1st degree Aggravated Sexual Assault, three counts of 3rd degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child (one count specifically for the possession of child pornography)
Dulcinea Gnecco — 1st degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child (for the manufacturing of child pornography) and 3rd degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child (for the possession of child pornography)

On Wednesday, May 29, 2019, detectives from the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office, along with detectives from the Franklin Township Police Department arrested the above-listed individuals at their Coburn Lane residence without incident. They were all transported to the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office for processing and later lodged at the Somerset County Jail, pending a detention hearing.

This story has been widely reported, but one aspect of the case requires further investigation: How did these four people end up living together in New Jersey? Matthew L. “Marina” Volz is apparently from Beaverton, Oregon, and two years ago in June 2017, was featured in an article as president of the Queer Student Association at Clark College in Vancouver, Washington. Assuming that this is the same person — and how many transgender people named “Marina Volz” could there be? — the question is how Volz made his/“her” way to New Jersey.

My suspicion is that these people met online and that the 51-year-old man, Sean Allen, had invited these people to move in with him to start the “pornography production company.” How did Allen obtain custody of a 7-year-old child? Was this his grandchild? Where were the parents?

This story deserves additional reporting, and I’m thinking about making some calls to Somerset County officials on Monday.

How Much Do I Love Bill Barr?

Posted on | May 31, 2019 | Comments Off on How Much Do I Love Bill Barr?

Let me put it this way: Although I strongly disapprove of homosexuality, our Attorney General makes me feel like a Log Cabin Republican, because gosh, I just love this guy that much. If loving Bill Barr is wrong, I don’t want to be right. The reason for my deep man-crush, of course, is the interview The Love-God of Justice™ did with Jan Crawford of CBS News. How good is it? Obscenely good. Pornographically good. So good, you’ll feel guilty for how much you enjoy it. Ace of Spades provides an annotated transcript, which should be narrated by Barry White with the Love Unlimited Orchestra doing the background music.

Disgraced FBI Agent Peter Strzok Didn’t Tell Trump Campaign About Investigation

Posted on | May 31, 2019 | Comments Off on Disgraced FBI Agent Peter Strzok Didn’t Tell Trump Campaign About Investigation

 

Catherine Herridge of Fox News reports:

A mid-August 2016 counterintelligence briefing for the Trump campaign did not specifically warn officials about Russian outreach to the Trump team, nor did it warn that two campaign aides, Mike Flynn and George Papadopoulos, were already under FBI investigation, Fox News has learned.
The new details about the so-called “defensive briefing” have emerged from congressional letters, text messages between FBI agent Peter Strzok and lawyer Lisa Page, and sources familiar with the matter. Such briefings are designed to warn the candidate and his team about national security threats.
“There was a defensive briefing of candidate Trump on Aug. 17 of 2016,” Texas Rep. John Ratcliffe, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, said Thursday on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom.” “And I can tell you what he wasn’t told: He wasn’t warned about a Russia investigation that Peter Strzok had opened 18 days earlier.”
Strzok, who was later removed from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigative team for sending anti-Trump texts, was a central coordinator for the FBI on the defensive briefing, which included multiple agencies. Three weeks earlier, Strzok opened an FBI counterintelligence investigation into campaign aide George Papadopoulos.

(Hat-tip: Jeff Dunetz.)

People who get their news from CNN and MSNBC have no idea about any of the shady stuff relating to the origins of the “Russia collusion” hoax. Fox is the only network that is covering this story, and the average Democrat doesn’t have any inkling of what was going on with the Steele dossier and the various ways that people like Carter Page, Michael Flynn and George Papadopoulos were targeted by what looks very much like entrapment — an effort to manufacture the appearance of “collusion” in order to justify surveillance of the Trump campaign. U.S. intelligence and law-enforcement officials at the highest levels must have approved this operation, and therefore the real scandal is not what Trump did, but rather what the Obama administration did. CNN and MSNBC are attempting to conceal this scandal from their viewers, and thus damaging their own credibility as news organizations.

Crazy People Are Dangerous

Posted on | May 31, 2019 | 1 Comment

 

A man who lit himself on fire in front of the White House this week has died, and has been identified as Arnav Gupta, 33. While his motive is unknown, TMZ reports that D.C. police sources say they believe Gupta was under the influence of drugs, including PCP. Gupta grew up in the affluent D.C. suburb of Bethesda, Maryland, and attended elite schools, graduating from Landon School for boys in 2004 and Boston University in 2008. When your parents can afford to send you to Landon (tuition $43,560 a year) and BU ($69,668 a year, including room and board), they probably expect you to accomplish great things in life, and it doesn’t seem as if Arnav Gupta was accomplishing much of anything.

Heavy-dot-com reports that Gupta worked a couple of years after college as a coach at Landon School, and recently self-published a rather deranged poem called “Memoirs of a Shadow President.” According to his LinkedIn profile, Gupta had worked five years in “property management” which, if I had to guess, was related to his parents’ business. In short, he was an over-educated loser, a bum, a slacker, a disappointment to his family, and setting himself on fire in front of the White House was an act of desperate madness. Crazy People Are Dangerous.
