The Tyranny of Bright Normal
Posted on | January 17, 2018 | 1 Comment
Why do the media hate President Trump so much? Well, to begin with, he’s a Republican, and they’re Democrat operatives with bylines. Beyond that, however, the media think of themselves as members of what Richard Florida calls “the creative class,” and Trump’s a bright normal.
Readers familiar with The Bell Curve understand that cognitive sorting occurs by occupation and education level. However, students of economics understand that not all skills are created equal. You may think I’m a clever writer, but what’s cleverness worth in the marketplace? How much demand for clever writing exists, and how limited is the supply? The average reader doesn’t discern much difference in value between writing that’s just competent and writing that’s truly excellent and, in the grand scheme of things, I am nothing more than what the digital gurus call a “content provider,” the value of which is a dime a dozen.
Being a mature adult, I long ago adjusted to this economic reality, but this is quite obviously not true of the reporters who spent Tuesday afternoon shouting questions at President Trump’s physician. What’s the salary of a New York Times White House correspondent?
A. Probably more than you make;
B. Much more than I’ve ever made;
and yet also
C. Far less than he thinks he’s worth.
This is one of the most astonishing things about the media elite. They’re paid salaries that far exceed the average American’s income, yet they consider themselves as underpaid and underappreciated, and therefore emotionally identify with the oppressed victims of social injustice.
Why? Because status is always relative. Read more

Late Night With Rule 5 Sunday: Stacey Dash
Posted on | January 15, 2018 | 3 Comments
— compiled by Wombat-socho
For better or for worse, I seem to be on a roll of actresses turned conservative culture warriors, and so we have Stacey Dash this week as our poster girl for fighting back against the Pink Goo of leftist political correctness. For those of you that came in late, Stacey walked off the Democratic plantation after voting for Obama in 2008; her public support for Mitt Romney won her a fair bit of abuse from the Left and her fellow celebrities (BIRM) but nevertheless, she persisted. A former commentator on Fox News’ Outnumbered, she was released last January, but is still active on social media and writes a column for Patheos.

Feminists Hate All Men, So Why Expect Them to Love ‘Male Feminists’?
Posted on | January 15, 2018 | 2 Comments
“Women are an oppressed class. Our oppression is total, affecting every facet of our lives. . . .
“We identify the agents of our oppression as men. . . . All men receive economic, sexual, and psychological benefits from male supremacy. All men have oppressed women.”
— Redstockings Manifesto, 1969
“The first condition for escaping from forced motherhood and sexual slavery is escape from the patriarchal institution of marriage.”
— Alison M. Jaggar, 1988
“I believe it can be shown that, historically, lesbianism and feminism have been coterminous if not identical social phenomena.”
— Bonnie Zimmerman, 1997
“Every time I see a dirty cup on the kitchen counter, my face gets red. The level of disrespect feels . . . as if Andrew has hopped on the counter, pulled down his pants, and taken a shit there for me to clean up. My husband is lovely. He is a feminist. . . .
“Our default mood is low-level annoyance toward each other with a propensity to turn into full-blown rage at the smallest thing. . . .
“I feel like I might hate him and I suspect he feels the same.”
— Jessica Valenti, 2016
Glenn Reynolds calls attention to an article by Debra Soh, who seeks to explain the “male feminist” phenomenon by invoking evolutionary psychology. She sees this as a type of mating strategy “in which subordinate males manage to accomplish mating with females — which they otherwise might not get to do — by taking advantage of instances in which dominant (and more appealing) males are preoccupied, fighting off intruders. This has been observed across multiple species in the animal kingdom and in humans, it takes the form of feminist men.”
This is wrong. Doh does not factor into her assessment the actual impact of feminism on women, which is to make them undesirable as mates, especially in the only context where an evolutionary explanation is applicable, i.e., in terms of reproduction. Feminist ideology is not merely anti-male, but also anti-marriage and, especially, anti-motherhood. Feminists advocate abortion, contraception and homosexuality as means of preventing women from becoming mothers. This is why, insofar as a young man is interested in having a wife and children, he should avoid associating with any woman who identifies herself as a feminist.
Suppose, as a hypothetical scenario, that a young man meets a woman who is both attractive and heterosexual. Such women seldom become feminists, and there is no incentive for a man to play the “male feminist” game in that scenario. If, however, in the course of their introductory conversation, the woman makes a point of expressing feminist beliefs, what should the young man do? My advice is, walk away.
Because she hates you, and The First Rule of Feminism is SHUT UP.
Feminists hate men almost as much as feminists hate babies. The only reason a feminist would want to marry a man is to enjoy the sadistic pleasure of making him miserable the rest of his life. Go read my review of Jessica Valenti’s book Sex Object and ask yourself if her husband Andrew Golis wouldn’t have been wiser to have thrown himself off the Empire State Building, rather than marrying that hate-filled monster.
The “male feminist” has made an erroneous calculation, rooted in a misguided understanding of female psychology and feminist ideology. In describing feminism as “coterminous” with lesbianism, Professor Bonnie Zimmerman — a pioneer in the field of Women’s Studies — was stating what every student of modern feminism must acknowledge. Feminists are psychologically abnormal women. They can never actually love men, and derive no emotional satisfaction from male companionship. This is true even of feminists like Jessica Valenti who call themselves “heterosexual.” In her memoir Sex Object, she makes clear that her “lovely feminist” husband is not exempt from her hatred of males. Because feminist ideology categorically condemns males as oppressors of women, it’s scarcely surprising that she interprets “a dirty cup on the kitchen counter” as a gesture of “disrespect” from her husband.
This is why the “male feminist” strategy is a failure, in terms of enabling men to “accomplish mating with females.” No man, not even the “subordinate males” described by the evolutionary theory Debra Soh invokes, would rationally prefer as his mate a psychologically disturbed woman like Jessica Valenti. Even if he were able to endure her implacable hostility, what about his children? Would any wise person trust a helpless child to the care of a pro-abortion fanatic like Jessica Valenti, a blasphemous atheist consumed by a demonic spirit of cruelty?
Feminist ideology only appeals to women so devoid of normal human sympathy, so warped by resentment and rage, that they prefer to kill babies rather than to care for them. Feminism is a death cult whose devotees derive pleasure from hatred, and are incapable of love.
Love requires respect. The basic claim of feminism is that men are oppressors of women, and thus deserve no respect. A bully does not respect a coward, and a feminist does not respect a “male feminist.” By trying to appease her, the “male feminist” inspires her contempt. The feminist understands, at a subconscious level at least, that her implacable hatred of males is irrational, and that her anti-male rhetoric is a slanderous insult to any honest and decent man. The feminist is therefore correct if she concludes that any man who seeks to convince her that he shares her ideology is either a fool or a liar, or perhaps both.
Even worse from a Darwinian perspective, the “male feminist” communicates his weakness, desperation and low status. After all, there are plenty of guys doing just fine with women without having to grovel in obeisance to the idolatrous cult of gender equality.
If a guy can get laid without playing the “male feminist” game, what does this say about guys who do play that game? In many cases, we discover, the “male feminist” is actually a sexual predator (e.g., “Male Feminist Comedian Aziz Ansari Accused Of Sexual Assault”). There is a reason why I advise young men, never talk to a feminist:
Guys: Learn to take a hint. Learn to walk away.
If a woman tells you she is a feminist, say nothing and walk away.
No feminist wants to hear what a man has to say, and life is too short to waste your time taking to feminists. Just walk away.
Leave feminists alone, and then they can complain about that.
God knows, they’ve always got to have something to complain about.
Guys who ignore that advice are at risk being accused of sexual harassment or assault. A feminist is apt to interpret anything a man says to her as “harassment,” and any overt sexual gesture — a kiss, a hug, whatever — may later result in an accusation of sexual assault.
Trust me, boys: If you meet a woman who actually likes you, she won’t say one damned word about feminism. She understands that genuinely attractive men don’t have to put up with that crap to get laid. So if she does mention feminism, it’s a signal she’s not interested in you. Besides, feminists usually have herpes, so even if she was interested in you, that wouldn’t be a good thing. It’s a lose-lose situation, really, and the worst outcome would be for you to lose all self-respect and became that loathsome and useless creature, the “male feminist.”

Violence Against Women: Video Shows Confession in MS-13 Gang Murder
Posted on | January 14, 2018 | 1 Comment
Venus Romero Iraheta pleaded guilty to murdering a 15-year-old girl.
MS-13, Mara Salvatrucha, is a notoriously violent criminal gang formed in Los Angeles in the 1980s by “millions of immigrants from El Salvador [who] came to the United States after a violent civil war” in that country (which President Trump recently called a “sh–hole”).
Last week, a Maryland teenager pleaded guilty to murdering a 15-year-old girl she blamed for the death of her boyfriend:
“I grabbed her by the throat and I couldn’t help but hit her.”
That is what 18-year-old Venus Romero Iraheta said during an interrogation with police as she confessed to the brutal gang-related murder of a 15-year-old girl in Fairfax County.
Iraheta pleaded guilty to first-degree murder, abduction and criminal street gang participation in the stabbing death of Damaris Reyes Rivas on Monday.
The interrogation video was recorded on Feb. 14, a month after the murder. Officials released it Wednesday just days after Iraheta’s guilty plea. . . .
Iraheta, who was 17 years old at the time of the murder, told interrogators that she sought to avenge the death of her boyfriend, Christian Sosa Rivas, a known member of MS-13. She believed Reyes Rivas was responsible for his death and arranged to have her taken into the woods at Lake Accotink Park, where Iraheta tortured and interrogated Reyes Rivas before stabbing her to death.
In the interrogation video, Iraheta describes what she said to the victim.
Through a translator, Iraheta told police: “You’re going to remember me until the day we see each other in hell. Don’t forget my name. And I told her my full name and I told her my nickname. And I told it to her and I told her to never forget who I was. I told her someday we were going to see each other again.”
Officer: “And then what did you do?”
Iraheta in English: “I killed her.”
Officer: “How did you kill her?”
Iraheta in English: “With a knife.” . . .
Investigators say Iraheta did not act alone. Nine others were arrested in connection to Reyes Rivas’ death.
According to court documents, Reyes Rivas, who was a student at Watkins Mill High School in Gaithersburg, Maryland, was taken from Montgomery County to Lake Accotink Park in Fairfax County [Virginia] where several MS-13 gang members were waiting. . . .
As Reyes Rivas lay dying, authorities said two others stabbed her in the neck with a sharpened stake. In all, officials said Reyes Rivas was stabbed 19 times. Authorities said the group then used a rope to drag her body to an area under the I-495 overpass and put her face down in a shallow puddle and covered her with railroad ties. . . .
According to officials, much of the brutal crime was recorded on video with the intent to send it to the MS-13 leadership in El Salvador for promotions within the ranks of the gang. Officials said the video was recovered from Apple’s Cloud and was a key part of their investigation.

Feminists keep ignoring such violence against women, for some reason.

Illegal Alien Causes Mayhem by Threatening to Shoot Bus Passengers
Posted on | January 14, 2018 | Comments Off on Illegal Alien Causes Mayhem by Threatening to Shoot Bus Passengers
Margarito Vargas-Rosas was arrested Friday.
The man arrested for allegedly threatening to shoot and kill people on a Greyhound bus Friday night was a previously deported illegal immigrant living in Chicago, Racine County Sheriff Christopher Schmaling said Saturday.
During a news conference Saturday afternoon at the Racine County Sheriff’s Office substation, Schmaling said Margarito Vargas-Rosas, 33, was being held in the Lake County (Ill.) Jail in Waukegan on pending charges of making terroristic threats, a Class I felony, and misdemeanor disorderly conduct.
The sequence of events leading to Vargas-Rosas’ arrest began on board a Greyhound bus bound for Chicago from Milwaukee on Interstate 94, Schmaling said. At 9:45 p.m., while the bus was in Milwaukee County, at least two passengers aboard the bus called 911 to report a man was threatening to shoot and kill passengers.
Milwaukee County deputies were unable to stop the bus and turned the call over to Racine County Sheriff’s Office deputies to make the stop, Schmaling said. . . .
In Kenosha County, the Sheriff’s Department there and Wisconsin State Patrol joined in trying to pull the Greyhound over, Schmaling said. Their assistance included spiking the bus tires. . . .
“The suspect was ordered out at gunpoint,” the sheriff said. “He did comply — rather reluctantly — but he was ultimately taken into custody without incident.”
There were 37 people on the bus, including Vargas-Rosas and the driver, Schmaling said. . . .
Schmaling said Vargas-Rosas, 33, works at a restaurant in Milwaukee and was taking the bus home to Chicago, where he resides illegally.
“I use the ‘illegally’ because we were notified by immigration authorities that Mr. Vargas-Rosas, the 33-year-old, has been in our country illegally and was deported some time ago back to Mexico, and by virtue of his actions (Friday) night, we see he’s back and threatening to kill Americans.”
Officials will send him back to his “sh–hole country,” again.
Anarchy in the @UKLabour: Party Will Put Trannies on ‘All Women Shortlist’
Posted on | January 14, 2018 | 2 Comments
As radical as the transgender agenda has become in the United States, it’s gone even further in Great Britain, where the taxpayer-funded healthcare system now encourages “transition” for children as young as 12. The number of minors being referred to NHS gender clinics has quadrupled since 2012, raising widespread concern about “social contagion” as a factor in so-called “rapid onset gender dysphoria” among British youth.
Many feminists have criticized these policies, only to be met with “no-platforming” — denying them opportunities to speak at universities or publish in mainstream journalist. In some cases, transgender activists have threatened or physically attacked their feminists critics. Now the British Labour Party has decided to appease transgender activists:
Labour should consider allowing transgender women to be included on all-women shortlists, the party’s shadow equalities minister, Dawn Butler, has said.
In an interview with the House magazine, Butler said: “I think if a trans woman wanted to be included in an all-women shortlist then that should be considered.
“I just don’t think people really need to make a big fuss about it. I mean if one of my team members came into the office and decided that James wanted to be called Jane and was now a woman I would not say ‘prove it, what do you mean?’” . . .
Her remarks follow the heated debate over the role of trans teenager Lily Madigan, who was elected women’s officer at her constituency Labour party in Kent.
A teenage boy is now a Labour “women’s officer,” and Butler wants to include transgender candidates in Labour’s “all women shortlist,” a discriminatory quota system the party instituted in the 1990s:
The use of all-women shortlists (AWS) is an positive discrimination practice intended to increase the proportion of female Members of Parliament (MPs) in the United Kingdom, allowing only women to stand in particular constituencies for a particular political party. . . .
The strategy has been criticised as undemocratic, as “bypassing competitive principles and hence as ignoring the merit principle,” and as “a form of discrimination against men.” For the 1992 General Election the Labour Party had a policy of ensuring there was at least one statutory female candidate on each of its shortlists, however few of these women were successful in being selected in winnable seats (seats within a 6% swing). Following polling that suggested women were less likely to vote Labour than men, the party introduced All-women shortlists at its 1993 annual conference.
Labour used all-women shortlists to select candidates in half of all winnable seats for the 1997 general election, with the aim of reaching 100 women MPs post-election, a goal that was reached.
In other words, Labour has spent more than two decades actively discriminating against male candidates as a matter of party policy, yet now the party’s leadership has declared that men can evade this political discrimination by “identifying” as women. The controversy last year over Liam “Lily” Madigan highlighted this insanity:
Madigan hit the headlines after arguing that Anne Ruzylo, a Labour Party women’s officer in a different constituency, should be sacked for being ‘transphobic’. Ruzylo, a lesbian, feminist and trade unionist, had criticised the sanctification of the trans movement. For this, she was labelled a ‘terf’ (trans exclusionary radical feminist) and was harassed by transgender activists online. Eventually, the executive committee of Ruzylo’s local Labour branch resigned in protest at her mistreatment.
So, here we have a trans teen who has previously been part of an effort to undermine a women’s officer’s career now being elected as a women’s officer. Understandably, some are angry about this. How can a teenager who has only recently declared himself to be a woman be eligible as a women’s officer? . . .
[I]dentity politics and the cult of diversity have now gone so far that women in politics are being pressured to accept a man as their ‘female representative’.
Incidentally, Madigan has declared his/“her” intention to run for a seat in Parliament and if Americans imagine this sort of trans-feminism can be kept on the other side of the pond, they should be aware that Bradley “Chelsea” Manning is running for Senate in Maryland.
People need to wake the hell up.
