Fake News: The Media Are Lying About James Damore’s Google ‘Manifesto’

Posted on | August 9, 2017 | 3 Comments

Bre Payton at the Federalist has an excellent compilation of biased media reports about fired Google engineer James Damore’s viral memo, and the blatant dishonesty is enough to shock even those of us who have spent decades fighting liberal bias in journalism. Repeatedly, headlines mischaracterize Damore’s views as “anti-diversity” (despite his clearly stated support for diversity) and news articles falsely assert that Damore argued women were “genetically unsuited” (Washington Post) or “biologically unfit” (CNN) to work in high tech.

Are these journalists simply illiterate? Do they lack the reading comprehension skills necessary to understand what James Damore wrote? Or is it rather the case, as I believe, that feminist gender theory has attained the status of an official religion within academia and journalism, so that skeptics are excluded from employment in these fields? If all your professors are committed to Third Wave feminist ideology — the social construction of the gender binary within the heterosexual matrix — and all your college-educated peers went through the same indoctrination program, wouldn’t you just assume that these beliefs were scientific truth? And this is the situation within the elite media establishment, which is effectively off-limits to anyone who suspects that there are natural differences between men and women.

This ideological echo-chamber effect is the result of deliberate discrimination against conservatives in academia and media. We have witnessed how the American higher education system has ceded control to those who act as Stalinist commissars in enforcing political conformity. In 2005, then-Harvard President Larry Summers suggested that “innate differences” between men and women might explain the relative scarcity of women among science and engineering faculty. Summers, a liberal economist who had served in the Clinton administration, merely offered “innate differences” as one possible explanation of this disparity, but this was enough to summon a firestorm of rage from campus feminists. Within a year, Summers was forced to resign, sacrificed to the Feminist Cult of Androgyny as a warning to anyone within academia who might ever dare to imply that men and women are different.

Totalitarian regimes do not tolerate dissent, and feminist hegemony in higher education has had the effect of disseminating this totalitarian attitude throughout those fields where college education is a prerequisite to employment, including tech companies like Google. Read more

Fat Feminists, Google Engineers and Why Didn’t Eric Bolling Listen to Me?

Posted on | August 7, 2017 | 3 Comments

Things have gotten busy on the feminism front lately, while I was busy elsewhere, so let’s do a bit of catch-up, starting with . . .

NEVER TALK TO A FEMINIST — how many times have I repeated that here? And why didn’t somebody warn Eric Bolling? As soon as accusations that he texted . . . uh, images of male genitalia to female colleagues at Fox News became public, Bolling was the subject of a Facebook post by notorious feminist Professor Caroline Heldman:

My only surprise is that it took this long for people to come forward about Bolling’s behavior, which has been wildly inappropriate for years.
I did hundreds of appearances on Fox and Fox Business from 2008 – 2011, and had multiple experiences with Bolling that caused grave concern to my friends and family. Bolling referred to me as “Dr. McHottie” on air on four different occasions, and called me “smart, beautiful, and wrong” on air twice. . . .
Bolling would also contact me via phone and text after shows, sometimes to apologize for his behavior (and then do it again), and sometimes just to talk. He said he wanted to fly me out to New York for in-studio hits and to have “fun.” He asked me to have meals with him on several occasions, but I found excuses not to go. Once, he took me up to his office in New York, showed me his baseball jerseys, and in the brief time I was there, let me know that his office was his favorite place to have sex. . . .

Question: Why would Eric Bolling presume Caroline Heldman was heterosexual? From my reading of her work, Professor Heldman is one of those feminists who consider “heterosexuality” a synonym for rape. She was an outspoken leader among the faculty inciting “rape culture” paranoia at Occidental College. No one familiar with Professor Heldman’s career could possibly imagine that she likes men; she might sue you for libel if you accused her of being heterosexual. So why would Eric Bolling make a move on her? Talk about barking up the wrong tree! He’d have better luck trying to score with Rachel Maddow.

Caroline Heldman calmly explains why men are evil.

Like all feminists, Caroline Heldman views men as the enemy, to be destroyed by any means necessary. The only way a man can be safe from this destruction is to avoid feminists. The minute a feminist walks into the room, a smart man immediately leaves the room. Men should stay away from any place (e.g., Occidental College) where feminists are known to congregate, and be on alert when feminists begin to infiltrate and take over a previously safe location. Next thing you know . . .

At Google, we’re regularly told that implicit (unconscious) and explicit biases are holding women back in tech and leadership. . . .
We haven’t been able to measure any effect of our Unconscious Bias training and it has the potential for overcorrecting or backlash, especially if made mandatory.

That’s from an internal memo circulated by Google engineer James Damore who now is, of course, former Google engineer James Damore, having been fired for “perpetuating gender stereotypes.” If your company starts hiring feminists, they will institute policies like “Unconscious Bias training” and, if anyone complains about these policies, their complaints will be cited as proof of their sexism — classic Kafkatrapping.

Guys are being lynched left and right to appease the feminist mobs nowadays, and why? Because successful terrorism inspires fear: “Oh, don’t say anything to upset the feminists! They’ll sue us!”

Anyone who has read A.L. Rowse’s Appeasement understands why this cowardly folly won’t work. Feminism Is a Totalitarian Movement to Destroy Civilization as We Know It, and you cannot obtain peace by surrendering to the demands of totalitarians. Meanwhile . . .

Say hello to “body-positive” feminist Megan Jayne Crabbe:

Ranting against “a f–ked up patriarchal society” and “misogynistic morons” because some men make unwelcome comments about her, Ms. Crabbe displaces onto her critics the blame for her own deliberately provocative behavior. To constantly post pictures online of yourself in your underwear — the essence of Ms. Crabbe’s “activism” –is abnormal behavior, symptomatic of narcissism. Anyone who does this is obviously seeking attention, in the form of comments, “likes,” DMs, etc. It is entirely predictable that many reactions to this type of social-media exhibitionism will be negative. Merely by declaring herself a feminist, however, Ms. Crabbe cloaks her selfish attention-seeking in the mantle of activism, a disguise achieved by blabbering a lot of rhetoric about “misogyny,” “patriarchy,” “rape culture,” blah blah blah. . . .

I am in the process of slowly replacing my once-extensive collection of electronic music, which included (and soon will again) the soundtrack to the Michael Mann movie Thief, starring James Caan and this week’s appetizer, Tuesday Weld. This pic isn’t from the movie, but it does show off Ms. Weld’s physical talents.

The Transgender Victimhood Narrative Encounters Inevitable Difficulties

Posted on | August 5, 2017 | 2 Comments

Police led a handcuffed Zachary McClimans out of court after a hearing.

A few days before the election last November, police say, Zachary McClimans stole his grandfather’s pistol and went to the Wal-Mart in Hermitage, Pennsylvania, where he shot Jayson Hall four times.

The motive, according to police, was that McClimans (a/k/a “Claire Wolfever”) had recently revealed to his co-workers at Wal-Mart his intent to undergo gender reassignment, and didn’t like Hall’s reaction to this news. McClimans, 22, claimed to feel “threatened” by Hall, and had filed a complaint with Wal-Mart management, which was under investigation at the time of the November shooting. McClimans was charged with attempted murder and is awaiting trial.

In January 2017, two months after McClimans shot Hall, another transgender employee of the same Wal-Mart had an encounter with police. A domestic violence call came into 911 from a woman who said her daughter (who was transitioning from female to male) had held a knife to her throat. When police officers responded to the scene, Sean Marie Hake (a/k/a Sean Ryan) was wielding a razor box-cutter:

A police officer was justified in fatally shooting a man who had a utility knife and told officers he would kill them or they would have to kill him, a prosecutor said [Jan. 17].
“This was a life-and-death circumstance right from the very beginning,” Mercer County District Attorney Miles Karson Jr. said in announcing that the officer would not be charged in the Jan. 6 shooting of Sean Ryan Hake.
Hake’s mother, Cynthia Loya, had called 911 to report her 23-year-old son was out of control and had held a razor blade to her throat. By the time three Sharon police officers arrived, Hake’s mother had left and her son was sitting in a car with self-inflicted cuts to his wrist and throat, Karson said.
An officer called for an ambulance and tried to speak to Hake, but he got out of the car and started moving quickly toward the officer, Karson said. Hake, armed with a utility knife, didn’t comply and ignored the similar commands of two other officers who arrived seconds later, Karson said.
Instead, Hake moved quickly toward the first officer saying, “You are going to have to kill me or I am going to kill you,” Karson said.
That prompted the third officer to yell to get Hake’s attention, and Hake then moved toward that officer, who fired two shots, both of which hit Hake in the torso, the prosecutor said. When Hake continued toward the third officer he fired a shot that stopped Hake, Karson said. Hake died a short time later at hospital in Youngstown, Ohio.

Hake’s death was clearly a “suicide-by-cop” scenario. But what were the odds that two employees of the same Wal-Mart in western Pennsylvania would both be transgender, and both be involved in incidents of fatal violence? In McClimans’ case, the claim that Hall had harassed him/“her” made transgenderism a central issue of the story, but Hake was just an ordinary domestic violence case that escalated.

Mercer County, Pennsylvania, is not a major urban area. It’s across the border from Youngstown, Ohio, and the county’s largest town, Hermitage, has a population of less than 17,000. Yet twice in a two-month span, local law enforcement was forced to deal with “Trannies Gone Wild” situations. This relates to a fact cited by the feminist site 4th Wave Now, which points out, “gender dysphoria occurs with troubling frequency in concert with a range of other mental disturbances, including personality disorders, depression, anxiety, and autism.”

The preferred media narrative, of course, portrays transgender people as victims of oppression, but how often are other people actually the victims of crimes committed by transgender people? Given what we know about the dangerous prevalence of mental illness in the transgender population, isn’t a certain level of “transphobia” warranted? Zachary McClimans claimed to feel “threatened” by Jayson Hall, but who was it that got shot four times? And what about Sean Hake’s mother, who said her daughter/“son” had held a knife to her throat? The media ignore this angle, however, and focus on the social-justice victimhood narrative.

Tim Teeman of the Daily Beast is strictly following the victimhood narrative in asking, “Why Are So Many Transgender Women of Color Being Killed in America?” He leads with the case of Troy “TeeTee” Dangerfield, who was shot to death in the southside Atlanta suburb of College Park. If you know anything at all about the Atlanta area, murder in College Park isn’t usually a national headline kind of story. The population of College Park is about 80% black, and 75% of residents live in rental properties. The FBI has identified College Park as “statistically the region’s most unsafe community.” Getting murdered in College Park isn’t particularly difficult, and most of the crime victims there are “people of color,” so it’s unlikely “TeeTee” Dangerfield was killed because of his/“her” transgender status. However, the difference between a hate crime and, say, a drug deal gone bad doesn’t matter when liberal journalists are promoting a social-justice crusade narrative.

Do you suppose that this sudden media interest in transgender murders is a coincidence? Did all these journalists last week just happen to notice the death of “TeeTee” Dangerfield, decide to do some research and discover the total number of transgender homicides this year? Don’t be silly. This is part of an orchestrated publicity campaign, the motives and goals of which are political in nature. The San Diego Gay and Lesbian News article on Dangerfield’s murder includes this sentence: “The death comes just two days after a Midtown rally in support of transgender men and women following President Trump’s tweets proclaiming a ban on trans military servicemembers.” An article at Rolling Stone headlined “LGBTQ Suicide Hotline Calls from Transgender Youth Spike Under Trump” includes this sentence: “Transgender individuals have been the target of an alarming 16 homicides this year alone, with a transgender woman identified as Tee Tee Dangerfield most recently shot and killed in her car in College Park, Georgia, on Monday.” And in his Daily Beast article about Dangerfield’s death, Tim Teeman included some blame-Trump suggestions from LGBT activists:

The Trump administration’s various anti-transgender moves — most dramatically, the president’s hugely criticized tweets foreshadowing a ban on trans people serving in the military — have collectively “made it more dangerous for our community whether in rural or urban Georgia. We feel that people who are against us feel justified because this administration supports them,” said [Chanel] Haley [of Georgia Equality].
“The discrimination is pretty blatant. People are not trying to hide it as much as they were before. The Trump administration has given them a license to discriminate.” . . .
[Raffi Freedman-Gurspan of the National Center for Transgender Equality said] President Trump’s pronouncements had been alarming and led to “a heightened sense of vulnerability among trans people. We in the trans community are as diverse as any community: there are transgender Muslims, transgender military folks, transgender folks wanting access to reproductive services. We time and again see transgender lives dismissed as essentially disposable, especially for transgender black women out there who are very, very scared.”

So, the reader is expected to conclude, “TeeTee” Dangerfield and 15 other transgender murder victims are dead because President Trump “made it more dangerous” by giving haters a “license,” which is why “transgender black women . . . are very, very scared.” This is the narrative, you see, and the actual facts about these crimes don’t really matter.

As to those troublesome facts, let’s just say that it is extremely unlikely any Republicans were hanging around the neighborhood in College Park the night that “TeeTee” Dangerfield was killed. While police detectives say they’ve got no leads in the case, I think “GOP Death Squads” can be safely ruled out among potential suspects in this particular homicide.

Meanwhile, in Chicago, 385 people have been shot to death so far this year, and another 1,848 people have been wounded, and I’m not sure if any of the victims were transgender, but 80% of them were black.

When the media are trying to sell a politically convenient narrative — e.g., blaming Republicans for the deaths of “transgender women of color” — facts tend to get twisted around or simply ignored. If you start asking questions about who is perpetrating these crimes, and whether the cause-and-effect bears any resemblance to the social-justice narrative, liberals will accuse you of transphobia, and probably also racism.

The media reserve to themselves the authority to determine which patterns of crime are newsworthy. If you look at the odd coincidence of two transgender Wal-Mart employees in Pennsylvania both being involved in violent incidents, and suggest that this might signify something about the connection between transgenderism and mental illness, you’re obviously a bigot. But when the media imply that Donald Trump is to blame for the death of “TeeTee” Dangerfield in College Park, you’re not allowed to question this farfetched claim. Only professional journalists are authorized to make assessments about the causes of crime, and nobody’s offering to hire you at the Daily Beast, are they? No, because you’re a transphobic racist who voted for Donald Trump, and are therefore disqualified for employment as a professional journalist.
