From Happy Hippies to Angry Dykes
Posted on | May 15, 2017 | Comments Off on From Happy Hippies to Angry Dykes
“Does anybody remember laughter?”
Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant asks that question in the live version of “Stairway to Heaven” in the documentary The Song Remains the Same. By 1973, when that concert was recorded, much of the youthful exuberance of the hippie counterculture was gone. The utopian dreams of peaceful harmony — “All You Need Is Love” in the “Age of Aquarius” — had been destroyed by drug overdoses, sexually transmitted diseases and other sordid bummers. Much of this disillusionment was inevitable. The teenager who dropped out of college and went to San Francisco for the 1967 Summer of Love (“be sure to wear flowers in your hair”) was by 1973 a young adult who had to find some way to pay the bills. No more allowance from Mommy and Daddy? Bummer, man. Having to work for a living wasn’t something they’d taken into account when they “tuned in, turned on and dropped out.”
Perhaps even worse than having to go to work, however, the hippies discovered that all that talk of “free love” was a cruel deception. By the early 1970s, human debris from the wreckage of the Sexual Revolution was visible to anyone who paid attention to the rising tide of divorce, abortion and other evils. Radical feminism — what its founders called the Women’s Liberation Movement — was in large measure a reaction against the predatory hedonism of the Sexual Revolution, as Sheila Jeffreys argued in her 1990 book Anticlimax. Nothing could be more false than to believe that the 1960s were totally groovy for all those chicks getting passed around from one hairy hippie dude to the next, like a doobie at a Grateful Dead concert. Alas, those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it, as we have recently seen:
Liberal feminist rhetoric about women’s sexual “empowerment” — mimicking a predatory stereotype of male sexuality — has been repeatedly demonstrated to be flawed in practice, as women who pursue “liberated” sex suffer emotional and physical harm. The so-called “pro-sex” feminism of the Third Wave has predictably produced a radical feminist backlash, with a revival of anti-male/anti-heterosexual ideas first articulated in the 1970s by lesbian separatists like Charlotte Bunch and Marilyn Frye.
What is best for women is lifelong monogamous pair-bonding, and every decent and thoughtful woman understands this. No wise mother would raise her son to be a selfish hedonist, racking up “scores” as a pickup artist, nor would any wise father wish his daughter to be a pawn in such a game.
Feminists, however, reject the marriage-based family that is (or at least, should be) the safe harbor protecting women from insult and injury. The feminist movement’s War Against Human Nature, manifested in a hostility toward the “patriarchal institution” of marriage, has produced the very evils which today’s young feminists protest. . . .

I’m not much for bars these days, what with the diabetes and all, but since I have a passing interest in country music, I’m occasionally tempted to check out Stoney’s, located off the Strip in a hifalutin’ shopping center that also features a Victoria’s Secret and a Whole PaycheckFoods, among other pricey joints. Aside from the obligatory mechanical bull, Stoney’s offers free dance lessons and reasonable drink prices, at least in comparison to clubs on the Strip. This week’s appetizer is one of the bartenders.

Demonic Feminist Rants at Movement’s Male Allies: ‘Know Your Place!’
Posted on | May 12, 2017 | 3 Comments
The First Rule of Feminism is SHUT UP!
Men have no right to speak about feminism. Men have no right to speak to a feminist. Men have no rights at all, according to feminists.
Last week, Heat Street writer Ian Miles Cheong tweeted this video of a demon-possessed woman ranting at a pro-abortion rally:
Do not assume that my description of this woman as “demon-possessed” is a joke. Maybe you’re an atheist, and do not believe demons exist. Believe what you want to believe, but I know evil when I see it.
This is the spirit of Satan. This is the face of totalitarian hatred. This is Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Mengistu and every other murderous dictator who ever claimed the right to kill in the name of “the people.”
This is the face of feminism, a satanic Death Cult.
When I saw this video, I immediately wondered who this woman was, where and when she was speaking. Her name is Amanda, and this speech was at an August 2014 rally in Dublin, Ireland. The inspiration for this rally was a case in which an 18-year-old immigrant was denied an abortion. The girl said she had been raped in her home country — “In my culture it is a great shame to be pregnant if not married” — and after arriving in Ireland, learned she was eight weeks pregnant. An Irish law passed in 2013 permits abortion under certain conditions, one of which is the risk of suicide, and when he pregnancy advanced, the girl became suicidal. She told reporters she was examined by several psychiatrists, but eventually was forced to deliver her baby by caesarean section at 25 weeks gestation, about three months premature.
“Hard cases make bad law,” and no matter what the law is — not just on abortion, but on anything — there will always be exceptional cases where some atrocity makes law enforcement seem inhumane. Anyone who has studied the history of Communism know very well how adept Marxist radicals were at exploiting atrocities for propaganda purposes, and what we have witnessed in the West in the post-Cold War era is a continuation of this Communist tactic by so-called “progressives,” including feminists.
Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it, and in the demoniac rage of Amanda’s rant at this pro-abortion rally, we behold an omen of the murderous evil that lurks behind the rhetoric of “women’s rights.” Feminism is a movement organized by mentally deranged women with sadistic tendencies. Feminists take pride in their cruelty, motivated by revenge fantasies, a hateful desire to humiliate men.
“Know your place!”
Amanda shouts this at men who are there to support the pro-abortion movement in Ireland. With the same kind of totalitarian logic that inspired the blood-soaked nightmares of 20th-century Communism, she insists that members of the oppressed class (women) possess an exclusive right to speak, whereas the oppressors (men) have no rights at all.
Identity politics must ultimately produce totalitarianism. The claim that oppression confers a special status upon members of the oppressed group, who are entitled to seek “social justice” by any means necessary has a blood-soaked pedigree as old as the French Revolution. Having once obtained power, the radicals do not mean to relinquish it, and so they must persecute their enemies (real or imagined), to make examples of them, in order to intimidate any rival who might depose them. Dissenters are denounced as “enemies of the people” — vrag naroda — and woe unto anyone who speaks in defense of the accused.
“Know your place! This is a women’s movement!”
Amanda said a lot of interesting things during her tirade. She was speaking on behalf of the Antiracist Network, and wow, does she hate Ireland. Referencing the case of a woman who died after a miscarriage in 2012, she said, “I’m really f–king sorry that you had to face the sh– that you did in this f–king country.” She also apologized to people “who have to die in our own house because the hospitals in this racist country give her disgusting disservice. I am sorry to the women who are still having to go through this sh– in this country because of a cowardly government.”
OK, so if Ireland is such a racist country with a cowardly government, why is Amanda even there? Couldn’t she go back to whatever country she came from? Judging from her comments, Amanda’s homeland must be a much better place to live than Ireland. But no, she’s there, and she’s angry:
“Any woman who is trying to speak about their experience — you know nothing of it, and you must support them! You must listen to them! You must never tell them of any Women’s Studies or international development course that you decided of your own free choice to participate in, because your debate is not my life! . . . Know your place! Because in the patriarchal world, you are guaranteed to always have a platform, so give the world’s sole platform women have to themselves!”
Well, ma’am, you can have your platform to yourself. And my guess is that you persuaded a lot of Irish men to stay as far away as possible from any platform where you’re speaking. Probably some of the men at that Dublin rally went home, had a couple of pints and said to themselves, “Hey, maybe the Pope was right about this abortion thing.”
Once you’ve seen Satan in the flesh, you know you need Jesus.

Typical Canadians, IYKWIMAITYD

They were among more than 100 suspects arrested in a Canadian sex crime investigation:
Police have arrested 104 men for attempting to have sex with children forced into prostitution, following a four-year undercover human trafficking investigation in which 85 underage victims were found and 49 pimps charged in York Region since 2012.
York Regional Police Det.-Sgt. Thai Truong said 104 men were arrested as first time offenders in the investigation from 2014 to April 2017 for negotiating “the purchase of a prostituted child between the ages of 13 and 16 years old.” . . .
Human trafficking investigators launched Project Raphael in 2014, which Truong said was a three-pronged approach to combating the issue in the region. . . .
Police targetted pimps, focused on rescuing victims and connecting them with community support workers and attempted to stop the demand for prostituted children.
“We essentially put up advertisements online when men were looking to purchase sex they were told that they were communicating with a child, with a prostituted child,” Truong told reporters during a press conference [April 21]. . . .
Of the 104 arrests, 32 of the suspects had pleaded guilty with sentences ranging from three to seven months.
“Almost all of these men are first time offenders … they had stable jobs, and families and not the type of people who usually see in the criminal justice system,” Susan Orlando, of the Attorney General’s human trafficking prosecution team, said.
The list of men arrested in this sex-trafficking investigation was posted online. I’ve chosen from the list the most typical Canadian names. Do the math and you find that these typical Canadians comprise 36% of the suspects arrested. Check the list yourself — Page One, Page Two, Page Three — and you’ll see I’ve omitted names like Richard Kwok, Steve Ko and Milton Sanchez-Guevera that didn’t seem quite Canadian enough.
Far be it from me to generalize on the basis of this limited sample. There are nearly 36 million people in Canada, and the fact that a few dozen typical Canadians were arrested on child-sex charges does not mean that all Canadians are pedophiles. It would be wrong — perhaps even racist — to allow a small number of criminals to tarnish the reputation of an entire country. Ontario is home to lots of excellent law-abiding people with typical Canadian names like Muhammad, Miguel, Ahmad, Sanjay, Quang and Ming, and it would be wrong to cast them all under the shadow of suspicion, merely because of these criminals. However . . .
Meghan Murphy is editor of Feminist Current, Canada’s leading feminist website, and notice how she employs generalization:
According to York Regional Police Det.-Sgt. Thai Truong, many of the men arrested were married, disrupting the oft-repeated lie that johns are simply lonely or “socially awkward” men who need company and affection.
Susan Orlando, of the Attorney General’s human trafficking prosecution team, reaffirmed this at a press conference on Friday, saying the men arrested “had stable jobs and families, and [were] not the type of people who [we] usually see in the criminal justice system.”
Truong added that the men came from “all walks of life” . . .
We know that it is very common for prostituted women to report having entered into the industry during adolescence, which tells us there is an enormous market for girls. It also tells us that there is no clear line between the prostituted women labelled “consenting adults” by advocates of legalization, and exploited underage girls in the industry. These exploited girls become exploited adults, in other words. . . .
To evidence how common it is for men to seek out prostituted girls, the police reported that in just three days of the investigation in 2017, officers arrested 19 men who believed that they were purchasing sex from either a 13-year-old or a 14-year-old.
Do you see how Meghan Murphy is playing a game here? Is it really “very common . . . for men to seek out prostituted girls”? No, of course not. The vast majority of men have never sought out a prostitute of any age, and would never do so. Most men abhor prostitution as a loathsome crime, and would oppose any measure to legalize prostitution, no matter what arguments are made by Canadian “advocates of legalization.”
Is there “an enormous market for girls” in Canada? Well, among those Canadian men who are in the habit of seeking out prostitutes, perhaps. But while Meghan Murphy is correct in suggesting that law-enforcement leniency toward prostitution tends to have the effect of increasing the number of teenage girls who will be lured or coerced into prostitution, she is wrong to suggest that Canadian men in general constitute an “enormous market” for teenage sex slaves. You see how feminism permits negative generalizations about men — demonizing half the human race — in ways that would be impermissible were such generalizations used to smear ethnic minorities. You can generalize about white men, but not about men named Miguel, Ming or Muhammad.
This is exactly what feminists do in the name of “intersectionality.” Because they are part of a left-wing political coalition seeking to unite every crank, kook and moocher with a grievance against Western civilization, feminists have gone to great lengths to argue that racism, sexism and homophobia are all part of an interlocking system of oppression — “capitalist imperialist white supremacist cisheteronormative patriarchy,” to quote the executive director of USC Women’s Student Assembly. One notices in feminist discourse how often the phrase “white heterosexual male” is employed as an all-purpose epithet. White guys are the cause of all evil in the world, according to feminists like Boston College Professor Janet Helms, who saw the sinister influence of White Heterosexual Male Privilege in last year’s presidential election. “The current cost of tuition, fees and room and board at Boston College is $65,644 for a single year,” as Eric Owens pointed out. Females are a majority (54%) of Boston College undergraduates, and only 62% of their students are white. “White Heterosexual Male Privilege” could only apply to 30% of Boston College’s enrollment, unless you add in those 33% of white female students enjoying the benefits of Daddy’s money.
Oh, but this is what feminism is really about, see? Rich college girls full of self-pity, claiming to be victims of sexist oppression. And because they don’t want to be suspected of racism, these rich white girls invented “intersectionality” so they could expiate their White Guilt by claiming that somehow being female atones for their sin in being white.
All of this is just Cultural Marxist nonsense, “critical theory” developed by a lot of overpaid professors based on the writings of a bunch of decadent European intellectuals like Foucault and Derrida. Thirty years into the takeover of academia by post-structuralism, there is now scarcely anyone on an American university campus who has the intelligence or courage necessary to denounce critical theory as a delusion, a paranoid persecution fantasy of the progressive Left. But I digress . . .
What if I seized upon this list of Ontario sex-trafficking suspects to claim that guys named Muhammad are particularly prone to pedophilia, and thus largely responsible for child prostitution? Of course, feminists would begin shrieking “Racism!” and “Islamophobia!” But why is it OK for Meghan Murphy to insinuate that Canadian males in general are such perverts that an “enormous market for girls” exists north of the border, where it is “common . . . for men to seek out prostituted girls”?
Oh, that’s acceptable, because when a feminist reads a headline that more than 100 men were arrested in a sex-trafficking investigation, she just assumes that these Canadian perverts were white, and every feminist knows that white men are the lowest form of life on the planet.
This kind of left-wing groupthink — collective victimhood and collective guilt — is antithetical to individual responsibility. It is hate propaganda to describe a category (e.g., “men in Toronto” or “men named Muhammad”) and to attribute to them a heinous behavior (e.g., “seeking child prostitutes”) as a way of implying collective guilt. For some reason, the Left objects when we call attention to Muslims who shout “Allahu akbar!” while killing Americans, but the Left expects us to ignore the way feminists collectively demonize white males.
By the way, who is advocating legalized prostitution? Meghan Murphy seems to spend a lot of time attacking such arguments, and I don’t know much about Canadian politics, but I’m pretty sure right-wingers aren’t the ones engaged in this advocacy. Prostitution is reportedly rampant in Vancouver, where thousands of hookers and call girls ply their trade with the tacit approval of the left-wing municipal government.
Who is responsible for all this prostitution in Canada? Not me.
See, this is how individual responsibility works. It doesn’t matter if your name is Muhammad or Miguel, you are responsible for what you do, and you can’t blame your problems on somebody else. You got caught trying to hook up with a teenage girl who turned out to be an undercover cop? Don’t tell me you’re a victim of systemic oppression, because there are guys named Muhammad and Miguel who didn’t do what you did. And if you are a member of an ethnic group with a bad reputation — for example, Canadians — don’t blame this on the “prejudice” of others. Try to be a decent law-abiding person, and most people will be willing to give you a chance in life, despite the fact that you’re Canadian.
There are at least two or three Canadians who aren’t half-bad, but in general, I stay as far away from Canadians as possible. I’ve never forgiven Canada for inflicting Neil Young on the world, and for the same cursed nation to unleash Meghan Murphy to terrorize humanity — well, you’ll be a long time living that one down, collectively speaking.
“They’re not even a real country anyway.”
