GAVIN EUGENE LONG: Cop-Killer in Baton Rouge Was Racist and Also, Crazy

Posted on | July 17, 2016 | 25 Comments

The maniac who killed three police in Baton Rouge and wounded three others was both racist and insane. Ranting against “crackers” on YouTube, talking about “revolution” and “my people” with the delusional grandiosity typical of a paranoid schizophrenic:

Long also said that bloodshed was the only way to win against oppression.
“One hundred percent of revolutions, of victims fighting their oppressors, from victims fighting their bullies, 100% have been successful through fighting back through bloodshed,” he said in one video. “Zero have been successful through simply protesting. It has never been successful and it never will.”
He also referred to himself as an alpha male, unafraid of taking that step.
“If y’all want to keep protesting, do that, but for the serious ones, the real ones, the alpha ones, we know what it’s going to take.”

Yeah, “victims fighting their oppressors” — dude from Kansas City drives to Baton Rouge and shoots six cops who never knew this doomed loser.

How do cops in Baton Rouge oppress someone in Kansas City?

Your TV is making you crazy! Sitting around watching CNN all day, brooding about how you’re a victim of oppression?

That’s crazy, and it’s dangerous. Go watch this YouTube video in which Gavin Long relates “principles for my people.” It was recorded five days ago, and the dude’s just rambling incoherently. Lunatics rambling incoherently on the Internet — well, there’s a lot of that going around lately, but some crazy people are clearly more dangerous than others.

Queer Feminist @Girly_Juice Explains Why You Should Avoid Queer Feminists

Posted on | July 16, 2016 | 104 Comments

Kate Sloan (@Girly_Juice) is an example of what I mean when I say every feminist’s ideal boyfriend is a Hitachi Magic Wand. She describes herself as a “Cis queer kinky poly femme feminist.” Also, she’s Canadian, which is another good reason to avoid Canada, as if you needed any more.

Feminism is an anti-male hate movement. Everyone understands this, except for those pathetic masochists who call themselves “male feminists.” No feminist ever dated a man except to obtain the sadistic revenge of humiliating the men she dates. The only way a feminist ever looks at a male is down. To be male is to be inferior, according to feminist theory, and so in her every interaction with a male, the feminist is merely giving him the opportunity to prove his inferiority. Like every other feminist, Kate Sloan habitually mocks and demeans males, which was the point of her recent column with this headline:

The Dangers Of Dating Faux-Feminist Men

What is a “faux-feminist” man? Basically any heterosexual man who thinks of himself as a feminist. If you are male, Kate Sloan hates you, and in feminist discourse, heterosexuality is a synonym for oppression.

In her column, Kate Sloan begins by describing her vindictive humiliation of “a passably nice boy I’d met on Tinder.” She uses the pseudonym “Liam” for this boy, and describes him as “smart, funny, creative, interesting, and a terrific cuddler.” This is obviously false, because (a) there are no “nice boys” on Tinder, and (b) any man who would date Kate Sloan can’t be very smart. No man with an IQ above room temperature would ever speak to a queer feminist, especially not a Canadian queer feminist. Do I even have to explain this? Or would it be sufficient to point out that Kate Sloan’s web site has page after page of dildo reviews?

Look, pal, if you want to date a vibrator connoisseur like Kate Sloan, don’t let me stop you. However, even in 2016 there are still plenty of women who actually like normal sex with human males, and maybe you should consider trying to find one of those instead. Also, queer feminist Kate Sloan helpfully includes a naked picture of herself on her “About” page, if you need any further incentive to avoid her completely.

Why would a “nice boy” want to interrupt Kate Sloan’s solitary pursuit of battery-operated fun? Oh, I almost forgot — you’re a “male feminist.” Or at least you thought you were until you dated Kate Sloan, and then she deliberately started a pointless argument about movies:

I wanted, so badly, to give him the benefit of the doubt. I wanted him to cede that Hollywood’s misogyny is a bad thing, or even a real thing. But he didn’t acknowledge any of that. . . . He kept walking and holding my hand, like nothing had changed.
Struggling to keep my voice even, I told him, “If you don’t see gender injustice in the world, it’s because you’re a straight, white, able-bodied cis dude, and you’re blinded to those things by your privilege.”
“Oh, here we go,” he snapped, his veneer of cool condescension bending at last. “Men aren’t more privileged than women. Different people have different levels of privilege depending on what’s going on in their lives. For example, in divorce courts –”
That’s when I let go of his hand. Actually, it would be more accurate to say that I threw his hand away from me like it was a rotting rat corpse I’d found behind the couch. “Nope,” I barked. “I can’t have this conversation with you. I’m going to get too mad at you and we are going to break up if we have this conversation.”
That night, I went home and texted my four closest friends: three ardently feminist women and one dude who I considered a pretty solid ally. “Do I have to break up with him?” I implored after explaining the situation. All three women immediately blew up my phone with all-caps yeses. . . .
I’d assumed he was a feminist because, in my mind, any good and decent man would be. My experiences up til then had mostly confirmed this. But in Liam’s case, being a good and decent man wasn’t enough, if he didn’t also believe in the systemic struggles women face. . . .

You can read the rest of that, but ask yourself this: Why would any “good and decent man” date Kate Sloan, who is neither good nor decent? Perhaps a Venn diagram would be helpful in understanding this.

You see that these are non-intersecting sets. However “passably nice” this guy she met on Tinder may have been, he wasn’t good or decent, or else he would not have dated a Canadian queer feminist like Kate Sloan.

Her experiences led her to an existential crisis:

What does it mean for a man to be truly feminist? Is that even possible, or is a man only ever, at best, a feminist ally and a recovering misogynist? . . .
For feminist women, dating men can feel like a lose-lose proposition. Either you settle for someone who invalidates your politics and therefore your personhood, or you gamble on a man who claims to support your cause but may or may not actually give a s–t.

Heterosexual feminism is impossible. It’s a “lose-lose proposition,” because feminists hate men with such white-hot intensity that no man could ever hate himself enough to qualify as a “male feminist.” Why even talk to Kate Sloan? A feminist never wants to hear a word any man has to say, because men are always wrong about everything.

No intelligent man would waste time talking to Kate Sloan. Just let her stay home alone with her collection of dildos and vibrators. But maybe you’re not an intelligent man. Maybe you’re so stupid that even if I told you not to click here to see a photo of Kate Sloan with her, uh, equipment, you’d click it anyway, despite my warning that you can never un-see it.

National Conference on Campus Rape and Due Process, August 1 in Charlotte, N.C.

Posted on | July 15, 2016 | 11 Comments

Along with Ashe Schow, Wendy McElroy, attorney Eric Rosenberg and others, I have been invited to speak at this upcoming event:

The National Coalition For Men Carolinas, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, non-partisan human rights advocacy organization, is pleased to announce the “Forum on Campus Sexual Assault, Consent and Due Process” to be held August 1, 2016 at Central Piedmont Community College Central Campus in Charlotte, NC. The Forum will consist of prominent experts who will share insight into how universities are handling the complex and often confusing issues of Title IX related sexual misconduct cases, consent and due process.
With mounting political pressure applied by the federal government to get tough on campus sexual assault and fearful of losing federal funding, universities are removing male students from campus in record numbers with the highest risk associated with male students of color, fraternity members and male athletes.
Buoyed by the Administration’s dramatic expansion of the scope of Title IX and the issuance of the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) Dear Colleague letters on harassment (issued October 23, 2010) and sexual violence (issued April 4, 2011), allegations of sexual misconduct are becoming commonplace on college campuses resulting in what many describe as kangaroo court processes that presume guilt and deny adequate due process for accused students.
This forum is designed to take a critical look into the impact that the Dear Colleague letters are having on college campuses, students and the problematic issues surrounding the handling of sexual misconduct allegations by institutions of higher education.

You can learn more by clicking here, and I hope all my friends in North Carolina will attend this important event.

COUP IN TURKEY: MILITARY CLAIMS TAKEOVER OF GOVERNMENT

Posted on | July 15, 2016 | 20 Comments

Headlines via Memeorandum:

Turkish Coup Effort Under Way
as Government Vows to Retain Power
— Bloomberg

Turkey Coup Attempt: Military
Says It Has Taken Over Government
— Haaretz

Turkey coup attempt: military
claims government takeover
— Guardian

What does this mean? Perhaps after last month’s deadly terrorist attack at the Istanbul airport, the Turkish military decided that President Erdogan’s government was not doing enough to counter the radical Islamic threat of ISIS, which has been looming in Syria and Iraq for five years. Erdogan himself has blamed the so-called “Gulenist” movement, but that may just be propaganda.

Right now, however, the situation is confused. Turkey is a NATO ally, and the United States therefore has a deep interest in stability in Ankara.

UPDATE: Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch:

Since the advent of Kemalist secularism in the 1920s, the military has been its guardian. If the military now is trying to forestall Erdogan’s neo-Ottoman plans to restore Islamic rule in Turkey, then this coup could be an extremely positive development. If it succeeds, that is. And yes, that is two big if’s.

In other words, the Turkish military is a modernizing force — trade, peace, and secular law — whereas Erdogan was allying himself with Islamic fundamentalism. So the coup is probably a good thing.

Allahpundit has lots of background at Hot Air.

TERROR IN FRANCE – Sixty Dead In Bastille Day Truck Attack

Posted on | July 14, 2016 | 48 Comments

Per the UK’s Daily Express, at least 76 people are dead after a terrorist rammed his box truck into a crowd out celebrating Bastille Day in Nice, France. Police apparently found guns, grenades, and other explosives in the truck, which was abandoned by the terrorist; he fled to a nearby restaurant where he was shot by police.

Ace’s LauraW has a link to Fox and the NYDN; Ed Driscoll at Instapundit has more links, including one to Legal Insurrection with live updates. Oh, yes – ISIS has claimed responsibility, and no doubt POTUS will be lecturing us that we can’t jump to conclusions about the [OMITTED] causes for this act of [OMITTED] terror.

Stacy will no doubt be updating this post as events develop.
