A Skirmish in the Gender/Family Wars

  Her name is Rachel Gilman. I’m sure she’s a pleasant lady in person. Before we get into the nitty gritty, please take a closer look at the graphic in the lower right hand corner of the image above. This could be the most gruesome desecration of the American flag I’ve seen. It  demonstrates the scare tactic of the coat-hanger abortion to a fare-thee-well.  300 deaths a year may be a sad statistic, but it is not a civilizational catastrophe.  We stopped counting abortions many years ago. The numbers you see quoted are all guesstimates, riddled with acknowledged gaps smoothed over by minimizing assumptions to conceal the enormity of legalized deaths that occurred under Roe v. Wade. Numbers in our biggest cities are terrifying when considered by racial breakdown. In NYC, nearly half of all black pregnancies end in abortion. That’s eugenics-level population control. Why Planned Parenthood is so embarrassed about admitting the eugenic philosophy of their patron Saint, Ma...

An Appeal for a Wise Female Voice

Image
Back in the 1990s I came across an author who seemed to be in a fix comparable to mine. She’d written a huge, groundbreaking book (798 pages) that talked about big big things and the cultural powers-that-be found her inconvenient at best and dangerous at worst. Nobody really wanted to deal with what was in the book.  Sexual Personae by Camille Paglia .   I bought a copy and read it cover to cover. I found it fascinating, brilliant, and obviously revolutionary. She was exploring the relations between the sexes through a very deep dive into art throughout the ages. She introduced a word I’d never read or heard before, “chthonic,” which means ‘pertaining to the underworld.’ This, she believed, was the existential realm of women, the basis of an unending war between the sexes exemplified by the marriage of Hades and Proserpine. Her approach stood so starkly alone that I regarded it as being as much a work of art as a serious work of anthropology, although it was clearly both....

APPENDIX: Billie of Ockham

  Write your own caption. Consult this video for inspiration. This isn’t that hard a subject to break out separately and explain. What’s hard is to find ways that women who presume to speak for women (i.e., 20 to 21st Century feminists) formulate their arguments without resort to Occam’s Razor . What they’re feeling right now is the right answer, therefore the easiest one to accept unless you want to be branded a sexist. An emotional rant intended [fixing an Autocorrect goof] to intimidate rather than persuade an audience to a desired outcome is Occam all the way. Here’s a tweet that was published just this morning: An easy answer guaranteed to fix everything. Guess how many agree . It’s a lot easier to be provocative than it is to be persuasive. Not that Occam can’t be used to persuade. An outstanding example of this in a life-and-death courtroom circumstance that could have been cited in the main article was Johnnie Cochrane’s brilliant one-liner: Months of complicated technica...

The Blobfish Boomlet

  Click the graphic above to watch the Rumble video Why this post? The last 48 hours or so have defined the beginning of a new phase in the adventure of Trump 2.0. Phase 1 was fixing the border, addressing the hot wars in foreign climes, and launching a new trade strategy based on tariffs. Phase 2 was not a restart but a new layer, the beginning of calling the criminals of Trump 1.0 to account, ramping up the deportation campaign in Sanctuary locations, and fighting back against the locally based judicial insurrection against the 2024 election of Trump and his Americans First policies. Phase 3 is another new layer, the immediate aftermath of the death of the Democrat Party in last night’s election results.  I’m calling it the Blobfish Boomlet, because the outstanding feature of the Blobfish is that it is ugly and shapeless, flaccid inertness disguising itself with inflated media presence. Pundits insist we are looking at an ideological divide, a collision between two diametric...
