The enlightened Social Justice Warrior unFemale laments unher own existence
In addition to women’s superiority in judgment, their trustworthiness, reliability, fairness, working and playing well with others, relative freedom from distracting sexual impulses, and lower levels of prejudice, bigotry, and violence, they live longer, have lower mortality at all ages, are more resistant to most categories of disease, and are much less likely to suffer brain disorders that lead to disruptive and even destructive behavior. And, of course, they can produce new life from their own bodies, to which men add only the tiniest biological contribution — and one that soon could be done without. […]
Contrary to all received wisdom, women are more logical and less emotional than men. Women do cry more easily, and that, too, is partly biological. But life on this planet isn’t threatened by women’s tears; nor does that brimming salty fluid cause poverty, drain public coffers, ruin reputations, impose forced intimacies, slay children, torture helpless people, or reduce cities to rubble. These disasters are literally man-made. They result from men’s emotions, which are a constant distraction to them.
I’ve been told that I’m too hard on men — that I should recognize that most men are not guilty of violence, rape, promiscuity, or warmongering. Of course they’re not. But the minority that is guilty of those things is dangerously large — many times larger than it is in women — and that minority has put a strong stamp on human history. In fact, you might say it is largely responsible for history. This is part of what Simone de Beauvoir meant when she said, in The Second Sex, “The problem of woman has always been a problem of men.” […]
There is a birth defect that is surprisingly common, affecting a key pair of chromosomes. In the normal condition the two look the same, but in this disorder one is shrunken beyond recognition. The result is shortened life span, higher mortality at all ages, an inability to reproduce, premature hair loss, and brain defects variously resulting in attention deficit, hyperactivity, conduct disorder, hypersexuality, and an enormous excess of both outward and self-directed aggression. The main mechanism is androgen poisoning. I call it the X-chromosome deficiency syndrome, and a stunning 49 percent of the human species is affected.
It is also called maleness.
To call being male a syndrome is not an arbitrary judgment. It is based on evolution, physiology, development, and susceptibility to disease. Once, all of our ancestors could reproduce from their own bodies; we were all basically female. When biologists ask why sex evolved, they are not asking rhetorically — the fact that sex feels good was a nice addition. What they are asking is: Why did those self-sufficient females invent males?
via Glenn Reynolds, who adds “The eliminationist rhetoric just gets more and more open.”
Indeed.
Contrary to all received wisdom, women are more logical and less emotional than men.
Oh see, there’s the tell. It’s parody, scoring a 10 on the @GodfreyElfwick scale.
Perhaps an 11.
For non-standard definitions of “logical.”
But as we all know, standard definitions are tools of the patriarchy.
What is it about cheap vodka that makes it so bleeding oily?
And do you reckon that whatever it is, it seeped into Hillary Clinton through osmosis somehow or other?
**** The future history of women is an open book; the empty pages beckon with impatience and expectation, and women will fill those pages with splendid untold stories.

Who Will Stand?
by Robert P. George
4 . 5 . 15
The lynch mob came for the brilliant mild-mannered techie Brendan Eich.
The lynch mob came for the elderly florist Barronelle Stutzman.
The lynch mob came for Eastern Michigan University counseling student Julea Ward.
The lynch mob came for the African-American Fire Chief of once segregated Atlanta Kelvin Cochran.
The lynch mob came for the owners of a local pizza shop the O’Connor family.
The lynch mob is now giddy with success and drunk on the misery and pain of its victims. It is urged on by a compliant and even gleeful media. It is reinforced in its sense of righteousness and moral superiority by the “beautiful people” and the intellectual class. It has been joined by the big corporations who perceive their economic interests to be in joining up with the mandarins of cultural power. It owns one political party and has intimidated the leaders of the other into supine and humiliating obeisance.
And so, who if anyone will courageously stand up to the mob? Who will resist? Who will speak truth to its raw and frightening power? Who will refuse to be bullied into submission or intimidated into silence?
Followed the link. Read the article. Found a new working definition of bat-sh*t crazy.
That’s nice, honey…
Now go make me a fuckin’ sandwich.
Sounds like this one is 100% out of touch with the world. A hot house flower I believe the expression once was. So cloistered in her own papered existence, she is unable to comprehend anything outside the safe cacoon society, men and women, have built around her arrogant ass.
What a Maroon.
(the author of the article is named “Melvin”)
Oh. Well.
Does it really change what I said though? I get the feeling Melvin wouldn’t mind if I disregarded his penis…
The third sex:idiots.
ICYMI: Ace started Tweeting about secession and started a huge discussion.
A lot of it is on his TL and a branch of it is on mine. (Scroll to the top of that link.)
If any of us vanish suddenly, you’ll know we’ve been disappeared by the NSA for treason or whatnot.
newrouter, the comments to that link are horribly depressing, if you order by Oldest first.
So many don’t get it, or they do and don’t care.
brimming salty fluid?
Greetings:
So, would I be correct in assuming that part of the reason why those folks like President Obama so much is his MIA “Y” chromosome ???
Did we decide this was satire?
Women should be required to use only computers that are designed using feminine logic, since it is so superior. Hopefully no one will ever have to travel over a bridge designed using one of these computers.
Geez, dicentra. We analyzed and discussed secession here years ago. Where’s Ace been all that time?
