Fairness is a Disease

Great article from Mens News Daily

http://mensnewsdaily.com/2010/03/28/fairness-is-a-disease/

An excerpt I like:

"Imagine two people walking down a street. A white guy with a shirt that says, “White Power" and a black man that has shirt that says “Black Power". For the last half century, we’ve been told (trained, in some cases) to look at the white man’s shirt and deride him for his ethnic hatred. Yet, when we turn to the black man, we are told (trained) to congratulate him on his progressive ethnic pride in his culture (“black culture", another broad, monolithic idea). How is THAT not racism? Hate whites for being proud of their race while encouraging blacks to be proud of theirs? That isn't equality, that’s overcompensation. That’s anti-intellectualism. That’s anti-American. Period."

I feel the same way about Straight/Homosexual

When a homosexual wears a Gay Pride shirt thats empowering and positive. When I want to wear the Straight Pride shirt I had printed my friends say it would be antaganistic and cruel.

Why is that?

I liked an answer I received to my question:

The "pride" motif is a reaction to an earlier state of shame. Eg., gay people hold a right to special "pride" in order to publicly rebuke the notion that they should have a stigma over being gay. Likewise for ethnic pride.

Since "white/straight" is already considered normative, expression of such pride does not function to erase any particular historical shame or stigma. (At least that is the theory - tho in fact the shaming of white/straight men is pervasive.)

IMO expressions of identity-pride are a pep-pill for people who feel like outsiders and who want to change the definition of "normative" to fit their own racial/ethnic/social/sexual identity.

I don't think "special pride" movements are anything to aspire to.

Gender Rules of Today

1. Women want full independence but Women want male protection when things get rough or dangerous
2. Men and women can vote but The draft and compulsory military service are male only
3. Men are expected to work in jobs that they do not care for to support their families but Men are lazy for not doing half of the housework
4. When boys perform badly in school there is a “crisis in masculinity” but When girls perform badly they are being discriminated against
5. Women “get rid of jerks” but Men “cannot commit”
6. Male circumcision is a proud tradition but Female circumcision is abhorred, even the kinds that are milder than male circumcision
7. Commenting on a woman’s cleavage is sexual harassment but A woman who purposely flaunts her cleavage at work is not sexually harassing anyone
8. All good men pay for the date but All good men support gender neutral pay
9. Men’s financial power must be controlled but Women’s sexual power must be liberated
10. Fathers should take care of their children but children aren’t DNA tested to establish paternity
11. Men prey on women but Women exercise their sexual freedom
12. The overarching inconsistency: Men are responsible for their actions and failures — Women are victims of circumstances or societal structures

Stop the Monologues Project

CHICAGO, IL – Americans For Truth today launched its “Stop the Monologues Project,” to expose Eve Ensler’s radical feminist play, “The Vagina Monologues” (TVM) — which includes a chapter in which Ensler, a reported bisexual, asks a six-year-old girl several questions about the girl’s vagina.

A host of celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey and Faith Hill, are joining Ensler in celebrating the tenth anniversary of her play this weekend in New Orleans.

On pages 103-104 of the 10th-anniversary edition of The Vagina Monologues, in a chapter titled, “I Asked a Six-Year-Old Girl,” Ensler asks the following questions based on an interview with an unnamed girl (only the answer to the last question is provided below):

• If your vagina got dressed, what would it wear?”
• If it could speak, what would it say?”
• What does your vagina remind you of?”
• What’s special about your vagina?”
• What does your vagina smell like?”
• [answer:] “Snowflakes.”

Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth and father of five children, said it is astonishing that Ensler and her vulgar play are being celebrated given TVM’s past and current promotion of adult predatory behavior against minors:

“Imagine if an adult homosexual man were to quiz a six-year-old boy about his penis — or a straight man were to ask a little girl silly questions about her private parts – for use in a play! Would such men be praised by the media and famous personalities?”

Stop the Monologues Project Director Donna Miller, the mother of a teenage girl, said,

“I find it horrifying that an author would sexualize a six-year-old girl –– particularly when that same author has a record of writing favorably about adult/child sex, at least for lesbians.”

Miller noted the hypocrisy of a movement whose stated goal is to “stop the violence against women and girls,” while it celebrates a lesbian rape-seduction, underage drinking, and a bisexual adult asking highly inappropriate sexual questions to a six-year-old.

The Vagina Monologues book, on pages 80-82, tells of a lesbian rape-seduction in a story titled, “The Little Coochi Snorcher That Could.” In the monologue, a 24-year-old woman plies a 16-year-old girl with alcohol before seducing her (statutory rape in many states).

The original ‘Monologues’ play included the same segment except the victimized girl was just 13.

Threesome Marriage

See article

Excerpt:

First came traditional marriage. Then, gay marriage. Now, there's a movement combining both—simultaneously. Abby Ellin visits the next frontier of nuptials: the "triad."

Less than 18 months ago, Sasha Lessin and Janet Kira Lessin gathered before their friends near their home in Maui, and proclaimed their love for one another. Nothing unusual about that—Sasha, 68, and Janet, 55—were legally married in 2000. Rather, this public commitment ceremony was designed to also bind them to Shivaya, their new 60-something "husband." Says Sasha: “I want to walk down the street hand in hand in hand in hand and live together openly and proclaim our relationship. But also to have all those survivor and visitation rights and tax breaks and everything like that.”

Slutty Feminism

Unlike most of my female college classmates, I was never a fan of the show "Sex and the City." My roommates would rent the videos and buy cheap champagne and watch them.

I watched the show with them one night. After barely stomaching two episodes, I declared the show would be better titled "Sluts and the City," then went to bed.

I wish other students had followed my lead. Instead, they chose to usher in a new wave of feminism: Slut feminism, where the new test of gender equality is how openly promiscuous a woman can be without judgment or penalty. Wouldn't the suffragettes be proud to see how far we have come?

Across the nation, other female students were falling in love with the "slut feminism" Carrie Bradshaw and her sex-obsessed cronies in "Sex and the City" epitomized. Student newspapers started running sex columns, featuring college women publicizing their sexual exploits just as the Carrie character publicized hers. USA Today reported, "From 'Between the Sheets' at Tufts University near Boston to 'Sex at the Beach' at California State University in Long Beach... college students talk about, dispensing tips and offering advice on sex, dating, sex, love, sex, relationships, sex and sex."

After some research, I found the topics a little more limited. Mostly written by women, the recurring themes seem to be the female anatomy, female orgasms, masturbation and oral sex, which, thanks to Bill Clinton, isn't considered sex, according to most of these students.

From Cornell University's "Cornellingus," to Princeton's "Vulvagraphy" and Yale's "Sex and the Elm City," it seems the Ivy League isn't immune to this trend. The so-called "best and the brightest" are becoming the best and the brightest of the porn industry. How proud their parents will be when they start their careers writing for Playboy.

You can't even judge them. In their world of moral relativism, no one has the right to judge others. In Columbia University's sex column, "Sexplorations," Miriam Datskosky explains why the all-too-common "walk of shame" shouldn't be shameful at all. She argues that, men and women should be able to go out and have sex whenever and with whoever they like, and when walking home the next morning -- wearing the same clothes from the night before, their make-up smeared and their hair a mess -- they shouldn't be judged: "It is not up to a random stranger to make you feel ashamed." Moral relativism and the sexual revolution had a baby, and boy is it ugly.

She says: "Every single one of us has the right to choose. That right deserves respect." Respecting someone's right to choose to be promiscuous and respecting their actual choice to do so are two different things. I'm not advocating outlawing promiscuity, but I do support holding people morally responsible for their choices.

There's not much parents can do. Most student newspapers are independently run. And, any attempt to have these columns removed would certainly stir accusations of censorship by students so indoctrinated they don't understand obscenity is not protected by the Constitution.

Students, on the other hand, have some options. With the help of organizations like the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute, they can bring conservative women leaders, such as Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter or Phyllis Schlafly, to their schools to challenge this type of thinking.

For now, unfortunately, it seems women lead slut feminism, considering they are the only authors of these columns.

But this shouldn't come as a surprise when you have a play like "The Vagina Monologues" performed on almost 600 college campuses. The play's main message is that women are nothing more than their sexual anatomy. Many of their parents, having come of age in the 1960s, might be thrilled with what the seeds of their "sexual revolution" have finally developed.

Sexual freedom has turned into sexual obsession. Perversion and promiscuity are applauded, morality and chastity condemned. Female college students of the slut feminism camp are finally equal to the men. It's a shame, though, that they view equality as an equal number of notches on their belts.

University right to cancel Women Studies

Article here. Excerpt:

'Rather than home economics, in the minds of most people I know women's studies means militant, obnoxious feminism that is filled with man-hate and rubbish/rot academic courses preached to the closed ranks of a male-bashing all-female choir.

Unfortunately, what started as a good idea with noble aims was politicized by radical elements to become a female version of a good-old-boys club.
...
In short, women's studies programs in most U.S. and Canadian colleges and universities have become radicalized, exclusionary, impractical, and dangerously self-isolated. That is a recipe for demise. Women's studies does NOT allow us to evaluate the world through women's experience because it does not reflect the attitudes, beliefs and lives of a great majority of women in this world.'

He's Dead, She Walks - DV's Double Standard‏

Action alert here.

Excerpt:

'This past week in Canada a young man, Adam Cunningham, lost his life as a result of domestic violence apparently perpetrated by his wife. At the time of the initial incident she was charged with assault. Now that Adam is dead the Crown prosecutor declines to charge her further with manslaughter or homicide, and has told the family the assualt charges may be dropped as well, since the victim - who was also the only witness - has died.

Note in the obituary the comment that the wife will miss him. We can only imagine what that might mean.'
