Women like this exist

Seriously. They exist. Many more than you think. And they sometimes club together. Realise this before you go jailing men who suffer from their behaviour.

Yes, I know NAWALT and that some men are batshit crazy too, but neither of those is the point of this post. Try not to get so easily confused.

Check your privilege

28 Days Later.

The plot (spoiler): An unbelievably fast acting virus is accidentally released turning virtually everyone in Britain into fearsome raging zombie automatons.

The primary concern of our hero survivor is to protect the innocence of the two girls he's with from the small band of uninfected but deeply disconsolate soldiers who rescued the threesome.

It doesn't matter how many others suffer or die as he pursues this quest. A pretty girl's tears trump absolutely everything else. Everything. The film never questions this.

Check your privilege.


Ladies first

Along with most of my demographic, I've lived under this sexism all my life.

The opposite of the way feminism wants to portray it.

The search for progress

An excellent paragraph from http://ofint2.blogspot.co.uk:

"...the egalitarian mania of the twentieth century, striving to find some sense of community with which to replace what went missing as the West abandoned Christianity, has impoverished psychology by its insistence on [the] denial of psychological realities and key human differences. As intellectuals have known since Adam Smith, advanced civilization requires division of labour. Thus we need basic human differences in drives and abilities. A proper search for ‘community’ must accept differences and use them — not deny them or, more generally, the role of biology in personality and society."

Not just 'a proper search for community', either, but 'a proper search for progress'.
