The Transgender Movement Ending Patriarchy?


Who came up with this? The 20-somethings. My son said this is what he and his friends are trying to do. The folly of youth. Good grief.

The GenX’ers have expressed that they are using the transgender movement to end patriarchy. Ok. 🤔That’s not gonna work. The way to end patriarchy is for biological women and men of all ages to treat each other as full human beings and love one another, not objectify and use each other for sex and money. Friendship must come first not hook ups.

It has been communicated to me via a follower on X.com that the idea is, if you eliminate biological women you eliminate patriarchy. Say what? No. Why do you think that will work? It’s misogynistic femicide. Of course we’re used to that on Earth. The end of women as a species would be the fulfillment of patriarchal fantasy and make it bigger until it blows itself up. Pun intended. All that will be left is men, who are the namesake of patriarchy. Maybe they would rather be matriarchy. The two are almost identical as the idea is to lord your power over another and be abusive. It’s the opposite of eliminating it.

It took mindsets and actions of both women and men to create the system of patriarchy. Fake gender surgery and wishing you were the opposite sex isn’t going to fix it. MINDSET and BEHAVIOR PIVOT is.

Men becoming women and ending the existence of naturally born biological women and men so they can replace us will end the human race, not patriarchy.

I think men just realize that women are the greatest species and are jealous of our beauty, power and ability to make a baby automatically. We sort of need your help to do all of that, so…if we love a man, we adore him as much as our children, if you’re kind and hot.

If you guys don’t get it, women probably need their own planet or you guys can all go with Elon to Mars, the women can keep earth, and it can be an all guy planet doing your fantasy AI thing with fake robot females. Don’t forget your stilettos, cross dressing tools, and exo-wombs. We can just ship our eggs to Mars and you can ship your semen to earth and we can be done with this.

I’m not in support of the prospect of no men on the planet but it would definitely be much quieter and safer. 🫤Dang Mars would be filthy.

Female leadership attributed to fewer COVID-19 deaths


by University of Queensland

https://medicalxpress.com/news/2022-06-female-leadership-attributed-covid-deaths.html

Countries with female leaders recorded 40% fewer COVID-19 deaths than nations governed by men, according to University of Queensland research.

Associate Professor Kelvin Tan from UQ’s Business School says the statistic is a key finding of a study into the impacts different country characteristics, such as leadership, have had on COVID-19 infection and death rates.

“Countries where women were at the head of government outperformed countries with male leadership, with an average of 39.9% fewer confirmed COVID-19 deaths,” Dr. Tan said.

“This figure can be attributed to female leaders taking quick and decisive action, a broader view of the wider impact on society, and being more receptive to innovative thinking.

“We found female leaders tend to act promptly and decisively and are more risk-averse towards the loss of human life, which play an essential role in pandemic prevention and outcomes,” he said.

The study analyzed the pandemic response of 91 nations between January and December 2020 and determined that certain country characteristics shaped COVID-19 outcomes.

Dr. Tan said many countries adopted similar approaches to contain the spread of COVID-19, but there were drastic differences in morbidity and mortality, even among those with similar socio-economic conditions and political backgrounds like Australia and New Zealand.

“As of 31 December 2020, although the population of Australia was only five times that of NZ, Australia had reported around 13 times more infections and 36 times the number of deaths than the numbers reported by New Zealand,” he said.

The study found gender ratio, population density, urbanization and political corruption all intensified the severity of a country’s pandemic experience.

Conversely, female leadership, education, religious diversity, and public trust in government were found to reduce rates of infection and death.

“We’ve identified a set of predetermined, country-specific characteristics that have significantly influenced the outcomes of the pandemic and we hope policymakers use them to manage risk during future health emergencies,” Dr. Tan said.

“Our findings highlight the importance of prevention, rather than treatment, in reducing COVID-19 morbidity and mortality.”

The research is published in Scientific Reports.

Essay; Camille Paglia-Some Great Reading for the Weekend (Freebie)


Camille-Paglia

Click here for the full interview for your reading pleasure this weekend.

Camille Paglia-EXCELLENT!

Paglia is an essayist, author, and professor of humanities at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, where she has taught since 1984. She completed her Ph.D. at Yale under the supervision of Harold Bloom, author of The Western Canon. Her first book, Sexual Personae: Art and Decadence, from Nefertiti to Emily Dickinson, was listed by David Bowie as one of “100 books we should all read.” 

Her other books include Break, Blow, Burn, a close-reading of 43 classic poems, and Glittering Images: A Journey Through Art from Egypt to Star Wars. In recent years, her essays have been collected and published in new editions, including Free Women, Free Men: Sex, Gender, and Feminism (February 2018) and Provocations: Collected Essays on Art, Feminism, Politics, Sex, and Education, which was released by Pantheon in October 2018.

“I thought Derrida and DeMan and the rest of that crew were arrant nonsense from the start, a pedantic diversion from direct engagement with art. About the obsequious Yale welcome given to the prattlings of one continental “star” visitor, I acidly remarked to a fellow grad student sitting next to me, “They’re like high priests murmuring to each other.”

Love it.

“Nevertheless, the poisons of post-structuralism have now spread throughout academe and have done enormous damage to basic scholarly standards and disastrously undermined belief even in the possibility of knowledge. I suspect history will not be kind to the leading professors who appear to have put loyalty to friends and colleagues above defending scholarly values during a chaotic era of overt vandalism that has deprived several generations of students of a profound education in the humanities. The steady decline in humanities majors is an unmistakable signal that this once noble field has become a wasteland.”

Anything focused on real intelligence, literacy, and human beings have been thrown to the wayside.  Mediocrity or below rules the day.

“The headlong rush to judgment by so many well-educated, middle-class women in the #MeToo movement has been startling and dismaying. Their elevation of emotion and group solidarity over fact and logic has resurrected damaging stereotypes of women’s irrationality that were once used to deny us the vote. I found the blanket credulity given to women accusers during the recent U.S. Senate confirmation hearings for Brett Kavanaugh positively unnerving: it was the first time since college that I truly understood the sexist design of Aeschylus’s Oresteia, whose mob of vengeful Furies is superseded by formal courts of law, where evidence is weighed.”

WOW!!

“What I see spreading among professional middle-class women is a bitter resentment toward men that is in many cases unjust and misplaced. With divorce so easy since the sexual revolution, women find themselves competing with younger women in new and cruel ways. Agrarian women gained power as they aged: young women were brainless pawns whose marriages, pregnancies, childcare, cooking, and other chores were acerbically supervised and controlled by the dictatorial crones (forces of nature whom I fondly remember from childhood).

In short, #MeToo from a historical perspective is a cri de coeur from women who are realizing that the sexual revolution that many of us had once ecstatically embraced has in key ways devalued women, confused their private relationships, and complicated their smooth functioning in the workplace. It’s time for a new map of the gender world.”

She’s speakin’ it. On many points, I agree with her. Crack a book, folks; female and male.
