I have a distant and near faded memory of a bit of popular culture nonsense, Art Linkletter, Kids Say the Darndest Things. I typed this before doing a Google check, and the result is: wow, I got it right! This was a radio show, later developed into a TV series hosted by Black American  Bill Cosby. Say that name is familiar, where have we recently hear that? Oh, that’s right, he is a famous rapist:

  https://www.vox.com/2018/4/26/17272470/bill-cosby-trial-verdict-guilty-sexual-assault-andrea-constand

     Anyway, professors also say the darnest things, because, they are basically  infants in tax payer child care centres known as universities, also evil institutions. Anyway, here is my choice of maddest uni. raves, and froth at the mouth:

     The latest Womens’March showed how profound and truly intellectual feminism is, and why men should prick up their ears and listen when feminists speak:

“Body parts, foul language, and hate speech took center stage at the third Women’s March in Washington, DC, on Saturday. Women and men clad in pussy hats carried signs cursing President Donald Trump and praising female genitalia and reproductive organs.”

     This article caught my eye; the typical gender agenda attack upon some sacred institution, this time breast-feeding. Saying that breast-feeding is natural, which it is, reinforces gender roles. That to me is a good thing, but for the progressives, it is “unethical,” according to their weird paradigm:
  http://www.iwf.org/news/2803518/Study:-Describing-Breastfeeding-as-%E2%80%98Natural%E2%80%99-Is-Unethical-Because-It-Reinforces-Gender-Roles?fbclid=IwAR0zdWCZM-iKVAlpDoyBhaHoUZ5jRuJDehV1C411Ed17Bl-hLtXCv7C8C2c

“It’s “ethically inappropriate” for government and medical organizations to describe breastfeeding as “natural” because the term enforces rigid notions about gender roles, claims a new study in Pediatrics. “Coupling nature with motherhood… can inadvertently support biologically deterministic arguments about the roles of men and women in the family (for example, that women should be the primary caretaker,” the study says. The study notes that in recent years, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the World Health Organization, and several state departments of health have all promoted breastfeeding over bottle-feeding, using the term “natural.” “Referencing the ‘natural’ in breastfeeding promotion… may inadvertently endorse a set of values about family life and gender roles, which would be ethically inappropriate,” the study says. Unless such public-service announcements “make transparent the ‘values and beliefs that underlie them,’” they should quit describing breastfeeding as “natural.”

     Ah! Now I have your attention, time for a little talk about the birds and the bees, or how extreme right-wingers (note the bird metaphor, i.e. “wings”), have better sex lives than feral drug-soaked Leftoids:
  https://www.iflscience.com/editors-blog/very-right-wing-europeans-are-the-most-satisfied-with-their-sex-lives/

“As reported by Buzzfeed, a YouGov survey asking five European countries about their sex lives found that those on the far-right of the political spectrum were the most satisfied with their bedroom antics. Generally speaking, those on the left and far-left were among the least satisfied. The survey of more than 19,000 people across the UK, France, Sweden, Germany, and Denmark was conducted for Sex, Lies and the Ballot Box, a new book due out this week. With no exceptions, those describing themselves as “very right wing” were far happier with their frisky frivolities than anyone else on the spectrum. Those considering themselves to be “centrist” were somewhat happier with their sex lives than those on the “right,” but anyone further left tended to be the least happy.

     You have to hand it to Ireland, it is firing on all politically correct cylinders, with the first waves of abortions soon, and now and extension of domestic violence laws to criminalise emotional abuse:
  https://edition.cnn.com/2019/01/02/health/ireland-coercive-control-domestic-abuse-intl/index.html

“Psychological and emotional abuse in intimate relationships is now a crime in Ireland. The Domestic Violence Act 2018 went into effect on Tuesday and provides new protections for victims of "coercive control," a type of emotional and psychological abuse aimed at stripping a person of their self-worth and agency. Although psychological and emotional abuse -- including controlling behavior, isolation, and threats of violence -- can be more difficult to recognize than physical violence, it can be just as damaging, experts say. Ireland's Minister of Justice and Equality Charlie Flanagan said in a statement Wednesday that the new law "recognizes that the effect of non-violent control in an intimate relationship can be as harmful to victims as physical abuse because it is an abuse of the unique trust associated with an intimate relationship."

         This seems strange, but is not really; in fact it is a pretty common occurrence nowadays:

     Now the corporates are showing their true colour, namely red, and openly engaging in the cultural wars. Where better to start then to attack men where it hurts, namely, the face:
  https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2019/01/14/pg-urges-men-to-lose-their-toxic-masculinity-in-gilette-razor-ad/

“Proctor & Gamble is urging men to shave their “toxic masculinity” in a new ad for Gillette razors. The ad shows men fighting, cooking barbecue, and verbally harassing women, interspersed with news reports about the #MeToo movement. A new ad from P&G razor brand Gillette encourages men to reexamine themselves and the way that they raise young boys. The ad, which is called “We Believe: The Best Men Can Be,” is essentially a two-minute broad generalization about the way that men act and think.”

     Hi, my return after a long absence due to a car crash I was in. Fully recovered now, apart from some severe head injuries, some brain damage/ moderate brain damage, and burns to about 110 percent of my body.  Otherwise doing fine. Thanks for all your cards and letters. Now, to business, or what remains of it.
  https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/12/11/church-england-offer-baptism-style-services-transgender-people/

“The Church of England has encouraged its clergy to create baptism-style ceremonies for transgender people to welcome them into the Anglican faith. New pastoral guidance, published on Tuesday, advises clergy to refer to transgender people by their new name, though it stops short of being a baptism. The guidance, which was approved by the House of Bishops on Monday night, also details how elements including water and oil can be incorporated into the service. It also advises that as part of a special service, they can be presented with gifts such as a Bible inscribed in their chosen name, or a certificate. The guidance notes: “For a trans person to be addressed liturgically by the minister for the first time by their chosen name may be a powerful moment in the service.”

     This is our world; parents send their children or young adults to school/university, and they come back home, now the opposite gender, sans genitals. Remember the days when it was only the lunch box which was lost at school?
  https://www.thecollegefix.com/mothers-in-shock-as-daughters-come-home-from-college-with-mustaches-breasts-removed/

“In fact, a recent column in The Wall Street Journal reports that “health plans at 86 colleges—including those of nearly every Ivy League school—cover not only cross-sex hormones but surgery as well.” The piece featured the phenomenon of “rapid onset gender dysphoria,” described as overwhelmingly afflicting girls who then receive the full support of the medical community. Many of these cases can be traced to colleges that are just as affirming. “I am writing to you on behalf of parents who have lost their kids at college to the transgender craze,” one mother, Katherine Cave, recently told The College Fix. “Many liberal colleges have significant percentages of students suddenly identifying as transgender. And as you may know, all it takes is a simple visit to an informed consent clinic where girls get testosterone injections to help them look like males.”

     The article is in French, but that did not stop this talented journalist, who with just an application of Google Translator, and my old dog-eared French-English dictionary, soon got to the bottom of things.
  https://www.vice.com/fr/article/3k9m35/ces-francais-qui-ont-choisi-la-sterilisation-volontaire-pour-sauver-le-monde

“I see having children as an egotistical choice.” Florence, 24, had her tubes tied in April 2018 so she would never become pregnant. And the reason, when the Intergovernmental Report on Climate Change was released on 8 October last year, the AFP, via Twitter, published an infographic making it clear that “having one child less” would reduce CO2 emissions. Contacted via the Facebook Groups « Stérilisation volontaire (Ligature, Essure, Vasectomie) » [Voluntary sterilisation (Tubes, Essure, Vasectomy] and « VHEMT Francophone (Movement for the voluntary extinction of humanity), the men and women I interviewed have chosen voluntary sterilisation to respond to the environmental emergency. Sylvain, 34, wants to have a vasectomy. For this small farmer, if the global population has gone from 1.6 billion inhabitants in 1900 to almost 8 billion today, it’s “only because Man found ways of massively exploiting fossil fuels.” But he is convinced: “These energies will run out and there will come a time when we can no longer extract them from the soil cheaply.”…

     The benefits of young women having families early, then returning to work for the capitalist and becoming a wage slave, like men, are considerable. A recent article by a middle aged mum, put the case:
  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-6585001/Why-no-woman-wait-40s-baby-mum-whos-just-one-44.html

“I soon discovered late motherhood often comes with a painful backstory. In my case what I’d taken for granted a few years earlier had become virtually impossible. That’s why my message to younger women is: Please don’t wait. Don’t go through what I did. There is never a perfect time. We mended our marriage, my career continued, I recovered from the loss of my father. It turned out anything was possible except having a baby. I was 39 when my husband and I began trying for a second child. Nothing happened. Six months and then a year passed. Still nothing. As any woman who is hoping to get pregnant will know, a year of trying is a long time. And the panic grew. Had I left it too late? And so, I found myself in one of Britain’s largest assisted conception units at Guy’s Hospital in London. Where Mother Nature could no longer deliver, modern science would step in, surely? Lots of women clearly had the same thought, as a third of the female patients at Guy’s ACU are over 40. But, though there have been increased IVF success rates, senior consultant gynaecologist Tarek El-Toukhy explained: ‘It’s non-age-related fertility issues that on the whole we’re getting better at treating. If ovaries and eggs are ageing, there’s much less we can do.’

     That is the question.
  https://www.foxnews.com/world/uk-opposition-leader-denies-calling-pm-may-a-stupid-woman

     The answer is: no. No, because she really is stupid, judged by numerous criteria. It is not to say that female politicians are in any way “stupid” because they obviously are not. It is simply a judgment about her, and would hold if she was a man. We can debate the numerous policy blunders that make her stupid, and perhaps the judgement is harsh, but maybe not. Yet, it is not sexist. It is a debate about facts, and gender is irrelevant. Perhaps it would be better to just call her “stupid” simpliciter, and get it over with.

     I am fascinated by China, especially how despite grasping Western science and technology, and even Western imports such as Marxist communism, the nation still aims to preserve its people, unlike the West, where its elites seek only to make the world into something out of The Walking Dead, after all profits have been extracted. For example:
  https://edition.cnn.com/2019/01/18/asia/china-mens-earrings-blurred-intl/index.html

“Chinese TV personality Jing Boran has something on his ear that authorities don't want you to see. In the latest episode of the popular Chinese reality TV show "I, Actor," the young star's face is digitally altered to blur out his earrings. Jing, who held lead roles in Chinese box office hits "Monster Hunt" and "Time Raiders," is not the only victim of the alleged "earring ban." Images circulating on Weibo, China's version of Twitter, show several other young male stars with blurred circles on their ears. It's unclear if Chinese regulators have issued a specific directive barring men from being shown wearing earrings, or whether TV stations are reacting to a shift in what is considered culturally appropriate. Last year, China's media regulator banned TV stations from featuring actors with tattoos. Depictions of "hip hop culture, sub-culture and immoral culture," were also banned according to Chinese state media. Grace Leung, a professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong's School of Journalism and Communications, said the decision to blur earrings is likely influenced by the government's desire to minimize Western impact in China's pop culture.

     The US Women’s March featured deranged, extremist feminism, with numerous signs saying all sorts of nonsense about female genitalia. You can see this sort of stuff here at this link:
  https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/01/19/photos-womens-march-protesters-call-for-trump-to-drop-dead-his-children-to-be-caged/

     I am not against Women’s Marches in general where there is a legitimate message. Thus, in Australia there was a different message to what we have seen in my home of America, more sensible, dealing with the serious issue of violence against women:

     Following on from my article advising young ladies to have their families while one is young, then consider work, comes a study showing that breastfeeding protects against depression:
  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-6609197/Breastfeeding-protect-mothers-against-depression-later-life.html

“Women who fed their babies naturally were almost two-thirds less likely to suffer from mental health problems. And the more children the greater was the effect, an international study found. The joint American and Korean study looked at mothers now in their 50s and older, who had gone through the menopause. The World Health Organisation recommends exclusively breastfeeding during the first six months of the baby’s life, but only a third of British mothers try it at all, and the figures are falling. Reduced government support, cuts in public health funding, and negative attitudes have been blamed for some of the worst breastfeeding rates in the world. Reduced government support, cuts in public health funding, and negative attitude have been blamed for some of the worst breastfeeding rates in the world. And the study supports mother who controversially breastfeed their children up to school age and beyond. Yesterday lead author Dr Sangshin Patk of Brown University, America, said: ‘Our study findings indicate that breastfeeding is beneficial, not only to infants’ short-term and long-term health, but also to maternal psychological health. ‘Expectant and new mothers could be informed about the long-term benefits of breastfeeding for their mental health. ‘Depression is not only itself a psychological dysfunction but also an important risk factor for various physical problems.’”

     Sweden continues to decay, with the latest revelations, or is it horror story, being that half of all women in their early 20s feel unsafe:
  https://www.jihadwatch.org/2019/01/sweden-half-of-women-in-early-20s-feel-unsafe-government-ramps-up-anti-hate-policing
  https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/01/16/nearly-half-of-swedish-women-early-20s-feel-insecure-crime/

“Statistics released by the Swedish criminal statistics agency Brå reveal that 42 percent of women aged 20 to 24 feel insecure in their everyday lives, fearful they could be victims of various crimes. The new statistics come as part of the agency’s National Security Survey (NTU) of 2018, which found that the women surveyed claimed to have changed their route or mode of transport due to fears of crime. Maria Söderström, an investigator at Brå, commented on the results, saying: “The fact that many people’s lives are limited by the fact that they have to change their travel routes and methods is a serious consequence of the insecurity and anxiety about crimes that young women say they experience.”

     This is an example of how far down the road to degeneracy we have come; it is cheaper to abort babies than have them born!
  https://www.lifenews.com/2019/01/16/california-says-more-babies-must-be-killed-in-abortions-because-giving-birth-costs-too-much/?fbclid=IwAR0MuMUmLmoGLuak5Epn5BsFv7AxJGQ2w_3WlirpbyhxR9ykpP5iamfC14M

“Earlier this week a California judge issued an order blocking President Trump’s new rules protecting Americans from having to pay for drugs and devices that may cause abortions. The ruling concerns the Obama mandate within Obamacare that forces Americans to pay for contraception, including drugs that can cause abortion that violate the consciences of a majority of Americans. In its arguments leading up to the judge’s decision, the state of California made a very disgusting argument as to why President Trump’s pro-life protections must be overturned and why residents of the Golden State and America must be forced to pay for abortion drugs. According to California and it’s attorney general, babies are just too darn expensive — so more babies either need to be killed in abortion or prevented from being born through contraception. California Attorney General Xavier Becerra argued in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California that a regulation issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services would prevent an insufficient number of California women from conceiving and giving birth to children.

     The traditional ideal of masculinity is under attack like never before, because, well, that is just the stage that gender agenda has reached, from false equality, to masculine genocide now. So, every defence of traditional masculinity must be celebrated, and one such defence made these salient points:
  https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-01-25/smith-feminism-disease-and-masculinity-cure

“Evidence suggests that we should reverse this claim entirely and say that masculinity is entirely natural, and feminism is unhealthy. Feminism is a disease, and masculinity is the cure. As mentioned above, unlike feminism, masculinity is NOT a social construct or an ideology, it is an inherent biological reality. What feminists often present as “unhealthy” behaviors in masculinity are simply fabricated or exaggerated, and I am speaking from a Western perspective specifically. While men are designed to be more sexually aggressive, there is no “rape culture” in western society. Nowhere in the western world is rape advocated as acceptable. Nowhere is it protected by law. The #MeToo movement is yet another propaganda initiative which is meant to take criminal actions of a select few men and apply them to ALL men and masculinity in general. The lie of rape culture is promoted through false and rigged statistics. The fact that a large portion of reported sexual abuse is perpetrated by women is also ignored.  Clearly, rape is not the exclusive domain of masculinity.

     Non-Christian types, now the majority, who like to have extra-marital sex, have big problems today, due to the feminist rape culture, #MeTooism, you name it. One response of the plebs is getting a recorded account of consent:

     What do my brother and sister lawyers think of this one?

     I had been awaiting this one, and now it is here. People wanting to marry objects such as old shoes, doggy doo and wheelie bin refuse:
  https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/11/27/objectum-sexual-woman-gets-a-tattoo-of-her-fiance-a-chandelier/

“A British woman who identifies as “objectum sexual,” or attracted to inanimate objects, recently got a tattoo of her future spouse — a chandelier named “Lumiere.” Breitbart News reported last year about a British woman who was engaged to a chandelier. Now, the Mirror reports that Amanda Liberty of Leeds, England, has a tattoo of her spouse-to-be, a chandelier she calls “Lumiere.” “I couldn’t stop thinking about her and how beautiful she was — she has such a beautiful shape, and I could feel really amazing energy coming from her,” Liberty said last year. “Although I knew it would be tricky to get her home, I knew I needed to find a way to make her mine.”
