🎵 Social Justice Waaaaaaaaahrriors! 🎵

You scour the bowels of the internet, looking for something everyone else takes for the mundane and somehow make it offensive. Then you take the offensive and try to make it mundane...
🎵 Did you just assume our gender? 🎵

Some random dude sitting normally is a micro-aggression of the white male patriarchy, but ten-year-olds stripping in gay bars is beautiful progress.
🎵 Wax my lady balls, you bigot! 🎵

You take on this burden of knowledge not because you want to but because you need to, and also to prove your masters degree in Gender Studies wasn't a colossal waste.
🎵 Mom and Dad's money well spent!  🎵

So here's to you, #HashtagSJW, for attacking anyone who doesn't hold your fringe ideas. Because if there's one thing we all need, it's more violent self-righteous outrage.

American Men

American men! Along with blue jeans (I have three pairs of real workpants from Tractor Supply) and a messy house (don’t ask), they let you be yourself and get on with things. They’re also the kindest, most decent, most loving men there are. Some, at 15, were already fantasizing about marshaling breakfast for whining, barking, yowling households. Get them drunk enough — a tough job, as a rule — and they may confess this.

They pine for smart and bitchy women. Back when I was dating, my most fascinating remarks were quotations from Juvenal. My most alluring gesture was the bird. American men make loyal and tender friends. As teachers, they champion you, putting their own reputations on the line. As older mentors, they can be too indulgent, worrying that their professional standards are getting in the way of your fresh ideas. As employers, they’re not perfectly fair to women; they’re just fairer than anyone else in the world.

It’s fashionable to run men of this country down — and, yeah, some deserve it. But even northern Europe is hardly a manhood paradise by comparison. A German professor boasted to me of his open-mindedness: He let his wife have the car one day a week, so that she could do the shopping. Tyrannical in-laws; spoiled only children; porn, mistresses, and prostitutes as erotic competitors; ruthless diet and fashion industries; and a thousand rigid traditions around domesticity steal European women’s lives. European men are okay with this.

American men — with few exceptions — treat you like a human being, in a free, natural way, because they’ve done it from the nation’s youth. Alexis de Tocqueville wrote that a young American woman could make a long trip alone in perfect security — woe to anyone who touched her. That expectation endangered me in the developing world; men’s attitudes there forced me to fold in and withdraw. I was relieved to hilarity to settle in the U.S. again, where I could reclaim my whole self, public and private, for people I like and things that interest me.

During a snowstorm one year, two young men at a Pennsylvania bus station helped me cross the icy parking lot with my luggage and then stood near me under the awning, talking to each other about frontier history. I realized I didn’t have to worry how I seemed to them, young or old, attractive or unattractive, attached or unattached, well-off or poor. They had no notion of a right to either hunt me or drive me away, as a useful or useless feral creature. I shared their species.

Out at the road, a shuttle let out a blind passenger. He began to shuffle across the lot; we stared. Then a middle-aged man next to us set off wordlessly to help. The two younger ones were crushed: They hadn’t displayed an instant, full sense of their duty. “I feel like a tool bag,” one muttered. No, my friend, you’re not a tool bag. You’re one of the greats.

I worked for about 3 months on a drilling rig in the fall & winter of 1978; we were tripping back in the hole following a bit trip. The driller activated the breakout cathead which operated a set of tongs which we had chained to the Derrick leg, because we’re locking the rotary table & tightening the connections using the lead tongs; When the driller activated the chained up backup tong lever, the tong swung free & hit me behind the left shoulder, snapping my collarbone in two, & something cut my chin, which required 3 stitches to close. After I was released to return to work, I found something less painful to do to make a living!😳🤨

It was only a matter of time.   And in full disclosure, I never saw this coming.  In the 70’s I was already predicting the demise of the Stars and Bars.   And you know many said, no way.   Didn’t take a Nostradamus to call that one.  But the Stars and Stripes?   That’s indicative of how far the hate & Insanity have gone.  

Imo, the reason is, people in this country have had it to good, to long.   I’m no Dr. of Psychology, but this is my best guess.  Instead of reveling in the good people have, about 50% of folks begin to think, ‘this can’t be all the good, there must be more - so let’s change’.  It’s that or, they begin to subconsciously despise the good.  In my earlier days of employment, the company I was working for would often hand out prizes for safety or production achievements.   Nothing gigantic, but still nice, like windbreakers.  Guess what - a bunch of guys started complaining because that’s all it was.  What?  You bunch of whiny babies, they don’t have to give you nothing.  Again, I’m no Mensa member, but as a whole, human beings are pretty fubar.

I'm fairly sure there's another thread on this, but I'll say it again.  Betsy Ross was a Quaker and an abolitionist.  Where anyone ties this into white supremacy or anything of the sort is a loon, and that includes both sides.  I already think white supremacists are a bunch of loons anyway, and well they're similar to the left with their mental ineptitude.

TULSA, Oklahoma - It is now legal for women to go topless in public in Oklahoma and five other states.

 

Tulsa Police met this week with city attorneys to talk about how this new ruling impacts our area.

 

People can also take a picture of topless women and post it. If it's a teenager, they can still be in public with bare breasts, but taking a picture of them is still considered child pornography.

 

The ruling made in the Colorado case affects Oklahoma, Wyoming, Kansas, New Mexico and Utah.

 

This means women can walk down the street, gather at a public park, or perhaps even go topless at a public swimming pool.

 

Sgt. Jillian Phippen worries this could open the possibility of additional sexual assaults, that seeing a woman’s breasts, could be a trigger for some offenders.

The Propaganda of Banned Books Week: What’s Really Behind a Society Celebrating Books that Aren’t Actually Banned

We'll end in a story from the United States of America. USA Today's Mary Cadden reports with the headline, "Challenged or Banned: Titles Aren't Just in the Past." Yes, you probably felt this coming. It's Banned Book Weeks again in the United States of America, but what are the points I want to make is that this is largely propaganda. There is no banning of books in the United States of America, and actually, the story makes that clear. As USA Today reports, "When you think about banned books, you may think of the past. Novels written many years ago come to mind like Catcher in the Rye, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and Tropic of Cancer, but book banning and censorship is still very much alive and well."

Book banning in the United States? Well, let's just think about going back in time to when the Roman Catholic Church and its congregation for the defense of the faith had what was called The Index. It was a list of forbidden books. It was a crime to hold those books. It could sometimes be a capital crime. But when you're talking about banned books now, you're not really talking about government banning books. You're not talking about any religious authority having the right to ban books. You're talking about mostly parents challenging books that are directed to their children in the schools, in the libraries of the schools, and in the public libraries.

Let's just note, removing those books or not having those books in the catalog would not be banning those books. Those books would still be, let's just note, just one click away, but the reality is that this serves a propaganda purpose that is now being driven even by library professionals.

Now, let's just state right up forward that there are many devoted Christians who are professional librarians, but the fact is that the profession of librarianship has moved again decidedly to the left. Just look at the American Library Association and the resolutions that it adopts year by year. The fact is that the American Library Association and many booksellers use the idea of Banned Book Weeks as basically propaganda, and there's also cultural intimidation here suggesting that it is wrong for parents to have some interest in, much less control of what their children read.

But when you look at USA Today's list coming from the ALA of the books that are now increasingly targeted, just consider that they include books such as A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo by Jill Twiss. Reasons challenged? “For including LGBTQIA+ content and for political and religious viewpoints.” You also have the book that's listed as number one, the most challenged. It is the title George by Alex Gino. The reasons it is challenged, "For encouraging children to clear browser history and change their bodies using hormones, and for mentioning dirty magazines describing male anatomy, creating confusion, and including a transgender character."

But let's just assume for a moment that you're coming from the cultural left, not the cultural right. What about number six? It is the book 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher. Reasons challenged, "For addressing teen suicide." That's nothing more than an absolute misrepresentation. Both the book and the television series became a focus of very widespread concern from both the left and the right because it was traceable to an actual spike in adolescent suicides amongst those who read the book and saw the television series.

But this should at least wake up some American Christian parents to what we are now facing. The reality is that if you seek to exercise your responsibility, not just your authority and right, but your responsibility as a parent, you are now considered the enemy by many who would, such as you see in the Labour Party, say that you don't have the right to make the decisions concerning the education of your children, and like those coming from the American Library Association who say in essence you are morally wrong if you want to control or even influence what your children and teenagers read. We're living in an age in which you can have widespread cultural conversation about Banned Book Weeks when actually, there are no books being banned.

I’m still confused about all those 60 hippies giving the V for victory sign, and WW-II had been over 15-20 years. 😂

I hate to be so naive, but Since all our hand signs are now labeled something else, what does a middle finger sticking up mean now?  Had a lady waving it at me when I pulled out in front of her.  Best guess - Have a nice day.  🤪
