More American "justice"

http://www.austinchronicle.com/news/2011-07-15/one-last-visit-for-mother-and-son/

The boy's life was robbed. I think an eye for an eye for all those involved in putting the boy in prison and keeping him there once it was clear he was innocent would be more fair than what our "justice" system is doing.

Who gives a shit about Roger Clemens?

The government is spending money to persecute this guy because he's accused of lying to Congress?

Congress lies to the American People every day. How about putting them on trial?

Or here's a crazy idea, how about putting false rape accusers on trial for lying in an attempt to ruin innocent men and boys' lives? Seems a bit more important than trying someone for lying about fucking baseball.

Justice

The only justice available for many women is this website, since our criminal "justice" system has failed us.

The Good Men Project is Evil

Google Science Fair 2011 winners: all girls, zero innovation, empty buzz words

Google Science Fair 2011 winners.

All girls.

A fellow at Reddit/MR asked whether we should give Google the benefit of the doubt for choosing three girls and mentioning "girl power". I can't imagine an article about "boy power" if three boys had won.

Let's analyze these results. They gave the age 13-14 prize to a girl who basically just cooked chicken with different marinades. Meanwhile Luke Taylor from South Africa did the following:

With this in mind, he embarked on a project to help robots understand commands written in natural human language. He limited design and testing to a prototype robot called Tribot and used only a basic set of instructions. The resulting application, SIMPLE, analyzes and translates English sentences into C-code. It also compiles and downloads them, as well as assisting users via prompts that request required information to program the robot.

I wonder which was actually more deserving. This kid's a genius, and the girl is... a decent cook?

I mean just look at what the boys did versus what the girls did. The girls did very simple experiments, nothing innovative, no new technology, while the boys created new things and tested new hypotheses. http://www.google.com/events/sciencefair/finalists.html

It's just an indication of the stupidity of our culture, where we discourage innovation (what boys do best) and encourage rote memorization for indoctrination purposes (what girls do best). It wouldn't surprise me if the "girl power" thing was a motivator for the judges too, though.

And look, the finalists in the 17-18 range were all boys except for the one girl, who again did a simple experiment. The boys, for the most part, developed innovative technologies. And so the girl wins.

You'll also notice that the three girls did projects on carcinogens/environment/cancer which are nice juicy catchphrases today, the kind of crap the general public, and naive little girls, eat up. Meanwhile the boys actually tended to do projects on meaningful, complicated stuff, requiring innovation and a great deal of talent, rather than just focusing on cancer and environment buzz words.

Of course, the girls are rewarded for eating up the propaganda, while the boys are the ones actually pushing the boundaries of science.

Today you are rewarded for conforming, not for innovating. For creating waste, not value. It's true in the corporate world, government, and apparently the Google Science Fair. And women are really good at value destruction - HR, non-essential public sector jobs, and worthless science fair projects.

edit: I just noticed that each winner will receive the following prize: "A personal LEGO color mosaic (one for each team member, to build her/himself)". Yikes! I sure hope the instruction booklets are clear, since although the innovative, creative, logical, and spatial cognitive ability of the winners has not been demonstrated, they sure know how to perform rote tasks! I hope they don't struggle too much before they call in their brother or dad (stepdad?) to put them together.

additional edit: After some discussion at reddit/mensrights, I have the following to say: The people who advance technology are the innovators, not the followers. These "winners" are followers. Several of the boys who did not win are true innovators and will contribute more than these "winners" ever will, guaranteed. A society that rewards people who won't contribute shit to this world over the ones who will is not a good one.

I responded to quite a few comments at Reddit, threads linked here for full disclosure:

Casually throwing out accusations of "misogyny" is misandry

After posting a link to Ferdinand Bardamu's article on the Rebecca Watson meme at Reddit/MensRights, I noticed something.

Some Redditors seem to think that attacking someone's actions or views is "misogyny" - as long as that person (presumably) has female genitalia.

Misuse of the word "misogyny" is a form of chivalry, as it shields females from being criticized, a privilege males are not granted. The very act of using "misogyny" incorrectly also reinforces in the audience the improper use of the term, making it more likely for members of the audience to make the same mistake, and making it even more difficult to criticize women and harder to combat misandry. Perpetual misuse of the term "misogyny" has led the average person to interpret criticism of a woman as misogyny, especially if the critic is male.

Thus, using the term "misogyny" in this way IS an act of misandry.

Misogyny is the hatred of women, plain and simple. Ferdinand is not trashing this creature, who happens to be purportedly female, because she is a woman. He is trashing her because she's a bad person.

Is Ferdinand being mean? Sure. Call him a big meanie butt if you want. But to claim his piece is misogynistic not only is a lie but is also quite misandric.

Note how I have expressed doubt regarding Rebecca Watson's sex twice and also referred to her as a "creature". This was a demonstration of being MEAN. It is not MISOGYNY.

You might ask yourself who started misusing the term "misogyny" in the first place, allowing the twisted definition to propagate in our culture and thus barring all criticism of women. Could it be the same people who claim that anyone who criticizes feminism is a misogynist?

Inmalafide starts meme regarding repulsive feminist Rebecca Watson

She's the troll who complained because she got hit on in an elevator at 4 AM - God knows how drunk the guy must have been to do that - and it made her feel "uncomfortable".

What being a feminist means to me

A poster at TwoXChromosomes asked, and here is my reply:

Feminism is a sexist power movement for women at the expense of men, boys, families, and society at large. It assumes men are evil and always to blame, women are perfect and always innocent, and men should be more like women. In short, it is not egalitarian but instead a form of misandry, or hatred of males, seeking special privileges and entitlements for females.

This is easily demonstrated by what feminism has actually done and not the platitudes regarding equality. For example, even though only 40% of college graduates are male, feminists don't care. They'd prefer to focus on getting more women into college in STEM fields even though women are simply not as interested in STEM as men are. This demonstrates that feminism seeks special privileges for women and girls at the expense of men and boys.

Feminist advocates are also well known for falsifying statistics in order to push their hate movement onto the rest of us, such as the lie that 1 in 4 women on campus are raped and the lie that only 2% of rape accusations are false. Feminists ignore all the issues men and boys face, even the ones that feminism has directly caused, except where convenient to appear to be about equality. Due largely to feminist campaigning, in the courts today men who are accused of rape, domestic violence, or child abuse are assumed guilty until proven innocent, and the "family" courts routinely destroy good men based on feminism's lie that women are better parents and that men are always to blame.

On the "Move Over" law

http://www.kxan.com/dpp/news/local/police-look-for-move-over-law-violators

Sometimes you can't move over to another lane (because there are CARS there). Sometimes you shouldn't slow down to 20 MPH under the speed limit (because there are CARS behind you).

When I see a police car on the side of the road I always try to move over and slow down to the speed limit, which is reasonable. REQUIRING that I slow down to 20 mph under the speed limit OR move over is STUPID, as in many cases this simply is not a SAFE thing to do.

By all means, penalize the jackasses who drive by going 80 mph in a 60 zone in the far right line. But don't penalize me for driving safely.

Texas drivers are terrible in general and selfish. I always let someone in when they're trying to change lanes, within reason. Most Austin drivers don't seem so courteous.

Besides, most of the speed limits posted on the highways in Texas are far too low - when they should be 70, they're 60. When they should be 65, they're 55. I'm sure plenty of people have been ticketed for driving safely but technically being over the arbitrary and silly speed limits.

In Texas, unlike in Michigan, it seems to be generally safest to drive faster than most other drivers, above the speed limit, and in the far left lanes, in order to avoid some asshole rear ending you. This is much safer than driving 5 or 10 under the speed limit in the far right lane, but technically it's illegal because I'm driving over the speed limit. Though from what I've seen, Houston is a lot worse than Austin in this regard.

Now if the cops are going to start ticketing people for driving safely and courteously even if they cannot slow down or change lanes when an emergency vehicle is on the side of the road, we know their priorities are fucked up.

If there's not enough REAL crime in Austin to justify the number of police we have, then we should have fewer police officers.

It seems Redditors don't care for the Austin police:

Fuck the police, and fuck the APD, in particular. Worthless, tax sucking pieces of shit.

The general public's definition of "misogyny"

Misogyny (noun) - Definition: Holding women accountable for their actions.

Women focus too much on meaningless shit

http://www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/ik7ne/ive_finally_found_a_tampon_that_fits_my/c24j0ta?context=3

It's pretty stupid to base the tampon you buy on how fashionable and cute it is, rather than how well it functions.

This is why when women got the right to vote, politics started being more about how attractive you were than whether you actually got anything done.

And here we are, on the verge of governmental collapse. It only took women less than a century to fuck it all up.

Isn't circumcision fun?

Awww, aint it cute?

I didn't know babies undergoing torture could sound worse than a cat being attacked in the middle of the night.

Awesome article regarding masculinity and misandry at A Voice for Men

The damage to masculinity can be seen in the efforts to extend its isolation and confuse and vilify its identity. This is repeated in criminal, civil and family law, higher learning and academia, politics, sports and media. The male has achieved what is better defined as landed immigrant status and taxation without representation. America has become the land of the female home of the slave. Amidst the calamity of a fashion sensitive selection of a masculinity, the practitioner male who is selecting should realize there is only one central question he must answer. Who will this masculinity serve, himself or everyone else?

...

What we are doing to young males is pathologizing their gender. We are subtly planting a neurotic, overanxious confusion that can only migrate to rage fueled by social betrayal. The same could be said for girls when they are later in life labeled as a bitch for displaying aggressive behavior. The difference however is one does not suffer the violence of the state when misunderstood. By the time we introduce gender modifying tactics it is already too late, the child has already conceptualized his identity. We are simply undermining his understanding and ability to express his role, particularly if we remove his father as a role model, or if that role model is damaged by alienation.

...

Male role models however understand the potential for a successful exchange by applying chivalrous actions and are able to illustrate to younger males its value for personal gain. I am reminded of a young man who following the teachings of his mother to protect women, intervened unsolicited on behalf of a woman in a bar, he was hospitalized in a coma, suffering a head trauma. Her teachings did not include his safety or self-worth. Additionally a nephew who on the street admonished a man for the way in which he spoke to his partner and was answered by two blows to the head, the second blow from the woman. Clearly there is a difference between preaching masculinity and teaching masculinity.

Women's lust for "hot guy" stars

One of the reasons I didn't respect many women growing up was because most of them were superficial slaves to their "gina tingles", which is verified by the fact that you can hear a cacophony of horny screams every time a "hot guy" star is on TV. When an attractive female star is on stage, you may hear cheers from the men, but you don't hear them screaming lustily like complete animals, genitalia engorged with blood.

With women, on the other hand, you can hear the distinctly female cheers of lust overriding everything else. They cannot control themselves, and plenty of them get sopping wet guaranteed.

Not attractive, ladies. Get a little modesty, eh?

And remember, it's not "misogyny" if it's true. :)

This is why I laugh every time I hear that men are animals who just want sex, and women are angels.

Here's an example of women's unabashed horniness being excused, and women in the crowd cheering her on:



That this short of shit is excused and encouraged as all forms of male sexuality are demonized is pathetic.

From BinaryShadow at reddit/mensrights:

It's also perfectly fine for the women in the audience to cat call like he's a piece of meat. Had men done that to an attractive woman they would have been warned and then escorted out the premises (if she wasn't "offended" by them. If she was they would have been arrested).
