Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
“My generation of boys is f**ked,” says Rupert, a young German video game enthusiast I’ve been getting to know over the past few months. “Marriage is dead. Divorce means you’re screwed for life. Women have given up on monogamy, which makes them uninteresting to us for any serious relationship or raising a family. That’s just the way it is…In school, boys are screwed over time and again. Schools are engineered for women. In the US, they force-feed boys Ritalin like Skittles to shut them up. And while girls are favoured to fulfil quotas, men are slipping into distant second place.”
“Nobody in my generation believes they’re going to get a meaningful retirement. We have a third or a quarter of the wealth previous generations had, and everyone’s fleeing to higher education to stave off unemployment and poverty because there are no jobs.”
“All that wouldn’t be so bad if we could at least dull the pain with girls. But we’re treated like paedophiles and potential rapists just for showing interest.”
:
The sexodus didn’t arrive out of nowhere, and the same pressures that have forced so many millennials out of society exert pressure on their parent’s generation, too. One professional researcher in his late thirties, about whom I have been conversing on this topic for some months, puts it spicily: “For the past, at least, 25 years, I’ve been told to do more and more to keep a woman. But nobody’s told me what they’re doing to keep me.“I can tell you as a heterosexual married male in management, who didn’t drop out of society, the message from the chicks is: ‘It’s not just preferable that you should fuck off, but imperative. You must pay for everything and make everything work; but you yourself and your preferences and needs can fuck off and die.'”
It seems to me like a maturity problem. Checking out of society is not the answer, but there has to be an answer somewhere, and that answer has to have something to do with checking out of something. That’s where the power is. Others can say what they are offering you, but they can’t say you’re going to accept it. The young guys need to learn to aim.
Feminists have to do some growing-up too. You can see by the ones who are pushing seventy, yelling like nine-year-olds, that a lot of them aren’t good at the whole maturity thing. And they can’t aim either. These are the ones famous for printing up & shouting slogans about “all men [being] potential rapists” and so forth.
Regarding the thing about “pay for everything and make everything work, but fuck off and die,” yes, that is American politics over the last half century right there. Every self-important faction has a designated, loathed, class that they’re ready to define, isolate, de-personalize, make into a target. And, the message from the faction to the class is always the same: Get the fuck out so the rest of us can make the big decisions; leave your billfold behind. Feminists say it to men, “greens” say it to “corporations,” “blacktivists” say it to anybody who’s white, gays say it to straights, lefties say it about the “Tea Party,” “Occupy” people say it to anybody who bothers to make a living. Off you go, leave your wallet behind.
The irony is, that’s the answer. Reduce the influence of those who have no solution to their own several problems, save for targeting & reducing the influence of others, this shit stops cold. Who knows, maybe everyday life starts getting a whole lot cheaper. Maybe.

Remember the Promise Keepers?
Come up with a secular-ish version of that, with badges and uniforms. Downplay the “leader of the family” angle and replace it with a “back to nature” angle. It can’t be officially male-only — the SJW courts will see to that — but there are ways to make it unappealing to girls (call it “Logic Club” or something).
It’s been done before, with spectacular results. Only this time, there’s the internet, which means for every open-air torchlight rally, there are hundreds of chat rooms and message boards that the chicks can’t access.
Once they inevitably get into politics, it will be awful for everyone… but SJW chicks of both sexes seem to desperately want it, so we might as well get it started.
