How did you observe International Women+ Day?

International Women's Day was on Wednesday.

Not long ago, troublemaker James Lindsay started using the term "woman+". Then, as noted in a piece picked up in J.J. Sefton's Thursday Morning Report on Women's History Month, Lindsay found out that this term was REAL. In another piece picked up by J.J. concerning International Women's Day, "In Canada, where the campaign is called 'Her for She,' the limited edition candy bars feature the faces of five women chosen to be a part of the campaign - - and one of them is, in fact, a man."

Proceeding on to cause further trouble, James Lindsay reminded us of Saul Alinsky's continued influence on the left, and the difference between rallying the troops and convincing young teens that you are on their side:

Treating The Woke like hysterical women

Uh-oh. Fight incoming:

In honor of International Women+'s Day, I want to talk about something important, including Matt Walsh. Many people really like Matt and his approach. I think mostly good things about it myself, but many intuit something is off and can't articulate it. It's this: Woke is a woman.
— James Lindsay, loved but ineffective (@ConceptualJames) March 9, 2023

The Woke ideology is female. You can't respond to it with toxic masculine strength. That's punching a woman in the face. Matt does great then says stuff like "you wanted this fight so now you have it." That's not how you deal with a hysterical woman; that's for an aggressive man.
Woke advances by summoning demons that barely exist so it can defeat them. When Matt and other reactionaries step into that aggressive man vs man posture, they become the Left's demon and thus help them. Many people rightly intuit this. It can be sidestepped with strength, tho.

Let me tell you the single. most. important. thing. you. must. understand. about. Woke. activism: it depends entirely on this reaction, so much so that it considers it "the real action." Get this into your heads now and start suspecting the manipulation.
The real action is your target's reaction.

James Lindsay recommends this site for study: Beautiful Trouble

The thread continues. Not everyone agrees. What do you think?

One former woke teenager weighs in on how to communicate with The Woke:

As a former woke teenager, let me give you some inside information: most women are woke because it appeals to our nurturing and empathetic side that cares for victims. It's impossible to win this argument by doing this whole "facts don't care about your feelings hurrr durrr biology is real" thing.
You have to appeal to our sense of justice and demonstrate that real harm is being done. It's impossible to win this argument by doing this whole "facts don't care about your feelings hurrr durrr biology is real" thing.
You have to appeal to our sense of justice and demonstrate that real harm is being done. That's why the "coming after the kids" and "erasing womanhood" narratives work when talking to women.
So stop being bullies to random trans people on the internet if you actually want to win the argument. Being aggressive and cruel does not jive with us. Keep demonstrating why wokeism is HURTING people and your target audience will find more to empathize with in your argument.

Case in point, what the opposition is teaching:

A book for toddlers:

The cherry on top is the "ode to woke feminism."
We must raise our youth to understand there is but one way biological women can "end the patriarchy." To rid the West of the terrible scourge wrought by white cis-gendered normative males, women must hand over their opportunities, bathrooms, athletics, and babies to predominantly white biological men who identify as women.
Proving once and for all . . . the women+ movement is what a REAL feminism looks like.

Looks like Lindsay is not adverse to some humor:

A few notes on International Women's Day

Seems like there has been some news about banks in trouble recently. Notice any feminine energy here?

Karl Marx predicted Capitalism would be replaced by Socialism through bloody revolution. And he predicted it would happen first in the industrial West. After taking a detour through Russia & Asia, it is finally happening w/o a drop of blood. And many simply don’t see it. https://t.co/KfWvOQqJ3b

"Women are the primary victims of conflict" is the sort of abject nonsense everyone knows is false but no one wants to publicly disagree with.

IIRC my Horowitz, 94% of battle casualties and fatalities are men. https://t.co/35XSKA5Aw8
— Wilfred Reilly (@wil_da_beast630) March 8, 2023

Aren't "Women+" required to serve in the military just like men in Ukraine? Unlike biological women?

Meanwhile, our Department of State is offering a 3 million dollar grant for a project to build a global girl-centered climate action movement. They apparently don't care about boys. Or maybe they think girls make better activists and boys are better at hard fossil fuel-free labor.

There's also a $500,000 grant to promote inclusive societies in Mongolia.

2020 update from AEI. Will there ever be a need for an International Men+ Day?

Why Are So Many Guys Obsessed With Master and Commander?

20 years after its release, the mildly successful historical nautical drama has become an inescapable hit with a certain type of movie fan.

If you kidnapped a hundred of Hollywood's top minds and forced them to work around the clock, they could not engineer a more exquisite Dad Movie. Though Master and Commander is ostensibly about the Surprise sailing to intercept a French enemy warship, the battle scenes, exhilarating as they may be, are few and far in between. The bulk of the film -- and the heart of its charm -- is instead a meticulous rendering of daily life at sea: the monotony of hard labor, the palpable threat of scurvy, the dirty-faced sailors who sleep in close quarters and grin through yellowed teeth. (You know it smells crazy in there.) Even better? All the screen time devoted to close conversations between Aubrey and Maturin, and their two-dude violin and cello jam sessions. You come away with a sense of satisfaction at their accomplishments and camaraderie, and just a bit of longing over a bygone way of life.

I think the above is the version from the album for the movie, but I'm not sure. La Musica Notturna Delle Strade Di Madrid, No.6 Op.30. Does it make you think of the streets of Madrid?

As to whether to go with Option A or B, I suggest Option C: mockery and laughter. A big part of the problem is that people take these lunatics far too seriously. Point and laugh, and if their feelz are hurt, so much the better.

Wasn't the original book about the Brits chasing down an American ship? And they changed it for the movie?

25 Master and Commander is a wonderful film and is even used in leadership training classes. Mister Hollum, you must make a decision! The fun thing about the movie is that they changed the nationality of the "bad guy's" ship from the original novel. In the movie, the Acheron is a Yankee built ship bought by the French and the movie takes place in 1805. In the book, the action takes place during a later part of the Napoleonic wars, during the War of 1812 and the bad guys are American. I think that would have been box office poison on this side of the pond.

They are in for a rude awakening. When the shit hits the fan I guarantee you leftest women will do an 180 degree turn and we will see a 21st century revival of the "White Feather Brigade" where they will be shaming men for not protecting them.

The whole kerfuffle involving JK Rolling (In the Dough) is exactly that. It's looking at all this from the perspective of traditional feminists, and SOME of them having the courage to say "what the heck, man?"

They believe they fought (and won) the battle for women's rights, and now men are taking advantage of it. And yet there are some on the so-called right who say "screw those feminazis, they took our jerbs!" And want nothing to do with them.

75 Woke is definitely feminine. It's destructive, ragingly narcissistic, seeks only its own, operates exclusively on emotion, eschews reason, rejects objective truth, ruins people to get its way, lacks self-awareness, and has no sense of morality or justice.

I disagree with the kid gloves approach. That's what got us here in the first place. There is no appeal to justice, and "they're coming after the kids" doesn't work when they're already all in on poisoning and mutilating children so they can fit in at the book and wine club. They have to start being met directly and forcefully for once.

78 I think the young woman is correct about how to approach women on the subject of transgenderiism, I don’t know how that would work between men and men.
Posted by: FenelonSpoke at March 11, 2023 11:33 AM (Y9dJL)

If you start with the assumption that somewhere around 99.9% of the men who "transition" into women were sexually abused by men, what happens when men go to "curb stomp" said trans, the simply reinforce the notion that men are monsters who want to have sex with them.

So at the very least, you're not winning any of them over with your curb stomping, and you're going to find a substantially large number of women who were ALSO abused by men in their lives seeing you as monsters.

So good luck with that.

81 Of course I love M&C, and the Aubreys. (To those who find them hard to follow, I recommend A Sea of Words, by Dean Kiing.)

Of course, I'm the natural audience. But they are MUCH better than all rivals, except Melville.

One thing not mentioned above (which is odd given the earlier part of the post) is that we see a world entirely without women. Oh, there's a very brief scene where Jack smiles at a Brazilian girl. But that's it, and if cut, it wouldn't be noticed.

But you cannot do this from the other side. The Women does not have a single male, it is true. But men are at the core of the story, throughout. Which just may be what they mean in saying women are the true victims of war. Because we are not paying attention to them.

One month on the beachhead complete and we have less ground than when I started. Still our position is far better and though our troops are tired they are well established. 5 Div (Br) is taking over 56 Div sector. 1st Armd Inf Regt is taking part of front between 45 Div and 1st Div.

The only way it's zero is if the war is over by then, and given that Team Biden is hellbent on keeping this thing going, I don't see how that happens.

Is Russia going to quit? Hell no. If it ever reaches the point where Russia might lose, and there's no indication that's going to happen, no matter how hard the media in this country wants to pretend it will, then Russia fires nooks. So I guess in that scenario, we won't have boots on the ground. There won't be boots anywhere.

One of the questions I tend to ask, whenever I hear about the latest outrage: Is this going to lead to an increase or decrease in population?

Men not wanting to have anything to do with women will tend toward population decrease. It's already happening in most of Europe, and the U.S. is approaching a zero growth rate in natives.

It's one of the reasons Europe is importing people, an done of the reasons Team Biden wants to import them too. Replace with third world animals, native populations go down even faster, and eventually the New World Order achieves its goal of reducing world population to an "acceptable" level.

I say (fingers crossed) that it won't happen. The Potato can say whatever is on the teleprompter, but the realpolitik is the junta is paying the Biden marker to Zelensky.

It's easier to give Zelensky arms and assurances, which is about all the current regime is good for.

Yeah, the British on the left side of the front bore the brunt of the counterattack and were down to incredibly thinned out units, unable to mount a counterattack, especially with sketchy resupply. I think they came perilously close to not holding that line. The Americans on the right did not take as many casualties.

Sure, there's probably someplace between here and, say, Iran, which is actually stable and functional. But it's nowhere near where we are today.

It's a stupid point the quoted article is making anyway, since criticism and rejection are in fact not "punching a woman in the face," they are both just speech. If you're going to insist society cater to people, of either sex, who need acceptance and all criticism removed, you've abandoned stability and functionality as goals.

Also, since we're talking about "women" rather than women, it would be punching a man in the face, even if the violence aspect of it was legitimate.

131 Men not wanting to have anything to do with women will tend toward population decrease. It's already happening in most of Europe, and the U.S. is approaching a zero growth rate in natives.

It's well below that.

Total fertility rate (TFR), which is the average number of children a woman will have in her lifetime given current trends, fell to 2.02 children for immigrants — below the 2.1 necessary to replace the existing population. This means that, in the long-run, immigration may add to population aging.
Immigrant fertility has declined more rapidly than that of native-born women. In 2008, immigrant women had a TFR of 2.75 children; by 2019 it had fallen to 2.02 — a 0.73-child decline. For native-born women, it declined from 2.07 to 1.69 — a 0.38-child decline.
The TFR for all women (immigrant and native-born) in America in 2019 was 1.76. Excluding immigrants, it would be 1.69 — the rate for natives. The difference is .06 children, or a 4 percent increase in overall TFR in the United States.

Sorry, I know you didn't say it, the "curb stomping" was said upthread, and it strikes me as an emotional response from some people who enjoy a good harumph, without actually thinking about the practical effects.

My point being, if you aren't dealing with someone who is rational and sane, no amount of "curb stomping" will do a damn bit of good, and frankly, the men who will respond more positively to curb stomping, they're not behind ANY of this in the first place. They're already on the same side as those who would curb stomp.

Our response was 100% negative, whether it was from women who accused the company of hating men and promoting unfairness to the rabid hyper woke crowd who wont be happy until the company is 100% female and all males are dead. Not a single positive response

it was glorious, one of the worst, nastiest backlashes Ive ever seen. I cant wait to provide my report

148 ...when the SCOTUS declared homo marriages legal.

The SCOTUS has tried to rationalize their weak rulings by saying that if Congress wanted such-n-such then it would have been legislated. So SCOTUS wold appeal to those who made The Law to decide.

In the world of marriage. Congress never had the authority to define marriage. Marriage has been a transcendent institution since the beginning of human history and has been largely the same in all tribes, cultures and tongues throughout the ages.

But SCOTUS, under a copy of the Ten Commandment given to us by the Great Law Maker, in a country which mission statement (The Declaration of Independence) stated that the Natural laws by the Creator were worth sacrificing "Lives, Fortunes and sacred Honor" said "screw-it, lets assume authority over the greatest institution of all of human history and then trash it with absolutely no quid pro quo".

He is a school teacher in an urban area-very nice, thoughtful man. He said he was comfortable attending a church in another denomination in Princeton (an ultra woke one, but he didn't call it that) but my church was closer to his home and he evinced an interest in the ministry. After that he no longer came to church.

Also, I think feminists have solidified the belief that women are only good as sex toys now and virtually nothing else, so men may not be looking for a decent girl simply because they don't believe they exist (like me)

Compare the desirability ratings between hetero males and females on dating sites.

Men rate women on a scale of 1-10 with wider variance in what they will accept and are analytical in their ratings.

Women all think they are 9s or 10s and all want the top two males out of ten.

There are no "good genders or bad genders" on the issue there are competing mating and survival philosophies.

Acknowledging this is women's shit and they should manage it is not an attack, it's an expression of disinterest.

Where there's hostility is the fact that feminists created this situation with their silly insistence that men and women are completely interchangeable and expect us to step in a fix it somehow, when we basically have no say in this society any more, and the one way we could actually accomplish something is deemed 'too mean' to be considered.

231 OK, maybe true.

"The poll, commissioned by Superdrug Online Doctor, surveyed over 1,000 men in the United States and United Kingdom to examine how men are feeling about their body image after 2021. Overall, just 41.9 percent say they’re happy with the way they look. You might call it a “mid-life crisis,” but that number is even lower among men between 36 and 45 years-old (39.6%) and 46 and 55 (36.1%). Results show that 37.1% of respondents rated themselves below the 5.9 average.

It turns out the mirror is the biggest enemy men have in their homes, with 40 percent saying looking in the mirror is the top cause of their body insecurity issues. Their overall health (38.8%) and social media (26.9%) also contribute to this."

Unfortunately claiming that the "initial situation" was not met to guarantee success means that everyone stands around trying to place blame instead of trying to make it work correctly.
It also means that everyone stands around arguing endlessly to create a better starting point instead of the real world work of getting out and making what we have do what we want.

248 I loved Master and Commander. After a Sunday book thread, I started reading the books. I had to request them through inter-library loan, so it took me over a year to read them. I loved them all, some more than others. Aubrey and Maturin were wonderful and so were the other recurring characters who came along. Despite sailing around the world getting into and out of trouble and having adventures, they were rarely repetitive and if they were, so what. I always regret when a series comes to an end and this was no different. It's like losing an old acquaintance. I felt the same way about Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone books. Sad that it had come to an end.

The Woke ideology is female. You can't respond to it with toxic masculine strength. That's punching a woman in the face. Matt does great then says stuff like "you wanted this fight so now you have it." That's not how you deal with a hysterical woman; that's for an aggressive man.

I think I know whats going on there, the question is worded on evaluating LOOKS specifically (not a general overall assessment of your value as a partner). In terms of being an overall CATCH, I do believe men underestimate themselves.

Women never seem to be happy with how they LOOK when they check themselves in a mirror every 5 seconds, whereas a guy will check his dad bod once every 6 months in the mirror and give a thumbs up

But in terms of being an overall catch (not looks, but everything) women seem to really really overrate themselves (how else can you justify a checklist of 500 million things their perfect man must meet)

284 273 The implicit problem with the first arguments, is that Women are the Judge of whether an argument is valid or not... it rests upon the Premise that Women are the Judges here.

So what us Men think does not matter?
Posted by: Romeo13 at March 11, 2023 12:41 PM (oHd/0)

Basically. That's part of intersectionality. Your position to judge and the correctness of your arguments depend on how many "victim" categories you belong to. If you have a vaj, dark skin, you're gay, whatever. If you're male, white, and straight, neither your arguments nor you have any validity whatsoever.

So, the whole study is based on something that has no actual way of measuring? Just how YOU would measure? with no standard by which to compare?

And then of course, even though Men rated people higher on that scale overall, including the women they rated... which would RAISE the overall score for women, and Women rated Men LOWER, thus lowering their overall score... that somehow Women are more Rational than Men.... which is the VERY LAST LINE OF THE ARTICLE AND THUS THE CONCLUSION.

I'm not sure if weedwhacker is supposed to be code for something, but assuming it is, I find the question to be wholly irrelevant to the matter at hand.

Due to the fact that being in his predicament had more to do with opening himself up to others' weedwhackers, and less to do with his own.

"Target was an airport just east of the city of Giessen. Bombed P.F.F. No flak." Mission #44, duration 3:50."

Still haven't systematically tracked his target locations but can tell they're moving east. Previous targets were all in North Rhine-Westphalia, this was in Hesse. Medium-bomber units mostly focused on hitting infrastructure and high-value military targets like ammo dumps and airports.

Ye shall be as gods. Just the latest battle in the Satanic war against Creation. In one form or another, they all seek to unleash sin, invert Truth and lead God's children to damnation.

Thinking about movie stars and other assorted celebrities, the ones who are exceptionally good looking don't seem to be particularly happy with their lives.

I think of the infamous slap incident at the Oscars last year. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett are both exceptionally good looking people. Does it seem they're happy? Chris Rock does, with that goofy, ship eating grin on his face all the time, he seems like a fairly normal (by Hollowood standards) guy, meanwhile Will got where he did, most likely being manhandled by execs in the music industry, and Jada got her start on a casting couch.

Of course, the problem with these discussions is that people are arguing from their own perspective, and there's truth in both sides. Of course not ALL women who cheat blame their husbands, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the vast majority of them do.

I've put my situation out here publicly, and frankly the biggest difference between me and a lot of other guys is I choose not to be bitter about it. I choose to dust myself off and get on with my life, and hold none of it against her... because she's insane. So if she thinks it's my fault she left me for another man, who am I to argue. She's the one who has to live with that. I don't. And I won't.

sorry it's one of those "player" type terms - like alpha male or that sort of thing. that women will test their mate quality by pulling bad stuff on the object of their affection until he has enough and puts a stop to it.

I do think it's a natural thing in the "battle of the sexes." and men have stopped playing the game, so it gets more and more out there (in a vain attempt to get "his" attention)

anyway obviously I would agree this is all feminine thinking (woke-ism) and based on our innate focus on social cohesion (conformity) above all else. which had valid reasons for thousands and thousands of years - we often had to leave our clan and fit in with strangers and keep our progeny alive thru that.

in short - Mr Lindsay is quite correct

What I don't know and isn't readily obvious from his diary is when he is hitting a target marked by pathfinders, or is part of the pathfinder force himself. I think the former.

But I haven't yet researched the topic much. I hope to, and expect enlightenment will follow.

Not a big deal but I'd like to fully decipher every detail in his telegraphic notes. And I think he was in the 394th, so the link you provided is quite close to the mark.

358 I find it intriguing that the Biden admin. doesn't just hire run of the mill gays, you know, ones that could almost pass as normals.

That's probably part of the fun. But it's a bit deeper than that.

This administration's first staffing requirement is absolute ideological purity. Thus, you get people like Nuclear Dog Boy and Admiral Lady-Boy. These weirdos will be loyal to the regime because failure will come at a very high price for them.

To throw a different bent on this; it is INCREDIBLY destructive to non-woke movements to contort themselves to play by their clownworld rules. Especially if you end up failing to raise actual men - while the woke-ists remain in power because they control levers that include armed men quite willing to engage in violence.

Similarly, a lot of people like trying to fend off the progs by holding them to their own rules. This is fun but simply doesn't work in the long run when they don't truly acknowledge any rules in the first fucking place - that's the problem with them. Nobody is talking, snarking, or politicking their way out of what is coming.

360 Remember the old adage, "you can't judge a man by the dress he wears".

361 This is the kind of thing James Lindsay wants people to avoid getting manipulated into: a "drag Floyd" event complete with Neo-Nazis waving swastikas.

Could be false flag. Doesn't matter with regard to the optics.
