Democracy Dies in Drama: Washington Post "Journalists" Get Into Public Catfight

Last week, former fake "conservative journalist" and current Ron Jeremy Impersonator (from the waist up) Dave Wiegel retweeted a risque joke that said, "All women are bi-. The only question is, sexual or polar." Or words to that effect.

The joke was undoubtedly prompted by the Amber Heard trial, as Heard claims to be bisexual and seems to be bipolar. Well I don't know about bipolar. A psychiatrist testified she has Borderline Personality Disorder and Histrionic Personality Disorder, which are not the same as bipolar disorder, but, you know, to laymen: Close enough.

A little feminist sociopath named Felicia Somnez who had already sued the Washington Post for alleged gender discrimination -- and who had had her case tossed out of court for failure to present any "plausible case" or theory of discrimination -- "confronted" Weigel in the company's slack chat:

Sonmez, according to messages that I obtained, also confronted Weigel in an internal WaPo Slack channel, tagging him and writing, "I'm sorry but what is this?"

It's a joke, Felicia. Calm your tits. Have a drink, have a cream soda, do some f***ing thing.

Apparently Felicia wasn't satisfied with the mollification she got privately, so she took to Twitter -- where else? -- to express her outrage over the tweet that would only seem outrageous to you if you had not lived through the 80s and 90s and heard this joke seventy hundred times.

And of course she went to Twitter because that is where you Farm Outrage in order to pressure corporations into canceling the people you want canceled.

On twitter, she complained sarcastically, "Fantastic to work at a news outlet where retweets like this are allowed!"

Allowed. Interesting word choice, Felicia.

I think it's pretty obvious that Felicia is attempting to pressure the Post to settle the suit that the judge already threw out of court by making unrelated bitchy complaints.

And so of course the Washington Post is setting new rules about what speech is "allowed" by their employees when not working at the paper.

Kristine Coratti Kelly, the paper's chief communications officer, issued a statement regarding Weigel’s retweet: "Editors have made clear to the staff that the tweet was reprehensible and demeaning language or actions like that will not be tolerated."

National editor Matea Gold dogpiled:

Oliver Darcy
@oliverdarcy

In Slack, a conversation took place about the retweet.
@MateaGold wrote to staffers in the Slack channel, "I just want to assure all of you that The Post is committed to maintaining a respectful workplace for everyone. We do not tolerate demeaning language or actions."

Weigel went supine over the non-offense and apologized to the person who was only pretending to be offended, in hopes of chiseling a settlement out of the company she is still suing (she's appealing the judge's decision, she said):

David Weigel
@daveweigel
I just removed a retweet of an offensive joke. I apologize and did not mean to cause any harm.

A real softboi liberal SJW, Jose Del Real, attempted to play peacemaker. He offered a response to Felicia Somnez in which he claimed (falsely) that Weigel's retweet was "terrible and unacceptable," but also said that everyone makes mistakes, and golly gee wilickers, maybe there's room for forgiveness here? Maybe we don't have to light up Twitter's Cancellation Networks over a retweet?

Felicia, we all mess up from time to time. Engaging in repeated and targeted public harassment of a colleague is neither a good look nor is it particularly effective. It turns the language of inclusivity into clout chasing and bullying. I don't think this is appropriate.
Dave's retweet is terrible and unacceptable. But rallying the internet to attack him for a mistake he made doesn’t actually solve anything. We all mess up in some way or another. There is such a thing as challenging with compassion.

That only fed the fire, of course.

She went on the unhinged rant she'd been itching to go on from the beginning.

Objecting to sexism is not “clout chasing.” It’s not “harassment.” And it’s certainly not “cruelty.”

Does the Washington Post agree? @SallyBuzbee @mateagold

Here is a personal thread I wrote last night about why speaking out matters to me and other women. 2/2 https://t.co/nmVqaD7nOk
— Felicia Sonmez (@feliciasonmez) June 5, 2022

Glad she disprove that thing about all women being bipolar.

She just continued ranting and claiming that she had to fight for the cancellation of Dave Weigel over a retweet because it was linked, somehow, to a sexual discrimination in Beijing in 2018 as well as her own claimed sexual assault.

It's all connected, you see. If we don't stop Dave Weigel, it's like we're just letting Felicia Somnez get sexually assaulted all over again.

And, PS, if we don't agree to settle Felicia Somnez's lawsuit on terms favorable to her, it's also like we're just Allowing the Rapists to Win.

If you're thinking "There's no way Dave Weigel escapes this without at least a suspension," ding-ding-ding, you're a smartie.

I mean, they have to do that, just so Felicia doesn't sue them again.

he Washington Post has suspended reporter David Weigel without pay for retweeting a sexist joke, a person familiar with the matter told CNN on Monday.
Weigel did not respond to a request for comment, but an out-of-office email said that he would return on July 5.
A spokesperson for The Post declined to comment, citing a need for privacy regarding personnel matters.

I have a feeling this won't be the last punishment. Once one SJW has "marked" you -- like a shark nipping you -- the rest of the sharks smell the blood in the water and soon the frenzy begins.

You will begin reading stories about Dave Weigel's prior Awkward Moments with women, and within two weeks a #MeToo Docket will be anonymously constructed about him.

And I don't really hate him, but: He did pick this side. I'm not rooting for his undoing, but I wouldn't lift a finger to stop it, either.

Still one of my favorite podcasts ever: Ethan Van Sciver talking about the financial hazard you assume when you hire SJWs to work at your company.

SJWs do not think about what your company is making. They can give a rat about your company's actual mission or whether it makes a profit or even remains in business.

SJWs come into your company with only one goal: To spread the SJW religion and force it on others. And they will gladly destroy your company if it permits them to inflict the cult of identity politics on just one unwilling person.

The story he's talking about regards two small, leftwing independent comic book publishers, Oni Comics and Lionforge Comics, who were both ailing financially and so decided to merge. In merging, they did what people always did when they merge, and which is the whole point of merging: They eliminated the weakest employees. The whole hope of a merger of two failing companies is that you can layoff most of the staff which is not directly engaged with revenue-making (accounting, HR, janitorial staff, stuff like that) so you can reduce those costs and maybe start breaking even.

The SJWs who were laid off began complaining that the merged company was racist, because they laid off women, women of color, and worse yet, queer women of color.

There was a big problem with accusing the resultant company of racism: Lionforge was itself founded entirely by black men. The whole identity of the brand was "the black independent comic book company."

Was that a problem in branding them racist?

Not much of a problem at all, as it turned out!

It is troubling to me that women are not only socially allowed to act like lunatics but are encouraged to do so in public, and men are heartily condemned if we even speak out or notice its happening.

I don't see this as any better than men treating women like children or imbeciles like some places in the past.

So spare me the wounded damsel routine. They're mostly not even hot enough to pull off Crazy.

In fact, i betcha that's what it boils down to. Hot = Crazy, therefore Crazy = Hot, and it's much easier to pretend to be Crazy than to pretend to be Hot.

I'm fat. I admit it and am working to lose some weight. When I asked my old doctor about what might be the best way to handle the situation so as not to get too discouraged, she was not very helpful. I told her I really hate seeing myself in a mirror and she offered to prescribe antidepressants.
She was not unusual in this. If a woman is unhappy with her body, life, relationships, whatever, docs first answer is antidepressants. Not go outside, get fresh air and exercise, read something uplifting, prayer or meditation, just straight to the drugs. They call that shit mothers little helper for a reason.

177 The thing that stands out about Somnez is what a joyless harpy she is. Harvard degree. Washington Post job. Both are prestigious, whether they should be or not. She's reasonably attractive. So she's never known the disadvantages of being plain or unattractive. Husband and kid. So she has a family. She ought to be reasonably happy; the kind of person who can read a non-work tweet she doesn't like, roll her eyes, and continue with her day. But she's not. This is a hanging offense. What would it take for her to be happy?

224 Real BPD involves an inability to regulate emotion including to the exclusion of being able to avoid serious, long-term consequences.

271 No amount of talk therapy is going to make a scintilla of difference, any more than it would help people with diabetes.

I understand what you are saying and to a point I agree, its just if the drug doesn't actually deal with the problem (is the chemicals that are showing cause or effect?) then all you do is hide the symptoms and leave people still depressed but unable to express or understand it.

Therapy, properly done, can help in physiological cases: helping the diabetic be more disciplined about diet and exercise, for instance.

My problem is that physicians are so free and quick to pull that lever. Toothache? Anti depressants. Leg torn off? Antidepressants. Menstrual cramps? Antidepressants.

I think we'd be a hell of a lot better off in our society finding other solutions than yet another pill.

It just hits too close to home. My daughter grew up with girlfriends on meds, and she *coveted* them. In her teens, a lot of her efforts were to be put on meds like her friends.

She's got a middling career job, moved out on her own, and can afford to go to the therapist herself, and finally, she's made it. She's on meds.

300 Therapists convince people that they have a litany of disorders which can only be made better through multiple sessions with the therapist.

And they never get better. Lorraine Bracco, the woman who played Tony Soprano's shink said (paraphrasing) that the show was so realistic because he kept going back to the therapist but never got any better.

And that's what I mean by "properly done", the Therapist is in the business of getting clients to keep coming and paying their fees. They have neither motivation or interest in anyone getting better, but its lots of fun to try out the latest new idea on someone.

But there are real, capable counselors who can help people. They're just super rare and shun nearly everything Jung or Freud ever suggested

Now its all like this, and almost all of them are trying out the latest psychological theories on everyone. Like the 80s when they kept "discovering" children were molested by leading them inevitably to that conclusion.

346 303 Nothing is your fault. You didn't fail because you lacked experience or simply made a mistake or you did everything right, but it still didn't go your way as life happens sometimes. No. It isn't your fault. You are neurodivergent atypical bipolar who learns visuomechanically and they just refused to accommodate you, and they hate trans people, which you just figured out that you are.

I believe you could market yourself as a life coach in coastal California and make a killing peddling your advice. You don't even have to be a therapist or psychiatrist.

She would not, but she'd watch and frown, then write a column about how we have to restrain ourselves from this urge to demonize our fellow man. In the end, she still pulls the lever for more of this stuff she condemns to keep happening.

352 Talk therapy can mitigate/solve a host of problems. But you need a good talk therapist and they are probably 1 in 5,000. And you also need a willingness to recognize problems with oneself and change them. And that's probably 1 in 1,000 patients. I may be underestimating on both counts but not by much.

Almost never listen to talk radio anymore (there are so many more interesting podcasters than these stale boomer-con talk show hosts), but tuned in to Clay Travis/Buck Sexton today for a moment. Naomi Wolf was on and spoke for about ten minutes straight. She was on fire, talking about how Klaus Schwab and company used the pandemic to screw the middle class and put small businesses out of business while enriching big corps, how the elites were creating a democracy-free surveillance state, etc., etc.

At the end, the hosts were utterly speechless. Finally one of them launched into one of those ads were they plug some bullshit product, then they went to commercial break. It was just such a weird juxtaposition. They never said a word about what she said even after the break, instead they ranted for the 117th time about how cool the new Top Gun movie is.
