I once enjoyed the True Taste of Scotland in a pub in Edinburgh. Sunday morning, hung over, looking for hair of the dog and comfort food. Ordered nachos. When the food came out, the landlord confessed the sour cream had gone bad, so he had substituted mayo.

You're merely repeating the half-truth of Patriarchy Theory. You (and Olympe de Gouge & today's Feminism) see only the way wives were subordinate to husbands, ignoring the ways husbands were subordinate to wives... such as a husband being jailed on behalf of his wife for her unpaid debts, or the husband being jailed for failing to control his wife, if she assaulted someone.

Karen Straughan says that half-truth is inadequate for her to endorse feminism-- it skews everything from fair courts to public education to tax-spending to foreign policy to boys' & girls' self-image to relationship advice.

Men were jailed for failing to control their wives because wives were assumed to be punished privately, by their husbands, and unable to be responsible of anything.

The problem with your (and Straughan's) argument that "subordination of women" is a "half-truth" is that things you write about aren't "husband being subordinate to wives", they're treating wives like children or animals, without legal agency or responsibility. You're not considered subordinated to your children, but you're the one to pay for their debts if they're minors, and you're jailed or fined for their actions if they're under a certain age. You're not subordinated to your pets, but if your dog bites the mailman you pay for damages and go to jail, not the dog. Hell, people were supposed to pay for the damage done by their slaves: does this mean that they were subordinated to their slaves?

You seem to be unable to understand that what at least one part of feminism originally was about was equal rights AND equal responsibilities, about considering women adults with agency and independence just like men. Libertarian feminism was a thing. If you don't want to call it feminism, fine, don't call it feminism, call it "women's rights", but whatever it was some women fought for equal rights, and it was a good thing to do.

It's only after "responsibility" was dropped (largely due to the predominant marxist narrative of Patriarchy as the social equivalent of Capitalism) that the current "woe is me" feminism became the dominant narrative and women are once again patronized assumed not to be able to do sex work if they choose to (because all sex work is RAPE) or to defend themselves by avoiding danger (that's victim blaming!111!!) or not to crumble like paper because of mean words on the Internet (women have it harder! men are told that they'll be killed, women that they'll be raped!).

Equal rights without equal responsibilities are only entitlement. This isn't true just for women, it's true for everyone. If you want freedom of speech for yourself you have the responsibility to respect the freedom of speech of others, that's why the "punch the nazis!" crowd are illiberal bastards with no ethics beyond their deranged ideology, and yes, just as authoritarian as the nazis. If you want the right to vote you have the responsibility to accept the result of legitimate elections. If you want to have the right to a fair a legal system you need presumption of innocence for everyone, not just for you when you're under trial for your crimes and not for people on trial for other crimes (yes, including rape, sexual assault and other sex crimes, my dear deranged SJWs).

Wait, Canada is "founded on slavery"?! From the wiki:

By 1800 the other provinces of British North America had effectively limited slavery through court decisions requiring the strictest proof of ownership, which was rarely available. In 1819, John Robinson Attorney General of Upper Canada declared that by residing in Canada, black residents were set free, and that Canadian courts would protect their freedom.

Note that Canada wasn't even formally Confederated until 1867, and didn't achieve full autonomy until around 1931.

Oh, right. Natives are the true Canadians, so they must mean all the slaves the Natives kept.

Slave-owning people of what became Canada were, for example, the fishing societies, such as the Yurok, that lived along the Pacific coast from Alaska to California, on what is sometimes described as the Northwest Coast. Many of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast, such as the Haida and Tlingit, were traditionally known as fierce warriors and slave-traders, raiding as far as California. Slavery was hereditary, the slaves being prisoners of war and their descendants were slaves. Some tribes in British Columbia continued to segregate and ostracize the descendants of slaves as late as the 1970s.

Among some Pacific Northwest tribes about a quarter of the population were slaves. One slave narrative was composed by an Englishman, John R. Jewitt, who had been taken alive when his ship was captured in 1802; his memoir provides a detailed look at life as a slave, and asserts that a large number were held.

DrokkIt wrote:So I just watched the The Red Pill documentary and have literally no other avenue to discuss so sharing my thoughts here:

Firstly I thought the film maker did a good job and showed the human impact of these issues. In my view she went into the project with a critical or even dismissive opinion about the people behind the MRA movement and this made the film pretty balanced by virtue of basic resistance to the ideas being presented by the interviewees.

I think it would be fair to say that this dismissive stance is probably the cultural norm. I think it would have been very easy for Cassie Jaye to have simply made a film attacking these people, and it would probably make for a much bigger commercial success. That kind of true journalistic impulse is to be lauded, especially given the current fake-news mores of the press.

It seemed fairly evident that prominent feminists were loath to be interviewed for this project, and with good reason. The few that do appear are simply given enough rope and come of pretty callous, which resonates with the personal narrative being told regarding Jaye's attempts to hold onto her feminist values in the face of what she is learning. She does a lot of work verifying all the factual and statistical points, much more than you'd get in a standard documentary about some cause.

There is a lot I don't find personally appealing about some of the men involved with this: both Paul Elam and Dean Esme usually seem deeply christian-conservative when you read their writing. Esme especially comes off very awkwardly in this; Elam acquits himself a lot better and seems more likeable.

Ultimately this film humanises these people and humanises the movement they are working on, I can see why it is being so vehemently opposed by feminist organisations. This could well change some minds or at least find a path to common ground for discussing what are very real problems. Real no matter what you think has caused them.

The circumcision stuff was very brief but I found it an exceptionally difficult scene to watch.

Those of us not near a screening can pre-order the DVD or Blu-Ray disk, and find links to the movie on iTunes and Netflix at http://theredpillmovie.com/

A rational left could have made legitimate arguments about the reality of police brutality, the negative consequences of the militarization of the police and of "tough on crime" law, the social problems of poor, disenfranchised communities and their relations with law enforcement and the justice system in general.

Instead they've made it all about race, and the entire discourse is now ruined and turned into a racially divisive contest where even leftist politicians sympathetic to SJW ideas are called "white supremacists" if they're white.

Once again identity politics have fucked up the rational discourse, congratulations Critical Race Theory! :clap:

Douglas, it sounds like you're saying that it's the responsibility of the listener whether or not to take up arms after listening to people like Yiannopoulos and Spencer. That's a fair answer. How do you then stop them from committing hate crimes? Can they even be stopped?

Apparently, you can accuse Milo of committing hate crimes on the Grauniad, but islamists are above criticism. Quelle surprise. This is how the regressive left gives away the game.

I think that it's because Bissonette's motives were and still are unclear. He hasn't written or said anything about why he shot up a mosque. He seemed to troll SJWs on facebook and be a fan of some conservative bloggers but there's no evidence that he expressed any murderous or violent intent against muslims before. Unlike, say, Brievik or the Unabomber or muslim terrorists Bissonette isn't providing the press with anything to talk about. Since he's still alive they're probably waiting to see if he says something during the trial.

#1521

Hell, even Elliot Rodgers left behind his over the top videos about his permavirgin status. Bissonette is pretty silent about any motive, which is pretty weird for a terrorist.

Thanks for the info. I actually think that this is a good approach to the complex relationship between the media and the justice system. He's in police custody and has admitted to the crime, there's no need for the public to know more than that at this point.

#1525

The Red Pill seems to be a more sympathetic (or balanced) view of the MRA / MRM movement, as opposed to the more generally accepted feminist narrative.

However, I'm wondering if it covers the 'manosphere' in general. For example most people would not have much criticism of MGTOWs in principle - but from what I've heard (which is little enough) there are 'deep rifts' between the various groups with the MGTOWs being painted as the 'bad boys'.

I've always used the word "supremacist" to refer to people who believe that a given race is superior to another. The label I use for those who want stuff for some people and not others, based only on race, is "racist asshole."

Ah. OK. I thought that "supremacist" also meant "believing that one race is deserving of a dominant or superior place in society". A quick look at the dictionary tells me this isn't the case.

Anyway I see little political and practical difference between "I believe that this race is superior to another" and "I believe that this race should get good things and this other race should get bad things".

#1530

Kirbmarc wrote:Anyway I see little political and practical difference between "I believe that this race is superior to another" and "I believe that this race should get good things and this other race should get bad things".

I have met blacks who simultaneously believe that they are inferior in several ways to both white and asians, and that they ought to be given things that white and asians shouldn't get. I have also met a few women who have the same beliefs v-a-v men. One defense of having these two views is that giving things to inferior people "levels the playing field" (and that's a direct quote). In any event, I like to keep the two sets of belief separate.

Unfortunately this is only an argument the Libertarian right are prepared to make.

Reason is far better on this than HuffPo, etc.

#1532

As the saying goes - From each according to his abilities to each according to his needs.

Some of my black co-workers used a lot less sunscreen that me when working outdoors. Any similar or other differences could be discussed and accommodated for.

The White Separatists such as Jared Taylor or Richard Spencer - do divide populations into racial groups - sometimes in a hierarchical way - for example for intelligence they class Asians & Jews higher than whites, and blacks would be lower down.

Which is a mirror image of how black separatists see things.

Both groups seem to think that people are basically tribal - so it is best to group them accordingly and so that they can relate to each other as groups. Similar to how populations of individuals are controlled in a jail environment.

He's also isolated in a special cell, he's on suicide watch. Here in quebec thing got a bit quieter after some facts became clearer, some example: he has been on anxiety and depression medications for close to 2 years if i remember correctly, he sought help for an alcool problem a couple of time, he was drunk the night of the shooting, he was not a member or a former member of any of the Quebecs extremist/white nationalist groups, some of his friends spoke out and their testimonies make it even more difficult to grasp who Alex is (yeah he was shy but he had friends contrary to what we first believe).

Lots of media are still pushing the blame on Quebec city conservative radios, although to this day, i have not seen evidences he was an avid listener or a fan of one or several of the most right wing radio host. For context, the province of Quebec is by large a progressive place and as such almost nobody here listen to conservative radio with one major exception: the Quebec City area. Also, since most media are progressive and concentrated in Montreal, there has always been a lot of hate for Quebec radios coming from the establishment. "Radios de Quebec" and "radio poubelle" are 2 popular pejorative expressions that are thrown around quite often, even by some of the most respected journalist.

Funny story.

Well, GaucheDroitistan is a Facebook group that im part of.

It all does seem a bit desparate ( at bit like remain voters trying to get a new referendum) but I was wondering was there any mileage in this? As an outsider nearly all USA politics seems insane bu it is difficult to see Trump lasting a full term if his behaviour is not modified in some way.

#1557

In short, Malky, the answer is No. Like any other president, he could be both impeached and convicted, but don't hold your breath, even if he keeps being himself. Republicans play hardball and do things like impeach people for lying about sex, but Democrats usually wimp out. (You'd have to be someone like Nixon.) So Trump would have to piss off a large number of Republicans before anything happens and many of them are enjoying the distraction at least and others are in favor of what he is doing. Rational people aren't happy with Gorsuch, but there's nothing wrong with that choice and it delighted most Republicans.
