Glenn Greenwald is a Rape Apologist

 Regarding the rape apologist victim-blaming Cornell U takes: popping up all over the internet:

Women have a right to be anywhere a man can be after dark or any other time.  That's the meaning of "free country."  We can wear whatever the fuck we please--if you don't like it, take your ass to Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan.  We have every right to consume alcoholic drinks like men do starting at age 21 and to consume cannabis or other drugs where they're legal.  None of these things implies sexual interest or consent to have sex with you.  Being blackout drunk (and naked) is not consent because giving consent is literally impossible in that situation.  Walking on our hands naked and clapping our ass cheeks in your face with the words "WET ASS PUSSY" painted on our faces ≠ consent to have sexual intercourse.  The only thing that counts as consent is an enthusiastic YES to questions such as "do you want to go all the way?" or "mind if I touch you here?".  

The bullshit argument that the appearance or behavior of the victim is the core cause of rape is just that:  bullshit.  If that's the case, explain why women in Middle Eastern countries where everything but the eyes and ankles are covered still get sexually assaulted.  Why elderly and mentally handicapped people in care homes fall victim to sexual predators... why women in correctional facilities in prison jumpsuits are raped by guards & trans-identified men.  Why BABIES IN DIAPERS & children in elementary schools are raped and assaulted all over the face of this planet every minute of every hour of every godforsaken day.  Even animals aren't safe around men.  

Men more likely to get raped in the military than in prison.  

If rape was the fault of the victim and not the rapist, why do so many men in the U.S. military and U.S. prisons end up on the receiving end of rape by other men?  Were they "asking for it," or is that just us?  For a country that so often emphasizes personal accountability and "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" philosophy, it's stunning how quickly the blame shifts to the victim in cases of rape/sexual assault.  No other violent crime draws a similar amount of "did it even really happen?" debate--not robbery, physical assault, carjacking, shootings/stabbings or anything else.  Even though these crimes often happen in dark corners or private places and there's no "physical evidence" beyond the victim's claims and injuries, which they could've inflicted themselves. In theory.

I'm not suggesting we start hounding other victims of violent crime.  I'm bringing attention to the hypocrisy of rape apologists who will tie themselves into knots to avoid putting the blame and consequences where they belong:  on the perpetrators.  The "devil's advocates" who try to muddy the issue by making it about how much both parties drank or how many sex partners the victim had or anything other than the issue at hand.  Being drunk or high does not give you a license to commit rape.  If you routinely feel the urge to sexually assault someone when under the influence, it's incumbent upon YOU to stop ingesting drugs/alcohol.    





Et Tu, Glenn Greenwald?

This clown just exposed himself.

Of all the shitty takes on this situation by random nobodies on the interwebs, it was that of Glenn Greenwald that shocked and sickened me most.  For the uninitiated, Greenwald is a gay journalist who's worked for Salon.com, The Intercept & The Guardian.  His political views lean heavily toward the Civil Rights/anti-establishment end of the spectrum.  So to see him trying to refute a post stating that "choosing to have a drink is not consent"--which should go without fucking saying in 2026--was more than a little disappointing.  It was stomach-turning and should be career ending since his career involves posing as a Civil Rights proponent. 

From Greenwald's X.com account.

He assumes it was consensual sex--that a severely intoxicated lone woman CONSENTED to a gangbang by a bunch of rowdy frat boys.  I don't know what gay men do when they let their hair down, but that's not the norm for women. The possibility of physical injury, unwanted pregnancy, STDs and reputational damage is so great that almost no woman would willingly consent to such a thing.  He continues:

Yes, because race is totally relevant here.  

After hyperfocusing on the intoxication level of everyone involved, he introduces RACE as another red herring, suggesting that people are just jumping on this accusation train because the accused are non-white.  Talk about a fucking reach.  These were all privileged frat boys at one of the nation's oldest, most prestigious colleges. What happened to that class consciousness you were always droning on about on Jimmy Dore's show?  Suddenly you wanna pull out the divisive identity politics to bolster your bullshit argument when it's convenient to you? 

People who try to cloud the issue like this only do so for one reason:  they have no actual argument.  It's just like the OJ supporters who made his double murder about "race" and Rodney King and everything but the actual crime and his history of violence.  You're projecting your own biases and hatred onto a case that has nothing to do with you, in this case, your hatred of women.

It honestly makes me question whether Greenwald is a 3-letter disinfo agent because those are some masterful distraction tactics.  If you fall for this, you're a fucking idiot.  The U.S. has practically decriminalized rape and sexual assault, as evidenced by the pathetically short sentences or entire lack of them handed out across the board (see: Jesse Butler, Robert H. Richards IV, Brock Turner, Roman Polanski & Christopher Belter).  Many of the aforementioned were found guilty or confessed to the crimes in court, yet still spent not one day in prison.  The very fact that so many rape cases are fought in civil court due to statute of limitations, rape kit backlogs and maltreatment by police proves this violent crime is not being treated as such.  Whether the victim is a woman or child, they can expect to be put on trial alongside the perpetrator. 

Sane, humane procedures in New Zealand

This isn't how it's done everywhere.  New Zealand allows judges to intervene if attorneys ask questions meant to humiliate, intimidate or shame the victim for unrelated past choices/behaviors.  Accusers are granted lifelong anonymity in the media and can choose to testify from behind a screen in another room or via pre-recorded video statement if they wish.  




Personal Accountability for Individual Choices

Blame Shifting: An American Pastime

Like men tell women when debating abortion, "sex has consequences".   If men are so terrified of false accusations, it would behoove them to avoid sleeping with total strangers they neither know nor trust.  Strangers who are drunk or high and could well "regret" it the next day.  Perhaps THEY should stop getting falling down drunk around these alleged predatory women who make up 2% of all sexual assault cases.  They should also consider that they're statistically more likely to be raped by another man than to face a false accusation by a woman.  So all of this bleating about false accusations is disproportionate to the actual reality. 

If you're not a rapist yourself but frequently side with accused men in cases like the Cornell University case, ask yourself why.  Is it because you actually believe it didn't happen, or are you just afraid to stand up to terrible men?  Do you disbelieve all statistics, or just ones you don't like personally?  Do you believe men are entitled to force sex on women, whether via physical force, threats/intimidation, taking advantage when they're unconscious or simply not taking 'no' for an answer?  Do you realize you're siding with oppressive evil forces like the men on Epstein Island and that your words hurt real survivors who read your comments?  

Time to bring the "report it to their employers" energy to rape apologists like Glenn Greenwald.  Their shitty opinions might not be a crime, but they should be held accountable for them.  Screenshot when you see something and send it over to the offender's employers.  I'll be contacting The Intercept shortly.

If this article gets put behind a censorwall I'm gonna be so pissed.  All opinions posted here are just that--opinions.  If you don't like them, do better.

[Cannabis Review] - Lucky Elk: White Runtz THCa Everyday Indoor Smalls (7g)

Thanks to the impending ban on "intoxicating hemp" products by Donald Gay Trump, I'm reviewing another THCa hemp strain for you lovely folks after just stocking up on 2 strains from 2 other vendors last month.  I swear I don't indulge this often IRL but I'm making up for lost time, as I didn't know THCa weed was a thing until it was nearly too late.  So here we are.  Also, be sure to check out my 1st kratom review in ages right here.

I ordered 7g of Lucky Elk's White Runtz Everyday Smalls (Indoor) on September 5th (a Saturday) and received the order Monday, Sept 14th.   My total was $44 + $6 shipping until I logged in, which gave me a 20% discount for Labor Day!  Sweet.  So it ended up being $41 including USPS Ground Advantage shipping.  (There was a brief payment issue for which I was asked to send payment again--I checked my bank account and it had indeed been refunded so no issue there.  Gladly resent it but it did add some time onto the handling). 





White Runtz


The White Runtz (top shelf buds) were sold out, as were all of the other bargain options of this strain, so it appears pretty popular.  There are 235 reviews of it on the site, of which the star breakdown looks like this:

White Runtz reviews on LuckyElk.com

White Runtz (31.74% THCa) is a cross between Gelato and Zkittlez, the latter being one of my all-time favorite strains.   It's a balanced 50/50 hybrid with a tropical aroma and an uplifting but mellow high.  Right up my alley.  I've been searching for that original giddy, non-sedating Zkittlez high ever since that 14g bag from the dispo ran out a couple of years back, but I've yet to find anything that comes close, whether sourced from professionals or homegrown.  Medical dispensaries in my area are known to mislabel shit as rare & exotic strains to increase sales, so who even knows if it was really Zkittlez or something else entirely.  Meh. 

Super stealthy high-end packaging!  Puffin' like a sir.  🧐

Everyday Smalls

Everyday Smalls

Lucky Elk's Everyday Smalls are indoor grown with organic ingredients and no pesticides, which is cool if true.  They also have "Premium Indoor Smalls" which cost $5-$10 more.  The site says these are machine trimmed with some hand trimming for precision, plus a water removal process that leaves behind only the good stuff.  I'm not familiar enough with all that to comment, as I've only trimmed by hand and don't use fancy drying gadgets.  Is it some kind of oven or drying rack that dehydrates the buds to dry/cure faster than hanging and jarring would?  Likely, as it seems like they've been a tad hurried through that last step.  (Not unusual for this industry in my limited experience).

This strain also won a "Leafly Award," but I can't seem to track down what that means in this context.  Which award, what year and for what specifically?  (Another question I have is whether "regular" strains and THCa strains are listed separately on sites like Leafly, since everyone claims it's "all weed" and the only difference is delta-9 content.  Do THCa strains come exclusively from cannabis stock (I.e. "Alaskan Thunderfuck x Chocolate Thai"), cannabis crossed with CBD/hemp plants (Alaskan Thunderfuck x Suver Haze) or something else entirely?  Is this just pot that's harvested super early to keep delta-9 levels down?

Not a question for Lucky Elk but something that's been on my mind lately.  🤔







The Actual Damned Review

In the bag vs. on a plate

Anyhow, the White Elk packaging was stealthy & WELL covered in the legal sense.  Don't wanna give away too much about the packaging, but it was very professional & helps explain the higher cost of their top-shelf buds.  My 7g of "smalls" smelled before I even ripped open the inner package--loud, pungent, skunky and just bold af overall!  I have a hard time detecting vanilla, cream or soft sweetness, but I suppose once you get past the knock-out weed smell, you can kinda catch a whiff of it in the background.  The buds themselves are small--among the smallest I've seen.  They almost resemble dog food kibbles when dumped out on a plate or bowl. 🐕‍🦺   Pretty blend of colors though, with a mix of lime green, sunset pink and pastel purple. 

While the bag came with a moisture pack, the buds are still pretty dry and turn to dust when ground.  None of that affects their quality or flavor though--the high is magnificent and much less tweaky than the Pineapple Express in my current rotation.  It's similar to the Bolo Runtz but also different... and slightly more "up" in the mood department.  While I haven't tried Gelato, I've sampled one of its parents (Sunset Sherbert) and found it to be one of the best pain relieving strains around... incredibly "melty" and relaxing in the muscle department.  

In short (yeah, right) I think I like the Lucky Elk strain best of the 3 I ordered this time around in the effects department, which is to me the only real metric that counts with weed.  Give your fugly, your unmanicured, your strange-smelling masses yearning to be smoked.  As long as they get my mind right and aren't full of toxic added crap, you won't hear any grumbling from me!  Let the "connoisseurs" have the dessert weed that tastes like a 7-layer parfait with chocolate sprinkles.  If it packs no psychoactive punch, what good is it?  It'd be like choosing Grape flavored Children's Dimetapp over a high dose of Dilaudid or OxyContin because it tastes better.  True, this strain is named after candy, but the creator clearly didn't overlook anything in the effects department so my review is as follows:

Price:  4.8 of 5 stars
Packaging/Stealth:  5 of 5 stars
Shipping Time:  4.6 of 5 stars
Effects:  4.9 of 5 stars
Aroma:  4.8 of 5 stars
Overall:  4.9 of 5 stars

Redefining "Violence" in America

 

The United States' definition of "violence" is in desperate need of upgrading.  We're trained to view certain acts, such as shooting someone dead in the street or beating a woman or child to death as "murder" while tolerating or even rewarding other acts that directly result in death.  Mass death, even.  Drug dealers caught with $70 of crack cocaine in their pocket are given harsh sentences while the Sackler family of Purdue Pharma fame, which engineered the opioid crisis with their claims of "non-addictive" OxyContin, get nothing more than a fine.  Said opioid crisis is the 2nd most deadly disaster of any kind in U.S. history right after COVID and before AIDS, yet nobody sits in prison for it.

Until we start treating the psychopathic businessman in the fancy suit (B. Thompson) just like the guy who shoots a psychotic businessman in the street (L. Mangione) as equals in the justice system, we're not a free or equal society.  If anything, the businessman who kills for the sake of greed and power is MORE evil than the guy who takes him out.  Slanging dope is slanging dope whether you're a pharma rep in fancy attire or a Crip on the corner.   Murder is considered THEE cardinal sin, yet we reward soldiers who kill men/women/children overseas in war zones with special medals and titles.  Cops and ICE agents who kill are viewed as valiant heroes protecting themselves even when the person they killed was unarmed, but women & children who kill their abusers in self-defense are locked up for 25-life.  

Violence of any kind is never good, but it's the language the powerful are most fluent in.  The only difference is how we view and treat perpetrators.

Jesus vs. The Bible

It's no big secret that Biblical times were scary. REAL scary. Being stoned to death for working on the Sabbath?  Cutting off your hand for stealing?  CRUCIFIXION IN GENERAL?  So it's no surprise the Bible is full of jarring content, but I've always found it interesting how little of that vengeful, angry stuff came from Christ's own mouth. Here are some examples:

“All that first opens the womb is mine, all your male livestock, the firstborn of cow and sheep.  The firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb, or if you will not redeem it you shall break its neck. All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem. "  --- Exodus 34:19

"Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known a man by sleeping with him. But all the young girls who have not known a man by sleeping with him, keep alive for yourselves." --- Numbers 31:17

“Any of the Israelites or of the aliens who reside in Israel who give any of their offspring to Molech shall be put to death; the people of the land shall stone them to death.  I myself will set my face against them and will cut them off from the people, because they have given of their offspring to Molech, defiling my sanctuary and profaning my holy name." --- Leviticus 20

"Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, so that we may preserve offspring through our father." - (Lot's daughters) --- Genesis 19:32

"Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear and sincerity of heart, just as you would honor Christ." --- Ephesians 6:5

“Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property." --- Exodus 21 : 20-21

"And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one of the flesh of his friend in the slege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them." --- Jeremiah 19:9

Yikes. That's a whole lot of senseless slavery promoting, cannibalism, incest & murder. Now, the quotes from the man after whom the religion is named, Jesus Christ:

"My house shall be called the house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves."

Translation:  Stop charging people money for prayers and blessings, you greedy crooks.

“Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. "

Translation:  The world is full of evil so watch out for snakes but don't become like them. Maintain a kind and pure heart always.

"If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell."

Translation: Take responsibility for your own thoughts, words & actions instead of projecting blame. Better to man up and accept your earthly consequences than risk eternity in Hell (or endless reincarnation cycles, or whatever your perception of eternal suffering looks like).

And my favorite:

"As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

“Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.”

“Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.” Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth. Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!”

The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

Translation:  I am not holy & do not wish to be worshiped.  Follow the Commandments & treat my life as an example to follow.  If you're serious about entering Heaven, prove it: go sell all your possessions and follow me into the desert to find the true meaning of life.  (The man was not, in fact, serious and sulked about the answer he got instead). Annoyed, Jesus turned to the crowd and bluntly stated, with great emphasis: "How hard it is for a rich man to enter God's kingdom! *Crickets.*  The stunned and confused onlookers apparently thought this was a rhetorical question, so Jesus answered himself: "Harder than pushing a camel through the eye of a needle, that's how hard. In other words, it ain't happening.  Oy vey!"

Jesus vs. "The Bible"

These dudes = not Jesus or God

You see how clear Jesus was when he spoke? How he emphasized personal accountability instead of blame-shifting and DARVO tactics? How his only goal in life was to love, help people & commune directly with the Divine without all the churches and temples and rituals of the day? He wanted to be an example to follow, not an idol to worship. He bravely called out greed and hypocrisy wherever he saw it, and he paid dearly with his life.

This raises the question: How much of what's in the Bible would Jesus have actually approved of? Why isn't there an account of direct quotes and philosophies from Jesus himself instead of this mish-mash of views from John, Mark, Paul, Ringo and the rest of them? Could it be because they wanted to suppress Christ's actual message--that religious institutions are greedy con men--and promote their own agenda? You know, the same reasons they took his life in the first place?

2,000 years later we still haven't grasped the meaning of it and are worse off in every way. Greed & wealth inequality, self-serving narcissistic behavior, destruction of the 1 planet that sustains life in the galaxy, entire lives wasted chasing money and power and fleeting sensation and doing it all while wearing crosses and calling ourselves Christians.  And the dutiful morons clamor for the Lord's return as if they have a VIP pass into Heaven. 

All I know is that you better HOPE Jesus doesn't return in your lifetime because He's not likely to be in a good mood when He sees this mess up close.  🌍🔥🤴🏻🤳🏻💰🧎🏻

Jesus and God:  contradictory figures representing opposing value systems  

Proof Men are Insane Pt. 2: Down the "Dating Advice" Rabbit Hole

 

Refers to women as "bitches" and "critters" on a monetized Youtube channel.

LOL.



I... no, it's too easy.

Another dry erase king here to tell you what womenfolk really want.

[Seinfeld voice]:  "What's the deal with work-averse men and their dry erase boards in the algorithm?"

The douchenozzles in the screenshots above run "dating advice" channels aimed at educating other Romeos-in-training looking to score with "critters," as the specimen in the first photo refers to women.  Classy.  Tips include gems like "How to Pass Her Shit Tests" and "never downplay your Sexual Market Value".  These pieces of hot flaming dog doo ADVICE are passed off as "female nature secrets" that are guaranteed to help you score big with that giggedy gorgeous dimepiece you've been salivating over.  Already in a relationship?  Suck it up, buttercup!  Fidelity is for SIMPS!  Everybody knows women don't respect men in relationships anyway.  Once they know they have you, they're already looking for some other poor sap to break.

That's just a sample of the type of "advice" you can expect from these channels.  All of these men are selling something on the side, be it a book, a class... grey-market steroids at the local gay gym (kidding... I think).  I won't be giving their names lest I contribute to their viewership but there are TONS just like them all over Youtube's free site.  Some are old school Pick-Up Artists, some are "pimps and playas", some are women (ugh), some are AI cartoons with humanish voices.  Same general idea.  Just type in "dating advice for men" or "dating habits," "dating secrets" or "dating tips for guys" and prepare to be horrified at the absolute state of the modern male.






Oh, the Irony

PUA Julien Blanc lectures his devout herd

While these fellas treat women like naive children who need to be led, their whole scheme is actually dependent on mindless male lemmings buying what they're selling.  The entire setup is just one dude preaching at an audience of silent, wide-eyed men paying to learn how to make small talk and master basic social skills.  That's it.  No 2-way interaction or deeper discussions where they learn from each other or even ask questions.  Just one guy lecturing at a bunch of of adult men as they listen obediently, not realizing it's all the same basic advice reworded and packaged slightly differently. The comment sections are a sight to behold: 

(Click to enlarge)

So you want a house-slave who can't leave?  What a catch!

Yes, get your passport and don't come back.

This is the same con run by the Tate brothers, two abusive pimps currently on trial for human trafficking and other horrors.  Their "empire" is built on the backs of these trafficked women but also on their male subscribers, who pay to learn the tricks of the trade... the sex trade.  You see, this idiot made the fundamental mistake of shitting where he ate, bragging openly about crimes he was still actively committing.  There are tons of ex-pimps with Youtube channels, books and the like, but they don't actively traffic women anymore.  You have to pick a lane, numbnuts.  Still, his devout cult remains loyal, showing up recently to [checks notes] do push-ups in a parking lot to show their support.  

Totally rational, heterosexual behavior guys. 






"Too Masculine"

L😆L source?

The accusation that we "want to be men" is catshit crazy.  Sure, if by "being men" you mean being treated with the same dignity and respect as men, being paid the same for the same work, viewed as worthy individuals with unique talents/goals/personalities/intellects like men are viewed, then yes... we want to be "men".  It must be nice to have full agency over your reproductive system and not have to choose between slavery to your spouse or slavery to a corporation that overworks/underpays you for your basic survival.  So I admit, YOU GOT US THERE.  

What I find troubling is that so many men openly long for the days when women were forced into marriage via financial servitude with no choice in whether to stay or go.  The fact that they literally don't care whether we love, like, fear or despise them as long as dinner's on the table and the house is clean is frankly horrifying.  As long as they don't have to exert any effort to keep us, that's what counts.  While few men would publicly admit to thinking of chattel slavery as positive, most find it perfectly acceptable to keep one house slave to do all the child-rearin' and unpaid labor:  his wife.  And that's what it is when you are forced to work your life away for no pay and can't leave--slavery.  Not love, marriage or matrimony.  Indentured servitude... slavery.  Survival. 

I can hear all the men saying "But she's getting a free house, nice clothes, all her bills paid!"  So were the African slaves in colonial America.  They had a place to sleep, food to eat, clothes to wear.  Some were even taught to read and allowed to live INSIDE the master's house with the family.  But they weren't paid for their work and had no agency over their bodies or their lives.  Many were raped, beaten or killed and NONE had any power in politics or society.  The fact that SOME slave owners were decent to their slaves does not excuse the practice, just as the fact that some men are decent to their partners.  Nobody's health and safety should depend on whether the oppressor they encounter decides to show them mercy. 

Every free adult person should have full control over their bodies and lives regardless of race, sex, disability religion or political affiliation; the fact that I even have to say this is beyond depressing.  We call ourselves the freest country on Earth while wealth inequality is at an all-time high and we incarcerate more of our population than any nation on the planet.  Billionaires literally own our politicians and the media we rely on for information about the society in which we live, yet the myth of "equality and justice for all" is still repeated by every patriotic racist, misogynist and homophobe from the chilly coast of Attu Island, Alaska to the balmy banks of Key West, Florida.  Stockholm Syndrome is a bitch.   

We've still got a lot of work to do in the way of equal rights and justice, but we've come a long way since the 1950s.  If men had their way, they'd undo all that progress--many would opt to turn this place into a Christian version of Afghanistan under the Taliban.  Liberal men are no better, promoting "sex workers' rights" and the right of men to take over women's sports, prisons, rape crisis centers, bathrooms, changing rooms and more simply because they claim to "feel like a woman," whatever tf that means.  All under the guise of feminism.  To all of this, I say:

👏👏🏿👏🏼

 





Owning Your Shit

Not "perceived as," he IS dangerous.

Mental illness, emotional instability and good old fashioned evil are not restricted to any one sex/gender. The big difference is that women are far more likely to seek professional help and take accountability for their mental health on the whole than men, who would rather take down everyone in their orbit than talk to a therapist or try medication.  But if you say that, they try to flip it back on you and blame the way they were told to "man up" and hide their feelings when they were 8 or something.  Never mind that it's overwhelmingly other MEN and boys who perpetuate that mindset.  But because they often lack the courage to confront other men--be it their abusive father, their boss or the schoolyard bully--they take it out on the women around them.  

You picked the wrong one today.

I've personally watched several male family members choose the dark path & succumb to their mental illnesses rather than take accountability and seek help.  Some have died as a result and a couple more are perilously close as I write this.  It's beyond heartbreaking and frustrating watching the slow motion trainwreck coming and being powerless to stop it.  Meanwhile their sisters with the same issues, same genes and opportunities survived because they weren't coddled/enabled all their lives and did what was necessary to manage their mental health. 

This isn't even almost unique to my family:  The white male suicide epidemic is real; ditto the "deaths of despair" issue which includes suicide, liver failure due to alcoholism & drug overdose deaths disproportionately affecting men in America.  This is true across races and affects men from the wealthy white suburbs of the Northeast to the inner cities of the Midwest to the rural dregs of the Southwest.  Factors like poverty and unemployment play a major role, but there's no denying that men as a whole have always been reluctant to admit they need help and then consistently seek it out compared to women.

This comes down to ego and lack of accountability--the tendency to blame others for their misfortunes and circumstances instead of accepting them as they are and getting on with it.  Men also seem more likely to reject treatment for physical ailments like high blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes, as if taking medication makes them "weak".  Some simply think they know more than the medical professionals trained to treat them or believe they're invincible.  Whatever the thinking, it's toxic and needs to be addressed because it's killing men at a startling rate.

So let me be the first to remind you in case you haven't heard it lately, fellas:  you're not owed a damned thing in this life.  Not a fast car, not a fancy house, not a college scholarship, a big promotion, a closet full of name-brand clothes and jewelry, and especially not a female companion to tend to all these things and do your bidding.  I don't know who promised you this when you were younger, but they lied to you.  In fact, every loved one who let your bad behavior slide or made you feel like a miniature king compared to your female siblings/cousins growing up did you a huge disservice.  They failed to prepare you for adulthood by giving you false expectations about how real life works.  Even if your actual family was horrible and abusive, you still received these messages through media and pop culture which can have a huge impact on the developing psyche.  I know because girls received the same messages and have to work at deconstructing them constantly.  

But you still have a choice in the matter.  You can choose, right now, this very minute, to take responsibility for your own happiness and peace.  To stop blaming others and start doing the inner work to live up to your potential.  Not in the hopes of securing more money or sex or clout, but simply because you deserve it and can do better.  Look at where your life is lacking and ask what YOU can do to improve it, whether it's getting certified in some special skill for work, losing 30 lbs, reducing your blood pressure by 20 points, improving your conversational skills or going to therapy, name it and claim it.  Set a short- and long-term deadline to make it specific and then get to work. 

 Or you can choose to keep blaming liberalism, feminism, socialism, woke-ism and every other "ism" for your misery and watch your life go nowhere.  Objects in motion stay in motion/objects at rest stay at rest and all that jazz.  Misery loves company so there's no shortage of like-minded insufferable dudes to connect with online if nothing else (MGTOW, Red Pillers, incels, the whole of 4Chan, etc).  Maybe that's enough to sustain you into old age.  But if the goal is actually turning your life around and being happy, it's a dead end up ahead.  

(If you're one of the few decent men who stands up to trash like this and quietly challenges the toxic ideas he's been fed all his life, this isn't for you.  You'll presumably be as horrified by the things in these articles as I am).

Proof Men are Insane: Part One

Ladies and not-so-gentlemen, I present to you:  the Sexual Market Value Calculator.  No, this is not tongue-in-cheek or satire.  You choose your sex and from there, you enter things like your income, mental health markers, weight/height, ethnicity, education and--if you're a woman--a whole host of extra physical traits like "waist-hip ratio" and "breast size"--to find out how much you're worth to the opposite sex.  I laughed out loud at my results, which read in part as follows:

I know where I'm going on my next vacation.  (The red & yellow zones!)    

"Better than 61.6% of women. " Take that, women!

"Therapy, meds, time".   Because that's worked wonders so far.   🙄

Thanks a lot South Asian men!

Seriously, I don't recommend using this thing unless you're either so gay you WANT men to reject you or your self-esteem is so solid you don't mind being ripped to shreds by a faux-scientific tool like this (honestly, "peer-reviewed data"?)   Because big yikes.  There's truly nothing to be gained from it except a simmering rage.  At men and whoever raised them to be this entitled and emotionally destitute.  At the self-hating women who uphold this absurd hierarchy of oppression by "going along to get along".  At the capitalistic worldview that treats invaluable things as commodities.  At E V E R Y T H I N G .  

I think 20 year old me would've spiraled into a 2-week depression after being called a "6.5," but [current age] me sees this for what it is:  a half-baked, sloppy attempt to keep women firmly in their "place" by ranking us according to superficial things like age, subjective beauty and disability level, all of which we have no control over.  But more than that, it tells us a little too much about what men really think of us as human beings (and by extension, about their warped values). 

You see ladies, the Sexual Market Value Calculator is not about your worth but theirs.  It's a window offering us a glimpse inside the minds of all those "nice guys" you meet on Tinder whose niceness mysteriously fades when you want to keep things platonic... the guy friend who seems almost giddy when you're struggling with relationship problems and a tad dejected when you're happy and thriving.  The 20-something Andrew Tate-obsessed incel who spends 2 hours a day in the gym and 16 hours a day on 4-Chan... the 74 year old "harmless" Miami retiree in a Speedo who spends his days drinking and "just complimenting pretty girls on the beach, officer, I swear"...

In case you still aren't seeing it:  MEN ARE NOT OKAY.  They do not see you as a friend or an equal or a human being on their level and nothing you do is going to change that.  

The very term "sexual market value" is pure nonsense outside of prostitution, which is apparently how men view dating and relationships:  as a transactional capitalist game where one's worth is determined entirely by superficial traits like a man's wealth and a woman's beauty.  This is already a raw deal for women who are considered "over the hill" at 30, but even that low bar isn't being cleared by men these days in many hetero relationships...  

I've seen so many jobless men try and "trap" women by knocking them up and then talking them into keeping the baby while they're hormonal and vulnerable, promising them the world only to pull the rug out once the kid is born.  He moves in and expects to be waited on hand and foot like a manchild, doesn't help with the baby OR hold a steady job.  The baby becomes a pawn to control the mother and her purse strings.  The few fathers who are employed nearly always expect their working wives to come home and do 90-100% of the housework and childrearing too.  I've even seen a few shameless aspiring pimps going the Andrew Tate route, "encouraging" their girlfriends to strip, sell themselves on OnlyFans or IRL as an escort/prostitute while they play Xbox and "goon" all day.  (No names, but you definitely know who tf you are).   

And I'm supposed to care that there's a "male loneliness epidemic" when you rate my worth as a human based on the appearance of my body parts... parts you would likely force me to sell if you could?  Excuse me while I laugh until I choke, throw up in my mouth a little and keep right on laughing, choking and vomiting until the sun explodes and swallows the Earth. 🌞💥🌏

The Male Mindset:  Nature AND Nurture

Objectification in action, Exhibit Y(ikes)

Of course I got my education about how men really view us when I was just 12 and stealing my dad's porno mags, which gave me priceless insight into how men think.  All the content was written and photographed by men, which meant even something I'd normally find hot (like a lesbian sex scene featuring two gorgeous women) could be made repulsive and offensive with the sickening word choice and tone.  I knew then that I never wanted to be naked in front of a man in a sexual setting, lest I feel like a gazelle standing in front of a hungry lion on the Savannah.  (It wasn't until a few years later that I actually became that gazelle, which only further cemented what I already suspected to be true).  You never know what men are thinking, but you can be sure it's degrading and often predatory or violent--a far cry from the flowery romance novels, soap operas and fanfics of women's fantasies.

As much as I don't want to believe in the "male brain/female brain" thing, it's impossible not to notice the glaring differences in the way we experience basic human emotions like love, lust, passion, disappointment and anger.  Some of this can be blamed on social conditioning, but not all of it.  Sex hormones like progesterone, estrogen, DHT, DHEA and testosterone really DO have a measurable effect on mood, thinking and personality--denying that is courting pseudoscience.  The fact that men are so much more likely to be serial killers, gang rapists, terrorists and family annihilators who do things like dismembering their pregnant partners is proof this is a biological difference.  (Some of those crimes are 100% male). 

But when you realize that they're already mentally dismembering us by rating our individual body parts from 1-10 and objectifying us at every turn, you start to understand that murder is not an aberration but the extreme end of a very long spectrum--an almost logical conclusion to the twisted fantasies they harbor and normalize via porn, advertising, movies, etc.  

Case in point:  the vagina bagels.  🥯

Strong/independent = undesirable.  So is "settling down."  Young/naive = prime quality.

For any dudefolk who may be reading this, the image above is NOT how vaginas work.  Whether you sleep with the same dick 100 times or 100 dicks 1 time apiece, it has the same effect on your anatomy:  a negligible one.  The vaginal canal can accommodate a full-term human baby, which DOES cause stretching and laxity (but generally nothing like the bagel picture above).  Most sex toys are far larger than actual human penises... or at least I think they are.  Most are too big for me anyway, yet I've never met or heard of a woman who was experiencing prolapse due to dildo or vibrator use.  Not one.

Now sexually transmitted diseases are a different story.   A higher lifetime body count increases your risk even when using protection, as not all STDs can be prevented with barriers (HPV, herpes & other skin-to-skin diseases).  And women tend to contract STDs more easily from men than the other way around due to anatomy & the mechanics of PIV sex.  Still, protected sex with 50 men would be safer than unprotected sex with a cheating husband, so it's all relative to your situation.  Point being, none of it will "stretch out" or loosen your vag (but bearing & birthing some man's big-headed baby likely will).

...another day, another reason I'm SO glad to be gay.  🏳‍🌈  Imagine granting someone access to the most intimate part of your body when they don't have the slightest clue how it works and only value it based on how it makes THEM feel.  Straight women, you're in my prayers.  Part 2 coming soon.
