I'll give them credit for at least taking on the subject. But it's no news here that women are oriented toward safety and men toward taking risks.
In general, I think it's laudable to replace the male instinct for violence, war, and a misplaced sense of "honor" with something else.
The problem you run into is the "throwing the baby out with the bathwater" syndrome. As we drift toward the safety-based, "non-confrontational" proclivities of the female, we lose a firm sense of right and wrong. We blur lines that shouldn't be blurred. We become adept at being a collaborator with, and apologist for, dodgy people and causes. (Note how women seem completely powerless in the face of men-posing-as-women who compete in their sports.)
Somewhere there is a happy medium between going to war and doing a complete belly-roll to evil. With men marginalized, it's true there could be fewer overt hot wars. That's not necessarily a bad thing. But a man being slowly smothered in quicksand has bigger problems than war. The "soft totalitarianism" of feminism will simply grease the skids, and build the support structure, for a harder totalitarianism.
And only rational men understand this. These facts will tend to evade the emotional-based, more irrational nature of women. They are too immediate, not strategic, in their thinking.

Oh my god. That photo at the top of the page. I mean, if you're going to go "trans-gender" then get the trans part right. At least try to look like a woman. But this is a dude all the way. Why even bother with some stupid label?
Anyone who speaks like this should be forcibly removed to a desert island. But you get what that means, ladies? It means you rank a distant second (if not more) to the weirdos, otherwise known as the "transgendered."
Given that tons of under-qualified (or unqualified) women have taken the places of men in jobs, you're not going to find me sympathetic. Either fight or cave. Take your pick. But I'll just crack a soda and watch the fireworks and shout "You go girl." And, frankly, you won't know which side I'm rooting for.

The other day I was at our local butch shop to purchase some quality ribeye steaks. The man in front of me had a sausage he had purchased the day before and was returning it. The butcher was, reasonably reluctant to give credit and the conversation went like this.
Man, "half of this sausage is great it is tasty and has lots of texture, but the other Half is terrible."
Butcher, "why do you think one is different than the other, it is all one sausage?"
Man, "like I said this half is great, the other half taste like sawdust."
Butcher, "the reason it tastes like sawdust is because it is sawdust"
Man, "sawdust! Why would you sell a sausage that is half sawdust?"
Butcher, "As you know times are tough, the supply chain is broken, inflation is over 7%, there are democrats ruining the country and no one can make bout ends meet"
I haven't had need to tell this joke since Carter left office. I reprise it today in homage to Joe Biden who has achieved in one year more devastation to America than the previous 45 presidents before him.

If what this guy writes is correct, this country is royally screwed. No Asians I know actually give a damn about race, sex or pronouns. They might try to use one of these to their advantage, but in general, they don't care how you feel or what you truly think about things. If you need comfort or support go to your mother. The snowflakes are melting as they fall from Never-Never Land to the cruel world on which most of us live. I still think the CCP has a lot to do with the incredible spread of this insanity. Boo hoo

I processed the above through Microsoft's new woke checker and got this:
"Paul is dead."
I don't think that's working right.

I can gain some satisfaction from this self-torture amongst the woke. They deserve each other. We don't deserve them. But they very much do deserve each other.

At times I wonder if I'm over-stating the case against Progressives. If anything, I'm way too lenient.

This piece reinforces my contention that it is useless to try and reason with Progressives. They are unable to reason except from their neediness and emotions. Too many operate under the proposition that "I am unhappy, so everyone else should be unhappy with me." They don't appear to be interested in relieving themselves of this burden. Trying to understand the nature of their misery, and its origins, takes self analysis and honesty. Neither are in great supply among Progressives.
As such, they should be given no quarter. If they try to impose their insane agenda on you, fight back. If they start spouting their morbid ideas give them no ground. Attack, attack, attack. (Hat tip to Marshal Foch.)

One of the most powerful take-aways from that article was this:
So, yeah. Reasoning with Progressives, as you say, is near useless. But it also should be said that you really don't want to be anywhere near these doom-and-gloomers, whether one could reason with them or not.
In relation to the above, this was a brilliant insight as well:
As you all know, that is Cult 101.

I agree 100%, but they have a way of turning up in one's live regardless how assiduously one tries to avoid them. They are like athlete's food. No matter how hard one tries to get rid of it, it keeps coming back.

Please don't ask me to accept any more "transforming." Hell, even hated those cartoon movies.

Over the last two years or so, one regularly sees TV/internet commercials for Peleton. I never understood the attraction of a $1,500+ stationary bike with a computer screen on front. I asked myself, "Who needs some virtual trainer exhorting you to pedal on, pretending to give a damn about your exercise routine?" But clearly some people need some external stimulus to get them to carry on. Then I saw that the computer screen character cost something like $30-$40 per month extra. One must really be desperate, or have too much money, to pay that type of fee. Then I noticed that the bloody stock had a market value of over $44 billion. I could not believe that and double checked. How could a new exercise bicycle company, coming out of nowhere, be valued at such a level? I mentioned this to my wife and she merely said that "there were a lot of stupid people who were willing to pay crazy prices for basic equipment. It did something for their self esteem." I had to agree with her, but said I didn't see how the situation could last. Well, I feel my sanity has been reaffirmed. Peleton
