  Hello, and welcome to HBr Talk three oh one. This is This is
• 0:04
  an upper level class, guys, how current is the current thing? I'm
• 0:11
  your host, Hannah Wallen here with nonsense annihilator Lauren Brooks and the personification of
• 0:16
  perceptivity Mike Stevenson to jump back into the history of women's studies for a final
• 0:23
  look at it's totally organic, not at all manipulated, march through the institutions
• 0:29
  of academia. I hope you guys studied for this. Do you promise that
• 0:34
  this is the final one? Yes, this is the final exam, and
• 0:41
  it's gonna be a doozy cuz, uh, we've been getting gaslighted over what's
• 0:47
  going on today in academia as if you know it's what's going on today in
• 0:53
  academia is not going on today in academia. I'm here to tell you if
• 0:59
  you think about academiah this is this is gonna be a fun show. Sorry,
• 1:07
  guys. If I squeak at you or sound bad, I am heaven
• 1:10
  in Ohio. Asthma day, I mean a bad asthma day a thing.
• 1:15
  Yeah, Like I said to Lauren before we started, at least I'm not
• 1:19
  in Pennsylvania because then I'd be having in a bad I'd be having a bad
• 1:23
  asthma day, and I'd be in the state Joe Biden came from. So
• 1:27
  I thank god you're not in New York because that the better. Yeah,
• 1:33
  I don't I don't know that it would be. Well, I I think
• 1:38
  I've pointed out before that the e PA was created to address environmental uh stupid
• 1:47
  doings in Ohio like that. That's that's a thing. So there you go.
• 1:53
  But but yeah, I can't breathe. Yeah, I'm probably going to
• 2:00
  be sniffing at you. Sorry. But with all that, before we do
• 2:04
  anything else, we gotta do what we gotta do. As always, Honey
• 2:07
  Badger Radio dishes out a smorgasboard of thought provoking discussions, and as experiences both
• 2:14
  recent and long past have demonstrated, the provoked thoughts are fighting back. They've
• 2:21
  made it clear that for people like us, relying on third party payment platforms
• 2:24
  like Patreon to fund our work is treading on thin ice or building our house
• 2:30
  in the path of a rapidly growing wildfire. In light of this, we
• 2:34
  strongly encourage our supporters to switch at least their support for us to feed the
• 2:38
  Badger dot com the most stable way to help us out, and if you
• 2:43
  want to tip us directly instead of relying on any social media platforms, tip
• 2:46
  jar. The link for that is feed the Badger dot com slash just the
• 2:51
  tip. And as always, the same risk applies to our social media platforms,
• 2:54
  which is why you should further provoke the thought police by tracking our thought
• 2:59
  provoking discussions on Honey Badger Brigade dot com, where you can find your way
• 3:04
  to all of our content, as well as a link to feed the Badger
• 3:07
  dot com in the drop down menu at the top of the page. So,
• 3:12
  now let's dive back into history where we'll learn, as we often do,
• 3:15
  that everything old is new again. Uh So we we left off last
• 3:22
  week in in this last couple of paragraphs of this This is the center column
• 3:28
  here up on the on the left. There's another column to the left of
• 3:30
  that that I'm not showing any screen. Where is the fifth column? Yeah,
• 3:36
  the fifth column? That's true. But uh, we we found out
• 3:43
  that to to get women's studies, they they consider it a mandate for women's
• 3:51
  studies. Uh, you know, in in the universities and in the upper
• 3:58
  echelons of academy that the establishment was funding them. We remember we did the
• 4:06
  earlier part of the article discover that from the beginning they were establishment funded,
• 4:15
  and from the beginning establishment media promoted them. From the beginning, they were
• 4:20
  networking and conferencing and organizing in order to spread this to every university in the
• 4:29
  country. And then we learned at the end of the show last week that
• 4:34
  their next target was the public school system and where they sponsored a conference that
• 4:43
  would deal with grades kindergarten through twelve in order to extend feminist ideology to every
• 4:50
  education level and setting. So that's the thing, and various publics s goals.
• 5:00
  By nineteen ninety two, already we're boasting gender equity officials, so administrators
• 5:10
  whose job it was to promote this idea of gender equity rather than gender equality.
• 5:19
  And remember when we talk to feminists and they talk about the difference between
• 5:25
  equity and equality, right, equality is when when you start out and there
• 5:31
  aren't any laws hindering anyone's progress. Nobody is stopped from pursuing happiness by any
• 5:42
  laws that are not there to just protect other people from from being assaulted,
• 5:47
  wrongdoing and stuff like that. But gender equity is where you say, well,
• 5:55
  these people have less of a chance of meeting their goals, so we're
• 5:59
  going to take away from these other people's chance to meet their goals in order
• 6:03
  to even things out. Yeah, equality is communism pretending not to be communism.
• 6:10
  Equity is communism, not even pretending not to be communism. Well,
• 6:15
  communism isnt equality, I would say communism is equity. No, yeah,
• 6:19
  exactly. Equality is what communists call communism before they're able to have moved the
• 6:27
  Overton window to what is actually communism. But well, yeah, equality of
• 6:35
  opportunity is is what is supposed to happen under capitalism, and communists know this,
• 6:44
  and so they use that as the stop gap between capitalism and communism.
• 6:50
  But arguably even even equality of opportunities not even possible. You should you should
• 7:00
  as an individual, you should be able to advance your opportunities by by your
• 7:05
  own means. That's see, that's why I don't even talk about equality of
• 7:11
  the opportunity because it's bullshit. Equality is equal treatment under the law. Equality
• 7:15
  is when the law doesn't discriminate, it doesn't take action against one group of
• 7:20
  people, even under the guise of helping another group of people, just on
• 7:26
  the basis of their immutable characteristics. They're demographic right. That equality. Everything
• 7:32
  else that people call equality is equity. Yeah, you can't have equality and
• 7:40
  freedom at the same time. Actually you can't. Well you can, I'm
• 7:47
  not. I'm a real stickler about this. Like the less the government does,
• 7:53
  the less authority does, the less a bigger hand does to interfere with
• 8:01
  the situation, the more likely you are to have equality. People have warped
• 8:07
  the idea of equality into something that it's not. It is not even in
• 8:13
  the playing field. It is not altering the situation in order to make things
• 8:20
  identical for people. It is not giving people things to make up for disadvantage
• 8:28
  or perceive disadvantage, or taking things away to make up for advantage or perceived
• 8:35
  advantage. It is the least possible interference in the situation, so that nobody
• 8:43
  is more interfered with than anybody else. That is equality. Anything else is
• 8:50
  not equality. It's brought about through freedom. If you want the closest approximation
• 8:56
  we can get to equality. It only comes through freedom. You cannot bring
• 9:01
  freedom about through equality as a first principle. And none of this has anything
• 9:07
  to do with equity. Nothing can exist in the presence of equity. Equity
• 9:13
  is just communism. Yeah, equity is the opposite of equality. It is
• 9:18
  an excuse for inequality. In fact, equity is basically taking a situation where
• 9:26
  one demographic is unhappy and blaming the other demographics happiness and therefore taking action against
• 9:37
  the happy demographic on behalf of the unhappy demographic. So there you go.
• 9:48
  But yeah, so various public schools. Even by nineteen ninety two and again
• 9:54
  nineteen ninety two, I had just graduated high school. That was a lo
• 10:00
  long time ago. Nineteen ninety two, we just came out of the Reagan
• 10:09
  and Bush era, Bush Senior era, and Bill Clinton became president. It
• 10:16
  was the first president who was elected despite having information brought out about him that
• 10:28
  would have previously been so scandalous that it would have prevented him from being continuing
• 10:35
  to run for office. And it's also like most of gen X was old
• 10:41
  enough to vote in that election. That the overwhelming majority I think of gen
• 10:46
  X was old enough to vote in that election, So there there were a
• 10:50
  few people. I think my younger brother is still considered gen X. He
• 10:58
  was born a couple of years after me or my younger brother I'm sorry,
• 11:01
  I'm the older sister. You could tell I'm a low on oxygen tonight.
• 11:05
  But in any case, so so there were still a few that there were
• 11:09
  not yet old enough to vote. Uh but uh but yeah, and I'm
• 11:18
  not I'm not even talking about the Lewinsky scandal at that point. I don't
• 11:20
  think that. I mean that probably would have. Also, the the Jennifer
• 11:26
  Flowers thing would have kept him from running just just a few elections earlier.
• 11:33
  But the pot smoking thing that would have that would have done it, and
• 11:37
  it didn't, right, I mean, I I don't think a president before
• 11:43
  Clinton actually was popular campaigning on on on MTV before ninety two, Like in
• 11:58
  nineteen ninety two, MTV was only ten years old. Oh my god,
• 12:05
  MTV was a fourth grader. Haha. So yeah, Paula Jones wouldn't have
• 12:13
  either, the Paula Jones thing wouldn't have would have that would have been like
• 12:18
  he wouldn't have been able to run with that. So he ran with all
• 12:22
  kinds of scandals in one right. That that's uh, he's I think he's
• 12:26
  the first president that was that that blue law type scandal ridden. Uh and
• 12:35
  and still you know, got got elected during the the twentieth century, at
• 12:41
  least maybe maybe earlier, there were rumors that got spread around about presidents and
• 12:46
  people were like, no due process, let's let's let's let's figure this out.
• 12:50
  But at the time, at the time, we were of course all
• 12:52
  listening to never Mind by Nevada and ten by Apologia. We were all getting
• 12:58
  into into into the grunge crage craze of just not giving a ship about anything
• 13:05
  and being all nihilistic about everything. And you might say the Democrat regime of
• 13:13
  Bill Clinton came about as a solution to that, but it didn't. It
• 13:16
  came about as a result of that massive abyss in the in the market of
• 13:24
  shits given, and the feminist establishment got behind him really hard, like really
• 13:33
  got behind him. The reason they got behind him so hard was because they
• 13:39
  knew that he would not tank Joe Biden's Violence Against Women Act that was being
• 13:48
  worked on because Bush Senior did He didn't he wasn't gonna even address it because
• 13:52
  we already had a law, the Family Violence Prevention Services and Prevention and Serre's
• 14:00
  this Act of nineteen eighty four. That law did everything that we were told
• 14:07
  in the early nineties that we needed the Violence Against Women Act for right that
• 14:16
  was that was already in place for ten years, and that was getting renewed
• 14:26
  periodically because it was it was part of the greater Criminal Statutes of the federal
• 14:31
  government in the United States, and all they really had to do was address
• 14:39
  increases in funding for it every every time that it came up, just like
• 14:46
  they do with everything else. They don't they don't repeal other laws, right,
• 14:50
  they just increase funding. But they treated it like it didn't exist.
• 14:54
  So in nineteen ninety two we were hearing about how there's there's just no thing
• 15:00
  being done about domestic violence in the United States, and it's just this ridiculous
• 15:05
  situation where a guy can just get away with beating his partner and nobody will
• 15:11
  do anything about it. And nobody talked about the other end of it,
• 15:16
  the majority of domestic violence being initiated by women. They only talked about it
• 15:22
  as a male perpetrated behavior, and they talked about it as if it was
• 15:28
  completely unaddressed in law and policy, even though that every state by that time
• 15:35
  had state law governing it and had had state law governing it for most of
• 15:41
  their existence as states. And then also the federal government had federal law governing
• 15:48
  it, and there was a law passed as recently as nineteen eighty four at
• 15:54
  that point that was really all encompassing. Shelters had been establish and everything,
• 16:00
  and so there was no valid reason for this promotion. And Republicans had at
• 16:10
  the very least, they were defending the Family Victims It's Family Victims Services and
• 16:18
  Prevention Act. It might be Prevention and Services and I got it reversed,
• 16:22
  but they were defending that at the very least because it was a Republican gig.
• 16:26
  They passed that. That was a Reagan thing, and so they may
• 16:32
  have been defending it just on that basis. But the Violence Against Women Act
• 16:36
  was also a lot of government overreach that didn't have anything to do with preventing
• 16:41
  violence, and we ought to We'll get into the history of how that happened
• 16:48
  another time, but that's what's going on as this is taking place that we're
• 16:53
  reading. This is the time period we are in. VAWA hasn't been pass
• 17:00
  yet, it's just being discussed, it's being promoted. It isn't even on
• 17:03
  the table in Congress yet. In fact, Biden is probably still you know,
• 17:11
  crossing his t's and dotting his eyes like he's just quite quite. This
• 17:22
  is before they attached his ear lobes back. Yeah, well he was still
• 17:27
  saying ship like we already have a nigga may we don't need a nigga president.
• 17:33
  Oh he that he was repeating that. But he did face though when
• 17:41
  Clarence Thomas was testifying in about his circumstances, when he was this is this
• 17:48
  is after after that. But uh, yeah, the the appointment of Clarence
• 17:56
  Thomas revealed a bit about jo Biden. There's this giff I have not on
• 18:02
  the computer am using right now, unfortunately, so I don't know if I
• 18:06
  can. It's it's too much trouble to move it over and show you guys.
• 18:11
  But there's this moment during the testimony where the camera pans to Biden and
• 18:18
  you can just see him narrowing his eyes and squeezing his pen, staring at
• 18:26
  this man he hates so much being being given a chance to address the allegations
• 18:33
  against him and confront the lies that were told about him, that that really
• 18:41
  he was not contemplating some kind of blood. Yeah, he was definitely not
• 18:48
  a hampy, happy camper in that moment. So that's that's the stuff.
• 18:53
  That's that is the political background for all of this. We u it had
• 19:00
  been let's see, eight seven years, seven years since I had the time
• 19:08
  I had pig shit thrown in my face by pro abortion advocates at a pro
• 19:15
  life rally. So there you go. That was so disgusting. And now
• 19:23
  you're already being overrun by wild hogs that were somehow introduced as as an invasive
• 19:32
  species. Can we even call them that? We can't call them invasive species.
• 19:37
  They are newcomer pigs. That's what's going on, the undocumented wild hogs.
• 19:47
  Oh Jesus, a newcomer there. There is a show that was on
• 19:52
  at that I think at that time actually that that that could be a reference
• 19:57
  to as well. But yeah, the American Association of University Women at that
• 20:07
  point was even offering an action guide on gender equity in the schools. So
• 20:11
  were they had plans, they had organization, they had communications, right,
• 20:19
  they were networking on this, they were doing conferences on this. So here
• 20:23
  that's where we're we're at. Miriam Chamberlain notes with joy that Geraldine R.
• 20:32
  Dodge Foundation is bankrolling women's studies programs at the high school level nineteen ninety two
• 20:40
  is when that started along with Ford. The Dodge Foundation is funding of veteran
• 20:45
  women studies. Excuse me, sorry, A paracheck that I've literally never seen
• 20:59
  that word anyway, that that's probably it is probably for the better anyway,
• 21:10
  a parent check or an apparat chick. I don't apparatic, Yeah, apparactic,
• 21:15
  I've only I've heard. I've only heard it just recently, and uh
• 21:19
  think think I have to thank Twitter for that. But I don't exactly know
• 21:25
  what the term means. Necessarily apparatus. Is it like some Greek version of
• 21:33
  apparatus? A member of the communist party. That's what it means in politics,
• 21:41
  someone who works for a government or political polity party and who always obeys
• 21:45
  orders in American English, but it's a communist, So funding veteran women studies
• 21:56
  communists who works for a government or political party and always obeys orders. I
• 22:04
  can't say I've never heard this word, because I've I read this article like
• 22:07
  thirty years ago, so but I don't remember that. Who once taught at
• 22:12
  Harvard in the University of Denver and is now Associate director of the Center for
• 22:18
  Research on Women at Wellesley, So she's been around she's a University Hoe Academia.
• 22:29
  Hoe McIntosh is founder and co director of the National Seed Seed Capital's All
• 22:36
  Caps Project on Inclusive Curriculum. SEED stands for seeking educational equity and diversity.
• 22:48
  Gosh, all we need is inclusion, and we can have diversity, inclusion
• 22:52
  and equity. Gee. Gee, guys, the history of all the fucking
• 23:00
  acronyms they've been using for communism over the years. They're not teaching this in
• 23:06
  schools. They haven't been teaching this in schools since nineteen ninety two. It's
• 23:11
  not a real thing. It's not a real thing. What are you guys
• 23:14
  talking about? It's crazy conspiracy since nineteen ninety two. It's like so like,
• 23:22
  you know, last century or something. Totally Yes. So she outlined
• 23:33
  her plans to bring the gospel of women's studies law. Sorry, that's as
• 23:38
  high as I can sing, and anybody who's heard me sing knows that to
• 23:44
  high school girls. In a nineteen ninety lecture in Brookline, Massachusetts that was
• 23:52
  captured on video, when parents anxious about feminist propagandizing in grade school began to
• 23:57
  ask what was going on. However, Superintendent Pratrition, Patricia Ruaine embargoed requests
• 24:04
  for the tape and forced concerned parents to file requests through the Freedom of Information
• 24:11
  Act. Not got anything die there, have you? So this is a
• 24:26
  a communist propagandizer who did a lecture in Brookline, Massachusetts about how to propagandize
• 24:38
  high school girls, and when parents asked to see the lecture, they hid
• 24:47
  it. You can't see it. You can't know about this. You don't
• 24:52
  have the right to know what's being taught to your children in schools. As
• 24:57
  I go fill out some paperwork, bitch, Yeah, that's every news I've
• 25:02
  never been done before. It's just suddenly started happening in the current year plus
• 25:07
  seven. It's the get the difference between progressive and conservative. And I use
• 25:19
  those words sparingly because they're both euphemisms, but progress necessarily always involves change.
• 25:29
  They're always trying to change things just for the sake of changing things, not
• 25:33
  because it will make society better, but because they've already arrived at the predetermined
• 25:38
  conclusion that if we change the way things work, everything will be better.
• 25:45
  It doesn't matter if everything was working just fine, we need to change it
• 25:48
  anyway. And so it almost as to reason that they change the name of
• 25:55
  communism constantly over and over again to just a different acronym, a different initialism
• 26:03
  for each generation of every couple of years they change it to a different uh,
• 26:11
  to a different acronym. That that pops out, that that makes people
• 26:15
  think, well, this this isn't the thing we would doing two years ago.
• 26:18
  It's the thing we're doing now. It's they don't even care because it's
• 26:22
  always about change. That's it's sort of sort of explains why when you ask
• 26:33
  people about the gender thing that that they don't particularly care that you can change
• 26:48
  men to women and women to men, but you can't change black to white
• 26:52
  and white to black again, because the thing they've always been centrally interested in
• 26:59
  is changing the the gender dynamic or the biological sex dynamic into something else,
• 27:04
  which goes to show you that the focus of their change has never been racial.
• 27:11
  It's never been class based, it's never been such stal orientation based as
• 27:17
  in gay, straight, whatever, or that's always been adjacent to it.
• 27:21
  It's that they've always been interested in changing male and female, which which which
• 27:30
  it's goes to show you whenever you press these people on it. If if
• 27:36
  someone wants to claim they're a woman, if a man wants to claim he's
• 27:40
  a woman, they'll just go, oh, yeah, totally definitely, that
• 27:44
  makes perfect sense. And then when then when you ask them, so can
• 27:47
  someone who's white change themselves into black? They go, no, No,
• 27:53
  that's not a spectrum, even though it literally is a spec race literally is
• 28:00
  a spectrum, and not just between two points, but between between the various
• 28:06
  points of Europe and Africa and Asia. They just go, no, that's
• 28:10
  that's that's that's not a spectrum. You could have various different great grandparents of
• 28:15
  various different races, but that doesn't change anything. You're always either white or
• 28:22
  non light. But gender, on the other hand, which is which is
• 28:26
  just this bullshit made up where they use for biological sex. Oh yeah,
• 28:30
  that that can be changed at all times. And because that's what they want
• 28:34
  to change. And this is what I'm saying, Stop getting distracted by all
• 28:41
  this racial nonsense and all this gay nonsense and all this trans nonsense. This
• 28:47
  is what this. They've always been interested in change for the sake of change,
• 28:52
  and the central pillar of the change they want to exact is between men
• 28:57
  and women. They they want to change men to women and women to men.
• 29:02
  And there's always been the case, and you have to wonder where exactly
• 29:07
  was the pivotal point in this was it perhaps at some point when a duplicitous
• 29:11
  but somewhat charismatic leader led the charge by saying change. How many people have
• 29:22
  forgotten this by now? Do you remember a certain president who led the charge
• 29:29
  by saying hope and change? And you weren't allowed to challenge it because if
• 29:34
  because he was black, you're racist if you ask what hope and change means.
• 29:45
  So the lady that we are talking about here, Macintosh, somebody pointed
• 29:53
  out, she's the abominable woman who came up with the idea of white privilege,
• 29:59
  and that is true. And she's she had a thing she wrote prior
• 30:08
  to when this article came out, called Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack, and it
• 30:21
  I see where it was originally published, See if I can find that out
• 30:26
  Peace and Freedom magazine. Which so something to understand about communists is when they
• 30:33
  name something, they name it to sound like the opposite of what it really
• 30:40
  is, because they want to trick you into accepting it. So she this
• 30:48
  is published. This was published by the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom
• 30:56
  out of Pennsylvania, and you can, you can actually get a copy of
• 31:06
  it, I think free now they like hand this stuff out like candy.
• 31:11
  But it's it's essentially it's essentially a diatribe on how when you're born as a
• 31:25
  white person. She believes that you're born with a set of advantages automatically just
• 31:36
  because you are white, that nobody else in the world has accept white people.
• 31:44
  And and then at the same time, because you don't like you try
• 31:49
  to protect those privileges as a population, and because you don't necessarily recognize that
• 31:59
  they are proven leges and not inalienable rights, that you teach your kids racism
• 32:07
  as they are growing up, and they learn racism, racist attitudes, and
• 32:14
  racist behaviors. So essentially, for instance, the expectation that people people will
• 32:22
  base their interactions with each other on on merit and good, good intentions,
• 32:31
  goodwill, and things like that, the expectation that people will not be malicious
• 32:37
  and do malicious things on which law and policy and social norms are based.
• 32:45
  It gets she gets. She attacks that over and over again in a variety
• 32:50
  of ways in her writing, and she has done that historically. She's essentially
• 32:57
  stereotyping non white people as naturally unethical and naturally lazy and naturally not as smart,
• 33:08
  and then treating valuing ethical behavior, valuing ingenuity and diligence and other non
• 33:21
  lazy qualities, and and and valuing intelligence as a form of prejudice. So
• 33:27
  she's she's racist because as none of what she's written is true, like intelligence
• 33:32
  is not racial, uh, and it's there may be cultural things that can
• 33:38
  influence it. There may be life circumstances that can influence you know, your
• 33:45
  development of it, and so on, but it's not a guarantee that because
• 33:51
  somebody is from one race or another that they're going to be smarter or dumber
• 33:55
  than other people who are of a different race. You can there's no guarantees
• 34:01
  based on race, like nothing is guaranteed. We have a movie making fun
• 34:07
  of that that came out in the eighties where the main character used tanning pills
• 34:17
  to achieve essentially blackface, and of course he busts all the stereotypes at his
• 34:22
  university, and then when it's revealed that he's white, everybody starts, oh,
• 34:30
  no wonder, no wonder. But it really the movie existed. It
• 34:35
  was called soul Man. Yes, Sir Trevier, that's correct, and the
• 34:37
  movie existed to ridicule the stereotyping and the like all. There were all these
• 34:43
  stereotypes in the movie that were just like thrown in there and Lamb based it
• 34:49
  and so on, and I think people never really got what that was about,
• 34:54
  so they instead like, it's kind of been memory hold. But but
• 35:02
  yeah, it was with Tim Curry from Saturday Night Live, right, that
• 35:07
  was what that was with with the black guys named Tim Curry, right that
• 35:13
  the comedian Mmmm, I think so. But there was a there was a
• 35:20
  Mark Curry who was Tim Curry's Curry, Mark Curry, Tim Curry's English.
• 35:28
  Yeah, he was in the Harry Picture Showy. He was well. Mark
• 35:36
  Curry had had his own sitcom at some point. My favorite Tim it was
• 35:45
  it's Tim Meadows that I'm thinking of. Tim Meadows. Okay, now you're
• 35:47
  right, You're right, Tim Meadows is the right guy. I'm like,
• 35:51
  that doesn't that doesn't. Yeah, but yeah, no, Tim Curry.
• 35:54
  My favorite Tim Curry movie has to be Clue. I just he was fabulous,
• 36:00
  which version all of all of them, every single one? I will
• 36:05
  watch every Yeah, yeah, I will go through and watch every ending.
• 36:09
  No one, No one's done of a movie like that, since they did
• 36:13
  several different endings that were shown in several different theaters. Yeah, people they're
• 36:20
  like, this person did it. No, o, this person did it.
• 36:22
  That's not what they showed in my theater. But yeah, uh it
• 36:30
  was. It was just it was something that you could do back in the
• 36:34
  eighties. You could you could lampoon bad behavior back in the eighties and people
• 36:39
  would recognize that you were making fun of the bad behavior. Today people are
• 36:45
  like, oh my god, they're promoting this behavior. Yeah, that's why
• 36:50
  everybody's laughing at it, right, That's why everybody's making fun of it,
• 36:53
  right, Like, that's why it's the butt of the joke, because you're
• 36:57
  promoting it. No, nowadays, there's no such thing as behavior. There's
• 37:02
  just bad races and good races, and bad genders and good genders. Yeah,
• 37:08
  yep, oh thanks Macintosh. But and and and it does kind of
• 37:16
  trace back to her because all the arguments that doing bad things becomes okay if
• 37:23
  you have historical disadvantage kind of traced back to this concept of privilege. So,
• 37:32
  in her quest for gender fair and gender explicit curricula, Macintosh attacks something
• 37:40
  she calls vertical thinking, which to me the progressive stack would sound like vertical
• 37:50
  thinking. But let's see what what this is about. The vertical system,
• 37:54
  she says, represents exact thinking, or decisiveness or mastery of some thing,
• 38:00
  or being able to make an argument. Asking a child to answer simple mathematical
• 38:07
  problems correctly is an example of vertical thinking in addition to being pedagogically crazy.
• 38:16
  So essentially, the question of whether two plus two is four goes back at
• 38:24
  least beyond nineteen ninety two. That example didn't, I mean, obviously it
• 38:32
  came out of the nineteen eighty four the book nineteen eighty four, not the
• 38:37
  year. But they were already trying to justify the government, the party,
• 38:46
  the state, the powers that be, the authorities, demanding that you ignore
• 38:53
  objective reality in favor of this postmodern idea that it might not be real,
• 39:01
  it might not be true, it might be insane for people to have to
• 39:06
  be expected to understand observable reality. It seems like a reimagining of the difference
• 39:13
  between literal and lateral. Thing like literal thinking is things like mathematics, as
• 39:17
  in what is two plus two? And then there's this idea of riddles,
• 39:27
  like things like a pear tree has eighty branches and twenty sub branches per branch,
• 39:40
  and five sub sub branches per brunch. How many plums does it produce?
• 39:46
  And you're supposed to figure out that it's known because pear trees don't produce
• 39:52
  plums. There's all sorts of examples of lateral thinking puzzles like that, And
• 39:58
  that's not a good example, well, because so many of them are it's
• 40:02
  difficult to figure out the answer to because it's it's just a case of what
• 40:08
  am I thinking? Yeah, you have to hone in on a particular part
• 40:15
  of the description to figure out what's going on, and and and in many
• 40:22
  of such examples you can you can think of a way out of the answer,
• 40:27
  but it's not the right answer because you weren't thinking what the questioner was
• 40:30
  thinking. And though though it works in humorous lateral puzzles, that's just for
• 40:40
  the sake of parlor games and sort of checks like that, it's not supposed
• 40:45
  to work in mathematics. Some things are supposed to be objective, and they
• 40:51
  very much include mathematics. Yeah, if you don't want the building you're into
• 40:57
  collapse, mathematics needs to be objective. Yeah, And these things were always
• 41:04
  supposed to be separated. But yeah, we're looking at the early nineties,
• 41:09
  at the seeds that the developed, that developed the poison ivy that has now
• 41:19
  grown into our general culture. At this point, two plus two doesn't even
• 41:28
  equal four anymore. You're supposed to think of that laterally as well, well,
• 41:31
  it could equal four. But when you think that to point five plus
• 41:36
  two point five, which you could round down to two in each case,
• 41:42
  can equal five, even though you might think it would equal four and four.
• 41:49
  The weirdest argument I got is if people had different words for two,
• 41:53
  that that means two plus two no longer equals four because they have a different
• 42:00
  for four as well. And you know, I had to explain to somebody
• 42:04
  that the numbers and the addition are not about the words, they're about the
• 42:10
  quantity. And I've had arguments with people about this that are really bizarre.
• 42:15
  Like, so, let's let's take a story problem. All right. You're
• 42:21
  in a disaster. You're in a part of the country that is below sea
• 42:28
  level. The water has risen above sea level everywhere around you, and it's
• 42:34
  about to spill over the the topography that sort of protects the little valley that
• 42:40
  you're in, and there's one way out through this cavernous area that is already
• 42:47
  filled with water, and water is already coming and it's rising around everybody,
• 42:52
  and so you're all going to have to have oxygen tanks and oxygen masks and
• 43:00
  so on. And there's twenty of you ready, and there's another like eighteen
• 43:07
  people coming in, So you need to know how many oxygen tanks you need.
• 43:14
  Is it still okay for math to be subjective at that point or do
• 43:20
  you want to make sure everybody gets an oxygen tank? And that usually gets
• 43:25
  me blocked, like who do you leave out? Who doesn't get the oxygen
• 43:31
  tank? If you decide mass is subjective and you come up with a different
• 43:36
  number than the actual total number of people, the quantity of people who need
• 43:43
  oxygen tanks real simple, but unfortunately you know people people actually get upset if
• 43:52
  you prove to them that there are times when objective reality is objective and you
• 43:59
  have to deal with it as objective reality and not pretend with thought exercises that
• 44:07
  you can negate it with words. The argument is often there's no sich thing
• 44:15
  as objective, and even in the in the deepest excesses of even mathematics,
• 44:22
  you could say that even in two plus two plus four isn't entirely provable because
• 44:29
  because all we have is a finite number of results, and any finite number
• 44:35
  of results can't produce an infinitely objective result. But this is why we differentiate
• 44:43
  mathematics from science, because mathematics is the region in which we can develop the
• 44:50
  closest possible thing we have to objective, and science is a layer below that
• 44:57
  where where we where we where we can say things about the natural world that
• 45:05
  that can be determined by what has been determined by mathematics, and below science
• 45:13
  there is everything else. And it's at some point you can't split hairs anymore.
• 45:20
  At some point you have to say, well, this is why when
• 45:24
  when when you walk off of a roof, you fall towards the ground and
• 45:30
  you fucking die, it's because we've determined that every time this has ever happened,
• 45:38
  that the subject in question has succumbed to gravity and been punched to death
• 45:44
  by gravity. Like, yeah, I know, it's happened one hundred percent
• 45:47
  of the times we've seen it happen so far, And I guess there is
• 45:52
  a possibility. Given the possibility of quantum tunneling. But at some point given
• 45:59
  in at times, someone might walk off a building and miraculously fly, But
• 46:05
  until then, like we can say that two plus two does equal four,
• 46:12
  and that you're not going to miraculously fly if you walk off the top of
• 46:15
  the building. But this, this is what we're being moved towards, And
• 46:20
  not for the sake of people flying for walking off buildings, but for the
• 46:23
  sake of women and minorities getting jobs at Boeing even though they have no fucking
• 46:30
  idea how to put a plane together. Yeah, yep. So the vertical
• 46:38
  part of the psyche, says McIntosh, is triggered by words such as excellence,
• 46:45
  accomplishment, success, achievement. They represent a hidden ethos that has made
• 46:54
  a few white males dangerous to themselves and to the rest of us, especially
• 47:00
  in a nuclear age. So it's dangerous to do things right. It's it's
• 47:07
  dangerous to make sure the bridge doesn't fall and everybody has enough oxygen tanks to
• 47:14
  get out of the valley. That's that's her conclusion. The vertical model is
• 47:20
  also a societal structure. The military, the government, the academy, the
• 47:23
  church are almost always hierarchical and again we're looking at qualifications here, experience and
• 47:37
  performance, knowledge, character, wisdom, Right, those are the things that
• 47:46
  get you moved up in in a hierarchical structure. So those are those things
• 47:55
  that are valued so that the people under you can find you to be reliable
• 48:02
  in the circumstances where they need guidance, where they need support, where they
• 48:10
  don't know what to do. Uh, and and maybe are are trying to
• 48:16
  decide whether or not to continue in that career right where they need to know
• 48:24
  what the structure of the organization is, where they need to know what the
• 48:28
  rules are, or where they need to be held accountable for their decisions.
• 48:35
  You want somebody that's incompetent doing all of that. I'll tell you what.
• 48:37
  You go work in a convenience store for a few years and then come back
• 48:42
  and tell me how you feel about that. And here I thought it was
• 48:46
  just about being the biggest lobster, the rock lobster. Yes, oh,
• 48:57
  good grief. So what you're saying is and lobsters can put airplays together,
• 49:06
  and we should order our entire society around this idea. Yes, Macintosh wants
• 49:10
  to implement a curriculum that will entail lateral thinking. So now I want you
• 49:17
  guys to understand, well, when we're talking about this, because this is
• 49:21
  this is basically the take two plus two is four out of math in schools
• 49:25
  discussion that they're talking about right here. In nineteen ninety two, that discussion
• 49:30
  was being had in public, right that discussion. They were comfortable having that
• 49:37
  discussion in public, at least to the degree that it was detectable by organizations
• 49:45
  that for publications like this that would write about it. Yes, when people
• 49:51
  start asking questions, they draw back, they cover their asses, they hide,
• 49:54
  they gaslight and so on, like they're doing today. Well, look
• 50:00
  at what this is. What she's saying. Basically, what she's saying is,
• 50:06
  if you want to boil it down, when you're presented with the situation
• 50:09
  where you have to choose between one of two options, maybe you should think
• 50:14
  about choosing the wrong one. Yeah, And by nineteen ninety two, this
• 50:21
  was so entrenched in academia that they were comfortable admitting it in public. By
• 50:29
  nineteen ninety two, the thing that we are being told, oh no,
• 50:32
  that's not happening in schools today. There's nothing like that going on in schools
• 50:37
  today. That hasn't been instituted. What are you talking about. It's just
• 50:40
  an idea. You're scared of an idea that was already so entrenched in the
• 50:50
  university system and already becoming so entrenched in the public school system that they were
• 50:57
  comfortable cating for it in public. They were comfortable bragging about it, they
• 51:06
  were comfortable treating it as the norm. That is terrifying, Like all this
• 51:14
  time, people have ignored it all this time, and people think it jumped
• 51:20
  out of them, out of the closet at them and went boo like the
• 51:23
  Boogeyman during the last decade or so. Oh, everything was normal until you
• 51:31
  know, uh, twenty ten, twenty twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen. No,
• 51:37
  no, it was not. This has been going on for a long
• 51:42
  time. This is old shit. This shit is so old that it was
• 51:46
  already old in the nineties. That's old. Yeah, thirty freaking years ago.
• 51:57
  My god, Yeah, that's older than you know. It's a longer
• 52:04
  time than I've been a mom. The nineties was two years ago. You
• 52:07
  can't convince me the wise. Oh, I don't want to go back to
• 52:15
  the nineties. I was a dumb shit still in the nineties. I'll take
• 52:22
  the gas prices. Oh yeah, okay, the gas prices from the nineties.
• 52:25
  I'll take Actually, I would rather have the gas prices from the eighties.
• 52:29
  Well, yeah, yeah, I would rather have I would rather be
• 52:31
  a dumb shit and have nothing particularly bad going on in the world. Really
• 52:37
  was, That's the thing. It had been going on since before it like
• 52:40
  this shit has been worming its way into academia since before I was born.
• 52:50
  The few boomers that are in our audience might remember the start and implementation of
• 52:59
  women's stuff as a class in the sixties. Like that was. That was
• 53:07
  a new thing in the sixties. It doesn't seem that long ago. Yeah,
• 53:25
  oh, I have a couple of super chats I'm gonna or not super
• 53:30
  chats, but super chows. I'm gonna read. I'll start with Meredith G's
• 53:34
  because Meredith g gave us a big super chow. She gave us one hundred
• 53:38
  dollars, and then she gave us five dollars and said, honey for the
• 53:42
  Badgers. Spring has sprung in the South. Actually, I've been dealing with
• 53:45
  the pollen over a month, but the nose assault is exhausting, so I
• 53:49
  will probably be asleep an hour into the show. Yeah, I it's not
• 53:53
  Paullen. That's getting me because like stuff has peaked up and gone back to
• 54:00
  sleep twice now, like the crocuses have been like is it time yet?
• 54:02
  Oh? Sorry, is it time yet? Oh said, you know,
• 54:07
  like twice now and it's cold again. So it's not them. But uh,
• 54:15
  like I said, I'm in Ohio and we all know what has been
• 54:17
  going on in Ohio of late. So you know, spring happens at roughly
• 54:25
  walking speed. Yeah, you could. You could walk northwards through any given
• 54:30
  country and you could notice the various different plants sprouting as you walk northwards.
• 54:37
  Yeah. Well for me, it's it's it's this time. I don't think
• 54:42
  it's seasonal at all. It's just, you know, my my respiratory system
• 54:45
  is just currently a train wreck pun intended. The one good Man gave us
• 54:52
  five dollars and said, only just started listening to the show, so may
• 54:57
  have missed this. But why isn't it scary that the US president is in
• 55:01
  favor of denying do legal process to have the population based on the myth of
• 55:06
  the rule of thumb law. Oh it's it's It couldn't get any scarier than
• 55:10
  it is, Like that's I've been talking about that since the beginning. This
• 55:17
  is like one of the first really big, contentious person who was sort of
• 55:27
  my friend but not close stops talking to me forever. Kind of arguments that
• 55:32
  I got into in college was debating the validity of the Violence Against Women Act,
• 55:38
  and I was sure that it wouldn't pass because it was such a stupid
• 55:45
  jump in in in law and policy, and I thought that if it does
• 55:51
  pass, it's it's not gonna make that make it through the test of the
• 55:54
  courts. And you know, I mean, like I was super wrong,
• 55:59
  because it still federal law. But I can tell you how terrifying it is
• 56:05
  because I've watched several men go through ordeals that were a result of this law
• 56:14
  being passed, and it's it's horrifying, Like there are men dying because of
• 56:19
  this law. There were men committing suicide because of this law. And there
• 56:23
  are men whose lives are being wrecked. And there are children whose fathers are
• 56:27
  being taken away from them and their trajectory in life is being wrecked because of
• 56:31
  this law, because being taken away and people who did nothing wrong are being
• 56:37
  treated as if they did and there's no one in any party who's even considering
• 56:45
  repealing this law. This is among the worst things about not just democracy but
• 56:52
  government in general. They never even consider repealing laws. They just think of
• 57:00
  more laws were going on top of what's already happened. Well, and that's
• 57:06
  how I know that Republicans opposition to it back in ninety two and ninety three
• 57:13
  wasn't because they disapproved of what was in the law. It was because they
• 57:19
  were being protectionists. They were protecting the legacy of Reagan's DV law, not
• 57:25
  protesting the wrongness of Biden's antid process law, because if they if they were
• 57:32
  protesting the Biden wrongness, they never would have let this law stand. So
• 57:44
  so there you go. Yes, it is terrifying. And actually, if
• 57:46
  you look up a story, I can provide you basically with the experience of
• 57:55
  reading my response to one of the cases that I would involved. And I
• 58:00
  was actually a witness in that case, although I never had to go testify
• 58:05
  because of the behavior of the the false accuser in that case. But the
• 58:14
  title is seven Years in Hell, and it is on A Voice for Men,
• 58:21
  and my I had a pen name when I first started commenting on A
• 58:25
  Voice for Men, so I wrote as Gloria Sass. The all right,
• 58:35
  so there's a story behind Gloria Sass. Gloria Sass was obviously a crank name
• 58:45
  for you know, back in the day when you when you put fake names
• 58:52
  in the register in class so that the substitute teacher would We did this all
• 58:57
  the time because we had a boy in our class whose name was whose last
• 59:02
  name was Hunt, and his first name was Michael, and you dare not
• 59:07
  call him Mike because he would kick your ass. Uh. And it was
• 59:12
  just it was a family name. The Michael was a family name. Hunt
• 59:15
  obviously was a family name, So there was there was already a crank name
• 59:22
  in our class just by virtue of that. And uh, like I think
• 59:28
  I would have made it the kid's middle name, but you know, his
• 59:30
  mom was probably really innocent and didn't think about that. But in any case,
• 59:35
  uh, we used to call it. Yeah, we used to put
• 59:42
  you know, in the in the name register. If the sub wasn't there
• 59:46
  on time and the students were there before this, uh, you know,
• 59:50
  the name register would have been dover and Aria kidding me or are no Aria
• 59:57
  shitting me? Because there was a way to make shitting me look German,
• 1:00:02
  and we had a lot of German kids in the German heritage kids in our
• 1:00:07
  school. So yeah, we had we had some German names and Polish names
• 1:00:14
  that made all kinds of weird spelling for other people look normal. We had
• 1:00:22
  let's see, Oh, we had a bunch of them. Glorious Ass was
• 1:00:27
  one of them. So that's where I got that name originally. But I
• 1:00:31
  used to work at a pharmacy as a shift supervisor, and the pharmacy uniform
• 1:00:38
  was a polo shirt. There was a grocery store down the street that had
• 1:00:43
  a gas station that you know, you get a reward card, which is
• 1:00:46
  like taking a survey basically passively every time you use it, and your payment
• 1:00:52
  for the survey is discounts on the groceries, and the survey helps them decide
• 1:00:58
  what to put on their shelves. So if you buy the same thing over
• 1:01:01
  and over again, they're more likely to have it there for you, so
• 1:01:05
  it's not a bad thing. You can consider it a privacy violation if you
• 1:01:09
  were not told what it was for, but they're pretty open about this is
• 1:01:14
  what we're using this for. You're guiding our marketing. This is helping us
• 1:01:19
  sell you shit, and then they also use it to try to manipulate the
• 1:01:24
  customer, and they give you coupons for things that they want you to buy,
• 1:01:29
  but you don't have to do that. You can buy what you want
• 1:01:31
  and you still get the points for spending your money there, and then you
• 1:01:36
  get discount on gas. So I always got fuel at this gas station.
• 1:01:40
  It was in between my home and my workplace, and so I stopped there
• 1:01:45
  on my way home. And like I said, my uniform shirt was the
• 1:01:51
  same color as their uniform shirts. Very important thing. No, So I
• 1:01:54
  stop and you know, at the gas station, there's usually several pump stations,
• 1:02:04
  and each one will have two pumps, and from the direction you're pulling
• 1:02:07
  in, one of them is going to be in front of the other one.
• 1:02:09
  And there was already a car at the front one. So I pulled
• 1:02:12
  into the second one and I start getting fuel. And as I'm fueling up,
• 1:02:17
  and I was on empty in a big vehicle, so I'm fueling up
• 1:02:22
  for a while. This, uh, the person at the front pump pulls
• 1:02:27
  away, so it's empty, and like right after this lady and her husband
• 1:02:31
  pull up right so when she pulls up, there's nobody in front of me,
• 1:02:37
  just me, you know, pumping gas at the second pump, and
• 1:02:42
  rather than just you know, oh well this this one's empty, I'll go
• 1:02:45
  to it. She gets annoyed and she whips around me, and you can
• 1:02:49
  tell like she's when somebody drives like that in a parking lot area, you
• 1:02:54
  know, they're mad about something. Well, I thought, well, I'm
• 1:02:58
  not get involved in that, right, and I just kept doing what I
• 1:03:00
  was doing. And then she gets mad and yells at me about not pulling
• 1:03:07
  up and stopping at the first pump when the other one was open, you
• 1:03:13
  know, And I kind of explained myself. I'm like, well, there
• 1:03:15
  was somebody there when I pulled up, and so she's embarrassed. So she
• 1:03:21
  starts yelling at me about pumping gas on the job. And it took me
• 1:03:25
  a minute because like, I had just clocked out and driven away from work
• 1:03:30
  before I did this. I just got done with a shift and was on
• 1:03:32
  my way home, so I'm obviously not at work. Well, and I
• 1:03:37
  realized the name of the store that I work at isn't on the sleeve that
• 1:03:40
  is on the side that she's standing on yelling at me, and she's going
• 1:03:45
  off. I can tell you're pumping on the giant, this is your you're
• 1:03:47
  in your work shirt, and blah blah blah, which I could have just
• 1:03:51
  clocked out of work at that grocery store too, if i'd have worked there,
• 1:03:54
  but I didn't. So I finally I was like, so you're objecting
• 1:03:59
  to my shirt. She's like, yeah, she was mad. She's going
• 1:04:03
  off about it and everything. So to understand this, you need to know
• 1:04:08
  that I hate bras like I fucking hate normal bras. They're uncomfortable. I
• 1:04:14
  feel like somebody tied me up. So I don't wear those. I had
• 1:04:18
  at the time, a whole bunch of those, like sport bras that you
• 1:04:23
  see a lot of women they go jogging in those and runner tights or now
• 1:04:29
  they wear like those yoga pants and shit and just have their bar middrift hanging
• 1:04:33
  out. And it's a top and it's thick enough, like it's thicker than
• 1:04:39
  a T shirt. It's it's thicker like a polo shirt is where it gives
• 1:04:45
  you the amount of coverage. It gives you more coverage than a bathing suit,
• 1:04:48
  and so it's not really considered an undergarment, but it does function the
• 1:04:56
  same way as a bra. It does what a bra is supposed to do.
• 1:04:59
  So I just took my shirt off and threw it in the window.
• 1:05:01
  Then she got really mad, like she really lost her shit. She went
• 1:05:05
  off, yelled at me a bunch more, and then demanded she was going
• 1:05:10
  to go report me to my manager. She wanted to know my name,
• 1:05:14
  so I told her Gloria Sass and she goes running off, stumping off into
• 1:05:20
  the store to report me, presumably to the manager. And the whole time,
• 1:05:29
  this poor woman's husband, this woman's poor husband, is just like he's
• 1:05:33
  sitting there. He put his head down. You know, he didn't want
• 1:05:36
  any part of this situation. He didn't want to, you know, exacerbate
• 1:05:43
  it, make it worse or anything. But I kind of glanced over.
• 1:05:47
  You could say something about the lines of Glorious Sasses a pon my darling.
• 1:05:53
  Yeah, non, you not. He did nothing. He was just like,
• 1:06:00
  I'm just invisible here. I'm not going to draw her attention. I
• 1:06:04
  don't want to be the target of the next tirade. I feel really bad
• 1:06:09
  for him, and I'm pretty sure he was probably so hindpacked that he probably
• 1:06:14
  had scar tissue from it. And but he when when I did that.
• 1:06:18
  I took my shirt off and threw it in the cars. He just kind
• 1:06:23
  of like ducks down and you can see him the expression on his face was
• 1:06:28
  just like, oh my god, like can probably yeah, probably off.
• 1:06:36
  That would have that would have not been a good thing because at that point,
• 1:06:43
  let's see, I would have been in my thirties, and she she
• 1:06:47
  was elderly like I would put her early elderly, but she was elderly like
• 1:06:53
  she probably has uh at that point, she probably already could get an aar
• 1:07:00
  P membership at least, you know, possibly was eligible for Social Security.
• 1:07:08
  But in any case, I like and the really bad thing was like there
• 1:07:12
  were other people there, you know, so I was I'm like, all
• 1:07:16
  right, but it was summer and lots of lots of gals were running around
• 1:07:20
  like that, so I wasn't too embarrassed. But the weirdest part come back.
• 1:07:27
  I shopped at that store a lot because it was convenient on my way
• 1:07:31
  to and from work. So like, sometimes I would stop and get my
• 1:07:33
  lunch on my way to work. Sometimes I would stop and get things for
• 1:07:38
  home on the way home, you know, and so on. Right,
• 1:07:42
  so I go in in the middle of the day one day, and I
• 1:07:47
  go past the area where they have all like, there's a seasonal aisle,
• 1:07:51
  and it's wider than the other aisles because a lot of times they'll put a
• 1:07:56
  line of things down the middle of it, and there's just a mess there
• 1:08:00
  of somebody has brought a bunch of stuff to set up there and then dropped
• 1:08:03
  it off and then just left. And you can tell that it's been sitting
• 1:08:08
  there for a while. Nobody did anything with it then, and and nobody
• 1:08:13
  knows why. And so the manager is just like the person that's supposed to
• 1:08:17
  be dealing with that aisle during that shift is there, and and she's talking
• 1:08:23
  to the manager and and he's going off at her and everything, and you
• 1:08:27
  know, why what is this mess doing here? Why isn't this taken care
• 1:08:30
  of? You know what? What's going on with it? What are you
• 1:08:31
  going to do about it? And blah blah blah. It's just like I
• 1:08:34
  just clocked in. I don't know anything, you know, what's I don't
• 1:08:38
  know what's going on. I don't know how this got here. I didn't
• 1:08:42
  put it here, you know. And and pretty soon they get to the
• 1:08:45
  conclusion that nobody knows how that stuff got put there, why it was just
• 1:08:51
  left like that, and why nobody has done anything with it? And uh,
• 1:08:58
  finally they start talking about it. Oh, what must have been glorious
• 1:09:00
  ass. So I became a legend in the grocery store. They didn't know
• 1:09:06
  who I was, but they did know that some lady came in and probably
• 1:09:13
  went nuclear at management over an employee there named glorious ass who didn't exist.
• 1:09:19
  This is the issue with the Karen thing. And I don't mean our very
• 1:09:25
  own Karen. I mean I mean the meme of the Karen. It's it's
• 1:09:29
  a been a thing for a long time. People people like to deflect the
• 1:09:31
  Karen thing as though it's it's something localized to white women, although it's localized
• 1:09:40
  to a socio economic class of women. No, the problem of women being
• 1:09:47
  Karens has been a problem for fucking centuries. And it's it's really not divisible
• 1:09:56
  into any other kind of women. It's it's it's women who are determined to
• 1:10:00
  complain to whosoever to whom they can complain. It's always been a problem.
• 1:10:08
  It's a bloody good thing. You didn't talk to her about the are you
• 1:10:12
  were putting in your tars? Yeah, that's another. That's another one we're
• 1:10:18
  getting. It takes ten years for you to finally know all of anidotes.
• 1:10:31
  We're not going over all the anecdotes, but that one. Uh, that
• 1:10:34
  one I haven't told for a while. So Glorious Sass is my handle.
• 1:10:41
  But if you can't find it under glorious Ass, look under hannahwal and see.
• 1:10:47
  But that's my author name. That's like, the link to my author
• 1:10:53
  name has glorious Sass. My profile on the site was named glorious as when
• 1:11:00
  I first started. It's Gloria Sass. And of course it's partly obviously part
• 1:11:09
  of the pun is the sass, but uh and and part of the pun
• 1:11:15
  is the ass. So so there you go. But that that story is
• 1:11:19
  a horrible story. It's not funny, although it's much more interesting than this
• 1:11:26
  fucking article we're talking about. The end of the story gets funny. I
• 1:11:30
  didn't tell that part, I don't think, because it hadn't happened yet when
• 1:11:33
  I read the article. But after, after the end of the story,
• 1:11:41
  when there was no longer a reason they couldn't be in contact with each other.
• 1:11:46
  And she's just trying to navigate having to co parent she sends him an
• 1:11:56
  email about something and she's bitching about something and I can't remember what she was
• 1:12:00
  mad about, but it was just the format of the letter was bitch,
• 1:12:06
  bitch, wine, wine cajol, you know, a blame, anger,
• 1:12:12
  and then just in the middle of it, for no reason, with no
• 1:12:15
  place for it, tomato literally the word tomato. Then bitch, bitch,
• 1:12:24
  wine, can cajol, blame, threaten, angry, angry, love,
• 1:12:31
  and and then her name and I'm just like, he showed me this,
• 1:12:38
  and he's like, should I be worried? I'm going, well, she
• 1:12:45
  can't do anything, you know, But and that was it, Like she
• 1:12:51
  was she was reduced to sounding like a complete psychopathic moron concrete jungle with free
• 1:13:01
  tomatoes. I don't even know what the original lyric is. That's just always
• 1:13:08
  why I hear. Yeah, But but in any case, so it's it's
• 1:13:12
  when you read the story, just bear in mind, because it gets bad
• 1:13:15
  and it will be enraging, and it'll make you sick thinking about what this
• 1:13:20
  guy went through. But it gets better and and things are better in his
• 1:13:26
  situation now and and this all happened starting in two thousand, I want to
• 1:13:33
  say two thousand and six. So by the time Gamergate started, she was
• 1:13:44
  in tomato mode and he was he was walking away from the wreck, you
• 1:13:53
  know of what had happened up to that point. So there you go.
• 1:14:00
  But yeah, Macintosh wants to implement a curriculum that will entail lateral thinking.
• 1:14:04
  This is one of the transforming notions of women's studies, which holds that learning
• 1:14:10
  should be seen not as mastery, but as our connection with the world as
• 1:14:15
  we grow and develop as bodies in the body of the world. Like,
• 1:14:20
  could you have come up with a more stupid and complicated way of saying that,
• 1:14:26
  Good fucking grief. The object is not to win or excel, but
• 1:14:33
  to be in a decent relationship to the invisible elements of the universe, and
• 1:14:42
  the only way to win is not to play the game. So when you
• 1:14:48
  go into the classroom, do you have to speak friend and enter like this
• 1:14:54
  is a fantasy shit? Do you have to know in Elvin Menland? Yeah?
• 1:15:04
  Eh. Paul Grafton gave us five dollars and said visit camping since I
• 1:15:13
  since I spelled with an A for your outdoor gear. Oh that's an ad.
• 1:15:19
  Well we'll take that. Thank you for the five dollars invisible elements of
• 1:15:28
  the universe. So I guess the tough part here is it sounds like she's
• 1:15:39
  talking about gaining an understanding of the world around you, including your social environment.
• 1:15:49
  Right. She sounds like she's talking about taking a gaining a realistic understanding,
• 1:16:00
  taking a realistic view, being able to navigate the social environment, and
• 1:16:08
  having the tools to make the legal environment, make the social environment able and
• 1:16:15
  to be navigated right open to navigation. But that's not what's happening. What's
• 1:16:20
  happening is she's talking about substituting beliefs about the social environment and the legal environment
• 1:16:32
  for recognition of real world existence, like real world problems, real world characteristics,
• 1:16:44
  things that are true. This doesn't need This doesn't need to be taught
• 1:16:48
  to most people. Most people have an intuitive understanding this, including men.
• 1:16:54
  I know people like to stereotype men as being or test, but they're not
• 1:17:00
  the Only people who need to be taught social cues are people who are not
• 1:17:05
  not even artistic, but mildly autistic, people who are are only so slightly
• 1:17:13
  autistic that they are able to to learn things. Because people who are severely
• 1:17:19
  autistic can't learn things. That's that's their problem. But are people who are
• 1:17:27
  mildly autistic perhaps need need to be taught certain social cues about things, And
• 1:17:36
  this is being this is being told to them as though they're not going to
• 1:17:41
  learn these things just just through ordinary osmosis like like they ordinarily are. There's
• 1:17:50
  there's no effort given to to teach narcissists to learn about things that aren't learned
• 1:17:58
  through osmosis, like and mathematics and like, you know, the the empirically
• 1:18:09
  determined things like how gravity works, like how physics works, and stuff like
• 1:18:17
  this. No no effort is ever given to pointing out to narcissists, never
• 1:18:25
  mind women, that there are certain things that can be objectively measured and that
• 1:18:30
  and that's not you know, just just physics and mathematics. There are even
• 1:18:35
  certain social phenomena that can be measured in certain objective ways that I dare say
• 1:18:44
  autistics understand better than narcissists understand. There are certain things that narcissists just cannot
• 1:18:50
  get get to grips with unless they're taught it, and even then they still
• 1:18:57
  don't get to grips with it because they are equally narcissistic. They don't understand
• 1:19:02
  anything objective, they would rather replace it all with their own feelings. Like
• 1:19:09
  this, there's some people that don't understand feelings because they're more interested in facts.
• 1:19:15
  We colloquially call them artistic. And there are some people that don't understand
• 1:19:19
  facts because they're more interested in feelings. We call them, well, we
• 1:19:25
  should call them narcissists, but we don't. We call them normal people even
• 1:19:29
  though they're not normal. We mostly call them women, although they are narcissistic
• 1:19:33
  men too, but that they're they're outnumbered by narcissistic women on a grand scale.
• 1:19:41
  So you know, the really rough thing about it is we're dealing with
• 1:19:47
  a political narcissism, like a party of narcissism, politically normal, normalized,
• 1:20:00
  and they're the types of objective fact that exist, aren't limited to if a
• 1:20:08
  rock is hard and you bang it against your head, there will be pain
• 1:20:13
  and potential injury, you know, or possible pain and potential injury from this.
• 1:20:17
  It's uh, you know, if you lie over and over again and
• 1:20:25
  people know that you lied over and over again, especially about things that are
• 1:20:30
  important to them, Like it's one thing to say yes, I'm fine over
• 1:20:36
  and over again when maybe you're a little bit not fine, But but you're
• 1:20:41
  gonna be okay, and they don't need to do anything for you, and
• 1:20:44
  you don't need them to do anything for you like that. That that kind
• 1:20:47
  of lying. People can accept that right. But uh, if your your
• 1:20:54
  lie is no, I didn't sleep with that person, I was loyal to
• 1:20:59
  you, and in fact, actually you did and they find out, then
• 1:21:06
  you lose people's trust. Right. That's a reality. It's an objective reality.
• 1:21:13
  People will judge your character based on your actions and how those actions affect
• 1:21:21
  other people, and whether those actions are considered ethical, whether they're socially acceptable
• 1:21:29
  as ethical behavior. That is not negotiable. It's not something that you can
• 1:21:35
  be like, I have a right to engage in that behavior. Well,
• 1:21:40
  yes, maybe you have a right to make that decision for yourself, but
• 1:21:43
  it doesn't mean that people don't have the right to judge you for it,
• 1:21:47
  right, And it doesn't mean that people have a right there. People don't
• 1:21:50
  have a right to withhold their trust or withhold their openness to you because of
• 1:22:02
  it. People do have a right to defend themselves against things that they perceive
• 1:22:09
  to be threats of injury or threats of psychological harm, and things like that,
• 1:22:15
  by choosing not to associate with you or choosing not to make themselves vulnerable
• 1:22:18
  to you. And those are objective facts, and unfortunately, the big problem
• 1:22:26
  that narcissists have is they don't recognize those as objective facts. They consider them
• 1:22:32
  to be negotiable, and they consider themselves to be in a better position in
• 1:22:38
  the negotiations based on their beliefs about their own value and their interests. In
• 1:22:46
  their own position, they feel more entitled, So they feel entitled to mistreat
• 1:22:54
  people and then be treated as if they did not. So that's like,
• 1:23:01
  that's the biggest problem I have with narcissists. And unfortunately, like I said,
• 1:23:08
  we have a political party of narcissists that is running our education system,
• 1:23:15
  and so they feel entitled to brainwash your kids, to mistreat them, to
• 1:23:20
  mistreat you, to mistreat their greater community, and be treated as though they
• 1:23:26
  did not not just our education system, but our health system yep, our
• 1:23:33
  health system, our economic system, our process system. It's particularly because of
• 1:23:43
  the systems that are mainly populated by women, and that's namely our education system
• 1:23:48
  because most teachers are female, and mainly our health system because most nurses are
• 1:23:57
  female, and increasingly more and more, Yeah, doctors are female, and
• 1:24:02
  it certainly doesn't stop there. That's not an accident giveaway. Given the DEI
• 1:24:08
  problem. More and more industries are being forcibly populated by women and minorities.
• 1:24:15
  But that's that's the thin end of the wedge, you know what I mean.
• 1:24:19
  And in terms of the education system, it was by design, like
• 1:24:25
  women essentially me too their way into dominance of the education system, not by
• 1:24:32
  accusing male teachers of harassing female teachers, but by demonizing male teachers as potential
• 1:24:41
  threats to female students, and that that has resulted in a shortage of male
• 1:24:49
  teachers. There's a lot of male administrators, but not so many male teachers.
• 1:24:55
  And then, of course the women are complaining that it's discrimination that there
• 1:24:59
  are not enough female administrators, that most of the women in the system are
• 1:25:06
  are are in teaching positions. Well, it's because most of the teaching positions
• 1:25:12
  are filled by women. So you're always going to outnumber women in teaching positions,
• 1:25:18
  are always going to vastly outnumber women in administrative positions because there are more
• 1:25:24
  teachers than there are administrators. Can't help you if you tried to become a
• 1:25:29
  teacher as a male. Yeah, there's there's a countdown to the time you
• 1:25:35
  get accused of a certain kind of crime. Well, they just they just
• 1:25:44
  start treating you from the start like you're a threat like the women, and
• 1:25:48
  they'll they'll also exploit you as the heavy, like the individual that does discipline
• 1:25:57
  that other. You know that women just don't have the balls four And I'll
• 1:26:01
  just put it that way. And it's funny because so my mom worked at
• 1:26:11
  a school for a while where one of the teachers was a nun and she
• 1:26:16
  wouldn't paddle the students, which is funny because of the stereotype of nuns at
• 1:26:21
  Catholic schools and how abusive they were. But she'd used to tell the story
• 1:26:28
  of how one of her friends, one of her colleagues at work, was
• 1:26:33
  a male teacher, had opened his door to his classroom. This is back
• 1:26:41
  when men could teach class with their door closed without getting paranoid about it,
• 1:26:45
  to the knock by this nun and she wanted him to paddle her student.
• 1:26:53
  But that's not what she said. She asked him if he had a whacker,
• 1:26:57
  and it's like, I don't know how to answer that. It's not
• 1:27:01
  every day that you have a nun knocking on your door asking if you have
• 1:27:04
  a whacker. So there's the innocence of the sixties. The late late sixties
• 1:27:16
  put any back to my whacker is Jesus whacker? Yes, so she wants
• 1:27:27
  uh lateral thinking to be presented as central to education and made part of the
• 1:27:30
  job description. McIntosh speaks of one hundred years of change that will be required
• 1:27:35
  to usher in her lateral millennium. So, uh, one hundred years got
• 1:27:41
  real short, guys, ideological fundamentalists on a roll. Uh. The impressarios
• 1:27:50
  of women's studies have ignored opposition from serious critics of the movement, such as
• 1:27:58
  Camille Paglia or in philosopher Christina hoff Summers. Oooh foo, these women,
• 1:28:08
  we know. It's impressive that they were already within the public eye by the
• 1:28:15
  early nineties when VAWA came out as a law being well, actually it was
• 1:28:21
  before when VAWA came out as a bill clear back in eighty seven, So
• 1:28:28
  VAWA wasn't really there was no discussion of a federal law in nineteen eighty seven.
• 1:28:32
  There were other things going on. Nineteen eighty seven was when Mary Pea
• 1:28:36
  Cost published her initial quote unquote study, the survey that set off the panic
• 1:28:45
  over an epidemic of date rape on university campuses by interpreting women's answers to mean
• 1:28:56
  that they were raped, even though seventy three percent of the women she called
• 1:29:00
  rape victims didn't think that they were rape victims. They didn't agree with her
• 1:29:04
  assessment of their experiences right. And there were some There were some other professors
• 1:29:15
  besides Summers who had debunked that study, and Summers had the same objections to
• 1:29:23
  that study as those guys. They were professors, and they were canceled.
• 1:29:27
  Those the men were canceled for saying this, but Summers actually wrote it.
• 1:29:34
  Has been writing about that particular area of study of academia for quite some time.
• 1:29:43
  So a lot of people got to know her through Gamergate as Based Mom.
• 1:29:48
  But before she was Based Mom, she she did a lot of debunking
• 1:29:56
  of feminist false feminist narratives. And the only problem I have with her is
• 1:30:02
  that when she quoted the work of men who may have debunked those narratives before
• 1:30:06
  her, she didn't always give credit. And this is something that this is
• 1:30:14
  a female problem. Women accuse men of doing this all the time, like
• 1:30:18
  a lot of times women think that the ideas they have in the moment are
• 1:30:26
  their own original ideas, even if they read the idea somewhere or it's being
• 1:30:35
  commonly discussed and they're repeating it. And then the other thing that happens is
• 1:30:43
  women assume if they know something, everybody knows it. So it's one of
• 1:30:49
  two things, maybe possible. One one is that she may have internalized it,
• 1:30:56
  thinking, you know, well, yeah, this was my idea,
• 1:30:58
  And the other one is she may thought, well, everybody knows that this
• 1:31:00
  guy is the one who said these things. But it's important to make an
• 1:31:05
  effort to credit people that educated you in a particular area. It doesn't take
• 1:31:15
  away from the fact that she is an individual who goes against the grain of
• 1:31:21
  feminism very very strongly, and that she she has made those debunking facts more
• 1:31:33
  mainstream than they ever would have been if you know, they they'd been buried
• 1:31:40
  by university feminists. So yeah, when people people attribute that kind of behavior
• 1:31:48
  to like one individual or another, that's that's actually a gendered behavior that women
• 1:31:56
  accuse men of all the time. But when men do it more and I
• 1:32:01
  think women do it, they're worse about it. So but let's see.
• 1:32:12
  So Women's Studies have ignored opposition from serious critics of the movement, who see
• 1:32:18
  women's studies as obeying a perverse version of Gresham's law, in which quack scholarships
• 1:32:26
  scholarship such as Macintosh's, drives out legitimate scholarship. Such critics believe that the
• 1:32:32
  academic sisterhood is peddling prophecy, regeneration, and coercion, not pedagogy. They
• 1:32:41
  find it noteworthy that women's studies has struck up alliances with creeds such as Stalinism
• 1:32:46
  at UC Santa Cruz Betina, I don't know this woman Apthecker, true believing
• 1:32:56
  daughter of communist stalwart Herbert Appecker, and I'm probably pronouncing the name wrong or
• 1:33:03
  something, and worshipful, worshipful biographer of Angela Davis is the head of the
• 1:33:12
  Women's Studies program, while Professor Davis serves as icon in residence. Davis is
• 1:33:19
  kind of the connection between neo Marxism also known as cultural Marxism, and feminism.
• 1:33:28
  By the way, I'm one of these days I'm get to go into
• 1:33:31
  that because in the United States cultural Marxism, I think I did go into
• 1:33:42
  it in a previous show and YouTube might have memory hold it. But cultural
• 1:33:45
  Marxism and feminism sort of made their way through the institutions and evolved their way
• 1:33:51
  through the institutions separately. They didn't start out as one thing, in that
• 1:34:01
  the same people that were involved in one of them were not involved in the
• 1:34:06
  other one until Davis and she just kind of like she's she's sort of the
• 1:34:14
  crux of of their connection. So but it goes on. The feminism is
• 1:34:23
  not concerned about such criticism. Mary ellen k Peck of the National Council for
• 1:34:29
  Research on Women sees the outcry. I wonder if there's a National Council for
• 1:34:35
  Research on Men. I'm gonna say no, Yeah, probably not. Sees
• 1:34:47
  the outcry over political correctness as a and and that's what wokeism was called back
• 1:34:53
  in the day, political correctness. And there's there's I can I know that
• 1:34:58
  I wrote about this before, so we may have to do another episode on
• 1:35:01
  it, and you know, start talking about it here and then switch over
• 1:35:05
  to just just other platforms to avoid having the whole thing get memory hold.
• 1:35:16
  But as a backlash against the success of the knowledge base transformation that's actually gone
• 1:35:23
  on. So when they propagandize you. It's not that you've been lied to,
• 1:35:29
  and it's not that you're programmed right, it's the knowledge based transformation.
• 1:35:38
  Kpek knows all about PC because she is the director of an NCRW project called
• 1:35:45
  Beyond Politically Correct Reclaiming Diversity in the Curriculum, to which Ford contributed one hundred
• 1:35:53
  thousand dollars in nineteen ninety one. One hundred thousand dollars in nineteen ninety one.
• 1:36:00
  Would it paid for all four years at a private university for a bachelor's
• 1:36:05
  degree? Easy? And that's with you being in residence on campus, funding
• 1:36:14
  your books, and paying for your meals and incidentals ahead of time on campus
• 1:36:24
  like all inclusive package. You probably would have had money left over. Now.
• 1:36:30
  I don't know about the elite schools, but but I do know what
• 1:36:35
  private school cost. And that's we're talking to university. Private university. Four
• 1:36:43
  years from now, one hundred thousand dollars will pay for a hospital depending on
• 1:36:46
  who gets vote voted in next Well, you you actually can run up more
• 1:36:53
  than one hundred thousand dollars from a hospital visit now, depending on what's going
• 1:36:59
  on and what they what tests they run on you, and what treatment they
• 1:37:01
  do while you're there, especially if your visit entail surgery, even if they
• 1:37:09
  send you home, depending on what doctor they like, especially if the surgery
• 1:37:17
  requires somebody like a gastro entrologist or a neurologist or two doctors, because the
• 1:37:25
  problem spans two different systems. Uh. Yeah, a hospital visit can get
• 1:37:30
  fucking expensive. If you're if you're a legal citizen, that is, yeah,
• 1:37:34
  if you're if you're legal, and that's that's even if you have insurance,
• 1:37:41
  right, if you don't have insurance, then then there's a whole different
• 1:37:45
  story. Uh. You know, though, there is an interesting thing in
• 1:37:46
  the US. If you don't have insurance and your income is really low,
• 1:37:51
  Uh, there's there's a process by which the hospital simply eats your car costs,
• 1:38:01
  and it's it is enshrined in law. So when people say that poor
• 1:38:08
  people aren't getting medical treatment because they're poor in the United States, that is
• 1:38:12
  incorrect. Middle class people are more risk actually because their income is too high
• 1:38:20
  to qualify for that program, and their insurance is so expensive and has such
• 1:38:29
  high deductibles and copays and stuff that they can't afford to use it, so
• 1:38:34
  they can't go to the hospital because they've already spent too much on the guarantee
• 1:38:41
  that they could go to the hospital, but then they would still have to
• 1:38:45
  pay after they visit the hospital. On the other hand, in the United
• 1:38:51
  States, if your insurance company decides that you shouldn't have a particular treatment,
• 1:38:57
  you can still get it. You just have to pay out a pocket.
• 1:39:00
  You know, you have the option even if the insurance company says no.
• 1:39:08
  You would think socialists would have a problem with this. Apparently they have more
• 1:39:13
  of a problem with Ahmed wondering across the Southern bother and somehow not having all
• 1:39:21
  the benefits of a socialized healthcare system. It's so weird, isn't it.
• 1:39:27
  Well, the interesting thing. The interesting thing is you know when you when
• 1:39:32
  you enact a full socialized healthcare system, they start using killing people as a
• 1:39:40
  method of expense management. Yeah, like everybody always says, you know,
• 1:39:46
  you're that's a slippery slope argument. That's never gonna happen. Tell it to
• 1:39:51
  the maid m HM. For the sake of our YouTube overlords, we're not
• 1:39:59
  talking about that thing. We're not allowed to talk about that, that thing
• 1:40:03
  that's killing shitloads of Americans. No, we're talking about made. We're specifically
• 1:40:08
  talking about that thing that's gone on in Canada and nothing else. Don't you
• 1:40:14
  worry. Yeah, well, you know, we're we're talking about that thing
• 1:40:18
  that's openly going on in Canada. Yeah, it's it's not the only place
• 1:40:25
  that's going on. Like, there's there been stories here about the withholding of
• 1:40:32
  treatment as a means of managing costs by letting people die who could have actually
• 1:40:40
  recovered. And in the United States for about half my life. So it's
• 1:40:50
  it's not even specific to any particular illness or injury. It's just a thing
• 1:40:58
  that's been going on for a very long time. It's just this mad coincidence
• 1:41:02
  that so many people are getting so many illnesses in the last three years.
• 1:41:11
  It's just don't don't don't, don't worry about it. Shut the fuck up.
• 1:41:15
  Yeah. So, yeah, Kpek knows all about PC because she is
• 1:41:24
  the director of a NCRW project called Beyond Politically Correct Reclaiming Diversity in the Curriculum,
• 1:41:30
  to which Ford contributed one hundred thousand dollars in nineteen ninety one. The
• 1:41:33
  project says a Ford report seeks to support mainstreaming programs. You can tell this
• 1:41:40
  is a reprint from somewhere else, because they have all the dashes in from
• 1:41:44
  where it was copied from another magazine where the paragraph changed. And I'm betting
• 1:41:51
  they used a program to put the imagery around the pictures and everything called page
• 1:42:00
  Maker that did not have a spell checker to alert them that they had unnecessary
• 1:42:08
  hyphens. But yeah, by providing in depth assessment of quote PC attacks having
• 1:42:16
  fomented the revolution, the Foundation now gives money to stamp out the counter revolution.
• 1:42:24
  They seek to they seek to assess you. So this this thing that's
• 1:42:30
  been happening recently where we're getting told that the institutions of the establishment are investigating
• 1:42:41
  the non woke counterculture. That's not new either. It's just that previously you
• 1:42:49
  heard about organizations like the Ford Foundation and various banks and stuff funding private and
• 1:43:00
  investigations into the anti PC counter counterculture. You'd see like the Southern Party Law
• 1:43:10
  Center involved. You'd see you know, various organizations like the National Organization for
• 1:43:15
  Women making a big deal about it. But you didn't necessarily see government three
• 1:43:20
  letter government agencies getting involved like they are today. The reason that that's happening
• 1:43:27
  now, I think is because the people who are at those agencies today came
• 1:43:32
  up through an education system that had been dominated by this shit already for twenty
• 1:43:41
  years, and so the administrators are gen Xers and baby boomers, and the
• 1:43:47
  gen xers never had any time in an education system that didn't have this stuff
• 1:43:56
  going on in it, right, that didn't have indoctrination of the students with
• 1:44:03
  wokeness. And then you have the next generation after the gen Xers, the
• 1:44:12
  millennials, who came up through an education system in which wokeness was so normalized
• 1:44:23
  that it was treated as like almost the oxygen of the system, and anybody
• 1:44:29
  that went against it was weird and scary and threatening. So that's why we
• 1:44:38
  now have federal agencies guarding their gains and spreading the revolution at home. The
• 1:44:46
  subsidized radicals of women's studies have also set SAALE to colonize the rest of the
• 1:44:51
  world and transform it in their own image, with what they call quote global
• 1:44:57
  reach on every frontin Amberlin says, the strategy is further and further further.
• 1:45:03
  Peggy McIntosh's Seed program has already set up shop in for foreign countries, and
• 1:45:10
  that was ninety two, so it's everywhere now. Chamberlain and Bernstein say that
• 1:45:15
  the Ford Foundation, with its network of field officers, is in a strategic
• 1:45:17
  position to play an important role in the international sphere, and has already subsidized
• 1:45:23
  a number of programs. Through such initiatives. Foreign societies too well, too
• 1:45:31
  will be enlightened. They too will learn the delights of horizontal thought, the
• 1:45:38
  dangers of fallocentric discourse, and the nocean that exact thinking is quote male and
• 1:45:45
  their form align. All the pseudo scholarship and dreary agate prop of feminist gnosticism
• 1:45:53
  will be theirs. Godless trinkets and subtitled versions of We're Talking Volva, title
• 1:46:00
  of a recent video by the National Women's Studies Association will no doubt follow along
• 1:46:05
  with Urdu and Swahili translations. Is a world. According to Paula Rothenberg,
• 1:46:14
  come a long way, baby, and they're not finished yet. They literally
• 1:46:19
  just called it colonizing. Yep, I know we skipped over that to paragoscope,
• 1:46:25
  but they literally called it colonizing. Cut to thirty years later and they're
• 1:46:31
  calling it decolonizing. Are you getting it? Yeah, folks, it's only
• 1:46:40
  a set amount of time before they call the thing they're doing the opposite of
• 1:46:44
  the thing they're doing, as though we're just going to not realize that they're
• 1:46:48
  doing a thing and trying to pretend they're not doing that thing by saying they're
• 1:46:54
  doing the opposite of that thing they're doing. And sorry, I have to
• 1:47:02
  look through this fucking paragraph again because there was so much in that they admitted
• 1:47:08
  so much in these last sorry to talk about yourself. I'm fascin. The
• 1:47:13
  thing that really led me to want to share this article with everybody and discuss
• 1:47:19
  this is the fact that you know today and I mean, I guess the
• 1:47:26
  older you get, the more this is going to happen to you. You
• 1:47:29
  see something start, you know, when you're young, it starts happening,
• 1:47:34
  or it becomes public where it's been happening in secret, and now everybody knows
• 1:47:41
  about it. You see political dissent and debate taking place around it, and
• 1:47:46
  so on, and it goes on. You think, oh, this is
• 1:47:50
  going to be settled in a few years, and it goes on and on
• 1:47:55
  and on, and thirty years later, like it, it's gone through waves
• 1:48:00
  of being a little underground, a little less public, a little less in
• 1:48:05
  everybody's face, and then back to these ideas sort of gain a little popularity,
• 1:48:13
  a little mainstream acceptance, and suddenly this effort is back in everybody's face
• 1:48:24
  again, and the debate rages that, you know, all this thing that
• 1:48:30
  you're saying is going on, this conspiracy that you're accusing these people of,
• 1:48:34
  it's not real, it's not happening. It's just made up. Nobody's doing
• 1:48:40
  that. You're so paranoid, right, And that has happened. I have
• 1:48:45
  seen that discussion, You're so paranoid, this is not what's going on three
• 1:48:51
  times now, so about every ten years, they sort of pull back a
• 1:48:58
  little bit, and then they sort of reintroduce it all and it's a little
• 1:49:03
  further than it was the last time, and people object to it being a
• 1:49:09
  little further than it was the last time, and then they have that you're
• 1:49:13
  so paranoid attack that they use to shut up the critics. This is not
• 1:49:18
  a big deal. This is about politeness. This is about treating people fairly,
• 1:49:26
  you know, This is about decolonization. This is about kindness and equality,
• 1:49:33
  well, equity, not equality, because equality isn't equal now, and
• 1:49:42
  it just it gets old. So I wanted people to see this is thirty
• 1:49:47
  years ago, and thirty years ago they were comfortable talking about this shit in
• 1:49:53
  public. Thirty years ago, it was already per the entire school system,
• 1:50:01
  from kindergarten through graduating with a full doctorate. Right thirty years ago, there
• 1:50:12
  were already people saying, hey, this is a problem. And thirty years
• 1:50:15
  ago there were already there was already a response from the feminist movement, from
• 1:50:25
  the institutions that are promoting this, almost like an immune response to any resistance
• 1:50:32
  to it being imposed on the population. None of that is new, none
• 1:50:42
  of that is in any way accidental. It's not organic. It's systematic,
• 1:50:49
  institutionalized repression of society's natural evolution, a natural social evolution. And that's where
• 1:51:01
  we are today. We are looking at the latest thing, not the current
• 1:51:09
  thing, the latest incarnation of the eternal thing. So do I give you
• 1:51:18
  enough time, Mike. They're calling it narcissism. You can probably still see
• 1:51:24
  it in that in the shot we're still looking at now. I've repeated this
• 1:51:31
  a couple of times, and not just because I'm copying James Lindsay, God
• 1:51:35
  bless him. I don't agree with James on everything, but he has pushed
• 1:51:39
  this narcissism thing several times, and I've followed in his lead because I think
• 1:51:45
  he's right, and not and not because he's doing it from a christian centric
• 1:51:50
  point of view, and neither am I. Gnoscissism was originally a reaction to
• 1:51:58
  to Christianity. It's it's been it's been described as various things over the years,
• 1:52:06
  but it is. It's it's the general idea that that which is established
• 1:52:12
  religiously, particularly the Christian God, is not just wrong, but the opposite
• 1:52:17
  of of of right. It's it's that God does exist, but he is
• 1:52:24
  evil, and therefore you must take the Christian faith and and and invert it
• 1:52:30
  that that God is evil, and therefore everything Christians say is not just wrong,
• 1:52:34
  but but the opposite of right. And so everything that Christians say is
• 1:52:41
  the devil is that which you must embrace, which is I mean, I
• 1:52:48
  mean, just as open ended as everything that Christians say. More so actually,
• 1:52:54
  because the idea of Christian evil is more open ended than the idea of
• 1:52:59
  Christian good. It's that and any anything that appears to be the right thing
• 1:53:06
  to do should be the wrong thing to do. Anything appears to be the
• 1:53:10
  wrong thing to do should be the right thing to do. And all of
• 1:53:12
  this is framed through what you can see in the same paragraph there as fallow
• 1:53:17
  centric, which just means anything involving the penis, and yeah, which which
• 1:53:30
  it's going to show you. It's it's a lot more specific than what doctor
• 1:53:34
  Lindsay might call gnostic. It's it's specifically anything that favors human beings that are
• 1:53:45
  attached to those things we call fallacies. Yeah, it's it's not it's not
• 1:53:50
  just that God is is male. It's not just that we should therefore worship,
• 1:54:00
  uh an incorporeal female spirit. Is that we should worship a corporeal female
• 1:54:08
  spirit an ideology that is female shaped or I guess vagina shaped, although it's
• 1:54:15
  difficult to pin down exactly what the shape of a vagina is. But that's
• 1:54:19
  that's that's kind of the point, the fact that the female does not have
• 1:54:26
  a shape. They use the term yonic, which I think is appropriate because
• 1:54:30
  if you think of it from the perspective of the English language, which it's
• 1:54:33
  not an English word, but it sounds like yawn and uh it it may
• 1:54:40
  be mispronouncing it, but that always makes me think of a gaping hole.
• 1:54:45
  Yeah, it's it's it's it's not a recent idea that the feminine is represented
• 1:54:51
  by a whole, or that the feminine is represented by the absence that is
• 1:54:56
  filled with the presence that is, that is male. That's kind of the
• 1:55:01
  idea of yin and yang. Yeah, it's it's not it's not even a
• 1:55:06
  monotheistic thing. It dates all the way back to Hinduism and and and and
• 1:55:12
  the yin and yang that became Buddhism. That the feminine is the vast infinite
• 1:55:19
  void that is filled by the by the measurable, shapely presence that is,
• 1:55:25
  that is, the masculine, And and it all makes sense that it's it's
• 1:55:29
  not misogynistic, and it's not, Missandra, it's it's it's perfectly feasible to
• 1:55:34
  say that the duality and indeed the harmony of the void and the presence that
• 1:55:44
  fills the void is represented by the feminine and the masculine, And that all
• 1:55:48
  makes sense. It's it's it's what has led so many religions for for for
• 1:55:54
  all these times, that that that has allowed human beings to thrive on this
• 1:56:00
  for so long. But what we're looking at right here is an ideology that
• 1:56:09
  favors the endless, infinite void over anything that of anything that might fill the
• 1:56:17
  void, anything with a shape that that might fill the void. We're looking
• 1:56:23
  at a at a shapeless, indefinable thing, which much like what I was
• 1:56:30
  saying earlier, that nobody knows what shape the vagina is because it is a
• 1:56:36
  whole. And and yeah, we're the theme of this, of this whole
• 1:56:45
  response to this article is is trying to push back on this, on this
• 1:56:53
  shapeless idea that anything can be anything that it doesn't matter. It's just what
• 1:57:01
  women and their advocates say is whatever reality is, and that's the nature of
• 1:57:08
  a whole. It is. There is no shape, there is no accent,
• 1:57:14
  there is no anything. There is only whatever we who are in charge
• 1:57:21
  of the whole say exists, which doesn't matter because all that exists is the
• 1:57:28
  whole. And it's becoming increasingly difficult in this rant to even say what that
• 1:57:33
  means, because that's the nature of the whole. Nothing exists. The only
• 1:57:39
  thing that anyone should pay attention to is the abyss, the abyss in which
• 1:57:45
  one stares. And it doesn't even matter when the abyss stares back, because
• 1:57:50
  by that time it's too late. You've already said into the abyss, and
• 1:57:55
  the abyss is far more powerful than the than the firmament that might stare into
• 1:58:03
  it. I've lost everything I was saying. I think I might have said
• 1:58:09
  something spiritually important just now, but I've forgotten what it was. Well,
• 1:58:13
  among other things. I mean, you pretty much laid out, you know,
• 1:58:17
  the way that feminism is fundamentally about hating men, because it's fundamentally about
• 1:58:27
  hating structure, and structure is essentially a masculine thing. Women. Women will
• 1:58:33
  try to pretend that they provide men with structure, but that's not true.
• 1:58:40
  It's the other way around, and women often resent the structure that men provide,
• 1:58:47
  and so they come out with this shit. So I guess the only
• 1:58:54
  other thing I will say is that if you want to know what happens when
• 1:58:58
  you put something into the voice, ask princess but her to feminopia, it
• 1:59:03
  causes earthquakes. Uh. In any case, that is the end of our
• 1:59:12
  article. We do have another rumble. Rant Nova Fan twenty one gave us
• 1:59:21
  two dollars and said it's frustrating when people were pro second wave feminists now act
• 1:59:27
  surprised when they say it's suddenly a problem. No, there were signs,
• 1:59:30
  but the propaganda machine called the criticism far right, and yeah, uh,
• 1:59:35
  they've been doing that all my life. There is no such thing as left
• 1:59:43
  wing and right wing. To these people, there is center, right wing
• 1:59:47
  and far right. There is no left because everything that we would call left
• 1:59:54
  wing is reasonable to them. So h so yeah, they're they're pretty much
• 2:00:02
  unable to assess themselves or the situation. Remember that vagina sculpture le dug into
• 2:00:13
  the ground in Salt Marya. Yes, Richard Beer, Oh my god.
• 2:00:15
  Uh well, you know, technically every bottomless pit is a vagina sculpture.
• 2:00:21
  Right, Let's see if we got any more, super child Nope, So
• 2:00:29
  that is it. We are done. So thanks everybody for sticking out this.
• 2:00:32
  I know it's a dry history lesson, and I know I did a
• 2:00:35
  lot of talking about things that are not necessarily part of the article but sort
• 2:00:40
  of trying to provide context. But I also like, we've got listeners of
• 2:00:45
  all ages from like I've been contacted by some listeners who are still in high
• 2:00:50
  school all the way up to uh listeners who have great grandchildren. And you
• 2:01:00
  know, my grandkid is great, but he's not a great grandkid. He's
• 2:01:03
  a grandkid. So people older than me, so there's like I'm trying to
• 2:01:09
  provide context for the younger set and remind the older set because they were here
• 2:01:14
  for a lot of this stuff. And it does sort of need to be
• 2:01:19
  done because we are being talked to online today and on television and news media
• 2:01:27
  and so on as though the last ten years is somehow isolated from the rest
• 2:01:34
  of history, and it's not. It is a continuation of the events that
• 2:01:40
  began taking place many years ago. And so there you go. But thanks
• 2:01:47
  everybody for listening. Thanks to my two co hosts for sticking out the three
• 2:01:53
  episode along Sausage in which we discussed this article. We're not stopping with the
• 2:02:00
  history lessons next next week we are going to go back to the the current
• 2:02:08
  year minus eight hundred, yes, where we're actually going back to the thirteenth
• 2:02:17
  century. So long Women's History month ever, Yeah, the longest women's history
• 2:02:25
  month ever. Next week we're going to talk about the evolution of voting rights.
• 2:02:30
  We do have to talk about a one thing that technically isn't about voting
• 2:02:38
  rights in order to understand the evolution of voting rights, because and we're not
• 2:02:45
  talking about the worldwide evolution of voting rights. We're talking about the almost worldwide
• 2:02:49
  evolution of voting rights in areas touched by you know, show us on the
• 2:02:57
  globe where Great Britain touched you bye by British common law, because uh that
• 2:03:04
  that's actually a much bigger portion of the world than people think. And so
• 2:03:12
  yeah, that that'll be that'll be a fun journey as well, and it'll
• 2:03:15
  probably take us out of Women's History Month and we will probably have to continue
• 2:03:19
  talking about it next month a little bit because there's a lot so we'll probably
• 2:03:27
  have two shows or more come out of that. But it's important to understand
• 2:03:30
  it because the myth that voting rights are somehow completely divorced from the obligation that
• 2:03:40
  men face to back up their their national unity and their their rights as human
• 2:03:51
  beings with their own blood. It that that myth needs to die, and
• 2:03:58
  we're going to kill it. We're gonna sacrifice it on the bloody altar of
• 2:04:02
  academia. So if you want to watch the blood bath, come back next
• 2:04:08
  week and listen. I'm I'm going to be going over I'm writing stuff.
• 2:04:18
  This isn't something that I can just pick an article. I'm having to do
• 2:04:21
  almost like a research report on this so it's going to be raw, it's
• 2:04:27
  not going to be like video form, and it's not gonna look like an
• 2:04:30
  article very much either. I mean it is kinda but in any case,
• 2:04:34
  we'll go through it and we'll have as much fun as we can with it,
• 2:04:40
  and we'll we'll you know, we'll do it feminists have been telling us
• 2:04:44
  to do all along. We'll educate ourselves. So if we told you just
• 2:04:50
  to read this article, you wouldn't have had any fun. Folks, consider
• 2:04:56
  how much fun you've had from us into this article to you with our commentary.
• 2:05:02
  You wouldn't have gotten the context either, not just how much fun we've
• 2:05:06
  turned this fucking nightmare into. That's what That's what we're here for. Folks.
• 2:05:14
  Yep, that is true. That is what we're here for. And
• 2:05:16
