“If you continue to listen to the video, you’ll hear Alpert attack “therapy culture,” which pathologizes everything, giving people labels that make them believe that they have a diagnosis. “

If you have a mental issue, the best way to make it worse is to go see a shrink.

You also get addicted to the weekly sessions.

“The bottom line is that these are unhappy, maladjusted people, especially unhappy women, who need the therapy of stupid costumes, mean signs, damaging beliefs (pro-Hamas, open borders, hating Trump, believing in transgenderism) to validate their lives and explain away their unhappiness. “

I wonder what percentage of these women live alone and have no man in their lives.

“The problem, of course, is biology. Women are more emotional. That part of our brains is bigger and needs to be to stimulate maternal nurturing. But leftist women have taken that emotionalism and applied it to politics. They are the living embodiment of Carol Hanisch’s 1969 essay entitled “The Personal Is Political.” This idea has taken over the Democrat party, which is largely powered by female madness (as Helen Andrews masterfully pointed out). “

The number one reason why the 19th wasn’t such a good idea.

And these women are the first to go vote!

Here is the basis, as she admits, of her argument:

The Great Feminization
Helen Andrews, October 16, 2025
https://www.compactmag.com/article/the-great-feminization/

Excerpt:

In 2019, I read an article about Larry Summers and Harvard that changed the way I look at the world. The author, writing under the pseudonym “J. Stone,” argued that the day Larry Summers resigned as president of Harvard University marked a turning point in our culture. The entire “woke” era could be extrapolated from that moment, from the details of how Summers was cancelled and, most of all, who did the cancelling: women.

The basic facts of the Summers case were familiar to me. On January 14, 2005, at a conference on “Diversifying the Science and Engineering Workforce,” Larry Summers gave a talk that was supposed to be off the record. In it, he said that female underrepresentation in hard sciences was partly due to “different availability of aptitude at the high end” as well as taste differences between men and women “not attributable to socialization.” Some female professors in attendance were offended and sent his remarks to a reporter, in defiance of the off-the-record rule. The ensuing scandal led to a no-confidence vote by the Harvard faculty and, eventually, Summers’s resignation.

The essay argued that it wasn’t just that women had cancelled the president of Harvard; it was that they’d cancelled him in a very feminine way. They made emotional appeals rather than logical arguments. “When he started talking about innate differences in aptitude between men and women, I just couldn’t breathe because this kind of bias makes me physically ill,” said Nancy Hopkins, a biologist at MIT. Summers made a public statement clarifying his remarks, and then another, and then a third, with the apology more insistent each time. Experts chimed in to declare that everything Summers had said about sex differences was within the scientific mainstream. These rational appeals had no effect on the mob hysteria.

These mentally ill, post menopausal women are such that perhaps (and quite likely), abandoned their husbands, rejected all suitors, lived immorally, used drugs, taken psychotropic (mood enhancement) drugs, aborted their ‘accidental’ pregnancies, or helped others do the same, rebelled against God’s commandments, lived lives of adultery, incest, fornication, envy, jealousy and have/are experiencing the inescapable chronic and fatal depression.

70 percent of divorces today are women. Women who have a high body count, are considered “great” by feminist thought leaders. Women instigate abuse in the home as often or more often then men... but are not all physically capable to carry out their own destructive and deadly wishes.

The overall “Jezebel” zeitgeist of our last three generations is being eaten by the dogs at the gates as we speak, and soon all that will be left, is the rotting palms of their hands (their works in the earth).

I had this concept awhile back and took the time this morning to create it.

Finally, an appropriate thread in which to post it:

Hysteria indeed.

And some female prof from MIT gets the vapors from his remarks thereby proving his point (rather than her offering a logical factual rebuttal).

Very good, yes.

The thing is that many of the young women today are disqualifying themselves as wives, by their carousing and sluttish behaviour. Many of these 20 year old women will be part of the granny brigade because they never married.
