Help! I've Been Chained to A Hundred And Fifty Million Lunatics
PJ media ^ | 29 Sep 2018 | Sarah Hoyt

Sophocles is reported to have said that the male libido was like being chained to a lunatic.

I can honestly say that being a woman in twenty-first century America I have him beat cold. I have somehow been chained to over a hundred and fifty million lunatics.

Okay, not every woman is a lunatic. I even have women friends. But making friends with women is like making friends in the science fiction field. I start by assuming they will be a strange form of Marxist victim-group and look for signs they might, just might, be safe.

Then there’s a whole dance as you reveal yourself to the other as not-a-standard-woman.

At first, I thought American women had a chip on their shoulder, but I didn’t realize it was nearly this bad.

First, so you can understand where I’m coming from – because I have been told the reason I’m not hot for “feminism” is that women won the fight for me – the country I grew up gave women the vote in the seventies. Further, when I was a child, getting a private passport for a married woman was difficult, and my mom had a “family passport” which meant dad had to affidavit her every time she wanted to go to Spain to shop. Married women needed to have permission from their husbands to get a job. (Which meant many women worked under the table.) When I was in fifth and sixth grade, both of which were in mixed classes, it was assumed as a matter of course that girls couldn’t outperform boys, and when I did – routinely – the teachers acted like a wondrous thing had happened.

Women can be so dumb. We need to use our powers for Good and not for Evil.

Well, OK. Maybe a ‘little’ Evil from time to time... ;)

I really don’t have any close female friends anymore. They’ve all gone crazy!

Excellent read. Shame American women have been going down this rabbit hole for the last few decades at an alarmingly faster rate.

“but I find many women to be shrill, prone to gossip, insincere and demanding.”

Those are the ones with the Drama Gene. Plus you left out “sneaky”.

Long as it's 'evil' and not evil I heartily agree  :)

Can be a fine line tho, too easily crossed, and can be hard to get back over . . .

Because the end of this ride you guys are taking us on isn’t freedom or equality. It isn’t men cowering and trying to appease you. This ends in men deciding given women any rights at all is a bad idea. And allowing women a voice in governance is suicidal.

...

Or it ends in men inventing life like female robots, fully customizable, with a remote control and off switch.

Not necessary rise up ... just disengage and return to our roots like Tolkien’s Ents who forgot what the Ent-wives looked like.

When men are wanted, men will return.

Until then, MGTOW.

Ah yes, sneaky. On the plus side, most women I know are compassionate and when they are dedicated to a cause, they are passionate.

I would always only use my Evil Powers for Good...but don’t test me, LOL!

OK...back to College Football. Ohio V. Penn State and Ohio just had a player thrown OUT of the game!

Feminists have spent their entire history decrying the horrors of witch trials, in which the male power structure of old arbitrarily accused particular women of being witches — based on no credible evidence or witnesses — and burned them at the stake.

For the past few weeks we’ve watched the modern feminist power structure arbitrarily accuse a man, Brett Kavanaugh, of committing unspecified sexual advances more than thirty years ago, based on no evidence or witnesses, and attempt to burn his reputation and prospects for a Supreme Court appointment at the stake.

Will they succeed? If they do, we’re back to Salem, Massachusetts, circa 1690, and no man will be safe from being hounded and destroyed by the type of evil, marauding American women that Rush Limbaugh has so aptly named Feminazis.

Must be Swiss. What other western nation only gave women the vote in the 1970s?

I love women and I love men. But if I am honest and I had to travel with 5 of one gender only and get stuff done, and have a good time, I’d choose the men.
