Some days I am left wondering if Islam is right about women.

No, because islam presumes women must be hidden away because the men have no self control. 

The above is an example of a woman with no self control and very poor objectives.

Yes. And she did updates to her followers during the course of the 'stunt'. 

I am aware of this because a number of folks I follow on various media formats discussed it from the context of "can you believe this?!?!?".

Of course there were. How else could one run a major empire and be able to present revenue and expense data to the king grouped by district?

I still think this is on the outer boundaries even for some in the left. But not all and certainly not among those who are big on sex positivity while at the same time being hyper critical about the objectification of women AND toxic masculinity.

the technology explosion of the 20th century combined with mass media and massive government services does something unexpected:

 

life seems as though it ought to be easier than ever before because of these new innovations, new developments and new technologies but the irony is the increased neuroticism and infantilization arriving with it -  having your cake and eat it too is not all that is cracked up to be

as more people are in therapy or are addled with anti-depressants or cannot seem to function

in society or not act like overgrown children

 

consider the reproductive technologies which remove uncertainty and risk from the game as well as the people themselves

- on demand birth control

- on demand abortion

- artificial insemination and artificial wombs

 

this means that the vetting selection process that the species is wired for is short circuited and replaced with something that is entirely out of sync with the evolution of the species- it happened so quickly in such a short amount of time that the species still is essentially wired as it was in the paleolithic era is but now living in the 21st century where there is increased conflict between these two things

 

the females have rigged it so that no matter what bad choices they might make there are virtually no consequences-

if they bet on the wrong partner or mate or cannot attract the right one the government is there to bail them out- and the females essentially marry the state and the rest of us pay the tax to take care of them or their children as women are the primary consumers of public funds or services

 

on demand birth control removes the need to make better decisions since there is not much risk in getting knocked up and not having anywhere to go- in the past a pregnancy was much more dangerous and removed a female from the ability to fend for herself for at least 9 months and the follow up after childbirth, requiring men to fill the requirement of protector and provider. her decisions had to be based on reality

 

no longer the case when females essentially can abort or plan their pregnancy, suppress hormonal drives or marry the state as a fail safe

 

additionally females entering the workforce combined with affirmative action and competing against men for the same careers has affected the earning potential of men per the law of supply and demand- plus the automation of labor or offshoring work in a service economy delivered the next wrinkle in the game as many men's jobs have evaporated in fields that most females were never interested in entering in the first place

and the rise in increasingly bitchy entitled spoiled brats

many of the modern princesses over value themselves and view themselves as a cut above most men

and that is what the messages in modern society have been telling everyone

it is in the schools

it is in the workplace

it is in the entertainment and the news and even in government messages

 

 

finally the invention of the internet and social media has been one of the most insane things of all

people are losing social skills and now perceive themselves as competing for attention not just within their own local communities but now worldwide- the competition is not just limited to local geography but from anywhere

and the race to the bottom to act like idiots or whatever and get the most attention and likes and affirmation

people are more comfortable interacting with their apps doing these things

put them in a real live situation and see how they deal with it then without the insulating layers between them

 

all of these developments and a few others create a cutting edge and advanced citizen

Birth control and abortion need to be banned. Then the natural process is back.

Quote

men are flocking to female-dominated yoga and Pilates classes — and women are enraged: ‘We all secretly hate you'

 

https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/men-flocking-female-dominated-yoga-154141994.html

 

i tend to agree in general men should stop entering into female spaces like this

one of the failings of men is often their inability to register just how much the wimmins actually hate them

how much they seem to internalize being the butt of jokes or being clowns to women because a lot of men think it is endearing to women be emasculated or if to self emasculate as if that was the way to win the favor of women

women deep down think that when men do this  like the male cuttlefish which is attempting to sneak one past the goalie

what other purpose is there but to use it as a potential mating opportunity

 

it should go both ways- of course the boy scouts should be the boy scouts and not the next piece of male property  the females managed to claim for the benefit of females

females should be shown the door whenever they try to enter male spaces

it just does not go both ways

and the way the females do not seem to register what their behaviors look like but play or hold the equality and equity canard exclusively as a female privilege

 

i say the men ought tell the women where they can stick it which would go a long way to restoring balance in the gender war

I've met feminists who dated the most alpha bro types. And these ladies universally love being negged or disrespected. I think we've all seen this.

It depends. The feminists hate it when we have our own space.

i have dated several feminists and every single on of them were turned on when i talked to them like sex objects despite all their nonsense

 

a lot of what they are doing is a power play that many men have failed to detect

or simply cannot put women in their place when they are acting like assholes

or fail to understand the games that females play

 

deep down the women know why men would join their spaces and behave like this- it is to scout for dates or whatever. it is really the males who are the romantic sex and the idealists, not the females; it is the males who universally created all the fairy tales about romantic love and so on, not the females. the reason why is that the males are not the ones to get pregnant, which is a serious matter. any encounter with a male risks pregnancy for a female whether wanted or not - which is why the female mindset is inherently different, that fact is always running in the background which is one of the main reasons why the genders are absolutely not equal

and you have these male 'allies' and male feminists who are doing all of that kind of thing- which deep down all females know what is happening with males attempting to get dates and to do this sort of thing to get their clothes off

 

the irony is the females themselves created these types of men, but true to the female tendency to change their minds regret anything they actually obtain and these men become rather off-putting to them

 

as a result you get a lot of the men are homer simpson buffoons and women are their betters in all the tropes ( women are the fairer sex, the better half- men have internalized this and seem to think that therefore they should accept this idea of themselves that society has defined for them instead of laughing at it and pushing back- because there are always plenty more males who come to rescue the honor of the females when that happens against the toxic males who refuse to go along with this; all they know how to do is act like they are 'secure' with their masculinity by siding with women against other men)

Uderzo and Goscinny did invest quite some time researching their topics, even if they took great liberties to write contemporary satire (e.g. the augurs in The Seer predicting the future, with a drawing of Uderzo's home (as the reasonable prediction), and a photo of La Défense during its construction (as the completely bonkers prediction)).

[Stuart Galbraith]

I particularly enjoyed the one set in Britain, as it contained most of Frances preconceptions about how Britain is, most of which admittedly were quite correct.

 

[Ssnake]

The satire part certainly played a lot on stereotypes, and not all of them are wrong.

I failed, but at least I tried.

Two more in Oh and No. Four more in that last sentence.

Note though, they didn't complain about homophobia ... but that the dreaded heteronormativity in the careless words of some users - not even those of the company! - makes the product anti-letter salad.
