Run Wild, Run Free
I’m sensing it may be time for an open thread, in which to share links and bicker. We could, for instance, establish, on a level of 1-10, how indecent and distressing this thing here is, and whether it constitutes grounds for divorce.
And some of you may care to theorise about this other thing and how it came to be.
If the cravings are too much, you can always poke through the reheated series and greatest hits.

Goodness, wonder the over/under of how long this relationship will last?
Oh dear. She seems to think her life and relationships are happening on TV or in a glossy magazine. Have neurotic women always been this common, or has our culture recently started churning out more of them?
WTP,
I was going to post this in that Twitter thread, but realized it was a week old and no one would see it.
It certainly is appropriate.
use it to store loose change
Heh. Right, I’ve some Korean reality TV to watch before bed.
Play nicely. Use coasters.

To answer the question asked earlier, there are a few sane people in California, but, any claims to the contrary, the last sane person in San Francisco left when The Presido closed as an active Army installation.

Know your enemy, indeed.
Spiny,
That’s a fav of mine as well. But as you say, I doubt it would be appreciated. Or even understood. I mean of course they would understand the meaning of the words but how such a thing could come to be is hard to for them to swallow. After all, such a theme has not appeared in their literature. My first youthful encounter as a twenty-something with Mencken’s observation that “The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it” took a while to sink in. I fear I’ve become more cynical than HLM in that the “almost always” seems rather generous to me. To save (or more accurately help) individuals or small groups, OK. Noble. But those with The Grande Idea To Save Humanity I don’t trust in the least.
Sam,
This fight will never end or lessen. The price of freedom, despite popular belief, has not dropped to “$1.05”, but remains “eternal vigilance”.
Agree but my concern is that the vigilance is lacking. The more I speak with younger people, the more concerned I am. Yes there are a few exceptions. But I’m beginning to think that the sooner the Gods of the Copybook Headings have their say, the sooner we will get back to vigilance. We wouldn’t be the first exceptional civilization to meet its end at the hands of those who fail to understand what makes things work.
Farnsworth,

Heh.

…how long this relationship will last?
In the article neurotic Nelly says:
I, on the other hand, started obsessing over it. I couldn’t be the girlfriend of someone who had an Asian fetish because that would make me complicit in a pattern that was rooted in violence and colonization.
Like the Asian lady who became my son’s landlord at University said while my son and wife were having an emotional goodbye moment:
“Who care!”
Why not just push legislation right on through to flush those bastards out…
You seem to be under the impression that a so-called representative democracy is not actually a full-on ensemble of lying grifters trading favors and power for precisely as long as it takes for the structure under them to collapse from our willful blindness and sloth. And the grifting.
I bet you thought that was rhetorical.
It’s the slow boil of the frog that will kill us anyway, but they’ll peel those of us at the bottom off first.
That’s more like it.
Have neurotic women always been this common, or has our culture recently started churning out more of them?
Yes.

(Seriously, did you read what she thinks good pillow talk should be? Lady knows how to show her man a good time in bed, ya know?)

That was sarcasm on her part. The rest is, admittedly, toxic neuroticism. Ironically, the proof that her husband does have an Asian fetish is that he’s still putting up with this bint.
Yes.
It’s not just neurotic women, of course. Men are also rendered neurotic by woke politics.
Or at least, already-neurotic men are made more insufferable.

For some reason the “shower show” comes to mind.

Neurosis is emotional energy, deceptive ideology gives it degenerate focus.
deceptive ideology gives it degenerate focus.
While parsing leftist outpourings, it’s a question that’s occurred to me repeatedly. When you read things like this, by Melissa Fabello, you have to wonder, did the intersectional ideology make her dysfunctional, or was she attracted to the ideology because she already was? In that, intersectional fretting seems all but designed to excuse and exacerbate a neurotic inclination.
Quite surprised to learn of all these egg-carton difficulties. I thought everyone did what I do, just squeeze the chicken.

‘The officer said she wanted to talk to me about some of the things I’d written on Twitter and my blog. She said that some of the things that I’d written could have upset or offended transgender people. So could I please stop writing things like that and perhaps I could remove those posts and tweets?’

Hey, Scotland Yard, I was just kidding about the Felonious Tweets…
Have a compelling first-person story you want to share? Send your story description to pitch@huffpost.com.
I’m not sure I can match the neurotic Asian chick, but I’d be willing to try. Should we turn this into a contest?
Sure. Tell them about the flamethrower, the henchlesbians, and the pickled “eggs.”
And the hump fat.
I should tell them about my clinical depression (runs in the family).
I figure if Churchill could win a war with the black dog at his heels, I can manage everyday life, but the scrambled thinking does get taxing. Anyway, if I can blame it on the patriarchy, I bet I’ll have a winner.

As most of the world now knows, that once-soggy, monochrome, conservative and somewhat provincial country known as Ireland has now become the Wokest Among All the Nations.
Our Progress (all bow) means of course that we are striving to be the most multi-cultural nation on earth.
One of the many things I had noticed appearing was the remarkable number of white male/ Asian female couples which appears to be a “thing” in formerly White European counties and, it would appear, in the USA as well. (by Asian I mean China to Japan, and all countries in between)
However I doubt that I have seen one white woman/ Asian male couple for every 10 of the reverse.
Any theories why? It is not old men and “postal brides”. Most of the youngish men with Asian girlfriends that I would know of would be of the “woke” variety.
In comparison, the white male/ black female versus black male/ white female ratio seems much more even
(p.s. I don’t care that anyone would fancy/fall in love with/ marry an Asian girl- I am just curious as to why this imbalance seems to be a phenomenon. It is not as if we have a shortage of Chinese males either)
After 60-+ years of modern feminism, we are told that girls are still “behind” in STEM. I
see 2 possible explanations:
1). Feminists have been too shy about getting their message out.
2). They got their message out, but people aren’t interested.
The government, colleges, schools, all communications industries, and a fair number of Protestant denominations are controlled by feminists and adhere to feminist principles. This was not true 60 years ago. Therefore, either:
1). Feminism is the right way to go. Feminists lead happier lives than non- or anti-feminists and things are run more efficiently than in the pre-feminist era.
2). Feminism is neutral and has had no appreciable effects on feminists or on anyone else.
3). Feminism is the wrong way to go. Feminists are unhappy, make everyone else unhappy, and under their rule society is fubar’d.
See which statement most accurately reflects what’s going on around you and you know whether feminism’s good or bad. This approach helps uncomplicate any -ism, not just feminism.
It is not as if we have a shortage of Chinese males either
And that’s all I have to say about that.
Any theories why? It is not old men and “postal brides”.
Steve Sailer’s theory is that blacks on average are more “masculine” (bigger, cockier) than whites, and Asians more “feminine” (delicate, modest) than whites, giving black men and Asian women an advantage in interracial dating, and causing resentment in black women and Asian men.
Most of the youngish men with Asian girlfriends that I would know of would be of the “woke” variety.
Much of the “Asian fetish” I suspect is a traditionalist fetish, and not just among the postal bride crowd who might admit to wanting a traditional wife, but among “woke” men too who are very much in denial about their motivations.
Feminism brings up women to believe that it’s empowering to create drama for their boyfriends, and it brings up men without any of the skills their grandfathers had to ignore female drama by going to the pub, or to put a stop to it by asserting themselves, or to deflect it with a Clark Gable smirk. A “woke” man who longs for a girlfriend who’ll treat him kindly and with whom he can have a quiet life isn’t able to acknowledge these feelings, because that would make him “intimidated by strong women”.
Instead he finds himself strangely drawn to Taoism or Hokusai woodcuts and starts going to language lessons and making travel plans. The interest is genuine, but you can become intellectually interested in anything. The gravitational pull behind the interest is a great hunger for a feminine gentleness that’s become discredited and shameful in the West, and a belief that Asian women are still brought up to cultivate those attributes.
Our Chinese-American writer has spent her life suspecting her boyfriends of motivations along those lines. Any instinct she has for gentleness and a quiet life with her beloved sets off alarm bells for her, and the need to stir up drama to recertify her feminist credentials.

Did you ever get the feeling that the world was a tuxedo and you were a pair of brown shoes?
What would make feminists happy?
For most, a spanking.
And I am serious.
Deadly serious.
Steve Sailer’s theory is…
Two alternatives:
Feminist/Marxoid ball-cutting has less affected certain social aspects black male behavior vs. white male behavior.
Yet, at the same time, political machinery has not effectively degenerated east Asian and white families the way it has black family structures, the result being that being white and dating an Asian girl, or black and dating a white girl, is a safer bet than dating in your own race for either.
Much of the “Asian fetish” I suspect is a traditionalist fetish, and not just among the postal bride crowd who might admit to wanting a traditional wife, but among “woke” men too who are very much in denial about their motivations.
If I was in the market for a wife, I imagine that I might be attracted to Asian women for those reasons (being the last socially conservative man left in Ireland).
The young hipster/ student types however? I would have said perhaps the modern devotion to multi-culturalism etc predisposes them to seek out exotic partners.
That line of thinking however does not account for the extent of the white male/ Asian female phenomenon, so your explanation seems more plausible.
Now, how do I explain to my wife (a most non-deferential Irish woman) the inevitable bombarding of the family laptop with ads for Asian Brides?
Don’t even try, you’ll just get in trouble.

Tell her the interwebs have identified your discontent, but that you are not actively shopping around.
I find myself slightly bemused by the whole ‘Asian women are subservient’ thing. People who say that ought to try dating a Hong Kong Chinese girl.
However, Asian women are more keen on marriage and family than drunken spinsterhood and a meaningless career in PR.
Asian women are, in general, feminine. Not their fault if Americans confuse this with subservience. Asians are also, in general, polite.
The above do not apply if the Asian attends an expensive American college; she’ll end up as obnoxiously indoctrinated as any American graduate of same.
we are told that girls are still “behind” in STEM
I’ve mentioned this before; my class of 1996 chemical engineering was about 35% female, which was the average for a decade or two. After twenty-five years of aggressively marketing engineering to high school girls, giving them no-effort scholarships and proividing all kinds of women-only support and mentoring programs, the percentage of women in engineering has dropped by about 30% (in terms of absolute numbers; it’s about 20-25% in chem eng now).
By any evidence-based standard, what we’re doing isn’t working. Which is all you need to know about whether this was ever about getting more women into STEM in the first place.
re: Asian women
While I think there’s something to the gravitational pull of the traditionalist woman theory, my personal theory is that it’s basically just attraction to the exotic combined with millenials watching waaaaay too much anime.
MC,
“Subservient”. Oh yeah.
The lady i married, and a coworker, were happy to be known as those “tough Asian broads”.
But then they both had years of experience working in engineering at aerospace / mil contract firms, and my future wife had spent her teen years in New Joisey.
So, no.
