Powder Room Scenes
A territorial struggle of sorts:
⚠️EXTREMELY GRAPHIC AND DISTURBING⚠️

And remember, ladies, when a male bedlamite pushes his phone camera under an occupied bathroom stall in order to livestream to his admirers a woman who is unhappy about a male bedlamite’s presence in a ladies’ toilets – and when said bedlamite’s phone is kicked away and he then claims victimhood, specifically injury to his penis, which he mentions quite a lot – this is totally normal and nothing to worry about.
It’s just how things are now. Embrace all that progress.
A word of caution. The link immediately above contains graphic content.
Update, via the comments:
Mags notes our bedlamite’s livestreaming of his bathroom adventures, and of his victim, adding,
Well, quite. As a way to convince women that they’ve nothing to fear, that any concerns they might have are merely bigotry, and that you’re not at all unhinged and a danger… it does leave something to be desired.
Also, open thread. Share ye links and bicker.
But I’ve been told this never happens.
Indeed. It’s just that it never happens quite a lot.
(Again, graphic content.)
See also.
I was thinking more about embracing the judicious use of pitchforks and bonfires.
There are only two eventual outcomes from this lunacy being not only allowed, but encouraged, and they are both awful.
Either the pointed sticks and neckties are broken out, for which they will have no one to blame but themselves. Although based on past evidence they never blame themselves for anything and that’s a large part of the problem.
Or things continue on as they are and worsen slowly over time.
Both are horrible but at least the first might lead to back to normality after an interregnum of violence, the second is not worth considering.
As noted here not too long ago,
There are illustrative links in the original.
Oddly, the words that came to mind were a slow approach with a flame thrower.
For those who missed it, related to the above.
But it’s The Guardian, so . . .
Because that always makes you look good.
As a way to convince women that they’ve nothing to fear, that any concerns they might have are merely bigotry, and that you’re not at all unhinged and a danger… it does leave something to be desired.
…claims victimhood, specifically injury to his penis, which he mentions quite a lot…
Indeed, he would have had to have his crank on the floor of the bathroom which would raise other questions.
OTOH, his chanting about his johnson might only have been a new song (and I use the term loosely) by Cardi B or that Ice Spice thing from the other day.
It occurs to me that some visitors may have missed it.
And we can’t have that.
And we can’t have that.
Anyone who says you aren’t a giver, no, a true saint, is a buffoon.
OTOH, sorry I brought it up…

As a brief sidebar, and as the general topic is dysfunctional people, yesterday there was some discussion about National Geographic and its decline.
It appears that in 2019 the six top editors were canned, last year all the staff writers were sacked and all writing now is done by
clickbaitfreelance writers.All this happened after it was bought by – wait for it – Disney.
Another mystery solved.
And hence, on assumes, the sudden prominence of moustachioed drag queens.
By the way, still preoccupied with other matters, so no Ephemera tomorrow. Normal service should resume Monday or Tuesday.
Wasn’t there a news report a few years ago that Disney was replacing most of their American IT employees with immigrants, and forcing the Americans to train their replacements as a condition of receiving severance pay?

This would be better.
But it’s The Guardian, so . . .
Shorter Guardian: Imagine if there were no women.
I thought the Guardian had a fairly large screeching feminist reader base and stable of harpies – er writers. So much for all that GRRRRRL Power and Fight the Patriarchy – the whole lot of them turned out to be a whiny bunch of pussies, or fannies, or whatevs.
I am still torqued off to no end by that photo featured here of those fawning AWFLs worshiping at the feet of that tennis coach bloke in a bad wig and flouncy frock. That image summed up the current ethos.
For those who missed the fawning AWFLs in question.
Okay, let’s test the assertion.
…the flimsy and poorly-understood relationship between testosterone and elite performance…
“Higher does better than lower” is indeed an advanced concept.
Okay, let’s test the assertion.
Water?
All I see is a glass, not a cup (unless they are speaking of the measurement, but there is no way of verifying that) of clear liquid which could be any number of things, unless you have a
palpeer reviewed reference that proves it is water.Who’s going to break out those pointed sticks and neckties? You, Lieutenant Weinberg? No, unfortunately for everyone, probably everyone in the (once) free world, it will be the second. The kind of people it takes to do the former will be turned on by all “right thinking” people. Unfortunately those kinds of people are not as stupid as the “smart” people think. They know the “smart” ones will throw them under the bus art the first misstep. Revolutions are nothing but a series of missteps that more than likely turn out bad. Sometimes not as bad as the prior regime but there’s no guarantees in history. The irony for the ones with the greater will to use the pointy sticks and neckties is all of this idiocy could quite easily have been avoided if the “smart” people weren’t so bloody full of themselves and were willing to listen to certain coal mine canaries. Oh, well.

Chesterton said it best,

Not sure ease is quite the word for what I’m feeling.
How about high-street banking?

The term ‘polymorphous perversity’ doesn’t get used nearly as often as warranted.
Eeewwww
It can’t be said enough, we live in profoundly stupid times.
Worse, there are people who take the term as a badge of honor. (Well, after all, that is what “queering the culture” is all about.)
Of course they do. Who’s gonna shame them otherwise? You, Lieutenant Weinberg?
It occurs to me that every single issue the Left hangs its hat on is based on a lie. Because, I think, otherwise they have nothing.
Feminism: if you count hours worked, miles commuted, and job performed–no wage shortfall. They want to count office work the same as warehouse work.
Race: The % of whites with a gun in a cop encounter shot by police is actually higher than for blacks. The % of blacks arrested who do time is slightly lower than for whites arrested. Almost all black murder victims killed by other blacks. etc.
Climate change: without canoodling around with the temperature record and models, we are not all going to die. Even the UN IPCC report does not show catastrophe, just a drop in global income due to warming….that is less than the drop in income due to fighting climate change.
Covid: more fatalities among teens (heart problems) due to the shot than from the disease. High cost in lost education, businesses, suicides from lockdown.
Pollution: earth much cleaner most places but EPA will never declare victory.
Etc.
“[…] the flimsy and poorly-understood relationship between testosterone and elite performance […]”
First, note that until puberty boys and girls are not too far apart in sports ability, though boys do play sports more. After puberty the difference accelerates rapidly. By 15 there are boys who can do the iron cross on the rings, which girls can never do. I have shown my grown girls that if I, an older man and average size, hold their two wrists together with one hand, they cannot get away (as a warning about what they should assume). The flip side of this is chivalry and wives always asking their husband to open jars, move furniture, pick up heavy stuff, etc. It is the guy who stands in front of the wife when there is a barking dog or homeless guy. Of course, if it makes the 0.00001% of the population feel good about themselves to take over women’s sports, sure, it is fine.
If you cannot shame anyone, if destroying the system is a badge of virtue, if you cannot criticize anyone, then insanity cannot be addressed, therapy administered, or social norms upheld. And here we are.
Sometimes violence is justified. The boy needs a spanking..

Well, the old one says “The Lord is my light”, and we can’t be having that now can we? People might be offended.
This. Though you are part of the general culture.
No. Just the once. I hated the general message that Meathead was trying to make. Lost a few “conservative” friends by pointing out that it’s a left-wing movie that denigrates the honor of the Marine Corps. Even one actual Marine. Oh well. I do greatly appreciate certain aspects of Colonel Nathan R. Jessup, especially that wind up at the end. The bit about things not talked about at cocktail parties is gold. I think Reiner learned a lot from Norman Lear about understanding conservative viewpoints. He just uses that understanding to create more serious, believable fictions that undermine it. Lear did similar but still held some respect for poor old ignorant Archie. Reiner absolutely hates us.
Or things continue on as they are and worsen slowly over time.
I’m going to point out that despite the categorically ludicrous claims made by various prosecutors, “therapists” and expert psychologists during the Satanic Ritual Abuse hysteria of the 1980s, not one of those people has ever been so much as charged with anything. The Buckeys spent years in jail and had their lives completely destroyed, and they have received zero compensation from anyone for what they were put through.
At best, you might get a handful of civil liability suits against doctors who performed surgery on minors that will be settled out of court under NDA. No one will ever be properly held to account for this.
Sadly, as a betting man, I think this is a sure thing. I would like to tempt fate by betting a fortune on no one being held accountable for it and losing, however. Unfortunately I’m not that unlucky.
This to me is far, far worse than the Satanic Abuse thing though. I have a real hard time processing how people can do this to children. Sexual abuse was bad enough but then they had to go and invent something actually worse. I remember in college learning (heh, “learning” but never have checked it out since) that promising boys in the Vienna Boys’ Choir were castrated back in the day. Just as I was getting over viewing Austrians with suspicion.
Heh….so I google it and notice the “good heavens, where would you get such an idea” responses (from seven years ago) on this Quora page snapshot. And yet something Oxford-y…

God almighty. But she’s messing with the Blogfather, and I don’t think she’ll like the results.
Sounds like her whole family is a Cluster B nightmare. How on earth do you protect yourself against such malevolence?
She identifies as Batman.
You do realise it’s mainly college educated liberal women who support this ideology?
You have to first convince the women themselves that they are sexist bigots who hate to admit that men might be biologically superior in certain aspects. It’s their insistence that there is no biological difference between the two genders which could explain male outperformance in many areas (and that any such difference is “sexism”, of course only when men perform better). And that has in turn opened the door for this trans madness.
See the reference to AWFLs upthread, and the accompanying link to a pretty typical example of the phenomenon.
AWFLs (or AWFULs) being affluent white female upper-class liberal. Or, angry white female urban liberal. Or some variation.
And the glee with which these terribly progressive ladies will screw over the daughters of those they consider socially and politically inferior is a thing to behold.
So much for sisterhood.
Despite the woke piety and theatrical compassion, there’s an air of ruthlessness. You get the impression that they’d sell you out in a heartbeat, and smile while doing it.
In terms of progressive posturing, it follows a familiar trajectory, whereby values are flattened and normal moral distinctions between aggressor and victim somehow evaporate. See, for example, the Guardian’s Zoe Williams, mentioned here, who merrily shafts the victims of chronic antisocial behaviour while conjuring excuses for the ferals and abusers who take such pleasure in making the lives of others an utter misery:
There are some eye-widening links in the original. And if you poke through the archives, you’ll find many more examples. There’s an eerily similar pattern.
A recent FB group posed the question “Who/what do you consider the greatest threat to the United States?” I replied “Women”. Surprised that I haven’t caught considerable hell by now. Oh well, there’s always tomorrow.
It’s sure to make the passengers feel at ease.
Sadly, I would think twice about misgendering the attendant during the trip for fear of either being arrested upon landing – say, if I was flying to London – or finding myself on a no-fly list.
Good. I’d hate to think you were making unfounded assumptions or insinuations.
Oh? Meaning? And you, too, are part of that general culture.
I was not aware of that, but am not surprised. I’d have thought that “recovered memory” therapists could be sued for garbage medicine even when deliberate fraud cannot be legally proved. And the legal bar to going after unethical prosecutors is very high.
I was listening to a Jordan Peterson podcast last month in which he and his guest speculated that on this: Female unconditional love works well in caring for young children, but it may not scale well in general society–and thus we have large numbers of women demonstrating inappropriate sympathy for very bad people and very bad ideas.
Themis Matsoukas, 64, allegedly inserted a tree branch, lollipop, and the control handle of a John Deere crawler in his anus.
Ah yes, some kind of sad, lonely pervert universally rejected by wider society no doubt.
Oh.
Appalling and horrifying, but at least he isn’t demanding that we respect his “gender”.
Penn State again. What is wrong with that place?
Penn State employs such stellar people.
Yet.
It was once one of middle America’s most beloved and admired institutions. It’s still the same old story…
1. Identify a respected institution.
2. kill it.
3. gut it.
4. wear its carcass as a skin suit, while demanding respect.
It could have been prevented. I’m sure many, many people said, “Hey…wait a minute…”. They were promptly mocked and dismissed.
I’d have thought that “recovered memory” therapists could be sued for garbage medicine
It’s essentially impossible to sue psychologists/therapists for anything unless, like John Money, they commit actual actionable crimes. Psychologists/therapists that are not clinical (i.e. clinicians or actual psychiatrists) aren’t licensed or regulated and so there’s no standard to hold them to.
As for unethical prosecutors – if you read accounts from the various SRA trials it’s starkly clear from the very beginning that none of the alleged crimes were even physically possible, much less occurred beyond a reasonable doubt. And we’re not talking about “well, these lurid accusations are exaggerations or trauma-distorted memories of more prosaic sexual abuse”; no, the investigators were completely convinced of honest-to-Lucifer horned-mask-and-robe-wearing cultists engaging in sex orgies with pre-pubescent children, impregnating them, delivering the babies, sacrificing the babies, and burying the remains under the basement dirt floor. Their chief witness was a delusional schizophrenic.
If you can’t charge or disbar a prosecutor who files charges based on that, then the ability to charge a prosecutor at all has no meaning.
When something like this happens, the justice system aggressively memory holes it and never, ever admits any wrongdoing so as to prevent the flood of lawsuits that would result. You’ll see the same with genital mutilation surgery on minor children. I mean, they won’t admit Muslim doctors are performing clitoridectomies on young girls in Canada and the US, or charge them, despite ample evidence this is happening.
I laughed.
Sheesh, that witness sounds like Ralph.
As did I.
Allrighty then, I wasn’t aware a boy pretending to be a girl was the new definition of “tomboy”. Nice headline, BTW.
It’s the ‘play dumb’ school of punditry – pretending not to understand why anyone could be concerned and castigate them for that concern.
Good News, Everyone! This year’s Stupid Bowl ads were 2.5 times more queer than last year!

Illegal alienUndocumented citizen cultural enrichment because diversity is our strength. You have our gratitude.Certain Celts, the Jews, specifically the Einsteins, many cultures composed mostly of tribes were not available for comment either. Cousin marriages were not all that unusual back when people rarely traveled more than 50 miles from the place they were born. Or in cultures that existed somewhat separate within other often hostile cultures. Not that they are a good idea, especially first cousins, nor should they be encouraged but a significant number of people have a few diamonds in the family tree. The greater capacity for a greater number of people to migrate and travel over greater distances as has evolved over the last 200 years or so decreased the acceptance and some degree necessity of them.
They’re currently popular in some Muslim countries. Might explain some things.
Er, the only people shaming tomboys into harming themselves is the Alphabet Soup people and their love of “top surgery”. Yeet the teets and all, right? As Muldoon said – pretty sure these “trans girls” and trans women” are not calling themselves “tomboys”. It’s Ma’am! Trans women are WOMEN, bigot!
I understand the Kurds, most likely just certain factions but what do I know, encourage it between the children of two uncles. Whatever surviving Christian enclaves within the Muslim Middle East accept it. I believe the Yazidis were persecuted partly based on cousin marriage but I might be misremembering. Or the original story I saw in that regard was bunk to begin with but such groups have to permit it or else risk extinction.
The destigmatization of first cousin marriage by the Economist and the BBC among others is so that our distaste towards the practice doesn’t put social or legal barriers in the way of ethnic communities for whom first cousin marriage is a central tool of tribal organization and chain migration. If we find an ethnic group’s practices foreign to us, we’re bad people who should be punished by the greater numbers, influence,and cohesion of that ethnic group in our countries.
Isn’t that “drafting error” by the Kentucky legislator’s staff a bit fishy? Copying out 15 kinds of family relationship and omitting one, that’s believable if the document was retyped, not in an era of copy-paste and diff tools. And if it’s a deliberate mistake, it’s not sexual minority advocacy for hillbillies as Twitter wants to think, there’s ethnic lobbying behind it or maybe a solo intervention by a staff member from an ethnic group.
The author of the piece, Daniel Villarreal, “a journalist and educator,” does seem to be projecting wildly. The people weirdly and intrusively fascinated by the sexuality of other people’s children – and in sexualising minors – and the people parading their own kinks to a captive, juvenile audience – as if schooling eleven-year-old children were some kind of erotic self-therapy – tend to have views remarkably similar to those of Mr Villarreal.
And if the above isn’t sufficiently ironic, it’s perhaps worth mentioning that the premature sexualisation of children is a very common cause of sexual dysmorphia.
What in the name of all that is holy is this?
Well, that was disappeared quickly! In between loading the video which wouldn’t play and reloading it, it suddenly mysteriously vanished.
Nothing to worry about I’m sure. I probably shouldn’t have watched it anyway. Bad for me, likely. Better if some nameless, secretive, unanswerable, Thought Police decide what I can watch and what I can’t right?
Right Elon?
It must be spring – the grifters are in bloom:
I would have thought the solution was obvious – fence off selected portions of the British Countryside for blacks only. This will result in an equitable racial division of the land.
I recommend starting with the black country. Or Darkmoor.
I’ll just leave these here. For no reason whatsoever.
Again, given the theatrical hand-wringing and the grandiose claims of victimhood, actual examples of rudeness, let alone racism, are remarkably thin on the ground. Instead, our supposedly downtrodden grifters invoke more contrived and esoteric justifications for themselves to be funded, indulged and generally deferred to.
And when those supposed justifications include the allegedly oppressive layout of clothing in hiking gear shops, a scarcity of brown-skinned rock-climbing instructors, and a shortage of discernibly gay kayakers kayaking in a suitably gay-affirming manner, as seen in the links above, then some mockery seems in order.
And perhaps a gentle pelting with soft fruit.

Right, I am not quite seeing how “songs” about how you busted a cap on someone squares with “dealing with threats of violence”, but then I didn’t know islands could tip over either.
David – you should talk to Josh Moon of Kiwifarms. They have a huge collection on tranny behaviour.
His theory based on observation is that this results from porn addiction and eventual contempt for women (I’ll show you, bitch! I’ll be a sexier, better woman than you can be).
Even better: rename those regions Machete Murder and Cap In Yo Ass.
The fretting about “gendered clothing” in this post reminded me of an unintentionally revealing essay I read long ago, in which the science fiction writer Samuel R Delany related being introduced to the shocking sexism of the clothing industry: While his Levis jeans had big functional pockets, his wife’s jeans had tiny pockets that even she could not fit her entire hands into: So impractical. A terribly sexist imposition upon suffering American women. Nowhere did Delany display any awareness, in that essay or any other written in the 60’s/70’s/80’s, that the manufacturers were not imposing such styles on women but were responding to what women want as revealed in what they actually buy. Not coincidentally, Delany is a Marxist. (As is his former wife Marilyn Hacker. He is gay and she is a lesbian, and I believe they are both strong supporters of “queering the culture”.)
The link still works for me. (But I still find some of the “visitor’s” words impossible to understand.)
