Be Still, My Beating Loins
For seekers of the erotic and forbidden:
Consider this an open thread.
I’ll start the ball rolling with an excruciatingly obtuse discussion about wangs and women’s changing rooms. I say obtuse, but it’s more a matter of practised dishonesty.
Share ye links and bicker.
Um. . .
So . . . is an upright still thruppence?
See? Now I read that as “Still Beating My Loins”. You really should consider how your choice of titles impacts those of us in teh dyslexic community.
Do you have a legal right to privacy in your bathroom…?
Gee, I dunno, but that construct “legal right” is one that exists only within a framework where “legality” is a functional thing.
Step outside that framework, whether its because you rendered it nonexistent, or because it broke down after you belabored it with too many impossibilities?
There is no such thing as a right; there is only what you can assert and enforce. If you are weak, then you are asserted and enforced against. If you are not, you do as you damn well please.
The brave woke sorts imagine that once they’ve broken all the rules and constraints down, that there will then be this paradise wherein they get to do whatever they want.
What they forget is that there are two factors which will assert new and likely far more onerous strictures: One, their ideas don’t actually work, and two, that they’re in the minority. A tiny minority; when the time comes, and people are tired of them crapping on their sidewalks, then they’ll learn the hard way why crapping on sidewalks has been frowned upon since time immemorial.
It’s going to be hysterically funny watching these morons reconstruct society from first principles all around us, as they have to reconstruct everything they’ve broken. Or, more likely, since these arseholes typically don’t build anything in the first damn place, as they get crushed under the return of civilized standards of conduct and decorum.
In the old days, they just ostracized you and called you names. In the coming times, having seen what these deviants can do, unfettered, I suspect that the penalties for social transgression are gonna be a hell of a lot higher. As in, summary capital punishment inflicted by your peers for things like not putting the shopping cart back in its corral…
In reference to the whole sex in Wolverhampton thing…
It will be interesting to see what our descendants make of the whole of our lives these days, when they look around and realize that their post-population crash milieu is so much different from what we project about the future.
Ain’t nobody out there looking at the implications of a 1.2 fertility rate, and working out the likely state of the world a generation or two after that becomes common.
I suspect that the world population is going to fall a hell of a lot faster, and a hell of a lot harder than it rose; that there will be some very nasty social factors brought about to try and compensate, and that the Brave New World of sexual promiscuity and female empowerment at the expense of everyone else ain’t going to exist for very long.
I hate to have to point this out, ladies, but the sad fact is that there were and are intrinsic biological imperatives coded into our genes. These imperatives mean that you’ve got at least as many responsibilities as you do prerogatives; ignoring the former for the latter means your entire civilization eventually dies. Badly. “Children of Men” wasn’t entirely off, and something very like that is coming down the pike in some form or another. Likely, a hell of a lot sooner than many of you realize.
I expect that you’re going to see birth mandates and capital punishments brought in for abortion before the end of this century, in a lot of countries.
The public of the future is going to look at the debate we’ve had and are having over the whole thing, and marvel at the obtusity of it all: You can’t have a civilization without people, and if the sole source of replacement participants won’t fulfill the requirement…?
Do the math; also realize that it will be the same statist thugs who’re today jailing people for praying outside abortion clinics who will be hunting down women and putting them into what I suppose will be called “birthing labor camps”.
I really think some of y’all might want to prepare for being treated the way the people who run puppy mills treat their female dogs. Some of the regimes out there will be doing that, and they may very well be your own.
Key thing for rational people to note? You can’t be the lord over creation, when there ain’t no people to lord it over. The WEF types will figure it all out, when they have to do their own dishes; shortly after, the coercions will be beginning.
From the previous thread:
Bugs vs Wile E Coyote, yes.
But when WEC goes up against the roadrunner, the coyote is almost always defeated by the impersonal, inevitable laws of physics — yes, as he over reaches and overestimates his genius.
The comedy lies in watching that chunk of rock go up, pause, then fall as perfect punctuation to WEC’s failure. If you watch the later versions (post-Chuck Jones), the humor is mostly slapstick, but the originals had that beautifully timed reckoning with the forces of gravity, momentum, and inertia.
Anyone want to bet the ‘Harris Voter’ doesn’t have a daughter (or a wife)?
@Rafi, who said:
I’d say it’s way more likely that it is either a.) they have a wife that is “liberated” and who browbeat all these talking points into them, or that b.) they have a wife and daughter who’ll wind up either in a shelter for abused women or buried somewhere obscure, out in the forest.
The one thing I’ve noted about these leftoid freak types is this: The men are usually abusers (see Ira Einhorn for an actual historical example) and the women are generally either enthusiastic co-dependents or abusers themselves. Marion Zimmer Bradley and her husband Walter Breen are excellent examples of the type.
I honestly cannot remember ever running into any of these people who didn’t demonstrate some form of mental illness or deficiency… Even back in school; the politically active leftoid types were all failed children on their way to being failed adults. They had few friends, fewer actual relationships with the opposite sex, and were universally shunned as being weirdoes that nobody could stand to spend much time around.
He did seem to be struggling with some very basic realities. Things that we, as a society, used to understand.
I imagine much of his difficulty lies in the need to be seen holding fashionable and therefore statusful opinions, as determined by his peer group, and the illogical nature of the opinions currently in fashion. He wants to be seen as being “inclusive,” as he puts it, even though the consequent position is fundamentally incoherent. And so we get the pinhead dance. According to which, men have every right to enter women’s changing rooms, and women who object can… er, choose not to use them.
And the whiff of self-satisfaction probably doesn’t help.
Maddening as Mr Harris Voter was – at times, the evasion was quite hypnotic – I thought the exchange was quite revealing. It does show the contortions required of the type, and the eagerness with which those contortions are performed. It also suggests that it would be unwise to rely on such creatures.
Ladies, they’ll sell you out in a heartbeat.
Gaahhh. I could only stomach 10 minutes of that infuriating “Harris Voter.”
I wish he was on camera so his face was readily identifiable and could be posted on the inside of every women’s restroom and locker room in his neighborhood. He’s well on the way (if not already there) to being a predator.
I think we’ll give that one a post of its own. Comments that-a-way.
Note that “outsmarting himself” is a subset of “hubris meets nemesis”, which is an ancient theme and which usually has nothing to do with intelligence but rather with power.
Mia Hughes parses the woo of “gender-affirming medicine”:
The phrase “psychiatry gone mad” is used.
Power. Maybe not in a broad geo or even local political context but power over those around them and power over their immediate environment. Under normal circumstances they would not be able to achieve it. But our society being so insanely wealthy can afford to ignore them. Throw them some crumbs, use them to throw others under the bus for the those ‘normal’ people’s own desires for power. And it works because the truly normal people just accept it.
It’s about more than a squirrel.
Willie Brown concurs.
Is that mattress for sale?
Heh. I’m sure those, um, stains will just brush out. A damp sponging should do it.
They are demonstrating to the public that they can do anything they want to anyone they choose at any time, and citizens will have no recourse. The KGB did this a lot for that very reason.
I recall reading reports years ago about discount mattress sellers who would take horribly stained and contaminated mattresses, wrap them in new covers, and sell them as new.
The store, since you ask, sells “lingerie, PVC,” and other, um, items. Oddly, what caught my eye was the mention of magazines and DVDs.
Which seems almost quaint.
Band name.
Much is made clear if you look up “Jennifer Pritzker.”
It turns out that “non-binary” people have uncanny superpowers.
