Today’s Politically Incorrect Lump Under the Rug
https://www.ericpetersautos.com/2019/02/05/todays-politically-incorrect-lump-under-the-rug/
By eric - February 5, 2019
We are told men and women are equal. This is not only preposterous, but obviously preposterous.
Yet we pretend otherwise, for the sake of social conformity – which is becoming not merely a matter of general Babbittry but essential to obtaining and retaining employment.
The nation – the nation’s men – must keep their heads down and mumble the required pieties.
But unequal is not the same as better – and worse. Which is the duality Feminism wishes to impute to the term, because it encourages women to to feel victimized – and men to feel guilty.
There’s power to be mined. And misery to be imposed.
Men and women are different – and that is a form of inequality, certainly. But it is not a pernicious one, unless one takes the view that nature should have made us all identical (and so literally equal) which would be exceptionally boring.
A human ant hill would be the result – which is actually desired in certain ugly corners of the postmodern world. But not by psychologically normal people, or those who aspire to it.
The differences between the sexes are what makes it all so interesting – for both sexes.
Men, for one, cannot have children and so obtain meaning in caring for those who can have them – women. And in the work which makes this possible. For which we are better adapted by nature than women.
Example: I’m middle-aged and no longer in my prime but I can still cut and split four cords of wood for heating the house in winter. How many women at the peak of their physical power could do the same? Could cut/split a single cord?
I doubt one out of 100, if that many. Even at 25.
Most 45-year-old men can – or at least could.
It’s just one example, but makes the point.
Male bodies are built stronger, can take more physical damage. Bear more burdens. Not politically correct, but fact regardless.
No man, however, can bear a child. Only women can do that. It is nothing less than a miracle – and it is also what defines a woman relative to a man. She is the bearer of life, of the continuity of humanity.
The man, at most, can protect and provide.
Men and women are not equal because they are not the same – and thank god for it!
The fatuity that they are essentially interchangeable “genders” and “equal” in terms of capacities must be thrown in the Woods, as a first step. They are no more equal – that is to say, no more the same – as an oak tree and a pine tree, though both are trees and each have their respective strengths and weaknesses.
A man is generally, inherently superior in some ways – just as a woman is generally, inherently superior in other ways.
They differ in terms of inclinations and temperament as well as physicality. Women tend to be more risk-averse by nature, which is entirely natural given their physical weakness and vulnerability relative to men; this manifests, positively, in caution and protectiveness and solicitude toward children – a valuable trait and counter to the risk-taking tendencies of men, which are also good and sex-specific.
Together, the two balance each other – creating a whole that is stronger and better than each on its own.
Men need women for balance as much as women need men for it.
And kids need that, too. A man to encourage independent action (which is a form of risk-taking) and a woman to encourage appropriate caution.
Without one – or the other – you end up with imbalances.
What do most men want from a woman? Let’s be blunt. They want female softness. Not just sex, though that is a big component of it.
But fundamentally, they want the things which make a woman not a man – and which other men cannot provide.
Just as a woman – most women – naturally want a man who is not a woman who happens to have male equipment.
Feminism has largely destroyed this natural interplay between the sexes, by programming women to emulate male roles and attitudes such that men increasingly find such women less and less appealing – at least as potential wives and mothers. I italicize to make the politically incorrect point. Men want wives – and mothers for their kids. Not “partners” – a business term, which is precisely what feminism has turned marriage into.
Meanwhile, feminism has also made it easy for men to get sex whenever they want it – without commitment. And so, they do get it. This isn’t just the “milk and cow” line; it’s much deeper than that. Men shy away from marriage and commitment in the postmodern world because feminism has made it unappealing and dangerous – financially and emotionally.
But because they can easily get sex without the rest, they do.
Men get the better of this deal because – again – men and women are different.
A woman’s initial appeal to a man is her youthful appearance and implied ability to have children. As she ages, she becomes less initially desirable – and thus most men will focus on her younger rivals.
After 40, a single woman’s “partnering” options are (in most cases) hugely limited vs. what they were when she was 30 or 25.
By 50 she is effectively off the market – in the “Whoohoo!” (discounted/day-old ) bakery bin.
But a man in his 40s or 50s can still select from an almost endless menu of much younger women – because a man in his 40s or 50s is just as capable of fathering children as he was in his 20s and probably more capable of protecting and providing for them, which makes his appealing to women younger than himself.
Men will go for younger women for the same reason that anyone who doesn’t have to shop at Goodwill won’t. A man in his 40s or 50s will stick with the same-age woman he married when he was in his 20s or 30s. But if she leaves him, he’s not likely going to date a same-age woman if he can get a much younger one.
Because he doesn’t have to. Because he hasn’t got 20 years’ investment in the hypothetical same-age woman and thus, no counter to ameliorate the biological facts of age on women – and the freedom to avoid them.
This of course drives the older women who bought into the Feminist lie to spittle-spewing fury – but what did they think would happen? Feminism has pathologized normal sex differences – and appeal. It’s not good for men, but it’s worse for women.
Biologically, financially, physically.
All of the above is obvious – yet it’s been stuffed under the politically correct throw rug and everyone’s supposed to pretend they don’t see the lump.
But we trip over it, regardless.

Police: Former NBA Exec Joked That He ‘Hid the Steak Knives’ from Wife Weeks Before She Stabbed Him to Death
https://www.breitbart.com/sports/20...m-wife-weeks-before-she-stabbed-him-to-death/
8 Feb 2019

Former Memphis Grizzlies executive Michael Redlick, was found stabbed to death in his home on January 11. Police have charged his wife with murder. However, in an eerie foreshadowing of future events, Redlick had joked weeks before that he had to “hide the steak knives” from his wife.
A police investigation revealed the troubled relationship between Redlick and his wife, Danielle. There were constant and open spats, and witnesses even told police that Redlick had been prone to saying his wife was “crazy, but as long as I hide the steak knives everything will be fine,” the Washington Post reported.
One Redlick acquaintance even reportedly told police that the former NBA exec had plied the “hide the knives” joke only a few weeks before his death.
By January 11 police came upon a chaotic and grisly scene after the 45-year-old Danielle had called the police to report a “tragedy” at the couple’s Winter Park, Florida, home.
According to the Post, police discovered Redlick’s car had been covered with raw eggs. But inside things turned more serious when officers discovered a bloody mop, a pile of stained towels, a pool of water streaked with blood, and the stench of bleach in the air.
A police report says that Danielle was found in a “disheveled” state and insisted that her husband had somehow stabbed himself to death. But that was only one tale Danielle allegedly told officers that day.
At first, Danielle reportedly told authorities that her husband had a heart attack. “He’s stiff, and he might have had a heart attack. I don’t know,” she said during a 911 call. But then she claimed that he had forcibly taken a butcher knife from her hand and began stabbing himself. Then she admitted that the incident happened 11 hours before her 911 call.
Police also reported finding that during that 11-hour lag time, Danielle had been checking messages and spent time on the dating app MeetMindful, according to her phone records, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
Danielle had filed for divorce last March, but the petition was thrown out by a judge in November because her husband had not been properly served with divorce papers. It seems Michael thought they were working toward reconciliation and had recently moved back into their Winter Park home.
After her arrest, police transported Danielle to a hospital because she tried to harm herself and reportedly had alcohol in her system.
The alcohol is a violation of her probation from a January 2018 charge of resisting an officer without violence and disorderly conduct.
Danielle Redlick now faces charges of second-degree murder and tampering with physical evidence and is being held without bond.

1. Threaten to get him deported?
I just imagined using that one on Mr A.2. Do people still have pagers?

Prof. Starr's research shows large unexplained gender disparities in federal criminal cases
If you're a criminal defendant, it may help—a lot—to be a woman. At least, that's what Prof. Sonja Starr's research on federal criminal cases suggests. Prof. Starr's recent paper, "Estimating Gender Disparities in Federal Criminal Cases," looks closely at a large dataset of federal cases, and reveals some significant findings. After controlling for the arrest offense, criminal history, and other prior characteristics, "men receive 63% longer sentences on average than women do," and "[w]omen are…twice as likely to avoid incarceration if convicted." This gender gap is about six times as large as the racial disparity that Prof. Starr found in another recent paper.
There are other studies that have shown gender disparity in criminal cases, but not as pronounced as Prof. Starr's findings. This is because she is looking at "a larger swath of the criminal justice process" in her analysis, she said. The paper states, "Existing studies have typically focused on single stages of the criminal process in isolation"—in particular, the judge's final sentencing decision. These studies compare actual sentencing outcomes after controlling for the recommended sentence associated with the defendant's ultimate conviction. The problem with this, Starr explains, is that "the key control variable is itself the result of a host of discretionary decisions made earlier in the justice process"—including prosecutors' charging and plea-bargaining decisions. Starr's research incorporates disparities found at those earlier stages, and finds that "more disparity is introduced at each phase of the justice process."
After estimating the amount of disparity left unexplained by the arrest offense and other control variables, the paper explores "why these gaps exist—and, in particular, whether unobserved differences between men and women might justify them." Prof. Starr explores several potential mitigating factors, such as the "girlfriend theory" (that "[w]omen might be viewed as…mere accessories of their male romantic partners"), the role of women as primary caregivers to their children, and the "theory that female defendants receive leniency because they are more cooperative with the government." Although each of these theories found some support in the data, they did not appear capable of explaining anything close to the total disparity that Prof. Starr found.
Prof. Starr emphasized that it is not possible to "prove" gender discrimination with data like hers, because it is always possible that two seemingly similar cases could differ in ways not captured by the data. Given the size of the apparent gender gap and the richness of the dataset (which allowed many alternative explanations to be explored), however, Starr believes that there is "pretty good reason to suspect that disparate treatment may be one of the causes of this gap."
If men and women are being treated differently by prosecutors and judges, what should be done about it? Prof. Starr leaves that question to policymakers, but she does note that the solution "is not necessarily to lock up a lot more women, but perhaps to reconsider the decision-making criteria that are applied to men. About one in every fifty American men is currently behind bars, and we could think about gender disparity as perhaps being a key dimension of that problem."

Female Bank Robbery Suspect Also Convicted on Bestiality Charges
https://www.breitbart.com/crime/2019/02/20/female-bank-robbery-suspect-convicted-bestiality/
20 Feb 2019
A woman arrested and accused of robbing an Ohio bank has been found to have a conviction of bestiality for sexually molesting her dog, a report says.
Warren, Ohio, resident Amber Finney, 35, was arrested and charged with robbing an area Chase bank, according to WKBN-TV.
After her arrest, police discovered that she was sentenced to 60 days in jail for bestiality in 2017. Police also reported that Finney is on probation for that conviction.
The bank robbery suspect was convicted of sexually abusing her dog after police were alerted to a video showing her molesting the dog.
During the investigation on the earlier case, Finney claimed the video was made after she had been drugged and that she was not a willing participant in the video. A judge did not believe her claims.
The robbery suspect was also arrested last year after making a scene at a Warren business. She was arrested for being a public nuisance and also charged with having drug paraphernalia as well as other charges. Police said she initially refused to properly identify herself during that arrest.
Finney will be arraigned Thursday on the robbery charge and is currently being held in the Trumbull County Jail without bond.
