2.  More on a recurring theme:  liberal cat-lovers.  Now Obama is exploiting the connection.  When does this jump the shark?  When do we revolt against cats?  Soon I hope.

3.  I don’t know if this is a joke but it does fit the logic of radical feminism.  And, yes, there is a sort of logic behind it.  In Sweden, feminists are taking steps a la Hollaback to curtail poor posture and multiple seat occupation by male transit system users.  Something about how claiming too much space is a veiled threat of violence which is an extension of rape culture.  (h/t Roosh)

4.  A promising bookA Nation of Takers by Nicholas Eberstadt.

5.  From Jezebel via Luke O’Neil’s blog PTSOTL.  An essay from a woman about how she gets hit on when she’s dressed down.  See if you can spot the hipster racism.  Probably more on that later.

    3. Reminds me of this article…

    YDNEY, Australia— Young women in Australia and Sweden have a new cause: They want men to sit down while urinating. This demand comes partly from hygene concerns – avoiding the spalsh factor-but as reported in The Spectator magazine, “more
    crucially because a man standing up to urinate is deemed to be triumphing in his masculinity, and by extension, degrading women”.
    Frieda Nightanvil of Women Arise Australia is gathering pledges from young men to abstain from urinal use and recommends they pour fast drying cement in to urinals around Sydney during the Olympics.
    “We are hoping this will draw the attention of the world’s media to this ongoing fascist symbol of subjugation. This will be the last generation of males who will employ such tactics of oppression as the urinal. But it will be a struggle with the Cave Man mentality that even today is the mindset of too many Australian males”.
    Stockholm University is about to ban urinals on campus, and one Swedish elementary school has already removed them. Some Swedish women are pressuring their men to take a stand, so to speak. Yola, a 25-year old Swedish trainee psychiatrist, says she dumps boyfriends who insist on standing. “What can I do?” said her new boyfriend, Ingvar, who sits.

    C.R.,
    I would say in response to #3. Feminist and seat hogging; they have a small point.

    For the last 60 years people have become more and more ignorant of public manners. As someone who has worked many years in bar security I had to become somewhat of an amateur psychologist. Poster and body language can certainly be aggressive. Women do it very often on public transportation themselves: purse on adjoining seat, head phones on, and nose in a magazine or book all say,”Don’t sit next to me or engage me in anyway.”

    I find of course men, being larger, tend to sit with spread legs and arms draped over the next seat. Seems to me many White men are just oblivious but black guys used to prison and street culture certainly try to exude and air of menace. At least this is my experience from the D.C. Metro to New York Subways.

    “Something about how claiming too much space is a veiled threat of violence which is an extension of rape culture.”

    in other words, the exact kind of male behavior that signals virility and alpha confidence. feminists will never cease in their campaign to remove all restrictions from female sexuality while regulating as much as possible male sexuality. they must be cast out to the archipelago of misfit toys where all the other useless freaks reside.

    I need to start saving these Sweden stories so I can taunt leftist websites with them whenever they start their lovefest over Sweden again.  Did you see those articles in Slate last week, they’ve now resorted to doing articles about the muppet Swedish chef, a bit character from a children’s show that went off the air over 30 years ago. Their boner for Sweden is priapismic by now, one way or another they are determined to keep us thinking about this particular smaller country in Europe long enough to eventually sell us on their social policy.

    No, Slate, I am not taking six months off from my job when my wife has a baby, just so some other woman doesn’t feel I have an unfair advantage in my career. Even if that were allowed. Neither am I using your cooked-up gender neutral pronoun “hen,” or voting for gender quotas in Congress. I don’t give a shit if office workers there go to raves at lunchtime. Shut up about how great everything supposedly is in Sweden.

    Dear Promoting Justice,

    The Swedes were not involved in colonialism. Dumb fucking moron.

    I bet the slouched guys are mostly just drunk (the guy in the vice photo looked it). I’d be an alkie too if I lived in that hellhole. As cold as Antarctica and about the same number of dateable women. I hear guys stationed in Antarctica tend to drink a lot.

    Not everything is a feminist issue, but you can see it that way if you wear glasses that filter in the correct shade of Feminist Fury.

    I would probably refine the cat-lover theory to single-women-craving-families-who-substitute-with-cats. My mom is a big cat lover, but she’s married and has kids. She’s very conservative. I also prefer cats over dogs — Dogs are too needy.

    I thought “Promoting Justice” was a person mocking black logic, now I’ve come to the conclusion that “Promoting Justice” is black and sincere. You can always count on black people to say the dumbest things with the utmost confidence knowing full well they can get away with it because it’s not ok to argue against “poor black people.” White people whether they are English, French, Polish, American, Australian, Greek etc. don’t owe non-white people anything. Do black people understand they were throwing spears naked before white people came into contact with them? Black people only gained from contact with white people. Today, there are approaching 2 billion black people on the planet. The vast majority of those people would not be alive today if it wasn’t for white people bringing medical and farming technology and government to black people.

    From what I can tell, Promoting Justice is trolling anti-racist actually.

  14. Dan 09/05/2012 at 6:18 am

    Do we have to bother refuting anti-racists and promoting justice’s points or can we just shorthand write look at Africa (LAA)…..

    Because that continent is not doing well…..still

    “The Swedes were not involved in colonialism.”
    they had a few colonies, but not many.
