The "womanface" farce

The "womanface" farce




JOSH SLOCUM

The more that feminists complain about “womanface,” the more I think they deserve Dylan Mulvaney.


If you don’t know Dylan, he’s the obnoxious narcissistic young gay man making a fortune pretending to be a “girl” and is currently ruining the brand prospects of products he’s repping such as Bud Light.

The complaint from feminists:

”He’s wearing WOMANface!”

We are supposed to feel the same emotional jolt at that phrase as the one we get when hearing “blackface.” I have two complaints with this. I wonder which one my readers will find more problematic?

1. Women are not born with thick black eyeliner, false lashes, overdrawn lips, “countouring” makeup, lace-front wigs, pre-installed high heels, or falsies.

These are not features of womanhood that are comparable to the actual, physical, black skin being aped by those who wear blackface.

Feminists have long complained about “the patriarchy” “imposing” these sartorial requirements on them. Now they want to claim that’s actually what women’s faces look like?

Also: It’s women who impose these standards on each other to compete with other females. Heterosexual men think the thick-paint look is trashy and ridiculous because it is.

Here’s the real motivation: brand competition. The feminists are angry that makeup men are displacing them on their high rung of the cultural totem pole. They, feminists, need to be seen as constant victims.

This has nothing to do with genuine outrage about genuinely awful aspects of transgender ideology (and those are legion). It’s petty competition and damsel-in-distressing.

2. Blackface has been emotionally super-saturated and inflated into something far worse that it actually is. For the same narcissistic/brand-competition, I’m-the-opressed-est reasons that feminists bellyache about drag.

No black American has lost a movie role at MGM to a white guy in lamp-black for more than 70 years. There haven’t been traveling minstrel shows for even longer.

”Blackface” is, at worst, rude or insensitive.

Stop jumping in emotionally sympathetic horror at these two fake “oppressions.”

Or, at least, stop expecting other people to perform outrage along with you.

There are serious, real-world consequences of actual bigotry, abuse, and boundary-breaking.

These are not it. But they are excellent revealers of the shallow narcissistic motivation behind what pass in 2023 as “liberation” movements.

The Next Step for the World Economic Forum

The Next Step for the World Economic Forum BY  ROGER KOOPS      FEBRUARY 20, 2022 I t has been obvious since early 2020 that there has been an organized cult outreach that has permeated the world as a whole. It’s possible that this formed out of a gigantic error, rooted in a sudden ignorance of cell biology and long experience of public health. It is also possible that a seasonal respiratory virus was deployed by some people as an opportunity to seize power for some other purpose.  Follow the money and influence trails and the latter conclusion is hard to dismiss.  The clues were there early. Even before the WHO declared a pandemic in March 2020 (at least several months behind the actual fact of a pandemic) and before any lockdowns, there were media blitzes talking about the “New Normal” and talk of the “Great Reset” (which was rebranded as “Build Back Better”).  Pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Moderna, and Astra-Zene...

Thanks to CoCoLuv9491 for recommending this video... What the Media Is HIDING About Ukraine/Russia While the mainstream US media chant with one voice for war and to place full responsibility for the Ukraine crisis on Russia, a cursory investigation of NATO’s meddling in Ukraine’s affairs for more than a decade reveals how economic interests of weapons manufacturers and the fossil fuel industry have led to the military conflict we’re experiencing today. Jimmy and The Grayzone’s Aaron Maté ( https://mate.substack.com ) discuss western and NATO complicity in the war between Russia and Ukraine. Source: The Jimmy Dore Show

The State of Emergency, Coercive Medicine, and Academia

The State of Emergency, Coercive Medicine, and Academia by   Maximilian C. Forte "Two weeks to flatten the curve,” is what we heard across Canada 1  just after March 11, 2020, when the World Health Organization unilaterally declared a global “pandemic” according to new criteria developed in 2009 that emphasized transmissibility over lethality. 2  We are now approaching two years of a crisis that is routinely and deceptively blamed on “Covid”. Politicians, public health officials, and the mass media have made persistent pronouncements that tended towards the inflation of grim numbers and the exaggeration of threats. 3 The State of Emergency and its Consequences Building on expanded threat perception, authorities have deliberately promoted fear, induced panic, and created stress. 4  With the public suffering an epidemic of fear bordering on mass psychosis, 5  states have multiplied and escalated the number and types of restrictions, few of which have the supp...
