Titanic repeat shows that men are still expendable

Greek incident shows "men still considered expendable"

While men and women are supposed to be considered "equal" under the law, no one seemed to think that in the outrage that occurred last week during the Greek cruise ship disaster: the assumed expendability of the male passengers. While most people probably take for granted that a lot has changed since the days of the Titanic, when it comes to Maritime law, everything is still 1912. When the Greek liner went aground and began to sink, the dreaded "women and children first" slogan was announced over the PA, and men were not allowed to disembark before all women had been saved.

Not only is this sentiment purely sexist in its own right, but it pre-supposes
(a) that the lives of women are worth more then the lives of men,
(b) that women must be protected by men and therefore it is the duty of men to give up everything - life, rights, etc.
(c) that all of the children on board will have a female parent/guardian available to take care of them on shore while they wait for male parent/guardian to be released.

This really is a fucking outrage. Its like some woman being told that she may not work at an office.. no, some woman being told she can't abort the baby, naah no way... ah crap I'm thinking of a situation where a woman would actually be asked, no, told to sacrifice her own life for that of someone else, and I can't think of any. Bah.

It is really a fucking outrage that in this day and age of feminism, of ekwaliteeee, and of men and women supposedly marching shoulder-to-shoulder, that as soon as women's lives are in danger, all the gloves come off and men are forced to the back of the line.

It is all a fucking outrageous lie - governments are least interested in actual equality, all they want is to please the female populace - the royal sex - at all costs, since the men will either sacrifice themselves or be forced to, while no one would even dare to ask any woman to sacrifice herself for her man or even her child - remember the rights of the mother always trump the rights of the child if there's a conflict.

The last thing feminists want is actual equality, but we all knew that. Its really infuriating that after being spoonfed the message of sex equality/equity/fuckwittery, we're just told that it was a lie all along, women will always get the lifeboats, men will always get the icy seas, and if you're lucky, you will only have to swim a few hundred yards instead of dying in the water.

There are some people making excuses along the lines of "this was in Greece" and whatnot, but the chilling reality is that whether this happened in the bloody English Channel or the Arctic ocean, the outcome would be the same - hundreds of men will find a watery grave.

And its not the patriarchy that will be holding us back, it will be each other - some man you say hello to while boarding may become a deranged lunatic keeping you away from the lifeboats with a broken bottle, the handsome waiters may be called upon to restrain any man who tries to get on the lifeboats with the royal sex, the cunt that screams "ekwaliteeeeee" on land will hiss and spit at you and shame your entire family if you try and show her how equal-minded and forward-thinking you actually are.

Strilchuk, 16, said she and her friends had no life jackets. When she saw a man clutching one, she pleaded with him to hand it over.
She said she made a fist and punched him in the face when he wouldn't.
"He was holding it and he was 40 years old and we were kids," she explained, adding that she pulled the life jacket from him and gave it to a friend.
Strilchuk said she later punched another man and took his life jacket for herself.

I'm incensed! Talk about a fucking entitled cunt! She fucking told two men that their lives were not as important as hers and her friends!! And mark my words, the only reason the men didn't fucking drop these bitches asses right there, if they weren't chivalrous gentlemen themselves, was because they knew they would get the shit kicked out of them for daring to interfere with the royal sex.

And because they needed to sacrifice a man...

The ship's captain was charged Saturday with causing a shipwreck through negligence, a charge that carries a maximum five-year prison sentence.

The captain was indicted along with the other crew members on blanket charges of causing a shipwreck through negligence, breaching international shipping safety regulations and polluting the environment, the Cyclades islands public prosecution office said.

Wanna bet that all of these crew members facing criminal charges are men?

UK News Roundup

I've been busy installing Ubuntu Linux on my home desktop after giving it a trial run on another computer. It worked fabulously on that other computer, but my main desktop has a blasted ATi video card which has little to no support on Linux.

You know, Linux has come a long way from when I first tried out Red Hat and later, Mandrake. A long long way. Now Live CDs are common, you can play games or surf the net while installing, and its generally very very easy as long as you stay away from installing stuff that is not supported, like Beryl. Oh Beryl. That sweet sweet 3D window manager that Vista and OS X can't hold a candle to. Why won't you run on my pithy little ATi Radeon 9600? Should I throw away the card and run the integrated nForce2 graphics? Will that make you happier?

On to the news...
UK Says No to Megan's Law.

The US law, named after Megan Kanka, 7, who was murdered by a convicted sex offender, gives parents access to names and addresses of known paedophiles.
Instead, the Home Office may allow parents to request information about people left unsupervised with children.

US readers will be familiar with Megan's Law - a male-demonizing crap law that treats fathers looking for some time with their children as worse than murderers and child rapists (female of course). Just recently, there was a huge manhunt launched for a father who kept his daughter for a longer time than the visitation allowed. Rather like a pimp beats up a john who keeps a whore longer than he paid for, police came in to arrest the man who dared to keep his daughter away from her mother - arrested him in a restaurant in full public view, in front of his own flesh and blood. Every time I see an Amber Alert on the highway, I pray that if it is not a criminal being hunted, he escapes persecution. Because it is never a woman. Nope, never. Even when they kidnap their children and the father reports it to the police, it is treated as a non-serious matter. Because after all, the mother is the true parent. The father is just a walking wallet. A mere ATM machine.

'Woman' bomber hits Iraq police.

A suicide bomber reported to be a woman has attacked a police recruiting centre in Iraq, leaving at least 14 dead.
About 20 people were reported to have been wounded in the attack on a large crowd of would-be officers at a centre in Muqdadiya, north-east of Baghdad.

Nothing out of the ordinary here, just an example of how they are 'woman' suicide bombers, not female suicide bombers.

Woman loses final embryo appeal

A woman left infertile after cancer therapy has lost her fight to use embryos fertilised by an ex-partner. Natallie Evans, from Trowbridge, Wilts, and Howard Johnston began IVF treatment in 2001 but he withdrew consent for the embryos to be used after they split up. She turned to the European courts after exhausting the UK legal process.
Ms Evans, 35, said she was "distraught" after the Grand Chamber of the European Court ruling, but Mr Johnston said "common sense had prevailed."
But she and Mr Johnston, who lives in Gloucester, split up in 2002 and he wrote to the clinic asking for the embryos to be destroyed.
Ms Evans took the case to the High Court in 2003 asking to be allowed to use them without Mr Johnston's permission. She has argued he had already consented to their creation, storage and use, and he should not be allowed to change his mind.
Current UK laws require both the man and woman to give consent, and allows either party to withdraw that consent up to the point where the embryos are implanted.

This is the most interesting bit today. So apparently this cunt doesn't want to admit that she waited too long and her disease-ridden body is no place for a baby to grow. Of course, she probably also wanted that sweet sweet child support and council home that is apparently given out free of charge to single mothers, to encourage broken families.

She has the gall to argue that he, being the man, should be held to a higher standard - that he shouldn't be allowed to change his mind - after all, he doesn't have a vagina! And we all know that changing her mind is the woman's prerogative. Fortunately, common sense prevailed. Its too late bitch, try again next life.

Also look at the pictures - the cunt is shown blubbering and emotional, while the man is shown stoic and unmoved - heartless beast, isn't he, you can almost hear the writer think. They even have a bloody video of her reaction!

Blog Blogger Blogged Bloggest

I saw this Maddox article today, and I was struck by how true it is. I've liked Maddox since I discovered him a few years ago, he always strikes a chord with me. Well, most of the time anyway. Its really funny how he takes apart the self-important blogs - the worst offenders are always the huge ones, like many of the famous feminist and/or political blogs.

The problem with this layout is that there's too much shit to click on. Seriously, who's ever going to click on all those links? The worst blogs are the ones that make every other word a hyperlink to another website so by the time you finish reading this sentence, you've forgotten what you were reading, or why you were reading it in the first place. Hey, this article is great but you know what would make it better? If I could read another article in the middle of it. Great design, morons.

If the thousands of mid-sentence links don't annoy you, the long slender columns of text will. Most of the screen on a blog is blank for an imaginary populace of readers still using 640x480 resolution. I didn't buy a 19" monitor to have 50% of its screen realestate pissed away on firing white pixels, you assholes. They don't print books on receipt paper for a reason. Every time I see this layout, I want to choke the creator with my dry, crackled, and bleeding hands for making my fingers so calloused from having to keep scrolling the mouse wheel to read your dumb "blog."

So true, so true. This is why my layout is the only one that spans text across the screen and doesn't outright suck (at least in my eyes).

Anyway, on to the article... http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=banish

Happy Birthday Anon 65!

Anonymous 65 enjoys a cake brought by a lovely senorita...

I got this comment today on the "Rape Rape Rape" article that you can read from the sidebar...

I just came back here by google, and was curious to see this again. Hotshot Shanleigh seems to be 14 years old, and in her opinion is filled with the wisdom of the ages. She called me a misogynist fuck, her words, because I don't agree with her stupid, insane definition of rape. She, a prime misandrist fiend, is an example for those who for unknown reasons believe younger women are better than their misandrist older sisters.

Okay, stupid, let me say this again. When a woman marries, she well knows she is giving blanket consent to sex, or she is committing fraud.

This flippant broad definition of rape to include marital sex if the man forgets to say SIMON SAYS belittles the suffering of women who have experienced real rape.

Don't marry in the US, guys, and don't bring a foreign woman to the States. These fiends are insane. Let this misandrist fiend wallow in her STD's and enjoy her cats.

The Key to Breaking Out

What is the key to breaking out of the cycle of poverty? What is the biggest reason why you can be upwardly mobile these days - going from a lower pay, lower glam-factor job to a higher paying job that puts you a few rungs higher on the social ladder? What is the reason why I'm a well-paid professional these days, from my humble beginnings in a third-world country?

I'm writing this after seeing what The Sharpened Pen wrote on the Honor Network. Saw this on the Honor Network.

The key to breaking out, the key to being upwardly mobile, the key to a life of success that you earn is education.

Today, men aren't being educated. Boys suffer lowered standards, less attention paid to them by teachers, a much higher rate of being labeled retarded, oops "learning disabled," and a higher risk of being put on crack err Ritalin, Adderall or other such drugs. All of this poisoining against boys in the K-12 school system leads to females on the express route to claim more than half of all university degrees - many men enter university with high hopes, but drop out - maybe their one-night stand got pregnant and now is claiming child support, maybe their girlfriend had an "accident" and now he has to provide for three instead of one, maybe he is demoralized by the feminized system of higher education, whatever the reason, men drop out a lot compared to women.

What this leads to is men being only qualified for low-skilled, low-pay jobs in a world where BSs and BAs are like high school diplomas. One group that suffers the most from this is black men - not only have they been fed the gangsta kool-aid, but "acting white" will almost certainly lead to ostracization and ridicule from his peers. Black women on the other hand, are making strides and its common, at least in movies, to see a professional black woman with a black thug. It is a fairly widely-held belief that the African-American population is a crucible for the changes that are going to come into American society as a whole - the welfare phenomenon, the fatherlessness and higher crime, all of these have come into the wider society after infecting the black population first.

Naturally, women want to marry up, and when there are not enough men to marry because all of them have low-paying or low-status jobs, the entire institution of marriage is undermined. Stable marriages are the bedrock of a stable society, and feminism is out to change that.

But forget feminism for a moment. Without an education, a man can not amass wealth easily - he can either get lucky with a business idea or stardom, or he can work hard and somehow break through, but to get a well-paying job, an education is a must. Even if you don't believe in working hard to provide for an ex-wife, you can't deny that money equals a higher quality of life in many ways. Being a college-educated male, you can get a job that is fairly comfortable, lets you work 8 hours a day, leaves you free on the weekends, and gives you enough money to enjoy the weekends and holidays.

With that, Saturday night is over and its time to relish the last day before another work-week. Happy Easter, everybody!

Biological Imperatives

Biology. Genetics. Hormones. All things that we don't really get to decide - none of us do, not the men, not the women - not the blacks, not the whites.

But there's one division - only one group is allowed to use their biology as an excuse, only 52% of the world's population is allowed the use of these Get out of Jail Free cards. Ever noticed how women's biological imperatives are always A-OK? Whether its dumping babies in the trash, gold-digging, murder, acting bitchy on their period or before it, or just being a total bitch, women can always blame it on genetics, evolution, or their hormones.

Now think of a man who doesn't pay child support, who wants to have sex/relationships with only beautiful women, or who displays anger physically. Yeah, not such a pretty picture, is it? Leave alone any violence or aggression towards a woman. Our society and the legal system would feel free to give him an ass-kicking he wouldn't soon forget.

Ever since feminism took hold of the collective consciousness, its been making it as easy as possible for women to "get out of jail free" - look at the woman-only defenses in use at your local courthouse, for example. Only women can get away with murder and be called the victim with excuses like the Battered Women's Syndrome and Postpartum Depression and other such bullshit.

Men? We get to own up full responsibility for our actions. We also get to own up responsibility for any woman around us who needs a convenient scapegoat. This could be your wife, your girlfriend, your mistress, your sister, your mother - it wasn't so long ago that a man was sent to prison in Germany for the crime of incest. Who was he doing this incest with, you ask? His sister, who didn't have to spend a single day in jail. Let me guess, she was the victim, by virtue of her vagina?

This is the heavy stuff - but every day, women are, thanks to a combination of feminism and chivalry, using sexist excuses to get out of the heavy lifting. Had a bad day at work? Well, if you're a man, you can just keep your nose to the grindstone till 5PM, but if you're a woman woe betide any man who questions why you are leaving early.

Having a bad day and just snapped at your co-worker? Well, if you're a man, look forward to polishing up your résumé and/or dealing with assault/harassment charges. If you're a woman, blame it on PMS, the victim, or the color of the walls. Anything will do - men and other women are all too eager to excuse a woman of any responsibility, its in our genes to do so. Chivalry is in our genes. Rather like a pathological strain of some virus which kills you slowly, its in your blood and you can't do a damn thing about it. ♂

Comment from "I can't marry money, sob moan"

I was over at ChristianJ's blog, reading about this woman who spent around $40,000 on cosmetic surgery solely on her face, trying to attract a man - sorry, a rich man.
Anyway, I followed the link to the story and started reading the comments. There were the usual crazy ones, but this one stood out as being the most feminist.

What gets me is how you rarely hear of men making this kind of effort to attract a woman. it also says a lot about how men are very much focused on looks and not the mind of a woman wheras we women often have to make do with very unattractive men physically as rare is the man who takes care of his appearance to the extremes that women are expected to. Very unfair, don't you think?

- Jamie, Luton

What this sad old bitch has missed are the numerous references to Shahnaz's addiction to wealth in the article - the entire article is about a deluded old 41-year old virgin who spent nearly a year's salary (she earns GBP 25,000 a year as a teacher after decades of studying. Wouldn't you know it?) on cosmetic surgery - with nary a boob job or tummy tuck in sight - all for one goal.

What was her stated goal?

She saw herself married to a wealthy and loving man, living in a period detached house, preferably in some leafy road with two children - naturally a boy first, followed by a little girl.

Some more hints?

At the same time Shahnaz says she answered an ad for a therapist to work for a football club, motivating the team. It was there, during her interview, she met Michael for the first time.
"He was a wealthy businessman who was involved in the running of the club. He was more than 20 years older than me but everything I wanted in a partner," she says.

Come on, that's the patriarchy speaking... right?

"My looks didn’t attract the sort of wealthy, intelligent men like Michael. Instead, they were seedy or unintelligent men who thought, mistakenly, that I would be the right woman for them."

I believe that's sufficient proof that this woman is a total privilege princess who believes the world should be handed to her on a platter by the man she chooses for the task.

So this feminist cuntista glosses over the entire article about this vacuous gold-digger and launches straight into a tirade against men - that we have it so easy, that we focus too much on looks, that women have hearts made of gold to "make do" with less attractive men. She could be channelling Andrea Dworkin for all we know.

And this worldview is typically feminine, not to say that it isn't feminist. Feminists have a hard time looking at themselves in the mirror and not thinking "oh i am sooo oppressed today. where did i put my herbal mask made of baby foreskins again? damn patriarchy, always making me forget stuff!"

Women have only themselves to blame for their emphasis on beauty and youth and sexiness and appearing alluring. But hey, I don't care. I get to look at eye candy occasionally so I'm not complaining about all the hot skanks around - even the 40+ ones because unlike women, I can avert my eyes or just simply not care when something offensive, like that Shahnaz Tart falls into my field of vision.

Shock and Horror! A woman is actually held responsible!

Its pretty well-known that the untouchable sex is the female sex - the stereotypes have been with us for hundreds of years, leading to clichés like "the fairer sex," "my better half," "the gentler sex" and so on. The stereotypes are so ingrained in us that even the upholders of justice refuse to arrest and prosecute women - either because they themselves are biased, or because they believe that the rest of the system is biased.

So I was quite surprised that a woman has actually been held responsible for once - check out the biased headline "Husband kills wife's lover; wife charged". The story is cut and dry -

• Caught with lover, the cunt cries rape; valiant husband shoots fleeing (consensual) lover
• Grand jury charges a member of the divine sex with manslaughter
• Luckily, Texas law exonerates those who believe their actions are justified at time
• The bitch has also been charged with making false report to tha police, a charge not nearly enough to encompass her black heart and heinous actions.

I'm sure that in any other set of circumstances, the woman in this case would have been let off scot-free. Hell, she probably would have claimed that her husband was abusive and made him go to jail so she could go off and enjoy her new lover in the marital bed.

However, do note that she has only been indicted - whatever that means, its apparently not very serious, since she hasn't even been arrested yet. Its a long way to conviction, and even if she is convicted, something tells me she'll get even less than the "two to twenty years" this charge carries. Let me guess, she'll get time off for all the years she spent in the marriage since she's a heroine for getting a lover, Bridges of Madison County style?
