DC Man who set himself ablaze dies

Two bizarre incidents in Washington DC during the fisrt week of the Federal Government Shutdown precipitated by the Budget/ Debt-Ceiling crisis caught the attention of many this week.

1) An unidentified man set himself ablaze on the Mall outside the Capitol.

We know nothing about him.  He is invisible.  No media outlet wants to uncover some vestige of fact that might help us understand WHY he did this terrible act of violence HIMSELF?

2) Another women puts herself, her child and countless others at potential risk - yet we are absolving her of any responsibilty?

WAIT Damit!  Stephan Molyneux has beat me to it.



UPDATE Oct 12 - Dead man is identified as John Constantino, 64, of Mount Laurel, N.J.

Cruel acid revenge

This is a cruel example of how an acid revenge disfigured this women.  The assault was committed by a young women and I sense it was related to that 7th Cenury religion.

More Canadian Feminist outbursts!

This is getting epic.  

1) Hard on the heels of my last post I have learned that assorted Feminists in the media (notably Tabatha Southey1 at the Globe & Mail and this self-professed lesbian writer at Macleans.) are frothing at the mouth about UofT English Prof David Gilmour for telling his students that:

I’m not interested in teaching books by women. ... when I was given this job I said I would only teach the people that I truly, truly love. What I teach is guys. Serious heterosexual guys. F. Scott Fitzgerald, Chekhov, Tolstoy. Real guy-guys. Henry Miller. Philip Roth.

But of course Barbara Kay defended his right to teach exactly what he wanted to - even though she doesn't care much for him.

2) And then Feminist hotbed York University is up in arms about being called a "Hunting Ground for Sexual Predators!" it has launched a libel suit against Toronto Life magazine.    The irony was not lost on bloggers as it is the kind of thing the Campus Rape Crisis Center has been selling for years - so why the enormous "volt face" and concern that it is being misrepresented now?

Chief Justice of Supreme Court affirms bias for Gender Parity

Continuing the bias that got her where she is today - Bev McLaughlin continues to lobby for "gender parity" rather than merit in Supreme Court appointments.

Canadian Feminists attempt to gain media attention - fail.

Perhaps because they sense their eroding power I was surprised to see TWO items in todays media featuring Feminist ideologues.

1) Removal of phrase "in all our son's command" from our National Anthem "O' Canada" that was changed in 1913 from "in us thou dost command".  This charge was lead by noted writer and feminist Margaret Atwood.   Interestingly - the Quebec french version remains un-challenged.



2) Femen protest at Quebec National Assembly over display of Christian/Catholic crucifix.

Of course it is related to a sad debate about establishing a secular state where  NO evidence of religious symbols are allowed - Christian, Hindu, or any other - so it is even more ironic that this disruption occurred to the left-wing PQ Government hanging by a thread-like seat margin in the provincial legislature.

Do you have a lock on your door?

 Then you are a Rape Apologist!


Or so goes the Feminist "Rape Culture" rhetoric behind Slut Walk.

I thought this YouTube video was a very good discussion of the "straw man" issue.

!Oct 8 UPDATE! - As incredible as it seems, Thunderf00t had to produce a rejoinder to this dead-simple video in order to straighten out some notable feminists (Rebecca Watson should feel lucky to be asked out for coffee if you ask me) and their sympathizers.  

Here it is, entitled "Stay Safe = You Deserve Rape"- and it's even better than the 1st above.

And solve only half the problem

I discovered this image (below) somewhere on AVfM - but can't recall exactly where.

Edmonton women murders husband - was jailed for his assault in 2008

A woman who previously served time in jail for a serious assault on her husband has been charged with second-degree murder in his violent death.

In January 2008, Nyuk Hwang was charged with assault causing bodily harm against her husband, and she was later sentenced to three weeks in jail and two years of probation for the attack. The terms of her probation included taking programming as directed by the courts and her probation officer, including for psychiatric/ psychological, domestic violence, anger management, and marital/parental issues.

"Freemen Movement" being targeted

Last September (2012) Alberta Associate Chief Justice John Rooke delivered a very controversial decision concerning "Self Represented Litigants" (or SRL's) aimed primarily at a group known as Freeman.   It was a scathing criticism of these individuals who the courts feel are mostly there to cause problems and hold up legitimate court proceeding with self-declared legal mumbo-jumbo.

The written judgment (Meads vs Meads) has remained the most searched decision in the online legal database Canlii since release - and continues to be heavily reviewed internationally.

However there has been concern within the SRL community for Family Law that it will lead to unnecessary harassment and abuse  for LEGITIMATE cases.

Liberal Bias

Recently Prof Mike Adams of University of North Carolina responded to criticism that he was the "worst professor in NC" simply for saying that he believed that "marriage is a union between a man and a woman.”   Another Prof demanded that Adams be fired because of his definition of marriage.

He wrote the following in a letter defending  himself.

I’m going to describe the antics of ten professors, official campus groups, and invited campus speakers in North Carolina and let you decide which constitutes the biggest embarrassment to higher education.”

 The ten examples cited were approved forms of free speech in liberal academia.

1. A women’s studies professor and a psychology professor at Western Carolina University co-sponsored in the early spring semester of 2013 a panel on bondage and S&M with the goal “to teach college students how to inflict pain on themselves and others for sexual pleasure.”
2. At UNC Chapel Hill, “a feminist professor believes that women can lead happy lives without men. That’s nothing new. But what’s different is that she thinks women can form lifelong domestic partnerships with dogs and that those relationships will actually be fulfilling enough to replace marital relationships with men.”
3. “At Duke University, feminists hired a ‘sex worker’ (read: prostitute) to speak as part of an event called the Sex Workers Art Show.” I am too embarrassed to repeat what the male prostitute did after his speech. It involved the rectum, a burning sparkler, and the singing of the Star Spangled Banner.
4. “A porn star was once paid to give a speech at UNCG. The topic was ‘safe sodomy.’ After her speech, the feminist pornographer sold autographed butt plugs to students in attendance.”
5. “A few years ago at UNC-Chapel Hill, a feminist group built a large vibrator museum in the middle of the campus quad as part of their ‘orgasm awareness week.’”
6. “A feminist administrator at UNC-Wilmington sponsored a pro-abortion event. During the event they sold tee shirts saying ‘I had an abortion’ to students who… well, had abortions,” a not so subtle way to “encourage students to boast about the fact that they had killed their own children.”
7. “The same UNCW administrator sponsored a workshop teaching students how to appreciate their orgasms.”
8. “A UNCW English professor posted nude pictures of under-aged girls as part of an ‘art exhibit’ in the university library. The Provost then ordered the nude pictures to be moved away from the library and into the university union.” The incensed English professor asked the Faculty Senate to censure the Provost for violating her ‘academic freedom.’ The Faculty Senate sided with the feminist professor. The Provost was later pressured to leave the university.”
9. “A different feminist professor at UNCW accused a male professor of putting tear gas in her office. She was later caught putting her mail in a microwave oven. She did this because she thought people were trying to poison her with anthrax and that the oven would neutralize the toxins. She was not placed on leave for psychiatric reasons. Instead, she was designated as the university’s official ‘counter terrorism’ expert.”
10. “And then there is Mike Adams. He thinks marriage is between a man and a woman, and he is the biggest embarrassment on campus.”
