I discovered Taki’s during the whole La Affaire Derbyshire at NRO. Good writing there, and I check it a lot now. Goad is one of their better writers too.

"Lifelong morbidly obese bitchy lesbian Roger Ebert"

It was worth it just to read this line.

Unfortunately the title has been the de facto immigration policy of the country in which I live (the UK) for damn near a decade.

Other than that, funny as hell. Surprised I haven’t come across this one on my web travels before.

Without reading who the three white male pundits are, and since they are referring to themselves, I’ll reply: Of course they suck, queers usually do!

Thanks for the read. I don’t know how this flew under my radar, but it is bookmarked now.

Women are nicer than men. And the sooner more of them take positions of power, the better our chances as a species.

The libtard worldview centers on an ideal of family life called the nurturant parent model. Love, empathy and nurturance are primary, and children become responsible, self-disciplined, and self-reliant through being cared for, respected, and caring for others.This ideal is applied to politics with the common understanding of the nation as a family with the government as the nurturing parent.

The nuturant model also sees children as raised by a larger community / village, so daycare is fine. Government as the nanny is a natural fit.

Sounds like three males with white guilt complexes. I feel pity for them. It’s much nicer to be free of guilt, particularly when you don’t deserve it.

I don’t think much of Scalzi.
Read H. Beam Piper’s “Little Fuzzy” then read Scalzi’s “re-imagining.”
That will be all you need to know about him.

Anybody who thinks women are nicer than men is NOT paying attention.
The things women do to each other...

“The libtard worldview centers on an ideal of family life called the nurturant parent model. Love, empathy and nurturance are primary, and children become responsible, self-disciplined, and self-reliant through being cared for, respected, and caring for others”

Over-’nurturing’ kids by being helicopter parents, hovering and attending and building up phony self-esteem based not on accomplishments but merely breathing, and shielding them from real world hurt and harm, does NOT work. Children become unrealistic, narcissistic (if others treat them as oh-so-important, why not think that themselves?), self-absorbed, lack discipline and focus, fail to develop the skills that teach the real hardness of life and how to over come obstacles. I know cases of kids hobbled and ruined for life because such child-rearing mis-educated them.

“This ideal is applied to politics with the common understanding of the nation as a family with the government as the nurturing parent.”
Pony-tailed guy, 1992 debates, ‘nuff said.

I'm NOT a privileged white male. I came from rural north Michigan where we didn't have silver spoons in our mouths, had to work our way out, and don't get affirmative action benefits. Historically, guys like us are used to getting the ass end of the stick anyway going back to Ireland.

I'm also someone with no white guilt, and refuse to be a pussy like most of these pathetic white guilt leftists.

That title could be MSNBC’s motto.

Wtf??!!

All men in America are second class citizens. We are not the class of people with extra protection under the law for being female. We don’t legally have the power to murder another human being just because they are inconvenient to us. Ever been to family - sic - court? Cry your way out of trouble as a grown adult? We can’t have a private club or association just for men without having to have evil motives for wanting it.

Further where is white privilege? White gets you nothing. Your test scores don’t get adjusted like other races. Lower scores from minorities trump higher scores by whites. Where is the special hate crimes laws to protect whites when minorities attack them for being white? Diversity programs - systemic quotas - do not exist for the benefit of whites. Where are our white scholarships? Too little minorities by % population, in a certain area - there must be a racist conspiracy. Too little whites by % population, in an area, no problem.

Gimme a break. The white man is Goldstein.

Guess women don’t mind stereotypes when it makes them appear better.

They are more submissive by nature and this often is passed off as “being nicer”. If you’ve ever heard them talk about their day to their best friend afterwards, you know they aren’t nicer. They just didn’t say what they were thinking at the time.
