This fits in quite expectedly with something people assured me “wasn’t happening.” That is, as society has become more prudish and so-called “feminists” vehemently insist on being treated like children, feminism has begun to be about re-enforcing a form of patriarchy enacted voluntarily by women where they are returned to child-like status once more.

This is the natural wraparound of conservative notions of femininity and feminine behavior and the “progressive” re-infantilization of women. This recrudescence of stricter paternalism will be embraced aslant by both conservatives and “progressives” as done all in the service of protecting women.

It’s happening now.

I think this is mostly correct. A theory I saw floated elsewhere is that because humans naturally (as in, it is a component of human nature) police one another’s sexualities heavily, since it was no longer permitted to say that gay sex or kinky sex etc. was unacceptable or morally wrong, the “progressives” were now expressing their sexual morality in ways that are easier to quantify. That is, by heavily policing any age gap relationships (even ones as minor as 1-2 years), and any relationship with some “measurable, problematic” power imbalance.

Of course, almost all of that is nonsense, age gap relationships are probably a net benefit — and anyway, why should we police full-ass adults? — while nearly all of the “power imbalance” crap the progs prattle on ceaselessly about is completely fake.

The overarching lesson I think is that humans absolutely are going to attempt to force some sort of sexual morality on one another. We just have to decide how it’ll look. The modern “progressive” implementation of that is no better than the old way and in many ways, it is worse. And worsening all the time.

H1Bye

I kind of suspected that was what was going on with that Microsoft buyout. Since it’s very difficult (especially in this market) for H1Bs to get sponsorship elsewhere, a lot of Americans will leave and the trapped H1Bs will remain, all of whom work for lower wages.

Next year I expect other tech companies to make the same sort of move.

Pure evil.

Hate Right

Inceldom makes people angry not because it’s wrong, or because sometimes one of the incels malfunctions and goes nuts, but rather because inceldom is largely correct about the dating market and its cruelty to most men.

Being right is one of the easiest ways to become despised.

Vanishment

A lot of women have decided they rather liked being treated like children and want to return to those times. And those women have (for now) a lot of power. It won’t last, though. The problem is that you can’t selectively choose when you’ll be treated like a child. Eventually, you will be acted on that way everywhere, and then your power will vanish like a summer vacation.

Censor Relief

On Hacker News, Reddit, and I am sure other places if you even mention “H1B” your comment will be removed and often you’ll be banned.

Because it’s “racist” to use the name of a government program. Alrighty then. This more than anything shows how much pull large corporations have and how much censorship they can coordinate on.

Dog People

This is also my own experience. Every time a dog has jumped on me, or nipped me, even drawn blood, it was in the wake of an owner telling me that their dog is well behaved. Dog owners will often insist that their dog is a good dog immediately *after* it has done something to demonstrate that it is poorly trained.

Yep. In a park one time when I was in the army, a guy’s dog charged me (on leash), but close enough to bite. I had to tell the dude that if the dog tried to bite me, I’d kill it.

He then threatened to “fuck me up.” I said I’d be glad to kill him too after I did his dog. He took the dog and left, muttering obscenities.

I fucking hate dog people.
