"When you take into account the entire world, feminists have a point about 80% of the time."

While here in America they have a point ZERO percent of the time.

Great column.

Yeah, this piece was off the rails from the very start.

The label "Stepford wife" is usually applied to a woman who seems to conform blindly to an old-fashioned subservient role in relationship to her husband, compared to other, presumably more independent women. It can also be used to criticize any person, male or female, who submits meekly to authority and/or abuse; or even to describe someone who lives in a robotic, conformist manner without giving offense to anyone.

Far too many Americans – women AND men – are conformists and subservient. Since 9/11 any American who submits meekly to authority is living a Stepfordian Life.

What women want AND what men want are not what the government wants! Conform or be damned!

Newsflash: organized society is all about submitting to authorities, one way or another.

Don't like it, go to solitary exile.

Actually, that's not what organized society is about at all. Blind Submission vs. Solitary Exile are two extremes, and they do not exhaust the alternatives.

False.
Labour division, i. e. organized society's fundamental premise is there are people who tell and there are people who do what they are told.
People who deny this just want to sell you something.

No. Not false!

You're being very, very simplistic.

I'll say it again:

That's not what society is about.

An aspect of that is a necessary mechanism - a byproduct - ideally based on consensus, not merely on "tellers" and "doers," as those categories are fluid for the individual, depending on circumstances and variables, but it's not about that.

Again, Blind Compliance vs. Solitary Exile is a false choice, no matter what last semester's Politics professor drilled into your head.

Politically Correct doesn't just come from professors. If you don't conform you're on your way to being labelled as having 'mental health issues' Nuts, crazy , a candidate for a free drug induced bliss.

Thank you for telling him Boris, so I don't have to do so.

You are incredibly naive.

There is no consenus between elites and disorganized mobs, only between elites that rule mobs.

There is no "will of the people" or "social contract", these are just rhetorical sleight-of-hands meant to create desirable responses from the audience.

But isn't virtually every human in a free society doing the telling in some instances, and doing what they are told in others, and don't virtually all human beings move from one to the other as they gain age, experience, notoriety?

Nope. He was simply a dishonest demagogue.

Assertions of "rights" are simply an assertion of the dominant view about "rights".

Which can and will be the will of the tyrant.

So is reality.

maybe you are a nihilist. Please be proud about it.

The left hand side of the bell curve submits to the right hand side.

Whatever compliance one may observe with some Americans is nothing compared to the kind you'll find in places like Canada and Europe.

No, I think we're rapidly approaching the level of subservience to the government, and to "acceptable" viewpoints, which one observes in Europe and Canada. The USA isn't so different anymore....

Not for some of us and a lot of people I know.

Mark Steyn doesn't want Americans to rise up and take their foreign policy back from the Zionist Neocons. He wants silent subservience.

Agreed and well said. Plus too many American militia patriots do the knee jerk reaction to take the side of any agribusiness owner/rancher like Cliven Burdy (think that was his name) who insisted he had the right to ranch 10,000 acres and hire as many sub minimum wage slave illegal aliens as he wanted Cliven said these illegals were "Spanish" and had superior work ethic, superior family values to White Americans.

White Americans are apparently to spoiled and lazy these days to volunteer as slaves.

Especially when the authority(ies) are government officials putting femitwit whines into action as government policy.

Bullseye in the last paragraph McInnes. You may now remove the dunce's hat and leave the stool in the corner. More of this and less of the other bilge, if you please. Carry on.

"What women want". Who cares? They don't know what they want. I'll just invent something and convince her she wants it.

Convincing her she wants to make you a sandwich is the path to a better world.

“Convincing her she wants to make you a sandwich is the path to a better world.”

Psychologists say it is easy for a “needy” man to convince a woman to do almost anything for him because it appeals to her inner “mother”. As Pentti Linkola, the prominent thinker from Finland, has stated in his essay, Women as Protectors of Life, that the "soul of a man, beneath its rough surface, is paradoxically more sensitive, fragile and weak than that of a woman."

Far be it from me to differ with a "prominent thinker from Finland" named Pentti Linkola, who clearly has too much time on his hands.

I thought Pentti was a woman's name. Maybe having it made him homo.

oscar the grouch says all sorts of shit and no one listens to him.

sandwich...with a bit of tongue.

Are you talking hair pie?

She'll feel entitled to half of what you invented right from the start. Then she'll sue for a spot on your Board of Directors after which she'll crow about being the "first woman" to hold such a groundbreaking position.

Not if you are banging her proper.

Always nice to see a fellow Red Pill around here.

There is a study done in the US claiming that women need male's sperms to be whole and happy. If they don't get it, they will turn sick, bitchy and super cranky.

Cast off victimhood and you'll be free.

Tell that to the courts.

I was thinking that she looks pretty good--especially for 58. Then I read that she's married to an Iranian plastic surgeon. Maybe she's had some work done, but if so, that's what GOOD cosmetic surgery can do. To me, she looks even better than she did when she was younger.

Especially for 58?!! What is a 58 year old woman supposed to look like? Yes, while very attractive (enhancements included), slender is no longer valid. It seems Ms. Davis has gained at least 50 lbs in her face alone. Not that there's anything wrong with that...Meow

From that photo accompanying this article? Wow! I'm stunned. You now think plastic surgery looks normal/good. She might look OK in another photo, but that is scary

Mr. McInnes forgot to mention that Gena Davis is a member of Mensa, a social organization whose members are in the top 2% of intelligence as measured by an IQ test entrance exam.

http://www.us.mensa.org/rea...

Or that she is a women's Olympics archery team semi finalist.

“Despite taking up archery a little more than two years ago, Davis finished 29th among the 300 women at in the national championships July 12 to 16 in Oxford, Ohio. She and the others in the top 32 qualified for the United States Olympic trials semifinals Aug. 22 to 24 in Bloomfield, N.J.

I hear Stalin was pretty smart, and a good archer too. <rolls eyes="" at="" faulty="" logic="">

And that means?????

Means? That IQ measured intelligence used to cull the smartest from the rest of the herd is no guarantee…scratch the surface of any Mensa member and you find faults and fixations that puts their IQ result into question.

Mensa? Back in the 1970s I was persuaded to apply, qualified, and joined. I found their active members were pretentious, or very loopy, or both. After about three years I let my membership lapse. After climbing a peak, the sensible person does not insist on remaining up there, but comes back down to the valley where the food is.

My guess is that slightly better than half the Taki Regulars would qualify for mensa without breaking a sweat.

The other half would qualify for Densa.
