The Future Is Female

The Future Is Female Traditional male jobs have been vanishing by the millions over the decades.

Yawn.

But for my own far more fabulous analysis of the siutation see, ... 15% More Women Than Men Required

Women Should Pay Less Tax

.

Women Should Pay Less Tax Normally, free-marketeers and those who are worried about the efficiency costs of taxation are in opposite camps from those social activists who believe you need extensive government intervention to achieve a range of social goals. Here is a policy proposal that should make the two camps agree: reduce income taxes on women and increase, by less, income taxes on men.

In conclusion: would it be unfair for the fiscal authority to treat women and men differently? We do not believe so.

Women Resented In The Military

Women Resented In The Military.

'Most military jobs are open to women - and they have earned respect within the forces for their professionalism' (Daily Mail headline).

A soldier replies, ...

I've heard many such comments and I'm afraid to say it is simply not true. The truth is that the presence of women is bitterly resented by the vast majority of men in the Armed Forces. I know this having served myself for seven years.
Life in the army in particular is often a very harsh existence and all too often the women are just not strong enough. I have seen female radio operators unable to erect a radio mast unaided - a vital part of the job. This is just one example.
Furthermore, when on operations, the men become instinctively protective of the women and this is an extra burden they do not need. The inevitable sexual relations causing jealousy, fights, broken marriages etc. do nothing for morale and effectiveness either.
The situation is made much worse when good soldiers are passed over for promotion so that a certain number of women can gain a stripe in order to fill the PC quotas.
However much people would wish it to be so, the men do not respect the female service personnel. They resent their presence deeply and bitterly.

Nappy-Headed Hos - Part 2! - Patrick Buchanan

Nappy-Headed Hos - Part 2!

Are we really a better country because, after he was publicly whipped for 10 days as the worst kind of racist, with whom no decent person could associate, he was thrown off the air? Patrick Buchanan

... when Imus called the Rutgers women's basketball team "tattooed ... nappy-headed ho's," he went over the top. The women deserved an apology. ... But Imus did apologize, again and again and again.

And lest we forget, these are athletes in their prime, the same age as young women in Iraq.

They are not 5-year-old girls, and they are capable of brushing off an ignorant comment by a talk-show host who does not know them, or anything about them.

... Compare, if you will, what was done to them – a single nasty insult – to the savage slanders for weeks on end of the Duke lacrosse team ...

Suicide Of The West

.

Suicide Of The West Remove the threat of Islam, remove the threat of Marxism, even remove the threat posed by the process of cultural breakdown per se, and the West is still on a rapid course to suicide. It's a very simple biological reality: Western people are not having enough children.

Unemployed Mothers Need Free Childcare

.

Unemployed Mothers Need Free Childcare Stay-at-home mothers on benefits should be given 20 hours of free childcare a week to ensure that their children receive the best start in life and are ready for school by the time that they turn five, a controversial report will recommend today.

Yes indeed. Unemployed mothers should not even be expected to look after their own children!

Indeed, they should be able to sit at home painting their fingernails all day while watching the TV and chatting to their friends.

And then, of course, they can pop over to the beauty salon to have their aching muscles soothed - all paid for by you!

Unemployed single parents are receiving free massages and beauty treatments - paid for by taxpayers.

Deaf black lesbian accused of chainsaw murder

Deaf black lesbian accused of chainsaw murder

The trial in South Dakota of a deaf, black lesbian accused of murdering a rival and dismembering her with a chainsaw has shocked the rural midwestern US state.
Daphne Wright, 43, could become the first woman sentto death row in South Dakota, which has not executed a prisoner in more than 60 years.
Wright is accused of kidnapping and murdering a heterosexual deaf woman, Darlene Vander Giesen, 42,whom she thought was spending too much time with her girlfriend.
Emotional testimony and gruesome exhibits filled the first week of her trial, and worse is to come:prosecutors are expected to show jurors a video of a pig being dismembered with the same type of chainsaw Wright bought two days after Vander Giesen disappeared.
Vander Giesen's mother sobbed and stepped out of the courtroom as jurors passed around her daughter's charred brassiere on Thursday.
But she managed to sit stoically as a maintenance worker described finding her daughter's head and navel wrapped in bags and bed sheets that other witnesses linked to Wright.
Flecks of Vander Giesen's bone and tissue were found hidden under a coat of fresh paint in Wright's basement, where the smell of petrol lingered days after Vander Giesen's charred remains were left in a nearby dumpster and in a steep ravine 30 kilometres away, police testified.
Prosecutors said a vengeful Wright persuaded VanderGiesen to meet her and to enter her car on February 1, 2006. Wright then killed her with either a blow to the head or by suffocation, according to prosecutors.
After two days spent scrounging up money to buy a chainsaw, Wright chopped up the body at the knees and navel and disposed of the pieces, prosecutor Dave Nelson said in opening statements last week.
"The reason for this murder? Jealousy," he told jurors.
Police were led to Wright after Vander Giesen's sister showed them several insulting emails Wright had sent to her rival a week before she disappeared.
Wright acknowledged to police that she thought VanderGiesen was trying to destroy her relationship with girlfriend Sallie Collins, but said theyre conciled after a confrontation.
She denied harming the woman, though her story changed several times while talking to police.
Public defender Traci Smith told jurors the state had no evidence that Wright kidnapped or murdered VanderGiesen, and said police had failed to follow leads pointing to other suspects.
She said the emails were not evidence of a motive for the horrific slaying.
The messages, which Wright admitted signing with a pseudonym, described Vander Giesen as ugly, stupid, fat and a troublemaker, and asked her to stay away from the apartments where Collins lived.
"These childish words have been spun into the death threat," Smith said in opening statements.
Vander Giesen was reported missing on February 3, 2006,after she failed to show up at work for two days and police learned that her truck had not moved from a Pizza Hut parking lot.
Her parents drove that day from Iowa to her Sioux Falls apartment. There they were joined and comforted the following day by several of their daughter's friends, including Collins and Wright.
On the first day of testimony, Dee Vander Giesen told jurors about her brief encounter with her daughter's alleged killer.
"She came to me and told me who she was. She gave me a hug, and she said she was sorry that Darlene was missing, that they were friends and she would be praying that we would find Darlene soon," she said.
Nearly six weeks would pass before the last pieces of her daughter's body would be found.
Circuit Judge Brad Zell denied attempts by the defence to exclude that testimony, as well as photographs of Vander Giesen's remains and all testimony regarding dismemberment.
The defence has questioned the fairness of the trial because no one in the pool of 150 perspective jurors was African-American.
Just 1.5 per cent of Minnehaha County residents are black.

"Nappy-Headed Hos"

"Nappy-Headed Hos"

NEW YORK (AP) -- Don Imus' morning talk show will be suspended from CBS Radio and MSNBC for two weeks following protests about his reference to members of the Rutgers women's basketball team as "nappy-headed hos," both networks said Monday.
MSNBC, which telecasts the radio show, said Imus' expressions of regret and embarrassment, coupled with his stated dedication to changing the show's discourse, made it believe suspension was the appropriate response.
"Our future relationship with Imus is contingent on his ability to live up to his word," the network said.
The suspension begins next Monday.
Imus, who has made a career of cranky insults in the morning, was fighting for his job following the joke that by his own admission went "way too far." He continued to apologize Monday, both on his show and on a syndicated radio program hosted by the Rev. Al Sharpton, who is among several black leaders demanding his ouster.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson said that Imus' suspensions would not halt the protests.
"This is a two-week cooling off period," Jackson said. "It does not challenge the character of the show, its political impact, or the impact that these comments have had on our society."
Imus could be in real danger if the outcry causes advertisers to shy away from him, said Tom Taylor, editor of the trade publication Inside Radio. The National Organization for Women is also seeking Imus' ouster.
Imus isn't the most popular radio talk-show host -- the trade publication Talkers ranks him the 14th most influential -- but his audience is heavy on the political and media elite that advertisers pay a premium to reach. Authors, journalists and politicians are frequent guests -- and targets for insults.
He has urged critics to recognize that his show is a comedy that spreads insults broadly. Imus or his cast have called Colin Powell a "weasel," New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson a "fat sissy" and referred to Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell of Colorado, an American Indian, as "the guy from `F Troop."' He and his colleagues also called the New York Knicks a group of "chest-thumping pimps."
On Sharpton's program Monday, Imus said that "our agenda is to be funny and sometimes we go too far. And this time we went way too far."
Imus made his remark the day after the Rutgers team, which includes eight black women, lost the NCAA women's championship game to Tennessee. He was speaking with producer Bernard McGuirk and said "that's some rough girls from Rutgers. Man, they got tattoos ..."
"Some hardcore hos," McGuirk said.
"That's some nappy-headed hos there, I'm going to tell you that," Imus said.
The Rutgers comment has struck a chord, in part, because it was aimed at a group of young women at the pinnacle of athletic success. It also came in a different public atmosphere following the Michael Richards and Mel Gibson comments, said Eric Deggans, columnist for the St. Petersburg Times and chairman of the media monitoring committee of the National Association of Black Journalists. The NABJ's governing board, which doesn't include Deggans, wants Imus canned.
"This may be the first time where he's done something like this in the YouTube era," Deggans said. Viewers can quickly see clips of Imus' remarks, not allowing him to redefine their context, he said.
On his show Monday, Imus called himself "a good person" who made a bad mistake.
"Here's what I've learned: that you can't make fun of everybody, because some people don't deserve it," he said. "And because the climate on this program has been what it's been for 30 years doesn't mean that it has to be that way for the next five years or whatever because that has to change, and I understand that."
New Jersey Gov. Jon S. Corzine spoke to Rutgers players Monday and said later that he strongly condemned Imus' words. Only the Rutgers players can decide to accept his apology, Corzine said.
Rutgers players said they planned to make a public statement on Tuesday.
Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain, whose presidential candidacy has been backed by Imus on the air, said he would still appear on Imus' program.
"He has apologized," McCain said. "He said that he is deeply sorry. I'm a great believer in redemption."
Baseball star Cal Ripken Jr., who was to appear on Imus' show later this week to promote a book, has canceled his appearance, according to the Washington Times.
Imus' radio show originates from WFAN in New York City and is syndicated nationally by Westwood One, both of which are managed by CBS. The show reached an estimated 361,000 viewers on MSNBC in the first three months of the year, up 39 percent from last year. That's the best competitive position it has ever achieved against CNN (372,000 viewers).
Imus' fate could ultimately rest with two of the nation's most prominent media executives: CBS Corp. chief Leslie Moonves and Jeff Zucker, head of NBC Universal.
"He will survive it if he stops apologizing so much," said Michael Harrison, publisher of Talkers. Imus clearly seems under corporate pressure to make amends, but he's nearly reached the point where he is alienating the fans who appreciate his grumpy outrageousness.
Even if he were to be fired, he's likely to land elsewhere in radio, Harrison said.
Julian Bond, chairman of the NAACP board of directors, said it is "past time his employers took him off the air."
Imus was mostly contrite in his appearance with Sharpton, although the activist did not change his opinion that Imus should lose his job. At one point Imus seemed incredulous at Sharpton's suggestion that he might walk away from the incident unscathed.
"Unscathed?" Imus said. "How do you think I'm unscathed by this? Don't you think I'm humiliated?"
