WHEN SEXUAL HARASSMENT HAPPENS IN A SOCIETY WITH HARDLY ANY MORAL VALUES LEFT

By Zbiegniew Zwgstkstwig
 
As accusations of sexual harassment against men in the workplace continue to grow, there is one element in the discussion that is the elephant in the room:  how the level of morality in American society has dramatically decreased in the post-World War II period - particularly in women. 

Unfortunately many good, decent women are preyed on because of something that is not their fault.   They are the true victims of a massive change in morals that have degraded traditional values in sex, marriage, modesty, and women.
 
Our entertainment and advertising industries keep sinking ever lower in their vulgarity and normalization of depravity.  They send a powerful message, particularly to children, that everything goes. 
 
Modern feminism dictates that women have as much right to promiscuity as men, and to flaunt their bodies by wearing revealing clothes, even to the office.

DO ALL CULTURES HAVE EQUAL VALUE? Controversial article by two academics unleashes much criticism by their peers - The case of professors Larry Alexander and Amy Wax

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  • Hurricanes Harvey and Irma have revealed some surprising facts about American society.  
  • The country was comforted by the solidarity and civic behavior of Texas, where hundreds of volunteers used their own boats to rescue thousands of  people from flooded areas.  
  • Most of those rescuers were white men, a group vilified across university campuses, by the liberal media, feminist culture, and ethnic communities. 
  • On the other hand the media did its best to abstain from reporting on many cases of looting in Texas, Florida and the Caribbean because the perpetrators were people of color.  The few media who posted videos of looters were berated for being insensitive to minorities. 
  • In the Caribbean island of St Marteen, also greatly affected by Hurricane Irma, blacks armed with machetes threatened people and looted anything they could get their hands on, particularly at tourist resorts. 
  • At least eight people were filmed by a local ABC camera crew breaking into Simon's Sportswear in Fort Lauderdale
    The media feels discomfort at these cultural expressions, and so they choose to self-censor. 
  • In the meantime the left continues to denigrate traditional western values, white people - particularly white men - and the culture that western civilization has generated. 
  • The question that these critics never answer is what is their model for a better America.  Is there any country in Africa, Asia, or Latin America that would represent their high ideals for democracy, tolerance, prosperity, respect for the law, and relative peace between different religious and racial groups? 
  • Or are they so driven by hate that they want to destroy our society just for the sake of it? 
  • Behind cultural differences there are two factors at work that influence each other:  institutions and genetics.  Institutions do shape the way we think and behave, and this in turn affects genetics. 
  • Different cultures have evolved separately over thousands of years, and thus they have developed their own genetic differences.  These differences are being identified by the rapid advances in genomics in the past 20 years or so. 
  • There is a genetic difference for degrees in our propensity for aggression, for example, which would explain why some cultures are quicker to anger than others.  This gene has been named and identified.
  • For more on the role of ongoing human evolution read "The 10,000 Year Explosion" by Cochran and Happending, and "A Troublesome Inheritance" by Nicholas Wade.   Both books document the known facts about genetic differences caused by ancient and ongoing human evolution.  The scientific evidence is irrefutable.   Read article on this subject by author Nicholas Wade further down this page. 
  • Two US academics just published a short article on the loss of traditional values, and how this loss is undermining minorities - the same minorities, by the way, that are agitating for the collapse of American society and its values.
  • For daring to publish that article the professors were viciously attacked by their own academic peers.  Watch video with a brief interview by Tucker Carlson, and then read the offending article.

Paying the price for breakdown
 of the country's bourgeois culture

Amy Wax is the Robert Mundheim professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. awax@law.upenn.edu    Larry Alexander is the Warren distinguished professor at the University of San Diego School of Law. larrya@sandiego.edu

Too few Americans are qualified for the jobs available. Male working-age labor-force participation is at Depression-era lows. Opioid abuse is widespread. Homicidal violence plagues inner cities. Almost half of all children are born out of wedlock, and even more are raised by single mothers. Many college students lack basic skills, and high school students rank below those from two dozen other countries.

The causes of these phenomena are multiple and complex, but implicated in these and other maladies is the breakdown of the country’s bourgeois culture.  That culture laid out the script we all were supposed to follow:
  • Get married before you have children and strive to stay married for their sake.
  • Get the education you need for gainful employment, work hard, and avoid idleness.
  • Go the extra mile for your employer or client.
  • Be a patriot, ready to serve the country.
  • Be neighborly, civic-minded, and charitable.
  • Avoid coarse language in public.
  • Be respectful of authority.
  • Eschew substance abuse and crime.

These basic cultural precepts reigned from the late 1940s to the mid-1960s. They could be followed by people of all backgrounds and abilities, especially when backed up by almost universal endorsement. Adherence was a major contributor to the productivity, educational gains, and social coherence of that period.

IS TRANSGENDERING CHILDREN CHILD ABUSE? TOP PSYCHIATRIST TALKS TO TUCKER CARLSON

  • Children and adolescents are not small sized adults.  They are wired differently, and they perceive reality in their own way. 
  • Kids need to daydream
    of beautiful things
    However, when it comes to sex education, school authorities do not respect their stage of mental development and are pushing a nefarious identity politics agenda on their captive audience. 
  • This experiment will end badly for both kids and society.  
  • Most of us were lucky to have had a real childhood.  But today's children are being robbed of their innocence and are sexualized for the sake of teachers' and politicians' social agenda.  That agenda assumes that the more homosexual and transgendered people there are, the more influence they will have on society.
  •  Children are very vulnerable to influence from those in authority.  Many teachers are militant ideologues who have forged a curriculum for the indoctrination of unusual and kinky sexual practices before children have the mental capacity to understand them.  
  •  It is no surprise that some kids get confused and are now claiming to identify with the opposite sex in a similar fantasy world as kids in past generations identified with cowboys, astronauts, or princesses.  
    Magical moments of childhood
  • Adults, who should be there to protect them and guide them, are inflicting even more damage on them by promoting sex reassignment procedures at a very young age, which includes the chemical sterilization of boys and girls.  According to top pediatrician Michelle Cretella, this is child abuse.
  • Incidentally, the province of Ontario, Canada, will remove even little kids from their homes if their parents object to the kids identifying with the opposite sex.
  • The Minister of Children and Youth Services, Michael Coteau, who introduced the bill, said earlier this year that a parent’s failure to recognize and support a child’s gender self-identification is a form of child abuse, and a child in these circumstances should be removed from the situation and placed into protection.

I’m a Pediatrician.
How Transgender Ideology Has Infiltrated My Field and Produced Large-Scale Child Abuse.

By Michelle Cretella

Portrait of Michelle CretellaMichelle Cretella, M.D., is president of the American College of Pediatricians, a national organization of pediatricians and other health care professionals dedicated to the health and well-being of children.

Transgender politics have taken Americans by surprise, and caught some lawmakers off guard.
 
Just a few short years ago, not many could have imagined a high-profile showdown over transgender men and women’s access to single-sex bathrooms in North Carolina.
 
But transgender ideology is not just infecting our laws. It is intruding into the lives of the most innocent among us—children—and with the apparent growing support of the professional medical community.
 
As explained in my 2016 peer reviewed article,Gender Dysphoria in Children and Suppression of Debate,” professionals who dare to question the unscientific party line of supporting gender transition therapy will find themselves maligned and out of a job.

VIDEO - HOW CULTURAL MARXISM UNDERMINES AND DESTROYS WESTERN SOCIETY AND ITS TRADITIONAL VALUES - STEFAN MOLYNEUX AND FAITH GOLDY

  • The following conversation focuses on how the left has endeavored to undermine western culture and morality since the Sixties, and how they have used immigration from the third world to bolster their shrinking voting base. 
  • This immigration wave does not pursue freedom and assimilation, but the gradual imposition of their own ideologies and traditions. 
  • In addition the left has undermined the traditional family, sexual morality, childhood innocence, and western religions, as those are prime obstacles to the implementation of their insidious agenda.
  • While leftists advocate for diversity, they exclude, ridicule, and persecute all those who don't agree with their dogma.  
  • One aspect that Molyneux, Goldy, and many other commentators miss is the human capacity to get used to anything and everything.  There is not going to be an uprising against current migration policies or in protest against threats to society such as higher national debt, domestic terror, and so on.  Like the proverbial slow-boiling frog, people in the West have allowed themselves to be conditioned to tolerate what is destroying the civilization they once cherished. 
  • Defense of western civilization is not necessarily a racist concept. Your blogger is an olive-skinned woman of Mediterranean descent who recognizes that there is more good than bad in what we still have. 
  • The West has provided all of us with science, technology, free enterprise, and the many freedoms we enjoy.  It may only take decades, maybe a century at the most, to see it all suffocated by imported fundamentalism, corruption, and violence.
  • The conversation on this video starts with Canada but then it becomes more general.   Don't miss it, even if you disagree with them. These are two very passionate and articulate commentators.

CNN - October 20, 2016 - STD rates reach record high in United States
LAUREN SOUTHERN
There were more reported cases of sexually transmitted diseases last year than ever before in the United States, according to the latest STD surveillance report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
 
The annual report, which was released on Wednesday, showed that the rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis -- the three most commonly reported STDs in the nation -- increased between 2014 and 2015, reaching an all-time high.
 
Reported cases of primary and secondary syphilis rose by 19%, gonorrhea cases rose by 12.8%, and chlamydia cases rose by 5.9%, from 2014. All three STDs are curable with antibiotics, but most infections go undiagnosed and untreated, according to the CDC.
 
Data on other STDs, such as human papillomavirus, herpes simplex virus and trichomoniasis, are not routinely tracked and were not included in the new report. While HIV is a STD that is actively tracked, it also was not included in this report.

ONLY 2% OF YOUNG BRITISH MALES DESCRIBE THEMSELVES AS "COMPLETELY MASCULINE" according to latest poll - Feminists and leftists have given the world MASCULINE such negative connotations that men are afraid to identify or act as such

Men who vote for the political right are more likely to have a positive opinion of masculinity, compared to those in the center and the left.
As Muslim migrants have swept all over Western Europe molesting and even raping women and children, European men were nowhere to be seen.   They failed to protect their wives and daughters from being raped, and after the fact they have remained quiet, afraid to show courage and outrage, and to demand a crackdown on lawlessness and a stop to Muslim migration.

Young men in Britain are reluctant to identify as “masculine” and think the term has “negative connotations”, a YouGov poll has revealed.
According to the survey, only two per cent of male respondents aged between 18 to 24 described themselves as “completely masculine”, compared to 56 per cent of over 65s.
 
The results come at a time when, despite the fact women vastly outnumber men at universities, feminists are demanding male students sign pledges to tackle “laddish” behaviour. at universities, feminists are demanding male students sign pledges to tackle “laddish” behaviour.
 
Wales Online last year reported on a campaign by police, councils and universities to “crack down” on behaviour deemed “laddish.”  Feminist Vicky Chandler called for “lad culture” to be tackled in children as young as those in primary school.
 
Describing the results as following a “generational decline,” YouGov found that younger respondents are increasingly reluctant to identify themselves as masculine.

TRUMP'S DUPLICITY - His aides admit his act is all a show to "project an image" and they reassure the GOP that he will support moderate policies once in office - TED CRUZ DENOUNCES TRUMP'S AGENDA AS COINCIDING WITH HILLARY'S including allowing men to enter little girls' bathrooms, raising taxes, and more

  • This election campaign is offering candidates that should repel voters.  But with the public used to political mediocrity, the top contenders have enthusiastic followers. 
  • In one case just because the candidate is a female, in another because he offers lots of free stuff, and in a third instance because he spouts slogans that resonate with public discontent. 
  • The other candidates they left behind were no better. 
  • The GOP campaign has been embarrassingly childish and lacking in substance.  Even the most right wing Republicans cringe at the level of discourse.
  • Furthermore, both the Democrat and Republican establishments have proved to be undemocratic and politically corrupt to the core. 
  • How can any nominee, Democrat or Republican, be expected to run the country?
  • This blogger is not rooting for any candidate, only lamenting that such a culturally advanced nation keeps producing candidates for the highest office (and presidents) that are so unqualified, and that the system is so utterly rigged - considering that the USA's main claim to moral superiority is its "democracy".  
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  • Breitbart - Donald Trump’s chief lieutenants told skeptical Republican leaders that the GOP front-runner has been “projecting an image” so far in the 2016 primary season and “the part that he’s been playing is now evolving” in a way that will improve his standing among general election voters. 
  • The message, delivered behind closed doors in a private briefing, is part of the campaign’s intensifying effort to convince party leaders Trump will moderate his tone in the coming months to help deliver big electoral gains this fall, despite his contentious ways.
  • Even as his team pressed Trump’s case, he raised fresh concern among some conservatives by speaking against North Carolina’s “bathroom law,” which directs transgender people to use the bathroom that matches the sex on their birth certificates.  
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  • Liberal progressives, with Donald Trump's support, are agitating for laws that would allow MEN - transgendered or not (who is going to check?) - to enter the same public bathrooms as little girls.  
  • Homosexual activism used to be about banning discrimination in the job, housing, and such. 
  • Now the demands keep escalating to the point of putting the safety of girls and women at risk - all in the name of political correctness.  
  • Voters' infatuation with Donald Trump is irrational, since the man has no political record behind him, and a vague agenda.
  • Trump has given no details on how he intends to implement his agenda of making America Great Again. 
  • His populist slogans are simplistic to the point of being insulting to voters' intelligence. 
  • This blog posted an article many months ago where an expert warned that Trump's candidacy was all about stopping Cruz, a real conservative, who is genuinely feared by the GOP establishment. 
WATCH VIDEO where political insider Robert Reich explains why Cruz is much more dangerous to the establishment than Trump. 

 
 
Robert Bernard Reich is an American political economist, professor, author, and political commentator. He served in the administrations of Presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter and was Secretary of Labor under President Bill Clinton from 1993 to 1997.  Reich is currently Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy at the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California, BerkeleySource  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Reich

Key points on articles posted below:

  • TRUMP'S HILLARY VALUES - Trump said he opposed the law that requires transgendered people to use the restrooms accorded to their biological sex, and he said that things should be just left the way they are.
  • Trump said that asking businesses to create transgender-exclusive bathrooms would be too expensive.
  • Under Donald Trump’s political correctness, if a pedophile enters the women’s restroom waiting for little girls, law enforcement is not allowed to remove him.
  • A Pennsylvania man has just been charged with photographing a 10-year-old girl in a public restroom at a store.
  • Cruz said Enough is enough with this PC nonsense. The Obama administration right now is litigating against a junior high, trying to force the junior high to let a teenage boy shower with teenage girls 
  • TRUMP'S DUPLICITY - Trump's top aides told the GOP that his conservatism is all about "projecting an image," and that he will moderate once in office.
  • So far Trump has avoided answering difficult questions and engaging in another debate.
  • Carly Fiorina once said that Trump and Hillary are two sides of the same coin.
  • Both Trump and Hillary are in favor or raising taxes.
  • Both Trump and Hillary support Obamacare.
  • Both Trump and Hillary support funding Planned Parenthood, a tax-funded organization still embroiled in scandal of selling baby parts for profit.
  • Trump, like Hillary, supported partial birth abortion at one time, before he became anti-abortion to sound more Republican.
  • Trump's blunder when he said he would punish women who have abortions (quickly retracted) reveals how little he understands the conservative pro-life movement, which regards both the mother and the aborted baby as victims, said Cruz.
  • People are now getting fired for daring to criticize transgender bathrooms. 
  • Boston Red Sox hero Kurt Schilling is one of the most salient examples.  He says he has nothing to apologize for.
  • Donald Trump endorses LIBERAL INTOLERANCE, as he has promised to punish media that criticizes him.
  • Both Trump and Hillary agree that companies that want to leave the USA should be punished - instead of making it easier for them to do business.
  • To help strengthen US manufacturing jobs Cruz promises ending amnesty, securing the borders, ending sanctuary cities, and stopping welfare benefits for illegal aliens
  • Target stores chain rushed to allow 'transgendered' men in women's bathrooms
  • There is now a boycott campaign against Target  
  • According to even the most generous assessment, the number of transgender Americans amounts to only 0.3 percent of the country

IN PRAISE OF HEROES - FIGHTING WILDFIRES OR PREVENTING A FRENCH TRAIN MASSACRE BY A MUSLIM TERRORIST - It is men who usually do heroic acts, ready to give up their lives to save others - WHAT THE FEMINIST CULTURE REFUSES TO ADMIT WHILE IT DENIGRATES MEN

Alek Skarlatos, Spencer Stone and Anthony Sadler tackled the gunman on the train
US servicemen prevented
a massacre on a train
In only a few days we have heard of several men who were killed while fighting wildfires in the Pacific Northwest, and of three unarmed US servicemen who prevented a massacre by a Muslim terrorist on a Paris-bound train.
 
What they have in common is that they are men, and only doing what is expected of them:  become heroes when other lives are at risk.

The feminist culture that pervades the media, universities, and our society in general, continues to denigrate men - oblivious to their human rights, their heroic nature, and their dignity.

The three young firefighters killed in the Washington state wildfires this week have all been identified as crews continue to battle the flurry of flames raging across the Pacific Northwest.

Too close: A wildfire burns behind a home on Twisp River Road on Thursday nightTom Zbyszewski, 20, Andrew Zajac, 26, and Richard Wheeler, 31, died Wednesday after their vehicle crashed and was overtaken by flames near the town of Twisp.  Four other firefighters nearby were injured, one critically.
 
All three were members of an engine crew from Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest in central Washington, NBC News reported.  

They were members of an elite crew that scoped out the size of a wildfire before other firefighters were sent in.  Following an investigation, their bodies were removed Thursday, as their fellow firefighters stood by in silence with their helmets over their hearts.

Third victim: Richard Wheeler, 31, of South Haven, Michigan, was a married fourth-generation firefighter

Richard Wheeler was married and a fourth generation firefighter.
 
Andrew Zajac lived in Winthrop, one of the towns that were evacuated Wednesday.  He was married and a graduate of the University of South Dakota.  
 
Tom Zbyszewski was a physics major and actor at Whitman College in southeastern Washington. 
 
The Twisp blaze is just one of more than 70 large wildfires or clusters of fires in several drought-stricken Western states, the bulk of them in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California and Montana.

THE FEMINIST CULTURE ALLOWS WOMEN TO GET AWAY WITH DENIGRATING MEN - The new inequality victimizes boys and men - British author debunks many myths about male privilege - AND IN THE US THE ARMY HUMILIATES SOLDIERS by making them wear red high heel shoes in a demonstration of solidarity with women

How did we get to this point where Hillary Clinton, with a disastrous record as Secretary of State, and with disturbing issues in her career prior to her husband reaching the White House, is being regarded as deserving to be president of the United States - just because she is a woman?
 
Facts show that women in power can be just as incompetent, ruthless, corrupt, and dangerous  as men.   
 
It is a myth that women's nurturing disposition will make them more compassionate leaders or CEOs.  Any woman who has to jump the necessary hoops to reach an executive position must have  a heart of steel.
 
Males have a reputation for having an aggressive nature.  They have to.  They are often the defenders of the herd and the family across the animal kingdom.  Nature does not like wimpy, sensitive males, and they don't get to mate very often. 
 
Hormones make men more prone to solve matters using violence.  But women's violence is hidden.  Women abuse their children and even abuse their spouses.  But whenever they have to face justice, women are turned into victims, and their crimes are blamed on men and society. 
 
Many accusations of rape and child molestation against men are made up with the intent of destroying  a man's life not with a bullet but with a lie.

In a dangerous situation it is men who will risk their lives to protect women, even at the cost of their own lives. 

It is men who build our homes in all kinds of weather.  They fix the plumbing.  They defend the country against enemies. 
 
The following article is based on a book by British author Peter Lloyd, and presents observations that apply to Britain in particular, but the principles are the same all over the West. 
 
Women are indeed allowed to get away with the denigration and disempowering of men.  If men were to regard women in similar ways, they would be called misogynist and shunned from polite society, (unless they are Muslims, and in that case we look the other way). 
 
 Feminism' s social destructiveness and hypocrisy
 
  • Men are responsible for many great achievements but getting a raw deal
  • New book claims men have been unfairly undermined by modern feminism
  • Men are doing more, working harder and getting none of the credit, it says 
  • And while Western men are being denigrated, our authorities and feminists look the other way, and even excuse the epidemic of rape of very young girls and women by Muslim men, particularly in the UK and Scandinavia. (See articles at the bottom of this page.)
  • Ridiculed, abused, exploited - the triumph of feminism has made today's men second class citizens, argues a deliciously provocative new book.   And it's time the chaps fought back.


  • The denigration of men

    By Peter Lloyd
     
    In our anxiety to support women’s emancipation — which men agree with, by the way — we have allowed our intellectual ability, our emotional intelligence and our capacity for commitment to be endlessly ridiculed.
     
    Rubbishing the male of the species and everything he stands for is a disturbing  21st century phenomenon
    Men are brilliant. Seriously, we are. We invented philosophy, medicine, architecture, cars, trains, helicopters, submarines and the internet. Not to mention the jet engine, IVF, electricity and modern medicine.
     
    We’ve led all the industrial revolutions and sent rockets into Space. We’ve fought wars with tin hats and bayonets and won them.
     
    The world we live in would be nothing without Alexander Graham Bell, Sigmund Freud, Horatio Nelson, Winston Churchill, William Shakespeare and Albert Einstein.
     
    The geniuses Leonardo da Vinci, Stephen Hawking, Michelangelo, Beethoven, Charles Darwin and Michael Faraday have all contributed immeasurably to our modern lives.
     
    So why is it that, today, there has there never been a worse time to be a man? Rubbishing the male of the species and everything he stands for is a disturbing — and growing — 21st century phenomenon.
     
    It is the fashionable fascism of millions of women — and many, many men, too.
     
    Instead of feeling proud of our achievements, we men are forced to spend our time apologising for them.
