Feminism was never about equality. It was always about putting women above men.
Feminists want women to have all the best benefits of society while retaining the classic privileges women have had, but with almost none of the responsibilities. I believe in equal rights for men and women, but feminism is not the way to go.
Feminists seek not to equalize womens’ position in society with men; they merely seek to reverse the male-centric culture into a female-centric culture.
Feminists think that men and women should compete with each other, and that women should out-do men. But this goes against biological truth.
Men and women complement each other. They shouldn’t fight each other. There’s no better way to kill off human species and drive people toward neurosis and psychological issues.
Men and women need each other. Anyone who thinks otherwise is evolution-arily wrong.
Both sexes are biologically different. Different does not mean that one is inferior and the other superior. Both sexes have evolved with certain abilities that are needed to carry on the human race.
Women are biologically programmed to have a nurturing, soft nature so they can be good care-givers. This ability is obviously a big plus. Just walk into any hospital and clinic and you’ll see this biological fact in action by the ratio of female to male nurses.
Is this discrimination against men that women nurses out-number men nurses almost 10 or 1 or less? No, because women have the superior biological traits that make them ideal for this sort of work. Who is better at taking care of the kids, and keeping the home organized?
On the other side, look at the engineering and technical professions. Men are over-represented. Why? Because men are biologically wired that makes them superior at this kind of work. Evolution has done its job.
When the car breaks down, or the sink leaks, who is more adept at handling it?
The man had to go out, hunt, protect and survive. The man had to think of, and devise ways to adapt to the environment. This ability to conceptualize and create in the wider world is what gives man the edge in the technical and engineering professions.
It does not mean men are superior to women or vice versa. Both sexes are superior to each other in certain ways, and inferior in others.
This in no way, shape, or form makes either one inferior, or should give anyone the license to discriminate against the other.
What needs to count is ability and performance; in one word: merit.
Yes, there are men nurses and women engineers who do their jobs well, as well as overlap in certain areas where both sexes perform well.
But these are exceptions, and the majority of men and women cling to their traditional roles because of biology and evolution, not because of discrimination.
If there are too little women IT technicians or male nurse it is because the sexes gravitate toward jobs and careers that complement their biological abilities. They may not even be conscious of it.
But in today’s society, men and women are being told to do things that go against their nature. Women especially are being brainwashed and lied to by feminist propaganda, equality gangs, and television propaganda that they are equal to men and can do the same things. They’re being told to climb the ladder of success higher and higher, and get as much money and privileges they can; to take things away from men.
Womens’ natural superiority in certain areas is lauded, but mens’ superiority in certain areas is condemned as chauvinistic and discriminatory toward women; and everyone is told that women can do the same things just as well as men can.
This is all false. But what’s worse, forcing a woman into a particular profession or action can, and has resulted in overwhelming stress, anxiety, depression and nervous breakdowns. These are the results of women being told to do things for which they’re not physically and emotionally wired to do. This inevitably results in prescription pill-popping, unhappy lives, unstable households, divorces, child abuse and other unpleasant and sad things.
Same thing applies to men.
Men and women are not equal. Simple biology has proven this amply. But both sexes must be treated fairly and with respect, and that’s enough.
A man and a woman form a team, a team that is the strongest because it contains the best of both worlds. An added bonus is that each one’s biological strengths cancel the other’s biological weaknesses.
After all, two heads are better than one, and men and women both benefit from the unique differences in psychology that when put together can help avert mistakes and crises.
The world was built on strong bonds between men and women. It is this complementary bond that has built civilization.
The woman depends on the man to keep her and the family safe and thriving, and the man depends on the woman to nurture the family, and keep the home comfortable and sane.
When it comes to relationship between men and women, it must be cooperation over competition.
This results in the best outcome for everyone.

PFAW Sucks!
Years ago, during the dark misrule of the criminal chimp George W. Bush, I donated some money to the PFAW, and was put on their mailing list.
Since the advent of the Obama regime, they have become shills and whores for the Democratic party and the neo-liberal inerventionist vermin.
Recently, I received an alert from their Digital Communications Coordinator, Katie O'Connell. Below is the email that I received, followed by my response. I don't know whether it will be read or not, but I just couldn't take it anymore, and had to vent my frustration of PFAW's short-sightedness.

Lingering questions about the White House's involvement with Russia were reopened this week with Michael Flynn's resignation as President Trump's national security adviser and reports that several Trump aides and associates had contacts with Russian intelligence and government officials during the campaign. While Attorney General Jeff Sessions would normally head up any investigation of Flynn and White House entanglements with Russia, Sessions himself was part of the Trump campaign and his close relationship with the president and several aides who are possible targets presents an obvious conflict of interest.
During his confirmation fight, Sessions said there "was no basis to recuse myself" from investigations related to the White House's involvement with Russia. On Tuesday, an adviser to Sessions anonymously told the New York Times he would be maintaining that stance, despite Flynn's sudden resignation. This is, frankly, unacceptable.
Demand Jeff Sessions recuse himself from Russia investigations>>
Justice Department guidelines mandate that prosecutors cannot be involved in investigations where they have personal investment, and the extent of Sessions' relationships with Trump and Flynn more than fit the bill. Serious questions are emerging about the extent of Russian involvement in the election and Trump's White House. Sessions is not the right person to lead the investigation.
Tell Jeff Sessions you absolutely oppose his involvement in any investigation related to Russia>>
Sessions' reluctance to recuse himself, along with Flynn's resignation and other intelligence, makes it clear that something alarming is going on in Trump's White House. The American people deserve to know the truth about Flynn, Trump, and others' ties to Russia -- but we will not get the truth from a Sessions-led investigation.
We cannot let the Trump administration continuously try to distract us from serious allegations of collusion with Russia. Tell Sessions he MUST recuse himself from investigating Russia>>
Sessions, Trump, and their cronies cannot get away with keeping critical information from us -- but they definitely think they can. Join us in demanding Sessions recuse himself now.

There was no Trump collusion with Russia. It was all fake news. It was all a part of the Clinton campaign's PR, just like the the Swiftboat Veterans for truth, and the Birther movement. All these disgusting and disgraceful accusations were desperate, ill-thought out campaign strategies to smear the other side. So why do you continue peddling this 'Russia hacking' nonsense?
Face the truth please: Hillary Clinton is a psychopath and a rotten person. She is fake, out-of-touch, and was a terrible candidate. She committed serious crimes, and it is her that PFAW needs to condemn and demand an investigation against, not just some republicans.
Look at all the corrupt wrong-doing of the DNC revealed in the Podesta emails. Are people like this worth supporting? Are their lies worth supporting? It is because of the railroading of Bernie Sanders by the DNC and the Hillary campaign that Trump is president. The democrats bet on a lame, sick horse and that is why they lost, not because Trump lied, or some nonsense about collusion with Russia, or some deluded fantasies about Russian hacking of the elections.
The Democratic party simply can't face the truth of their blundering and corrupt decisions, so now they scapegoat everyone they can, including foreign leaders, which is absolutely stupid and dangerous. If something bad happens, it will be organizations like PFAW that will be partly responsible for the consequences.
PFAW needs to stop being a shill and a bullhorn for the DNC and for their neo-liberal interventionist agenda, and start holding ALL sides accountable. You have veered away from your mission of justice and fairness. You have allowed yourself to become co-opted by slick liars and political con-men, and women. Stop it, please. It is extremely disheartening and unprofessional.
I did not vote for Trump, and I have mixed feelings about him. Frankly, I don't have much faith and trust in him. Some of his ideas I totally disagree with.
I firmly believe that millionaires and billionaires, of whatever party, cannot save the country.
What happened to the PFAW which condemned the corruption and wars of the criminal George W. Bush and his republican operatives? Did you oppose all those crimes because they were wrong, or just because they were done by republicans? I see that it is the latter, since you are oblivious to the crimes of Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration. The bombing of Libya, stirring up a fake revolution in Syria, the overthrow of elected governments in Honduras in 2009 and in Ukraine in 2014 have led to total, or near-total collapse of these countries; thanks to Obama and Hillary Clinton.
It is shameful that you say nothing against all this, because it was done by a democratic administration.
I'm personally tired of listening to, and reading about Trump's collusion with Russia, for which there is no credible evidence for. These accusations are based on innuendo and manufactured evidence, by some of the same people who brought us the bogus Iraq WMD accusations. Those people were liars then, and they're liars today. Why do you continue to buy their garbage?
I urge PFAW to remember your mission, and stop being an agent for the shallow interests of a particular political gang, who are just USING YOU. Please don't send me anymore emails about 'Trump's collusion with Russia.' There is no collusion, and the media is deliberately lying to people when they say there is. PFAW is doing a great disservice to all when it spreads this nonsense around. Please stop it!
I have absolutely no problem hearing negative things about Trump, as long as they are true, and backed by solid evidence. But up to now, this hasn't been the case.
I hope that PFAW wakes up from whatever DNC/Hillary-induced stupor it is currently in. If you spread lies, then when something really bad happens that deserves our attention and action, no one will listen to you.
PFAW, don't be the boy who cried wolf.

Professional Anti-Communists
In Europe today, there are people who can best be described as Professional Anti-Communists.
These people have taken to the internet to spread their anti-communist (and pro-western) gospel to the world.
These people should not be confused with genuine reformists, freedom fighters, or advocates for real independence and national sovereignty.
A Professional Anti-Communist has the following characteristics:
1. They spend their time accusing individuals, organizations, and nations of being a part of some on-going communist conspiracy that hasn’t really gone away, but is simply in-hiding. These supposed crypto-communist organizations and people have allegedly infiltrated top levels of European governments, are preventing progress and western-style reforms from being carried out, and from communist legacy being stamped out
2. They accuse Russia of being behind this crypto-communist conspiracy. To them, the Russian federation is the same as the Soviet Union, and nothing there has changed at all
3. They cherry-pick facts that support their worldview, while omitting ones that don't. Then they use their sanitized and particular world view to promote a regressive mentality, and policies and politics that are dangerous, harmful, and reckless to the entire nation
4. These people are very often co-opted and patronized by western organizations, governments, western embassies and their officials for their ‘expertise.’ They are given publicity, access, and funds to further their anti-communist/anti-Russian crusades
5. These people are against any type of rapprochement with, and understanding of the Russian position. They consider Russia to be totally untrustworthy and uncompromising based on deeds half a century or more old. They don't travel to Russia and talk to anyone first-hand. They only parrot the propaganda of Russian 'dissident' groups, which are supported with western money.
6. While condemning and publicizing the crimes of Soviet-era communist governments, they remain dismissive, or totally oblivious to the crimes committed by western powers,
even if committed against the PA’s own country. This is suspect behavior.
7. They smear anyone who disagrees with their views, and accuse them of being communist agents and/or Kremlin puppets
8. They are staunchly pro-American in their views, and willfully ignorant of the defects in the US system and its policies worldwide. They equate the US/west with real freedom.
9. They see the west and its institutions as ‘right,’ and ‘normal,’ while ignoring its crimes and blunders
10. They frequently travel to western countries on trips and meetings where they spread their anti-communist message
11. They consider neutrality in foreign affairs as a sacrilege and a sin, and see it as the work of pro-communist, anti-US/western forces that want to undermine democracy and freedom
To the professional anti-communist, the most sacred duty of each country that was once under communist rule is the eradication from all governmental positions, and public life of anything and anyone associated with the previous ex-communist governments.
The PA (Professional Anti-Communist) believes that all problems within each ex-communist country, past and present, are the fault of the previous communist system, and cannot be solved until all vestiges of communism are gone.
For this to happen, contend the PA’s, either there must be some sort of a national great reckoning against all former communist-era functionaries, or 3-4 generations must pass by after which all communists, their offspring, and associated communist ideology will be naturally cleansed from the country.
The PA may hold up the example of Romania in 1989, where the communist leader Nikolae Ceausescu and his wife met their end in front of a firing squad. (This hasn’t worked, or was a useless deed, as government corruption and ex-communists are still alive and well in EU/NATO-member Romania)
This act is held up by PA's and their acolytes as a standard by which all ex-communist leaders and functionaries should’ve been dealt with.
But the professional PA won’t notice the irony of doing the same thing that Stalinists used to do to their anti-communist heroes of the past.
The problem with the PA’s and their adherents assumption that it will take 3-4 generations to clean their countries of hidden communist influence is that of what will come later?
Are these PA’s and their disciples truly honest, justice-minded people who are simply only after their nation’s national freedom and sovereignty, unhampered by any foreign ideology and diktat, and free of any and all foreign agents who would hamper such freedom and sovereignty, regardless of what other country those agents represent and are acting on-behalf of?
If so, then that is a totally legitimate aim, and the PA’s are doing a great service for their nations, and should be encouraged, assisted, and see their aspirations succeed.
But if these PA’s aim is to remove all ex-communist influence from the nation, and see it replaced by another foreign one, then these people are traitors, and their efforts are useless and criminal.
If these PA’s are naïve enough to think that once ex-communist influence is removed that another batch of malign foreign influence doesn’t take its place, they better think again.
This is already happening. For it seems that the PA’s already went wrong years ago because they have very foolishly, or maliciously, equated western influence with real freedom and sovereignty.
So it will do the PA’s no good to get rid of ex-communist influence when the country is already heavily influenced by foreign western diktat.
In truth, there is no ex-communist influence or conspiracy. What there was-and is-are ex-communist opportunists and their offspring, who simply jumped from the hard-seat communist wagon to the cushier western one which has more hay. That’s all.
To think that these people are guided by communist principles is ridiculous. If they were, then why did these ex-communist countries embrace western-style capitalism, NATO/EU membership, paranoid Russophobia, and even accompanied the US on the illegal Iraq invasion and other criminal western regime change operations?
Is this the work of unrepentant, Soviet-loving communists?
But the PA will brush such logic away.
Those PA’s who advocate permanent attachment to the west and are against normal and friendly relations with the Russian Federation, or any other country they see as ‘communist,’ are not working for the best interests of the people they profess to want to help.
Such peoples’ motives are suspect. Because only an idiot would eschew good relations with their neighbors by using past history as a drum to rally constant hatred, distrust and tension against the other country.
This kind of attitude isn’t the work of a concerned patriot, but of either an idiot or a foreign agent-provocateur.
Such an attitude feeds off itself, and is dangerous. It leads to crises, which then cause more animosity.
This kind of attitude is what stoked WW2.
It’s one thing for any professional anti-communist hunter or historian to be driven by a proper, unbiased, and equal accounting of everyone’s crimes, regardless of which side they fall on.
But when a PA chooses a ‘bad’ side, constantly picks on it, ascribes all of their country’s problems and mistakes to it, and without acknowledging the errors and crimes of the ‘good’ side because of the PA’s self-interest and ideological attachments to the ‘good’ side, then that anti-communist crusader or historian lacks credibility no matter how great their knowledge and popularity may be.
The Professional Anti-Communist is at heart an opportunist with a specific agenda which has little to do with real freedom, democracy and sovereignty.
That agenda aims to serve and promote the interests and policies of certain countries, no matter how bad they may be.
Fighting communism becomes a cover to scapegoat a convenient boogeyman, so as to distract the public while the anti-communist’s masters get away with doing far worse things than the supposed communists the PA seeks to fight.
The PA is a true believer in the discredited, western-peddled cold-war propaganda myth of ‘The International Communist Conspiracy.’ This still exists in the PA’s mind, albeit secretly. It colors their world-view.
The PA uses history as a way to nurture divisions and promote their personal warped political views, and those of their western masters.
The PA is paid, and maybe recruited by foreign intelligence services or their front-groups to spread such anti-communist/Russian propaganda to all who are ignorant enough to listen. This serves the western governments' geopolitical interests.
The PA is not a friend or an asset to any society. The PA is a liability; a hindrance to the normal development of a country, and must be shunned.
At their basic core, the PA truly believes that everything western is synonymous with real freedom and democracy, while ignoring the contradictions in western deeds. They simply seek to replace communist overseers with capitalist ones.
This gives the PA away as a fraud.
One way to challenge the PA's real interests and agenda is to ask them, point blank, if they're pro-American. If they answer yes, then there's no need to talk to them any further because they have just proven themselves wrong, and without credibility.

Ukraine's Woes
Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko (aka-“Porky”) has threatened to hold a referendum on Ukraine’s membership in NATO.
This is an act of desperation. Porky is scared. He's trying to keep himself relevant, and in office. He’s worried that Putin and Trump will meet and work something out. Bottom line is that Russia has a lot more to offer US as it is, than Ukraine does. Porky knows this very well. That's why he's trying to ratchet up tensions and anti-Russian hysteria with provocations against E. Ukraine. Once reality and serious economic considerations replace maidanist Russophobic delusions and propaganda, Porky's regime will wilt.
Ukraine won't join NATO. Ukraine would have to resolve issues with E. Ukraine and Crimea first. They'd have to either recapture these areas, or give them up officially. NATO won't admit members with unresolved border issues and internal unrest. NATO doesn't want a war with Russia.
With each passing day, it becomes clearer that Russia isn't interested in any invasions. This makes the Kiev junta's position more precarious. If there is no tension between Russia and west, Porky loses, and so do his Polish backers. This is why he's shelling Donetsk again and provoking Russia.
Porky doesn't realize how tenuous his position is. There are more Ukrainians sympathetic to Russia than he thinks. They may tolerate some of his BS, but the moment he turns the country into a NATO base, they will give him hell.
All this shows how pathetic and fake this current Kiev junta is. They're only kept in power by their western bosses. I GUARANTEE you that after Putin and Trump meet, we will see 'early elections' in Ukraine, and someone will take over that is friendlier to Russia. Just watch. Porky knows this. That's why he's killing more people. He sees the writing on the wall.
Ukraine today is an economic basket case with a society that’s on foreign life-support. The fake promises of Maidan have not come to pass, and the lives of Ukrainians are worse off today than they were at the beginning of 2014. Key industries have been mothballed and closed down. The E. Ukrainian industrial base that the country depended on has seceded from Ukraine due to Banderite fervor and threats against ethnic Russians.
EU has done little to help the country except saddle it with un-repayable loans, and the country is being used by the west as a stick to poke the Russian bear.
President Yanukovich’s popularity at the time he was ousted was 44%. Poroshenko’s current popularity stands at 14%.
Unless sane people come to power in Ukraine, and quickly, the country will only slide further into chaos and economic misery, and no amount of anti-Russian paranoia will save it.

Servile Puppets
EU and NATO members have been moving military equipment and soldiers East as a means of ‘countering Russian aggression.’
Since there is no ‘Russian aggression,’ and not likely to be, what is the aim of this EU/NATO paranoia?
I suspect that there are elites within the EU that want a war, even if just a small localized one, as a way to save their crumbling EU experiment.
A war has the power to reset debt clocks and give incompetent and failed EU politicians a second chance. A war would also make the shell-shocked public unify behind Brussels, and forget about their daily economic misery.
The only problem for these war-hungry EU elites is how to pull this off by a.) having someone else start it b.) have someone else (US) fight it c.) Not suffer any serious damage.
As we can see, all three are not possible. If the EU elites are dreaming of a war to get themselves off-the-hook for 71+ years of bad policies and failures, then they won’t survive it.
The main reason why Western Europe has brought itself to such a troubled position is because it hasn’t had real independence since 1945. It gave that up to the US in return for things it could’ve done by, and for itself.
When a country becomes too reliant on another, the benefactor nation will sooner or later notice that the beneficiary country that is constantly asking them for help has inept leadership and a lazy populace.
The benefactor nation will then exploit its position to demand all kinds of concessions from the country asking for help. The benefactor country will also look down with disrespect on the country that they’re helping.
Sooner or later, the beneficiary nation will notice that the country helping them is making them do things that are against its interests, are destructive, dangerous, legally/morally/ethically questionable, or downright criminal.
But the amount of dependence on the benefactor country will by this time run so deep, that the beneficiary country will fear questioning the benefactor country, even when it’s clear that the benefactor country is exploiting it for nefarious purposes.
Some brave voices within the society of the beneficiary country will be raised against this lop-sided relationship. But by this time, the level of dependence and subservience to the benefactor nation will be so entrenched within the beneficiary country’s society and institutions, that the vast majority will see the critics are trouble-makers, unpatriotic, or as enemies of some foreign power.
This situation is exactly the case with the EU/NATO-member countries and US right now. They’ve gotten so used to US ‘assistance’ that they got lazy, and are all willingly unable to think and act for themselves. Everything they decide and do is done with deference to the US.
Even Putin complained about this slavish attitude when he said that talking to the EU is a waste of time, because they can’t make any decisions on their own. Putin stated that to get anything from the EU, Russia has to go to the US which then makes the decisions for the EU.
71+ years of dependence and subservience on the US and its military for protection has turned the Europeans into servile wimps.
The EU’s current attempts at trying to sound, and act ‘independent’ is just a farce meant to get the US to keep them under its skirt, and as a temper tantrum directed at Trump.
Even the newer Eastern European EU members suffer from the same virus of servility, but for a different reason. With them, it was 45 years of Soviet domination which taught them to rely on someone else for their guidance.
After those E. European countries threw off communist rule and Soviet control, they unfortunately didn’t shake-off the virus of servility, which now serves their new EU/US/NATO masters well.
So who is the more reasonable party here? Russia, which gave up its Soviet Empire and Warsaw Pact and made an effort to change its ways, or the unrepentant, deluded NATO and EU which still think it’s 1964, and refuse to let go of their anti-Russian cold war fetishes, and move on to normal, productive endeavors?
