Of course, there immediately appeared scores of posts excusing the atrocious behaviour of creepazoids in Nevada who threw chairs and sent death threats to female politicians. All of these posts are written by white men of all ages who are known for their immaturity and who slip into their favorite whiny brat voices to explain away the nastiness in Nevada.

Here is one example but I have many more. It’s really funny to observe how all of their fake feminism slips away the moment they face the existence of women who are not pathetic little victims. I noticed this phenomenon a while ago. There is a whole class of men who earnestly believe themselves to be pro-women and who collect stories about female victimization. When they encounter women who are not victims, though, they flip out. Women in positions of power drive them up a wall. Nobody remembers Hugo Schwyzer any more, but he was one such fellow. All of these fake Bernie supporters are exactly the same.

And it’s the same with racial issues. These folks have as much compassion for victimized black people as they have hatred and contempt for blacks who speak in authoritative, strong voices and dare to have opinions of their own.

And, once again, it’s exactly the same in what concerns immigrants, Muslims, Hispanics. They are all for us when we can be pitied and lectured. But woe be unto us if we dare not to be pitiful.

An honest Trump supporter skips the whole fake ally thing and sincerely exhibits his hatred. I prefer that to the sanctimonious viciousness of these pseudo-progressive creeps who have attached themselves to Bernie Sanders’s cause and are making him look unreservedly bad. Of course, most Bernie supporters are good people but good people never make as much noise as a bunch of overgrown, immature boys brimming over with insecurity and hatred.

P.S. And just observe the contrast between the whiny tone of the piece linked above and the integrity and seriousness of this fellow. The difference is striking.  

OK, is it true that Hillary is saying Bill will have a role in her administration? Because it’s the most horrible idea ever. I have nothing against Bill Clinton but I hate people who inflict their spouses on others in professional contexts. Hillary needs to stand on her own. And Bill should stay home.

I hope she’s not being sincere about this because if she is, I’m going back to supporting Bernie. He, at least, knows when it’s time to shoo the hovering wife off the stage.

What possessed Hillary to do something so idiotic? Is she trying to look weak and useless on purpose?

Of course, it makes so much sense to keep sinking billions into treating the folks who get addicted to opioid painkillers instead of outlawing their long-term prescription once and for all. Not.

These drugs will turn any pain into a chronic one because the brain will keep manufacturing a reason to keep getting the drug. There is no justification, none, to keep getting people hooked up on this shit to keep drug companies making blood money from the suffering of these poor addicts.

Taking care of Klara turned out to be the second most enjoyable activity I’ve ever participated in. The first being spending time with N, obviously. I like it more than traveling in Europe because I always overspend and feel guilty. And more than going to the beach because I always get sunburn. And even more than spending time with my sister because she’s never as deliriously happy every time she sees me as Klara is. Which is a good thing because it would be disturbing if it were otherwise. Of course, I never tried spending time with my sister on a European beach. That might be a close competitor for the very enjoyable infant care.

Please take into account, however, that I’m particularly well-suited for infant care by virtue of my personal history. Until 2 years ago, I didn’t drive and was always stuck at home. So I don’t feel the panic of, “OMG, I can’t just pick up and go to the movies whenever I feel like it any more!” because I never could. So it’s nothing new.

I don’t mind being stuck at home because that’s where I do my best work. I don’t feel lonely, I very rarely miss the company of other adults, I don’t mind sleep deprivation, I’m not stressed out by baby screams – I’m ideally suited to taking care of a baby.

I really detest the image of me that Facebook is creating. First, I was offered some idiotic Russian paraphernalia to express my love of Putin, and now I’m given this thing:

What in my life journey could have given one the idea that I’m aware of this Prince fellow or that I wear T-shirts, let alone vulgar T-shirts with writing on them. Jeez. And that’s a place I’m supposed to get my news from? 

I’m having a massive attack of snobbishness. 

One of the best things parents can do for children of all ages is to have an intense and fulfilling personal life. In the absence of such a life, a parent can very easily slip into using an infant to service her emotional and tactile needs, formatting a teenager right into a depression, and weighing down an adult child into a life of thwarted losership.

In the meantime, the North Carolina legislature is about to pass a bill to destroy 5 of the state’s public universities, four of which are historically black colleges. Where exactly is Obama with his edicts and Loretta Lynch with her moaning about bills that are “just like” Jim Crow? Or has all of their energy been wasted on managing how people pee?

Folks, did you hear, did you hear about Bernie’s plan for 2018? To elect a better Congress? Of course, any Congress will be better than this one. You bring a bunch of chimpanzees into the Capitol, and they are bound to do better. It’s crucial that the current bunch of sorry losers doesn’t get returned in 2 years.

Bernie has a real plan, and it’s a great one. I knew he’d come through in the end. This is very good news. Things are looking up.

Today I have for you an unusually large selection of articles I actually agree with. It’s both weird and refreshing not to be a contrarian for a moment.

I unexpectedly agree with. . .

. . . an article in The Atlantic on the disgraceful toilet wars.

. . . Echidne’s belated and tortured decision to notice sexism where she didn’t want to notice it.

. . . Adrastos on dudebromides.

. . . Rod Dreher on NY peak gender idiocy. He is actually kind of mild on the subject for my tastes. I don’t suffer officious fools gladly.

. . . Rude Pundit on the aptly named “Clinton fake scandal fatigue.”

I was shocked to discover that Robin Wright was being paid less than Kevin Spacey for her role in House of Cards. While his performance is OK but nothing a hundred other actors couldn’t do just as well or better, she makes the whole show. Wright is the only reason many people keep watching the show. She is very talented in a way that American actors almost never are. Spacey is an indifferent actor, and his weird accent in this show is nothing but a distraction.

This is simply wrong.
