The Mark

The idea that, in a relationship between a 55-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman, the power lies with the man can only come from somebody who never observed any actual humans. Men are almost invariably the marks in this type of con.

  1. woman too young to see through the schtick

    Unless said woman belongs to an uncontacted tribe in the amazon (and even then, it’s a stretch) there is no 25 year-old woman on this planet who is “too young to see through the schtick.”

    These feminists are amazing. The same people who advocate for sex work as empowering for 18 year olds and participate in “slutwalk” marches (lol), also believe that 25 year old women have no agency over their own lives.

    1. “The moment you turn 18, you should leverage your sexual market value to make money, and it is a good thing. That’s because men want just one thing.”

      “25 year old women have no clue that men may be interested in them sexually and may be doling out favors/opportunities in the hope to have sex with them.”

      Pick one.

    1. It’s Jill Filipovic, the once rabid man-hating feminist who has been married since 2018, but is apparently still venomous.

      1. I love that Dreidel knows the year of this random woman’s marriage.

    1. I opened my X feed to see the news, so this among the very first updates, and didn’t even want to see anything else. It’s shocking, insulting, and I can’t stand such people and such arguments. The idea that this horrible murderer might get unleashed back on innocent people because he SAYS he hears voices is beyond insulting.

      1. He probably does hear voices. I see no reason for that to be a bar on execution.

        We have increasing resource scarcity to look forward to, and going forward, we cannot expect to have the resources to keep people like this in high-security psychiatric lockup, which is expensive. Also can’t be released on the public. There is only one economical solution, and we’ll either use it more often in the future, or we will all have to start packing heat and traveling in groups whenever we leave home.

        There’s a potential compromise option with lobotomy and release-to-family-custody.

        1. . “There’s a potential compromise option with lobotomy and release-to-family-custody.”

          This was a common practice decades ago, and it rarely turned out well, because the lobotomy turned the patient into an overgrown child-like mental cripple that many families were incapable of managing.

          Permanent institutional confinement worked reasonably well at the time, but misguided do-gooders and tight state budgets resulted in the state hospitals being closed, and today there is ZERO chance of their being reopened.

          1. That was me, ethyl. I don’t think it’s a *good* solution, but I also believe we are headed into a sharp economic decline, and we simply won’t have resources to lock up all the people who need to be locked up, whether that’s in jail or in psych hospitals. Those things are luxury goods. I am not advocating for it, but if we do not see a return of common, relatively swift, state executions for all the things the US used to do that for (murder, horse thievery, etc.), then we will inevitably see a return of lynch mobs, rail-riding, blood feuds, and other more traditional forms of non-governmental ‘justice’.

            I don’t think we need to imprison people for minor crimes, but letting them off with community service clearly doesn’t work. One does wonder if public caning such as Singapore has, might be both more effective and cheaper, for such things as shoplifting, vandalism, etc.

          2. Also, I have no idea what a “turns out well” option would even look like, when you’re talking about violent, probably brain-damaged, possibly possessed, low-IQ people who cannot safely be released to roam the world freely.

            I do not think there is a good option. There are a whole array of bad options, differing in price, and danger to the public. But there’s no state program that can rehab these people.

        Yeah, kids with fetal alcohol syndrome scare the hell out of me, some appear to have absolutely no conscience whatsoever. That’s one of the reasons why reserves are so bloody dangerous, sometimes several generations of it.
