Despite claiming to be a conservative Republican, Ron probably isn't aware that people just want to film themselves shooting something.

Truly confusing article. This comment sums it up well

My mind is blown. That was probably fifteen hundred words about how stereotypes and attitudes about fat people are being promoted by...a character that isn’t fat.

I am obsessed with this woman.
This may be the best thing she has written: https://www.bu.edu/arion/files/2017/09/Arion-Camille-Paglia-Junkbonds-Corporate-Raiders.pdf

She also extrapolates on what I said a few months ago about women being followers and men being more natural loners, often to their detriment. Women seek female companionship and acceptance far more than men seek male companionship and acceptance. This is why girls are often so well behaved at school: they don't want to rock the boat. Whereas boys are more willing to. This is often articulated in a sociological phenomenon (i.e. "girls have higher social expectations placed upon them to be well behaved") but I am arguing it from a biological framework as well. This is further exemplified in female mate selection. Women want the man all the other women want even if they previously were not attracted to that man. Simply finding out other women want him makes her want him.

More data:

Quote
The women were asked to rate how attractive they found each image before being shown the average rating given by the rest of the group.

Interestingly, when the women were asked to re-rate each image shortly after, their answer changed in favour of the social information.

On average, a participant changed their initial rating by around 13 per cent when rating the attractiveness of men’s faces depending on what other women had said.

Quote
ewomen performed significantly better and were more prudent in identifying norm violations while being confident in their ability to follow social norms better when compared to men — who had limited abilities when it came to an understanding and following rules. Similar findings have been confirmed by different research investigations across the globe, especially in the context of following norms during the covid-19 pandemic.

https://feminisminindia.com/2022/07/06/women-are-better-rule-followers-than-men-but-what-does-it-get-them/

Fascinating. Women care more about female opinion and consensus more than men care about male consensus.

And this brings us to Camille Paglia, a woman that describes herself as transgender and never felt female in her entire life.

"There's no female Mozart because there's no female Jack the Ripper." Wow.

It's also interesting how she's right. Men obsess in a way women don't. Women can be highly talented, often more than men, but women are less selfish and more willing to give up a pursuit. This is why you see so many career women give up their careers and settle down with a man. Yeah, they live a less rich life but she's happy. Men though. Men obsess and get tunnell visioned with our eye on the prize. This leads to an effect where we are selfish but we end up damn good in the things we obsess over.

There's a video, and I'll try to find it, where Camille expresses that women NEED female socialization like they need air to function and that research shows that women that have a strong female social network tend to get breast cancer at lower rates. Men aren't like that. We like our bros but socialization like air? No way man.

From a biological perspective this is all fascinating AF to me.

she's got some interesting things to say. she also fucked up though. there is no female mozart because there is also no other male mozart. just mozart himself.

there is no male fiona apple and I place her higher than mozart tbh

Oklahoma bans more than a dozen woke banks from doing business with the state

The ban impacts some of the largest asset managers and banks in the country including BlackRock, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and State Street. BlackRock alone reported in April that it has a staggering $9.1 trillion in assets under management.

One of my favorite things is how insistent social justice types are that bigots or fascists or whatever believe exactly whatever elaborate nonsense the social justice people think they do. "What do you mean they aren't constructing some complex detailed theory and just going with a gut 'don't like' feeling and 'sounds good' to proposals? Of course they're erecting a superstructure and they all subscribe to every part of it! That's just what fascists do!"

Wasted five minutes trying to gain context for all that. First thing I see, that lady is the daughter of a actor from Dances with Wolves. Second thing I learn, the dad has five wives. Third thing I learn, SWAT raided his house because he led and armed a cult. Fourth thing I learned, they found he was sexually abusing indigenous children. That’s not related to the lady herself, but boy, that was a ride. (There’s nothing interesting about the lady. Her ambitions were to be a model. She became a model. That’s about it.)

Karl Lagerguy, allegedly dead, looked like Albert Wesker with a botox addiction. I guess he made clothing or something.
