Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules For MGTOW
"MGTOW is actually a way to have a path through this chaotic dystopian anti-civilisation anti-human ethos that seems to be dominating the lame stream, the departure from due process, the gleeful destruction of the undermining of Western civilisation by our elected foliticians and so on. I'm going to use Jordan Peterson's rules to establish to demonstrate that MGTOW in fact is a path through all that for men." Said johntheother.
Medieval Understanding Of Gender More Sophisticated Than Modern Dogma
By Author Douglas Galbi: Women are wonderful. Males are evil. The male and female genders are equal. Gender equality advances whenever women come to dominate a group, such as college graduates, doctors, and elementary school teachers. Compared to this modern dogma, medieval thinkers had a more sophisticated understanding of gender.Medieval women weren’t taught to fear rapists everywhere. In the Middle Ages, a man’s penis wasn’t regarded as a weapon of violence. Ancient literature recognized that a penetrating penis provides pleasure to the encompassing body.
Nonetheless, disparaging and oppressing men’s sexuality has a long and sordid history. The relatively enlightened Middle Ages wasn’t immune to that hateful social direction. Matthew of Vendôme’s twelfth-century expansion of the Book of Tobit depicted Sarah as fearful on her wedding night:
The maiden is afraid and is drenched in tender tears: the
first little lump of earth fears the use of the unknown plowshare.
{ Virgo timet, teneris lacrimis exuberat: usum
Vomeris ignoti primula gleba timet. } [1]

Is Watching Pornography A Form Of Cheating? It Depends
By Dr. David Ley: Pornography is a hot-button issue of the day, and every season, more states add themselves to the list of legislatures that have declared pornography, and Internet pornography, to be a public health crisis. Often, these legislative efforts identify pornography as having blanket negative effects on people, and especially on couples. Historically, many have claimed that porn use causes divorce and marital difficulties on the basis of pretty sloppy data and research. Recent research is finding that the effects of porn on marriage vary greatly, depending upon some characteristics of the marriage and the porn use. Nonreligious couples who watch porn together seem to be quite well insulated from experiencing any negative effects from porn use.
But, isn’t watching porn the equivalent of cheating—getting sex outside the marriage? Dr. Phil has suggested (link is external)that watching porn is “not OK” and likely opens the door to cheating. Antiporn group Fight the New Drug proclaims (link is external)that watching porn is cheating, because it feels like it, and because of oxytocin. (They suggest that watching porn releases oxytocin in the brain, which causes you to “bond” with the porn, rather than your real life partner). And the explicitly religious organization Covenant Eyes declares (link is external)that using porn is cheating, because it is “engagement with a digital prostitute despite one’s vow to forsake all others.”

RT: Kim Dotcom has called on Twitter to stop 'censoring' tweets, saying he’ll create an alternative to the social network if it continues. Dotcom told RT he believes Twitter is targeting tweets about late DNC staffer Seth Rich. If you keep messing with our free speech @jack I will build a team to create a Twitter alternative, without censorship. Twitter could be toast within a year. I hear you’re hurting about the Trump presidency. Don’t let your frustration destroy your business. #StopTwitterCensorship— Kim Dotcom (@KimDotcom) 4 March 2018
Feminist Janice Turner Says That Banning Male Infant Ritual Genital Mutilation Is A Win For The Far Right
By Mike Buchanan, J4MB: Janice Turner is one of numerous feminist columnists in The Times, the newspaper to which I subscribe anyway, there being no UK newspapers uninfected by feminists. She married Ben Preston, also a feminist, executive editor of The Sunday Times, a former editor of the Radio Times, and a former deputy editor of The Times. Ben won our Toady award whilst at the Radio Times.

A piece in today’s edition (emphases ours) below.When a Jewish friend of mine was circumcised as an infant, the rabbi’s blade slipped, he lost blood, was taken to hospital and almost died. When his own son was born, my friend and his gentile wife debated circumcision at length before demurring: “It just felt barbaric.” Yet when I ask if he’d ban the practice, as is now proposed in Iceland, he instantly says no: “It is the mark of my tribe.”
I tell his story not to suggest hypocrisy but to show how a person can contain within them two conflicting ideas. My friend is an atheist and a Jew: the Enlightenment belief in freeing human minds and bodies from religious doctrine sits within him alongside a deeper, atavistic desire to share ancestral rites. But how can you reconcile them when the ritual involves slicing a piece off a newborn child?

Trump Threatens Europe: "We Will Tax Your Cars"
By Tyler Durden: This is how trade wars escalate: Trump hasn't even officially announced the steel and aluminum import tariffs, expected to be formally unveiled this coming week, and the rhetoric is already one of World Trade War I doom and gloom.Hours after Trump tweeted on Friday morning that “trade wars are good, and easy to win,” European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said the bloc is prepared to respond quickly and forcefully by targeting imports of Harley-Davidson motorbikes, Levi Strauss & Co. jeans and bourbon whiskey from the U.S.
According to some, the preliminary EU retaliation was targeted in a way that would maximize political pressure on American leaders: Harley-Davidson is based in House Speaker Paul Ryan’s home state of Wisconsin, while bourbon whiskey hails from the state of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. San Francisco-based Levi Strauss is headquartered in House Minority Leader’s Nancy Pelosi’s district.
As Bloomberg noted, Juncker’s threat heightened the prospects of a global free-for-all, as the World Trade Organization said the potential of escalating tensions “is real” and the International Monetary Fund warned the restrictions would likely damage the U.S. and global economy. It also prompted speculation that in light of the widespread condemnation by US trading partners and allies, that Trump might step back and reconsider the sanctions. This in turn led to a late-day burst in the stock market.
