The Case Against The Sexual Revolution (Louise Perry)

By William Collins: This post is mainly a review of Louise Perry’s book. However, the last section also serves another purpose. I was not surprised to get some push-back on my last post, A Gentleman’s Strike. The last section, below, The Way Forward, is my amplification of what I was trying to get at, approached from the positive rather than the negative perspective. But now to The Case Against the Sexual Revolution…

*****

The Main Event

I will have some harsh things to say about this book. But I would not wish that to distract from the only issue that really matters: the author’s conclusion regarding the sexual revolution and the recommended way forward. Simply put, she concludes that the sexual revolution has been very bad for women and a far better path through life (for women) is to embrace chastity outside of marriage and monogamy within marriage.

Some of us have been saying that for decades. I must add that I think that marriage and family is the most fulfilling path through life for men too. I also agree with the author that marriage should ideally be life-long, though she seems to doubt that this is a practical possibility. The life-long commitment to marriage and monogamy, and confining sex to marriage, are a price worth paying for stable families and a decent society comprised of contented individuals.

Where Perry and I differ is the little matter of whether real marriage still exists to render this ideal easily achieved.

In broadest summary my criticism of the book is the same overarching criticism I had of Mary Harrington’s book (reviewed by me here plus here, and here), namely that, for all I applaud their direction of travel and recommended course of action, the gynocentrism of these women remains firmly in place.

Iranian Retaliation And The Context That Led To The 200+ Missile Launch

Two Tier Kier lies his arse off for his masters the Jews. The reality is that Iran only targeted military installations in retaliation for massive attacks by the Jews. The iron dome is a joke, the Jews invincibility has been put to the test by Iran and the party of god [Hesb-Allah] in The Lebanon who are slaughtering the wannabe invader Jews. The Jews' so-called best army in the world has been put to the test, they have failed that test miserably. The Jews passed the killing children with US supplied fighter jets and raping hostages test with flying colours.

'The Biden/Harris Doctrine' Has Brought The World Closer To World War III + Trump: "Liz Cheney Is A Stupid Warhawk" Who Wants To "Shoot Missiles At People"

President Trump was right when he said the Biden/Harris national security policies are so bad that they have brought us closer to nuclear war and World War III.

Authored by Fred Fleitz: By a strange turn of fate, on October 1, 2024, the day that Iran launched the largest ballistic missile attack ever against Israel, Foreign Affairs magazine published an article by Secretary of State Antony Blinken in which he claimed “the Biden administration’s strategy has put the United States in a much stronger geopolitical position today than it was four years ago” and that Iran is being held in check.

A year earlier, Foreign Affairs published another tragically erroneous article by National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, which said, “Although the Middle East remains beset with perennial challenges, the region is quieter than it has been for decades.” Six days after this article was posted, Hamas launched a sneak attack against Israel, massacring more than 1,200 people and maiming and injuring many more. In a stunning violation of journalistic ethics, Foreign Affairs allowed Sullivan to revise his article after the Hamas terrorist attack. Here is a link to the original version.

In these articles, Biden officials are trying to rewrite history by manufacturing false narratives of a successful Biden national security doctrine that they claim has enhanced U.S. and global security.

This is, of course, preposterous. Not only has there been a huge increase in global instability since Donald Trump left office in January 2021, the Biden-Harris administration has brought the world closer to World War III because of an increased chance Russia could use nuclear weapons against Ukraine, the real prospect of an Israel-Iran War, a new Russia-China-Iran-North Korea Axis, a growing chance that China will attack Taiwan, and other current and potential crises.

Scientists Identify New Protein That Drives Age-Related Blindness, Uncover Potential Therapy

"I think we identified something that can target early-stage disease... That’s a big deal..."

Authored by Cara Michelle Miller: Researchers have identified a protein that may prevent age-related macular degeneration (AMD), according to a new study published in the Developmental Cell on Oct. 2.

AMD is the leading cause of vision loss among older adults, affecting nearly 20 million Americans. As the population ages, this number is expected to rise significantly. Currently, there are no treatments that can stop AMD’s progression.

“I think we identified something that can target early-stage disease. ... That’s a big deal,” the study’s lead author Ruchira Singh, an associate professor of ophthalmology at the University of Rochester in New York, told The Epoch Times.

The study used human stem cells rather than animal models, which may give a more accurate depiction of what is happening in AMD, according to the researchers.

“Older research methods have been limited in their ability to capture important aspects of either healthy or diseased human cells,” Singh noted.

Researchers Identify the Protein Driving AMD

The researchers extracted human stem cells from healthy people and AMD patients and programmed them into cells lining the retina.

Compared to healthy people, AMD patients’ retinal cells overproduced a type of protein called tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 3 (TIMP3), which leads to a buildup of fats and proteins called drusen. Drusen are a marker of early-stage AMD.

European Faux Hebrew White Neo-Jews' Israel Regime's Gaza Mega Concentration Camp For Indigenous Christians & Muslims

Al Jazeera English: This feature length investigation by Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit exposes the European Faux Hebrew White Neo-Jews' war crimes in the Gaza mega concentration camp through the medium of photos and videos posted online by Israeli soldiers themselves during the year long conflict.

 

The I-Unit has built up a database of thousands of videos, photos and social media posts. Where possible it has identified the posters and those who appear.

 

The material reveals a range of illegal activities, from wanton destruction and looting to the demolition of entire neighbourhoods and murder.

At This Time In The World There Is Only One Important Decision Waiting to be Made

'The neoconservatives’ agenda of hegemony has produced a more dangerous situation than the Cuban Missile Crisis, and Washington has not acted to defuse the crisis.'

By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: Except for the neoconservatives whose agenda it is, I sometimes wonder if I am the only other person who understands what the Ukraine conflict is about. While we await Washington’s decision about firing missiles into Russia, I will explain how we reached the current crisis.

In 2007 Washington declared war on Russia without announcing it. Putin provoked Washington’s secret declaration of war when he rejected Washington’s uni-polar hegemony at the Munich Security Conference.

Washington’s first attack was a year later when, while Putin was distracted at the Beijing Olympics, Washington sent a US trained and equipped Georgian army into South Ossetia. The purpose was not to defeat Russia militarily. Instead, it was a calculated risk that Putin might stand down and to avoid a military conflict that the West could misrepresent as restoring the Soviet Empire, and allow the Russian protectorate to be absorbed into Georgia. The American neoconservatives were gambling with lives not their own that Putin and thereby Russia would be weakened by giving in, thus opening more paths of aggression against Russia.

The neoconservatives’ plot against Putin might have worked except the Georgian invaders killed Russian peace-keepers. In 2008 Putin was trying to resurrect Russian pride, which was lost with the Soviet collapse 1991, and could not turn his back on dead Russian soldiers in South Ossetia. He returned from China, sent in an army, and smashed the US trained and equipped Georgian army in 5 days.
