Third Wave Feminist Protests In Poland As Proposed Laws Curtail Women's Privileges

Religiously conservative Law & Justice party embarks on cool nuclear family agenda, described as ‘payback time for the church’ after years of feminist anti-male neo-liberalism

By Alex Duval Smith: Campaigners are planning to step up resistance to Poland’s conservative government after it cleared a constitutional path for hardline law changes, expected to include a total ban on abortion and curbs to gender and human rights.

Tens of thousands joined mass demonstrations in the run-up to the law change, which would curtail the independence of the constitutional tribunal – the country’s highest legislative court. But to the dismay of women’s rights activists, no protests greeted the government’s first concrete policy move – to scrap subsidies for IVF in public hospitals.
Since the Law & Justice party gained an absolute majority in parliament in October, it has not fully declared that it will ban abortion but its MPs attempted the move under the previous coalition with the centrist Civic Platform party.
The avowed radical feminist politician Barbara Nowacka, leader of the United Left coalition, called for defenders of the constitution to embrace women’s extra privileges.

How To Create Gender Propaganda Like Feminists Do 101

Couldn't get that #DearDaddy video out of my head, so I decided to make fun of it some more by creating my own version of it. See how easy it is to make propaganda? Just have some sad music playing in the background, say the word "Mommy" a lot, and make up a horribly sad story. Emotional manipulation, guilt-tripping, and fear-mongering. Easy peasy.

Top Editor Quits US Journal Two Weeks After Jewish Zionist Propagandist Oligarch Sheldon Adelson Buys It

A newspaper is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant and the crazy crazier. H.L. Mencken

By Michael Krieger: The saga surrounding American oligarch Sheldon Adelson’s purchase of Las Vegas’ largest newspaper, The Review-Journal, is turning into a murder-mystery of sorts, with the primary victim being the truth.

There’s a lot to cover here, so let’s get to it. First a little background from last week’s post, Sheldon Adelson Revealed as Mystery Buyer of the Las Vegas Review-Journal:

For nearly a week, the media and political worlds have been wondering who paid $140 million to purchase Nevada’s largest daily newspaper, The Las Vegas Review-Journal. The primary buyer had taken great pains to remain anonymous, but Fortune has learned from multiple sources familiar with the situation that it is Sheldon Adelson, chairman and CEO of casino operator Las Vegas Sands Corp.
What remains unclear is why Adelson has refused to come forward.

More Than Half Of Workers Think Women’s Behaviour In The Office Is Dictated By Their Hormones, Survey Reveals

Via Francis J4MB: The piece (by a female reporter, predictably) is presented with four bullet points at the start:

Poll found 54 per cent thought women’s decisions controlled by hormones
2,000 questioned and just under half said sexes had different capabilities
More than two thirds said they ‘did not believe’ in a gender pay gap
Pollsters said the results were ‘worrying’ for women in the work place

There’s a sentence in the article you might expect to find in the Guardian, rather than the Daily Mail:

More than two thirds of workers also said they ‘did not believe’ in the gender pay gap – despite official statistics showing it stands at 9.4 per cent for full-time employees.

Naima Shereen Mirza, 21, Falsely Claimed She Had Been Raped So She Could Resit Her A-Levels, Jailed For Two Years

Via Francis J4MB: For once, with respect to women making false rape allegations, justice has been done. A clue for the police was that the man she named as her rapist was in prison at the time. The end of the article:

Sentencing Mirza, Sheriff Michael O’Grady QC told her: ‘In many years in these courts in one capacity or another, I have come across the whole range of hateful, hideous and downright bizarre things that people do to each other and the world at large.
‘But I doubt, however, in all that time that I have encountered a course of conduct so strange, so needless and so hard to fathom as yours.’
He added: ‘It is also a course of conduct that is selfish, devious and persistent to a truly remarkable degree’.
He said resources were diverted from ‘genuine crimes where genuine victims were anxiously and fearfully waiting for their assailants to be brought to book’, adding: ‘That is not only appalling, it is positively cruel.’

The Big Short: "Every American [One In The World] Should See This Movie & Be Fucking Pissed Off"

“The truth is like poetry
and most people fucking hate poetry.”

The Big Short opens nationwide today. But it happened to have one showing last night at a theater near me. My youngest son and I hopped in the car and went to see it. I loved the book by Michael Lewis. The cast assembled for the movie was top notch, but having the director of Anchorman and Talledaga Nights handle a subject matter like high finance seemed odd.

And a gallon drum of Dom Perignon
Bring me my Black Russian and in a magnum
No, a double magnum. No, a Jeroboam.
