The Year Of Reckoning

I can always count on the StarTribune, the suck-up stepchild of the New York Times and Washington Post, to get it wrong, but at least I know what the opposition is spouting.

Front page news, today, 12/30/17: article on women: For women,  a year of reckoning, by Kayla Epstein of the Washington Post.

Epstein begins by pointing out that this year with world marching for womens' rights and powerful men being brought down for sexual harassment and abuse of women. Okay, so far I note.

But what has changed for women in 2017, she asks, particularly in government and policy. Note that a Leftist always couches concerns for women as something the government needs to be involved in and do something about. Why does the government need to be involved at all? What business is it of the government's? Do the solutions need to be legal and enforced by sniveling, self-righteous bureaucrats, predatory lawyers and tyrannical judges way overstepping their bounds, legislating actively from the bench?

Here is Leftist psychology: All women are victims, especially of white middle-aged men. All women, 52% of our population, as victims and persons are helpless to fend for themselves against the men in their lives, the men at work, the men up the street, the men on the freeway, the men in the government. These female victims are identified as a group, female victims, to be legally, legislatively and judicially protected from cavemen, by government enforcement to guarantee them minimum quality of life and protection.

With this premise established, Ms. Epstein asks what has changed for women this year in government and policy. She begins by criticizing Trump for fighting the funding of sex education, for how colleges handle sexual assault cases and how some workers obtain birth control. Notice how a Leftist makes a angry, resentful premise about victimhood and injustice against a group (women), then  offers a problem of oppression and abuse of women--by blaming the President in particular--and conservatives in general for sexual assaults on campus, for keeping little girls sexually ignorant so that they can get pregnant and not get abortions, and those nasty nuns are not providing abortion services for their women employees.

SOLUTION: ONE PARTY SOCIALIST DICTATORSHIP RUN BY HILARY FOR LIFE TO IMPRISON DONALD, NUNS AND COLLEGE ADMINISTRATORS THAT DO NOT CASTRATE EVERY YOUNG MAN ACCUSED OF HAVING SEX WITH A COED, WITH OR WITHOUT HER CONSENT.

Epstein wants to global gag rule lifted so that women from around the planet can talk to other countries' nongovernmental organizations that perform or discuss abortions, including prevent the spread of the Zika virus or AIDS.

Vicious Trump then asserts that funding for preventing teen pregnancy would be end in June, 2018. Then mean Trump allowed employers to refuse to cover birth control on their insurance plans on religious grounds. Epstein writes that those Leftist judges are at work immediately as legal challenges everywhere are preventing Trump from implementing his restrictions. Epstein notes that all paying for birth control coverage, including abortion, was part of Obamacare, another reason to repeal and replace that entitlement going nowhere but financial ruination of our children and grandchildren.

Why do the Feds, from the Left or the Right, need to stick their nose into local concerns like sexual assault on campus, whether the legal standard of proof is preponderance of evidence, or clear and convincing proof--which I favor? The Feds can't run Washington. Let the Legislature, the regents and college administrators decide how to handle sexual assault on any local campus. Call real police officers to do real investigations if an assault or alleged assault occurs. We need to downsize overreaching government, and, Kayla, this is a perfect place to start having them withdraw.

It is all Trump's fault. He is not having as many women in his administration as other Administrations. Kayla, since Trump is the source of all modern evil, is there anything else that you can dream up to accuse him of.

Now, I have a few suggestions to offer for you and other militant feminists to glom onto that will actually benefit women, make them liberated, powerful, rich and happy, all with no government help. Are you on board? Is this a meme that you could get hold of?

First, all women need to be treated with courtesy, dignity and respect, period, no qualification.

Second, if girls were raised to be self-actualizing individualists, that individual-live first, and group-live second, they would be so confident, smart, strong-willed, assertive, effective and capable, they would never settle for being treated without courtesy, dignity and respect. When 52% of the population, each time, every time, immediately attack and slap down any aggressor that mistreats them, belittles them, discriminates against them sexually harasses them or sexually assaults them, these feisty, virtuous girls and women will not require government involvement to force the vast majority of men in their lives to behave. Social pressure will solve the problem.

Third, if girls learned to worship the Mother, as well as the Father, they will quickly grasp that no one pushes the Mother around. She can be justifiably violent towards those who attack her, and divine wrath is a fearful thing. In a small way, if women made in her image and likeness, similarly, aggressively respond,  no male stands much of a chance of abusing or victimizing these fighters. Again, all achieved without government direction and tutelage.

Fourth, if we can teach our women and girls to be female warriors, as wives, students, children, mothers, soldiers, workers and teachers, to conceal-carry and be heavily trained in the martial arts as part of serving in the federal army and in God's spiritual army, these militant, courageous, never-helpless, armed, daring females will be able to handle any trouble coming their way from men without government protection.

Fifth, if we can bring up our girls to live as supercitizens, as anarchist-individuators in our American constitutional republic, no one will ever be able to push around or take advantage of these females, Think of the quality of girls and boys, straight and gay, that such women will bring up and bring into the world. When women are held down, humanity is held down. When women fail, humanity fails.

Sixth, let us end socialism in America, and protect individualism, private property rights, personal liberty and a limited federalism to free up women and girls economically to make, hold and amass substantial personal wealth. Women with money are women empowered. Get the government out of their way and out of their lives, so women as producers, businesspeople and employees can generate goods and services that enrich all.
