The #MeToo phenomenon ran its course?

Posted on November 29, 2018 by Walter H. Schneider

The #MeToo phenomenon ran its course?  Who knows, and, if so, what will take its place?  Its consequences will probably be with us for some time to come. On October 15, 2017, actress Alyssa Milano encouraged spreading the hashtag #MeToo, to attempt to draw attention to sexual assault and harassment.[10][21] Milano later acknowledged earlier use of the phrase by Burke.[18] —Wikipedia In 2006, Tarana Burke had tried to bring the phrase  “Me Too” to prominence.  Alyssa Milano succeeded in doing so.  Thanks to Twitter, her effort to popularize the hashtag struck a note.  The consequences were immediate and apparently will be with us for a while. Intentional or not, such is the power of effective propaganda, using … Continue reading →

Islamic Rape of Europe : Hype? Justified Claim?

Posted on November 27, 2018 by Walter H. Schneider

Update 2018 11 29: Appended links to related interviews by Ezra Levant The Islamic Rape of Europe is an exaggeration, but it became a world-wide concern after numerous instances of sexual groping of women on New Years Eve in Cologne, Germany.  What is the truth?  Are the growing public concerns over increasing numbers of rapes and other violent crimes by immigrants in Europe justified?  Perhaps. No link was identified with that image. The claim that the image on the magazine cover is exploding across Europe is at best an exaggeration, if not outright hype.  If such an explosion were happening, we would most certainly notice it being mentioned in the … Continue reading →

Domestic violence: Would you sign this contract?

Posted on November 24, 2018 by Walter H. Schneider

Domestic violence: Would you sign this contract to help to reduce domestic violence or even to find marital bliss? An employer can at any time dismiss an employee without justification and have that employee imprisoned if he objects too strongly to his dismissal. For example, if the employee raises his voice in anger he may be arrested for ‘violence’. In any event, an employer can dismiss an employee regardless of the circumstances, and at his sole discretion. He can fire him from his job whenever he wishes, no matter how long the employee has served with the company and even if the employee has done absolutely nothing wrong. Further, the … Continue reading →

‘Science 2.0’ weighs in — Alessandro Strumia’s reputation

Posted on October 5, 2018 by Walter H. Schneider

Last updated 2018 10 11 ‘Science 2.0’ weighs in on the destruction of Alessandro Strumia’s character, motivations, reputation and career prospects. »Strumia’s slides contain a collection of half-baked claims, coming from his analysis of InSpire data from citations and authorship of articles in theoretical physics. I consider his talk offensive on many levels. It starts by casting the woman discrimination issue in scientific academia as a test of hypothesis of whether the “man-woman” symmetry is explicitly broken (i.e. there is no symmetry) or spontaneously broken (by a difference of treatment) – something that could even raise a smile in a geeky physicist; but the fun ends there. He uses all … Continue reading →

Equality of Outcomes destroys Freedom

Posted on September 3, 2018 by Walter H. Schneider

Update 2018 09 20 Efforts to bring about equality of outcomes destroy freedom, as explained in this: “A society that puts equality—in the sense of equality of outcome—ahead of freedom will end up with neither equality nor freedom. The use of force to achieve equality will destroy freedom, and the force, introduced for good purposes, will end up in the hands of people who use it to promote their own interests.” —Milton and Rose Friedman, in Free to Choose: A Personal Statement Take the example of article 15 of The Constitution of India.  It addresses the “Prohibition of discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth.”  Article … Continue reading →

Family courts solve divorce applications backlog

Posted on June 12, 2018 by Walter H. Schneider

Family Courts (they essentially give marching orders to Child Protective Services) – put in place to solve a growing divorce applications backlog – target men.  They also seriously hurt children. Family courts were to mitigate the divorce applications backlog in the regular court system (in the early 1960s, waiting periods for court hearings after divorce applications were three and more years – and rapidly growing longer). The growing divorce applications backlog was a consequence of the legalization of ‘no-fault’ divorce. In ‘no-fault’ divorce, the default position is nevertheless that the fault is placed on the shoulders of the men. All of that works exceedingly well, so that, if they cannot … Continue reading →

Seven Genders – Why not more?

Posted on March 7, 2018 by Walter H. Schneider

…. previous page Updated 2018 12 15: minor edits Part of the multi-part series: ‘Single-Gender Classes’ Index and preamble for series Seven genders – why stop there? There were of course people, well-endowed with common sense, who argued against letting anyone get a foot into the door of the time-honoured discussion of Nature vs. Nurture and pointed out that, if Nature no longer matters; Gender is a very flexible thing, “a construct”; The number of sexual orientations need not be limited by choice as much as by human imagination (and no one knows where the limits of that may be); Gender need not to be cast in stone, and the … Continue reading →

Gender Under Re-Construction – Social Justice Warriors at Work

Posted on March 7, 2018 by Walter H. Schneider

…. previous page Part of the multi-part series: ‘Single-Gender Classes’ Index and preamble for series Gender under re-construction: Social justice warriors (SJWs) had been fighting for a long time to have co-ed classes for both sexes, but, once they had achieved to make them a reality, that was just a first step.  They also demanded that the term sex, to identify biological differences between males and females of the human species, was not longer desired.  They deemed that term to be sexist, discriminatory to the minuscule minorities of what not very long ago were five different genders (apparently to teach those a lesson who thought that there are only two sexes). … Continue reading →

Single-gender classes

Posted on March 7, 2018 by Walter H. Schneider

1st part of the multi-part series: ‘Single-Gender Classes’ Index Introduction Gender Under Re-Construction – Social Justice Warriors at Work Seven genders – Why not more? Gender Re-education creates fluency in Gender-Newspeak Next to come: The unacceptable solution – Return to simplicity and Single-sex Classes for Two Sexes Once upon a time, single-gender classes were thought to be important.  Once-upon a time they were the rule, when they were called boys-classes or -schools, and girls-classes or -schools, when things were still simple and there were thought (or claimed) to be only two sexes, but that changed. Single-sex classes (as they were at times called) were out, and co-ed classes were in.  Today, the … Continue reading →

Second-wave Feminism — Ideological Foundation

Posted on February 26, 2018 by Walter H. Schneider

…. previous page Part of the series ‘Communism → second-wave feminism → social re-engineering’ Index and preamble for series The ideological foundation of Second-wave Feminism Second-wave Feminism  is (as are most other forms of feminism) firmly rooted in communism and in the prevalence throughout history of socialism and its never-changing goal, Utopia, Paradise on Earth. Communism can be made impervious to all criticism, by giving it a name that makes it untouchable, say, Feminism.  Communism and any other ideology become intrepid, as soon as they assume the label or even only the appearance of being an aspect of feminism. “Feminism, Socialism, and Communism are one in the same, and Socialist/Communist … Continue reading →
