Republic of Kev

The ostensibly outraged feminist must say that, "Kevin Williamson wants to hang one-third of American women." Little do they know that this use of statistics points out that abortion has become so common as to be mundane.

Jessica, please. In the Republic of Kev, a woman who has already had an abortion would be grandmothered in, so to speak. The capital punishment regime would be a deterrent to new abortions, and the actual number of hanged women would be relatively low.

I'm not signatory to much of anything that Kev has to say, including this. It does say a lot about the protected status of women in the workplace that the female staff at the "Atlantic," would have had a good argument for a hostile work environment.

And it speaks volumes about the women involved, they just wanted to no-platform Kev. You'd think all these young firebrand female polemicists would enjoy having a Kev around to sharpen and temper their arguments.

Female columnists probably skew higher in neuroticism than average.

The Jessicas want a media representation of a young woman's abortion to be a moment of sisterhood with your friends Hannah and Marnie and Jessa being supportive.

Young women are conditioned to think of their first abortion as a rite of passage.

I wonder if Kevin regrets deactivating his Twitter account.

The Language of Lindsay Shepherd

Lindsay Shepherd does not have a Wikipedia page. The left has embargoed all content. She must be a very dangerous person.

Defiant bemusement.

Shepherd has conventionally liberal positions on gay marriage and climate change. In her Goodbye to the Left video, she rejects the "white guilt" narrative.

Shepherd invited Faith Goldy to Wilfrid Laurier University to give a speech entitled, "Ethnocide." That's a provocative way of talking about native displacement, and Shepherd is now labeled a Nazi for her troubles.

There is clearly something very serious going on with Lindsay Shepherd. Her evolution is happening right before our eyes.

If you call her a "crying white girl," she's just going to wonder why.

Eventually, Shepherd will remember Maslow's Hammer, and realize white guilt is just a tool.

Maybe the unthinging that the left does so well should be used on them. Colonization? That's not a thing. Once they define terms, they've lost the argument.

The Social Indignation Boycott

Boycotts are not the "free market." They are conducted by ostensibly free people, but they are not the workings of a "free market." Not when producers are made to weather abuse over an everyday business decision like marketing.

A free market is when countless individuals exercise their discretions in myriad ways. A boycott these days means a company has violated some queer social contract. Very occasionally an airline or whatnot will endure some mild general opprobrium, but that's nothing compared to the social outrage boycott.

Markets may operate more fairly or efficiently if more information is available to both parties to transactions. But Media Matters isn't Consumer Reports.

Yes, I did say "ostensibly free people." There is coercion involved, and people's livelihoods directly threatened. You think they will stop there?

The above-all reason to generally disdain boycotts is that they are invariably instigated by collectivists.
