whom Do You Serve?

Posted on by Sarah A. Hoyt

Remember the 2012 DNC? The guy on the street interview? “We all have to belong to something, so why not belong to the government?” while I was screaming at the screen “Some of us prefer to be self-owned and not slaves!”

Funny times. It appears many women — not all but many — particularly the exquisitely indoctrinated ones think they must belong to “women” and that by virtue of being born “female” they owe some kind of allegiance to other people born with a vagina. And that goes double, with a cherry on top if they also happen to tan. They then belong to “people of vaginitude” and “Tan group”.

Note “people of vaginitude” because often these are also people who can’t define what a woman is, and frankly, no one can define race very well, and whatever it is it’s not as Americans see it. (Kamala might tan slightly darker than I, maybe. I do however have more African ancestry. Not saying I’m black, note. That’s complicated. And the one drop standard is stupid.)

But even those women who seem to know that women is not something assigned at birth, but something observed at birth, and who are starting to be red pilled will default to reflex genuflections at the mention of “fellow woman.”

Dr. Naomi Wolf is a good example of it. On X she was being all ruffled because saying Kamala advanced on her knees was some kind of sexist remark. This shouldn’t surprise me, as she also took Trump saying that Occasional Cortex is dumber than rocks as being “sexist” and an insult to all women.

Marxism is a helluva drug. It causes women (and some people who tan) to demean themselves and think of themselves as widgets with no individuation, will or agency.

So, from the top: If I say that man — say old Joe — is a disgusting old pedophile who showered with his daughter, will that cause every man to tell me I can’t say that because that’s sexist, a low blow, and demeaning to all men? No?

Then why would saying Kamala is a ho who got into politics on her knees and whose only demonstrated ability is what she did while on her knees bother “all women” and be considered sexist and a low blow? Enlighten me.

Oh, because women are oppressed is it? And a minority despite being a majority by numbers? And Reeeee six thousand years of oppression, you say?

Bullshit. Bullshit on stilts.

Were women oppressed throughout history? Children! PEOPLE were oppressed throughout history. For the few, very few at the top, sure, some women were oppressed sometimes. Of course you read of more women than men being oppressed, but DO consider who writes history. No, not men. Crazy feminists.

Kings were written about more, because they went out to battle and fought and died more. And if you think that’s the good part, or more enviable than staying home minding the demesne, you might be poisoned by story. If I read one more story where a regency lady hates sewing and wants to go to university, it will be one too many. Few men went to university, either. And granted, amid the upper classes in England, a woman’s only way to make a decent living was to marry or be a governess or something. But then among the upper classes in England, a man’s only way to make a decent approved of living was to administer an estate, be a rector, or go to war. None of which are enviable or speak to a lot of freedom. And in the lower classes, people scrambled to survive, did what they could and died young.

Yes, women throughout history got pregnant, and often died. But then men throughout history did the dirty, hard work, outside, and often died young.

There is no choice between the two. They were both terrible. Be glad you live in better times. Spit out the Marx pill. It induces stupidity. Just because someone was oppressed, it doesn’t mean there is a whole group of people who oppressed them. More importantly, it doesn’t mean that group extends unchanging through time.

All the shrieking feminists remind me of the screaming for reparations. The screaming for reparations is demands from people who were never slaves for money and privilege from people who never owned slaves. The shrieking of feminists is a bizarre fear of and desire to beat and humiliate men who never hurt them because they were told that people who had penises in the past hurt their ancestresses. That this would make the men who putatively hurt these women their ancestors too seems to evade them.

Oh, and sure, there were some very bad men who abused power in the past. There are those now too. The fact that they make up abuses of men on the right while giving people like Clinton and Biden a pass just says it’s all Marxism in its feminist skinsuit. (An Edgar suit would be better.)

There were some very bad women in the past too. In fact, you can’t study the royalty of any country without coming across at least one woman who outdid all the men. In Portugal there was the French bride who not only took up with her husband’s younger brother, but managed to depose the king and give the power to his brother. So, you know. There are some bad women too.

The point is humans are humans. I might be diminished because Kamala slept her way to power. But I’m not diminished because someone says she slept her way to power just because she and I both — presumably, and I’m not checking — have vaginas.

You know what I’m diminished by? Women who sleep their way to power and then demand respect. Women like Kamala and AOC and for that matter Hillary, whose only claim to fame is that they are women (and Kamala and AOC “minorities”) and who thereby demand that everyone respect them and be quiet about their atrocious behavior, on penalty of being called “sexist” and “racist.”

Meh. Clinton is also a man-ho. And worse, a predator. So is old Joe. (Yeah, yeah, Trump. Bite me. If the BEST they can bring against him are the ramblings of a broken down ho, and another broken down ho who claims to be a writer of some sort, the man is cleaner than I’d expect of a triple-divorced New York City tycoon. FAR cleaner. Almost impossibly clean, in fact.) And frankly, we didn’t say it enough and we should have. We particularly should have noted how the “feminists” was really quiet on this.

Now, is that the worst that Kamala has done? Oh, pfui. Everything that woman has done is a horror. Probably because she’s an empty shell occupied by evil, but then again, I’m not the owner of her soul, and maybe she still has a scintilla of humanity. Her prolonging the sentences of a lot of incarcerated black men to take advantage of their labor wouldn’t indicate that, but it’s possible, right?

However, sleeping her way to power and being a DEI hire, claiming a race that’s not her own is also something she’s done. (I’m not privy to her 23 and me. Maybe she’s got more recent African — we all have distant African — blood than I have. It’s possible. But note I don’t claim to be black. Because I’m not, either by experience or appearance (except to crazy people, which happens.) And by appearance and experience she’s Indian-American. by ancestry? A lot of ancestors who owned slaves. But one isn’t going to hold that against anyone. Now lying about it? Sure.) And we can’t get the full picture of the horror that is Kamala Harris until we know how much she’s willing to do for the power she then misuses.

It’s not sexist to mention it, because we’ve been mentioning sexual transgressions all along. It’s the left and feminists who have swallowed everything the left tosses out. So to put it.

In fact, it’s sexist to protect women from this type of accusation when we wouldn’t protect men. It’s sexist not to hold sexual transgressions and sexual trading against women, when we hold it against men.

It’s sexist to claim someone is amazing — as the left does, and is already doing about Kamala — because someone happens to be a woman. Just like it was the epitome of racism to claim that Obama was amazing BECAUSE he was black.

And if you think I’m being crazy and that there were no people who did that, in 08 that was the usual answer for my colleagues when asked why he was so amazing: He’s black, and he’s running for president. Honestly old Joe’s “clean and articulate” was less racist, as it at least had other attributes. BUT still incredibly racist in assuming this was something that shouldn’t/ couldn’t be true for black men.

I am so tired of this sexism and racism and general bigoted bullshit flying under the radar of enlightenment and “diversity.”

Because this is real pernicious shit and does real harm. To people like me, my kids, my friend’s kids who have a black father, just about every woman alive today, and everyone who tans at about the level of spun gold (Home depot paint chip. And I wasn’t that tan) or darker.

For the sake of letting a few chosen Marxist-Leninists be above reproach and untouchable, or a few no-talent chosen “artists of the left” be lionized and above critique, we’re selling the birth right of everyone else who shares a single characteristic of them.

I resent this. I resent this with the first of a thousand suns.

I don’t want to be judged as a Woman Writer. Or even a Portuguese Born Writer (which implies a little more effort, at least, since even if I’d come here as a child, I’d have had parents who were ESL. The fact that I’m writing in a language I learned at 14 is at least a little more personal and the result of something I did, not merely was born. But still yet, that’s not the little pool where I want to swim the rest of my life.)

I want to be judged as a writer. As a human. Period.

Look, if we’re going to list all the writers I’m not as good as, we’re going to need a bigger blog and also the next month just to write out lists.

BUT I’m working on it. I’m working really hard. And what I aspire to is being THE BEST. I’ll allow some qualification, because it’s impossible to weigh apples and kumquats together, much less apples and dinosaurs. So I aspire to be the best Space Opera writer. Okay, I’ll never get there. But I want to try. I want to compete in that arena as a writer, not was “a woman” or “A woman of color” (Meh. Pale-ish just now. But not transparent, so still of color) or “An immigrant woman” or any of that.

I’m me. I’ll compete as me. As a human being. And I’ll go up against the best, mano-a-mano, and mostly get clobbered. But what meager victory I earn will be my own, and not of some collective group.

Yes, Alexandria Occasio Cortez is an idiot. Whether she has a brain and doesn’t use it, or never had one and is merely a parrot doesn’t matter. She’s still an idiot. There are brilliant women out there, but my saying that this one woman is a blithering moron doesn’t mean all women are morons. To claim that AOC and Margaret Thatcher are the same because they both have/had vaginas is like claiming that tomatoes and pineapples are the same because they’re both fruits. Outside reproductive purpose, it’s completely irrelevant.

All women who get offended and shriek “Sexist” because we make jokes about knee pads Kamala need to take a step back and THINK. Unless they, too, only got into their profession by orally servicing a powerful man, why are they shrieking? Do they owe such allegiance to the fact they were born with a vagina that they’d diminish themselves to ONLY THAT? Do they think sucking off powerful men is the only way women advance, and it’s therefore mean to talk about it? If the last, they are the sexists, and also should be put away for their safety and that of others. But it is exactly the kind of idiotic belief encouraged by refusing to hold women who behave badly to the same standards as men who behave badly. It encourages the perception women protect corrupt women because we’re all corrupt.

And that is something I will not put up with.

As for everyone who tells we’re too good and too clean to refer to Kamala’s underhanded ascent into politics using sexual favors: that’s cute.

You stand there above the fray and pose for the picture of the world’s most noble loser. But leave the rest of us to fight for our lives.

We are in a fight for the life of the nation. Kamala is a horror, not just in her private, but very much in her public behavior. Note this from the GRAUNIAD of all places. And this that mentions her support of HAMAS. Those happy go lucky butchers of 10-7.
Yet there are many LIVs who will ignore the fact that she falsely imprisoned black men, or used her power to destroy and oppress, or opened our borders to invasion, or paid to free the arsonists and terrorists of BLM– BUT will be prudishly shocked she slept with a married man, and refuse to vote for her.

“But that’s not fair. That’s not why they should be not voting for her,” is a cute whine. And it’s everywhere, right now, particularly on the left. Stop using arguments that come from the left. You know where they pulled them from.

Fair has absolutely nothing to do with it. They’d use it against us because it works. We should use it against them because it works. Oh, and unlike their accusations, happens to be true.

This is not a polite argument in a gentleman’s club. This is a bare knuckle brawl in an alleyway. You fight with everything you have, or you’ll end up dead.

And while death for me is as may be, death for those who depend on me is not. And death for America never is.

Which is what’s at stake. No more, no less.

Draw the line at lying, yes, for the sake of your soul. But unpalatable truths?

They wouldn’t shriek so hard if revealing those truths didn’t have an effect.

Fight like you mean it, and never mind the mud. Mud washes off easier than blood.

  4. I have always been absolutely incensed by the statement – which both my daughter and I got smacked with – that we should of COURSE support Hillary Clinton for the presidency because she is a woman, and so are we. No, she’s a woman ( an un-charming and corrupt one herself) who glommed onto a successful (well, sort of) politician on his way up, and stayed married to the goniff in spite of every humiliation he heaped upon her. Nope. This isn’t Argentina and she isn’t Evita. Being married to a former president doesn’t entitle you to be president yourself.

    And having been the mistress of a successful politician entitles a woman to even less, in my view. Kamala-Sutra is a ho, and not even one with any additional skills at that.

    (The turnover in her staff apparently rivals even the late Sheila Jackson Lee, popularly voted the worst boss on Capitol Hill.)

  9. I see you cleaned the house again yesterday. What have we told you about doing that? >:(

    Dr. Mauser’s blog mentions that [gasp] voting irregularities! have been discovered at Glasgow’s WorldCon. This caused me to comment on his blog, and also to look up the Sad Puppies article on Wikipedia, which after 11 years still screams “Nazis!!!11!” all the way through.

    And it occurred to me that this requires quite the commitment of time and effort. There is a little knot of misery out there that simply will never let it go, no matter what revelations about WorldCon come to light. In this case the revelation is that at least 377 of 3,800 some-odd ballots were obviously fake. The real scandal is that they’ve only got 3,800 total ballots including the obvious fakes, but they’re still pretending they are a world-wide science fiction society and won’t admit they’re really a tiny group of Leftist cranks.

    On the world stage right now we see the same thing playing out. It’s literally the same thing. A little knot of misery has been pretending to represent the majority of the American people, pretending #LetsGoBrandon is really the POTUS, pretending an awful lot of things.

    Next they’re going to pretend #HeelsUp is the POTUS, because #Brandon seems to have vanished. The Schrodinger President, both alive and dead simultaneously, waiting for an observation to collapse his wave function.

    None of these things are true. ALL of it is a lie, perpetrated and maintained by a little knot of miserable people who benefit from such things. An increasingly desperate group, because all of us dumbasses who thought everything was okay keep looking behind the curtain and seeing them pulling the levers.

    Anybody looked at Drudge Report lately? Fully, 110% in the tank right next to CNN. It’s not subtle. They’re screaming.

    They’re screaming because despite the fact that they’ve perverted every single thing from the POTUS all the way down to a shitty science fiction fan convention that hasn’t been fun since 1975, they’re STILL LOSING. They’ve literally perverted the entire publishing industry, Hollywood, the healthcare industry, Big Finance, Big Pharma, Big Tobacco, Big Food, and lately the -aerospace- industry, and they are STILL LOSING.

    Sad Puppies, writ large. Point, laugh, and never stop. Never give them an inch, never -ever- believe anything they say or do.

    And hope that pointing and laughing is as far as it gets. That would be nice.

        Congressional security and details for congressional leadership is handled by the Capitol Police, which reports to the congressional leadership. You would not want USSS which reports to the executive branch securing Congresspersons, for separation of powers and underlying monkey business avoidance reasons.

        Note that while the U.S. Marshals Service does court security up to protecting The Supremes, they report to the DOJ. Generally the Marshals have the rep as pretty much the straightest arrows, even if in theory they are under Garland in this admin.

        The other civilian protection services I know about include the Diplomatic Security Service, which reports to the Foggy Bottom Boys i.e. the Department of State and as named, protects foreign diplomats as well as ours, and the CIA Security Protective Service, for top spooks.

        There are also military folks that do personal protection for flag rank officers and DoD civilians, reporting to the DoD.

        I think her best bet for a personal protection detail will be when she’s appointed US Ambassador to Greenland.

    Full disclosure. Don’t really know. Grandpa L was one of 4, two sets of twins. He was the only one to have children (7 counting one older half sibling of the other 6). His twin presumed dead after going missing off a ferry on the Puget Sound, in their early 20’s. His sister’s twin did not survive infancy. Do not know why she and Uncle Bob never had children, suspect because she was a type 1 diabetic. Don’t know much about grandpa’s side of the family, except he was born, just before 1900, and grew up in Douglas County but outside the Applegate circle, great grandparents are buried somewhere between Eugene and Coburg, Coburg Rd and I-5, in a small cemetery (note “somewhere”, they were dead before grandma met grandpa). Grandpa died when I was 2. He is buried in the Jesse Applegate Historical Cemetery, next to his inlaws, and grandma. If any of the family history was passed to the oldest 4, or grandma, never heard any of it, and grandma never wrote anything about it. The name isn’t very common in Oregon. Most of them I am related to (two uncles, two aunt-in-laws, three cousins including the only one to traditionally pass on surnames, and he and his wife are having their first, soon, and by reports it is a boy).

      Without the constant shrieking and daily build up of worry, anger, and fear they would be nothing more than local crazies, doddering old men and women shaking their fists at the television and yelling at bus stops.

      Their ideas are not self evident, as are those written in the Constitution. They are chaotically and constantly evolving with ever increasing frequency. The next hate and fearmongering are going to be incrementally (if not largely) more insane than today’s. They have to push the envelope. There is no other option for them. Tomorrow must be Armageddon, lest their terrible predictions ever be examined instead of quickly glossed over in favor of the next most horrible thing.

      Those ideas today are more than merely “not self evident,” they are the opposite of clear and universally understandable truth. Their ideas are not merely new, they are life-changing. Their policies will not only make your life better, they will save your lives. Their new laws, rules, and regulations are there to not only possibly make you safer, but they are there to save the whole world. Their cloud castles must be more than merely perfect, they must eclipse everything that ever came before.

      It is a recipe with only one outcome. They will fail. The longer they retain power, the higher they build their expectations (and graft), the greater the crash when their tower of naked greed falls.

      Our opponents are not serious people. They are insane. And they are a cult. Everything they accuse us of, they do.

      Let the bureaucrats learn to weld. Give them the freedom of the free market. Return civilization and the rule of law to primacy. Vote smart. You’re not just electing a president.

Doofus is currently blessing the freshly folded laundry with his presence, as it is made of warm. Neighborcat is sleeping under the laundry vent in the half-asleep-half-awake way he does, baiting some local thing to think it’s safe to cross the yard. Hint: it never is.

        Othercat is up on the roof in the still warm spot by the chimney. It’s the last place the sun hits, therefore his favorite napping spot. Tomorrow is another day, with all the terrible possibility and nascent goodness that all such potential brings. Tomorrow I will get another dead thing. Neighborcat will get his scritches.

I could set it as a fanfiction in the Harry Potterverse, but it could work outside it too.
