to prop up nationwide abortion restrictions
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2014 3:56 PM
If the nation starts to have qualms about abortions, if the
nation as a whole tilts that way, it'll be because they
sense women being burdened by mouths they cannot
feed, and like the image.
That is, they'll want them to have children so to be
properly overwhelmed and depressed -- what we expect
of people in this time of sacrifice, of self-flagellation, of
purging ourselves so to be worthy of love once again.
We'll take photos of them, their blank faces, barely

surviving in the inner city or out on the plains, with
children wandering about them everywhere, in true
Walker Evans-style, and, say, "what noble sufferers!"

When a woman has a child she is in a sense branching
off from her own mother -- her love, in future, will be
towards her own children rather than her mother. As
such, it can arose powerful feelings of being rejected, of
allowing yourself something unallowed. The result is
that women often switch into their own angry mothers,
find themselves possessed -- a phenomenon we call
post-partum -- where they can end up killing their
children. No accident; deliberate.

Original Article: Artie Langes lame downfall: What
daft men still dont understand about speech
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2014 8:41 PM
Our brains form in the company of our mothers, by the

nature of our attachment to her. Doesn't it seem strange
to be asked to prove how later behaviour towards
women might be largely determined by the nature of
your relationship with her? Wouldn't you be wondering
what is going on with this person that they could doubt
this?... indeed that they find it so unlikely that when no
one else brings it up as a possibility in later violence
towards women, this doesn't bother them at all?
Wouldn't you be guessing that you're probably dealing
with someone who is being determined by their own
mother's wish/insistence that she not see her straight,
that she would be punished, abandoned for doing so?
Wouldn't you suspect that you're dealing with someone
largely under the control of their superego, or rather, the
terrifying maternal alter they've implanted in their right
hemisphere specifically to ensure they do not repeat
behaviour that earned them rejection from their mothers
in early infancy?
You're not dealing with someone who's going to let
scientific proof have any real chance in this matter,
because what's at issue is one's own brain turning
against itself -- to see your mother adversely, would
make you a terribly bad child, once again worth being
abandoned. You don't have the psychic makeup for truth
when along with it will be a rejection that will
degenerate your whole sense of worth; make you want
to suicide yourself.
So what you do is wait for those who accept the
common sense aspect of what you're saying ... as if the
task, obviously, would be to prove the highly likely
thing you're asserting isn't true. Such a person had a less
punitive mother, a more permissive mother, and though
seeing her mother fully straight-on would still be
understand as a no-no, it'd be something that could be
born by the fact that "you" knew she loved you enough
that she'd want you to move past even her own
allowances, and by the fact that outside courage could
buoy you past the pain of her rejection.
Permalink
They're being intellectually dishonest is saying they
need evidence, because no amount of evidence is going
to convince them. If I'd offered it, they'd of refuted it
regardless ... and finished with a heckle: because if they
don't the internal representation of their own mothers
they keep in their heads wouldn't be sufficiently
persuaded that "you'd" allied sufficiently against seeing
the damage she deliberately did to you straight.
If there was some register that what I was saying
seemed like common sense -- neglected and abused
women make for terrible mothers; and being the "all"

for infants and young children, their imprint will
determine them for life -- I'd recognize that I was
dealing with someone who'd shaken the commandment
-- do not be aware! -- and might put forth a study of
some kind, or link to someone who's assembled them.
But really, that person, having broken through, would
realize the issue is that too many people don't dare raise
the ire of those they were most dependent upon as
infants for love and support. Doing so, they'll feel
they've lost their claim to it forever, and be hopelessly
abandoned.
I repeat, because the war being fought is people's
willingness to admit to themselves the damage owing to
unloved mothers. Some people hearing it put forward
enough times, will pledge fidelity to that part of
themselves that won't be broken from truth.

Original Article: Bill Mahers slippery slope: Why his
war on Islam could hit closer to his own home
Bill Maher seems to think that the Muslim religion is at
fault for acts of terrorism committed in the name of
Islam. But, in fact, its the radical Imams who are
cajoling, pressuring and bribing young disaffected
men to commit violence in the name of Islam which is
not all that different from what the FBI is doing, is it?
Its not the idea or the book or the religion thats
encouraging them to make these bad decisions its
older men in authority manipulating younger men to
carry out their plans.
So the book doesn't influence because these older men
play a much larger part in these boys' lives -- it's
ephemeral, in a way. Well, no one plays a larger part
than do their mothers and grandmothers -- they grow up
mostly before them (in the women's quarters), not the
men. And these brutally treated women re-inflict their
own tortures upon their children, and abandon them
when they try and self-activate, because this means their
no longer serving and instead their (ostensibly
deliberate) abandoning them.
They may well be cajoled (but also by the women?), but
these boys don't really need to be cajoled into terrorism.
Terrorists kill those they've projected their own "bad
boy" status onto -- those who are enjoying unallowed
freedoms and personal pleasures. Thereby these often
young adults who, owing to tasting adult independence,
we're feeling completely abandoned of their mother's
approval and love, once again feel pure and accepted.

goeswithness We can handle ideas, but no way should
we put up with hate speech and threats. Meet us with
ideas, not insults. Is it that hard to understand the
difference?
I think this is mostly right; right-thinking women are
being projected upon. But when I argue that male hatred
towards women, men's "irrational" fear of domineering
women, owes to their having had mothers who were
thoroughly abused and neglected in the patriarchal
cultures they grew up in but who did dominate and
abandon their children, I usually don't feel I'm being met
by people eager to engage with ideas but by those
launching dismissive insults.

AmusedAmused Hopeful Cynic I agree with you about
mansplaining -- it's worked to back off some gross
behaviour. But in feminist circles (discussed in the
Nation's piece, "Feminism's Toxic Twitter Wars"), white
feminists are being charged with whitesplaining, and are
complaining that the corrosive effects of this is having
them disengage from online feminism:

Now, its true that white people need to make an effort
not to be racist. And there are countless examples of
white feminists failing women of color and then hiding
behind their good intentions....
But the expectation that feminists should always be
ready to berate themselves for even the most minor
transgressions ...creates an environment of perpetual
psychodrama, particularly when coupled with the
refusal to ever question the expression of an oppressed
persons anger.
http://www.thenation.com/article/178140/feminismstoxic-twitter-wars?page=0,0
My point being, we have to always do a double-check to
make sure that we're supporting the more emotionally
evolved side. Many of the white feminists that are being
charged as racists and are dropping out of the discussion
(i.e., are "stopping), are going to count amongst them
some of the more evolved people alive.

Shivas Andrew Sullivan: Or is it simply that WAM
believes that women cannot possibly handle the roughand-tumble of uninhibited online speech?
You: I for one wish that women would shelve the
delicate flower form of feminism as it may seem to
accomplish incremental goals but it does so at the
expense of a lot of other potential gains. Women cannot
achieve equality by presenting themselves as frozen in
fear, unable to make intelligent choices, incapable of
expressing themselves, and unwilling to stand up for
themselves.
The rough-and-tumble world is one boys know as
children owing to greater abuse and distancing by adults
and being subject to demands to "grow up," "be manly,"
and "not be a cry-baby" and not need attachments. In
this early environment what they are is frozen in fear,
entirely powerless, and so through life they crave
environments where they defensively prove they are not
powerless in these situations.
That is, these rough-and-tumble worlds might feel like
they enable quality, extensions by the proven into a new
future; but what they mostly enable is bravado, restaging/repeats of the past by those afflicted by
childhood terrors.
What we need are not more women warriors, unafraid of
the blasting storm, but more men permitted to know
more affection in their delicate, past, boyhood forms,

without feeling shame.

MBMorris Woody Brown Greywolf Borealis The
movement is good. It'll be lead by some of the
progressive types that are the exact opposite of the
personality types described by Woody Brown. I agree
with Katie that this will be about expanding the
conversation not shutting it down.
But his, or, sorry, the "daft male's" fear he was (merely)
illustrating, that lingering behind "the female" is
someone irrational and domineering comes out of
experience. Women who were abused through life and
who become mothers, will be this to their children.
Their girls will be dominated, but their boys will be
mostly abandoned -- which is far worse for the psyche
(and the origins of the male "instinct" towards bravado
-- defensive disprove of fears ... all alone on the
battlefield). Plus, irrationally but understandably, the
boys will represent the sex that abused her through life,
and will be partly hated/rejected for this.

This isnt the dawn of the age of creeping misandry
or a censorship field day, its the embryonic stage of
a conversation about abuse, accountability and free
speech thats been long overdue.
This conversation has been a thrill to see arise. But
again, if so many men owe this desire to humiliate
women owing to having been damaged, abandoned and
abused by their insufficiently loved mothers -- who
don't, regardless of how they are treated in life,
magically turn loving once with children -- this too is
something that needs more air without being crushed by
being called creeping/lingering mother-hate.
Those films we're seeing bringing awareness to how
much harassment women endure on the streets ... we
need to exposure to more video showing how young
boys are raised in comparison to how girls are. Mothers
look at them less, and attack them more. The result is
male autism (defensive shells), and rage against the
perpetrator -- male violence against women.

Original Article: You dont protect my freedom: Our
childish insistence on calling soldiers heroes deadens
real democracy
AmusedAmused Geministorm Heroes are people who
give their children more love than they themselves
received. The mother and father spending more time
with their children, talking with not hitting them,
respecting their differences and helping them become
whomever they want to be, are on the way to create a
generation that will have no psychic need to project all
their "badness" onto others and obliterate them in war.
Permalink
Original Article: More men need to take paternity leave
even if it hurts their careers
We may want to reconsider the importance of careers.
What I mean is, if careers are about making a world
better, the best way of doing that is making sure the next
generation of children are better treated than the
previous.
This may be the reason that the worst-reared children in

Europe, the Germans who became the good boys and
girls they always wanted to be by projecting all their
"badness" onto others during the 1930s and 40s,
apparently managed a dramatic improvement
afterwards, with no repeat required: a huge generation
gap between pre-war and post-war, all owing to more
love in childrearing.
http://www.psychohistory.com/htm/childhoodHolocaust.
html
As a society, if we somehow decided to make our
number one priority to put most of our resources into
helping families, enabling lengthy periods of maternal
and paternal leave and such, declaring this our concern
more than anything else, our national product resulting
out of this would be the one Lawrence Krauss thinks is
possible: a generation that'd outgrown the need for war,
religion, nationalism -- all the evils that are the
derivatives of lack of love in childhood.
Maybe we should stop asking people what they do.
What they might primarily do is simply in the way
they're relating to people, which may occur in their
careers or perhaps mostly outside of them -- as good
parents, or as engaged neighbours; decent people on the
streets.
