Things that make you go, "Hmmm"
By Rod Van Mechelen, July 2014 - Olympia, WA
In this column I pose questions and raise issues. The purpose is to put a slightly different spin on each item, provoke thinking or give you ideas for how to respond to things. Think of them as "sound bite arguments."
-
Feminism has destroyed millions of lives while Elliot Rodger killed six, yet Rodger is reviled while feminism is celebrated.

Personal Connections: To know somebody born in the 1800s is to be but two degrees of separation from the American Civil War. My great-grandmother was born in 1881 and her parents were in their teens during the Civil War.

Where did Belgium get $140 billion to buy US Treasuries, the local laundromat?
-

-
"Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned," wrote William Congreve, for so many women expect their interest to be reciprocated.
-
"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" paraphrases William Congreve, but it is men who feel themselves universally entitled to the affections of the opposite sex?

Women can walk alone in Chile. Oh, but wait, Chile's is a very traditional culture, Michelle Bachelet's second term as president notwithstanding. Yes, in Chile women actually like men and men actually protect women. We can't be having any of that here in the northern hemisphere, even if it would then be possible not only for women to occupy the highest office in the land, but to walk alone.
-
Ladies bring out the gentlemen; feminists bring out the Elliot Rodgers.

Nazis justified mass murder by claiming they were victims of Jews, now feminists are poisoning children with a similar hate.
-
The cultural elements that feminism blames on "the Patriarchy" often include those that encourage women to work together.
-
Neither Wall Street nor Washington are here to help you.
-
Governments issue licenses for marriage, why not licenses for other kinds of contractual relationships, too?
-
Feminists respond to one loser's rage by condemning all losers; wouldn't civility toward all be a more effective preventative?
-
In the next General Election will US citizens vote for anybody but an incumbent?
-
The mainstream media celebrates the fantasy that women's choices drive the decline in marriage but condemn as selfish men who shun marriage.
-
Progressive socialists on the left and progressive neocons on the right are leading us toward a totalitarian end to liberty.

The most important thing to understand about feminism is that it is not a social movement, but a weapon of cultural destruction.

Feminism manifests the dark side of female power.
-
Feminists try to destroy anybody who holds women to the same moral standards as men.
-
Is a motive of feminism to perpetuate the sexual aristocracy of young women into old age?
-
Will the US dollar go supernova: a deflationary collapse followed by a hyperinflationary blow off?
-
In male culture, men teach boys not to block the path, while feminists seem to encourage women to be inconsiderate and an obstacle to others.
