Ladies: All Carey does, the whole night through…
…is dream of you. You’re every thought, you’re everything. You’re every song he ever sings. And were there more than 24 hours a day, he’d spent them in Carey Roberts sweet content dreaming away:
In China, only 832 girls are born for every 1,000 boys, according to UNICEF. [...] All this is driven by the relentless march of radical feminism[.]
Yes, radical feminism is without a doubt what is driving those numbers. Oh, one might wonder, what’s in it for the feminists to abort girl babies which results in a much higher number of boys being born every year? Is it perhaps part of a long-term plan to ensure that women have greater choices when it comes to selecting a husband? Ah – but Carey would surely point out that feminists hate marriage. So what’s in it for them? Je ne sais pas. So don’t ask us to explain the logic underlying that conclusion.*
I suppose that when one has identified two things (feminism and abortion) one doesn’t like, putting them together comes all too naturally. And when that same person’s best skill isn’t causal (no words on casual) relationships, one can draw all sorts of crazy conclusions. We’d imagine that if someone told Carey that feminists don’t like cheese and that the Democrats’ mascot is a donkey, he’d conclude that the New Deal worsened the Depression. As much as it pains us to point this out, Carey never got over being dumped by Marie Antoinette. So sad that it should come this. [Fixed link.]

In 2000, my Aryan whang stood regularly at full staff in response to supple women of suitable heritage and beliefs and fat titties. But for the last three years, the iron will of my Johannes Thomas has been prisoner to the chemical adulteration of Jew doctors.
All this is driven by the relentless march of radical feminism.

I clicked through.
The badness happened.
That’s like saying if you want to stop car accidents, we’ll first need to get rid of cars.
Sounds like a good idea! What’s next?
Abortion represents more than a moral holocaust. Just last month a woman from Eskilstuna, Sweden who already had two girls learned that her infant in utero was female. She demanded — and received — a state-financed abortion on the grounds that this time she wanted to have a boy.
When similar decisions are made by millions of women, a nation’s sex balance begins to careen out of control. In China, only 832 girls are born for every 1,000 boys, according to UNICEF. A similar problem in China. This has the makings of a demographic disaster.
All this is driven by the relentless march of radical feminism, which views abortion as a central sacrament to its destructive ideology.
So radical feminists want to breed less of themselves? Curious. Seems like a march of the lemmings.
Children are eventually seen as disposable.

How about that – Carey didn’t just pull the Sweden thing out of his ass.
Of course, his comment about “a state-financed abortion” is meaningless, since I’m sure the majority of operations in Sweden are “state-funded”, but I suppose it’s his idea of warning us about the horrors that await if Obama imposes socialized medicine on the U.S.
How he gets from Sweden to China I’m not going to speculate, though. That’s just wingnut magic.

Lost amid the Iranian election category 5 opinion-hurricane this weekend, Doughy published a Liberal Fascism quiz. Really.
I think my favorite question is #4, the sort of unifying argument as to why Doughy’s book is complete horseshit. Why is Murkin fascism different from Yurpean fascism? Uh, because Murkin fascism isn’t actually fascism – unless you follow the Stalin prescription of labelling everything icky as “fascist” (q #6), and ignore George Orwell’s warning that “fascism” has been so liberally used to have lost all meaning (q #2).
Still, credit Doughy for one achievement. When your own quiz about your own book knocks lumps out of the central thesis of your book, you have carved yourself a unique niche in unintentional performance art.

Actually, the main reason behind female infanticide in most countries — and China, with its strict population controls, in particular — is that boys have more earning power. Therefore, if you’re poor and you only have one kid, you’re going to want it to be a boy. So the real factor behind Carey’s numbers is good ol’ market capitalism.
I would say “surely he knows this”, but I learned long ago that it was a fool’s game trying to figure out whether these blowhards are lying or just ignorant.

Umm, don’t quite know how to break it to this guy, other than to say that in NE Asia (China, Japan, Korea), women don’t make important decisions. The best way I’ve heard it put is that here, men do things; women are things.
You could say the lack of feminism is precisely what has led to the gender imbalance that promises to have such dramatic consequences in this part of the world. It is certainly not the women of China and Korea who pushed the desire for sons and grandsons to such an extreme during the last thirty years. Young women here are powerless.

You could, but that would be making “sense” whereas he speaks only fluent Wingnut.
Of course he’s got this utterly backwards, there’s a long history of selecting for male offspring in some Asian countries and it has everything to do with the male-dominated society that devalues females and nothing to do with the opposite, i.e. feminism.
Historically it was carried out most often by abandonment after birth, horribly enough, which of course ruins his thesis that it was all caused by liberal attitudes about abortion.
But the word “thesis” and anything coming from that Web site should never be allowed near each other.

Hundreds of crude American idiots have suddenly begun adopting the social and historical outlook of decadent Teuto-Russian aristocrats. (The British right, partially because of strong and creepy German and White expat influence, have always had this going on.) It’s pretty hilarious.

All this is driven by the relentless march of radical feminism, which views abortion as a central sacrament to its destructive ideology.
I was so hoping….no, really!…so hoping that somehow the ellipses shortcutted a nuance that could be open to interpretation that would show Carey Roberts, the elder Carey Roberts, he of prime Alzheimer’s aging, had acknowledged that Chinese formal policy encouraged the mass production of baby boys, rather than assume that aborting girls = feminism.
His conclusion sort of speaks to the whole “Feminazi” trope of Rush Limbaugh, that feminists must be either lesbian or so ugly that they can’t get laid and the whole movement is based on sour grapes.
Implicit in Carey’s drooling here is the latter conclusion. Given that Roberts himself is no spring chicken nor particularly handsome as an old cock, you’d think he’d welcome “chicks” who couldn’t get laid into his nursing home since the male populations in such institutions tend to be thinned out and the remaining men can get their fill.
Ugly women would serve to bid up the demand for his services, and give him the illusion of potency and attraction that the attractive women would mistakenly believe they had missed.
Indeed, this is the basis of every Seth Rogen movie ever made.
Still, one wonders how someone so stupid that he needs Velcro closures on his loafers would be able to type a column out.

To show a comparison to pedestrian’s figures above, here are the numbers for Brazil where abortion is illegal:
Sex ratio: at birth: 1.05 male(s)/female under 15 years: 1.04 male(s)/female 15-64 years: 0.97 male(s)/female 65 years and over: 0.68 male(s)/female total population: 0.97 male(s)/female (2001 est.)

Whoa..Cary Roberts may be on to something. Since we all know, thanks to Ann Coulter, that feminists are “corn fed, no makeup, natural fiber, no bra-needing, sandal wearing, hirsute, somewhat fragrant hippie chick pie wagons”, they are simply trying to reduce the number of girls growing up to be women who will compete with them, not for men, of course, since they’re all lesbians, but for jobs that, thanks to affirmative action, they will take away from men who need them to support families that will break up under the resultant financial strain, resulting in the collapse of society. Thanks for clearing that up for us, Cary. I think I’ll go lie down now.

The report published Monday in the online edition of Environmental Health Perspectives also says males account for a higher proportion of the fetuses that die.

It’s more basic than that, I think. In primitive societies, girls are seen as a burden—you have to keep them “pure” so that you can get the maximum number of mules when you marry them off. How this guy gets from there to blaming feminism is a mystery.
Acutally, no, it isn’t.

How about that – Carey didn’t just pull the Sweden thing out of his ass.
Yeah, I googled it, too, and can’t find any evidence the suit was to force the government to pay for it; it looks like the case was whether or not she could be refused a gender-based abortion, and the regional Health Board ruled it the doctors couldn’t refuse based on current law as long as it was before the 18th week. Either way it’s hard to see how feminism is to blame, unless you’re Crazy Grampa Carey.

The real reason less male fetuses are being conceived here is the rise in the amount of hot doggy style fucking in place of missionary position fucking.

Ah, OK, the original article in The Local on the Sweden thing.
Here’s an analysis from Findlaw. Interestingly, the author is pointing out that gender-based abortions happen all the time here and that the reason no one has made an issue of them is that it would open the door to basically ruling on every abortion individually.

There is no such thing as a primitive society, and as much as we can comment on China as a society at all it is as the result of an acroculture ruling over a polyethnic sprachbund, as if a weird mixture of byzantine and republican Rome ruled over every populated area of Europe.
Using ‘primitive’ as a synonym for ‘fucked-up’ gets you in a whole heap of trouble when you’re dealing with groups whose history isn’t intimately connected with that of Whitey, especially because in many cases the societies we would most unreservedly identify as ‘primitive’ tend to be far less fucked-up than their developing neighbors, and the process of raising them from ‘primitivity’ usually involves fucking them up pretty goddamn good.
I think if you really wanted to look to any cultural cause in the case of China, it would be the idea of filiality encouraging a familial focus on literal patriarchy and thus men. The more realistic broad view would ascribe it to mainly economic factors and a narrow view would be primarily concerned with the way in which machine politics, unpredictable American pressures, and corporate meddling have shaped implementation of China’s population control policy. But really, “primitive”? Bullshit.

Abortion represents more than a moral holocaust.
There are moral holocausts!? Dammit, if I had known that I could kill millions without being immoral I would have done it long ago. Now I’m too busy.

Actually, it’s

While sitting a house and a massive clan of lonely dogs, I found that the only thing that came close to making me miss TV was the Discovery Channel. If they found a way to broadcast QI, I’d actually want to pay for cable.
In retrospect, I was surprised by this too. The sino-orientalist stereotypography obsessively dwells over imagined effeminacy, so you think he’d be all over the Yellow Anal Peril. Maybe he just has to adjust to the primitive culture of the mongol-monitors, I dunno.

Heaven forfend that a company should improve its product to better appeal to both its customers (eg, schools) and its users (ie, kids). That’s what I took from her brief description of the job, anyway.
If you think a company is being inefficient and hiring useless workers, form your own company and compete. That’s how your beloved fucking free market works.
Debs = Grampa Simpson. Or Andy Rooney, if he were a complete idiot. Also an asshole.

I initially liked the idea of Schlussel keeping a massive Bittorrent habit from her corporatist pals, but then I realized that any such piracy would probably be smothered under a trackless sea of pro-amateur pornography in which innocent middle-aged white women are mercilessly sodomized by hairy Arabs.
I no longer like the idea of Schlussel keeping a massive Bittorrent habit from her corporatist pals.

Has it ever used it’s vast mechanical intelligence to comment? “I’m sorry, Dave, but that movie is crap and Pauly Shore a cretin.” That kind of thing?
With my movie snobiness, heavens no! I would rather have the crap beaten out of me than to watch a Pauly Shore movie.

Not just old, but ancient they are and have earned the nickname “obatarian” from the more daring young folks. The word is derived from “obaba”, or granny, and “batarian”, zombie. And they are. They float around town in their own little bubble, not caring a jot for others. They cut queues, push you around the supermarket if you happen to stand in their way and take over tables in coffeeshops previously reserved by others by use of a coat or bag.
It’s Hell’s Grannies!

Shooting of policemen is due to liberals.
Aborting females is because of feminism.

Judicial activism is treasonous. (when they don’t like the ruling)
Not engaging in judicial activism is treasonous. (when they don’t like the ruling)

I’ve read that historically, girl babies outnumber boys 1.5 or often 2–1, giving men the ‘advantage’ of having more choice in finding a mate, and making it easy for men to denigrate women, especially those who don’t meet their “standards” of beauty, conduct etc. etc.
This could be *one* root cause of anti-women world wide. When the ratio switches women gain the power to pick & choose a mate.
I read that in some parts of India this aborting of girls is causing a serious problem for men looking to marry. The women that *are* available are demanding all sorts of outrageous things, like voting rights, equal pay, and so on. Tough Titty.

This poor deluded fool doesn’t realize the half of it. When you get ratios that unfavorable, a lot of dudes start to dude up with other dudes. This is totally part of the radical feminist ploy to really amplify the gayness.

Knights in White Satin – don’t know where you heard that about the “historic” ratio of boy vs girl babies…I’ve read in many places that it’s always been typical for slightly more boy babies to be born…the anthropological explanation being that testosterone makes boys take more risks, males engage in warfare, etc, so nature overcompensates with more births of males, assuming that fewer of them will reach maturity than girls.

Though anti-abortion people see abortion as “the ultimate child abuse”, statistics show that in places where there are fewer children, *and* those children are wanted and valued, child abuse, illness, abandonment and such drop drastically.
I had a mild argument once, more of a discussion really, with an anti-abortion man, who told me earnestly how many abortions were done per year (I forget the number, 200,000 or something). He wanted to impress me with the horror of such a large number. I pointed out that if those abortions hadn’t occurred there would be a huge number of unwanted children. I asked who would take care of these children? I don’t claim to have “won” the argument, I don’t think it can be won if the person truly sees abortion as baby murder.
Still, I don’t see all those clinic protesters adopting babies. Tell me the man who shot Dr. Tillman had several adopted children and I might sympathise with his views, if not actions. How many kids has O’Riley adopted? How many foster homes or orphanages does he contribute to with he $30 million salary?

Jennifer: My bad!
The boy-to girl ratio I read about was some time ago, I could be wrong. I will check into it more thoroughly. Perhaps it had something to do with higher mortality rates in boy children? Let me research. I should have done so first, of course.

Until and unless we produce things, instead of just consuming them, and produce real concrete jobs–instead of BS “play workers”–we will continue to sink.
The hilarity of li’l Debbie contrasting the educator with a fucking POKER PLAYER in her “concrete jobs” diatribe has already been mentioned, but Jesus, the woman is in a support position for a company that builds, i.e. produces, playgrounds.

That’s central to her point, tig! The fact that this company constructs “play grounds” for children means there are children out there playing instead of apprenticing at a trade or acting as footman for a horse-drawn carriage or mining coal like she did when she was a child.

Someone explain to Carey that the Disney movie-makers were THROWING those feminists off the cliff.
their savage lusts burning for the virginal womenfolk their backwards countries cannot provide.
I confess that I interpreted ‘backwards culture’ as meaning “preference for reverse-cowgirl and doggy-style”.

Abortion of girls in China leads to a surplus of boys. And who likes boys? That’s right. The GAYS and the DEMONCRAPS (but I repeat myself, LOL). Homosexuals are George Soros’ second favorite thing to horde, right after money.
We all know it’s only natural that men turn to homosex when there aren’t enough girls around. Now, thinking people know the difference between what happens in prison and on long camping trips and so on (what scientists call “Manly Spartan Love”, or MSL), and real, antiques-and-original-cast-recordings buttsex, but the self-identified “queers” have successfully blurred that line in many minds. It’s getting so you can’t take a tub of Crisco and Coldplay’s entire back catalog with you on a fishing trip without your wife asking all kinds of annoying questions.
If those Chinese boys have to turn to homosex, that doesn’t really make them gay, just MSL’s, but it does strengthen the gay agenda. I’m sure even you moonbats would agree the national debate on abortion is being dictated by the NAMBLA wing of the Democrat Socialist party.
This is the most sinister thing they’ve done since they tried to build a weather machine to cause it to rain men.

Wait a minute. Isn’t producing playground equipment actually producing things? Manufacturing and installing them, after designing them?
