This is what happens when your medieval culture demands that women cover everything or be stoned to death. You get camel beauty pageants.
This is what happens when you take a medieval culture and give it billion of dollars in oil money. You get pharmaceutical grade cheating at your camel beauty pagents.

My daughter is only six weeks older than Tom Taylor’s.
I can tell you right now that I am a better father than him and my daughter will be better than his.
How do I know this? Here’s why.

He is going to teach his daughter that everything in life is patriarchy and male privilege and intersectional oppression.
I am going to teach my daughter that the thing that matters most in life is quality. Do a job and do it well. If you want respect, you prove to people that you are worth respecting. People will value you, not because of what you are but what you can deliver.
His daughter will spend the rest of her life being a victim.
Mine will learn to earn what she wants.
His daughter will protest some microaggression in college, while mine is studying some academically rigorous subject.
Then some day, many years from now, when Tom is standing next to his daughter at a woman’s march bitching about the patriarchy, I hope my daughter comes down for her corner office and punches him right in his mangina.

Women deserve respect, whether we are naked or not. What we choose to do with our bodies is our choice. Don’t forget it ?? pic.twitter.com/I43TZ0poaB

This is the new “female empowerment.”
Make no mistake, this is dangerous.
It’s not (just) the obesity. She has garish tattoos, a nose ring, and gothability fashion. Everything about her is tuned to be off putting.
I’ve said before that I like a full figured model.
She is not full figured, she is grotesque with a giant Miss Piggy on her forearm.
She is like a gangsta Marilyn Monroe drawing, taking something classic and beautiful and turning it into something, tacky and aggressively ugly.
She is a walking piece of modern art.
The only reason I know of her is that she is more famous for picking fights established fashion brands like Victoria’s Secret and others for not having “plus size” models.
She is a Social Justice model.
Her “empowerment” is a challenge.
I dare you not to call me beautiful. I dare you not to say I am gorgeous. I dare you to say that I am too fat and tattooed and off-putting to model your line. If you do I will bring down the wrath of the progressive, social justice internet on your brand and call you fatphobic and bigoted and racist.
This is the new feminist empowerment, and it is awful.
Teacher Strips Naked On Elementary School Playground, Chases Nearby Students
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — A physical education teacher at Carthay Center Elementary School outraged parents and upset students when he stripped naked on campus Friday and proceeded to chase nearby second-graders and fifth-graders.
What the fuck?
“He was supposed to be helping them learn P.E., run around and have fun,” one parent told CBS2’s Adrianna Weingold.
Call me an intolerant prude, but a grown man chasing a child with his dick hanging out doesn’t sound like fun to me.
“All of the kids saw his private parts. Very embarrassing, very upset,” said one parent.
Embarrassing? Not exactly the word I’d use.
School police say they are continuing to investigate the man and are working on a case against him.
They are working on a case. So he hasn’t been arrested yet? When he declares himself to have some sort of protected victim status, what will happen?
A video taken by a construction worker passing by the scene captured the unidentified teacher putting his pants back on in the middle of the playground.
Oh gee, some schmuck recorded it on his cell phone.
Try that around where I live and some loving parent is going to pull out a gun instead of a camera phone.
But in the land of casting couches and pedophile movie moguls, chasing kids in the nude is just fun and games. A borderline harmless prank.
If the citizens of California were allowed to defend themselves against pedophiles and aggressive perverts with lethal force they wouldn’t be the most populous state in the union.
It’s funny that Dirty Harry was from San Francisco. Today his policy regarding perverts is not California compatible.
It is, however, the policy is much the rest of the country.

I guess she didn’t want to carry a sign that said “I have 47 cats, a box wine habit, and no husband” around all day.
I need to get rid of any expectations I have for social justice activists. Every time I think they reached some peak level stupid, they out do themselves again.
On my post Peak Victim, RobertsGunShop left a comment that introduced me to the #blaxit movement. Like it’s sort of like Brexit and Calexit, except instead of a nation or state seceding from a union, it is black people leaving the United States.
There is an official Blaxit website. They have a list of grievances as to why they want to leave America.
So where do they recommend going?
Al Jazeera did an article on Why some African Americans are moving to Africa, covering Blaxit. The young woman interviewed moved to Ghana.
Take Muhammida el-Muhajir, a digital marketer from New York City, who left her job to move to Accra.
She says she moved, because despite her education and experience, she was always made to feel like a second-class citizen. Moving was an opportunity to fulfil her potential and avoid being targeted by racial violence.
Even when you live in a place like New York as a black person, you’re always an outsider.
You hear stories about the richest black people, like Oprah Winfrey, getting shut out of a store or Jay-Z not being allowed to buy [an apartment]. Those things happen. It doesn’t matter if you’re a celebrity, you’re a second-class citizen. This was the biggest issue for me.
In America, you’re always trying to prove yourself; I don’t need to prove myself to anyone else’s standards here. I’m a champion, I ran track and went to university, and I like to win, so I refuse to be in a situation where I will never win.
See, she’s a victim in America. Nothing was good for her, so she went to Ghana.
Ghana ranks 92 out of 194 countries for quality of life by a Ghanaian source. US News and World Report ranks it 71 out of 80. It has a murder rate of 157.77 out of 100,000 people. GDP is about $4,400 per person.
Keep in mind, Chicago has a murder rate of 27.8 per 100,000 people.
Business Insider ranks Angola and the No. 4 and Nigeria a the No. 14 nations with the worst quality of life. US News ranks Angola as No. 75 of 80 countries for quality of life. Its corruption index is 164 of 176 nations with a score of 18 out of 100 (100/100 is no corruption, 0/100 is completely corrupt). According to Wikipedia:
Angola has vast mineral and petroleum reserves, and its economy is among the fastest-growing in the world, especially since the end of the civil war. But the standard of living remains low for most of the population, and life expectancy in Angola is among the lowest in the world, while infant mortality is among the highest.[5] Angola’s economic growth is highly uneven, with most of the nation’s wealth concentrated in a disproportionately small sector of the population.[6]
I guess when you have the lowest quality of life on earth, you have no where to go but up. If you have a dollar and the next day you have two dollars, you saw a 100% economic gain overnight. If you have $100,000 and you gain $5,000, you only have a 5% gain overnight.
Ghana ranks 70 of 176 nations with a score of 43/100 for corruption. Nigeria ranks 136 with a score of 28.
The murder rate in Kenya is 199.44 and in Angola is 187.07 for ever 100,000 people.
According to Blaxit, there is one thing Angola has going for it: Accepting of Marijuana.
*OK, this brings me to a question of #Blaxit and #BlackLivesMatter. Is THC an essential nutrient for black people? I can’t watch a protest about Black Lives, the war on drugs, the justice system, or marijuana legislation without hearing about black people and marijuana. I’ve never smoked it, and I don’t think my life is in any way diminished. It looks really bad when black activists spend so much time focused on marijuana, it’s why I walked away from the Libertarians.
Back to the Al Jazeera interview:
There is definitely certain access and privilege being American here, but it’s great to finally cash in on that because it doesn’t mean anything in America.
There are also plenty of privileged Ghanaians; if you take away race there’s a class system.
Ahhh… she’s now on the top of the totem pole because she moved there with all her American money. She gets to shit on her fellow Africans because she’s rich. That is so progressive of her.
You might not have electricity, but you won’t get killed by the police either.
That doesn’t seem right. Let me fix that “You might not have electricity, and you’ll probably get killed by the police too.”
It’s not an over zealous white cop though, and that’s all that matters to her. That she is murdered by a corrupt African police officer who was not happy with the low ball bribe that rich American offered her is neither here no there. Or that the cop murdered her because she was associated with the wrong tribe doesn’t matter either (just ask the Tutsi about that).
Now, I’m all for ancestral right of return. If black Americans want to move to Africa because they have been taught to hate America because they have been taught that they are permanent victims here, so be it.
They should understand that being black in Africa means nothing. Millennia of war has been fought in Africa over tribal allegiance. Going there with some pockets full of US currency might be fun for a vacation, but moving to a country at the bottom of the quality of life index (or as we call them, shitholes) has its own problems.
But if you hate white people so much that you want to move to place that makes Detroit look like Disney World, don’t say I didn’t want you.
I saw this ad on TV for a new Fox show called The Resident.
All I can say is GOD MOTHER-FUCKING DAMNIT!!! Not this bullshit again.
I am so fucking tired of this trope. The good doctor doesn’t care about the money and bad doctor and/or hospital administrator treats medicine like a business.
This was at the heart of House [MD}, the Kelso/Cox fight in Scrubs, the doctor cousin in Judging Amy (my sister watched it which means we all watched it), Dr. Kovac on ER, pretty much every medical drama show I can think of, even Dr. Winchester in M*A*S*H.
The good doctor is out to save the patients and the bad doctors/administrators are just in it for profit. Saving lives vs. making money.
This is such horseshit.
I might come close to believing it if the median salary for MD’s wasn’t $197,000. When the “lowest paid” specialties command $156,000 a year on average and the highest command an average of $315,000 per year, I have a hard time believing they aren’t in it, at least a little bit, for the money.
You know what happens when medicine isn’t treated like a business?
There are no doctors and hospitals run out of medicine, and linens, and toilet paper, and look like this.
I’ve never seen a TV show in which the “I’m here to save lives, not make a profit” break-all-the-rules doctor work in a shithole like that. They always do it in some beautiful, palatial hospital, packed with the latest in million dollar medical equipment.
I just want to take the entire writing staff of this stupid fucking show and drop them off at a hospital in Caracas for their next annual check-ups.
Fuck this bullshit.
