Woman’s Mind; The Mysteries of “Occupy;” the Libertarian Side of the Movement; Syrians

Jacques Delacroix Current Events, Politics , , , , ,

My wife of more years than she cares to remember just told me calmly that I had “low standards” in “women and in food.” It seems that she thinks I could have done better than her. Makes me think because, by and large, I trust that woman’s judgment. Got to take a second look at myself. As far as the food is concerned, she had a conflict of interest when she made the statement. Recently, she bought some expensive rice than I am not allowed to eat because, she says I “would not appreciate it.”

I keep learning about those fascinating creatures. It’s never boring, not ever or not yet! Feminists will maintain with a straight face that this kind of stuff never happens, that it’s all in my mind. Normal women, on the other hand, don’t even raise an eyebrow at this kind of story. “Been there, done it,” their impassiveness seems to say. (And, contrasting feminists with normal women was not a slip of the tongue. I barely ever have those. If you follow my musings, you will realize that I am coldly calculating.)

I keep an eye on the “Occupy Santa Cruz “ street site. (See my posting on this: “Occupy Wall Street, and Santa Cruz, and Democrat Electoral Desperation,” from October 11) I noticed today that there were three times more people there at 11 AM than at 10 AM. Why would that be? As a far as I know this differential showing corresponds to no major work schedule.

Another source of puzzlement: There are more “Occupy” tents than there are ever occupiers present on the site where all the signs are stored or shown. Some of the tents can shelter more than one person. How can this be? Do some tent dwellers go to their job in the morning and come back in the evening to demonstrate against inequality and against the corporations by sleeping in a tent? Too many unanswered questions.

Contraception and Perversions: Dr D’s Brutal Reminders

Jacques Delacroix Current Events , , , , , ,

Warning: Some parts of this essay may be considered pornographic. (I sure hope so because I need another source of income.) It is mostly addressed to adult women but you should feel free to read it whatever your sex, or sexual orientation, or sexual orientations. If a young girl happens to read it, I am persuaded that it will do her more good than harm in the long run.

The leftist media have a new battle-horse: Republicans are waging “war on women,” they say. They claim that the Republican Party is using contraception denial to undermine women’s freedom. The other morning, I am laboring on the elliptical at the gym maintaining my three-pack. I am watching MSNBC (no choice, I live in Santa Cruz) when comes on an elegant, attractive Professor of Political Science. I don’t know from what university she is and I don’t care. It’s obvious she was invited because of her telegenic appeal. She is a light-skinned African-American woman, quite pretty, with an extremely neat hairdo of a hundred tight little tails. (What do you call those again?) Perfect!

The telegenic professor asserts calmly that the Republican Party is deliberately trying to limit the progress of women into the professions by denying them contraception.

Got it? “Copulate without protection. Become pregnant. Kiss law school good-bye! One less ho in a position of power or influence!”

I wouldn’t believe this enormous absurdity happened on television if I had not heard it myself. We are all more or less guilty for letting this kind of stuff be said without booing. Yes, I think booing is a moral obligation. Continue reading →

Teacher Sex and President Sentences Terror Suspects to Rape?

Jacques Delacroix Current Events , , ,

WARNING: THERE IS A BAD ARABIC TRANSLATION OF THIS POSTING IN EXISTENCE SOMEWHERE. I  DID  NOT REQUEST IT, I DID NOT AUTHORIZE IT, AND I DID NOT APPROVE IT. I AM ONLY RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT I WRITE IN ENGLISH, IN FRENCH AND, RARELY, IN SPANISH.

There are days, rare days, when I feel completely French, after more than forty years. One such occasion is whenever anyone criticizes foie gras, its consumption, its presentation, or its production. (Go ahead, Google it; it’s all true.)

The other times my French culture of origin soars up within me is when I hear from the media that yet another Florida school teacher is accused of having her way with one of her young male students. It seems to happen mostly in Florida, somehow. Don’t ask me why. It must be the enervating climate. Anyway, there was a such an announcement in the news yesterday.

I am sorry, I can’t quite get my indignation up. In fact, the news brightened my day to an extent. “Double standard,” you say. Sure thing! It’s mostly Mother Nature’s decision. Facts matter: First, boys can’t be raped by women. You can’t repeat it often enough. Second, boys don’t get pregnant. Sorry to give you the obvious but the politically correct media seem to have forgotten it. Third, there is a part of me that is in synch with thousands of years of popular sentiment: I suspect that sex is emotionally more important to females than to males. Continue reading →
