From Footwear News:

Nike HR Exec Reportedly Admits Brand Failed to Make Progress on Diversity
By Sheena Butler-Young

More details are emerging about the internal issues that led to Nike’s executive shake-up last month.

I look like a “Monique,” not a “Mo’nique”

At least six Nike higher-ups left hurriedly after a #MeToo scandal.

In a company memo obtained by The Wall Street Journal Wednesday, Nike’s chief human resources officer, Monique Matheson, reportedly told staffers that The Swoosh “has failed to gain traction” in hiring and promoting women and minorities.

To that end, Matheson added that the company wants “to create a culture of true inclusion. As part of our plan, we need to improve representation of women and people of color,” WSJ reported.

As everyone knows, People of Color never get handsy around women. Especially black men who love basketball. They are just morally superior, that’s all.

“While we’ve spoken about this many times and tried different ways to achieve change, we have failed to gain traction — and our hiring and promotion decisions are not changing senior-level representation as quickly as we have wanted,” the memo reportedly stated.

Last month, Nike announced the back-to-back — and seemingly abrupt — departures of Trevor Edwards, brand president, and Jayme Martin, VP and GM of global categories. …

In the U.S., 16 percent of vice presidents are nonwhite, she reportedly wrote. …

At the same time, many experts have suggested that an effective remedy for corporate reform — which sees women and other minorities treated more fairly at work — is creating more diversity in the upper ranks of companies.

So, because all six execs who got caught were white, right?

Or were they?

The New York Times, interestingly, while playing it a little indirect and coy about the Fired Six does not, for once, play the You Must Hire More Women and Minorities card:

At Nike, Revolt Led by Women Leads to Exodus of Male Executives
By JULIE CRESWELL, KEVIN DRAPER and RACHEL ABRAMS APRIL 28, 2018

… Finally, fed up, a group of women inside Nike’s Beaverton, Ore., headquarters started a small revolt.

… Over the next several weeks, at least six top male executives left or said they were planning to leave the company, including Trevor Edwards, president of the Nike brand, who was widely viewed as a leading candidate to succeed Mr. Parker, and Jayme Martin, Mr. Edwards’s lieutenant, who oversaw much of Nike’s global business.

Others who have departed include the head of diversity and inclusion

Indeed

, a vice president in footwear and a senior director for Nike’s basketball division. …

While women struggled to attain top positions at Nike, an inner circle of mostly male leaders emerged who had a direct line to Mr. Edwards. Within the company, as reported earlier in The Wall Street Journal, this group was known as F.O.T., or Friends of Trevor.

The NYT is being coy, but judging from the names in an article in the Portland Business Journal, it looks like two of the six were white (including second ranked Jayme Martin), one South Asian, and three black (including top dog Trevor Edwards).

So, nonwhites make up 1/6th of the Nike executive ranks but 4/6th of the fired executives.

Solution: hire more nonwhites!

Just Do It.

    HR has been a sort of female ghetto because (1) women are "good with people" and (2) they can be used to fill hiring quotas without doing damage to the actual business of the company (i.e. making and selling stuff). However, I think they will prove to be a fifth column.

    Maybe not just standard deviation. Richard Lynn is saying that women's mean IQ is a quarter SD lower than men's. Not a big deal ... except at the extreme right end. So women, mean 98, SD 14, men, mean 102, SD 16. The IQ difference varies by tested subset, so women do better in some specific tasks.

    Probably the SJW menace will be resisted for awhile yet. Distinct language and culture helps with that, but most importantly, the method of government means that it is more difficult for the usual actors to get a significant toehold. Even in Japan, for example, which is nominally a democracy, can avoid subversion by having significant amounts of power secluded in veiled male-controlled clubs and organizations.

    Re Thomas Merton:

    Haven't read this new book so I can't comment on it, but murder instead of accident seems a reasonable speculation to me.

    Merton was famous. Even C. S. Lewis across-the-pond had known who he was and read his books. And Merton published a lot-- "the Talkative Trappist. " Millions of Americans read him, and not only Catholics. Lenny Bruce, for example.

    But he appealed to many of the devout. And now he was starting to be Talkative about Vietnam.

    Shut him up, shut him down. It's not as if we were going to have one of those fabled National Conversations about...war in Indochina, in this case.

    Rembert Weakland administered the viaticum. The position of Merton's body was explained: He had soiled himself when he died, and the priests who found him changed him out of care for his dignity.

    I think he was probably murdered, sure.

    Never did buy story that he electrocuted himself. The notion that Merton knew (and said) "too much" has some validity I believe. And on that note, given Brennan's recent comments, Trump had better double his guard.

  15. Being in the construction industry which having been under court orders to integrate (that lead to court taking over all hiring and human resources of most unions for 40 years and charging us for the assault and constantly filing lawsuits for damages and larger social work staff leading to utter ruin of industry) Its hard to feel sorry when the white collars get the same treatment finally maybe eventually someone will care.I doubt it.

    They already are a fifth column. Corporate executives are scared to death of HR, and what HR says isn't falsifiable because (1) they're the diverse crowd who care about people, the company's most important assets of course and (2) they claim to serve as the defense against lawsuits and government regulations which must be complied with.

    And the HR crowd has done a great a job making their bureaucratic utopia a self-fulfilling prophecy through government regulation and lawfare. In an ideal world, HR management would first cut its teeth on the business line, but, as you say, most HR people make HR their career starting in college and are ignorant, or antipathetic, about revenue-generating business.

    Corporate rule by HR, which is not surprisingly the most female and NAM part of most companies, is destroying capitalism. They have been strikingly successful in making big business essentially an arm of the state (which is a characteristic of facism).

  21. Nike may have dodged a bullet. Edwards was the crown prince. Usually appointing a black or female CEO is the kiss of death for a big corporation (or a country – see Obama) – a sign that the creative/entrepreneurial/expansionist phase is over and the bureaucratic rot has set in. Blacks/female leadership often ends in disaster but usually at best they serve as a sort of caretaker role – they can take something built by others (whites) and maintain it for a while but they are largely incapable of coming up with anything new or responding to unforeseen crises. There may be rare exceptions to this but not many.

    Very sensible. All that would be required is heavy taxation of second incomes to persuade most women to stay home. It's largely what we want to do anyway.

    No, it isn't.

    Automation is a Rube Goldberg solution to a non-problem that would require phalanxes more office drones to implement and oversee. That is its entire purpose---to divert the revenue stream of productive enterprises from line workers and capex and transfer it to managerial douchebags. But the low hanging fruit of this essentially parasitical strategy has long since been picked. There are numerous signs to indicate that Team D-bag has reached the limit of its strength and is due for a comeuppance. One is that the mystique is finally starting to wear off the tech sector; another is that automation can only develop itself upon an expanding credit base, which simply is not possible in a world of no savings and no growth. Try to imagine a world of generally declining standards of living and increasing anxiety about the future, where all the working men are being asked to support not only a bloated overclass of useless kibbitzers but also their ever-increasing retinue of exigent circus contraptions, and you'll get a pretty good idea of the prospects of "automation." Look up Rogaine Musk in a few years for the gritty details.

    Nike may have dodged a bullet. Edwards was the crown prince. Usually appointing a black or female CEO is the kiss of death for a big corporation (or a country - see Obama) - a sign that the creative/entrepreneurial/expansionist phase is over and the bureaucratic rot has set in. Blacks/female leadership often ends in disaster but usually at best they serve as a sort of caretaker role - they can take something built by others (whites) and maintain it for a while but they are largely incapable of coming up with anything new or responding to unforeseen crises.

    Because civilizations need strong identities and traditions to endure. Asserting that men and women are the same is the same kind of logic that allows people to contend that "America could be 100% Chinese, and it would still be America, not China!" Distinctions are important; otherwise, whites will end up a bunch of deracinated individuals who get outcompeted by more cohesive groups.

    Nippo-Korean* athletic and functional shoe designers (in other words not the crazy luxury lines e.g. Louboutin) are in the vanguard. Unlike the process in designing most apparel, designing a sneaker requires aesthetic ability and extensive knowledge of materials and process and an abilty to make the shoe function with the human foot. Conceptually it’s closer to architecture, functionality limits what you can do aesthetically but the aesthetics are what the consumer wants. IMHO it wouldn’t hurt Nike to get more leadership from the design sector. Marketing only gets you so far, you need cool and comfort to sell sneakers and athletic apparel.

    *The China-India designers are not of the same calibre. Don’t know why.

    Scale makes a huge difference. Mom and Pop is the bottom of the ladder when it comes to management.

    You have to know when to get there, unlock the door without tripping the alarm, and get behind the counter. Inventory is walking down the aisle to see what's sold out, payroll is the two of you, maybe a part timer or two. Most people can do this level of management.

    As the company gets bigger, now you have specialized staff for bookeeping, personel, inventory, marketing, the list goes on. Real early in that expansion, lots of men, and womyn reach their level of competency, they can maybe handle a couple of locations with 100 employees, but the ability to take it to a higher level, national, that's really rare in one person.

    Guys like our host, Steve, could give you lots of sources with how difficult high level managment truly is, and why so few womyn are there.

    Another thought; 10 years ago or more, there was another womyn with a mindset like yours. She had seen all these womyn with advanced degrees from the most elite schools and there had been hardly any change in the percentage of womyn CEO's in the previous 20 years.

    So she decided to contact some of these womyn. Her method was the NYT's wedding announcement pages. Went back into the archives 10 years and noted the womyn with the best pedigree's and used public records to track them down. The wedding announcement always mentioned the wife's educational attainments. She wanted the prime beef.

    Interesting what she found. Most of the womyn had married really well, since their male classmates had the best pedigree's as well. The reason the vast majority gave as to why they weren't on the corporate ladder was their husband could and did provide a very comfortable living. They saw no reason to bust their ass like their husbands did every day.

    One womyn said her husband was the CEO of the family; he earned the money. She was the CFO, she spent it. LOL

    Womyn have options in life; to work or not. At least a lot of them. Men's options are to work, or live on the streets. No womyn will want to support a guy, at least among womyn that are lower middle class and above. The underclass, the guys can find womyn that will sometimes do that. Mainly NAMs tho...


    The male drive to expand and penetrate is arguably the single most important causal force behind globalism.
     
    No, that's behind the global population boom. Globalism is the quest to acquire more money so you can attract a better class/looking womyn you can penetrate.

    Aristotle Onasis is on record saying the only reason for making a lot of money are womyn....male sex drive is everything.

    HR has been a sort of female ghetto because (1) women are "good with people" and (2) they can be used to fill hiring quotas without doing damage to the actual business of the company (i.e. making and selling stuff). However, I think they will prove to be a fifth column.

    They already are a fifth column. Corporate executives are scared to death of HR, and what HR says isn’t falsifiable because (1) they’re the diverse crowd who care about people, the company’s most important assets of course and (2) they claim to serve as the defense against lawsuits and government regulations which must be complied with.

    And the HR crowd has done a great a job making their bureaucratic utopia a self-fulfilling prophecy through government regulation and lawfare. In an ideal world, HR management would first cut its teeth on the business line, but, as you say, most HR people make HR their career starting in college and are ignorant, or antipathetic, about revenue-generating business.

    Corporate rule by HR, which is not surprisingly the most female and NAM part of most companies, is destroying capitalism. They have been strikingly successful in making big business essentially an arm of the state (which is a characteristic of facism).

    Automation is going to kill more jobs than most people can imagine….

    No, it isn’t.

    Automation is a Rube Goldberg solution to a non-problem that would require phalanxes more office drones to implement and oversee. That is its entire purpose—to divert the revenue stream of productive enterprises from line workers and capex and transfer it to managerial douchebags. But the low hanging fruit of this essentially parasitical strategy has long since been picked. There are numerous signs to indicate that Team D-bag has reached the limit of its strength and is due for a comeuppance. One is that the mystique is finally starting to wear off the tech sector; another is that automation can only develop itself upon an expanding credit base, which simply is not possible in a world of no savings and no growth. Try to imagine a world of generally declining standards of living and increasing anxiety about the future, where all the working men are being asked to support not only a bloated overclass of useless kibbitzers but also their ever-increasing retinue of exigent circus contraptions, and you’ll get a pretty good idea of the prospects of “automation.” Look up Rogaine Musk in a few years for the gritty details.

    Scale makes a huge difference. Mom and Pop is the bottom of the ladder when it comes to management.

    You have to know when to get there, unlock the door without tripping the alarm, and get behind the counter. Inventory is walking down the aisle to see what’s sold out, payroll is the two of you, maybe a part timer or two. Most people can do this level of management.

    As the company gets bigger, now you have specialized staff for bookeeping, personel, inventory, marketing, the list goes on. Real early in that expansion, lots of men, and womyn reach their level of competency, they can maybe handle a couple of locations with 100 employees, but the ability to take it to a higher level, national, that’s really rare in one person.

    Guys like our host, Steve, could give you lots of sources with how difficult high level managment truly is, and why so few womyn are there.

    Another thought; 10 years ago or more, there was another womyn with a mindset like yours. She had seen all these womyn with advanced degrees from the most elite schools and there had been hardly any change in the percentage of womyn CEO’s in the previous 20 years.

    So she decided to contact some of these womyn. Her method was the NYT’s wedding announcement pages. Went back into the archives 10 years and noted the womyn with the best pedigree’s and used public records to track them down. The wedding announcement always mentioned the wife’s educational attainments. She wanted the prime beef.

    Interesting what she found. Most of the womyn had married really well, since their male classmates had the best pedigree’s as well. The reason the vast majority gave as to why they weren’t on the corporate ladder was their husband could and did provide a very comfortable living. They saw no reason to bust their ass like their husbands did every day.

    One womyn said her husband was the CEO of the family; he earned the money. She was the CFO, she spent it. LOL

    Womyn have options in life; to work or not. At least a lot of them. Men’s options are to work, or live on the streets. No womyn will want to support a guy, at least among womyn that are lower middle class and above. The underclass, the guys can find womyn that will sometimes do that. Mainly NAMs tho…

    The male drive to expand and penetrate is arguably the single most important causal force behind globalism.

    No, that’s behind the global population boom. Globalism is the quest to acquire more money so you can attract a better class/looking womyn you can penetrate.

    So, nonwhites make up 1/6th of the Nike executive ranks but 4/6th of the fired executives.

    Nippo-Korean* athletic and functional shoe designers (in other words not the crazy luxury lines e.g. Louboutin) are in the vanguard. Unlike the process in designing most apparel, designing a sneaker requires aesthetic ability and extensive knowledge of materials and process and an abilty to make the shoe function with the human foot. Conceptually it’s closer to architecture, functionality limits what you can do aesthetically but the aesthetics are what the consumer wants. IMHO it wouldn’t hurt Nike to get more leadership from the design sector. Marketing only gets you so far, you need cool and comfort to sell sneakers and athletic apparel.

    They already are a fifth column. Corporate executives are scared to death of HR, and what HR says isn't falsifiable because (1) they're the diverse crowd who care about people, the company's most important assets of course and (2) they claim to serve as the defense against lawsuits and government regulations which must be complied with.

    And the HR crowd has done a great a job making their bureaucratic utopia a self-fulfilling prophecy through government regulation and lawfare. In an ideal world, HR management would first cut its teeth on the business line, but, as you say, most HR people make HR their career starting in college and are ignorant, or antipathetic, about revenue-generating business.

    Corporate rule by HR, which is not surprisingly the most female and NAM part of most companies, is destroying capitalism. They have been strikingly successful in making big business essentially an arm of the state (which is a characteristic of facism).

    Of course they're liars and subversives. They are among the very worst of the hissing serpents poisoning our society. Even their own words convict them if you're willing to apply a little logic. Out of one side of their mouths they loudly proclaim that "female choice destroys civilizations," while out of the other side they'll tell you to game like a PUA dickhead because "that's what woman want."

    So if we grant for argument's sake that both these statements are in fact true, then why on earth would anyone want to give women what they want, since that would only lead to destruction? The entire point of being a man is to defend, protect, purify, deepen, and advance the essence one carries, which as a practical matter usually means creating and preserving civilization not destroying it. Supposing that female choice can only destroy civilization, then catering to the selfish demands of women is contrary to the essence of masculinity and incompatible with real virtue, real genius, and real creativity.

    Now, I do not accept that these statements are true, and therefore the whole argument falls apart. I only mentioned to show that the mega-toes are incapable of being logical even on their own terms. But the whole attitude is extremely destructive nonetheless. It is in fact a carefully crafted lie designed to exploit the human weaknesses of both sexes.

    The weakness of women consists in the fact that they will accept almost any man if the alternative is being alone. As a man, all you have to do is be there at the right time. Therefore, being a PUA gamer will work, but not for the reasons advanced by the game community. It will work because, if your sole objective is getting laid, all you have to do is keep trying and eventually you'll stumble upon a girl in a receptive mood. No big surprises there.

    Meanwhile, the elaborate rococo nonsense with which the gamers justify themselves---all the evolutionary theory and psychology and whatnot---is designed to trigger the specifically male weakness manifested in the egotism that would fain believe that everything one has or achieves in life is the direct result of one's own power and greatness."If you get the girl," they say, "it is because you are a dominant and superior being."

    Clearly, this is just prying into the gearbox of male insecurity and reprogramming it to beat down the weak defenses of female propriety. There is nothing constructive about any of this. It is a plunge first into barbarism and then into hell. The only manly thing to do is to resist it, no matter what it costs one in popularity. The women who wish to be gamed are not worth winning, and the men who game them are not winners but losers. This is a fundamental truth that has always been known but is currently in eclipse, and the sexual dysfunction of the age is a result of this shadow cast into the hearts of men. To stand fast against the present darkness is always the supreme calling of masculinity. The return of the sun will reveal the brave in their glory and wither the lies of the deceivers.

    A while back I mentioned following the irreplaceable Feuilleton, which tracks modern illustration, weird fiction, electronic music and cutting edge art (like Sushi Cats). Its proprietor, the professional artist John Coulthart, is a great illustration of a minor point Steve made a while back that real modern art normally means high-quality magazine illustration, although Coulthart mainly does book covers. Feuilleton is very good about paying attention to the online availability of materials, partly because Coulthart relies heavily on archived copyright-expired lithographs for elaborate digital collages. Twice now the blog has featured a late-seventies science magazine with sci-fi flavoring, which is now available in its entire run free at the Internet Archive. This particular link which I am now pointing up focuses on realistic illustrators of the mid-century magazine cover style who were tapped by NASA and Stanley Kubrick among others to stoke popular excitement for the space program, which I’m guessing a lot of people here would enjoy.

    The longer the MGTOW misogynists (Devlin, Black Pigeon, Heartiste) go without addressing the implications of the 2016 vote, the more I suspect they are not just wrong, but rather liars and subversives.

    Of course they’re liars and subversives. They are among the very worst of the hissing serpents poisoning our society. Even their own words convict them if you’re willing to apply a little logic. Out of one side of their mouths they loudly proclaim that “female choice destroys civilizations,” while out of the other side they’ll tell you to game like a PUA dickhead because “that’s what woman want.”

    So if we grant for argument’s sake that both these statements are in fact true, then why on earth would anyone want to give women what they want, since that would only lead to destruction? The entire point of being a man is to defend, protect, purify, deepen, and advance the essence one carries, which as a practical matter usually means creating and preserving civilization not destroying it. Supposing that female choice can only destroy civilization, then catering to the selfish demands of women is contrary to the essence of masculinity and incompatible with real virtue, real genius, and real creativity.

    Now, I do not accept that these statements are true, and therefore the whole argument falls apart. I only mentioned to show that the mega-toes are incapable of being logical even on their own terms. But the whole attitude is extremely destructive nonetheless. It is in fact a carefully crafted lie designed to exploit the human weaknesses of both sexes.

    The weakness of women consists in the fact that they will accept almost any man if the alternative is being alone. As a man, all you have to do is be there at the right time. Therefore, being a PUA gamer will work, but not for the reasons advanced by the game community. It will work because, if your sole objective is getting laid, all you have to do is keep trying and eventually you’ll stumble upon a girl in a receptive mood. No big surprises there.

    Meanwhile, the elaborate rococo nonsense with which the gamers justify themselves—all the evolutionary theory and psychology and whatnot—is designed to trigger the specifically male weakness manifested in the egotism that would fain believe that everything one has or achieves in life is the direct result of one’s own power and greatness.”If you get the girl,” they say, “it is because you are a dominant and superior being.”

    Clearly, this is just prying into the gearbox of male insecurity and reprogramming it to beat down the weak defenses of female propriety. There is nothing constructive about any of this. It is a plunge first into barbarism and then into hell. The only manly thing to do is to resist it, no matter what it costs one in popularity. The women who wish to be gamed are not worth winning, and the men who game them are not winners but losers. This is a fundamental truth that has always been known but is currently in eclipse, and the sexual dysfunction of the age is a result of this shadow cast into the hearts of men. To stand fast against the present darkness is always the supreme calling of masculinity. The return of the sun will reveal the brave in their glory and wither the lies of the deceivers.

And most women could play the piano at a really high level before recorded music.

I was quite sure that if anyone replied to my comment there would be someone who would point out some great female coder they once knew. This what they call the exception that proves the rule.

    The pattern that I observed at several private industry companies was that the technical people were all white men or Chinese. White men here includes Indians (meaning from India).

    In my areas in private industry there plenty of women in marketing but the engineers, coders and data base analysts were almost exclusively male. When I checked this with Google (the information resource not the company) that seems to be the general pattern too.

    Government was different. There you would find mostly women in the kinds of semi-technical kind of paper pushing jobs I once supervised. I did finance and budgeting in those days. All the lower level accounting jobs were almost exclusively female as well as the welfare workers. Women dominated the eligibility worker and account clerk positions of which there were a great many. So in the published summary statistics there is an impression that females are often employed in math related areas. But that impression obscure the reality that women are usually employed in 'low' math not 'high' math. There are many exceptions but please don't bother to tell me of a brilliant women you once knew who was an exception. I was speaking to a predominant pattern that SJWs wish to obscure with anecdotes.

    I actually don't blame feminism for low birth rates, since countries like Japan and South Korea - not exactly SJW cesspools - are also plagued by low birth rates. It seems that low fertility is a common affliction for wealthy nations.

    (that doesn't explain why poorer Eastern European countries also have relatively low fertility rates, but that's another topic)

    Women will always struggle to attain top positions in anything because of the greater standard deviation of men in virtually all metrics. Are they going to female-dog about disproportionate men in prison, mental hospitals, workplace deaths, murder victims etc... Thought not.

    Replies: @Anon

    Maybe not just standard deviation. Richard Lynn is saying that women’s mean IQ is a quarter SD lower than men’s. Not a big deal … except at the extreme right end. So women, mean 98, SD 14, men, mean 102, SD 16. The IQ difference varies by tested subset, so women do better in some specific tasks.

    They already are a fifth column. Corporate executives are scared to death of HR, and what HR says isn't falsifiable because (1) they're the diverse crowd who care about people, the company's most important assets of course and (2) they claim to serve as the defense against lawsuits and government regulations which must be complied with.

    And the HR crowd has done a great a job making their bureaucratic utopia a self-fulfilling prophecy through government regulation and lawfare. In an ideal world, HR management would first cut its teeth on the business line, but, as you say, most HR people make HR their career starting in college and are ignorant, or antipathetic, about revenue-generating business.

    Corporate rule by HR, which is not surprisingly the most female and NAM part of most companies, is destroying capitalism. They have been strikingly successful in making big business essentially an arm of the state (which is a characteristic of facism).

Sewing was not just using patterns, but doing the size grading yourself and truing all the pattern pieces to work with the new size. And most women could play the piano at a really high level before recorded music.

    Most "ladies", that is to say women raised in a middle or upper class home with some pretensions to refinement, could play a musical instrument at some level, but rarely at what we would today call a professional level. Maybe one or two percent could by today's standards pass an audition for admittance at a conservatory if that. But they could play the popular hymns and sing along tunes of the day.

    Piano was popular but so was guitar: before Saint Segovia made it a concert instrument, they had Tarrega and Sor, and the guitar was played either by upscale females as a parlor instrument or in bars by drunks and gypsies. (Alas, the guitar wielding singing cowboy was mostly the stuff of Hollywood: 'oaters' or 'horse operas' could be shot 90 minutes from LA even on the roads of the day, so a lot were made.) Bowed strings and concertina or accordion were also somewhat popular , as were banjos, mandolins, and in the last days of the phenomenon, electric steel guitar.

    Organs, reed organs pumped manually and later occasionally electrified with a Hoover motor, were also a parlor standby and that led to the home organ craze of the 50s and 60s. Now, the last holdout of that is the Lowrey company, which trains its dealers to efficiently take advantage of semicoherent very old people.

    What killed all this? Availability of recorded music played by full time professionals. Few amateurs sound very good on any instrument as compared to recordings of top pros. Plus which, people don't do stuff at home together any more.

    Of course they're liars and subversives. They are among the very worst of the hissing serpents poisoning our society. Even their own words convict them if you're willing to apply a little logic. Out of one side of their mouths they loudly proclaim that "female choice destroys civilizations," while out of the other side they'll tell you to game like a PUA dickhead because "that's what woman want."

    So if we grant for argument's sake that both these statements are in fact true, then why on earth would anyone want to give women what they want, since that would only lead to destruction? The entire point of being a man is to defend, protect, purify, deepen, and advance the essence one carries, which as a practical matter usually means creating and preserving civilization not destroying it. Supposing that female choice can only destroy civilization, then catering to the selfish demands of women is contrary to the essence of masculinity and incompatible with real virtue, real genius, and real creativity.

    Now, I do not accept that these statements are true, and therefore the whole argument falls apart. I only mentioned to show that the mega-toes are incapable of being logical even on their own terms. But the whole attitude is extremely destructive nonetheless. It is in fact a carefully crafted lie designed to exploit the human weaknesses of both sexes.

    The weakness of women consists in the fact that they will accept almost any man if the alternative is being alone. As a man, all you have to do is be there at the right time. Therefore, being a PUA gamer will work, but not for the reasons advanced by the game community. It will work because, if your sole objective is getting laid, all you have to do is keep trying and eventually you'll stumble upon a girl in a receptive mood. No big surprises there.

    Meanwhile, the elaborate rococo nonsense with which the gamers justify themselves---all the evolutionary theory and psychology and whatnot---is designed to trigger the specifically male weakness manifested in the egotism that would fain believe that everything one has or achieves in life is the direct result of one's own power and greatness."If you get the girl," they say, "it is because you are a dominant and superior being."

    Clearly, this is just prying into the gearbox of male insecurity and reprogramming it to beat down the weak defenses of female propriety. There is nothing constructive about any of this. It is a plunge first into barbarism and then into hell. The only manly thing to do is to resist it, no matter what it costs one in popularity. The women who wish to be gamed are not worth winning, and the men who game them are not winners but losers. This is a fundamental truth that has always been known but is currently in eclipse, and the sexual dysfunction of the age is a result of this shadow cast into the hearts of men. To stand fast against the present darkness is always the supreme calling of masculinity. The return of the sun will reveal the brave in their glory and wither the lies of the deceivers.

    Because civilizations need strong identities and traditions to endure.

    I don't disagree with any of your major claims. I just don't agree that sex denialism necessarily leads to race denialism and therefore cultural disintegration. Now feminism may reduce birth rates, though how much it does so is very much open to doubt, since European nations that have most enthusiastically embraced feminism (the Nordics) have healthier birth rates than relatively more traditional Southern Europeans.

    The common thread is decadent individualism, or the desire for a "dulce vita" as PJB calls it.

    I actually don’t blame feminism for low birth rates, since countries like Japan and South Korea – not exactly SJW cesspools – are also plagued by low birth rates. It seems that low fertility is a common affliction for wealthy nations.

    Haven’t read this new book so I can’t comment on it, but murder instead of accident seems a reasonable speculation to me.

    Merton was famous. Even C. S. Lewis across-the-pond had known who he was and read his books. And Merton published a lot– “the Talkative Trappist. ” Millions of Americans read him, and not only Catholics. Lenny Bruce, for example.

    But he appealed to many of the devout. And now he was starting to be Talkative about Vietnam.

    Shut him up, shut him down. It’s not as if we were going to have one of those fabled National Conversations about…war in Indochina, in this case.

    Rembert Weakland administered the viaticum. The position of Merton’s body was explained: He had soiled himself when he died, and the priests who found him changed him out of care for his dignity.

    I think he was probably murdered, sure.

    I've spent some time reading 19th century American periodicals, including those aimed at women. One thing that I can tell you is that women had skillz in those days! The kind of cooking done was much more sophisticated than today, including chem lab level candy making. Sewing was not just using patterns, but doing the size grading yourself and truing all the pattern pieces to work with the new size. And most women could play the piano at a really high level before recorded music. Josef Hoffman, student of Anton Rubinstein, and quite a famous pianist and composer at the time, had a piano Q and A column in the Ladies Home Journal that dealt with astoundingly advanced piano repertory and topics, based on readers' questions.

    Replies: @kaganovitch, @Anonymous

    Most “ladies”, that is to say women raised in a middle or upper class home with some pretensions to refinement, could play a musical instrument at some level, but rarely at what we would today call a professional level. Maybe one or two percent could by today’s standards pass an audition for admittance at a conservatory if that. But they could play the popular hymns and sing along tunes of the day.

    Piano was popular but so was guitar: before Saint Segovia made it a concert instrument, they had Tarrega and Sor, and the guitar was played either by upscale females as a parlor instrument or in bars by drunks and gypsies. (Alas, the guitar wielding singing cowboy was mostly the stuff of Hollywood: ‘oaters’ or ‘horse operas’ could be shot 90 minutes from LA even on the roads of the day, so a lot were made.) Bowed strings and concertina or accordion were also somewhat popular , as were banjos, mandolins, and in the last days of the phenomenon, electric steel guitar.

    Organs, reed organs pumped manually and later occasionally electrified with a Hoover motor, were also a parlor standby and that led to the home organ craze of the 50s and 60s. Now, the last holdout of that is the Lowrey company, which trains its dealers to efficiently take advantage of semicoherent very old people.

    What killed all this? Availability of recorded music played by full time professionals. Few amateurs sound very good on any instrument as compared to recordings of top pros. Plus which, people don’t do stuff at home together any more.

    OT Nostalgic For A Solar System I've Never Seen
    A while back I mentioned following the irreplaceable Feuilleton, which tracks modern illustration, weird fiction, electronic music and cutting edge art (like Sushi Cats). Its proprietor, the professional artist John Coulthart, is a great illustration of a minor point Steve made a while back that real modern art normally means high-quality magazine illustration, although Coulthart mainly does book covers. Feuilleton is very good about paying attention to the online availability of materials, partly because Coulthart relies heavily on archived copyright-expired lithographs for elaborate digital collages. Twice now the blog has featured a late-seventies science magazine with sci-fi flavoring, which is now available in its entire run free at the Internet Archive. This particular link which I am now pointing up focuses on realistic illustrators of the mid-century magazine cover style who were tapped by NASA and Stanley Kubrick among others to stoke popular excitement for the space program, which I'm guessing a lot of people here would enjoy.

    How does sexual egalitarianism, right or wrong, mean the end of civilization? Please elaborate.

    Let me try. An attempt to make true that which is false (sexes are equal; races are equal) leads to further efforts to deny reality, which, over time, will undermine qualities such as honesty that are essential to an advanced civilization.

    An advanced civilization requires a modicum of honesty to be created and to function.

    Nothing good comes from lies.

    Replies: @Rosie

    over time, will undermine qualities such as honesty that are essential to an advanced civilization.

    A rather attenuated causal relationship, I’d say. The truth is sex denialism is not nearly as counterintuitive as race denialism. The IQ gap between races dwarfs the sex gap. Moreover, it’s most visible at the tail ends, which is quite different from the milieu in which most people live put their lives.

    I actually don't blame feminism for low birth rates, since countries like Japan and South Korea - not exactly SJW cesspools - are also plagued by low birth rates. It seems that low fertility is a common affliction for wealthy nations.

    (that doesn't explain why poorer Eastern European countries also have relatively low fertility rates, but that's another topic)

    Sex denialism by itself may not destroy nations. However, as Keith Alexander of The Political Cesspool has pointed out on many occasions, you can't let the camel's nose in the tent. In other words, once you begin accepting the premises of the cultural left, then it all begins to fall apart.

    Whether it was abolitionism and the women's suffrage movement coexisting during the mid 19th century, second wave feminism following the civil rights/black power movement, or #MeToo and #BLM sharing the same space, the historical record makes it abundantly clear that there is an SJW domino effect.

    I'm not interested in debating the merits of women's suffrage or contending that slavery was a good thing; but the point I'm trying to make is that once you let SJWs take an inch, they'll take a mile. It's not like a nation can be both gender queer friendly and also embrace race realism. With SJWs, you get the whole package.

    Scale makes a huge difference. Mom and Pop is the bottom of the ladder when it comes to management.

    You have to know when to get there, unlock the door without tripping the alarm, and get behind the counter. Inventory is walking down the aisle to see what's sold out, payroll is the two of you, maybe a part timer or two. Most people can do this level of management.

    As the company gets bigger, now you have specialized staff for bookeeping, personel, inventory, marketing, the list goes on. Real early in that expansion, lots of men, and womyn reach their level of competency, they can maybe handle a couple of locations with 100 employees, but the ability to take it to a higher level, national, that's really rare in one person.

    Guys like our host, Steve, could give you lots of sources with how difficult high level managment truly is, and why so few womyn are there.

    So she decided to contact some of these womyn. Her method was the NYT's wedding announcement pages. Went back into the archives 10 years and noted the womyn with the best pedigree's and used public records to track them down.

They saw no reason to bust their ass like their husbands did every day.

    One womyn said her husband was the CEO of the family; he earned the money. She was the CFO, she spent it. LOL

    Womyn have options in life; to work or not. At least a lot of them. Men's options are to work, or live on the streets.

She met with customers, watched them use the software, figured out the problem, and communicated with the coders back home how to fix it. She went on to do more of this, which she loved, which unfortunately took her away from actual coding. By the way, she has a fashion line on the side. I'm wondering whether male coders are allowed to operate a business on the side while working at Microsoft. Grrrrlz who Code!

  149. I worked at a huge Fortune 50 for over 20 years and witnessed many successive waves of efforts to increase our Most Precious Value, Diversity (although it wasn’t always called this).

    Mostly, this focused on blacks, but it seemed the company learned from this after a few purges of pre Me-Too run of the mill sexual harassment/inappropriate shenanigans got rid of rapidly and over-promoted black males who liked the white women a bit too enthusiastically.

    So, what they did, is encourage leaders to self-identify as ‘Diverse’. This led to some hilarious flight from white scenarios, where lots of whites magically discovered hidden depths of non-stale-pale-maleness.

    Blue eyed people with German surnames claimed to be Latino. White Lebanese Christians claimed to be anointed with the holy order of being Diverse. Blue eyes palefaces claimed to be Cherokee (why always this tribe?). An Italian guy claimed to be Puerto Rican. A Greek claimed the Precious as well.

    Beyond reducing the unfortunate tendencies of blacks with power to be overly grabby of the white ladies, what this did is position these corporate transracialists to benefit personally with the benefits of this anointed status, and to position the company externally as having higher numbers of non-whites, which of course means, less evil.

    Due to the extreme over sensitivity of blacks HR manuals have all sorts of ways to inform workers of rules and procedures.

    Often it takes the form of forcing a hundred or so workers to sit through sensitivity sessions where everybody is told not to curse all day long because the blacks curse all day long.

    Or the drug testing for everybody because the blacks come back from lunch either red eyed and half asleep from weed or screeching even louder and faster than usual from coke and speed.

    Or having to sign in and out for lunch because the blacks consider lunch hour to stretch from 12/30 to 2/30.


    True story from UCLA hospital when medical records were all paper and folders All but 2 of 70 or so medical records clerks were blacks.

    The men were recruited from parole and probation offices. The women were Clinton’s welfare to work program. UCLA, bring the White hating negro loving institution it is was so proud of itself for having this and other all blacks departments.

    Of course the blacks blathered all day long ; so loudly they could be heard from the elevator. Often drs nurses techs and clerks had to go to the records department in person to get medical records.

    So all day and night, from 8/am to midnight when fetching a record they had to listen to an endless stream of curse words while waiting for a medical record.

    Plus both hospital workers and visitors could hear them as soon as they got off the elevator.

    So finally the high up administration instructed the black women in charge of medical records to inform the scum & dregs that cursing is not professional.

    The cursing continued non stop. The administration cracked down more. The cursing continued.

    Someone finally figured out the problem. The blacks honestly didn’t know that mofa f*ck n word etc were unacceptable curse words

    That’s the reason UCLA turned its medical records over to a contractor. The contractor hired American Hispanics who knew the difference between curse words and acceptable conversation.

    I’ve always thought the standard behavior and language of blacks is the reason why affirmative action segued so quickly from blacks to women, Hispanics Asians and every conceivable demographic but White heterosexual man.

Your personal life should be something private, not a hair shirt displayed to all. People should dress something like they're headed for a job interview, except for one weekend a month nearest the New Moon, when we will preclude children and relax certain rules in a sort of Mardi Gras, but with the practice of preferring clever costumes over mere nudity.
    >Reinstitute slavery?
    Slavery is the defining characteristic of globalists. It is instituted in too many restaurants and farms. We are the only side with an end to slavery and opposing us means embracing slavery.
    The Constitution is not an arbitrary Christmas list of things that sounded good at the time, it's a system. It doesn't function if you remove pieces from the crysralline central structure. And if it doesn't system then the laws are not laws.

    We do need to restore shame for degeneracy and hedonism, to include heterosexual degeneracy.

    Hear, hear!

    We do need to withdraw the franchise from welfare recipients.

    I think it makes sense to restrict franchise to property owners, no matter how small. When you own a business or a house, even a small condo, things like property value and taxes start to enter the brains of even leftists.

    A cuck is a cuckold, one of Shakespeare's favorite insults: a man who has abdicated his masculine prerogatives, especially regarding his woman. The main presupposition in tolerating promiscuity, open relationships, and cucking is that female sexuality works just like male sexuality. So, yeah, people who believe that men and women are the same are cucks.

    No one likes being made to feel bad (notice my use of the word really in the original statement). Some people take it more personally than others. I think women are more likely on average to do this than men. Do you disagree? Here is a brief take on why (the comments highlight how that piece was written almost 20 years after the book it references ; ): https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/he-speaks-she-speaks/201402/do-women-take-things-personally
    I am interested in your thoughts on all of this.

    To put this another way, I think women tend to define (on average again, obviously) “constructive criticism” a bit differently than men.

    The Left says men and women are exactly the same. The Right is now saying men and women have little or nothing in common. Both are wrong, of course.

    Agreed. There are both differences and similarities and it is important to remember that. Also important to remember that there is usually more variation within each sex than between the sexes (e.g. see height). Yes, that is “Lewontin’s fallacy,” but I believe that is only a fallacy when one uses it to imply the different averages don’t matter.

    I worked at a huge Fortune 50 for over 20 years and witnessed many successive waves of efforts to increase our Most Precious Value, Diversity (although it wasn't always called this).

    Mostly, this focused on blacks, but it seemed the company learned from this after a few purges of pre Me-Too run of the mill sexual harassment/inappropriate shenanigans got rid of rapidly and over-promoted black males who liked the white women a bit too enthusiastically.

    So, what they did, is encourage leaders to self-identify as 'Diverse'. This led to some hilarious flight from white scenarios, where lots of whites magically discovered hidden depths of non-stale-pale-maleness.

    Blue eyed people with German surnames claimed to be Latino. White Lebanese Christians claimed to be anointed with the holy order of being Diverse. Blue eyes palefaces claimed to be Cherokee (why always this tribe?). An Italian guy claimed to be Puerto Rican. A Greek claimed the Precious as well.

    Beyond reducing the unfortunate tendencies of blacks with power to be overly grabby of the white ladies, what this did is position these corporate transracialists to benefit personally with the benefits of this anointed status, and to position the company externally as having higher numbers of non-whites, which of course means, less evil.

    Essentially the Supreme Court is the law of the land. Laws can be made and overturned by the vote of one Supreme Court judge.

    Due to the extreme over sensitivity of blacks HR manuals have all sorts of ways to inform workers of rules and procedures.

    Often it takes the form of forcing a hundred or so workers to sit through sensitivity sessions where everybody is told not to curse all day long because the blacks curse all day long.

    Or the drug testing for everybody because the blacks come back from lunch either red eyed and half asleep from weed or screeching even louder and faster than usual from coke and speed.

    Or having to sign in and out for lunch because the blacks consider lunch hour to stretch from 12/30 to 2/30.

    True story from UCLA hospital when medical records were all paper and folders All but 2 of 70 or so medical records clerks were blacks.

    The men were recruited from parole and probation offices. The women were Clinton’s welfare to work program. UCLA, bring the White hating negro loving institution it is was so proud of itself for having this and other all blacks departments.

    Of course the blacks blathered all day long ; so loudly they could be heard from the elevator. Often drs nurses techs and clerks had to go to the records department in person to get medical records.

    So all day and night, from 8/am to midnight when fetching a record they had to listen to an endless stream of curse words while waiting for a medical record.

    Plus both hospital workers and visitors could hear them as soon as they got off the elevator.

    So finally the high up administration instructed the black women in charge of medical records to inform the scum & dregs that cursing is not professional.

    The cursing continued non stop. The administration cracked down more. The cursing continued.

    Someone finally figured out the problem. The blacks honestly didn’t know that mofa f*ck n word etc were unacceptable curse words

    That’s the reason UCLA turned its medical records over to a contractor. The contractor hired American Hispanics who knew the difference between curse words and acceptable conversation.

    I’ve always thought the standard behavior and language of blacks is the reason why affirmative action segued so quickly from blacks to women, Hispanics Asians and every conceivable demographic but White heterosexual man.
