Anecdote of a smart woman herewith.
Thursday I and a friend took the truck out to explore out past a popular beach near La Paz.
It was 95F.
About a mile from where people are, we saw a car on the beach.
A woman waving her arms at us, and we drove closer. She got stuck driving her rental car on the beach.
She said she's from Mexico City and working in finance. I noticed a tote bag with Black Rock on it.
We let air out of the tires, and dug a lot of sand away from the wheels, and put the floor mats under them.
No dice, so I had 150 feet of thin rope and doubled it a couple of times, then tied to the axle.
The truck was in 4x4 lo gear, and I started pulling in reverse.
After a while the girl told my friend driving her stuck car: "I forgot to tell you, I engaged the emergency brake."
What a stupid bimbo.
Edit: there is no cell reception, and she was at least a mile from anyone who could drive her back to La Paz; she would have had a tough time walking in the broiling sun.

I think we might be onto something: the women will follow the men. Over the weekend, the New York Times accidentally wrote a love letter to the conservative counterrevolution. Headlined “‘Less Prozac, More Protein’: How Conservatives Are Winning Young Women,” the article meant to sound an alarm but instead read like a recruitment brochure.

The piece covered the 2025 Young Women’s Leadership Summit in Dallas, Texas, hosted by Turning Point USA, where roughly 3,000 sundress-clad twenty-somethings packed into a ballroom to fiercly chant “less feminism, more femininity” and ask pointed questions like “How do I find a husband?” and “What’s the best Bible-based birth control method?” And no, this isn’t satire.

This was the largest conservative women’s event in the country — and according to the Times, it’s doubling in size every year. ...

And it’s working. According to the Times, these women aren’t being dragged rightward by their boyfriends or pastors. They’re empowered, and are leading the charge themselves. They’re cutting birth control, cutting processed foods, and cutting ties with feminism. They’re trading antidepressants for raw milk, and TED Talks for Titus 2. They’re not opting out of modernity. They’re diagnosing it.

Critics sneered at the irony of a “leadership summit” built around telling women to get out of the workforce. But the women didn’t seem confused. They seemed grateful. One college student told the Times she was “so relieved” to finally hear someone say what she’d long felt but couldn’t say out loud: that careerism and hookup culture weren’t fulfilling, and maybe — just maybe — she wanted something older, slower, and saner. ...

The piece highlighted one Rhaelynn Zito, a 25-year-old nurse —a healthcare professional, in other words— who lives in Raleigh. In 2023, she hit bottom. She went through an ugly breakup, lost a family member, and yearned for purpose outside work. Rhaelynn started listening to Alex Clark, whose show is found among the top ten health podcasts on Spotify.

After listening to Mrs. Clark, Rhaelynn said, she no longer identifies as a feminist. It changed her life. She started a Bible study group, cut down on drinking, and stopped dating casually. Instead, she is focused on finding a husband. She stopped using birth control, and has become dubious about abortions and vaccines. ...

Of course, the piece treated the movement like a quirky diet fad —part Goop, part GOP. But what’s really happening here mirrors the same movement among young men returning to faith: disillusionment with nihilism, a longing for order, beauty, tradition, and even —dare I say it— God. Only in this case, it’s wearing sundresses and quoting Proverbs.

Finally, the Times mentioned, but also underplayed, covid’s role:

The pandemic, for many women at the conference, had been a
moment of rupture, of questioning pre-existing beliefs. They were
stuck at home, isolated, uncertain about their futures and in some
cases distressed about the lockdowns and protests in their
communities. They began to seek out new political perspectives.

It was my theme from my Heritage talk. A moment of rupture? What was ruptured? Questioning pre-existing beliefs? Which beliefs? The pandemic shattered our conception of culture, of democracy and freedom, of checks-and-balances. It ruptured everything we’d thought we knew about the world we lived in. The Times can see it, as though through a glass darkly, but still avoids the profound implications.

Here comes The Reckoning.™ And we’re just getting started.

I started the first feminist theatre in Canada. I know this because a grad student did her master’s thesis on Feminist Theatre in Canada (poor thing) and called to interview me. I was 22, and dumb as a rock. ...

I repent here and now. What feminism has become is anathema. I am actually scared of women. I am afraid of their anger, and I am afraid of their cruelty, their harshness, and I see it everywhere. Luckily through my work I have met women who think like me and we are friends and I am not afraid of them. But I shrink from all other friendships. Female friendships today are built on one thing: are you on side? Are you for abortion, against the patriarchy, for Hamas and most recently, the Mullahs, celebrate female politician wins as long as they are on side, ally with the LBGTZQ+ community, etc.? I am none of these things, so were I to venture into ‘women’s spaces’ eventually the furies would plot revenge. I would be cast afloat, thrown into the wild to fend for myself, as an uppity woman would have been in clan or tribal times, to which we are reverting. ...

Feminists did not become women with huge opportunity and the world open, they became men. And not nice ones either. The brutalism in public life is allowed by these women, they prosecute it, they push abortion up to birth, they push euthanasia of the elderly, they push vaccines that kill and maim. They are legalistic, certain that the next law, the next insane leader, will be the magic one that squares the circle, an equally unsolvable task. They have no compassion because they are cosplaying what they told each other a million times, that men were brutal, selfish, heartless. That, they decided, is the route to success and transformation of society in their image. Plus, deliciously, they get to show power and payback. The honk of a laugh of a woman in revenge mode. I’ve heard it and it always shocks me.

Yes, this is true. Does anyone remember all the sob stories on the news about bosses abusing women in the workforce? I think that was in the 80s. The news leads to the future. The news is the pilot of society.

Yes, multiple studies and analyses indicate that porn featuring violence against women is more popular among women than men.

Data from Pornhub and other major porn sites analyzed by Dr. Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, a former Google data scientist, shows that women are more than twice as likely as men to search for videos where women are abused, coerced, or depicted as being raped. About 25% of all straight porn searches by women were for videos featuring violence against women, and 5% specifically for rape scenarios.

I’m open and honest to a fault sometimes. I remember attending a party in my early 20s (this was decades ago) and, among 5-6 people (some girls), I mentioned that most women have rape fantasies. That did not go over very well.

They have fantasies of being raped by Chad, yes. But being raped by most other men, no.

Yes, I imagine that’s a very important distinction. LOL

In 2011, a woman blogged about being sexually harassed in an elevator at a male-skewing atheist convention. Richard Dawkins belittled her in his notorious “Dear Muslima” open letter, arguing that Western feminists have it pretty good under liberalism compared to those living under Islam, and should chill out. Dawkins wanted atheists to keep their eyes on the prize, fighting superstition and religiosity in all its forms. He faced fierce backlash from ascendant feminists within his own camp.


The letter:


Dear Muslima

Stop whining, will you. Yes, yes, I know you had your genitals mutilated with a razor blade, and . . . yawn . . . don’t tell me yet again, I know you aren’t allowed to drive a car, and you can’t leave the house without a male relative, and your husband is allowed to beat you, and you’ll be stoned to death if you commit adultery. But stop whining, will you. Think of the suffering your poor American sisters have to put up with.

Only this week I heard of one, she calls herself Skep”chick”, and do you know what happened to her? A man in a hotel elevator invited her back to his room for coffee. I am not exaggerating. He really did. He invited her back to his room for coffee. Of course she said no, and of course he didn’t lay a finger on her, but even so . . .

And you, Muslima, think you have misogyny to complain about! For goodness sake grow up, or at least grow a thicker skin.

My view is different: Women have ALWAYS been this way, they just didn't have the opportunity and they were aggressively shamed and trained to be less selfish and under their father or husband's control.

Why So Blue: Liberal Women are Less Happy, More Lonely. But Why?

Young conservative women are three times as likely to report being very satisfied with life compared to young liberal women.

These two factors, church and marriage, account for about half the ideological gap among young women in a multivariate analysis of life satisfaction that included controls for factors like race, education, and income.

Liberal young women are less likely to be integrated into core American institutions—marriage and religion—that lend meaning, direction, and a sense of solidarity to women’s lives.

It's leftoidism which makes many ugly over time, they all start out roughly the same.
