Honestly! What the heck Western News Media? (The Guardian excluded) I think it would be nice to know about humanity once again visiting our moon and doing sciency things, maybe report on it?
China on Friday broadcast pictures taken by its rover and lander on the far side of the moon, in what its space programme hailed as another triumph for the groundbreaking mission.
The pictures, shown on the state broadcaster CCTV, showed the Jade Rabbit 2 rover and the Chang’e 4 spacecraft that transported it during the first soft landing on the side of the moon that always faces away from Earth.
The pictures were transmitted by a relay satellite to a control centre in Beijing, although it was not immediately clear when they were taken.
Showing the rover moving away from its lander, officials with the China National Space Administration said they marked a “total success” for the mission.

When you look up at the full moon, you only ever see one face, but scientists believe that the far side, eternally hidden from view, may hold the key to fundamental mysteries about the moon’s formation. Last week, a Chinese spacecraft made history by becoming the first to land on the far side of the moon. Today, China shared pictures showing a rocky surface with the jagged edges of craters in the background. Among the images is this 360-degree panorama stitched together from 80 photos. Researchers hope that low-frequency observations of the cosmos from the far side of the moon, where radio signals from Earth are blocked, will help scientists learn more about the early days of the solar system and the birth of the universe’s first stars. The pioneering landing also highlights China’s ambitions to rival the US, Russia and Europe with its space programme.

Go Chinese space agency!
The RPOJ comes for thee RPF.
Wow. Do any of you remember the first Indiana Jones film? Raiders of the Lost Ark? Remember the beginning the tense action sequence when Indy switches the statue for a holy satchel of sand and then all hell breaks loose, Indy has to run for his life, avoiding darts, boulders, and irate local inhabitants. It was a tense and glorious romp.
What we are about to partake in, isn’t like that at all.
Imagine if you will, that very Indy-esque moment happening here in the blogosphere, but instead of a golden statue, a freshly polished intellectual turd, a veritable extruded husk of bullshit argumentation. And the satchel, instead, a thread bare mouldy hassock filled with a funky-spunky hash of whingy-cringy manspination. The switch is made, the anticipation rises… then falls limp in its sublimely uninteresting putrescence. There is no heroic dash to safety, no hairsbreadth escape, only the grim realization that there is no where to go, but down.
This article is from a genuine RED PILL FATHER (see also Reactionary Pile of Fuckery). He has taken the path of seeing feminism, as only a man can see it, and since it is how a man sees it, it MUST BE true. What is fascinating is the asymptotic nature (he comes close to having a clue on at least one occasion) of his knowledge of feminism being put on display – this RPF, has read things… things on the internet no less, that describe what feminism is, but evidently information written by people who know sweet fuck all about what feminism is.
Let us begin.
“As a Red Pill Father, one of my main goals in life, beyond making my life, and as a consequence of that, my marriage better, is ensuring that I prevent, to the best of my ability, the tainting of my young daughter’s minds with modern day Feminism.”
Because a base level of narcissism is required to be a douche, thus I will make it a requirement, perhaps even to the level of necessary ‘background douche-radiation’ (see male socialization), for ‘being successful at life’. And apparently allowing your daughter access to the philosophy/praxis that seeks to ground her humanity into the fabric of society is a compete and utter non-starter. Sorry hunny, no human being status for you.
“This is part one of a three part series of posts I’ll do depicting how Feminism is lying to both men and women”
It’s kinda creepy, yet edifying to see RPF mistakenly categorize feminism as monolithic singular totality. One might surmise that RPF is a fan of morally simplistic binary thinking and all of the sound and fury that emanates from such etymologically denuded intellectual black holes. Because fuck nuance and attention to detail; it makes wrapping the tinfoil around one’s head so much more difficult.
” and how fathers today can combat it so their sons and daughters don’t end up buying into the modern Feminist lie at their own expense.”
Ah, RPF is a tinfoil wrapped holy crusader of man-justice, ready to dispense wisdom and shield his property children from the great evil feminist satan.
“Classical vs Modern Feminism
Not everyone will agree with me on this but Feminism, in it’s earliest iterations (I’m talking late 1800s suffragists), started out as a movement with honorable intentions, back when actual inequality of opportunity between the sexes existed.”
Oh thanks RPF dude. I’m glad you approve of women striving to be recognized as human in society. You’re not going to qualify your approval of women’s struggle are you? That would be a dick move…
*

“However, […]”
*
*
**facepalm**

“However, even with that goal, the feminist narrative of equal rights and suffrage was tainted as it didn’t come with “equal responsibility” for women. For example, women were not subject to the military draft, even to this day, but were granted the right to vote. It wasn’t until the promise was made that women wouldn’t be drafted that more women got on board with the suffrage movement.”
Ah, the vernerable draft chestnut. If you can’t serve the military-machine then its completely obvious and follows that you should have no say in how the county is run. All aboard the shit-boat of stupidity. RPF is also no longer subject to the draft circa 2019 thus he also qualifies as lacking in ‘responsibility’ and therefore by his criteria, have no voting rights.
*
*
“So from the start, even though the intentions were good, the stated intention of true “equality” is a lie.”
I suspect that RPF would not know equality if bit him firmly on the ass, but we should let his assertions demonstrate, rather than me, your humble host tell you particular fact.
*
*
“They wanted all of the authority given to men with none of the responsibilities, and they got it.”
Ah yes, I can recall that golden age, where women could work where they pleased, in any profession, open a bank account, hell… even marry and divorce whomever they saw fit back during the days of first wave feminism.
Actually, no. Women could do none of the above and the fact the RPF glosses over these inconvenient truths is proof positive he is filled to the brim with his own bullshit. Feminism is the female struggle for liberation from patriarchy, and in the case of First Wave, struggle for base acknowledgement as human beings. This talk of ‘authority’ and ‘responsibilities’ is but mere projection of your twisted view of society through your (a)historic lens.
*
*
“And it’s this quite unequal dynamic that persists into today and is causing the feminists to want more and more authority for less responsibility. Give them an inch and they’ll take a mile.”
One of the key features of the MRA/Redpill dynamic is the reversal of the dominant/subordinate roles. You see, we still live in a patriarchy, where men’s hands hold the levers of power and circumscribe how society functions. There has been no historical reversal of the power roles. No, what makes the MRA cabal’s fevered minds twist and spin is the mere notion that they cannot be the sole arbiters of power in society anymore. The gall of women to assert that they should have *any* say in society is a evil for them that does not sleep.
*

“I believe that women’s suffrage can coexist with women who vote in the best interests of our culture and society, but those interests have to be informed and framed by the masculine and with the requisite amount of actual authority given to those who carry the lion’s share of responsibility.”
You can vote Sweety, but only how I see fit. RPF is stupid as he is condescending. Nothing *needs* to be framed by the masculine. Most of the bat shit crazy that exists in the world today is precisely because we continue to frame issues in terms of the masculine. So no, you don’t get to dispense with the basic female rights to human being status, because of your misguided notion of responsibility (which so far is the right to be drafted into male initiated slaughter – I’m still trying to square how ‘responsible behaviour’ jives with participating in mass slaughter).
*

“Just as you will be the best father for your children by fulfilling your role as a masculine role model and wielding your authority for the good of your family.”
Have you missed out on the last 30 years so of sociological research that points to negative outcomes for children of parents that adapt stereotypical gender roles? Apparently so. Families thrive when there is trust, compassion, and empathy. Your notions of masculine authority are shit.
*
*
“It wasn’t the female vote that got us here today, it was the continued onslaught of overzealous Feminism in its false crusade for the elusive, and already achieved, “equality” sans the commensurate responsibility for women that got us here.”
Its good to know that men are responsible for the violent culture we live in, responsible for the desecration of the earth and responsible for the wars and senseless bloodletting that continue on, even as this article is penned.

“Classical vs Modern Feminism:
*
- Equal pay for the “same” work.
-
- Right to vote,
- Pursuit of happiness and liberty.
VS Modern
-
- [1] Women are to be celebrated and advantaged above all else, at the expense of men.
- [2] These expectations reign even over the right of an unborn child to live.
- [3] Believe all women all the time without verifying. What happened to Trust but Verify?”
Wow. So much bullshit condensed down into handy bullet points.
- Examples? Because women now dominate every facet of society. Women in key political office, captains of industry, they are everywhere. In fact they are the defacto status quo – all of literature is about women and their achievements. Pop culture is chock full of positive female role models that demonstrate talent and ability and determined effort are all societal sanctioned keys to female success (nay dominance, to believe RPF’s hokum).
- What? You mean women have a right to say what goes on in their own bodies and determine their productive futures as they see fit – like real human beings with rights and everything? You have no idea what pregnancy does to the female body, if you did, you’d stop saying fatuous bullshit like this.
- The fuck? What does this even mean? Women’s inferior status in society comes with a bevy of problems when accessing the political and legal systems within our society. Women are still fighting to be heard and working toward reducing the bias against them for reporting the sexual violence against them, because shockingly in a patriarchy, women are not encouraged to hold men accountable for their shitty behaviour.
“Feminism originally started out to correct actual injustices in society but has gone so far that it is now making both men and women miserable.”
Feminism has always been antagonistic toward male power and privilege, this fact makes you sad.
“Feminism today is not about equality, it’s about disempowering and emasculating men.”
As stated earlier, (effective) Feminism is about the liberation of women from the structures of society that oppress them. So, if by correcting male excess in society is ’emasculating’; so be it.
“Children are very sensitive to what is “fair.” Whether it’s the size of the piece of cake they get compared to their friends, how much time they or their siblings get to play with Daddy. They know and they keep score. One day this past year my young daughter became aware of “International Girls Day.” She asked what it’s about and her very next question was, “Is there a Boy’s Day?” Young minds, untainted by the Feminist supremacy agenda, can detect inequality.”
Probably the same reason there isn’t a white history month you slack-jawed oxygen thief.
“Take advantage of that now. Reinforce this. Feminists of today would say, “Who cares about Boys Day… they’ve had their turn.””
Well that and every other day happens to be ‘boys day’. Funny how that works when you happen to be in the class that is accorded personhood by default.
“Which is the other side is the “It’s HER turn” coin. It’s just reverse sexism or “Also Sexism.” Not a child. A child knows better and so do Red Pill aware men.”
Reverse sexism. Wow, those slaves sure could oppress their masters couldn’t they. Just like the people of colour regularly practice reverse racism against white people. *sigh*. Trying to make the playing field even when it intrinsically isn’t is the second play in the (‘oppressed’) white dude play book. Minorities can most certainly discriminate, but their prejudices are not reinforced and normalized by the rest of society. Apples and oranges my dear whingy faux-oppressed RPF.
“I’ll take Tolpin’s point a step farther and assert that Feminism, in it’s modern form, not only tells women they don’t need men but continues to assure that men are made into ATM-Betas through the family court system.”
The court system remains in favour of men. I know the notion that being responsible for children is tough (kinda funny that you state earlier your anti-abortion ‘ethic’, and yet here are decidedly anti-family-responsibility) and quite unpalatable for RPF like yourself.
“Our femcentric culture ensures that women still have full access to the resources and money that men possess, even if men choose not to play by their rules. So of course women don’t need men nowadays, the State has ensured, through the establishment of Feminist legislation, they get that support either way.”
I’d like to know when it because femcentric culture, because I think that it doesn’t exist outside RPF’s fevered dreams. Do note his keen yearings for the golden age where women had no rights and their survival depended upon the largess of men.
The notion that women share the same status as men must be truly horrifying to RPF. You mean women are not merely objects to be possessed and collected – the hatred of women must be intense to conjure up this opposite world fantasy the RPF spouts. I don’t see any other reason for it.
“I truly believe, and the social evidence supports this*, that Feminism is not only detrimental to men, it’s disparaging to family, marriage and is even doing women a disservice.”
*Citation needed
Also, how would full human being status for females damage society? The only artifact that looks threatened with female liberation is patriarchy.
“The lie has hurt many women who prioritized “moving up the corporate ladder,” while putting off having a family until they’re 40 only to find that at that age, attracting a quality man is difficult and their prospects for conceiving a baby naturally are severely diminished. “
Because baby making is the ultimate expression of female achievement. Fuck off with your misogynistic, antediluvian attitudes dude.
“This is not the future I want for my daughters.”
The mindfuck you are subjecting them to is darkening their future as you speak.
Thanks folks, and thanks(?) to the manosphere for providing such a bountiful harvest of stupidity.
“The fact of the matter is that there is a little bit of the totalitarian buried somewhere, way down deep, in each and every one of us. It is only the cheerful light of confidence and security which keeps this evil genius down… If confidence and security were to disappear, don’t think that he would not be waiting to take their place. “
-George Kennan (1947).
Megan Murphy last night at the Vancouver Public Library:
“Despite what transactivists claim it is not illegal to understand that biological sex is real and that it matters which is essentially what I and other women have been smeared, censored and no-platformed for saying . It’s also not illegal to understand that a woman is an adult human female. It’s not illegal to defend women’s transition houses and to argue that when women are escaping male violence they should have access to spaces that make them feel safe where they can speak to women who understand what it’s like to grow up female in this world and where they can be assured that they won’t be made more vulnerable by having to share a room with a man.
It is not illegal to understand that male bodies and female bodies are different and that women and girls have the right to compete in sports under fair terms against other women and girls not against men who, in most cases, would have an unfair advantage…
It’s not illegal in Canada for lesbians to limit their choices in intimate partners to women only and to refuse sexual partners with penises.”
— Meghan Murphy (Excerpt from speech at Vancouver Public Library)
Feminism has a voice in Canada. Meghan Murphy continues the struggle against male power and for the rights of women. This event almost didn’t happen thanks to the ‘progessive, inclusive’ left.
Thank you for persevering Ms.Murphy.
Canadian feminism at its finest.
Made the news as well.
