I have been scrupulously avoiding exposing myself to the degradation of mainstream “news” media of late. Yet despite my best efforts, I did hear tell that there has been something of a political storm in a tea cup brewed up by some, over the new Prime Minister’s appointing only one woman to a cabinet ministry position.
It seems there are many in our community, and particularly those who self-identify as socially and politically “progressive”, who fervently believe that there should be more women in positions of power and responsibility.
I remembered this, while working out at the gym yesterday.
For the first time, I had taken with me the ear plugs I wear while riding my motorcycle. My aim? To block out the soul-destroying, mind-numbing, monotonic noise of the music videos playing on the gym’s entertainment system. With that noise mostly gone, I was able to work out in relative quiet, and peace. And in that near silence, I could not help but notice instead the monotonic images flickering from the ubiquitous TV screens.
Here are just two of the many, thematically-identical music videos that I recall seeing yesterday. Watch both of them. Right through. Take careful note of how the main characters are clothed. Or not. Their physical behaviour. What the videographers repeatedly draw your attention to. And if, perchance, you still don’t “get” the common theme, consider also the lyrics:
Lyrics – Rude Boy
Lyrics – Talk Like That
I do not see “free”, “liberated”, “empowered” females there.
I see debasement.
I see enslavement.
I see two souls. Two beautiful Beings. Whose bodies have been commodified. Used. To make money. For other people.
Alas, what I also see, are role models. For today’s young females.
Tomorrow’s adults … parents … and purported national leaders.
I cannot but wonder at the myopia of those who have selfishly sought to gain political (and/or self-assumed moral) advantage, by making a song and dance about there being only one woman — a “token”, they say — appointed to the new government’s inner cabinet.
Are these gender warriors really, truly concerned about “advancing the cause of women”?
If so, then perhaps we may, some day, witness their abandoning the weight of their double standards, and taking up arms with equal umbrage over the rampant sexploitation of females in music, in advertising, indeed, in just about all forms of modern mass “communication”.
We may even see them actively supporting, rather than viciously mocking — as is their wont — the likes of Melinda Tankard Reist.
Forgive me for saying so, dear reader.
But methinks the latterly-caricatured and ridiculed “home maker” female of generations past, likely enjoyed more dignity, respect, and freedom, than the 24/7 sexploited “working” female of the “liberated”, “progress-ive” present.
“None are so hopelessly enslaved, as those who falsely believe they are free. The truth has been kept from the depth of their minds by masters who rule them with lies. They feed them on falsehoods till wrong looks like right in their eyes.”
– Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Barnaby Is Right 
The battle between good and evil is by design in my opinion – Isaiah 45:5-7, “I am The Self Existent, [Strongs 3068] and none else is; there is no God except Me, I will clothe you, though you do not know Me, that they may know from the rising of the sun, and to the sunset, that none besides Me is; I am The Self Existent, and none else is; forming light and creating darkness, making peace and creating evil; I, The Self Existent, do all these things.”

From Protocol 14
.
WE SHALL FORBID CHRIST
.
2. At the same time we shall not omit to emphasize the historical mistakes of the GOY governments which have tormented humanity for so many centuries by their lack of understanding of everything that constitutes the true good of humanity in their chase after fantastic schemes of social blessings, and have never noticed that these schemes kept on producing a worse and never a better state of the universal relations which are the basis of human life ….
.
3. The whole force of our principles and methods will lie in the fact that we shall present them and expound them as a splendid contrast to the dead and decomposed old order of things in social life.
.
4. Our philosophers will discuss all the shortcomings of the various beliefs of the “GOYIM,” BUT NO ONE WILL EVER BRING UNDER DISCUSSION OUR FAITH FROM ITS TRUE POINT OF VIEW SINCE THIS WILL BE FULLY LEARNED BY NONE SAVE OURS WHO WILL NEVER DARE TO BETRAY ITS SECRETS.
.
5. IN COUNTRIES KNOWN AS PROGRESSIVE AND ENLIGHTENED WE HAVE CREATED A SENSELESS, FILTHY, ABOMINABLE LITERATURE. For some time after our entrance to power we shall continue to encourage its existence in order to provide a telling relief by contrast to the speeches, party program, which will be distributed from exalted quarters of ours …. Our wise men, trained to become leaders of the GOYIM, will compose speeches, projects, memoirs, articles, which will be used by us to influence the minds of the GOYIM, directing them towards such understanding and forms of knowledge as have been determined by us.
An afterthought –

Jeremiah 2:19
.
“Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.”
They do it cause they get paid to do it. Didn’t I point out that people will do anything for money? I’m sure I did.
Money has that effect on people. It’s not good or evil, just the way it is, and the way it will always be.
You must be getting bored. Women sold themselves out long ago in their quest for “equality”, whatever that is. Germaine Greer demanded it as she derided men for not being what she expected. She ended up a bitter and lonely old woman. Several generations of western women have been sold the same product and wonder why many men do not marry any more.
It is a sad world we live in. I am old enough to see that most women in our society are damaged goods. I once stated in a forum that if I ever had to marry again, God forbid, that in all probabilities I would not touch (not literal) a western woman with a ten foot pole.
Your blog has all the hallmarks of an 80+ year old lamenting about what is, but on this issue will will agree.
Anthony Albanese it seems would agree with you Mick –

Well said. I certainly would not call that “empowerment” of women.
Many women expect to be treated like ladies, but they don’t behave like them.
If being “enlightened” means ended up like a cranky old woman like Germaine Greer, forget it.
