A capon speaks:

‘A man’s guide to not being part of the #MeToo problem’

Sickening.  Pandering, grovelling cowardly and all too common among those who just can’t stand the burden of being a man. Those who imagine that becoming feminized is the answer to feminist extremism, instead of picking up the burden of being a man, picking up the responsibility of preserving the civilization built by men and raising decent boys in that mould.
Abject surrender and cowardice is never a pretty sight. Especially when the coward presumes to lecture other men.

Bravo, Damien Grant!

To find such a piece in this morning’s NZ Stuff “news” was a jaw-dropping delight. I damn near choked on coffee #7.

The baying mob of left-wing commentators aren’t brave or radical – and they can barely spell or use a spreadsheet

For, today’s radical isn’t the woke feminist railing about rape-culture or the campaigning Twitter activist ranting into the wind about the lack of state funding for transgender pre-teens. It is the handful, for that is all we are, who defies the increasingly oppressive strictures being imposed on us….

From a sad, beautiful essay

By Peter Hitchens.

…They were the faithful, the best, self-selected for early childless death in the mud. We could not afford to lose them. Their names, listed intolerably outside Oxford and Cambridge Colleges, in the chapels of the great schools, and on granite memorials in every city, town, and village, are the names of those who would have maintained our traditions of Christian liberty and justice in every calling, profession, and trade, and who now lie, far from home, dead before they could get children and pass on their virtues. We who were left behind live in the ruins of a lost civilization, scuttling in and out of doorways too tall for us.

Pixel parenting

‘Children are spending more and more time in front of technology screens—even as studies begin to reveal the damage.

……As the NIH study progresses, Americans will learn more about how screens harm children’s brains, but we already know that tablet screens compromise attentiveness, induce agitation, distort perspective, and hinder interaction. Speaking on 60 Minutes, pediatrician Dimitri Christakis confirmed screens’ effect on babies, noting that skills learned on iPads, such as “stacking” virtual blocks, don’t translate into physical skills. “They don’t transfer the knowledge from two dimensions to three,” Christakis told Cooper.
