Women in Astronomy

Eight years ago, astronomers found a new gas giant exoplanet, named 2MASS, J2126-8140 which was believed to be a rogue planet floating freely through space. It has now been determined that 2MASS is actually part of the largest solar system ever discovered. This historic discovery was made by astronomical teams headed by Dr. Niall Deacon of the University of Hertfordshire in the U.K., Dr. Simon Murphy of the Australian National University, and Dr. Joshua Shlieder from the NASA Ames Research Centre in California. The collaborators believe that the new solar system did not originate, as ours did, from a disc of dust and gas, but was formed in some way not yet fully understood.  In a recent press conference, the researchers announced that they were bringing some female astronomers onto the team to help them theorize about the origins of this system; it is felt that a woman’s perspective, a perspective operating outside the rigid, exclusionary binarisms and linear logic of masculist conceptual structures, will be more likely to solve this astronomical enigma.

Okay—that last statement is not true. It’s true that a team of male researchers has discovered a new solar system. But the researchers are not, to my knowledge,

Feminism as a Victim Mentality Disorder

I’ve been asked on more than one occasion to comment on how white western feminists typically focus intensively on what would seem to a reasonable person the most trivial cases of “sexism,” such as so-called workplace sexual harassment, while remaining silent about—or even justifying—overt  abuses if the victimizers are not white men, a case in point being the years-long complicity of many feminist officials and journalists in the cover-up of the sex abuse scandal in Rotherham, England between 1997 and 2013, in which an estimated 1400 children were sexually abused, often with extreme violence, by gangs of British-Pakistani men, an abuse ignored and denied for years in the interests of multicultural harmony.

I’m not an expert on that or other similar incidents, but I do consider myself an expert on the western feminist mindset that

Paul Nathanson At The University Of Ottawa

The Student Revolutionary Movement (RSM) sent members to the  University of Ottawa to disrupt Dr. Paul Nathanson's talk on why he chose to research men. The protesters arrived around 6:30 PM and blocked the one entrance/exit door making it difficult for people to come and go. Security arrived quickly and escorted the protesters from the building. The police also arrived, bringing the number of officers and security guards to about 8 or 10.

None of the protesters were interested in listening to the lecture, but they donned face masks on the pretense that they would be at risk from attendees. A viewer would have to be brain dead to be fooled by this juvenile tactic, a manipulative trick in the vein of  "if I cry, people will believe he hit me." The RSM have done this in the past, and they followed up with fantastical lies about the event to disguise the

Threat Of Violence By Suspected Member Of The Revolutionary Student Movement (RSM)

I will be filming a lecture by Paul Nathanson tonight, February 10, at the University of Ottawa, and the Revolutionary Student Movement (RSM, a Marxist group that advocates bringing about communism by force) intends to block and/or shutdown this event. In the past RSM members have covered their faces to hide their identities during protests.

Recently I received a threat from Chris Brown, who I believe is a member of the RSM. Here are some photos of Chris Brown and a copy of the exchange containing his threats:

The Prison-Industrial Complex Is Hiring: Long Hours, No Pay

This article in The Atlantic, "American Slavery, Reinvented" is depressing, but it is also important. I particularly like this quote from the thirteenth amendment of the US constitution:

"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

This quote explains the private prison system in which prisoners work for multi-national corporations. It also explains the increasingly harsh sentences, and the new trend to criminalize ordinary human behavior with prison time for non-crimes like inability to make child support payments: the prison industrial complex needs more slaves.

How long will we tolerate this inhumanity?
