Taki’s Magazine’s Jim Goad on the latest fad, female to male transsexuals who breastfeed “chestfeed”:

Huffington Post, that digital safe space for menopausal liberals in the early stages of Alzheimer’s, ran an article a few weeks ago titled “The Troubling Erasure of Trans Parents Who Breastfeed.” Without a hint of a wink, the article states that the notion that “gender is tied to biology” is an “antiquated belief.”

Because of course just because she has a vagina, just gave birth, and is lactating, doesn’t mean she’s not a real, honest-to-goodness manly dudebro, you evil bigot.

Harvard University has made and distributed placemats with leftist talking points, perfect for students to use to wreck Christmas dinner by starting stupid political fights.

From the Daily Caller:

Harvard spokeswoman Rachel Dane told Campus Reform the placemats were deliberately intended to shape the conversations undergraduates have with their parents.

Another Harvard representative, assistant diversity dean Emelyn de la Peña, insisted the placemats do not constitute indoctrination despite presenting only a single point of view as correct.

This is very disappointing. We would have thought Harvard students were better than this.

I mean, if you can’t even memorize your talking points for annoying Uncle Frank, what kind of annoying leftist brat are you?

Lazy, lazy, lazy…

Now, after being mocked in certain corners of the press, Harvard backpedaled, no doubt worried more about potential loss of alumni donations and prestige than because they actually regretted their idiot indoctrination placemats.

The latest SJW kerfuffle in Australia relates to the above cartoon by Bill Leak, which they say depicts poor Indians as being too stuppid to know solar panels can’t be eaten, as opposed to, say, rich Westerners being too stupid to realize poor countries have more pressing concerns than renewable energy.

Theodore Dalrymple gives his take over at Taki’s Magazine:

The reaction to the cartoon, however, was indicative of what one might call the will to outrage. This will precedes any object to which it might attach, and many people wait as if in ambush for something to feel angry about, pouncing on it with leopard-like joy (the leopard, so I was told in Africa, is particularly dangerous, for it kills for pleasure and not only for food).

Commenting on yet another case of campus SJWs run mad, in which a college junior made the mistake of expressing his disinterest in black girls and was subsequently suspended for six months, Walter Hudson nails their end game:

In a real sense, relationships are a privilege. In a world where relationships are consensual, they are a privilege sustained by mutual consent. I retain certain privileges with my spouse, my children, my friends and co-workers, the members of my congregation, and anyone else willing to associate with me.

If we’re going to bemoan such privilege as somehow unfair to those we choose not to associate with, the only practical remedy is removing consent from relationships.

And this is the point where things get interesting, as one group of campus radicals insists on such things as Yes Means Yes consent rules where you pretty much have to ask permission not only for sex but every step along the way (can I kiss your neck? can I touch your right boob? what about the left one? can I kiss your neck again? etc.) while another group wants to eliminate consent, or at least make it so you can’t not consent to their sexual advances even if they can refuse yours.

Some nutjobs even call it “reverse rape” as in this piece from Thought Catalog that we hope is satire:

That’s as much a Patriarchal power move as rape—in fact, it is rape. Denying a woman sexual fulfillment is rape. He didn’t force me to have sex with him, but he forced me not to have sex with him when I really wanted to—this is obviously just as bad.

…except we’ve seen screencaps from Tumblr expressing the same sentiments that sure didn’t seem to be kidding.

Consent for me but not for thee. The battle of the activists is starting to get entertaining, better make some popcorn.

Transgendered is so last month, now all the cool kids are trans-aged. Here’s Steven Crowder’s take:

So a 52-year-old transgender man decides to abandon his family to live the life of a 6-year-old girl. Leftism demands we accept this as normal, but just how normal is it really?

The idea that the vastly imperfect governments of this world, who between them cannot guarantee anything six months out, can speak with serene confidence on the Whole Atmosphere of our Great Dynamic Planet nearly 100 years from now? As long as the faith holds, there is no call for certainties.

The Petition to ban Donald Trump from the U.K reaches 400,000. Just how do you justify trying to ban Donald Trump when Islamist hate preachers are allowed to go about their work unhindered?

Islam is not a religion of peace. Anyone who still claims this in 2015 is either stupid or lying.

Have you been criticized for having something adverse to say about a candidate, particularly of your own “Party?” Told you are somewhere along the lines of “ill-mannered,” “negative” or “grumpy?” Slapped on the wrist for your supposed “political incorrectness?”

I am a Democrat. I am a woman. And I have profound concerns about Hillary Clinton.

Some liberty proponents are more than happy to believe in particular mainstream dynamics. They are happy to believe, for example, that the growing “conflict” between the East and West is legitimate rather than engineered.
