Comments to Steve Sailer<\/a>:<\/p>\n

* I\u2019m surprised to see so many HBD types saying \u201cgender\u201d without irony when they mean sex. It was originally a grammatical term. The gender of a noun doesn\u2019t always correspond to the sex of what it designates. If you\u2019re learning German, you\u2019d better not assume that M\u00e4dchen is feminine because it means girl. I\u2019m sure it was because of this that feminists substituted gender for sex \u2013 it emphasises the concept of sex as something that\u2019s fluid or arbitrarily assigned.<\/p>\n

* \u201cWell-behaved women rarely make history.\u201d Because historians and other moderns are prejudiced against them. Exhibit A: these women.<\/p>\n

Phyllis Schlafly probably had more of an effect on 20th-century America than any other woman, including Eleanor Roosevelt and Hillary Clinton\u2013 pushing the Goldwater nomination, which birthed the revival of the right; blocking a constitutional amendment three states from ratification; bringing both movements together for the GOP\u2019s Reagan revolution. But she still only has one biography.<\/p>\n

Check out Bill Kauffman\u2019s sympathetic treatment of the antisuffragists in With Good Intentions.<\/p>\n

Or do a comparison of the treatment of contemporaries Anne Hutchinson and Deborah Moody. Deborah who?, you ask. Precisely the point.<\/p>\n

* I\u2019m relieved to see a party for women at last. Now we can expect them to sweep into power on a promise of stopping the importation of millions of backward Muslim misogynists, and the dismissal and prosecution of every last public employee in places like Rotherham who turned a blind eye to the Pakistani rape epidemic. You want women to have an equal start in life \u2013 how about not being raped before you\u2019re thirteen?<\/p>\n

* >Here’s a clip from QI<\/a> with Sandi Toksvig discussing whether women are funny*. Jack Dee delivers quite a zinger if you can hang in there till the end.<\/p>\n

* Getting OT, but I’d be remiss not to include a link to Christopher Hitchens sharing his thoughts<\/a> on this topic as well.<\/p>\n

* Sandi Toksvig \u2013 a tubby, leftist, ugly bulldyke is propagating the latest CM misandric abuse. Well I\u2019m shocked, shocked, SHOCKED!!!<\/p>\n

* Usual suspects; kosher and\/or queer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
