4 thoughts on “Bettina Arndt on the Politics of Cleavage”
Loved the video clip in the middle. The yoga man. She puts her wares on display to hook the guy, then smacks the guy for looking and finally has him on her leash. Sucker. Glad I’m not tit man.
Another photo in Arndt’s video shows an obese woman with ‘Still not asking for it’ written on her naked back. I thought ‘Ye, and you ain’t getting it!” That’s her problem. She ain’t getting it.
That’s why women put themselves on display. Because they ain’t getting it. Either because they are physically ugly or have ugly personalities. The yoga man should have said his peace, then declined the invitation. Instead he sucked up.
‘In Australia, Michael Flood is the prime example of this toadying species‘
I have a suspicion that manginas worldwide will start to disappear, or at least to shut up and keep their heads down, as more and more women follow Bettina’s example and describe males like Flood as they really are: a subspecies of toad.
Of course the obvious thing to do would be to look at why boys are so much less emotionally fragile than girls, we might learn something helpful to building up female emotional resilience to anxiety and depression.! But of course probably the result will be more “help” for Girls (which will probably feed feelings of anxiety and inadequacy).
And as Ms Ardnt has pointed out it would be really simple for “women” to mould men’s behaviour to be “new men” as they birth, nurse and teach males in their formative years and young men are easily persuaded into behaving in ways that attract girlfriends. Frankly simple by being “ladies” they would find gentlemen created in droves.
I’d have been, what, about 15?
And the year was 19… well, never mind that bit.
Walking past a group of girls who were clearly delighted to have discovered the sexual toy / weapon, one of them began what she fondly imagined I would find to be her irresistable erotic hip movements.
Now, I knew next to nothing about girls having neither sisters nor female class mates – my school was single sex, and better for it.
Nevertheless I instinctively recognised the attempted manipulation for the power play it was and, keeping my eyes ahead, ignored them as though they were not there.
That was my first of only a limited number of brushes with the un-fair sex and, perhaps in some ways the most satisfactory, employing as it did the technique that was to serve me well on more than one or two occasions over the coming decades.
Justice for Men & Boys

Its so ridiculous that such a video is made. Just because even a few moments thought should render Ardnt’s arguments redundant. Yet it is necessary.
The single focus on females skews everything.
