Rogue One an SJW story

I'm a girl, so I'm automatically good at everything and like super brave, unlike those icky boys. 


So the writers of the new Star Wars movie would like us to know that they few the Star Wars universe as the rebel alliance being a multi-cultural society, led by brave women, fighting a white supremacist empire.

Look at me, I walk like a guy, but I'm more badass cause I don't have a penis.


Great, popular entertainment is now a women/genders studies course, sounds like fun doesn't it? What would be social engineers in Hollywood don't realize is biological reality is hard to overcome. Some women today might like to see portrayals of how they too can join in the adventurous fun, but not at the expense of denigrating men (okay in this instance it's just white men) most women want a man to be a man when it comes right down to it, not a apologizing simply for existing beta male.

I'm a man, but it's okay, I'm not white, so you can still root for me.

Look, I'm as opened minded as anyone, I'm not saying gender, sexual orientation, race, creed, colour or anything else under the protected class umbrella, is incapable of being adventurous and heroic. We've had resourceful brave women in movies for decades (Ripley anyone? And no that's not the only example, but I'm not going to list them) however, two Star Wars movies in a row with the same female character (basically) is a bit much. Then add in making the leaders of the rebellion women and you've lost me, and about 90 percent of your audience.
Women might like the idea of being portrayed as adventurous, but it's not in their DNA, fighting, leading, heroism are part of a boys DNA, but the Star Wars narrative wants to tell boys they're not very good at all that, leave it to the girls.

Oh oh, white male alert!


Remember that biological reality? Girls don't dream about fighting empires, you can have as many heroic portrayals of 120 lb women in popular culture wiping out 6'2 220 lb men, and they might get a kick out of it, but they're never going to actually fight anyone. Boys play fight constantly and real fight occasionally, that's part of being a boy (it's not toxic, it's just being male).
Women (for the most part) also don't lead. Certainly some can and do, and their are heroic female leaders, but they are rare. There's a reason why women, despite all of the endless encouragement and in the case of Canada (quotas) largely don't go into politics, leading and confrontation is not appealing to them. But intelligent young men, who do aspire to work for society, to butt heads in the name of their ideology and champion their ideas, are being turned away, and discouraged before they get out of the gate, cause, it's 2016, and we don't need more men (and God forbid, white men).
With that said,  if you now want to spend $15 to get yet another lecture on how horrible men are, then you're beyond hope. Sure, the special effects are great, and they are some good battle scenes, but what's there to relate to? This film tells you you're evil.
A rebellion actually run by women would never defeat the Empire, since risk taking, as anyone outside of a women's studies course will tell you is not a female trait. So if you must see Rogue One, I suppose you could view it as an unintentional comedy, but is that really worth it?

Time Magazine Goes Full SJW

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wVagQ_LVd4 There was a very funny (and very politically incorrect) line in the Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr. movie Tropical Thunder, when Downey's character (who had turned himself black to get a role) advises Stiller, "Never go full retard." I bring it up because recently Time Magazine published an oped blaming Hillary's FBI investigation on, that's right, sexism. This would be a good example of going full SJW (which is remarkably similar to going full retard, in case you missed the connection). Most left wing publications like the NY Times, USA Today, etc. Try to avoid full on SJW (Social Justice Warrior) ranting, and couch their left/liberal bias in more subtle opinion pieces and skewed reporting. But Time maintains Hillary's woes are entirely due to her sex, because the media wouldn't be bothered with a presidential candidate being investigated by the FBI (twice) if she was male. Uh, gee Time, have you ever ...

Top Ten Trump Myths

THE UNTOLD STORY Top 10 Trump Myths by Gavin McInnes   January 12, 2017 View as Single Page photo credit: Big stock Fake news site Buzzfeed just  published  a fake news story that is so fake, it’s not even fake news. “It’s just fake,” as Kellyanne Conway  put it . The editor of Buzzfeed himself says he  has  “serious reason to doubt the allegations in it,” but he published it anyway because this is “how we see the job of reporters in 2017.” So, the role of reporters is to just barf out whatever anyone throws at them? The dossier implicates the president-elect in everything from being a stooge for the Russian government to demanding women  pee  on him. It’s written like a prank from our side to lampoon how gullible and biased their side is. It’s also a good jumping-off point to discuss 10 other myths about our next president.  (1) TRUMP IS AN ADMITTED SEXUAL PREDATOR Jesus LORD in heaven above am I sick of talking a...

The War on Free Speech

THE UNTOLD STORY The War on Free Speech 2017 by Gavin McInnes   January 05, 2017 View as Single Page photo credit: Wikimedia Commons Milos Yiannopoulos “The guy has freedom of speech but to fund him & give him a platform tells me a LOT about  @simonschuster  YUCK AND BOO AND GROSS,”  declared  Sarah Silverman when she discovered Milo Yiannopoulos had just closed a  book deal  for a quarter million dollars. Fellow feminist Judd Apatow was equally disheartened and  added , “we can not let hatemongers get rich off of their cruelty.” The left hates Milo not because he is racist or homophobic (he’s a gay man who fucks blacks) or a woman-hater or a fat-shamer or any other histrionic hyperbole; they hate him because he ridicules their belief system. This is especially evident when you touch their Virgin Mary, the black woman.  As I’ve discussed  before , liberals are obsessed with black women. White men will mo...
