U Not Gonna Like This

Norway's crazy leftist government is threating to close businesses that still don't meet their gender quota for hiring more women on January 1st, 2008. Here's the rest of the story:

Companies organized as "ASA" corporations are required to meet a state-mandated quota that calls for 40 percent of their directors to be women.

The quota was ushered in during the previous center-right government coalition, and has been enthusiastically embraced by the current Labour Party-led government.

Equality minister Karita Bekkemellem told newspaper Aftenposten on Friday that those companies failing to meet the quota will face involuntary dissolution from January 1. Many are within traditionally male-oriented branches like the offshore oil industry, shipping and finance.

"My advice to them is that they take responsibility and find the women they need," she said. She called the law "historic and radical," and said it will be enforced.

It's highly likely since oil is hovering around the $90 mark. Consider getting yourself an electric vehicle.

The price as of right now is either $87 or $88 a barrel.

I found this nice little tidbit while surfing Mens News Daily. It's a story for the AP on Duke's continuing legal saga. This time it's their former Lacrosse coach that's...Well I let you read it..

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - The former Duke University men's lacrosse coach who resigned last year amid allegations that three of his players raped a stripper has sued the university.

Mike Pressler's lawsuit apparently stems from a financial settlement the school reached earlier this year with him, although school officials did not give details Friday. The players were later cleared of the charges.

The Herald-Sun of Durham reported Friday on its Web site that his lawsuit alleges the university broke the terms of the confidential settlement when university senior vice president John Burness made disparaging comments about him.

Okay. I'm going to change the template now. If you see the site disappear or any error messages it means I'm in the process of trying to update the site. Hopefully it will work correctly after I'm done.

Sobering stats from Numbers USA:

Background: Some Americans and lawmakers make the common error to think that unemployment figures measure people without jobs. Rather, they measure only those people who are actively looking for jobs and have signed up with government unemployment agencies. The potential labor pool is far larger than the government reports because so many people are not in the labor market at all for the following reasons:

they were laid off and ran out of unemployment benefits;

they stopped work because of illness, injury, pregnancy and they didn't have enough incentive to look for a job or the jobs weren't attractive enough;

they failed to find a job for so long that they gave up; or

they are disabled (the vast majority of disabled American cannot get a job)


also on the sidebar of this page are the following stats:

14 million Americans are unable to find full-time jobs in the current economy. —

There are 55,436,000 million Americans, ages 16-64, who are not in the labor force.
— U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Labor Force Statistics from the Current Population Survey; July, 2007 BLS

Forty percent of working-age African-American men are unemployed.
— BLS

Mind you these are just the numbers from the people that bother to register with the feds. (So it's much higher than that.)

and just a bit more from the bottom of the page:

There is some direct evidence that immigration has harmed less-educated natives; states with the largest increase in immigrants also saw larger declines in natives working; and in occupational categories that received the most new immigrants, native unemployment averages 10 percent.

Some of the occupations most impacted by immigration include maids, construction laborers, dishwashers, janitors, painters, cabbies, grounds keepers, and meat/poultry workers. The overwhelming majority of workers in these occupations are native-born.

It's a damn shame but yet it will continue as long as people keep putting the same clowns in office year after year..

Soon I will be doing a little updating of the web log and house cleaning but not
of the post. Those will stay. Until tomorrow night..

This post from the archives of Pooks Mill:

Here is a fantastic article Newsweek did on the 'marriage crunch' way back in 1986. The article is full of great quotes and really reveals how some women think (such as one women deciding to buy a house instead of getting a husband to do it. So that is the purpose of husbands is to turn them into a house?). It also shows many women's panic over this article back then.


And on the MSNBC Site:

It was Valentine's Day when Sharon Makover learned of it on the news, and the irony did not elude her. "I thought, 'This is not what I want to be hearing today"." Having recently split up with one boyfriend, Makover was at a crossroads: should she throw herself into her career or commit to a new boyfriend living in another country? "It got me thinking about what I wanted to do with my life," says Makover, 26, a curatorial assistant at the Jewish Museum in New York. A month later she was engaged.

All things being equal, Los Angeles screenwriter Nancy Rigg would prefer having a husband. Nevertheless, the news infuriated her. "It reinforces an old myth that once you hit 30, you're over the hill," says Rigg, 36. "I imagine that women who are buying into this are pretty depressed right now. It was like Moses came down the mountain and said, 'Boo on you women"."

If you don't think men are targets of persecution in the United States, get a look at this:

Here's the link: Man Arrested After Telling Women They Were 'Extremely Beautiful'

Here's the story:

DENVER, CO -- A man who told two women they were extremely beautiful was arrested on charges of harassment last week, Denver police said. Police said 32-year-old Jeff John Hergert approached the women and "expressed interest in them." He told each woman in two separate incidents that they were extremely beautiful and that they should consider modeling. Hergert was arrested and is being held on two counts of harassment. He is being held on a $10,000 bond.

For those of you reading this blog that have not been following events in the men's issues blogosphere several men friendly to the cause have been trying to get an entry posted to Wikipedia on Men Going Their Own Way. However, at each and every turn an administrator at Wikipedia has blocked efforts made by anyone to add our own terminology to thier site. Here's the story from Male Samizdat (link):


Wikipedia Going The Feminist Way


Posted: July 6th, 2007, 12:06am PDT by Male Samizdat

Here is the original call to battle by Fred X.

So much for Wikipedia's much-vaunted "NPOV" (neutral point of view) policy. It turns out Wikipedia actually has a "FPOV" (feminazi point of view) policy.

If you haven't heard yet, the article "MGTOW" (Men Going Their Own Way) has been repeatedly entered by men's rights advocates, and then deleted by feminazis and/or their mangina accomplices

For those who are new to this, MGTOW is the leaderless, distributed movement of men who are, each on their own, boycotting the poisonous, ubiquitous matriarchal culture. This is done mostly by refusing to socialize with Western skanks, but also by doing things like not engaging in the corporate rat race, not watching the vileness that is television and otherwise avoiding the mainstream media.

Apparently, someone is threatened by MGTOW. Might it be that feminists are afraid men will wake up and challenge their cultural and institutional hegemony? We all know what the effects of that have been - absolute cultural and social devastation. The truth is, however, feminist domination can only work as long as men consent to be co-opted by the fematrix.

The question is: will you allow yourself to be enslaved for the sake of the faint promise of occasional sex? If the answer is no, then you have taken the most important step in throwing off matriarchy.

The effort to get Wikipedia to reverse its decision is important. However, new men's rights blogs keep popping up. Wikipedia can keep us out of their world, but they can't shut us up.

Male Samizdat's view on the Marriage Strike (link):




An Epidemiological View of the Marriage Strike


Posted: May 29th, 2007, 7:00am PDT by Male Samizdat





I would like to take a slightly different view of the marriage strike - a epidemiological one.




In the past, one of the best tools public health officials had to combat the spread of disease was the quarantine. Keep people from mutual contact, and those dirty little germs couldn't propagate.





The two fuels that power the feminist machine are men's money and men's genes. Deny them both, and you can eventually get feminism to die down.





Like all parasites, feminists need a host to thrive. The marriage strike, in effect, quarantines feminists so they cannot propagate through the male population.





Epidemiology is the study of disease in populations, and can be used to analyze feminism with respect to marriage. The epidemiologic triangle is agent, environment, and host. Remove any one of the three and you can stop the spread of the disease. (In this it is similar to the fire triangle of fuel, oxygen, and heat)






The agent is the Western Woman (more specifically, her feminist ideas)





The environment is the popular culture and its accomplices




The host is the American man (not metrosexuals or gays - they are part of the environment)





We cannot directly affect, in this case, agent or environment...but we can remove the host (ourselves) from this travesty of culture disease. Through the marriage strike, we remove ourselves from the agent and the environment, and thus quarantine the agent - the American Woman - until she is free of the disease (changes her views on men) or, in a sociological sense, "dies" (that is, fails to marry and fails to have children). The corollary to this, men, is that we cannot be marrying western women (duh!),. sleeping around, or donating to sperm banks. To paraphrase Duncan Idaho's masthead on Eternal Bachelor, "Give modern women the children they deserve: none."





In public health, dwellings that are hazardous to human health are marked "unfit for human habitation". We might now say that "American women are unfit for human cohabitation".
