In the past two weeks or so, there has been a burst of interest in the divide between Leftist females and — although hardly conservative — a lot Less Leftist males. In Poland: Scott Adams (the Dilbert guy) opined: “Peachy Keenan,” who had a pretty good book recently, recalls her own Libtard Era: In otherContinue reading “Women Are Lost Without Male Guidance”

Low Fertility in “Traditional” Societies
Although we generally attribute low birth rates in the US to “degeneracy,” birth rates are even lower among those Asian societies that are more “traditional” in character. Also, the divorce laws, and other such factors, are different than in the US, and generally more family-friendly. What’s going on? The first, and obvious, thing is thatContinue reading “Low Fertility in “Traditional” Societies”
Teen Birth Rate Crashing
This is mostly a good thing, since not many of these teens are married. Note the peak in teen births in the 1950s. The 1950s were about the best time, in terms of moral tone, in living memory, but already there had been a long deterioration from the way things were around 1900. The differenceContinue reading “Teen Birth Rate Crashing”
Women Opposed to Women’s Suffrage
Has anything positive been achieved by allowing women to vote? By all indicators, the result has been worse, not better.

Like him, I conclude that we will need to form a new “Home and Family Tribe,” which will largely take the form of religion. There is no particular need for a newContinue reading “Jim on Marriage”
The Kids Are Alright
Despite the general tone of degeneracy, the reality is that young people today are engaging in less “high risk” activity than in any time in recent memory. You might call it a “regeneracy,” although it is rather disorganized, and mostly consists of people stumbling around doing nothing because they don’t like what’s on offer much.Continue reading “The Kids Are Alright”
Make Women Property Again
“Jim’s Blog” has a lot of provocative material that is, actually, hard to argue against. Here he says that we should “make women property again.” Of course we don’t mean negro slaves. That never happened in the past. The Bennet Sisters of Pride and Prejudice were very well taken care of, by their fathers andContinue reading “Make Women Property Again”
