We are told men and women are equal. This is not only preposterous, but obviously preposterous. Yet we pretend otherwise, for the sake of social conformity – which is becoming not merely a matter of general Babbittry but essential to obtaining and retaining employment.
The nation – the nation’s men – must keep their heads down and mumble the required pieties.
But unequal is not the same as better – and worse. Which is the duality Feminism wishes to impute to the term, because it encourages women to to feel victimized – and men to feel guilty.
There’s power to be mined. And misery to be imposed.
Men and women are different – and that is a form of inequality, certainly. But it is not a pernicious one, unless one takes the view that nature should have made us all identical (and so literally equal) which would be exceptionally boring.
A human ant hill would be the result – which is actually desired in certain ugly corners of the postmodern world. But not by psychologically normal people, or those who aspire to it.
The differences between the sexes are what makes it all so interesting – for both sexes.
Men, for one, cannot have children and so obtain meaning in caring for those who can have them – women. And in the work which makes this possible. For which we are better adapted by nature than women.
Example: I’m middle-aged and no longer in my prime but I can still cut and split four cords of wood for heating the house in winter. How many women at the peak of their physical power could do the same? Could cut/split a single cord?
I doubt one out of 100, if that many. Even at 25.
Most 45-year-old men can – or at least could.
It’s just one example, but makes the point.
Male bodies are built stronger, can take more physical damage. Bear more burdens. Not politically correct, but fact regardless.
No man, however, can bear a child. Only women can do that. It is nothing less than a miracle – and it is also what defines a woman relative to a man. She is the bearer of life, of the continuity of humanity.
The man, at most, can protect and provide.
Men and women are not equal because they are not the same – and thank god for it!
The fatuity that they are essentially interchangeable “genders” and “equal” in terms of capacities must be thrown in the Woods, as a first step. They are no more equal – that is to say, no more the same – as an oak tree and a pine tree, though both are trees and each have their respective strengths and weaknesses.
A man is generally, inherently superior in some ways – just as a woman is generally, inherently superior in other ways.
They differ in terms of inclinations and temperament as well as physicality. Women tend to be more risk-averse by nature, which is entirely natural given their physical weakness and vulnerability relative to men; this manifests, positively, in caution and protectiveness and solicitude toward children – a valuable trait and counter to the risk-taking tendencies of men, which are also good and sex-specific.
Together, the two balance each other – creating a whole that is stronger and better than each on its own.
Men need women for balance as much as women need men for it.
And kids need that, too. A man to encourage independent action (which is a form of risk-taking) and a woman to encourage appropriate caution.
Without one – or the other – you end up with imbalances.
What do most men want from a woman? Let’s be blunt. They want female softness. Not just sex, though that is a big component of it. But fundamentally, they want the things which make a woman not a man – and which other men cannot provide.
Just as a woman – most women – naturally want a man who is not a woman who happens to have male equipment.
Feminism has largely destroyed this natural interplay between the sexes, by programming women to emulate male roles and attitudes such that men increasingly find such women less and less appealing – at least as potential wives and mothers. I italicize to make the politically incorrect point. Men want wives – and mothers for their kids. Not “partners” – a business term, which is precisely what feminism has turned marriage into.
Meanwhile, feminism has also made it easy for men to get sex whenever they want it – without commitment. And so, they do get it. This isn’t just the “milk and cow” line; it’s much deeper than that. Men shy away from marriage and commitment in the postmodern world because feminism has made it unappealing and dangerous – financially and emotionally.
But because they can easily get sex without the rest, they do.
Men get the better of this deal because – again – men and women are different.
A woman’s initial appeal to a man is her youthful appearance and implied ability to have children. As she ages, she becomes less initially desirable – and thus most men will focus on her younger rivals.
After 40, a single woman’s “partnering” options are (in most cases) hugely limited vs. what they were when she was 30 or 25.
By 50 she is effectively off the market – in the “Whoohoo!” (discounted/day-old ) bakery bin.
But a man in his 40s or 50s can still select from an almost endless menu of much younger women – because a man in his 40s or 50s is just as capable of fathering children as he was in his 20s and probably more capable of protecting and providing for them, which makes his appealing to women younger than himself.
Men will go for younger women for the same reason that anyone who doesn’t have to shop at Goodwill won’t. A man in his 40s or 50s will stick with the same-age woman he married when he was in his 20s or 30s. But if she leaves him, he’s not likely going to date a same-age woman if he can get a much younger one.
Because he doesn’t have to. Because he hasn’t got 20 years’ investment in the hypothetical same-age woman and thus, no counter to ameliorate the biological facts of age on women – and the freedom to avoid them.
This of course drives the older women who bought into the Feminist lie to spittle-spewing fury – but what did they think would happen? Feminism has pathologized normal sex differences – and appeal. It’s not good for men, but it’s worse for women.
Biologically, financially, physically.
All of the above is obvious – yet it’s been stuffed under the politically correct throw rug and everyone’s supposed to pretend they don’t see the lump.
But we trip over it, regardless.

Boy….the utter HYPOCRISY of the media and the Sillycone Valley technocrats and liberals!
You can promote the homo agenda on Youtube, and no dissent nor criticism is allowed…..and yet Youtube has removed virtually MGTOW channels, or hidden/refuses to promote the few heavily censored ones which remain. Imagine if they did that to the fags?!
The mainstreasm medias and academia and “scientific” community are also condemning MGTOWism, because “It would result in the extinction of humanity, since it does not perpetuate procreation”. Hmmmm….how come they have never made that observation about homosexusality or abortion??? Imagine the outcry there would be if they did?!
You know you’re onto something good, and taking the path that bypasses tyranny, when the world opposes you. Most of us here seem to have many of these things figured out, as they relate to many spheres of life…therefore, we are opposed and discriminated against on many levels- but since our actions and choices aren’t the result of someone’s grand agenda to effect social engineering; and since our ways promote liberty, individualism and truth- as opposed to control and deception….the bleeding hearts don’t stand up for us- instead, they hate us, because we do not fit their plan.
They still need to productive men to make their system go. That’s why walking away is shamed. But they have reshaped society such that many productive men are denied reproduction anyway. Western society was set up in such a way that it incentivized men to be productive. Then someone figured men’s desire for sex and reproduction was infinite and started changing things accordingly. But it’s not and their system can’t function past a certain point, and they’ve crossed it. They don’t dare go back, but now it’s just a matter of time as the illusion of the past falls away. Human society will revert to the mean.
Hi Brent,
Had a very interesting convo recently with a woman I have been seeing off and on – very casually (as far as I am concerned).
She said: I hate feminists. I hate what they have done to men.
This came out of the blue.
So I probed a little. She said (not to toot my own horn overmuch): You are a great guy, but you don’t want to commit to anyone.
I replied – honestly – that this was true. That I touched the stove once and have no plans to do it again. That I am fine – happy – being able to hit the sofa, BLT on my lap, a good book in my hands… and eat and read until I am sleepy and then just go to sleep. In my house. Without worrying anymore about whether a woman feels happy about things anymore. If she makes me happy, right now, she can stay awhile. But the moment she decides she is happy no more, there’s the door.
It’s sad, for both. But it’s worse for them.
Men age like Sean Connery. Women also age like Sean Connery..
I do not know if I am lucky or cursed. But I got very early lessons from women that protected me at various instances.
As to your story, mine’s a little a different. A woman after she broke up with me, lamented about how I had made her a better person by example.
I have no desire to be a woman’s employee, which is what feminism has demanded men be. After awhile dates that were essentially job interviews got tiresome.
Morning, Brent!
I’ve read that about 70 percent of all divorces are initiated by women. I’ve thought a lot about my own divorce, as well as the divorces of several friends of mine. The evidence/consensus suggest that most men will stick with a marriage, even if it’s not “happy” at the moment – with the idea being that, given time and work it will be again. Passion cools, inevitably. But friendship and respect and years of shared experiences cements a deeper connection, or ought to.
Women leave when they are no longer “happy.”
Are encouraged to think that unless they feel “butterflies and rose petals,” as when first dating, that it’s time to move on.
Which is hugely scary to any man who considers a commitment such as marriage something that ought to be worth preserving even when one/both parties aren’t “happy” at the moment.
Most men – me, at least – would never have considered marriage let alone done it had we any inkling that it would last only so long as the woman felt “happy.”
We assumed – hell, the words were said – that marriage was for better and worse, good times and bad.
That we were in it together, period – come what may.
Otherwise, why bother with it?
So, now I am single again and have had two women express their disappointment that I’m not willing to “open up” and “share” with them. They actually wonder why a man whose wife decided to end a marriage because she was not “happy” now (but had been very happy once) might be a little leery of ever making any kind of commitment to any woman ever again.
eric, if you’d just open up they could “help”. They could interpret every word you say as something else, your substitute story for “the truth”. It’s the inversion of “this”.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBBw1MEOMWI
Eric, their inability to consider, let alone understand one’s healthy fear of commitment in this unhealthy environment, just proves their unsuitability- for it shows that they do not even think on that level- i.e. about the ultimacy of vows; the meaning of commitment, and it’s emotional consequences, etc.
No. It shows that they are just playing the part; assuming the role. “It’s what everyone does”. “It goes with the territory”. “It’s part of the game”- and when it no longer suits them to play that game……they can just pack up and move on….and to Hell with you- they no longer care; so you are no longer relevant nor of concern; the state has empowered them to do whatever they want….to be able to break their vows. They can break their vows….but it’s your life that will be ruined. We, the men, are always the bad guys; we are always held responsible. We are at their mercy if we play their game….but they can’t even fathom why we would find this objectionable; they don’t even think about it; there is no problem to them, because they are free to do as they please with no consequence- and conversely, often with great reward.
They don’t see a problem. We are the insensitive ones….
Women seem to operate on their own risk/reward calculations just fine. Feminism acts to reduce their risks and increase their rewards while reducing their responsibility. Behavior has changed accordingly. Women’s choices in men have changed accordingly.
Many/most humans cannot put themselves in the position of another. That’s all it is. It’s difficult for a person with no risk to understand that the risk didn’t go away, but was put on the other party. Thus it is assumed the other party also has no risk. Now couple that with nobody cares about the risk level men have to face. Men are just cowards or whatever if they don’t take on the risk, even if its irrational and very high.
So it’s not that women can’t calculate risk/reward, most of them simply do not care what the equation is for men.
Exactly, Brent. They can’t empathize, because they simply don’t care. A man is just a means to an end, to them- and when one no longer suits their needs or wants, they are simply jettisoned, and counted as an enemy or a discarded shoe- no empathy, because they don’t love ’em; they just play a part in order to have requisite accoutrements that one is expected to have “to be happy”. (Oh, it’s always about being happy! That is man’s new reason for being- just to make a woman “happy”)
My mother starts off a conversation the other day by saying “If you ever get married…”
I say: “Don’t worry, I am NOT ever getting married!”
She says some stuff…
Me: “Getting married! I’d rather have my teeth pulled than even go on a date- marriage would be like a never-ending date!”. (Then I bring up how utterly ridiculous it would be for someone to marry in their late 50’s….much less an Anarchist Torah-observant Christian Loner with extremely fussy tastes in women’s physical appearance! -Citing the example of how I even turned down my “last chance” a couple of years ago, at an interested hot 23 year-old- and the utter futility and foolishness it would have been to pursue such an opportunity even had I wanted to!)
That’s a keeper! Probably the best advice I’ve heard in a dog’s age. Too late for me, but you younger guys should take heed. Never-ending date? It’s more like a boot stamping on a human face, forever.
See that pretty gal you want to plant a ring on, well…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F4qzPbcFiA
…Take evasive action!!
I heard it said that men age like wine, while women age like milk.
” I hate feminists. I hate what they have done to men.”
This one might be a keeper.
Hi Nunz,
What’s needed is for a Libertarian with deep pockets to step up – and provide an alternative to YouTube (et al) and for people who value free speech and free thought generally to support such alternatives. The left – and the right – have such support, which is why their voices carry louder and farther.
It is depressing.
Go to the Natural News site run by Mike Adams. He has set up the Brighteon channel for just such people as us Eric.

This site is also good for people into natural health and not the ill health promoted by the extinction giants engaged in pharmaceutical mass murder and injury.
I must’ve angered the Google gods….. Suddenly, my AdBlock isn’t working on Youtube- getting commercials and static ads in the viewing frame…. Buh-bye Youtube! (First they remove half of the content that I want to see; nowe ads? Why would anyone tolerate this? Funny- I just got a new ‘puter a few weeks ago, and I said that it well may be my last- as by the time it’s old- which usually means 12 years for me- the interwebz will likely no longer be viable for me- if I’m even living in a place that has internet access or electricity by then. Well…looks like that day is coming sooner than expected, as Youtube was my last “mainstream” internet attraction.)
What’s up with Vimeo these days? I was sure they were gonna be the next contender.
Freakin’ people…..8. Everyone has to use Google/Youtube/Facebook….and everything else dies.
Whelp, I installed a different ad blocker, and this one is still working on Jewtube…
Searched for some MGTOW stuff for the heil of it The good suff is MIA….but crap like this is there:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4nsyH7BkuQ
Listen to this asshole- Tom [Don’t]Leykis- Just listen to how he handles this female caller from 9:45 to 16:00- what an ass!
Apparently, the only MGTOW content they keep, is controlled opposition that makes MGTOW/men look bad… 🙁 I’ll take the woman’s side in this one!
Getting to be no different than TV….
Sorry that I’m late to the discussion.
Like ((marxism)), ((critical race “theory”)), ((Freudian)) psychology, ((Keynesian)) economics, ((Rothschild))-dominated central banking, Israel-first foreign policy, ((Frankfort School)) sociology, ((Boaz)) school anthropology, endless ((neo-conservative)) wars abroad, anitfa street violence, black-lives-matter, ubiquitous pro-miscegenation images in corporate advertising, anti-White historical narratives in academia, anti-White male employment practices – the mid-20th century feminist movement, founded exclusively by radical ((activists)) like ((Gloria Steinem)) and ((Betty Friedan)) and funded by anti-American oligarchs like the Rockefellers, is just another tentacle of the vampire squid sucking the life-blood from Western / European culture. Among Its various objectives was: to pull women into the work force, thereby doubling the taxable income base for servicing the ever mounting usurious debt and subsequently enslaving us to the fiat money system; to draw children into the clutches of mandatory government schools for indoctrination at earlier and earlier ages; and to emasculate White men economically and spiritually, thereby isolating children from their fathers, fracturing the White family, and advancing the NWO collectivist project toward ((global hegemony.))
NB: Aware of the ever tightening noose of censorship and threat of de-platforming on the net..those who know whom you cannot criticize, also know that the use of (( )) is code for the special people.
My 2 bits.
Isn’t the special code supposed to be 3 parens – as in (((Jooooos)))? Or is there another group that the double parens refers to? (Blacks? Puerto Ricans? Indians?) It’s hard to keep up with the special codes used by ((((people with their heads up their butts)))).
***”mong Its various objectives was: to pull women into the work force, thereby doubling the taxable income “***
Mack, that is SO true, and so readily observable that I fail to understand how 99% of the population could not observe the blatant trickery, and have willingly participated in it!
As a typical real-world practical example, I always submit the case of my uncle, who was a mere blue-collar worker living on Long Island in the 70’s. On that single blue-collar income, he had a nice house 60 miles east of NYC; with an extra lot nextdoor, with a barn, where he had a horse for his daughter. He raised 4 kids and had a stay-at-home wife. They bought new cars once in a while, and had a idyllic life.
Today? LOL
Two professionals now live in that house. (It would take more than what my uncle earned in a year just to pay the property taxes)- No lot & barn nextdoor anymore. No horsie. The professional couple living there have one kid.
When I still lived in the area, I’d pass the house frequently at all times of day and night. Never EVER saw any kids playing around the property (as my cousins and I always did)….actually, I never saw anyone, nor any signs of life. Just cars parked at night- and a forsaken house at all other times.
I’m sure that the professional couple who live there now think that they are at the top of the world because they earn several hundred thousand dollars per year- and the wife probably thinks that she has “accomplished something”, and would view my stay-at-home aunt of the 70’s with scorn and contempt- but what do these people have?
A huge income tax and property tax bill.
A lifestyle that affords them less time for leisure, and for raising their one kid than a simple doer of manual labor had a few decades ago.
A kid who has no home life, and whose parents are essentially strangers to him, as he spends his time with strangers.
Only 1 kid vs. 4.
Both parents must work, and had to spend a lot of time and money (more debt) in order to enter fields that would allow them enough income to even live in that house- which is just a meager old house….with some fancy keeping-up-with-the-joneses upgrades.
For all that- 2 people working vs. 1. Professional careers vs. blue-collar work. Time, money and debt invested in years of edumacation…..they do not even have my uncle, and millions of others like him could once easily have.
You mean ((( ))). Three for Shylock..
Or (((( )))). Four for imbeciles who use idiotic codes and have their heads planted far up their rear ends. Example: ((((Jarhead Mike-Foxtrot)))).
Five for…(((((kiss my ass)))))
Six for…((((((up yours)))))).
While I’m so far out of it the only numbers that come to mind, right after I utter a upbeat incantation and blow in my hand, is “sebum come elebum”……come on baby.
Seven for…. uuhhh…..Lemmesee here…(((((((kiss my ass some more)))))))
Or we could use eight for – hmmm, say: Try getting ((((((((your head)))))))) out of ((((((((your)))))))) rectum.
Much more of this and you guys are going to need a Secret Stormfront Decoder Ring to keep track of it all.
You could already use “Eight” for “Damn, I forgot what I was gonna say”.
Good one, Eight! 🙂
I was saving nine, though, for (((((((((dang, I don’t even remember who started using parens as a “code” for fellow bigots because they’re too scared to actually come right out and say what they mean in plain English))))))))).
8 for ((((((((absent minded Texans))))))))
The wife has to go to the doc yesterday so I got an app. and went too. I was gonna make a list, not a long one, but just to make sure I covered everything.
Forgot to make the list so when I spoke to the doc I could only think of one thing, forgetfulness. She said it might be a low thyroid condition so I got some high potency Vit D at the pharmacy. Late in the day I realized it was a prescription for an Albuterol inhaler I needed when my asthma started kicking up.
A couple things I was gonna get in town like an external 12V power socket and a lawn mower battery. Of course I got home with neither.
8, I make a list, then leave it lying when I go to town. Recently I started just emailing myself a list to my phone. ‘Course, then I forget to check it when I’m out. Somebody told me there are 3 symptoms of old age. The first was forgetfulness, and I don’t remember the other two.
I leave the list on the cooktop too often too. And the wife often says to get something else. I just reply, “put it on the list”. If it ain’t on the list, it won’t get got”…..so to speak.
Ten for….. ya GOTTA have a Ringmeat Mongoloid Dickweed in there somewhere!!!!!!
Yes!!! We should not leave anyone out! We need special codes for those targeted by bigots of every stripe!
Of course everyone is bigoted to some extent, it’s human nature – and as a libertarian I support an individual’s right to like or hate anyone, or associate or avoid anyone, for any reason they see fit – as long as it doesn’t rise to actually raising a hand to cause harm against another person.
Since some appear to have a need to use semi-secret codes when referring to the object(s) of their hatred, I’ll come right out and say the words – if you hate kikes, niggers, spics, gooks, mongoloids, the left-handed (now there are some untermenschens!), or whatever – it’s your absolute right to do so but it certainly does detract from one’s claiming to be a libertarian.

(I really do try to keep my dislikes to individuals but it’s tough sometimes. I mean, how can one not have preconceived notions about millenials or the liberal Democrats who pander to them?)
I’m unfairly and inappropriately labeled a “racist” because I’m not too fond of niuggers [Some black folks are O-K, but I freaking hate niggers- as do many black folks…]- I say unfairly and inappropriately, because it has nothing to do with race or skin color; but rather that so many from that culture have displayed violent, destructive, larcenous traits.
I mean, you don’t see any other group of people destroying their own environs and perpetuating an unabashed thug culture openly- so that you can tell immediately when you are in one of their ‘hoods’ even if you never see a single person- just by the deplorable conditions which they create wherever large numbers of them take up residence.
You don’t see Jews or Norwegians or Armenians living in bombed-out neighborhoods and selling drugs on every corner, and brutalizing even the weaker among their own kind for even the most petty things. And the idea that the liberals have instilled in everyone; that using informal diminutives somehow automatically connotes “hate” is absurd.
My mother grew up in the heart of NYC during The Depression- and it was the stereotypical melting pot- she even had a black friend as a little girl. Instead of everyone being offended at everything, everyone used informal terms to refer to other groups- Us Eye-talians were Dagos or Wops; The Irish were Micks; Spanish-speakers were Spics, and cullids were niggers. And people from Asia were Chinks and Jsaps; Chinamen; Orientals, etc. There was nothing prejudicial necessarily about any of these terms (Especially for Chinks- who would have a problem with them?!)
And retards! 🙂 What the hell’s wrong with calling a retard a retard?! Like George Carlin says in his routine ln euphemisms: “Changing the terminology doesn’t change the condition!”. (I don’t think I’ve ever seen a retarded Chink… seriously)
To illustrate how insane the PC BS is, I once defended some Mexicans on a local forum, who had been accused of committing a crime, but which elementary evcidence and logic indicated that they were innocent of- but as I was defending them, I would refer to them as Beaners and such….
Well, you can guess what happened- even though I wass defending them (and I think I was the lone voice doing so) I was taken to task for being a vile “racist” anbd “hater”- even by some of the people who were presuming the Mexicans guilty of the crime just because they were in the area at the time!
This is the absurdity of our time- and a perfect illustration of how people are utterly incapable of thought- but merely reacting as programmed to stimuli.
And why is it, they care if I say I don’t like “blacks”….but if I say I don’t like Greeks…they couldn’t care less?
Now this is the way it should be: Imagine All Italians:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5DzYl9NxiY
When you get down to it, the term “nigger” really describes a state of mind. I have known quite a few whites whose behavior would entitle them to be described as “niggers”, though the usual terminology for such folks is “white trash”.
The problem is really cultural rather than racial, and the destructive ghetto culture we know and “love” today can be traced directly to government policy breaking up black families and establishing a mindset of “gibs me dat!” Why strive to achieve anything if Uncle is just going to give you more $$$ to keep popping out fatherless gang members? It’s a vicious cycle instantiated by leftist feel-good policies.
I think the current climate where the peddlers of victimhood cry out “racist!” or “nazi!” or “fascist!” for using non-approved words is disgusting and repugnant to personal liberty. (Remember Don Imus nearly having his career destroyed by the term “nappy headed”? WTF?) And WTF is this crap about wanting to punish people today (“reparations”) for something that happened centuries ago, all parties involved long dead and buried? I’ve got their reparations right here! (Use your imagination as to where I’m pointing.)
I’m sick of this walking-on-eggs fear of even possibly “offending” somebody. There was a time when humor like the following wouldn’t get you and your career destroyed by an army of braindead, perpetually-offended, self-styled do-gooders:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-4YF7S7rHo&feature=youtu.be&t=54s
“What makes America great? …It’s spics and wops and niggers and kikes with noses as long as your arm! It’s micks and chinks and gooks and geeks – and honkies that never left the farm!”
Hey, I could go for all Italians! Great food! (You know what they say – Italians eat two kinds of things: Everything that moves and everything that doesn’t move. Ciao!)
Well-said, Jason!
Sadly, the ranks of white trash are growing exponentially these days- as the skools propagate liberal fairy tales, and the media glorifies the most uncivilized behavior. I’ve never seen as much white trash as I do lately.
The black culture thing was definitely made much worse by Uncle- but they do seem to be predisposed to that behavior- which is why, in saner times, people tended to avoid/minimalize them.
My cousin went to Kenya for his employer a number of years ago. He was shocked by what he saw. Big fat men laying around, having scads of sprogs with multiple women- whom they can’t and don’t even attempt to support. (Ring any bells?)
But that’s it, exactly- it’s about culture- and the continual observation of certain grouyps of people constantly perpetuating the same behavior. The fact some cultures have physical characteristics which identify them as being associated with a particular culture, is just an identifier. It’s so absurd that liberals have promoted the idea that people don’t like some groups because of the physical traits which make it easy to identify as members of that group- and even more absurd that the vast majority of society would believe that such a premise is a thing!
And what’s all the nonsense these days about people being offended by “stereotypes”? Oh….you can’t even say that a Chinaman might be smart or that a jig might like fried chicken! Somehow, we are supposed to ignore that traits and behaviors we tend to observe over and over again among various groups….
Heck- so I’m a Wop- and I don’t fit many of the stereotypes (but I know plenty who do!)- I’m not Calf-lick; I’m not in the Mafia; and I eat very sparingly (But I do love pasta!)
So am I supposed to get all offended when I hear someone reciting observations which may be true about 95% of other Dagos? And as far as any negative stereotypes- like organized crime and Catholicism, why would I get mad at someone who has observed such traits being practiced by so many other Eye-talians? If I have a beef, shouldn’t it be with the other members of my culture who perpetrate the negative behavior?
In reality though, since I am an individual, and don’t consider myself a cohesive member of any group- especially not just because our ancestors came from the same place,- why should it even matter to me, until and if it is being directed specifically at me? And then in which case, my observed actions would either confirm or deny the validity of the person who is casting the stereotype.
In sum, I think all of this hypersensitvity is just another ploy of the social engineers to keep the majority divided. Divide and conquer; endlessly argue over every little trifling things and be at each other’s throats, and meanwhile the real enemy- Uncle- gains more power and comes out looking like the protector of the very people whom he has enslaved and conquered.
“Take 50% of my income while saying I am free; and tightly regulate every aspect of my life…just so long as you protect me from ever being called nigger or faggot; or from having to hear someone assume that I love fried chicken.,..even though I does!”
And negroes referred to pore white farmers as “po buckra”. Pore white farmers probably didn’t take too much exception to the term, merely wishing they didn’t fit the description.
Trashy whites that act like niggers = wiggers. Wigger gangs are the main source of the crime (burglaries, home invasions, etc.) in my area, not niggers. Niggers just shoot each other and leave their kids in hot cars.
It’s disturbing how their “culture” became mainstream so quickly. We see it in ads (ex: McDonald’s “I’m Lovin’ It” slogan). We see middle to upper class white kids listening to their garbage and even acting like them.
Our Founding Fathers would be absolutely stunned to see how trashy and uncivilized America has become. Including Hamilton.

LOL! (((Jason Flinders))) !!!
LOL! More presumptuous assumptions from ((((JARHEAD Mike-Foxtrot)))) !!!!
Jason Flinders,
“When you get down to it, the term “nigger” really describes a state of mind. I have known quite a few whites whose behavior would entitle them to be described as “niggers”, though the usual terminology for such folks is “white trash”.”
Let me preface my comment by saying that humans use words to communicate. Those who try to ban words are racists. They are against the human race.
That said, I use the word nigger as a badge of honor more than a contemptuous term.
When I lived in Detroit (7 mile & Telegraph) I ended up being the only white boy on my block. We all called each other nigger.
If you were under your car changing a 400 Turbo Hydromatic, I was your nigger.
I’d come over to help and I knew what size wrench to put in your hand when it came out from under the car. You didn’t have to say a word.
In the winter when our moms were putting every pot and pan in the house in the window sills, we were going door to door with a ladder busting holes in the ice dams.
When one of my friends tells me to do something I often ask them “who was your nigger last time?” They reply “you were, because you’re the best nigger I know.”
Even as grown ass men, we still know we’re all uncle’s little niggers.
Most of the time, there was never any pejorative about “nigger” or any other term- they were just informal terms one used to differentiate people- unless used in a different context- which sometimes they were. But the negative context can apply to any term- including the PC ones.
Semantics.
And of course, niggers can say ‘nigger’ but white people can’t…. They legitimize the term by using it and applying it to themselves- but it’s somehow some terrible thing when we use it, and automatically brands us as “racists”.
Detroit is a perfect example of what I was saying earlier, too! Look at what Detroit- and for that matter- what large parts of many big cities look like today- Cleveland; Gary; Flint; Memphis; etc.- and what do you see living there? It’s ALWAYS the same people.
You beat me to it, Nunz. For example the use of the word nigger in “Huckleberry Finn” was not intended as a slur. At the time it was used the same way one might say “black” or even “african-american” (ugh) in more recent times – merely an identifier with no malice behind it.
Fast-forward to today and Huck Finn is being banned in schools. The mind boggles.
(Likewise, stereotypes frequently are just cultural observations. We all know Italians talk with their hands, right? 🙂 )
The old people back home said “nigra”, and that was meant as a polite way of referring to the race of the people they were talking about. It’s just the way they pronounced “negro”.
Ed, remember a while back, some celeb got in trouble for using the word ‘niggardly’- even though it has nothing to do with ‘nigger’!!
Jason, re: a previous post: Yes, I sure do remember the Don Imus thing.
I have some old Howard Stern clips on audio tape from the very early 80’s, when he was on local radio in NY. One day soon, I’m gonna digitize them and put ’em on imgur so any interested parties can listen. They would definitely be considered “raciss”today and get him instantly fired!
One is a skit about Richard Nixon with a butler named (and sounding like) Rochester, from the old Jack Benny show.
One is about Billy Martin (Well, I don’t thinkl that one is unPC)
And one is about Bernard Goetz and his assailants (Google it)…..which I’m sure the PC crowd would freak over!
Hi Nunz!
Stern never apologizes. He tells people to turn the channel. Never, ever apologize. It chums the water.
That’s what my grandmother called them. It was a term gracious southern ladies would use.
The area they lived in had a black neighborhood called “Niggerville”. The sign was removed not very long ago. My father and his brothers used to load a pickup full of watermelons they grew to sell to the “nigras”.
Nun, we have an old movie, a whodunit thriller. It has Rochester playing the part of the chauffeur for a rich guy. There are mysterious disappearances and lots of fear. Rochester makes the whole movie hilarious. The last scene has him scared of something and he gets out of the car and runs. They speed it way up so that he appears to superhumanly haul ass. He was quite literally, the best actor in the entire film. His voice is unique.
Hey, Eric!
Yesiree! Those idiots who apologize seal their own doom. They lose the respect of their fans, for caving in; and the jerks who demand their apology never were or would be fans anyway……
I’m not a Stern fan, since he became big- but I’ll tell ya, back when he was on local radio, in his early days in NY, he was good! Truly the initiator of the genre.
Hell, I can still, to this day, recite the Billy Martin/Howard Cosell skit verbatim- even though it’s about sports personalities!
HAhaha,8! I love Rochester! Jack Benny? Meh…. But Rochester? He was the show!
Of course, the libruls would say that such an image is “raciss”- but they seem to have no problem with the image of a gloating gangster who can not utter an intelligible sentence in English- as is the norm today. No, that stereotype doesn’t seem to bother them- only civility does.
Remember this ‘un?:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rn3t_a18mWU
(Damn! They used to have the entire cartoon- now it’s just a clip. Youtube gets worse and worse…as does Uncle, who assumes the right to define what one may do with the words of others after they have publicly propagated them…)
You know how to silence an Italian, Jason? Cut off his hands!
HAhaha….I DO talk with my hands- so much so, in NY Jews used to come up to me and ask if I was one’a them!
It’s actually quite hilarious how people deliberately ignore the giant black elephant in the room when they debate what went wrong with cities like Detroit and New Orleans.
It truly is both hilarious and sad how self-blinded our society has become, that they can ignore that giant black elephant.
It’s like a Sesame Street game: What Do All Of These Bombed-Out Crime-Ridden Tax-Money Receptacles Democrat-Run Places Have In Common?
Oh…..THAT! The obvious answer that slaps ya in the face and is so obvious a blind man could not miss it….the very same problems that exist everywhere in the civilized world where these people have been imported in any number…..but we can’t say that because the liberals who control the media, academia, and politics of both major parties, insist on denying truth when it conflicts with their fairy tales, propaganda and agenda.
So instead, the white people who provide the money (the current slaves) and whose formerly beautiful citioes were turned into crime-ridden hostile slums whicxh they had to abandon, are blamed for all of the problems- and now their daughters act just like the she-boons; lusting after the worthless hoodlums, and getting a taste of reality, as they see that daddy’s “racist stereotypes” of lying, cheating niggers” were far more accurate than the rainbows painted by their communist teachers and media talking heads- as they then get to go through life with several mulattos in tow, by several different “men”- none of who will support their offspring of bimbos….
But it’s O-K because “they have big dicks”- big, dirty, AIDS and STD-infected dicks, to compensate for their lack of brains and conscience and emotion.
“But it’s O-K because “they have big dicks”- big, dirty, AIDS and STD-infected dicks, to compensate for their lack of brains and conscience and emotion.”
Before the Catholic Church morphed into a communist organization, they said blacks did not have souls.
Damn! Handler! I was gonna post an old video of this BLACK preacher ragging on Obama, and saying how there’s something wrong with black peiople’s minds; and how in areas of Africa where the white man hasn’t intruded, they’re still living in primitive huts, with no glass of screens in the windows, as their niglets die from mosquito and tse-tse fly bites….. But of course, Youtube deleted his account. Only politically-correct negroes are allowed free speech, apparently.
Ha! Someone else up;oaded it! Great stuff:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCu4yV6vgIk
Darn…they cut it off just as it was getting to the best part!
I haven’t seen that one in years! I’m shocked it’s still on Youtube.
Marc Faber said something a year or two ago about how America is fortunate it has a white majority, otherwise it would be another Zimbabwe. Thankfully, he did not apologize. Good man.
This is a good one:

That guy breaks the stereotype- he tells the TRUTH! AHhhhhh!!!! So rare to hear!
Its just cultural marxism. Originated by Jews in the Frankfurt school. Originally bolshevism. that part is undeniable.
Great article Eric and a lot of good comments. I want to say especially Nunzio, but all the comments were spot on.
Thanks for telling the truth Eric! It’s refreshing and unfortunately all too rare nowadays.
Sadly, the truth is unpopular, as is anything that exposes the facade of today’s wealthy elitist trendsetters.
Well written Eric, and so spot on. Ashley Montague (Natural Superiority of women) would be “proud” of you. In fact I think I will be using quite a bit of your essay on people I know who are “feminists”.
We men desire the softness of women also to counteract the hardness of the real world, specifically the raising of money and capital to provide for the family and offspring he wants to bring into the world. And having to do so much of the hard, dangerous, dirty and laborious work that women would never even consider.
Just finished reading a book on the Titanic and its fateful night, the book concentrating on the passengers’ actions. It struck me that so many women, and young women at that, refused to board the lifeboats without their husbands. Imagine that, women so not wanting to live without their husbands that they preferred to die in the cold waters with their husbands and go to the bottom of the ocean 13000 feet below. Would we see women do that today? I think not.
Voices of the Titanic by Geoff Tidballs.
“I swear, a woman’s breast is the hardest rock the Almighty ever made on this earth and I can find no sign on it.” – Bearclaw (Will Geer)
It’s funny- They call it “feminism”, but the resultant product is a total rejection of femininity.
They want to be “equal” to men, but by trying to compete in areas in which they are not naturally suited, they have neglected and rejected the very traits and pursuits in which they could naturally excel, and which made them unique and valuable.
Throughout the vast majority of human history, it used to be that a woman lived with her parents, and was taught by her mother the skills of being a good wife and mother, so that she would be desirable to a man, who would support and protect her and their offspring so that she could thrive in the areas to which nature has made her most suited; and in turn, the man could thrive in his natural areas of ability, having someone at home to care for the home and family while he was doing the heaviy work or engaging in business.
Today, all women have to offer is the vanity of attractiveness and sex- which soon fades. Roles have become reversed, as now men bow before an often worthless woman, pleading with her to marry him.
Finally, men en-mass are starting to realize the absurdity of the situation, and are forgoing the marriage.
What is the point of marriage, if the woman whom you marry is just essentially a fellow wage-earner who just happens to live under your roof? You share expenses; and share chores “equally”- so you really gain nothing compared to living alone; only you give up autonomy and peace and privacy for the “privelege”; and get screwed-over financially when your fellow wage-earner decides to take up residence with someone else.
Many men are complicit in this too, as they have bought into the mentality which has been foisted upon society, so that they even desire a woman who will work outside of the home and “aern her keep”
The childr5en are the innocent victims- having no full-time mother to rely on; having to live in mixed households after the inevitable divorces and remarriages- being passed around constantly from house to house; being used as pawns between feuding exes and step-parents; being raised by strangers in commercial settings; having no example of a functional home life or marriage for when they assume the roles of spouses and parents….
Even though we were very poor when I was growing up, I’ve always felt as though I was among the richest, simply because i had a full-time stay-at-home mom. It made ALL the difference- to make me strong and independent; to be able to withstand the constant onslaught of social pressures that have shaped the modern world to it’s detriment.
To think, that so many women today would think that being a cog in some corporate office or government agency, or being able to provide the latest gadgets and luxuries would somehow be superior to personally raising their own offspring!
I have two relatives whose sons died. One in his 20’s, and one in his 30’s. While of course, terrible tragedies, the thing is: The one whose son died in his 20’s was a stay-at-home mom. While devastated, she did get over it, and resumed normal life.
The other relative, whose son died in his 30’s a few years ago, has never gotten over it. She was destroyed, and has never recovered, and it’s looking like she never will. I think the difference is: She worked full-time since her son was quite young. I’d say she now realizes that things could have been so much different, and is suffering guilt for not being the mother she knew she ought to have been by just putting in the time and forgoing all of the meaningless BS that people clutter their lives with; by being the type of mother that her mother was to her. This woman has been near suicidal for years now, and is basically non-functional.
Deep down people know what is right. They often choose to do otherwise. Sometimes they get away with it, or at least can live with the results, if the results are not too far from the norm of everyone else around them; sometimes, the consequences are more graphic, and the reality slaps them in the face.
What a HOME-RUN of a comment!! Everything absolutely SPOT-ON! As a well-established guy approaching 30, I’ve done everything I possibly can to get my financial house in order. I cannot ever imagine voluntarily signing away my “financial freedom,” which took TENS-OF-THOUSANDS of HOURS over the last decade+ to accumulate, for simply the sake of “proving my love to her.” It’s me and her, and nothing says I Love You quite like bringing in courts and lawyers into the relationship lol. But the part you wrote about having a stay-at-home-mom REALLY touched me… mine was too, and we were poor also (immigrants), and it never felt that way because I had both parents that knew their roles in the household. But I guess that’s why we can look around at the insanity of today and see what complete nonsense young women are being sold.
Thanks, Maybe MGTOW!
It’s reassuring to know that there are some others out there who appreciate such things.
Even growing up in the 70’s, so many of my friends did not have the luxury of a full-time mom; and most of them were middle class. I even realized then, that the extra material things they had were no substitute for what they lacked in the security and guidance of a traditional mother.
Interestingly, most of those childhood friends are now already dead, or have otherwise come to no good.
And it works both ways. You see these now elderly women stuffed into “senior housing” and nursing homes; and their kids come and see them once or twice a year. Some feel sorry for them, and say “What lousy kids they have”- but I remind such critics that people reap what they sow.
My mother, who is currently 94, lives in her own mobile home on my property- and I have kept her with me all of my life. Mothers who put the time and effort into their children, get children who do the same for them when they are old.
Judging by the comments on this article, I think Eric needs to become “Eric, Your Libertarian MGTOW Guy” instead of “Eric, Your Libertarian Car Guy”!
What a great bloke you are Nunzio. Your comments on this article are just as poignant as Eric’s, and I was born in 1954. So I know all these feelings. Even though I’ve been married 30 years now.
Thanks,to5!
And congrats on the 30 years! It does my heart good when I see people who have not been tarnished by the social engineering, and who can thus still function as fully functional human beings- able to be happy and make someone else happy; and function as a complete unit whose sum is greater than the toital of the individual parts.
That’s the way it should be!
Like my aunt and uncle who’ve been married for 68 years. Sadly, the young’uns will never know how it could be; how it should be; how it used to be. The social engineering has been ramped-up so much over the last few generations.
Eric, I have to say that you not only knocked it out of the park – I think the ball went into orbit!
Thanks, Dread!
It’s reader pats on my spavined back that make all this worthwhile 🙂
Eric that HIT was so powerful that it knocked some sense into me and I immediately signed up for your monthly subscription plan! Proud to DONATE! Cheers brother!
The US used to love personal responsibility, freedom, morality, peace, and balanced budgets.
Americans are now embracing welfare, tyranny, immorality, war, and debt.
Some Americans are not adjusting well to the changes and the hypocrisy.
You just need to go outside to see the insanity. Have you noticed the panhandlers, the illegal immigrants, the cashier high on drugs, a black man using his fingers while pretending to shoot you, the homosexual in the gym shower leering at you, the white man spitting, the fat girl wearing pajamas at the supermarket, and the old lady driving slow on purpose in the parking lot talking to herself?
People living in the US would think this was normal, but Americans don’t realize how far the USA has fallen until they travel abroad.
Being a fat, tattooed single mother in Vietnam would be shameful.

How can Americans sleep at night while the US collapses or look in the mirror now without feeling disgusted?
More times than I wished I’ve had to get the wife to help when 2 people were required. She got a certain satisfaction from most of those forays but certainly not all.
She’d drive the truck or tractor while I humped hay bales, always the least physical chore when possible.
If the chore could remotely be done alone I found a way. I rue the day she helped work cattle and we had a new squeeze chute. She tried to reverse the gate after tripping the release on a cow I wasn’t done with. 1200 lbs. of pissed off cow simply went on and with the wife holding the lever she was thrown across the pens. Later that day a cat tripped her and her ankle shattered. No going back on that and life’s never been the same for either of us. Up to that point she could do, in a limited way, most things a man can do and did so when it couldn’t be avoided. Farm life is tough and especially so for women.
We had to give up some things when she could no longer carry a sack of feed when I was gone too long and a feeder ran out.
I’d rather not have had her do many physical chores but she was a trooper and sometimes did them when I could have later. She could see I’d be done in day after day and do a tough chore without my asking. If we had it to do over she’d never have done more working cattle than fill syringes and change branding irons or change the knife in my hand for the emasculators.
Life isn’t necessarily fair nor kind for anyone, especially men. These snowflakes wanting equal pay have obviously never worked. I can get them equal pay in the patch, and to be quite honest, they’ll always get the easy job or just a made up job.
I had a great picture on my phone that died. After a lifetime of seeing only men pipelining, I saw a young woman working as a welders helper, not an easy job at all. There was a male and female outhouse on site and I found out why. See, they make exceptions for women in every aspect just to have a female employed.
What the snowflakes want is executive pay for listening to other women’s bitching about hurt feelings.
“Tripped over a cat” Apologies to you and the Mrs, 8- but that just sounds SO freaking funny! But I know…. My mother, when she was in her 70’s, fell while trying to swat a fly…and broke her hip!
Play it again Eric.
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say, I love you
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs never out of date
Hearts full of passion, jealousy and hate
Woman needs man and man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It’s still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
It’s still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
Whats wrong with you Eric – theres no different between men and women… me can have children….

Equality is just an excuse to move a political agenda forward. When equality doesn’t work to move the agenda forward things like the “tender years doctrine” are invoked which certainly isn’t an equality measure. Feminism is a political movement for the same sort of goals as any other. The last thing desired is equality.
I, for one, have reached the point where I relish the chance to give random women every opportunity their benighted little hearts desire to prove themselves “the equals” of men. It’s such FUN to watch the catastrophic failure that inevitably follows – which, of course, is ALWAYS blamed on men not doing their share to ensure feminism’s success.
You are a brave soul Eric!. This topic is considered blasphemy these enlightened days. True but blasphemy as far as the little woman is concerned. lolol.
Off Topic,,, I have been reading about the problems Tesla’s are having in the frigid El Norte. Not to worry though,,, A software fix is coming to fix it all…. :))
Eric, Bravo!
Though you haven’t gone far enough with this, the premise is solid gold. The reality is that our society needs to undo over 100 years of programming, 100 plus years of “progressive” progress. In every aspect.
In the first half of the 20th century, men and women knew who they were, what they wanted, and what to expect of each other.
In 1930 you could buy a genuine Thompson submachine gun through the mail. (Or if you preferred, a war surplus spandau or vickers).
People bought cars which they had the economic literacy to know would require maintenance and valued quality and reliability.
Freedom was understood as being far more important than safety.
Cops knew their place, and a citizen who shot down an out of line cop got off. (Don’t take my word for it, read some old newspapers.)
Undo 100 years of programming and life won’t be perfect, but the madness will end.
It is quite fitting of you to put “progressive” in quotes. Far too many people see any kind of change as progress. What we have been experiencing at the hands of “progressives” is progress in the same way that fungal decay and rust can be considered progress.
I am literally shitting bricks in fear of knowing what my poor kid(s) will have to endure in their first years at Gov-Compulsory schools. “Now class let’s introduce ourselves to everyone.” -I am Ze Penflower-Lotus-Moon and I identify as transitional with no pronouns today. (for fucks sake…..)
As a recent new dad I have learned to respect the “driver of life” (aside from capitalism) that has gotten us to this point. The investment of care and energy parents have to take from their own life to invest into a future life that cannot possibly handle the world on its own. Think about it, our ancient “human” ancestors (evolution is a joke) had to invest time into nurturing young cave-kids as the men gathered and hunted and …. HAD TO PASS THIS KNOWLEDGE DOWN TO THEIR KIDS for their survival. Yet today we are goaded by the likes of Disney Cartoons, Lying scum Media, anyone tied to the club of rome or Davos that it is selfish and wrong to raise your kids how you want and that society should raise them. Or even worse the disappearance of strong family units being portrayed in arts and cartoons and even childrens programming. How many movies or shows exist today with stable functioning hetero parents? crickets… I wonder why. Even worse as Mooeing above has mentioned is the abandonment of maternal desire to be with your kids and go earn some Federal Reserve Notes and Linkedin Status Checks (corporate mom hero whatever). Well damn you can’t take those with you, but you can take with you the knowing that you spent precious time with your off spring. If my boss lady made as much as I do and could generally support us I would quit my job in a heartbeat and home school our son at any cost. Because there is nothing more rewarding than passing on that knowledge you have gained to them.
You know where they won’t hear that nonsense? Well with the Ron Paul homeschooling program of course! Cheesy podcast related joke aside I would 100% encourage you to look into the RP homeschool courses. The wonderful Dr. Tom Woods has them on his site with some bonus stuff as well. https://tomwoods.com/
brazos,
If you send your kid to the local friendly mandatory government youth propaganda camp you are a child abuser.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Soviet_man#New_Soviet_Woman
Even the Commies couldn’t fight evolution. Turned out the ideal Soviet Woman was a baby factory, not an equal to the Soviet Man. Whoops.
It seemed to me that the wimin’s lib movement was all about marketing and cheap labor, not about “empowering” anything. From Philip Morris creating Marlboros as a woman’s brand to Enjoli, the “8 hour perfume for your 24 hour woman,” selling the idea that a woman can only be fulfilled by being everything (and buying everything) continues to be extremely effective. Why not sell politicians using the same system? It works well enough for everything else.
“Nature Doesn’t Lie”
Remember “State Father”? After the boundless success of Soviet “child support” programs they set up sperm banks where the new Soviet woman could get herself knocked up by simply waiving the ability to steal from the father. We haven’t caught up to this yet.
Under western feminism the waivers apparently don’t mean anything.
Well done on the explanation Eric. My wife was all worried if she’d be happy as a stay at home mom when we had out first. She ended up loving it and can’t imagine having to give up care to another woman so she can go work after just 3 months of caring for the child. She didn’t finish college because she didn’t see the point when she wasn’t planning to enter the workforce for another 18 years minimum. I encouraged her to do what she wanted school or even part time work if the pay was worth it. We decided to homeschool as well to get away from the government indoctrination and she is happy homeschooling. She’s better organized and good at little detail work. I can turn a wrench, work hard, and do all the carpentry. My liberal sister once thought this was strange and said we are acting like midwestern white christian conservatives. I am from south east asia and tried to explain libertarianism but most 2 sided political people think libertarians are the opposite side of their beliefs. She’s now 32 and finally getting married and realized being a single strong liberal feminist (who worked in a college university) was not a happy life. She looks forward to becoming a mom and left the university. Getting a dog actually opened up her eyes to how much she enjoys the oppression of motherhood. She’s still liberal as shes moving to France and looks forward to the healthcare but has realized feminism does not lead to happiness.
My experience echoes yours: Best thing for my marriage was when my wife quit working 9-5 outside the home. We (which is to say she) homeschooled all our kids. Well, I did some little things…. Anyhow, each of us having our “swim lanes” was very beneficial to the partnership of our marriage working out so well. I also think college is good for a woman who decides to stay at home with the kids and raise them. University study imparts certain knowledge and breadth of thinking that is beneficial to being a mother and wife. However, I temper my previous statement with garbage left-wing liberal arts, and humanities studies. Thankfully, my wife studied an applied art. (e.g. graphic art design). And yes, when she decided to reenter the workforce after raising the kids, my advice to her was to do whatever she wanted to do. The money earned is not necessarily the driving factor. She found a job with a Catholic apostolate ministry that she enjoys thoroughly.
Thats great Tom. When i got engaged my wife had just finished her 2nd year of college studying sociology. I told her either change your major or quit school because i didn’t want to marry someone with 4 years of debt for a worthless degree.
