Vagina Museum Won’t Close After All

The saga of Britain’s Vagina Museum continues. It looked like this tribute to tastelessness would have to close due to lack of interest — or per the management, oppression by the landlord. But the stately institution has been saved:

London’s Vagina Museum has successfully raised over £70,000 in just four days, ensuring it can remain open…

Wailed its website:

“The Vagina Museum is one month away from closing – forever. We are battered from all sides. Reproductive rights are in crisis. Women’s rights are in crisis. LGBT+ rights are in crisis. Arts and culture are in crisis.”

To the extent the Vagina Museum represents its culture, you can stick a fork in the UK.

Once the GoFundMe hit its initial target of £60,000, the team shared: “The Vagina Museum is saved! This #WomensHistory Month, together we prevented the Vagina Museum from becoming a footnote in women’s history. Instead, we made women’s history.”

This isn’t only about women:

The museum’s founder, Florence Schechter, has previously spoken about the importance of inclusivity in its mission. In a 2022 interview with PinkNews, she stated: “Obviously, we’re going to be trans-inclusive. I love many people who are trans. We have trans and non-binary staff and volunteers.”

However, this commitment to inclusivity has placed the museum at the “epicentre of transphobia,” according to Schechter.

The Vagina Museum is an ironic location for the epicenter of transphobia, considering that transsexuals are people who either don’t have vaginas or pretend they don’t.

Moonbat Claims to Be Oppressed by Pink Dresses

There are still limits to how far moonbats can arrogantly bully their employers — even in the UK:

[An] HMRC [Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs] worker who branded her female boss ‘sexist’ when she said in a meeting that she wanted a granddaughter so she could buy ‘pink dresses’ has lost a discrimination claim, an employment tribunal heard.

Rachel Gladstone demanded that team leader Sandra Edwards apologise, asking that she ‘keep the overt spoilt pink baby girl princess sexism for your private and family life’.

Ms Gladstone added that it was a ‘triggering’ subject for her as she had spent time while raising her own daughter to counteract the ‘pink is for girls’ culture…

So she refused to attend Daily Work Group Meetings until the matter was “sorted out.”

The comments – made in a series of emails – led bosses to launch disciplinary proceedings against admin worker Ms Gladstone, then 52, over her behaviour at work for which she received a written warning.

This prompted her to resign and to sue HMRC for unfair constructive dismissal and disability discrimination.

The basis of Gladstone’s claim to disabled status is unclear; she is said to suffer “from a number of physical and mental health conditions.” If moonbattery is categorized as a mental health condition (and why wouldn’t it be?), holding woke employees to any standard of behavior could qualify as discrimination. Good thing her suit failed.

Scientific American Jumps Another Shark

There are left-wing publications, there are goofy-left publications, then — out there in the farthest reaches of the moonbat fever swamps — there is Scientific American.

SciAm made a good case for Trump with its out-of-touch endorsement of Kamala Harris. Otherwise, it would be hard to find much use for a supposedly science-oriented publication that issues absurd Newspeak Dictionary updates, gins up hysteria over the weather, informs us that we like climate radicalism, hypes drag queens, racializes NFL injuries, equates failing to subject children to sex change procedures to Nazism, and even proclaims that sex organs are merely a social construct.

It will take more than dumping hebephrenically liberal Editor-in-Chief Laura Helmuth to restore credibility after this:

If beneficial CO2 emissions can create their imaginary climate catastrophe, why can’t feminist ideology cure it?

The apparent objective is to push moonbattery to the last extreme of absurdity. So don’t expect any scientific rigor or even basic logic:

As water, fuel and nutritious food are harder to come by and the health care needs of family members increase, women and girls have to spend more time on unpaid care work.

So,

We need to move away from economies based on extraction and pollution, towards ones that are based on regeneration and care for one another and for the environment.

By “economies based on extraction and pollution,” they mean advanced capitalist countries like the USA. As a country to emulate, they point to miserably poor Bangladesh, where women toil wretchedly to the point of exhaustion but do so with culturally rich “traditional rural cooking methods.”

It doesn’t matter whether moonbats ride the global warming hoax, feminism, or whatever other woke hobbyhorse. In the end, moonbattery boils down to moonbattery — prominently featuring hatred of Western Civilization. Thus an article on how feminism can improve the weather features includes this:

[W]e must repair the impacts of environmental degradation—acknowledging that the Global North bears the largest share of responsibility for historical emissions—and guarantee not to repeat those harms.

For a while, liberals will keep reading Scientific American to affirm their crumbling worldview. A few countermoonbats will read it for laughs. Readership will dwindle until the oldest continuously published magazine in America is discontinued due to lack of interest. Degradation into farce followed by extinction is the fate of any institution that succumbs to moonbattery.

LGBT+ Black Vegan Feminist Kwanzaa

The more central a holiday is to our culture, the more it needs to be corrupted and displaced. Moonbats have Afrocentralized, homosexualized, and transsexualized Christmas. They have tried to reduce its significance to that of one of many holidays, so that “Merry Christmas” is replaced by the vacuous “Happy Holidays.” They have tried to replace Christmas with Kwanzaa. They have gotten so carried away with their cultural engineering as to queerify Hanukkah, Ramadan, and even Kwanzaa itself. Yet still they have strive to push moonbattery even further.

A Kwanzaa expo is coming to Chesterfield County, Virginia this month, hosted by For the Fem in You, which describes its mission as this:

Cultivating Safe Spaces for BIPOC Womxn X LGBT+ in the creative arts and small business Community.

Andrea Daughtry, founder and executive director, explains what they are celebrating:

“Really, literally it’s just a time to make sure that Black principles are celebrated. We have cooperative economics, which is my favorite, which we get to celebrate during this season. It’s just a time to get together and focus on celebrating Black excellence and Black people, just period.”

No, not just period. There is more to the Christmas season than black supremacism. “Cooperative economics” (a.k.a. socialism), for example. Also, let’s not forget veganism…

“There are over 20 vendors, all amazing vegan food, because we love to prioritize wellness when we are doing these expos…”

…and of course feminism:

Daughtry explained that For the Fem in You is an organization focused on creating safe spaces for women of color in the small business and arts sector.

“Safe spaces” protect them from the threat of those who differ from themselves.

The problem with Christmas is that its spirit embraces everyone. The woke concept of inclusivity entails excluding those who represent disfavored groups: whites, men, people who eat a normal human diet, et cetera.

Big News at Vagina Museum

Important news for moonbats on the culture front. Stacey-Leigh Dolan will be the new chair of London’s Vagina Museum.

Proclaims Chairmoonbat Dolan:

“These are challenging times for the sector, and it will be a tough task to build resilience while delivering world-class, high-impact programming, but I am confident that the passionate and diverse team of staff and trustees will rise to the challenge.”

The Vagina Museum proclaims itself to be “the world’s first bricks and mortar museum dedicated to vaginas, vulvas and the gynaecological anatomy.”

See if you can guess the genitalia of Eugène Delacroissant (a.k.a. drag king Claire Mead), curator of the current exhibition Museum of Mankind.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have as much extra time to waste as moonbats seem to?

She-Moonbat Cuts Off Hair to Fight Patriarchy

To most of us, the election represents a glorious victory for America, which turned back at the edge of a precipice and can now restore itself to greatness. But to moonbats, it was a victory only for the identity group they most hate: white men. Watch and laugh as a New York moonbat takes vengeance against the patriarchy by disfiguring her appearance (LIBERAL LANGUAGE ALERT):

The 4B movement she refers to has been trending on social media after the failure of the Kamala Harris campaign, which made a feminist pitch to vote for a lousy candidate out of hostility toward men. The four B’s stand for its four tenets, which all start with a B sound in Korean: no dating men, no sex with men, no marrying men, and no giving birth. The movement benefits men more than women, as it helps them avoid neurotic women of a type likely to ruin their lives.

The charming lady in the video above adds that she won’t even talk to men anymore. Trump said we would get tired of winning, but I’m not tired yet.

Don’t let liberal women in on the secret that they can strike a still more devastating blow against the patriarchy if after they shave off their hair they tattoo “DYSFUNCTIONAL MOONBAT” across their foreheads.

Experts Confirm That Housewives Are Oppressed

Social engineers oppose the traditional family arrangement that has worked so well since before recorded history, whereby women raise children and maintain the home rather than slaving to generate tax revenue. They have determined that it is oppressive because it requires cognitive effort:

[T]here’s an invisible dimension of household labor that unfolds behind the scenes: the cognitive effort that goes into anticipating needs, planning, organizing and delegating household tasks. In other words, someone has to remember to replace the dish soap and select which vegetables to chop.

Our new research found that this cognitive dimension of housework, often called the “mental load,” is divided even more unevenly within couples than the physical dimension – and it seems to take a particular mental health toll on women. According to the study we published in the Archives of Women’s Mental Health, mothers who take on a more disproportionate share of cognitive household labor report higher levels of depression, stress, relationship dissatisfaction and burnout.

Some women lack the cognitive capacity to laugh off the Experts and their woke studies. Admittedly, it could be in the best interests of the gene pool if they sit in cubicles avoiding overtaxation of their brains instead of having kids.

Physics World Makes Feminist Demands

Democrats are counting on voters selecting the next president based largely on gender. Why not fund scientific research on the same principle?

Via Physics World:

Investments in “big-science” projects, whether it’s the next particle collider or a new synchrotron, are often justified in terms of the benefits for science, such as the discovery of a new particle or the opening of a new vista on the cosmos. The positive impact of large facilities on society and the economy are often cited too, such as spin-off technologies in medical physics. Gender equality, however, is rarely acknowledged as a necessary objective when building these multi-billion-euro facilities or investing in the research required to develop them. That lack of focus on gender equality is something that I believe must change.

In all seriousness, this is from a science magazine, not the editorial page of a second-rate college newspaper. Moonbattery is a truly totalitarian ideology; there is no escape from it anywhere.

The lack of gender-based targets for big science is laid bare in a tool created as part of the European Union’s Horizon 2020 funding programme. Produced by the Research Infrastructure Impact Assessment Pathways project, it assesses the impact of research infrastructures on the economy and society via 122 “impact indicators” in four areas: human resources; policy; society; and economy and innovation. But only one indicator – contribution to gender balance in society – gives any mention to gender equality.

A cultural Marxist may well pout. But there is hope:

The EU’s €96bn Horizon Europe programme – the successor to Horizon 2020 – now requires that all benefiting organizations, many of which participate in big-science projects, have a gender equality plan. Several industry sectors are also doing lots to integrate equality, diversity and inclusion into human resources…

When scientific funding is specifically targeted toward research conducted by blacks with Down syndrome, the scientific community can congratulate itself on having caught up to the makers of Barbi — except that by then Mattel will have pushed political correctness even deeper into self-parody.

In the meantime, Physics World calls for “gender budgeting,” which entails discrimination against men in hiring, pay equity, and budgets that are “earmarked to help staff achieve a work–life balance.”

Mandating the same pay for less work is known among moonbats as “social justice.” To get an idea of how likely this mentality is to produce excellence, consider who the Democrats are running for president.

Open Thread

I've heard a hundred different variations of instances of unadulterated female victimhood, yet the silence of the feminists is deafening. Where two pieties--feminism and multi-culturalism--come into conflict, the only way of preserving both is an indecent silence. - Theodore Dalrymple

Moonbat Blames Trump Supporters for NYC Face Punching

The New York City fad of punching random white or Asian women in the face turns out not to be a consequence of liberal lawlessness and Black Lives Matter race hate ideology after all. Salon’s Amanda Marcotte reveals that once again Donald Trump is to blame — or rather the misogyny of his supporters.

Mind your ears; Amanda has a tendency to shriek. Here she goes, via The Blaze:

These stories resonate, as well, because the nation is having a moment of increasingly unhinged male fury at women for daring to have lives that are centered around something other than catering to a man’s every whim. Unleashed by Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, there’s an upswell of loud male entitlement shouting at us from every corner.

Deplorable MAGA types prowl the streets of ultraliberal NYC, just like in Chicago, where a pair of them set upon Jussie Smollett for being black and gay.

Everything that ever happens anywhere can be forced to fit into the liberal narrative; you just have to apply some intellectual elbow grease.

When countermoonbats responded to Amanda with guffaws…

…Amanda seized upon this as proof that she is oppressed by the male chauvinists comprising the patriarchy:

“Man, I knew this article was super true when I wrote it, but the hateful emails MAGA men are sending doubly prove it. Hit dogs, as they say, holler,” she said on social media.

“Oh men, just know that your angry emails are going unread. If I see a man’s name on the email and a mention of punching women, I know what you’re going to say and will delete without a read,” she added.

Only by firmly closing your ears to dissenting opinion can you achieve pure moonbattery.

Trump supporters would put a stop to this.

Middle-Aged Iranian Crowned Miss Germany

You don’t have to be young and beautiful to be a beauty queen these days. It’s enough to be a foreigner and a moonbat activist like Apameh Schönauer, the new Miss Germany.

Her qualifications, other than being from an Islamic hellhole:

She is actively involved in social activism, including founding the women’s rights organization “Network Shirzan.”

Apameh Schönauer is of course in favor of the cultural genocide by mass immigration that she personifies, barking,

“I think Germany needs to open its arms a little wider and allow us to become more diverse.”

She is 39 years old and the mother of two. The honorific “Miss” doesn’t mean what it used to.

The liberal establishment grants awards on the basis of advancing its ideology. Another recent example is journalist/terrorist Yousef Masoud winning a Polk Award for journalism participating in the terror atrocities of October 7. Consequently, awards are no longer meaningful. If anything, receiving an award proves that you did not deserve it; otherwise moonbats could not have made a political point by giving it to you.

Inheritors of South Africa: Women Want to Be Raped

Rape is endemic in the Rainbow Utopia, as previously flourishing South African disintegrates into a pre-civilization state of barbarism due to the triumph of moonbattery. How do women feel about it? Let’s see if potential rapists know. Britain’s Ross Kemp asks the previously oppressed:

In the case of female moonbats, these sociopaths may actually have a point. If they are not willing at some sick level to become victims of rape, why do they support the societal disintegration that makes sexual violence inevitable? Maybe this explains feminist support for Hamas rapists.

Face of UN Women UK Is White-Hating Black Man

Women are not faring well in the leftist pecking order. When they aren’t getting raped and murdered by Hamas with feminist approval, they are getting displaced by cross-dressing men — even in women’s organizations:

Women’s rights groups have written in opposition to a decision by UN Women UK to have a transgender woman as its “UK champion”.

They have voiced their “dismay and disappointment” following the decision to select Munroe Bergdorf, 36, a model and broadcaster, to take on the role in November.

Nice to see some women’s rights groups still support women. Other ostensibly feminist groups have been subordinated to the greater liberal agenda, which calls for the sacrifice of women to terrorist savages and male perverts.

UN Women UK works in support of UN Women in a bid to transform the lives of women and girls along with “empowerment of women equality globally within civil society, government and the corporate sector”.

It empowers women by displacing them and by advancing the LGBT objective of canceling the very concept of women. What do you expect from the United Nations?

Mr. Bergdorf drones that he will “draw attention to the systemic and social impact of misogyny, transphobia and gender-based inequality within the UK.”

He is a fierce opponent not only of transphobia but also of Caucasians. Bergdorf is about as British as he is female. From 2020:

Bergdorf has rejoined L’Oreal Paris after [he] was sacked by the brand in 2017 for posting about “the racial violence of white people”. …

[He] will now join the company’s UK diversity and inclusion advisory board.

Bergdorf temporarily got the boot by shouting that “ALL white people” are guilty of racial violence. He proclaimed that whites’ “entire existence is drenched in racism.” Among the politically orthodox, to accuse someone of racism is the worst possible insult.

Naturally L’Oreal caved to the Powers That Be by bringing Bergdorf back on. If being a left-wing black woman is qualification enough to be Vice President, a Supreme Court Justice, White House Press Secretary, and until this week President of Harvard, surely being a left-wing black transsexual is qualification enough to represent beauty products — as well as women’s organizations like UN Women UK.

Munroe Bergdorf is a woman like Rachel Dolezal is black.

Believe All Women Unless…

If feminists were going to be reasonable about anything, it ought to be Islam, which has treated women as subhuman from the beginning. In the early days of Mohammad’s cult, a primary recruiting tool was the distribution of booty from the caravans it looted — including women who were captured as sex slaves. To this day, Islamic regimes repress women to such an extreme that they are forbidden to show their hair and in some places even their faces. Yet in the aftermath of October 7, feminist groups side with Islam:

After Hamas terrorists set about murdering, raping and abducting as many women as they could, one might have expected widespread condemnation from the West’s feminist groups. After all, Hamas had provided enough evidence of its crimes — within hours, they were posting footage of abducted young women in bloodied trousers being paraded around Gaza.

Not to mention that women’s Achilles tendons were slit so they couldn’t run away before getting gang raped.

The response among the majority of groups committed to ending violence against women and girls (VAWG) was threefold: to keep quiet, to disbelieve the victims, or to insinuate they deserved their fate. In the words of 140 American “prominent feminist scholars”, to stand in solidarity with Israeli women is to give in to “colonial feminism”.

In Liberalese, “colonial” means “pertaining to Western Civilization.”

The British feminist group Feministo has no evident issue with Islam but plenty of problems with all things “colonial” — including the existence of Israel. A demonstration demanding its surrender to terrorists who want the country erased shut down London’s Liverpool Street Station.

Afterwards, the charity issued a 600-word statement, filled with references to “apartheid”, “genocide” and disproved reports that the IDF had bombed Gaza’s Al-Ahli hospital. There was no mention, however, of the 239 abducted Israelis, roughly 100 of whom are believed to be women, or the sexual assaults that took place on October 7. When journalist Hadley Freeman pointed out this wasn’t terribly feminist of them, the group responded by claiming reports of Hamas’s sex attacks amounted to “the Islamophobic and racist weaponisation of sexual violence”. Towards the end of their rambling statement, they concluded: “no people would ever accept being murdered, humiliated, dispossessed, racially targeted, oppressed, cleansed, exiled and colonised without resisting.”

Murder isn’t murder if committed by a favored group against colonial women and children, who are the real murderers according to moonbat ideology.

The horrors inflicted on women on October 7 are well documented. Progressives dismiss the documentation as Israeli propaganda. Believe all women, unless it conflicts with the agenda.

Other feminist groups openly siding with Hamas terrorists in the aftermath of the nightmare last month include Southall Black Sisters, Women for Women UK, Women’s Place UK, and UN Women.

The testimony of Nachman Dyksztejna regarding the Islamic atrocities clarifies what feminists are siding with:

“In Kibbutz Be’eri, I witnessed bodies of two women with their hands and legs tied to a bed. One of these bodies we found was sexually terrorised with a knife stuck in her vagina and all her internal organs removed. After brutally violating these women, Hamas detonated the house on them, so we found them beneath a pile of stones.

“The mini shelters scattered from the Nova party site to road 34, shelters that had been broken into, were filled with piles of women. Their clothing was torn on the upper part, but their bottoms were completely naked. Piles and piles of women, dead bodies, lying this way. When you took a closer look at their heads, you saw a single shot straight to the brain of each.”

The scene makes a good metaphor for what leftists want done to all of us for being “colonial.”

None of this sounds very empowering for women. But then, feminists don’t care any more about women than climate kooks care about the weather or Black Lives Matter fellow travelers care about the welfare of blacks.

The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the destruction of civilization so that it can be replaced by a regime of inescapable moonbattery. Like feminism, Islam makes for a useful wrecking ball.
