In The Second Sex, Simone de Beauvoir passionately outlines her philosophy concerning the relationship between men and women. She asserts that women should be acknowledged as “free and autonomous” human beings, in spite of the fact that they have traditionally been forced to assume the role of “the OTHER” – weaker, more emotional, inferior sex.

Ever since I was a kid I’ve wondered what the hell happened to all those beautifully carved ancient statues with their noses smashed, eyes poked out and extremities chopped off. Then I studied the history of the Roman Empire and discovered it was the Christians that done it! Christianity did not evolve from quiet proselytizing […]
Jan van Eyck’s THE ANNUNCIATION [1434-36] and the MERODE ALTARPIECE [1425-28] by Robert Campin [with the help of an unknown assistant] have many similarities in both subject and content, yet there are several other aspects of the paintings which are unique. The subject in both works is essentially the same: the Annunciation from the biblical […]
To no one’s surprise, the rogue Supreme Court came to yet another radical decision this week when it decided 6-3 to overturn Roe v Wade. The highest court in the USA is now governed not by The Constitution – but by the fairy tales in some 2,000 year old book. The three most recent appointees […]
Its’ all fine and dandy to bitch and moan about the terrible loss of life in Ukraine and whatnot, but like, where was all this global indignation when the USA invaded Iraq and laid their entire country to waste? And god forbid we mention Afghanistan. Iraq and Afghanistan are literally on the other side of […]
In the USA we have something called the MONROE DOCTRINE, which of course forbids any foreign power from placing military forces ANYWHERE in the Western Hemisphere. Remember how freaked out everyone was during the Cuban missile crisis? From that point on, no other nation has been allowed to put weapons in our ‘backyard.’ Imagine if […]
Infamous French reprobate Marquis de Sade’s Philosophy in the Bedroom is a radical statement of intent. In the wake of the French Revolution, de Sade [1740-1814] makes his case for absolute freedom and equality, and he makes it very clear that as far as he is concerned, there can never be any individual freedom until […]
US “president” Joltin’ Joe Biden hosted a ‘Summit for Democracy’ this week. With about 110 hand-picked world leaders in attendance for his virtual Summit for Democracy, Biden sounded the alarm over the rising tide of authoritarianism. The “president” conceded that the endeavor was less of a magic bullet than an attempt to the start a […]
Like, why is there no ‘JFK Remembrance Day?’ Why is there nothing at all to commemorate this date? We commemorate 9-11 every goddam year. Why not JFK? The Power Elite hated President Kennedy and everything he stood for. While the rest of the world mourned his tragic death, they were celebrating. But the horrendous tragedy […]
If historians really want to understand why Umerkins are so fucking retarded and easily duped by disinformation and “fake news,” they need to look no further than what happened in 1987 when “president” Ronnie Raygun’s treasonous administration killed off the Fairness Doctrine. Introduced in 1949, the Fairness Doctrine was a policy created by the Federal […]
