Neo-Liberal Love is Discriminatory?

Why of course it is.

You’re Doing It All Wrong

If you are only attracted to able, ‘mentally well’, cis, normatively beautiful people, from class privileged backgrounds, then you are upholding violent norms.

Attention, husbands, wives, lovers, seekers of amour, and the partnered of the world. Student activist and avowed “feminist killjoy” Josefin Hedlund wishes to correct your desires in a totally non-dogmatic, non-presumptuous way:

This myth [of love, marriage and monogamy] still has a powerful hold in today’s Western neoliberal societies. Its most important message is that love is magical and apolitical. However, at a closer look, it is obvious that love actually works to uphold hetero- and cis-normative, patriarchal, capitalist, and hierarchical structures in society.

Better stow your luggage and strap yourselves in. The ride may be bumpy.

Test yourself: write down the gender, race, class, social, political, educational, and geographical background of everyone you have been attracted to. Do you see a pattern?

Read it all there, if you care. Best comment at the site:

Short version: "If you don't fancy me there's something wrong with you. Because capitalism."

Tracking through the links, it becomes pure lesbianism victimhood very rapidly.

Another Scientific Principle is Dropped

Everyone recommends flossing – but there's hardly any proof it works

Dental organizations and the federal government have long urged people to use dental floss, but the latest US guidelines have dropped the recommendation


"It’s one of the most universal recommendations in all of public health: floss daily to prevent gum disease and cavities.

Except there’s little proof that flossing works.

Still, governments, dental organisations and manufacturers of floss have pushed the practice for decades. Dentists provide samples to their patients; the British Dental Association insists on its patient website that flossing helps “in the battle against tooth decay and gum disease”.

But all this could change following an investigation by Associated Press (AP). Last year journalists from the agency asked the departments of health and human services and agriculture in the US for their evidence that flossing works.

Since then, the US government has quietly dropped the recommendation, admitting that there is no scientific evidence to prove the benefits. And now the NHS is set to review their own guidelines.

On its website, it currently states that dental floss “helps to prevent gum disease by getting rid of pieces of food and plaque from between your teeth” which can cause inflammation.

A leading British dentist, however, said there is only “weak evidence” that flossing helps in this way. Professor Damien Walmsley of Birmingham University, said the time and expense required for reliable studies meant the health claims often attributed to floss were unproven. "

Embryology, Complexity, and the Inheritance of Life and Humanness

I’ve been looking into the science of Human Embryology to see exactly what is known at this point, at least at the level of university courses on the subject.[1] Especially interesting, of course, is the time from the sperm finding the egg to the time the fertilized egg heads off down the fallopian tube.

Of particular interest are the metabolic functioning and the conversion from mitosis to meiosis in the egg.

The metabolic function exists in both the living sperm and egg. Both sperm and egg are dependent upon their internal source of energy to keep their metabolism going. If the sperm or egg does not reach fertilization, the metabolic system ultimately exhausts the internal source of energy, and the sperm or egg dies.

If, however, the fertilization process occurs, the egg’s metabolic process continues longer, and continues as the fertilized egg goes through the fallopian tube. In the fallopian tube the egg is metabolically assisted by external metabolites acquired from the fluid which fills the tubes. It is thought that this fluid is necessary but insufficient to fully sustain the fertilized egg, and the egg must seek to attach to the uterus wall in order to continue its metabolism and life.

The egg itself has to perform mitosis twice before accepting a sperm. Mitosis splits the egg’s DNA, making a single strand available for the combination process. When the sperm is accepted, the egg and sperm engage in a combination and meiosis, after the sperm sheds its tail.

What has happened is this: the sperm and egg are both alive, with very short life expectancies. Until, that is, they combine. At that point they have an extra life span due to a prolonged metabolic function. That prolonged metabolic function supports not just the life of egg/sperm combination, but also the changeover to meiosis in order to combine the two DNA types, and divide the cells using the combined DNA. The DNA now is the DNA of a new, unique individual, metabolically alive and functioning normally at the first stage of its life.

The dividing cells have the full capacity to become all the many structures and functions of the independent human. But for the duration of the pregnancy, of course, the new human is dependent upon the mother for nutrition for its metabolism (and probably other things).

Inherent in this process is a class of signaling and timed signals. Signaling is apparent in the sperm’s entry, from the contact with the egg’s exterior and being allowed to pass through, to the activation of the egg’s defense system which prevents entry by any other sperm. The sperm is signaled after entry into the egg, that it is time to lose its tail. The egg is signaled to stop mitosis and after combination with the DNA from the sperm, to proceed to meiosis. (The three unused products of the egg’s initial mitosis become inert spots in the egg, called “polar bodies”). The egg is removed from its perch as a follicle by the wiping action of the fronds on the end of the fallopian tube which surround (but don’t attach) to the ovary. When the egg is removed, it is taken down the fallopian tube to the uterus.

Comments:
The details of what happens at each stage seem well documented and go well beyond the summary given here; but the reasons (causal forces) are entirely missing from the text books.

Because this does not happen in dead eggs or with dead sperm, then the abstraction called “life” is necessary. Life is passed down through the fertilization process. Much, if not all, of the action is controlled not by the four forces of physics or entropy, but by directed forces which have specific functions, respond to specific signals at specific times, signals which exist in multitudes and which are interdependent and have the apparent quality of obeying a master controller. And the new cells have the capacity to become innumerable cell types and organs, from blood, bone and heart/lung/liver systems, to neural signaling complexes and thinking brains.

Leftists and Democrats: Still Racist at the Core

Sanders' own national press secretary was treated badly due to race.

"MH: Last time we spoke, you told me about some really frustrating experiences you had on the road that you felt were definitely related to being a woman of color. Do you want to talk a little bit about those?

SS: There were multiple instances. There were places where I literally I couldn't get in. I would go to the door, the staff entrance, and people would say, "This is staff only." I'd have to explain to them that I was staff, and they would question me. I would have to say, "I'm the national press secretary. Did you watch me on the news the other day?" It was consistently happening. There was one week where it happened the entire week.

My breaking point was a time when I had let the event staff know I was having trouble getting in places and asked them if they could just really make an extra effort for this particular day, because it had been a long week. Like, "Could you please just let folks know that I'm coming and that I'm black?" You don't think you'd have to say those things, but I said, "Let them know there's going to be a black girl that's going to come to the front and please let her in."

So I got past the first few checkpoints, but then I pulled into a parking spot and a gentleman came running up to my car, banging on my window, yelling all kinds of profanity and expletives, telling me to get the F out of here, this is for staff, and that I didn't belong back here. I broke down in the car. I cracked my window down and I said, "I'm the national press secretary!" I was just crying. Eventually someone came down and let me in."

Apparently even Sanders was appalled at the party's discrimination.

Remember always: slavery, Jim Crow discrimination, the KKK, all are legacy Democrat functions. Anti-slavery, anti-discrimination, anti-KKK all are Republican legacies. The Civil Rights Acts were all opposed by Democrats right up to and including the 1964 landmark legislation passed by Republicans - and immediately claimed by Democrats under Lyndon Johnson, who then gave the blacks perpetual welfare to buy their votes. Blacks have been bought off ever since, despite not progressing out of their Democrat ghetto-plantations.

When Common Sense Fails

Pregnant ex-women are called "male".

March of the male mums: Sex-change men to give birth on NHS... with three British men born female already 'on brink' of having babies

Dozens of transgender men are having their eggs frozen at NHS clinics
Eggs are frozen before surgery or hormone therapy to switch sex
Treatment means that a British trans man could soon become a parent
In rare circumstances a man could become pregnant and give birth

These XX "men" are constantly dosed with massive amounts of hormones in order to create their fantasy gender. This excessive dosing will likely translate to problems in the development of their fetuses; we shall see. If this does happen, I think child-abuse charges are definitely in order, not only for the women-men, but for their enabling physicians. In fact, the entire Social Justice cult will be to blame.

If nothing else it is proof that the women are merely posing as men, are not men, and are fraudulent in their claim to be men. Men do not have neither pregnancies nor births. Denial of that is an indication of insanity.

Hillary Ad: "Girls are smarter than [boys]" and "Girls, rule, boys, drool".

Since the Hillary ad contains those words, apparently that's what they believe.

With Hillary married to Bill-the-drooler, and Huma married to Weiner-the-drooler, the notion seems to fit... Dem men.

Leftist Paradox of the Week

More Democrat internal inconsistencies (i.e., leftist lies):

Obama: “I promise you, our strength, our greatness, does not depend on Donald Trump,” Obama said. “Our power doesn’t come from some self-declared savior promising that he alone can restore order. We don’t look to be ruled,” he added.

Funny, Obama ran as a self-declared savior in 2008. To be fair, that did turn out pretty disastrously. And if America was already great, why was Obama promising to “fundamentally transform” it?

Obama also said "I'm ready to rule!"

Democrats have this huge memory hole, and that black hole immediately swallows up history when it's not compatible with the necessary narrative du jour. The Dem drone voters have neither mind or memory, it appears.

Latest Social Justice Concern

Are men who self-identify as women being denied abortions? That just cannot stand! Sexual freedom for all!

Amber Tamblyn Has a Lot to Learn About Trans Women’s Reproductive Rights
Are men who identify as women being denied their reproductive rights? ‘That’s a major part of the discussion’

Inadvertently self-identifying as functional idiots.

Update:

*Yawn* Just Another Democrat Internal Contradiction
