Celibacy and Lotharios


There are two polar extremes on the sexual-activity spectrum ... Jeffery Epstein whose daily existence revolved around orgasms ... and (truly) celibate priests and monks who deny their hormones for a higher good. (I don’t mean to cast this comparison as only a male one ... there are obviously female equivalents.)

Clearly, the human imperative is to procreate ... but most humans have crossed this reproductive threshold into the realm of pure physical pleasure without the bothersome result of conception. As far as I know, no other animal species has achieved this level of civilization.

It has long been asserted that celibacy channels humans’ coital energies into other creative outlets. Maybe so ... although lothario Harvey Weinstein made some pretty good movies ... and that coxswain Bill Cosby was quite entertaining as a performer.

But Bubba Clinton does support the notion that Casanovas are generally worthless.

We all know that the #MeToo movement was our nation’s convulsive reaction to this run-away male sexual aggression. But this movement has now met its end when it finally crossed another threshold by fingering Joe Biden’s sexual antics.

Fathers Day


It is not too hard to imagine that some time in the not-too-distant future that men will not be required to propagate our species. Science is moving at a rapid enough pace that asexual reproduction should begin to produce designer children (only females?) without the services of a male. Some primitive animals and many plants can already propagate in such a manner ... and biology is rapidly zeroing  in on how this capability can be transferred to humans ... cloning being the first example.

Also as women become more free to transition between genders, it is conceivable that they might someday be able to perform both roles in conception ... if it has not happened already. At this point men will become, as they say in England, “redundant” ... and be reduced to serving as sex slaves ... if robots do not take over this function too. The war of the sexes will then be over ... and women will have won!

So, kind reader, the “toxic male” gender might soon enough disappear altogether ... and with it Fathers Day. Wouldn’t that be a hoot! No more fraternities ... or wars ... or strip clubs ...or need for protective court orders ... or cigar smoking ... or whistling oglers at construction sites. Maybe even, no more construction sites?

The rapid rise of militant feminism and the #MeToo movement suggests to me that this Brave New World might be very welcoming of such an eventuality ... except possibly for Hallmark Cards.

Happy Fathers Day!

My Hat in the Ring


The presidential race is getting crowded on the Democrat side. Every day there seems a new candidate. It is possible that as many as 30 wanna-bes will be running in the 2020 primary. So why not? Today, I too will be declaring as a Social Media Socialist. My campaign slogan will be “pot in every chicken” and I promise that no one will go to bed unimpaired ... possibly hungry though.

I am seeking the endorsement of the Black Lives Matter Movement, #MeToo-ers, Maduro, the Southern Poverty Law Center, Chelsea Clinton, Vladimir Putin and the Harvard faculty. I also seek the support of the LGBs .. but not the Ts ... they are ruining women’s sports and crowding our restrooms.

I am starting a campaign finance committee headed by Anthony Weiner and a GoFundMe page. My monetary objective is two billion dollars or three bitcoins. I also promise a Green New Deal but with airplanes and hamburgers ... and without Brussels sprouts. If elected, I also promise to lock up every other politician and build a wall across the Canadian border ... and Trudeau will pay for it.

I realize I am a little old to be doing this, but then so are many of the other candidates. And besides, I think the world will end in only seven years. But I will pick a youngster as a running mate to compensate ... perhaps Weiner or Jussie Smollett?

I think the hat I am throwing in this presidential ring will be embroidered with MAAA — Make America Awful Again.

Cause du Jour


Why is it that only liberals seem to have causes that they will stage emotive protests for: legalize marijuana, "women's reproductive rights," equal pay, transgender bathrooms, black lives matter, dump Trump Women's March, safe spaces, #MeToo, down with Civil War monuments, save the planet, bam guns, no tax cuts, open borders, same sex marriage, evil white privilege, eliminate ICE? The list goes on and on and on. As soon as the emotion drains out of one cause, another one steps in to take it's place. Do not these fulminaters have anything else to do with their empty lives? Must our media always have a weekend protest or boycott or diatribe to headline? It all seems very artificial and superficial to this observer.

Are these real grassroots protests or is this a lot of AstroTurf ... ginned-up crowds comprised mostly of many Soros-paid actors ... or  rent-a-mobs? (There are agencies which will actually rent you a spittle-flecked mob for any cause you want. How cynical can you get?)

The free-speech, save the whales and free-love activists of our youth seem so much more tame and naive than the cause du jour gauntlets we are forced to endure these days. What's next? "Green cards  for all the jihadists'  children?" Spare me!

Grandstanders


Seems like just about everyone will do or say just about anything to get in the headlines, accumulate more followers on social media or attract the ire of President Trump in one of his tweets. Andy Warhol was wrong. 15 minutes of fame is not enough for most cowboys nowadays. It's now 15 thousand click-throughs that most are seeking. I would dismiss this trend as pure silliness except for the fact that money is involved ... lots of money flowing out of Google, Twitter and other Internet sites to those who can get best noticed.

In his attempt to counter the plethora of fake news out there, our president has provided a model for many of these headline grabbers ... who now try too out insult, out swear and out joke their way to more "eye-balls" on the Internet. Even the #MeToo movement is part of this tapestry of attention (and Stormy-style money) grabbers. I would be willing to bet that many of these sexual-harassment claims are more fiction than fact ... and that many more serious abusers ... even some females ... are still lurking in the shadows ashamed and afraid to be equated with those pervs already outed.

Sexual Tension

Diane and Sam
Recently, the battle of the sexes has again taken center stage with the #MeToo  tsunami and the second March of the (anti-Trump) Pussy Hats. It does appear that women have the tempo advantage in this convoluted eternal conflict ... except for the Grammys where only one woman won a major  little gramophone statue.

But now women are worried that these wins are costing them in that men are increasingly unlikely to go to dinner or on a business trip with a female associate. Feminist are perplexed that they might be losing because they are winning. It is still a boy's club world and, until women can change their anatomy, they never will be fully satisfied with the score board tally.

Like the sexual tension in  that TV classic "Cheers" both genders are flawed to the point of humor. But the battle goes on to some ultimate winner. Which might that be? My money is on the females ... particularly since men's role in procreation will no longer be necessary ... not too far off. (This is when Sam will start drinking again.)

Gender Politics


Reading the Mostly Cajun blog yesterday, the comparison was made between the reigns of Ivan the Terrible and Barry the Pussy. This slight got me to thinking about how our national psyche has quickly flipped from female-oriented to male-oriented. Whatever he is, Donald Trump is not a wuss. In contrast, mot only did Obama seem reluctant to wear the pants in his family, but he constantly played the apologists for America's past assertiveness. Argue with this conclusion if you will, but Barack's sexuality often seemed more feminine than masculine. This was uncomfortable for many of our citizens.

Obama's movements often seemed dainty. His policies were frequently reserved instead of assertive. His instincts were often emotional instead of logical. These are typically thought of as feminine traits. And his end-of-term tilt toward transsexuals (bathrooms, Chelsea Manning commutation, allowing them in the Army, etc.) reinforced this perception among many voters. And Hillary's promise that she would continue to tilt the country further toward the X-X gender didn't help her electability IMHO.

Perhaps Trump won the nomination because he was the most masculine of the primary contestants ... and, although the gender-identification differential was not as great, the same could be said for the general election. In other words, bottom line, Hillary may have lost BECAUSE she was a she. To me, it seemed Americans wanted a more assertive administration and has certainly gotten it. Now, the "resistance" mania by the pussy-hatted females, metrosexuals and the #Metoo crowd reinforces this theme that it is a lot  about gender politics. It is crying out, "It was our turn, dammit!" ... not realizing that they had just had their  turm.
