In the last three weeks there have been two opinion pieces in the New York Times that, to me, acknowledge that the Left’s narrative is starting to become untenable.
The first is called, “Men, Where Have You Gone? Please Come Back.” is from a fifty-something divorced career woman bemoaning that men no longer are interested in bringing her out to expensive restaurants. She goes through this whole long description of a scene in one of these restaurants where all the patrons are women either in groups or alone and men aren’t present at all. We hear all about how men used to value escorting “high-status” women out into society to signal their own high status as the possessor of such a trophy. She finishes up with an embarrassing plea for all the good men to come back and be of service to her.
The second one is called, “Is It Time to Stop Snubbing Your Right-Wing Family?” and is by a woke loser who up until recently gave his brother-in-law the cold shoulder because he didn’t want a COVID vaccine. His disdain was palpable in his writing and the only reason he relented is because he wanted to take up surfing and his brother-in-law is an excellent surfer and was generous enough not to reciprocate his callous political snobbery. But the lefty snob makes the whole thing sound as if it’s his enlightened attitude that suddenly allowed him to lower himself to feigning friendship with his wife’s brother. And all the shots he takes at his brother-in-law. He’s only a lowly electrician while the writer is an Ivy League graduate and obviously part of the elite few. He ends by sagely noting that by sharing this surfing hobby he is opening up a space where he can interact with even someone as benighted as this ignorant tradesman, who also happens to be part of his family.
So, what do these two articles tell me about the current state of the Left. What it seems to signal to me is that the cancel culture they constructed to keep normal people out of their little echo chamber has worked a little too well. They’ve excluded all the normal people and they’re trapped inside with just the psychopaths that really believe the stuff they’ve been gaslighting the world with.
The women watched one season too many of “Sex and the City” and convinced themselves that they would always be in demand and men would be beating down the doors to squire them around Gotham City for the chance to have geriatric sex with them. So now instead of being a doting grandmother and spending her golden years with husband and family, she’s a lonely, frustrated single women hoping for some chump to show up and pick up the tab one last time before she checks out of the Hotel California. They kicked all the men out of their club because they didn’t need them. They could play girl boss and not need a man to be happy. That is until they stopped showing up.
The guy with the surfer electrician for a brother-in-law was the typical COVID cancel-culturist. He says, “Being unfriendly to people who turned down the vaccine felt like the right thing to do. How else could we motivate them to mend their ways? I wasn’t the only one thinking this. A 2021 essay for USA Today declared, “It’s time to start shunning the ‘vaccine hesitant.’” An L.A. Times piece went further, arguing that to create “teachable moments,” it may be necessary to mock some anti-vaxxers’ deaths.” Pretty close to that female pediatrician who mocked the Texas flood victims because they voted for Trump.
But now this Ivy League genius wants to add some human interest to his boring life and finds out that this rube related to his wife is accomplished at the thing that he wants to do. And on a dime, he switches on his “live and let live” mode and now we’re all just one big happy family! Funny how that happens after they lose a big election. Real funny.
So, the New York Times is hinting that maybe we should “all just get along.” It’s a funny thing about that. It’s almost like I don’t care anymore what they want. They tortured us for four years and called us everything under the sun. They did everything they could to force us to kowtow to COVID and trans-madness and there is no inflation and “Biden is sharp as a whip” and every other crazy thing they could think of. And now it’s, “let’s let bygones be bygones.” Yeah, I don’t think it’s gonna happen. We’re fresh out of “give a damn.”
I read the first article. Guaranteed this woman was of the “Who needs a man” sect when she was young and pretty. Men would date an expensive woman just to show off? Not in my experience. If you showed off it was with a house, car, boat or hunting trophy. Men have been told that we are not needed and not welcome for decades. We’ve been told that women fear our very presence (Some women would rather deal with a bear than a man) and that the only way to redeem ourselves is to act like women. To hell with… Read more »

In my case Camera Girl has taken a page from the movie “Land of the Pharaohs.” She is trying to arrange for me to be buried alive in her royal tomb. It’s very alarming for me. But I hate to disappoint her.
Love that movie. The engineering, the plot, Joan Collins in clingy, low cut dresses. One of my favorites.
Yes, that was the movie that proved the great acting abilities of Joan Collins. An enormous talent. Sitting, standing, walking and most especially running.
