One of the horrendous mistakes of feminism consists in advocating the view that the attitude which women have toward sex should, in all respects, be no different from the attitude that men have toward sex. Of course, women should love sex just as men should. Alas, what does not—and cannot—follow from this is that the attitude of women should, in all respects, be identical to the attitude of men with regard to sex. We have nothing other than a form of schizophrenia on the part of women when they attempt to embrace the view that, with regard to sex, they are no more than men with a different part. The relevance of all this to the Hofsta University case of the false accusation of rape by Danmoll Ndoyne is that precisely what we see is the schizophrenia on her part. It is not possible for a psychologically healthy woman to take her body seriously and, at the very same time, want to participate in an orgy. There is no set of considerations that will make what she does analogous to having an erection and then ejaculating.
On the one hand, Nodyne wanted to have sex with several men. This desire occasioned here participating in the orgy. On the other, she did not want to be seen as a woman who is indifferent to the very make-up of a woman’s body. This desire occasioned the false accusation of gang-rape. It was an attempt to “redeem” herself. Continue reading →

It is appalling that the weekly Newsweek would publish an article, “See Baby Discriminate” (14 September 2009) suggesting that very young children are apt to be racist.  The report is based upon experiments conducted by Brigitte Vittrup at the Children’s … Continue reading →

A mother’s initial investment far surpasses a father’s initial investment. At the very beginning, both are equal: one egg; one sperm. Then with incredible rapidity the investment of the mother far exceeds the investment of the father. The child develops in her body and she puts her life on the line in bringing the baby into the world. It is owing to this difference that the story Sophie’s Choice is done in terms of the mother rather than the father. The Nazi asks the mother to choose which one of her two sons shall live and which one shall die. Instinctively, intuitively, and at a most profound visceral level, we automatically understand the mother’s angst. With a father, the very same sentiments on our part do not get off the ground in a like manner; and this difference is owing to none other than the striking difference that between a mother and a father in terms of the role they play in bringing a child into this world.

Surely, Mr. Carter does not suppose that if Obama were white, then everyone—especially whites folks—would be entirely supportive of Obama’s views regarding the way in which healthcare should be revamped in the United States. Mr. Obama has put forward some quite radical proposals. And guess what? There are lots of people who do not like them and they want to make it known that they do not. There is a term for this kind of exchange: It is called a democracy. Alas, it is arguable that Mr. Carter himself is being rather patronizing towards Mr. Obama; and unless I am quite mistaken about things, patronizing behavior on the part of a white towards a blacks can be countenanced as racist.

With respect to minorities, especially, and blacks in particular, what President Obama majestically maintains is that it is far more important to have an investment in getting ahead than it is to have an investment in playing the race card. After all, if all it takes to derail a black is the slightest amount of racism, this is to give the enemy far too much power. Only a conservative in need of lobotomy can disagree with that. And judging from the reaction of some conservatives to the President Obama’s speech on education, a lobotomy is precisely what they need. Continue reading →

I claim that technology is “unwittingly undermining” trust because it is most unlikely that any supposed that trust between lovers would diminish as a result of technology. I do not claim that trust has diminished between all lovers. I merely claim that this is so in a great many cases. Continue reading →

In its opposition to whites adopting black children, consistency requires that the National Association of Black Social Workers (NABSW) be against Asians adopting black children and blacks adopting Asian children or even white children. Accordingly, the NABSW stands as the poster organization for Emerson’s observation that “Foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds”. Continue reading →
