Via Instapundit;

The feminization of higher ed — and of American society as a whole — is a large topic. Here I want simply to note that the repellent jelly of moral confusion that united all three responses was saturated by that feminization. None of those women could give a direct answer to a direct question about a matter of grave moral moment. Instead, they temporized, equivocated, dodged and parried.

Harvard is holding a board meeting today.

Update:

@realchrisrufo EXCLUSIVE: @RealChrisBrunet and I have obtained documentation demonstrating that Harvard President Claudine Gay plagiarized multiple sections of her Ph.D. thesis, violating Harvard’s policies on academic integrity.

Yes, it would appear so.

Embrace Hollywood!

“Democrats need to embrace Hollywood because this is where they need to come to learn how to tell a story.“ – Michael Moore.

“The Marvels” hit theaters over the weekend and had the distinct honor of having the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s worst all time opening weekend at the box office. The all woman led film featuring women super heroes combatting a female villain has been criticized, with many saying that the female forward film’s failure is due to it starring three women.

Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris and Iman Vellani led the film to box office disaster as it grossed just $47 million—the picture was expected to bring in well over that and had a budget of $300 million. Deadline had projected $140 million. It was intended as a sequel to Brie Larson’s “Captain Marvel” which grossed over a billion dollars in 2019.

The film’s casting choices earned it the reputation of being woke, though director Nia DaCosta said those criticisms are an “unnecessary distraction.” Film consultant David A Gross said “This opening is an unprecedented Marvel box office collapse.”

On crime, punishment, and the progressive flattening of values:

Flattening values, such that the criminal and their victims are somehow equal in moral worth, is a staple of progressive schtick. But it seems to me that the decision to try to steal someone’s dog is precisely how you know that that person’s wellbeing is of very low importance.

There follow some quite vivid examples of the schtick in question.

“Democrats need to embrace Hollywood because this is where they need to come to learn how to tell a story.“ – Michael Moore

As I reported last Friday, the irreverent and often hilarious show South Park took a swing at the infection of woke culture in the arts and took specific aim at Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy and Disney. The clips of the show alone went viral across the internet, sparking a very unwanted conversation for Disney about the direction it’s gone and the bad will it created with audiences.

But amid all the voices commenting about Disney, Carano’s words were the loudest as her post on X contained an insider’s look at, not just the state of Lucasfilm, but the terrible weakness and insecurity of its studio head, Kennedy […]

Carano revealed that, during her employment with Lucasfilm, she was asked to unfollow certain accounts on Twitter because they’d said some bad things about Kennedy. Carano saw this as an issue because she knew that being in the public eye meant getting haters, but Carano also saw these people as opportunities to win over new fans. Moreover, some of these “haters” were actual fans of Star Wars that felt the universe had gone in the wrong direction, and that their criticisms were worth listening to.

But Kennedy didn’t just ignore them, she actively had these fans attacked, causing one of the worst collapses of a fan base in history.

Mischief is important.

Having dismissed as tiresome the entire breadth and history of “white men ideas” – from Ptolemy to Babbage, Tesla to Solzhenitsyn, Turing to Shakespeare – these “white dudes” and their “so-called ‘knowledge’” – Ms Leung then makes clear the kinds of feedback she is willing to entertain:

“I still have some thinking to do around this topic, but curious to hear what others think. I’m less interested in hearing that you don’t buy it, so don’t bother with those types of comments.”

On an attempt to perfect humanity; on replacing natural history with aboriginal woo; on lesbianism by decree; and the history of ideas, as seen through the welding goggles of wokeness.

New, Improved Parenting

Forward! If Women Ran The World 3 Comments

By harnessing the untapped power of unrelatedness, diffused responsibility, and a total lack of attraction.

Readers are invited to ponder the appeal, for any gentleman with fatherhood in mind, of effectively becoming a sperm donor who is also expected to perform household chores, for many years, and to pay child maintenance. In a sexless relationship with random lesbians who may find him barely tolerable, a necessary complication. But this, it seems, is how one “redefines the family unit completely.” It’s “the ideal parenting setup.”

Why, yes, I have been reading the Guardian.
