• Obama’s Comment

  For the first time ever, I am actually going to defend Obama.  I still think he is the greatest human disaster to ever hit this country, that he’s a fraud, and that he is working for the New World Order, but in this case he didn’t do anything wrong and the people criticizing him need to shut it.

  Of course I am talking about his comment regarding Kamala Harris, the Attorney General of the PRC:

  You have to be careful to, first of all, say she is brilliant and she is dedicated and she is tough, and she is exactly what you’d want in anybody who is administering the law, and making sure that everybody is getting a fair shake. She also happens to be by far the best-looking attorney general in the country — Kamala Harris is here. (Applause.) It’s true. Come on. (Laughter.) And she is a great friend and has just been a great supporter for many, many years.

  So a lot of people on the left have their panties in a knot over this comment, and are calling it sexist.  They are also referring to the comment as a gaffe.  Typically I would not jump into a left on left quarrel, but this sort of thing is a symptom of a deep and widespread problem in this country, and by that I am talking about a certain matriarchal ideology which has established an unpleasant social double standard in favor of women. 

  First of all, there is nothing wrong with Obama saying that she is attractive or the most attractive Attorney General.  Here is the person in question:

  

  She could very well be the most attractive female Attorney General in the country.  Of course that doesn’t mean she is someone I would support.  Given that she’s an Obama supporter from California she is part of the opposing team as far as I am concerned, but still, Obama didn’t do anything wrong by complimenting her, and the compliment probably made her feel good. 

  The woman is good looking, and even if she’s not then it’s still Obama’s opinion and he’s entitled to it.  The comment was not sexist, nor is it a “gaffe.”  Just because the extreme left calls it a gaffe or doesn’t like how it sounds doesn’t mean it’s a blunder.  I’m tired of hearing how something is a “gaffe” when it is just a flat statement of reality.  The extreme left needs to leave off the panties and start wearing boxers, that way their panties won’t be getting into a knot. 

  If the genders had been reversed, and Obama were a woman giving the same compliment to a man then I guarantee the femanazi’s wouldn’t have uttered a peep about sexism.  Nor would there have been a stir on the left.  I have noticed that in general, it’s OK for women to assess men based on their looks and make comments, and they need not fear being called sexist or accused of sexual harrasment, but if a man does the same thing, all of a sudden he’s sexist, he’s “objectifying women,” and he might even be involved in sexual harrasment. 

  Feminists are in rebellion of the fact that not all women are equally attractive, and that the primary factor by which men choose to pursue or dismiss a woman is usually her looks.  Too bad.  Men assess women based on looks, and women assess men based on MONEY and (to a lesser degree) looks.  Not all women are equally attractive, and the more diverse the country becomes the harder it is going to be for the majority of women to conform to a general beauty standard. 

  Not every woman is universally marketable, not every woman is beautiful, and not every woman is equally appealing to all men.  No amount of pretending, brow beating, wishful thinking, censorship, and accusations of sexism is going to make that fantasy into reality.  Reality is what it is regardless of whose feelings get hurt.  Reality does not end where your feelings begin, and neither do anyone’s rights. 

  The good news, however, is that men and women are roughly equal in numbers.  So there are about as many ugly and mediocre men as there are ugly and mediocre women.  The problem is that so many women want to be equally recognized and validated by alpha men.  Most women have a princess fantasy, and, unfortunately, alpha men are in limited supply, just like beautiful women are also in limited supply.  You can argue that it’s not fair for alpha men to exclusively select the most attractive women, but I could argue that it’s not fair for you to have a minimum income or education standard for men.  That means, if you are a 30 year old woman making 100,000 a year you can’t automatically reject the 28 year old retail associate making 10,000 a year, because that’s not fair to him, and it’s sexist.  That would be objectifying the man, and he’s a person too.  All men are equal and deserve equal consideration, and you have to be blind to inequalities because reality ends where their feelings begin.  Right?  Is that fair?  Or is that completely stupid and unreasonable?  It’s the same argument.

  Also, the notion that women advance based on their looks is utter bollox.  More attractive women have extra difficulties in the workplace because of female jealousy.  When it comes to the work place environment good looks help men more than women.  Good looks don’t help women with the job, they help women when it comes to attracting a powerful mate.
