Queery

If the author of Androphilia is wrong about the current social construction of gayness being inseparable from gender-bending effeminacy, how to explain the ubiquity of drag queens throughout gaydom?

Anonymous said...: I've thought this about the way the drag stuff is usually positioned at the end of gay events, as a finale. Pride parades, various parties, even (oddly) leather competitions. It's like how Thankgiving day parades end with the float with Santa Claus. Why set things up this way if you _don't_ really want to equate gay with effeminacy?

Toward Our Future

What the sons of Europa need is a new religion: one that is as tribal, portable and survivalist as Judaism, as masculine, terrestrial and tough as Islam and as intellectually and aesthetically creative as Christianity...with a dose of the unflinching realism of the ancestral ways of the Greeks and Romans, Germans and Celts and Slavs..And for the larger Indo-European frame, something of the Indian capacity to combine an ultimate and philosophical realization of The One with a robustly mytho-poetic religion on-the-ground. Oh, and some of the psychological acumen of Buddhism.

Liberalism's Basic Flaw

Liberals believe that the chief role of the State is to force everyone to be equal, (ie, take vengeance on the successful). So when they are confronted with any group that they deem less well off than themselves, they are morally disarmed, completely and utterly. Any group that can achieve Victim Status is on their way to power and the (White) liberal's only job is to give them what they want, no matter how much that damages him. And nothing may ever be expected, much less demanded, of them in return. It's a recipe for suicide: no other outcome is possible.
