Looks like the liberation of Indian women from stultifying cultural and religious traditions will be fought, not with outdated boring translated feminist texts from the West, but in colorful bikinis on the shapely. Models VS militants. Speaking of Indian women struggling against the oppressively maddening paradigms of traditions you might want to check out a 2009 documentary Love in India or, for example, the novel Miss India.

Rihanna bares breast in nature: but good news, blindness in the innocent was averted
Posted: September 28, 2011 in Culture, Current events, Psychology, ReligionTags: Rihanna
Lo and behold, almighty ones, Rihanna goes topless on farmer’s field while shooting video and causes rift in the fabric of existence. The stilted old farmer then came upon the scene of corruption on his land and disrupted filming and ordered the sexy singer off in the name of God. Nudity of course cannot be tolerated; it can cause blindness in innocent beholders (though God was merciful in this case; there were no incidents of reported blindness or sudden outbreaks of severe acne). Staring at bare breasts can also, so it is said, cause auto-ejaculation in crazy old cogs who have never experienced the fleshier aspects of the natural world (except maybe for a cow’s milky udder), or at least can’t remember. Here.
Just read Fairbank’s China: A New Hist. There’s a section on footbinding of women which was essentially the disfigurement of women’s feet (Han Chinese anyway) to satisfy a man’s foot fetish for ‘golden lillies. It was almost as grotesque or maybe just as grotesque as Islamic genital mutilation. It started in the tenth century and was still visible up to the 1930s. From about 5 to around 15 a girl’s feet were bound in such a way so that the front or side of the foot would bend toward the heel, looking at that point more like a kind of weird hoof (how they got ‘golden lilly’ out of that is beyond my fetish imagination). Women would never run again, or even be able to walk properly; I guess it was a surefire way of keeping your women at home Anyway here’s a picture from an exhibit on the subject in Taiwan.

A shantytown murder (the way of the crowd)
Posted: June 3, 2011 in Crime, Culture, Current eventsTags: Murder
“…As the restless mob milled about, a 26-year-old Zimbabwean immigrant named Farai Kujirichita emerged from one of the narrow passageways that led to the field. He was wearing a carefully pressed, lilac-colored shirt and talking into his cellphone. By then, many people were coming and going; his arrival was nothing remarkable. And yet some men from the crowd confronted him…” Here. Btw, the fact that this murder took place in Africa is not the point; crowd mentality could produce this anywhere (as it often has here in the Grand Banana Republic with lynchings and mob attacks, for example.)

What we learned about Japanese society from an earlier earthquake
Posted: March 12, 2011 in CultureTags: Earthquakes, Japan
“…Japan’s orderliness and civility often impressed me during my years living in Japan, but never more so than after the Kobe quake. Pretty much the entire port of Kobe was destroyed, with shop windows broken all across the city. I looked all over for a case of looting, or violent jostling over rescue supplies. Finally, I was delighted to find a store owner who told me that he’d been robbed by two men. Somewhat melodramatically, I asked him something like:And were you surprised that fellow Japanese would take advantage of a natural disaster and turn to crime? He looked surprised and responded, as I recall: Who said anything about Japanese. They were foreigners…”–Nicholas Kristof in the NY Times.

Good news for women and children in the UAE (sort of)
Posted: October 19, 2010 in Culture, Current eventsYes, behold the joy. The Islamic United Arab Emirates’s highest Islamic court has ruled that women and children cannot be beaten so badly as to leave marks. In the Islamic world this could actually be considered a step upward (I mean, compare it to stoning). Tourists: keep in mind that if you’re a woman (and/or a child) just visiting the UAE this same Islamic rule will apply to you; you’re husband will be allowed to slap you silly (you’ll have to wait till you get back home to beat him). Here (The Daily Mail).
Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany has said her country’s attempts to build a post-war multicultural society have ‘utterly failed’. Welcome to reality. Despite a tolerant sounding name (and we all admire tolerance) you simply cannot maintain a civilized society by allowing each cultural group (Islam, for example, certainly the most audacious group) to have its own laws (in the case of Islam, for example, sharia law).

“Recently the Australian Curriculum Studies Association and the University of Melbourne’s Centre of Excellence for Islamic Studies issued a booklet, “Learning From One Another: Bringing Muslim Perspectives into Australian Schools,” which maintains that “every Australian school student would be taught positive aspects about Islam and Muslims — and that Australia is a racist country.” Here. Of course, in the mother-of-all-multiculturalism. the U.S., they’re already implementing this perspective in some schools. Here.
I think someone should point out to such severely blind-sided multiculturalists that pushing Islam is also, simultaneously, pushing Sharia law, which is intrinsic to the Muslim view. Sharia law as, for example, practiced in Iran and under the taliban, calls for the killing of gays and the stoning of adulterers.

Today’s political correctness: we keep getting closer to 1984 (make that 2050)

I mean the reports keep coming in. Here’s a few more little pieces of the big picture. Extrapolate, people, extrapolate..:
Item: “Project Vigilant is clearly nothing less than a government controlled attack dog fulfilling its role to implement the cybersecurity agenda, which…has nothing to do with security and everything to do with political oppression, Chinese style Internet censorship, and the total evisceration of free speech on the world wide web…” Here and here.
Item: “Minority Report” billboards. Here.
Item: “…Those who understand the exploitative nature of big government suspected that the U.S. response to the 9/11 attacks had little to do with the security of the American people and much to do with power and money. Still, the magnitude of the scam, as revealed by the Washington Post last week, is astonishing…” Here.
Political correctness, newspeak. Of course in the great handbook of 1984 we have the temporal perameters: “Newspeak was the official language of Oceania and had been devised to meet the ideological needs of Ingsoc, or English Socialism. In the year 1984 there was not as yet anyone who used Newspeak as his sole means of communication, either in speech or writing. The leading articles in the Times were written in it, but this was a tour de force which could only be carried out by a specialist. It was expected that Newspeak would have finally superseded Oldspeak (or Standard English, as we should call it) by about the year 2050. Meanwhile it gained ground steadily, all Party members tending to use Newspeak words and grammatical constructions more and more in their everyday speech. The version in use in 1984, and embodied in the Ninth and Tenth Editions of the Newspeak Dictionary, was a provisional one, and contained many superfluous words and archaic formations which were due to be suppressed later. It is with the final, perfected version, as embodied in the Eleventh Edition of the Dictionary, that we are concerned here…” –The Principles of Newspeak

Aisha, 18, depicted on the cover above, “was dragged from her home by the Taliban after running away from her husband. Despite her pleas that her in-laws had been abusive, that they treated her like a slave, that she had no choice but to escape, a Taliban commander said that she must be punished, lest other girls in the village try to do the same thing. Aisha’s family members carried out the punishment: her brother-in-law held her down while her husband sliced off her ears and nose, then left her to die. She is now hidden in a secret women’s shelter, where she was taken after receiving care from U.S. forces.” Incredibly, after all these years we’ve been in Afghanistan this sort of thing is still widespread (here.).
