Playing on hypergamy

Once you know how female tickers tick, it's not difficult to start them ticking. And it is those who are running cons of their own that are the most vulnerable to being conned:

With his wealth, glamorous lifestyle and friends in high places, Jonathan Price probably seemed too good to be true. Unfortunately for the women who fell for his charms, that�s exactly  what he was. The serial conman posed as a rich �sugar daddy� to trap a string of professional women and fleece them for tens of thousands of pounds....

He now faces jail after pleading guilty to fraud totalling �180,000 � leaving three women and their parents without their life savings. Price, from Darlington, told his unsuspecting targets that he had vast sums of money in offshore accounts and was suffering from terminal cancer.  His victims included Davina Ward, 32, who runs a florist business in Bournemouth, and Sarah Giles, 39, who worked as a manager at a gun retailer in London. His third victim, a high-flying executive in her 30s who cannot be named, became his wife and was pregnant with his child when he was arrested last May.

Notice how much attractive the one woman pictured is in comparison with the fat, older con man.  The "terminal cancer" was a particularly nice touch; all three women no doubt assumed that they'd only have to grit their teeth and suffer his attentions for a year or so, after which time they'd be set for life.

It's also significant that all three women were relatively ambitious and successful.  The more materialistic a woman is, the easier it is to play her without even trying.  Intelligence is no defense, because the combination of high IQ and materialism only means that her rationalization hamster is going to be that much more capable of producing credible excuses for any perceived inconsistencies between the desired perception and the reality.

I was at a nightclub in Roppongi one night after a female friend had happened to stick a shiny woman's circular broach in my jacket lapel earlier that evening.  I have no idea why she did that; alcohol was involved.  I didn't care, I just left it there. Now, this right around the time that the Billionaire Boys Club was in the news due to the murder trial and the TV miniseries, so when a women in the club came up to me and asked what the thing in my lapel was, I said it was a BBC pin.

"BBC, like, in England?"
"No, Billionaire Boys Club.  It's just this investment thing."

The response was like getting hit by a tidal wave of pretty young women.  My two friends were just about dying with laughter, but they were top-flight wingmen; they took the ball and ran with it.  Now, keep in mind that the Billionaire Boys Club was a) a notorious Ponzi scheme, b) defunct, and c) already exposed in every possible way by the mainstream media.  No matter.  It was something that these women had vaguely heard of as having something to do with fame and money, and it amounted to setting off some sort of nuclear tingle bomb.

Lesson: a man doesn't have to be rich for women to believe that he is a rich man and respond accordingly.  Those who desperately want to believe something will believe everything that supports the desired story and ignore everything that contradicts it.  And those who say a woman "is only attracted to a man for his wealth" are failing to recognize they are expressing a tautology, because women are very sexually attracted to wealth, or rather, the perception of it.

The next time you're tempted to white-knight

You would do well to keep this sort of thing in mind:

Philip, a polite and quietly spoken 26-year-old father-of-one, was plucked out of the blue by a total stranger who spotted his picture on the social networking site and decided to falsely accuse him of rape. In an act of inexplicable viciousness, 31-year-old fantasist Linsey Attridge chanced upon a photograph of Philip and his then 14-year-old brother James and used it to back up a story she�d concocted. She�d done it, apparently, in order to win some sympathy with her boyfriend, when she feared his affections were waning....

It was only two weeks ago that Linsey, a single mother, appeared at Aberdeen Sheriff Court, where she admitted a charge of wasting police time. And her punishment for a callous deceit that besmirched the names of two innocent young men? A risible 200 hours of community service and a social services supervision order.

Women not only lie about rape, but women USUALLY lie about rape.  The "rape culture" that feminists and their white knights decry exists; but only in the parts of the West where third worlders have been permitted to reside.  And the more sympathy that real rape victims are given, the more women who have not been raped crave to get in on that dramatic action.

The statistics are unambiguous.  Most rape accusations are false, by which I do not mean that they are he said-she said cases that may or may not be genuine but unprovable, but are either exposed as false by the evidence gathered or admitted to be false by the accuser.  So, the next time a woman tearfully recounts the terrible awful story of her rape for your wide-eyed and sympathetic benefit, keep in mind that she is probably making the whole thing up because she wants to be the focus of attention.

And if you want to have some fun with such a fantasist, just pretend to take her very seriously and insist on driving her to the police so that she can report the "crime".  The degree to which she demurs is the degree to which you can be confident she is concocting fiction.

Your definition of consent is different than mine!

That is what a feminist looks like....

Equality and entrepeneurialism

Say what you will about the public school system, but at least they are teaching girls that they can not only do the jobs that men historically did, but that they can start their own businesses too:

An 18-year-old Hopkins High School senior cheerleader allegedly used her sophomore teammate as a prostitute, according to a criminal complaint filed in Hennepin County. Montia Marie Parker, 18, of Maple Grove was arrested on one count of second-degree felony sex trafficking, and one count of felony solicitation, inducement and promotion of prostitution.

Sure, she might need a lecture or two on the relevant state laws, but isn't this exactly the liberation from the rule of men that feminists have been seeking for the last 40 years?

The real Warrior Women

Unsurprisingly, it turns out that putting young women in the military does not turn them into stone cold killers that are just like men only deadlier.  It seems that they still play dress up, pose, and put their assets on display to attract male attention, only with military gear instead of makeup kits.

Funny how one never seems to read about this sort of thing in any of the military SF that was published over the last 40 years.  Let's face it, not only is the Warrior Woman a fictional concept, these "soldiers" are far more likely to fall on their backs before the enemy than shoot at him.

Women commit most domestic violence

Even the studies cited by feminists to blame men for domestic violence reveal as much:

Take domestic violence, for example. It is almost universally portrayed as though the perpetrators are men. Indeed, in 1989 the Canadian Journal Of Behavioural Science published the results of a survey that was celebrated as a classic expos� of �battered wives�, and was taken up as proof of typical male perfidy.

However, two years later the Journal acknowledged a different side to the story after the data had been re-analysed. While 10.8 per cent of the men surveyed had pushed, grabbed or thrown objects at their spouses, 12.4 per cent of women had done so too. And although 2.5 per cent of men used serious violence, so did 4.7 per cent of women.

Marilyn Kwong, who carried out the new analysis, also examined eight other studies and found the pattern was universal. Inconvenient facts had been cut out.

I would go so far as to argue that given the redefinition of sexual assault to mean "sexual contact to which express consent has not been given", women also commit the majority of sexual assaults.  I have been groped, on the chest, posterior, or genitals, without giving express consent, by at least 10x more women than I have ever touched myself.

When facing spurious feminist assertions, punch back twice as hard.  When you hear an appeal to domestic violence justifying one form or another of the Female Imperative, remind your interlocutor that as per the Canadian Journal of Behavioral Science, women commit nearly two-thirds, (65.3 percent), of serious domestic violence.

Exactly backwards

Someone needs to explain where babies come from to the distinguished Representative from the great State of Illinois:

"Our survival as a species is dependent on women taking charge,� Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) told a gathering at a campaign fundraiser earlier this month.

It's rather remarkable that she should be able to get it so precisely backward.  Our survival as a species is actually dependent upon women having and raising children, two activities which are almost perfectly inversely related to "taking charge".

A feminist success story

Sure, she died alone, an evolutionary dead end, unlamented and unnoticed under her Che Guevara posters, but the important thing is that she had a Masters degree, she blazed a trail for thousands of childless American spinsters who will die similarly alone, and most importantly, she even managed to avoid being devoured by cats.

Barbara Salinas-Norman was a Chicana activist, a bilingual teacher, an author, a publisher and an artist. She was �intelligent,� �inspiring,� a �trailblazer.� But her life had begun to unravel, and this once well-connected woman apparently died alone in her Santa Fe home, where her body lay undiscovered for several months behind an unlocked door. Her decomposed remains were found Monday at the Zia Vista Condominiums on Zia Road.  Police originally speculated that Salinas had been dead since October, but family and friends said Friday they thought the 70-year-old might have died long before that � a year or more ago. 

Salinas� body was discovered by her brother-in-law, Louis Ponce, who said Friday that he had become concerned about her because he hadn�t heard from her for a long time....  On Monday, the couple drove to Santa Fe to check on Salinas at Zia Vista and found her body lying in a filthy living room. She was lying near a favorite poster, a takeoff on Rosie the Riveter. This version shows Rosie as a skeleton, with a red cloth on her head and her arm raised in a fist under the caption, �S�, Se Muere!� Yes, we die....

Though she was troubled, Trujillo said, �she was very intelligent,� and they became friends. Sometimes they went to the movies. Salinas was especially fond of the movie Eat Pray Love and its star, Javier Bardem. �She was so passionate about the movie. That was her dream story,� Trujillo said. 

Shed no tears for Ms Salinas-Norman.  Her dream was to divorce her husband and she lived the dream, not once, but twice!  Sic semper feminnis....
