From my column in Taki's Magazine:
A striking feature of post-1968 liberalism is its obsession with the problems of people who don’t really have major problems. While leftists of the past worried about the fate of coal miners or the unemployed, contemporary activists find more galvanizing the troubles, such as they are, of female students at the Harvard Business School.
I never went to Harvard, but my impression from attending a decent public B-School is that elite MBA students, male or female, have perhaps the fewest significant problems of any category of people imaginable. Still, since we’re living in the fallout of Team Obama’s decision to revive feminist resentments to turn out the vote, attention must be paid to HBS women’s oppression.
Thus, in “Harvard Business School Case Study: Gender Equity,” Jodi Kantor, a New York Times reporter and author of The Obamas, reports at length on the school administration’s experiment in micromanaging the social lives of Harvard MBA students to overcome that most pressing problem of our day: Women at HBS average lower grades than their male colleagues.

" Richard Dawkins Pedophilia Remarks Provoke Outrage "
ReplyDeletehttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/09/richard-dawkins-pedophilia_n_3895514.html
"In an interview in The Times magazine on Saturday (Sept. 7), Dawkins, 72, he said he was unable to condemn what he called "the mild pedophilia" he experienced at an English school when he was a child in the 1950s.
Referring to his early days at a boarding school in Salisbury, he recalled how one of the (unnamed) masters "pulled me on his knee and put his hand inside my shorts."
He said other children in his school peer group had been molested by the same teacher but concluded: "I don't think he did any of us lasting harm."
"I am very conscious that you can't condemn people of an earlier era by the standards of ours. Just as we don't look back at the 18th and 19th centuries and condemn people for racism in the same way as we would condemn a modern person for racism, I look back a few decades to my childhood and see things like caning, like mild pedophilia, and can't find it in me to condemn it by the same standards as I or anyone would today," he said.
He said the most notorious cases of pedophilia involve rape and even murder and should not be bracketed with what he called "just mild touching up.""
My recent insight- leftists are not socialists.
ReplyDeleteAnglophone leftists have supported the causes of blacks and women because it attacks the traditional power structure- macho and rural- but not urban workers, or only incidentally urban workers, because they need poor, helpless urban workers as servants. The same people that were shocked and horrified at enslaving black adults to do agricultural labor had no problem with enslaving small white boys to clean chimneys.
That supplying them with an unlimited number of poor, helpless servants can be framed as a civil rights issue is a dream come true for them.
Ah, the great civil rights campaign to get more stuff for upper middle class white women!
ReplyDeleteThat's the stuff of MLK's dream!
The gay marriage campaign was more of the same... a great civil rights campaign to get more stuff for the children of upper middle class whites professionals.
OT but there's a book coming out about how the murder of St Matthew Shepherd (pbuh) was some sort of sordid drug crime rather than a hate crime as we all thought:

For 24 hours we will be saying all those naughty things we "aren't allowed to say", all those ungoodthinking blasphemies against anti-racism, multiculturalism, critical theory, black liberation theology, political correctness, lesbian separatism, feminism, environmentalism and every liberal sacred cow. Join us on media matters dot org for 24 full hours of liberal butthurt.
This is a once in a lifetime event. Do NOT miss your chance to say all the things you've been dying to say, right to the liberals' faces. Help us drop a lulzbomb on the Great Satan. Contact everyone you know and tell them to stand up for what we believe in this September 11th by putting down everything liberals believe in.

ReplyDeletejust when is this million troll march happening ?
ReplyDeleteThe Left in the '80s was the least airheaded and the most populist that it's going to get. Here's a review, quoting major participants like Noam Chomsky, as well as showing the covers of the major left-wing magazines (Mother Jones, The Progressive, The Nation) to see what topics they pushed the most.
ReplyDeletehttp://akinokure.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-left-in-1980s-what-did-they-focus.html
They would've vomited at the idea of campaigning to boost the salaries of Harvard Business School students, male or female. Check out those magazine covers and notice how at-home a lot of us would feel with them... certainly compared to today's leftoids, but also compared to a lot of Republicans today, who are elitist rather than populist.
Even middle-of-the-road libs like Bob Geldof were organizing benefit concerts for famine relief in East Africa (Live Aid). Not airhead causes like homo marriage or putting a Prius in every garage.
It's bizarre how quickly leftist populism unraveled during the '90s. Look at how pathetic the mass response was to Pearl Jam taking on Ticket Master. Although you could say the same of right populism, peaking around '92-'94.
We need to talk more in terms of populist vs. elitist. That's more important than Democrat vs. Republican.

What a horrible choice of phrase! Whether or not Dawkins IS becoming progressively disinhibited - or simply finding that what he's always done is now being done in a nation of "Gotcha!" Masters who know nothing at all save the catechisms of their ANY MEANS NECESSARY marching orders to force upon the world some zoohouse mirror image of "social justice" - this is NOT going to end badly. One of the most optimistic whiffs we're receivong in the world is the increasingly ballsy honesty of people like Dawkins, Pinker, Harris and minions of less noteworthies.
I prsonally don't care nearly as much about the revolution against the Victimizer's National Religion as I do, the still unoperational, revolution of the poor against the rich (dunno if we have enough lampposts) but the revolution against what is currently called "Leftist" is underway and there are men (and some women) in its front ranks who refuse to back down or bend.
Dawkins is fantastic. (If you want to know how REALLY fantastic he is, watch some of his lengthier videos here http://www.youtube.com/user/dawkinschannel/videos specifically a 5 or 6 part series that he gave as an introduction to science to school aged kids some 30 years ago. The man isn't just another headline, he's a proper man.
"Why were sex differences more muted among MBAs three decades ago?"
ReplyDeleteThey were more muted among everybody. Rising-crime times don't feminize men but rather take women more out of the private/domestic sphere than they prefer during falling-crime times. Men are already adapted to the public sphere, so women come to resemble men a bit more as they spend less time in the domestic sphere.
The Roaring Twenties and the Go-Go Eighties were at similar points in the crime rate cycle -- at the final plateau before crime begins to plummet (during the mid-century and Millennial periods).
And sure enough, the '20s are another period commonly thought/known to feature women who chose to spend less time in the domestic sphere, and acculturate more to male norms as they joined the public sphere. Same with the career woman of the '80s.
I'm not sure that "sex differences" are the best way to view it. Women were very feminine in the '20s and '80s, but it just wasn't all va-va-voom, in-your-face, over-the-top assault of the female physique.
Like, these days as the article describes, women in their 20s, even 30s and 40s, dress to emphasize their physical assets, in a cold-blooded and calculating plan to capture a husband. That's no different from the tight pants, A-line skirts, tight sweaters, and bullet bras of the mid-century. Or the exaggeratedly thin waists and ample cleavage of the Victorian era.
In the Jazz Age, they didn't all dress like boys (a misconception), but they did move away from the pin-up girl / burlesque dancer presentation of their assets that the Victorians had pursued. They de-emphasized heaving bosoms and bulging bustles.
Same with the New Wave Age. Sure, unattached teenage girls might have worn tight jeans and tank tops with no bra, but once they entered the workplace, let alone married or had children, women totally changed their look. Career women and mothers in the '80s had somewhat loose-fitting pants, and very baggy blouses, sweaters, and jackets. They didn't give the slightest hint of the shape of their chest.
It was like, you've grown up and entered the workplace and are out-and-about in the public sphere. So you can't just go about flaunting your assets like a teenager looking for a hot date this weekend.
Today's zeitgeist (and the Victorian and mid-century) is more about va-va-voom and cynical manipulation of male libido. That's the strategy for someone who's main goal is on the domestic sphere.
The Jazz Age and New Wave Age was more about sowing your wild oats, but then showing restraint in your 20s, 30s, and 40s, in order to fit in to the community or team, rather than continue trying to make yourself the focus of attention. That comes from a more public sphere orientation.

Dawkins is an arrogant, alpha sort, the kind of very clever man who can be extremely stupid. I remember a Guardian America election column in 2004 which must have increased the Republican vote - he couldn't believe how stupid American Christian voters were and told them so.
ReplyDeleteNow he's upset people with his Hate Facts about Islam and Nobel prizes, then moves on to this. He think he's not getting any younger, there's no afterlife, why be shy about saying what you believe?
But - he'll go down as Watson did. The same people who gave him a platform to attack Christianity will cut him loose. He's served his purpose. He won't be the Grand Old Man, he'll be the embarrassing uncle with dementia.
deconstructingleftism,
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to know what to make of the modern (or post-modern or is it post-post-modern?) left. I do know that one hundred years ago I would have been a devout, maybe even bloodthirsty, leftist.
Back then the left actively embraced reality. Unlike today's leftists, they were solid on hbd issues. They may have been wrong about economics, but they were understandably wrong (given the general economic ignorance of the times, and the atrocious scaremongering of the moneyed elites).
Leftism/progressivism today, whatever its motives, is more or less applied insanity.
"In modern America, ages 27 to 29 are prime time to get engaged."

"It's bizarre how quickly leftist populism unraveled during the '90s."
ReplyDeleteGood Government (progressive politics) is diametrically opposed to a race and gender based spoils system, which is where the left has been going for the last generation. To white people it means transparent, well managed, objectively measurable programs that everyone benefits from. Good government for blacks and women means transferring as much of the National wealth to them as possible. Liberalism will be the death of good government.
Anglophone leftists have supported the causes of blacks and women because it attacks the traditional power structure- macho and rural- but not urban workers, or only incidentally urban workers, because they need poor, helpless urban workers as servants.
ReplyDeleteAlong time ago a disaffected working-class Brit offered the observation that "the Labour Party only cares about you if you're young, or old, or peculiar".
If you stop and think about it, public policy is reflexively antagonistic to the interests of non-exotic wage-earning men, as is much of mass-entertainment, as are the general assumptions that HR departments make. Consider:
1. The content and administration of matrimonial and family law
2. The evolution of basic schooling and vocational schooling (notably the expense and escalating padding).
3. Immigration law and practice
4. Aspects of labor law and recruitment and training practice (see point 2 as well)
5. The assumptions governing welfare policy from about 1958 to 1996
6. The professional ideologies of the mental health and social work trade (see point 1).
7. The dispositions and behavior of clergy.
8. The attitude toward public order manifest between about 1958 and 1980 (and residually today).

The world we live in is more affluent than it was a generation ago or two generations ago, but there are all sorts of impediments and pitfalls there did not used to be for the ordinary man who wants to build a life and not just drink and screw (and less recognition for just being an ordinary husband, father, and worker). And who has done this to us? The legal profession, for the most part, and the higher education apparat, and the politicians drawn from these loci and responsive to them.

Matthew Sheppard, wasn't he that guy from Glee?
ReplyDeleteDawkins is a fine writer and a fine theorist but he is annoying about atheism. But here he has for once done the public a service.
ReplyDeleteChild molestation is not now and never has been much of a problem. Lurid Hollywood movies show molested boys forever damaged by being diddled by some old queen. There is no evidence for this. Kids are more likely to be traumatized by not being chosen for the school yard baseball team.
Young girls often experience old men rubbing up against them in crowds. That's not admirable or attractive but it isn't damaging either.
But if we really think male homosexuals hurt little boys permanently why don't we just kill them? Certainly there is no cure for pederasty. If you want the casual child molesters off the streets you will have to lock them in a cage for their entire lives. How compassionate is that?
In a state of nature a father whose son has been molested should just beat the snot out of the molester. But we civilized types aren't allowed those kind of remedies. Beating up a molester doesn't cure him, it just directs him toward the sons of less motivated fathers. Nowadays we have to confine ourselves to socially responsible actions that consider the interests of all participants. That's why capitol punishment is appropriate for child molesters - not because the crime is so bad but because there is little else we can do that has any permanent effect.
Dawkins is something of an asshole but I don't think it had anything to do with having been touched as a kid. Remember just a generation ago homosexuality was the "love that dare not speaks its name". Being gay was an odious condition whereas children were molested casually by the parish priest. Also remember that homosexuality will be cured quite soon and that should dry up at least some of the supply of child molesters.

Ms. Ravitch's career is a study in extremism. It shows what happens to a smart, well-meaning person whose liberal orthodoxy is so entrenched they can't use their functional intelligence. She's been flopping around from extreme to extreme, incapable of admitting some hard truths about American students and population genetics.
Confession: I did not realize "Ms." Ravitch was a lesbian; I thought she was still married to Richard Ravitch.
PS Her father's name was Walter Cracker Silvers. I kid you not. His middle name was Cracker.

PPS I wonder if her domestic life has anything to do with her policy swings.
It would be interesting to compare business schools with law schools and med schools. Business school students are 5 years older, so they have both the maturity and experience to know that it's tough to find a good husband or wife, and that that's more important than your next of many jobs.

I'm not sure today's zeitgeist is comparable to that of the Victorian Age or mid-20th century America.
Also during the Jazz Age, most of the US population was rural. Flapper girls weren't representative of most women and they weren't in the "public sphere" to work. Women in the 80s entered the "public sphere" to work because they were forced to work by social and economic changes in the 60s and 70s that reduced the social status of men and made it more difficult for men to afford marriage.
"It’s been over three decades since I earned an MBA (UCLA, ’82), so don’t rely upon my advice, but job interviewers back then quickly got the message across that boasting about grades was bumptious. (And when you finally get a job, it turns out your boss isn’t interested in your GPA at all.)"
ReplyDeleteHigh school was even worse, especially if you went to college later in life. I rebelled in high school and barely graduated. I later went on to get acceptance letters from Univ. of Illinois, Chicago, Purdue, and Roosevelt University when I finally went to college. I graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science and have had a great career as a data analyst and also moonlight as a columnist in several small town newspapers. Nobody ever asked how I did in high school, nobody ever asked if I even went to high school! As far as they know I could have dropped out in 3rd grade!
At the Southern school where I got my MBA in the 90s, women were about 30% of the class, cohort was about 250. There were about two couples, one of them pre-existing, though fluid dating. Nothing serious.

Harvard promptly moved to change grading criteria so that women with same scores will have the same grades.

There is a follow up article on HBS in the NYT. It's all about class being overwhelmingly important there over even the horrible sexism of the previous article. They spend half the article saying it reflects negatively on how class driven American society has become. Then they mention almost as a throwaway sentence that most of the class based exclusion-ism is the result of male, international students, primarily from South America and the Middle East. So, in other words, it isn't a reflection of American society, but the international society that Harvard recruits from.

ReplyDeleteFrom an essay by George Orwell critiquing James Burnham's "The Mangerial Revolution" published in 1946 (Burnham shows far greater prescience than Orwell in the long run.):
"A more normal variant [of power worship prevalent among intellectuals], at any rate in England, is Communism. If one examines the people who, having some idea of what the Russian régime is like, are strongly russophile, one finds that, on the whole, they belong to the ‘managerial’ class of which Burnham writes. That is, they are not managers in the narrow sense, but scientists, technicians, teachers, journalists, broadcasters, bureaucrats, professional politicians: in general, middling people who feel themselves cramped by a system that is still partly aristocratic, and are hungry for more power and more prestige. These people look towards the U.S.S.R. and see in it, or think they see, a system which eliminates the upper class, keeps the working class in its place, and hands unlimited power to people very similar to themselves. It was only after the Soviet régime became unmistakably totalitarian that English intellectuals, in large numbers, began to show an interest in it. Burnham, although the English russophile intelligentsia would repudiate him, is really voicing their secret wish: the wish to destroy the old, equalitarian version of Socialism and usher in a hierarchical society where the intellectual can at last get his hands on the whip. Burnham at least has the honesty to say that Socialism isn’t coming; the others merely say that Socialism is coming, and then give the word ‘Socialism’ a new meaning which makes nonsense of the old one."
