jyi # 78A Women Rule The World (AND THEY'RE DOING A PRETTY SHITTY JOB)

The feminine (x), through the collective feminine (all the x-es in women [xx] and men [xy]), rules the world. But the feminine, woman, does so through men. When men are not being men, but -like today- ever-lazier, irresponsible, effeminate and emasculated, you can bet that the collective feminine is at work. Both reacting against such and causing it to worsen -by making women try to become men and making more men and women "become" gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders and worse- for its own purposes.. The GLAAD... group (along with ALL men and women, to a greater or lesser degree) can well be termed -in today's politically correct terms- sexual-identity challenged.
Below is a continuation of a sub-series on my blog (jewsyonkersislamiii-tc.blogspot.com) : women-sex-nudity
Further below are comments on today's news and some articles, AS I HAVE EDITED THEM , including some excerpts from my journal, my blog or my musings of more than a few years ago. And a critique of today's news

WHAT ARE WE DOING ? WHAT IS GOING ON ? THERE ARE ALWAYS AT LEAST TWO SIDES TO EVERY ISSUE, INCLUDING -SECOND BY SECOND- IN POLITICS. BUT I SUBMIT THAT WHEN THE SURVIVAL OF THE HUMAN RACE IS AT ISSUE, AS IT IS TODAY, THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE SIDE - THAT OF SURVIVAL. AND ALL OTHERS MEAN NOTHING
New York Times (NYT), A14, B1 In the US, the states of Illinois...are facing imminent bankruptcy as the feminists and faggots continue their rot and nonsense. "Exports mask weakness in Germany" yet even they, its "manufacturing (sector, are) slowing".
NYT, B9, A26, A17, Journal News (JN) 8A Europe's "airline emissions law" is contested by world nations when it should be adhered to. ALL nations should cease using oil, gas, coal... In the US, the "Job-creating mercury rule" should be upheld, but the despicable oil, gas, coal...companies are buying our politicians right and left, in effect hastening the extinction of the human race. "Judge's ruling (for)...same-sex couples" is another example of the fact that the law, lawyers and the legal profession are all asses, corrupted by feminist-faggot filth rot, shallowness, selfishness, excess, short-term fell-good nonsense, excesses of all kinds (including civil rights and "equality" bullshit)... As for the poll that determined that the "political outlook is bleak" for all current politicians but that "optimism" on the economy is up, I spit on all polls and pollsters. Someone once said that a Grand Jury would indict a hamburger. But I say that polls tell everybody what the pollsters want them to say.

MY JOURNAL/BLOG Book reviews...
"Destination Void" "Consciousness", what is it ? As I see it, we each have our limited human consciousness minds and there is the 'eternal' present consciousness of which our minds are part although such is not conscious to "normal" people (although such IS conscious to all "normal" Traumatic Brain Injury [TBI] survivors like me). As I noted, "consciousness is part of the sea of the unconscious", what I would term 'eternal' present consciousness, the collective feminine plus...
"Philosophical Meditations - The Examined Life" "Synergy" is similar to "synchronicity". "Extended peace makes you (all Americans) dull" -and feminist-faggot prone as we are today. ALL "premises (stability-producing definitions) are inertia (political correctness and) dulling. The difference between the sense world and the physical world is that between time distance and space distance. Bypassing "verbal/analytical awareness" one encounters non-conscious awareness, a SOC (state of consciousness) that all TBI survivors, like myself, are dumped in after -and as one result of- their TBI, a lifelong SOC. "All conscious awareness is after the fact". "Field Theory" is about the source of an experience, the experiencer and the relationship between them The "keys to the gate of consciousness are symbolic (language and communication based)". In the West we wonder "what comes after death". In Zen, you wonder "what comes after awakening". "Sometimes the best possible move is a dangerously poor move that changes the entire theoretical structure of the game". That is exactly what I did after the legal profession threw me out for attacking its corrupted feminist-faggot biases in 1991. Indeed, instead of stopping attacking the legal profession, I included American, Western and World society in my continuing attacks. PSI-IN-ACTION I call them because they included acting, singing, satire, poetry...my speaking and acting in and before NYS courts, the Yonkers City Council, Westchester County Board of Legislators, the Mount Vernon City Council, the Morton Downey TV show (1993)...are all matters of public record - including in newspapers. As are my criminal jury trials in the Bronx and Westchester where I was sole defense counsel. Anyhow, I continued my PSI-IN-ACTION attacks from 1991 until 2008 when I was thrown in prison for continuing to do so. Then I became free -of necessity- to seek the kind of help I needed (full leg braces) to try and rebalance my twisted musculo-skeletal system. As "words are (also) acts", larger "balancing acts ride the wave of consciousness". As I have been allowing a certain "persona" of mine "to ride the wave of consciousness" as part of a larger "balancing act" ( PSI-IN-ACTION) for more than 30 years, the results will be interesting. What happens now is anyone's guess..

- 40 percent of Irish people have had an affair (NOT ONLY CAN SURVEYS NOT BE TRUSTED BUT THE FEMINISTS AND FAGGOTS USE THEM TO JUSTIFY THEIR PERVERSITIES)
Poll also shows that only 70 percent of Irish believe in God
By

A survey carried out on behalf of an RTE game show has found that 40 percent of Irish people have been unfaithful to their spouse. RTE is the government-owned national broadcasting service.
Connacht emerged as the “most faithful” province in the country.
The survey was carried out on behalf of the game show series “Who Knows Ireland Best?” With relation to infidelity, the survey found that 41 percent of people admitted that they secretly checked their partner’s email and text messages. Also, 14 percent admitted they’ve ended a relationship using a text message.
What Filming a Sex Scene is Really Like: DeeDee Luxe and Calamity Chang Explain 'Shame' Threesome
Michael Fassbender has gotten some deserved awards-season buzz for his towering role in "Shame" -- a film where he famously bared all. If you've seen the movie, you know Fassbender wasn't the only one to strip down for its gritty sex scenes -- perhaps the most memorable act involves his threesome with two women. So who are those women, exactly?
They're professional burlesque dancers DeeDee Luxe and Calamity Chang. I reached out to them separately, hoping to get the skinny on what really goes down during a Hollywood sex scene. Turns out, they've become fast friends since their on-camera tryst -- they immediately texted each other and decided on a spot where we could all meet.
And so it was at a swanky West Village wine bar that I found myself sandwiched between two gorgeous, glamorous women, giggling and sipping Malbec as we discussed on-screen vs. off-screen chemistry, first-time female-on-female makeout sessions, and what kind of a kisser Fassbender is. Girls will be girls, as it happens -- here are eight things I learned, straight from the source.
1. YOUR DIRECTOR MAY GET A LITTLE BASHFUL, EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT
Did you have to take off your clothes for the audition?
...............
You're accustomed to being naked, but not FULLY naked right?
.................
On the day of shooting, was it nerve-wracking having a bunch of crew members watch you?
..........................

2. CONSIDERATION IS KEY
What did you each do to prepare for being naked on camera?
.............................
3. GET TO KNOW YOUR COWORKERS BEFORE YOU GET TO KNOW YOUR COWORKERS
Did you two hang out before the scene was filmed?
...................
The casting director has mentioned how difficult it was to get people to be in this movie -- and I'm sure part of it is that people had to take it on faith that the subject of sexual addiction was going to be handled properly. And if you're not someone from the film world or you don't know about Steve's material, it could be scary.
........................
How did they pitch the movie to you?
.........................
So you both met the night before the scene, but how did you meet Michael? The day of shooting?
....................
4. EVEN PROFESSIONALS CAN BE FIRST-TIMERS
..................
Did you tell DeeDee that before the scene?
.................
Did you guys just kiss and get it out of the way before you were on camera?
................................
5. HAVING A BURLESQUE BACKGROUND GIVES YOU AN EDGE
...............................
I wonder if those other actresses had burlesque experience -- I bet that really made a difference.
......................
And as far as the scene goes -- how much direction did Steve give you before you went in there, and then during filming? Was he calling stuff out to you or did he just let you do your thing?
..................
6. SOME OF THE NUDITY INVOLVED MOVIE MAGIC (AND RESULTED IN AMNESIA!)
Were you guys covered at all during the scene, or were you completely naked?
. They gave everybody flesh-colored panties.
.............
I mean, it's clear that there are angles -- that things are shot a certain way and there's a certain amount of movie magic, but there are some parts where you all get in there, and it makes a person curious! I remember there's a part with you, Calamity, where Michael just sticks his face in your butt.
...............
Sorry! At a certain point there are just body parts flying! I remember watching it and thinking, "How did they do that without DOING that?"
.................
7. THE LIVELINESS ISN'T RESERVED FOR THE MOMENTS BETWEEN "ACTION" AND "CUT"
What happened when you guys cut during the scene?
.......................
8. IT'S YOUR DUTY TO KISS AND TELL
I don't mean to state the obvious, but you ladies are kind of the envy of women everywhere. You're one degree from Michael Fassbender -- you're the closest I'm ever going to be to the man! So you have to dish, because I'll never get to make out with him!
SEX IS A JOURNEY
Orgasms Aren’t My Favorite Part Of Sex
(story by @ClarisseThorn, a Chestist)
..................................
Specifically, (SHE) wrote:
[It may help some people] not to prioritize orgasms. I am not saying orgasms aren't important; I just don't want the importance of orgasms to wound you, the way it wounded me. For me, it is helpful to imagine sex as a journey. For me, it helps to focus on having fun throughout, instead of doing what it takes to reach the "goal" of orgasm (THIS POOR WOMAN ; FOR A WOMAN TO HAVE AN ORGASM, SHE HAS TO BE AND BEHAVE LIKE A WOMAN, NOT SOME QUASI-FAGGOT MAN). If you're not taking pleasure in the journey — or at least indulging some curiosity — then why keep going? Why not stop and try something else? (BECOME A NUN)
Experimenting sexually in an open-ended way has been, for me, the most productive possible attitude. And in fact, once I knew how to make myself come, I discovered that — though it's helpful to be able to attain that release if I really want to — orgasms aren't actually my favorite part of sex! There are lots of other things I like better.
It's also worth noting that our definitions of "orgasm" are fairly narrow. Some research indicates that there may be other ways to conceptualize orgasms than the stereotypical genital-focused approach.
And now I want to talk about it some more.
It may be ironic that I spent so much time feeling terrible and broken and depressed because I couldn't figure out how to have orgasms … whereas now I prefer not to focus on them. In fact, I estimate that most of my current sexual encounters don't include my orgasm, and very few of my most pleasurable sexual encounters have included my orgasm.
I'm the first to admit that I don't know everything about sex, and there's a lot that I haven't experienced. Anything might change. But seriously. The best sex I've had in my life has been connective and emotional and, for me personally, has frequently involved intense BDSM. My favorite sex so far? Has also mostly been orgasm-free. (WHAT DISGUSTING FEMINIST-FAGGOT ROT ; ITS A SHAME FOR THE POOR WOMAN TOO, BEING SO DELUDED BY FEMINIST-FAGGOT NONSENSE ABOUT SEXUAL "EQUALITY")
Some people in some sex-related communities have asserted that for maximum amorous power, it's actually best to limit one's orgasms, because then the contained sexual energy ends up channeling into a deeper connection with one's partner. I can see that. For me, another way of thinking about it is that I'm really into being teased — and I'd rather experience hours of being teased without an orgasm, than have a quick encounter that ends in orgasm. (ONCE AGAIN, POOR WOMAN. FOR NEARLY 30 YEARS, i, A MAN, HAD SEX -AND A VAGINAL [INSIDE MY WOMAN] - AT LEAST ONCE A DAY)
And …. (Oh no, I can already tell this is going to get complicated … but hey, sex is complicated, so I'll give it a shot.) …. Especially when I'm doing BDSM, it can actually be hot sometimes if I don't have an orgasm. For example: if I go to sleep so turned on that I can't dream about anything but my partner, and then I wake up in a damp mess, and then my partner makes my life difficult all morning, it's pretty awesome. ...................
Aaaaand … here's the most painful, ridiculous, circular irony of all. Ready? Here goes: now that I'm capable of having orgasms, I've found myself occasionally having orgasms only to satisfy my partner. How absurd is that? Plus, I know I'm not alone, because I've talked to other women who do the same thing!
I've written before that in the past I've felt trapped by fake plastic ideas of "what hot girls look like during sex"; I've written about how the pressure to "perform" my sexuality can hurt. What has amazed me, as I've gotten older, is just how pervasive that pressure can feel with some partners … and how little pressure there is with other partners. The question of how to create a low-pressure environment for sexuality to flourish is big and complicated, so let me just say here that although I'm all about people giving each other orgasms … it's no good if my partner's desire to give me an orgasm turns into pressure for me to have an orgasm!
Scarleteen, my favorite sex education site, has a great article about "squirting" orgasms and how some women feel pressured to "squirt" for the sake of the sexual "novelty". On a similar note, I'll close this post with an anecdote about a guy I dated a while back who was very focused on giving me orgasms. To his credit, he figured out how to make me come very quickly. But the problem was that — I soon realized — the biggest reason he wanted to make me come was because he wanted to feel like he could. Fundamentally, it wasn't about my pleasure; it was about him feeling like "the man".
Let me be clear: he was a great guy, and I was into having sex with him. But it became very obvious to me that if I didn't have an orgasm every time we had sex, then he would be really bothered. So there were definitely a few encounters where, although I wasn't especially interested in having an orgasm, I still closed my eyes and flicked through fantasies with a kind of panic … until I managed to kick-start my body into coming. Isn't that messed up?
One thing I've learned, in years of writing about sex and gender, is that anything — anything at all — can be a tool for limiting or stifling sexuality … just as much as it can be a tool for releasing sexuality (SHE SHOULD HAVE LEARNED THAT MEN AND WOMEN ARE NOT "EQUAL", THAT WOMEN ARE CONFUSED AND CONFUSING EVEN TO THEMSELVES). Turns out, orgasms are no exception. Even orgasms can become a difficult duty. I'm so glad that I know how to have an orgasm now; for me, that was an important step for my sexuality and my self-esteem. But now that I've learned how to do that, I find myself questioning why it's such an important and destructive issue in the first place!
Sex is a journey. There are so many directions, so many forks in the road, so many stops along the way. There are so many speedbumps and roadblocks, uphills and downhills, free and easy open stretches. Sometimes people stop to rest. Sometimes people double back. Everything is evolving. A lot of people find it most awesome to simply … enjoy the road.


Itty Bitty Titty Committee
Posted: 20 Jan 2012 10:43 AM PST
No matter what your breasts look like, they are not good enough. (IS THE AUTHOR A WOMAN, A FAGGOT OR...?)

It’s the late 1960s. I am at the movie theater with a bunch of my straight school chums, none of whom are aware of my disinterest in women’s bits and all of whom are breast-obsessed. We are here to see Performance, a trendy, louche movie starring Mick Jagger, Anita Pallenberg, and Michele Breton as three drug-addled funsters who while away their bohemian Notting Hill lives in various sexual triangulations. There is no shortage of nudity. At one point Mick and his two playthings splash about in the bath. While I try desperately to catch a glimpse of Mick’s bottie, my pals focus on the chests of the two ladies. Later, at the pub, my dude pals kvelled enthusiastically about Pallenberg’s modest knockers. Special praise was reserved for Breton’s pert, little, no-brassiere-needed appendages. As far as my pals were concerned, boulder boobs were for barmaids and strippers. Cool girls like Twiggy, Ali McGraw, Mia Farrow, and the above-mentioned degenerates were all highly desirable, despite being small of tit.
Images of Mademoiselle Breton’s boobies came flooding back on a recent trip to the cinema. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is, as those of you have seen it will be painfully aware, intermittently enlivened with startling bursts of no-holds-barred sado-masochistic porn. Whenever the narrative starts flagging, off come the clothes, and here come Rooney Mara’s modest, well-shaped natural chests.
During the non-porn, fully clothed segments of the movie, I found myself speculating as to whether the ferociously compelling Miss Mara, with her uninflated mammaries, might possess the power to usher out the era of the porno-hooter? Can she put the natural knocker back up where it belongs? Might The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo repopularize the smaller breast, or Bristol, as it is known in the Cockney rhyming slang of my homeland? (Bristol City = tittie.)

It’s a funny thing, what Simon Doonan is doing here: He’s arguing from the basic assumption that among straight men today, small breasts are universally deemed unattractive. And large breasts are fake. And back in the day, small breasts were attractive because they were class markers of the “cool girls” who you wanted to hang out with, not the “barmaids and strippers” who you undoubtedly fucked but probably didn’t want to be seen in public with.

I realize that, as far as red-blooded heterosexuals are concerned, there is no issue here. Straight dudes (AND HE IS A FAGGOT) are too busy enjoying the current era of the mega-boob to give a thought to any alternative. In this regard, they are most selfish. After all, lots of women lust after men with tight soccer-player buns, but how many of you pudgy straight guys would willingly undergo surgery to achieve this effect for your lady’s delectation?
At the end of the day, health concerns may well cut the cackle. The New York Times recently ran a story about the recall of thousands of dodgy, leaky implants. French health authorities have advised 30,000 women to explant those suspect implants ASAP. Similar warnings have followed in Germany and the Netherlands.

Ah yes, it’s just that he’s concerned for your health, really. Because women just wouldn’t have large breasts without implants, right? And women who do have implants are shallow silly sluts (he won’t say that, of course [BUT IT IS MOST TRUE]).
There is of course something to be said about beauty culture, and the lengths women (to a much greater degree than men) are willing to go (and are expected to go) to fit a fairly narrow model of attractiveness. And there is something to be said about the normalization of large breasts when, as I’m writing this post, I am about to call myself “small of tit” and then I remember that I’m between a B and a C-cup and in what universe that is abnormally, notably “small” is beyond me. And there is something to be said about the assumption that larger (but not too large!) breasts are assumed to be more attractive when I assume that saying I am “small of tit” will be understood as an admission of less-than-attractiveness.
But really, what the Doonan article comes down to is who is considered a “woman” in his estimation. Because he’s not talking about women generally — he’s talking about women who are stereotypically bangable. Women who are thin and white and young and able-bodied and have big tits but otherwise might have small tits. Not women who are fat, or who are old, or whose big breasts aren’t at a right angle from their rib cages, or whose “mega-breasts” aren’t DD cups but are F or G or H cups or larger, or who just aren’t “hot” for whatever reason. I’m pretty sure women like that aren’t even on the radar screen here.
Or whatever, just read Kate.


Nude Iranian movie star ignites firestorm

Nude Iranian movie star ignites firestorm
A photo and video of a famous Iranian actress baring her breasts have gone viral this week, igniting a fiery debate among Iranians.
Golshifteh Farahani appears topless, cupping her breasts, in a photo in the French magazine Madame Le Figaro. Also, a video apparently made by a French film academy, features the actress looking directly into a camera as she disrobes. She stands with her breasts uncovered. Soon after the images hit the Web, reaction was swift inside Iran, where Farahani gained fame in state-sponsored movies that forbid the mere touching of hands.
"The fate of an actress, who left her own country and joined Hollywood, has been nothing but immorality," the semi-official Fars News Agency wrote this week. "The actress who once played the role of caring and decent mothers of Iran has now auctioned off her modesty and honor in front of the Western cameras."
Farahani reportedly moved to France shortly after making history in the Iranian film industry by being the first Iranian to star in a Western film. In 2008, she played a nurse in "Body of Lies" with Leonardo DiCaprio.
It's unclear if the actress currently lives in France. Her agency in Paris declined a CNN interview request as Facebook, Twitter and blogs lit up with incendiary remarks about her. Some say Farahani has betrayed Islam and Iran for revealing her body. Other posters are supportive. They cheer her boldness and defend her right to self-expression.
Several Facebook pages have popped up in recent days with notes encouraging visitors to re-post the photo and video. A wall post Thursday appeared on a Facebook page that appears to belong to the actress. The message, carrying Farahani's name, says, "We have to open our mind!!"
Among other comments on Facebook:
"She is really brave, and I am proud of her. She shows what she believes in and it has nothing to do with others."
"Along with me and all my friends, we are really proud of you."
"I'm ashamed to call you an Iranian."
"Good for you Golshifteh dear! For once an Iranian with guts has come out to show we are just like anyone else in this world. You can model and do whatever you like, just like every woman from Los Angeles to Tokyo."
CNN reached Iranians inside the country Thursday night.
None wanted their last name published, saying they feared government reprisal for speaking to Western media. Yasmin, a 22-year-old student from Tehran, called Farahani "irresponsible" for posing nude.
"What did she think? She could pose topless in Paris, and then come back to Tehran, cover up again, and everything will be fine?" Yasmin said. "She should have thought about that before she did it. I understand she is an actress and artist, but she also has an Iranian passport."
Daroush, a 32-year-old English teacher in Shiraz, said he suspects the photo and video were purely publicity stunts to further Farahani's film career. "As an Iranian inside Iran, I knew who Golshifteh Farahani was, but did Americans or Brits?" he asked. "Probably not, but now they know. Smart woman."
Fereshteh, a 56-year-old retired schoolteacher in Tehran, is pleased to see the actress breaking a taboo, even if "her actions are against Iranian culture." Amin, a 34-year-old Web designer in Shiraz, said he didn't understand what all the fuss is about.
"Women in Hollywood pose like this daily," he said. "Why should an Iranian be treated differently? Because we are Muslims? There are Muslims all over the world who are models, actresses, artists that pose like this."
Mohammed, a 40-year-old engineer who lives in the city of Isfahan, said the actress "should be ashamed of herself."
He also said he felt actors and actresses have a tough time working in Iran, and Farahani posing nude will only make their jobs more difficult.
Mary Apick agrees. Three decades ago, Apick was a huge movie star in Iran, winning a best actress award for her role in an Iranian film at the Moscow Film Festival. She said performers in Iran will likely feel more pressure to adhere to the regime's notion of strict Islamic code in both their performances on screen and their personal life.
"They will be scrutinized more, no doubt," she said.
On Thursday, Apick watched the video of Farahani while CNN.com interviewed her. "I cannot believe what I'm seeing," she said. "She can never go back to Iran. No way. No way on Earth. Oh, I empathize with this beautiful young actress. No one has ever done anything like this. This is truly the bravest, boldest thing I've ever seen."
Apick lives in the United States, and has forged a successful career as a playwright, actress and activist in the West. She's lauded for writing and starring in the play "Beneath the Veil," which interweaves stories of women struggling for their rights.
"It was impossible to be an actress in Iran when I was there, and it's not gotten easier. It's become harder. There is no honest art, so there is no art. The regime has no interest in women, (especially not) strong women characters in movies," she said.
To get a film made and released in Iran, she said, a filmmaker must first shoot and produce the piece. Funding is up to them. They are required to present the finished product to Iranian authorities who view it and censor it if they feel it steps outside Islamic code. Government authorities then decide whether to issue a permit for the film's release. No permit, no movie.
Mehdi Semati, a media professor at Northern Illinois University who has written extensively about Iranian films, has been monitoring Internet chatter and listening to his Iranian students lively discussions the photo and video. They are split, mirroring comments online, he said.
He has been particularly surprised by the reaction of one student who subscribes to a rather hard-line pro-regime viewpoint. The student wasn't as harsh as Semati expected him to be. "I could tell it really made him think," he said.
"It almost doesn't matter what (Farahani's) intent was," the professor said. "Farahani posing this way shows that even Iran's highly proscribed, controlled filmmaking industry does not have total control, even over an icon of their own making."
Even more significantly, he added, it demonstrates that the Iranian regime cannot prevent anyone with access to the Web from judging for themselves.
