Horseshoe M&M's

I remember after Elliot Roger's shooting there was this common feminist talking point of the poisoned M&M where there was a hypothetical bowl of M&M's and that if you picked one out at random that there was a chance that you might pick a poisoned M&M when taking a handful and then it poisoning you and not knowing how bad it might effect you.

A couple of years later the Trump campaign made the same analogy but, instead of men it was illegal immigrants. However, it spoke to a more right leaning audience.

There is a problem in this analogy as well. Primarily it presumes that these groups are somehow riskier to be around than others on a general basis. Sure, there might be statistics saying that men are inherently riskier to be around but, without the data we simply can't say. It preys on people's fears about a certain group that is around but, we cannot actually say that this is the case until there is data.

However, even with data real life is not as predictable as what we think. For example, I might smoke a pack a day for twenty years and not get lung cancer or I might personally handle lit roman candles and it never harms me despite the statistics to the contrary.

Fear is something that cannot be quantified but, it can be reinforced through statistics. It's the quote of: "despite making up 13% of the population..." but it's ridiculous to assume that you can function in a society if you actual based your mentality around this then you would be understandably

The Nothing Burger's Tale

One of the pieces of literature that has become the 1984 of the intersectional progressive has been The Handmaid's Tale.

Written in the 80's as a cautionary tale if the Neo Conservatives and Religious Right were ever to have full control over the culture and political institutions.

It imagines a United States, now The Republic of Gilead where it has been taken over by a group of White Supremacist Evangelicals who have established a theocracy in the wake of an ecological and biological disaster which has rendered many women infertile so, now there are Handmaids who also get their legal names stripped from them and replaced with new names(Margret are you trying to say something about Christianity at a fundamental level or at least female religious?), who act as mistresses to the powerful men in Gilead and have a bizarre mating ritual to boot as well.

The book follows a Handmaid named Offred and her attempt to escape the confines of Gilead and make it to Canada (obviously a reference to slaves escaping to Canada in the 19th century before the American Civil War.).

The book ends in a university lecture in the future and questions the validity of the text and if it can be even trusted since, it was written by a woman.

This was a relatively obscure book mainly read and quoted by English majors, activists and the more hardcore feminists out there. However, after the Orange Man got elected it became this rallying cry women's rights and the like because a sex pest was elected president and somehow that meant we were going to rollback a hundred plus years in the struggle for equality for women.

But it never happened, in fact women hold more cultural pull than men and it's been this way for awhile. Women are allowed to get away with things men simply cannot and often are for lack of a better term "cancelled" or called into question. For example, in 2014 Lena Dunham openly admitted that she had molested her sister when they were kids and she still has a lucrative acting career.

Or the fact that for the most part, the entire Me Too movement has been female centric, with the token inclusion of Brendan Fraiser. A movement that got killed in 2020 whenever it became obvious that Joe Biden would be the Democratic frontrunner we just swept the very credible sexual assault allegations under the rug.

Not to mention that organizations like Planned Parenthood has been caught aiding pimps in order to continue prostitution and sexual exploitation. They engaged in intersectional rhetoric in order to get away with this stuff and also hides behind other layers like being pro LGBT (which makes no sense since 95% of their business model focuses on women, biological women who are seeking to destroy/terminate/end the life inside of them). It only makes sense if they want to be beyond the reproach of criticism.

However, what people don't see is that this is mainly a cudgel by one side in order to shut the other down. No one talks about the sexual assaults perpetuated by Bill Clinton (allegedly) or how Ted Kennedy killed his secretary (allegedly) but these are never really given much if any consideration when it comes to the opposition then it's treated as fact from day zero, rarely if ever will there be a retraction.
