From Insty, yesterday:
…which led me straight to this:
Sorry sorry sorry.

Situation Vacant
Lando Norris’ model ex-girlfriend Margarida Corceiro shows off her incredible figure in a tiny blue bikini after split from Formula One world champion
Well, of course she would. Her meal ticket has gone away, so now she has to put the merchandise back in the window.
It must be said, however, that without the current F1 World Championship and all his money, young Lando would not be regarded as much of a catch.
But it just goes to show that no matter how beautiful or attractive a woman may be, there’s always at least one guy who’s sick of all her bullshit. Although, speaking personally, I think she’s completely unattractive: way too skinny and no superstructure to speak of. But that’s models for ya.
Maybe Not
Them times sure are a-changing… just not quite how Dylan envisaged it:
Tabitha Willett has sparked debate as she criticized ‘commuting men on their phones’ for not offering her a train seat – despite wearing a ‘baby on board’ badge.
The Made In Chelsea star, 33, who is expecting her second child, took to Instagram on Tuesday to tell London commuters to ‘do better’.
Sharing a short video of a busy train showing a number of people sitting and standing on their phones, Tabitha penned: ‘I don’t want to be a moan but…
‘On the way back from the school run and a carriage full of men on their phones and no one stood up for a pregnant woman with a badge or elderly couple next to me.
‘Do better London’.
Not gonna happen.
I mean, I myself will always stand up to offer my seat to a woman, pregnant or not. But I’m not a younger man who’s had the shit kicked out of me since childhood by the public school system, by the media and by women in general for my toxic masculinity and frequent screams of “we can do anything that men can do”.
Well then, young men might say, you can bloody well stand on the train when there aren’t any open seats, just like men do.
And let’s be honest: that passive-aggressive button (“Baby On Board”? give me strength) isn’t going to help matters.
Back in the day, of course, such boorish and selfish behavior from younger men would have sparked a response from other men in the railway carriage, said miscreants being hoisted out of their seat by the collar, with maybe a few solid cuffs to the head thrown in.
Now? No chance, chickie.
And you can think your ultra-feministicals for that, because men have a simple response for when the rules of the game are changed to their detriment: they just stop playing.
Manners and courtesy, you see, have always been an indulgence and not a duty. And the days of indulgence are over.
Like I said: I’m not going to change; the habits and manners of a lifetime are too ingrained in me for that simple rejection. But when young men have never been taught those simple manners, those lubricants of polite society, and even been chided that said manners are arrogant and prime examples of The Patriarchy / Toxic Masculinity…
Well, they’re just going to stay in their seats. As they should.
Pussification Without All That Swearing
Doug Ross has put together an invaluable series of charts explaining the feminization of our society.
He’s probably one of the most incisive bloggers on Teh Intarwebz.
My favorite (in an ironic sense):
From a personal perspective, I know for a fact that I couldn’t work in any of today’s corporations: I’d be fired before midday on Day One. What makes it all the more galling is that I also know for a fact that I would be a more competent manager — even at my advanced age — than pretty much any corporate VP of today… provided that I’d be allowed to actually, you know, manage.
Avoidance
From a Deep Thinker:
“Young men prefer to avoid their female peers. It’s unpleasant and, if the women view an errant look or bad date or breakup as ‘rape,’ it’s also dangerous. If you have internet pornography to satisfy your sexual needs, internet games to satisfy every young man’s natural desire for adrenaline, and legal pot to make all the pain go away, who needs women?”
Not to mention having to exist in a gynocentric atmosphere in almost every social institution — schools, workplaces and so on — where the male instincts of risk-taking, adventure and creativity have been ruthlessly suppressed so that men can be… more like women.
One more time: of course I’m not suggesting that risk-taking, adventure and creativity etc. are the sole preserve of men — that’s a common feministical trope, and of course that would be… what’s the term I’m thinking of? Oh yeah: total bollocks. But even the most superficial observation of the human condition will show that men are more likely, for example, to be risk-takers while women are more likely to be risk-averse.
So if you can’t do that kind of thing in real life, the next best thing is to simulate it — I remember reading somewhere that Call Of Duty, for example, has an 80% male gamer profile, and I bet that the Formula 1 simulation games have a similar profile.
And yeah, you don’t need a female partner for that activity, any more than if you’re indulging yourself in a little porn-watching.
I’m not sure that this male-female schism would have worked for me back when I was in my teens and twenties, but then again I didn’t grow up in this toxic environment, and anyway, back then girls and women were a lot more grownup than today’s crop of frail, weeping faeries. (Probably the most cutting comeback I’ve ever seen was a guy’s description of one such creature as a “Fleshlight that cries.” Sheesh.)
I don’t know how this all is going to play out; I suspect badly, and it seems that at some point women are going to choose more masculine men — or a grotesque and dangerous parody thereof, most likely of the Third World genus. Hell, I think that’s already happening in countries where the native menfolk have become terminally feminized — the Scandinavian countries come to mind, here — and the results there are not grounds for optimism.
I’d really like to think I’m wrong about all this, but I suspect that I’m not. More’s the pity.
Why Can’t A Woman
…be more like a man?
Thus saith Professor Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady, and it seems that it’s women who are trying to do so:
You probably think of testosterone as the male sex hormone. But the reality is that testosterone is also a crucial hormone for women, whose ovaries produce it right alongside estrogen and progesterone. All three hormones decline as women age, meaning that in spite of the FDA’s lack of approval, they’re finding ways to take it — and raving about the results.
Like with men, testosterone boosts sex drive and aggression in women, and limited studies show it may support bone health, as well as contribute to mood and energy. Testosterone production tends to peak in women’s late teens and early 20s, and slowly declines thereafter; after menopause, its levels are halved.
Many are framing testosterone supplements as something akin to an off-label fountain of youth.
“It’s changed my marriage,” a 41-year-old marketing consultant told the paper, adding that she’d gone from uninterested in sleeping with her husband to having sex upwards of six days a week.
It’s not just a libido thing, either: many women experience an uptick of ambitious energy on testosterone therapy. One NYT source even reported that her daughter said she’d become argumentative “like a teenage boy.” Other purported benefits include decreased fatty tissue, increased muscle mass and cognitive performance, and even better skin.
Yeah, but it’ll also make yer balls itch. And that will lead to another manifestation: your attitude to the other sexual activity will change:
From a male perspective, I can see one increase in spectator sports if women start becoming more masculine:
Pass the popcorn, Simon.
