Chicks declaim responsibility

Chicks declaim responsibility: there is a kind of dumb essay, "Dead Girls, Female Murderers, and Megan Abbott’s Novel 'Give Me Your Hand,'" you can read through search engines for a laugh, but it is revealing about female psychology, "She’s not just any dead girl. Usually, she is white, straight, and cisgender; young and beautiful; not poor." People care about hot fertile chicks and rich high-status guys. You may notice that not many murder mysteries focus on dead guys who are nice-guy janitors. They focus on presidents, CEOs, cops... guys who have power. As usual, most guys are just ignored. The murder of a young hot chick is exciting and also extremely transgressive (because she hasn't had kids yet, probably). She excites great passion in men, up to murderous passion, and exciting that kind of passion in men is exciting to read about for women.

Young and beautiful chicks are intrinsically more interesting to both men and women, as lovers or as rivals. That's biology at work. Women past reproductive age are not that interesting.

Abbott says, “the place women can go to read about the dark, messy stuff of their lives that they’re not supposed to talk about—domestic abuse, serial predation, sexual assault, troubled family lives, conflicted feelings about motherhood, the weight of trauma, partner violence, and the myriad ways the justice system can fail, and silence, women.” But like Camille Paglia says, any women who stays with a guy who hits her after the first time he does is complicit with the violence. She's excited by it. Just like many if not most women who experience "sexual assault" do so because they set up the situation. They get drunk, go out, meet and entice guys, and then are surprised by what happens. The real thing no one talks about is female complicity.

Women, except for very rare women like Camille Paglia, don't talk about this because they don't want to take responsibility for their actions. Most of what women do is the fault of someone else, preferably a man. She's just, you know, an innocent victim. Except that's very rarely the case.

All this talk about "partner violence" and "sexual assault" communicates to men that women are childlike and inept. Smart, competent, and self-aware women rarely have those problems. Competent women identify potentially violent guys and avoid them. Contrary to feminist myth, those guys are readily identifiable.

And they attract women. What does that tell us?

Competent women avoid those guys... unless they are into potentially violent guys... and then when the guy does his extremely predictable thing, she depicts herself as a victim. Better for her reputation than taking responsibility for herself.

Camille Paglia also calls out the bogus #MeToo movement. It should be called the #ZeroResponsibility movement. There is nobody else like her in academia today. Christina Hoff Summers comes closest. Most "feminists" are just un-self-aware apologists for their own psychologies.
