@Peter Simpson Marcus Garvey was wrong. RazorBladeKandy was white. Chinweizu synthesized both their ideas but it was Rollo Tomassi who perfected them. His text The Rational Male currently has far more appeal than the myriad of black nationalist literature already in circulation. It so happens that he published it the same year Tommy Curry challenged the fantasy of male privilege, referring to being a black male as a death sentence . His The Man Not however was not the first text to address the shortcomings of fem-centric pan-africanism. Nor was his recent 'Decolonising the Intersection' despite highlighting his attempts to emphasise the role of misandry in black female thinking. Chinweizu (Anamtomy of female power) and Shahrazad Ali (The Black Mans Guide) also made similar efforts but it was George Subira (1992) who hit the mark . Unlike Chinweizu, Subira did not draw upon Esther Vilar's 1976 classic, The Manipulated Man. Unlike most disciplined minds, Subira was an original thinker and one of the first to advocate a programme of economic leadership. Most modern black rhetoricians can offer no such programme or agenda because they are largely victims of black female programming. Their minds were long domesticated meaning they are reduced to reproducing aimless echo chambers almost every time they talk. Neely Fuller (1957) was not hostage to such conditioning but his programme seems to have a key fault. Despite realising the incredible driving motivating force of sexual expression , he still managed to downplay it's role, especially how it compares to the larger logic of antiblackness and global white terror domination. Although Charles Mills (1997) did indirectly develop his ideas, he neglected to integrate the foundation his own work borrowed from, "The Sexual Contract." (1996) Neil Postman, like Jeff Schmidtt, was one of the few people capable of making sense of these divergent ideas (much like John Gatto and Jan Matthews were two of those rare individuals with the pieces of the puzzle.) Conventional panafrikanism doesn't even realise there is a jigsaw to be solved. It has a distorted conception of itself because it views the world through a damaged lens incapable of accountability and self-reflection. PanAfrikanism will not produce any quick results either because unlike Chinweizu, Subira and Curry, it still refuses the interrogate and recognise the role of women in sabotaging the afrikan agenda. Texts like Addicted to White work towards this, only, in this age of intersectional confusion and fragmented voices in the wind, it isn't necessary to silence this perspective; it is enough just to drown it out. Jacques Ellul and Guy Debord surely foresaw this tragic arrangement, when few others could. Men have been fooled, black and white. It is no longer a question of race-first but male first, if not black-male first at the very least. Men are going to have to muster the clarity and courage to challenge the corporate-feminine regime dominating their "emptied" lives. If anything is to be redeemed black thinkers will need to prioritise the black pill and realise that the fundamental question of what it means to be a woman is as urgent as the need to ask what it means to be white. Gwiz [phone] [e-mail] Addendum: 1. Attention to a woman is like a blowjob to a man 2. When a man's contempt for women surpasses his lust for them, only then shall he become wise 3. Women think all men are the same - that is their strength. Men think all women are different - that is their weakness 4. A man's facade of strength is his biggest weakness; a woman's facade of weakness is her biggest strength 5. Men fake interest, women fake orgasms A. Women are not to be loved; they are to be handled B. Women are not complicated; they are complicating C. A man must value his time the same way women put premiums on their body D.

Men are the engineers and architects. There's nothing systematic about it. Men and women are GENUINELY DIFFERENT and statistically choose different careers. I doubt (in the USA) anyone can find an example in which a female pilot got paid less than a male pilot in the same company with the same experience and education.

[@r6854]

@UCgn3dvCtj6-c3opGdZYF0IA You make a good point, I am just not too sure if that is a good way to normalize the data. Generally speaking when an employee is full time, you do pay them more because they have more experience and can demand more pay. Part time employees usually do not have the level of experience that can command the same rate. A lot of full time employees started out working part time and then make the transition. I would be more interested in seeing all part time workers annualized and then compared, also a comparison of all full time compared to just full time. Generally speaking part time employees are at the beginning of their career while full time employees are more established. Many people choose to always stay part time for a number of reasons, family, going back to school,etc. But it is hard to build a career if you just stay part time. Full time employees are also for the most part taking a bigger lead on bigger projects. Part time is generally speaking supporting the full time. For some part time is a perfect compromise between financial wealth and mental wealth, for others it can be frustrating. Sorry, you deleted your comment.

@@IronFreee essentially true. Our firm pays 40% of hours billed regardless of whether they are boy or girl. It doesn't matter. If the girl is only billing 1500 hrs a year and a guy is billing 2200 ... he's going to be paid more ... for the same work. In our firm, on average, our men bill about 22-25% more hours. Of course they get paid more, of course they advance faster, this is not brain surgery. Who do you pay more, the guy who brings in $1,100,000 in revenue, or the woman that is bringing in $900,000 per year. That's obvious.

Yeah. That's how a lot of those "feminists" try to manipulate others. They try to get a rise out of the men and when they do, they latch onto that and use that as a basis that they, as women, are being oppressed by men. But by being calm the entire time and simply doing your job calmly, they can't pull that kind of manipulative shit.

[@BouncingClown1]

So she annualized part time employee salaries and puts them in the same bucket with full time employees. Then goes on to say that women work part-time at 3x the rate of men, meaning that women working less hours. How stupid is this women to still justify her imaginary "pay gap" after saying this?

[@someguy1143]

This is why we can't have honest political debate anymore. We don't have honest data anymore that we can trust in order to tweak our approach to sociopolitical issues. Nowadays studies are conducted in a manner to fit a foregon conclusion. The data is tweaked to fit instead of our views. It's sad but I don't trust any studies that come out anymore. I was part of a company that was investigated by the DOJ. They wouldn't tell us the methodology they used until after we signed an agreement with them. We did, and then they gave us some of their materials. They redefined words and categorized things in the most nonsensical manner in order to find us in violation if the law. In the end it was cheaper just to give them money to go away and best for publicity. Not great for justice though.

Because these women are being paid 10x more than any other middle class citizen whom they should be representing. And it is very comfortable to be paid 10x more and work only half time with only a fraction of the dedication of any other ordinary men or women.

[@WilfChadwick]

This is a perfect example of what the post modernist victim culture of today's progressive left can do to a 'study'. They start off with an answer and are willing to sacrifice any data which may prove their conclusion wrong. The worst part is, you know that each one of those answering has already thought about hours worked but are ideologically constrained from ever making it part of the equation.

My company certainly does. There's a fairly even split between female and male employees here and an incredibly heavy skew towards men for overtime hours worked. Some of these guys don't even bat an eye at constantly working 70+ hours a week

Time to re-introduce competence as a job requirement.

[@HerrJaeger64]

@Mark Steven yep!

[@terfalga]

@Mark Steven They don't have to be white or a man to be competent. cmon guys

[@BenjaminCronce]

The real problem is defining "competence". Any time you measure for something, the system becomes gamed and self-reinforces. Competence is very subjective. How do we decide who gets to decide who's competent? How do we know the person responsible for choosing who's competent is competent at doing that?

[@jaynej9924]

Benjamin Cronce I see your point, but in this case for instance, this woman is analysing statistical information as part of her job, and clearly whoever employed her did not check that she even had the most rudimentary understanding of what that even means. By virtue of the evidence in this video, I would say that she is more likely to be in her role because she is a woman, rather than someone who demonstrated an ability to do what is obviously required in such a post. In short, this incredible lack of ineptitude was seldom seen in days where it would have been more important to demonstrate competence rather than rely on being part of an ‘oppressed’ identity group. In which case, the persons selecting her did not even have competence as a criteria.
