Killing the messenger
Your thin end for today:
Barbarity and atrocity are not simply facets of the past. They are facets of man.
Today in the news we have seen video footage and journalists accounts of an act of atrocity committed by Muslim fighters against a US National. It wasn't a pretty sight, not at all. Granny Herald reports it thus.
Not really a lot of difference between the US/Britain and Iraq now, and the Knights of Christendom crusading against the Infidel nearly a thousand years ago. They still have sand. They still have desert. They still have disease and injury and danger.
And, they are still killing each other in barbaric ways for specious, sophistic reasons.
Western civilisation has given women a freedom that their counterparts in Arab countries have never known - the freedom to possess themselves and not be the chattel of some man, be it uncle, father, brother or husband. But the thing that these same women have in common is far deeper than mere cultural and religious indoctrination; it is the tenet of Life itself. No matter the colour, religion, race or creed, mothers will kill for and die for their children. Women don't generally wage war for fun, they don't posture and swagger to see who can actually piss highest over the fence and they don't kill unless roused to action. Women generally find a way over or around a barrier - men just blow the fuck out of it.
A thousand years ago when the flower of European chivalry and manhood was marching off to the Holy Lands to fight the Turks, to eradicate the Infidel. Their women stayed at home, not knowing for perhaps months or years whether their liege lord lived or died; whether they were a wife or a widow. At risk of the attention of wandering trouble-makers and landed lords wanting to capitalise on the absence of the man of the house to increase their own wealth, these woman learnt to fight and learnt to survive.
And they, too, learnt to kill.
If women ruled the world, there wouldn't be any more wars - everything would be solved by either a smack on the bum, time out in their room, no TV for a week or witholding of sex.
Those of you into bondage and other assorted games of pain and degradation might like to see what the originators of the chastity belt actually designed.
One for women to wear to stop them straying and deriving sexual satisfaction while the Man was away -
and one for the men to stop them dipping their wick in the wrong honeypot -
Bugger that...
Barbarism begins at home, you know. Let's not even start on female circumcision...
