This week on Disaffected we look at yet another gorgon in disguise, a mommy vlogger with a camera-perfect life who was arrested on six felony counts of child abuse after her son escaped and begged a neighbor for food.
Then we'll look at the continued feminist denial of women's agency in order to blame men. A sorority in Wyoming forced the members to accept a 6' 2 predatory male pervert as a sister. But according to top feminists, it's "hating on women" to point out that they sell their own sex to the highest social justice bidder.
And this week in New Normal, we'll talk about the mayor of Chicago suing Hyundai and not car thieves, a federal judge who said parents may not opt their kids out of sexual indoctrination in public school, and the Department of Justice accusing Elon Musk of hating immigrants so much they had to take him to court.
In your previous Substack you asked us how we’ve become someone we didn’t expect to be. Your question prompted me to survey my drab collection of habitual gaffes, crusty vintage dogmas, and hobby projects of 'forced teaming.' Perilously late, the mist of ‘progressive’ pieties lifts and clears. The glare cuts hard, but it is better to squint into it. As I await this Sunday's episode of 'Disaffected,' it occurs to me, this clinches it: I'm past the dim decades of bully-appeasing, of not diagnosing the damaging fraudulence you analyze with such discernment. I've become someone unbamboozled enough to cue up ‘Disaffected’ each week. Bring on the parade of 'Borderline glasses': my rose-colored ones are in the trash. [Sun 9/10/23 8:45 pm EST ]
Thank you for the call to get back to Old Normal, in whatever way we can manage to do so. Your story about the bike riding goslings rings very true. Children are over watched, overstretched, and completely underprepared for live outside of their McMansions. I loved riding bicycles around the city when I was little...it was pure freedom. No parents, no money, no schedule. We managed. We figured it out. We gained confidence in the process. I hope and pray for children now, and in the future....that they may have healthy ways to gain such life enriching skills.
