TERF party in Austin, modern dating in Hungary, trans ideology in Spain, and Matt Walsh on the internet

Here's what you may have missed in my world and also the world

TERFing USA! Join TERF All-Stars, Michelle Evans, Mary Lou Singleton, Isabella Malbin, K. Yang, Amy Sousa, and myself in Austin on August 12th for a Let Women Speak rally followed by an intimate meet and greet with some of America’s top TERFs.

The rally itself is a public, outdoor event. Anyone can come, but we need you to register as we won’t be releasing the exact location until a day or two before the event, and you will need to know where to show up! Please register here.

The after party/meet and greet has a very limited number of tickets, as the venue has limited us in terms of capacity. We will most certainly sell out, so don’t wait till the last minute to buy your ticket! We won’t have any wiggle room for plus ones or special extra tickets for friends. Buy your ticket for the VIP TERF party here.

In case you don’t spend your life on Twitter, as I do now that I am back (even though Elon refuses to give me a subscribe button, I just love it there — honestly), you may have missed Matt Walsh’s most recent garbage take.

His aim is, naturally, women. They are the worst! (The non-passive ones who don’t “fall back” and let him lead like proper ladies, in any case.) This is not new, of course. From the moment Walsh released his doc, What is a Woman? (which I have always said I liked — it was funny, and revealed the nonsense of gender identity ideology), he has behaved like a petty little child towards “gender critical feminists,” who insisted Walsh was not the only person brave enough to speak out against the trans insanity and noted that he could have chosen to support women struggling to speak out on this for many years, but chose not to.

Walsh — the man; the narcissist — had to present himself as the only true spokesperson on this issue, mostly because he is so limited by his own rigid ideological aims that he cannot share, support, or work with people who he disagrees with even a little bit. In other words, he is exactly like a trans activist, and exactly like the left he abhors so. In Walsh’s case, it’s just that his religion says men are men (rational leaders) and women are women (stupid idiots), rather than saying that men are women because pantyhose gives them boners.

Instead of working together to end this nonsense, dangerous ideology, Walsh chose to create division, and attacked “gender critical feminists.”

This is because, in my opinion (which I believe is right), Matt Walsh doesn’t care about gender identity ideology. He doesn’t care about protecting women from male predators, he doesn’t care about women’s spaces and sports, he cares about his agenda.

In other words, Walsh has used the gender identity debate to build a much broader platform than he would have otherwise been able to, with his regressive, religious, not-very-smart takes. He knows gender identity ideology is something with broad reach: a lot of parents are angry, women are angry, men think the whole thing is crazy. So he decided to make this his issue to build a base, and once he succeeded in doing that, he pivoted back to advocating women lose all of their rights because gosh they are too emotional and irrational even to vote. Now that he has this base of people who believe he is fighting the good fight, rather than the bad fight, which he was seen as doing prior, he can spin this into “feminists are to blame for all of this — let’s get em.”

It’s actually quite ingenious, albeit evil.

In other more wordly news, I am in Hungary! It is wonderful. I was invited to attend a festival called MCC Feszt, which combines political and intellectual panels and talks with a full blown culture and music festival. I am told approximately 30,000+ people are in attendance (we are on the last day, today), who, during the day attend talks and panels featuring politicians, journalists, and academics, then at night party until the wee hours. Attendees are young, old, families, and everywhere in between. It is a fantastic concept that I can’t even imagine working in North America. Canadians are too dull to attend/pay for such a thing and Americans are too degenerate, and would turn the whole thing into drunken pandemonium.

I knew nothing about Hungary prior to visiting, and am only just learning, but my impression is that they are a rather serious culture, which makes a lot of sense considering their history. I was surprised (albeit thrilled) to have been invited to speak on a panel about modern dating, which in fact is probably my favorite topic to speak on, despite appearances, as my views on modern dating are so cynical (and because generally I am known for speaking on other topics — primarily gender identity and porn). The panel turned out to be quite conservative, with me as probably the most liberal one, which is pretty funny considering my views on things like dating apps and porn culture. I loved that, having come from such an extremely woke city and continent. It is simply not normal to have these kinds of discussions in North America. Such a panel would either be liberal feminist nonsense or ultra-conservative Christian marriage or bust.

I cannot imagine a panel on modern dating, featuring myself — an anti-Big Tech, anti-porn culture, anti-everyone-younger-than-me cynic — Nina Power, who during the panel admitted she was coming off as something of a puritan and is relatively conservative, albeit not quite as conservative as the third panelist, who I’d not heard of, Vincent Harinam, whose message was “faith, family, and flag.” Harinam did not see the problem as dating apps (I see dating apps as a massive problem that should be avoided at all costs and ideally destroyed), but as a lack of focus on family and faith. Power also felt that a focus on the individual over family was a major problem, but leaned a little closer to me on the notion that we were approaching dating in a completely unnatural way that did not inspire relationships, respect, and commitment, but dehumanization. Personally, I can’t stand families and enjoy my life in large part because I chose not to have a husband or child, but concede that I am in the minority on that front. Most do want families — women especially. Which means that the last thing you should be doing is trying to sell your one-dimensional body and face to tens of thousands of men who would prefer to use you as pornography than to commit to you and fatherhood. Moreover, dating apps aren’t actually meant to get you into a relationship, no matter what they tell you. They are programmed to keep you on the app — swiping and swiping for all of eternity, just like a slot machine.

Hungary, as most of you probably know, was a communist country for many decades. This destroyed the country and its people, who are only just recovering. Hence the seriousness. They now have a generation of young people born after the fall of communism, who can offer more hope and positivity than the generations prior, who are burdened with the fear that everything could be taken from them at any given moment. The country is also right wing, which explains the conservative bent of the festival (Michael Knowles of The Daily Wire was their keynote). This is also honestly refreshing, as these days I’m so woked out that conservatism feels refreshing and interesting, even if I’m not entirely on board with the whole right wing project.

I won’t speak any further, as I am really not equipped to, being new to the culture and politic of Hungary, but it’s been very interesting and I’m looking forward to exploring Budapest on my days off this week, before returning to Mexico (briefly — I head to Austin on August 7th) on Wednesday.

And finally, as unwordly as I am (working on it), I have learned only recently that Spain had a very unproductive election, resulting in… nothing! Well, barely a left wing win, to the point there will probably need to be another election. Spain has had an actual socialist government recently, which is something I would have been thrilled by 10 years ago, but now know better. And hopefully everyone knows better, as this “most feminist government in Spanish history” pushed through a “Trans Law,” nullifying women’s sex-based rights without any debate. This is no surprise, as progressive governments across the globe have done the same. One might think this would result in a backlash leading citizens to vote right, but so far no luck in either Spain, America, or Canada. Whether this happens in the future Canadian and US elections remains to be seen. I get the impression Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative Party has a good chance of winning, which I would support, and I would far prefer a Republican government in the US over the moronic Democrats. While I do not like Donald Trump as person, he was actually not bad as a president, comparitively. I think we can all agree that most politicians are not to be trusted, but the progressive ones are the ones creating bad addiction, crime, environmental, and reality policy, and therefore I cannot support them. Abortions are a thing women can handle on their own, though I abhor the idea of any abortion legislation at all, never mind laws limiting women’s right to.

In conclusion, clearly I am a far right, Nazi-loving, ball-palming, conspiracy theorist grifter. Spread the word!
