<blockquote><p>The inherent self defeating contradiction of female empowerment is that to achieve it means becoming more masculine. Femininity becomes a weakness therefore there is no actual empowerment for what is truly feminine.</p></blockquote>
<p>As CH has written, there does seem to be a convergence of Western men and women into an androgynous slop. Feminists have deceived themselves into believing femininity is a losing hand, but to their great pain and regret they will find that playing a second-rate man is far less empowering than living as a first-rate woman.</p>

<p>Phil A. O. Physh nails cuckservatism in a simple formulation and takes home the COTW runner-up ribbon.</p>
<blockquote><p>At this point “Conservative” simply means “Late to the (Progressive) party”.</p></blockquote>
<p>Can we just call conservatives &#8220;pussies&#8221;, and be done with it? The Pussy Party. Has a nice ring.</p>

<p>PA is cleaning up these COTW awards. He&#8217;s our second COTW runner-up. Maybe time to get a trophy cabinet?</p>
<blockquote><p>Modern America:</p>
<p>Degeneracy at the top<br />
Depravity at the bottom<br />
Despair in the middle</p>
<p>Despair transforms into resolve when it no longer respects the top.</p></blockquote>
<p>One can hope. Rule of thumb: If a member of the ruling class or its Hivemind megaphone hates someone, it&#8217;s a good bet that hated person is feared precisely because he speaks a message of truth that means the demise of the occupying elite. If you smell your enemy&#8217;s fear, you&#8217;re on the right track.</p>

<p>Commenter elmer has a business idea for SWPLs who want to impress stoop-shouldered white hipster friends (or black girlfriends) with their connection to the black communitaaaaahh.</p>
<blockquote><p>When they ask “do you have any black friends” is when you invoke my killer app CloudBlackFriend, who will send you a personalized most def tweet or other “social media” channel message.</p></blockquote>
<p>Status whoring SWPL: &#8220;Hold on a sec.&#8221; <em>*checks CBF app*</em> &#8220;Dey got they OPP to suck they dik.&#8221;</p>
<p>SWPL Peer: &#8220;Keep it real!&#8221; <em>*raises hand for high five, misses by a foot*</em></p>
<p>***</p>
<p>Not a COTW winner, or runner-up, or anything, but funny nonetheless. &#8220;Anonymous&#8221; chortles,</p>
<blockquote><p>At this this point a guy could probably run on a platform of (1) closing the fucking borders and (2) mandatory gay marriage for everyone, and still get elected.</p></blockquote>
<p>Build up this wall, Mr. Obama! <em>(and tear down that other wall, you swishy mulatto!)</em></p>
