In my previous post about the real incidence of rape (it is in massive decline! contrary to the claims of the campus rape industry), I said there was a discrepancy in the National Crime Victimization Survey statistics about its prevalence in the past several years. Steven Pinker writes that it was at 50/100,000 in 2008,... Read More
Happy International Women's Day! Today I had occasion to read one of the most inadvertently hilarious things about Russia in the Western media from Kathy Lally (pictured right) from the Washington Post in which she complains that Russian women get flowers, not power. Citing the opinion of one Russian woman from the "Center for Social... Read More
The past two days I had the pleasure of observing the blowout over a post by blogger Matt Forney about rape - or more precisely, about "how to rape women and get away with it." It's completely satirical, quite funny, and one can't help but by impressed by the size of the balls (no homo)... Read More
At least according to ultra-leftist Stieg Larsson (of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo fame). But thing is, if you actually ask women if they've been experienced violence sexual or physical violence from a partner, one will find that it is actually East Asian and White countries that have the lowest rates. Via The Inductivist: Japan... Read More
The commentator fcomp writes: That is exactly right. You see this in EE. Beauty is so common that it's much less valued than in America. Basic market forces at work. Feminists go on about the importance of "inner beauty", but ironically, the social trends that are in their own interests to encourage achieve the exact... Read More
One notices a remarkable correlation between this, and the perceived attitudes of local women and their obesity rates. (The map above was made by RVF commentator "durangotang" based on the geographic data here).
Commentator AP writes: He is correct in every respect. Russian women achieved the vote in 1917. Criticize them as you will - and I do - the Bolsheviks early on inserted equity feminism into the foundations of Russian society. This was a generation or two ahead of similar developments in the West. And it was... Read More
This is one of those stereotypes that is totally correct. Take a casual stroll about any Russian town and the typical woman you see would be considered "very cute" or "pretty" in places like the Germany, the UK or the US. And one or two of them will have supermodel looks. That kind of talent... Read More
(1) Mass shootings of this type account for far less than 1% of US homicides. As such it is pointless and bizarre to try to make some kind of anti-guns point with them. (2) They are a relatively new phenomenon; even the term "postal killings", describing mass shootings at postal offices, was first coined in... Read More
The woman on the right is the Egyptian First Lady in 1930. The woman on the left is Mrs. Mursi, First Lady in 2012. I do not know if there is any better illustration of the collapse in aesthetics, culture, etc. when Islamic radicals seize power thanks to their liberal, internationalist, and socialist enablers. Truly,... Read More
And no, I ain't talking of that von Neumann crap. :) Game theory as developed by Heartiste and Co (1, 2, 3, 4). Before we start, there are two concepts we must avail ourselves of: Female hypergamy: Woman's tendency to mate up the social hierarchy. Soft polygamy: See picture right, as helpfully illustrated by yours... Read More
The second part of my series comparing Russia, Britain, and the US focuses on the people themselves. What are their strengths and foibles? How do they vary by class, region, race, and religion? How do they view each other and other countries and peoples? What do they eat, drink, and watch? Where do they travel... Read More
I am a blogger, thinker, and businessman in the SF Bay Area. I’m originally from Russia, spent many years in Britain, and studied at U.C. Berkeley.
One of my tenets is that ideologies tend to suck. As such, I hesitate about attaching labels to myself. That said, if it’s really necessary, I suppose “liberal-conservative neoreactionary” would be close enough.
Though I consider myself part of the Orthodox Church, my philosophy and spiritual views are more influenced by digital physics, Gnosticism, and Russian cosmism than anything specifically Judeo-Christian.
