Who is 'chopped-liver'? A housewife or a working wife? Who is to be preferred? One-income or two-income marriages? This last forty years, we have promoted working couples while leaving single-income marriages to fend for themselves. It should be the other way around. Single-income marriages deserve support. I propose to replace child allowances with a HOMEMAKER ALLOWANCE. The strengthening of the family. And the restoration of middle-class society.

Women In The Workforce

If I lose my cool in this blog and start raving that women in the workforce are useless, try to remember this: A team of eleven men and one woman may be as effective as a team of twelve men; but an outfit of six men and six women is a disaster. One woman on a team functions as a kind of mascot bringing the men together and making the team more productive and gung-ho. All the great women in history played this role. Margaret Thatcher for example was the only woman in her cabinet.

But women do not form teams among themselves, or with men, in any way comparable with men's teams. Regularly it takes a supervised heirarchy of scores of mixed humans to get a job done the woman's way that would normally be done by a self-regulating team of a dozen men. The mixed humans expect to be paid as much as the men, and the supervisors get paid most. That's the corporate style. The media call it Women's Equality.

If I undergo meltdown and start raving about women in the workforce, it is mainly to these sterile heirarchies that I object: They are a pathetic substitute for men's teams. We now have women working in the liquor stores, so there are security guards. I don't call that doing the job!

Here in Vancouver at the time of writing, the Picton trial is entertaining us: accused of murdering many of the 50 or so women who have gone missing in Vancouver, the remains of some 30 being found on his pig farm. It is a tremendously emotive case: like the Air India trial. But there is simply no case for murder against him, and never was. (I'm gonna look stooopid if he's found guilty.)

The crown counsel's office here in Vancouver, like all institutions that have been feminised, is useless. They have no idea of teamwork: of prosecution and defence each playing its part. They want to be prosecution and defence and police and judge and forensic expert. Female eunuchs want to be everything, and detest being left out of anything. Notably, the prosecution put on the stand the dream defence witness, a friend of Picton's who lived on the farm throughout the disappearing season, who testified the buildings on the farm were never locked, and with people coming and going all the time, there was no privacy: not a likely scene for mass murders and human butcherings. But I digress. He was hardly cross-examined. The defence weren't going to challenge him, neither could the prosecution. Fortunately his testimony wasn't obviously tainted. But it's no way to run a trial.

The retarded smelly millionaire pig farmer has friends, dozens of them, who stand by him, though he's accused of an horrendous offence in a great public media show trial, costing millions. Random observation.

(Just in passing: Did anyone else pick up on this? Public cock fights were being held on the Picton farm in suburban Vancouver, just like Haiti and remote tribal areas of Indonesia. There's multiculturalism for you! That'll bring in the tourists! One objection to cock fighting is that once people delight in blood thrills, they crave sweeter delights, like snuffing girlies maybe. Did nobody see the connection?)

I want a homemaker allowance used to reshape the workforce. There are some 3 million classic homemaker wives in Canada today with breadwinner husbands. We have a labour force of 15 million out of a population of 30 million. If 5 million women take the allowance, more than half the workforce would be affected by its terms: the breadwinners prioritised for the high-paying jobs, with homemakers back in support with part-time jobs: their benefits being covered by their breadwinner spouses. The remaining singles and working couples would fall between.

Most notably of course we can clean up the public sector: some 3 million jobs. It was never allowed for a husband and wife each to have government jobs before Feminism.

I regard a fireman's wife as the equal of a fireman. I regard lady firefighters as twaddle. A woman does not have to be a firefighter to be the equal of a firefighter. A lady nurse is the equal of a fireman. A lady firefighter is a wannabee: a nuisance exploited by the runt males to antagonise the alpha males. That's the line you'll see developed if you continue to watch this blog.

About Me

The same age, height, weight and initials as Cassius Clay, your favourite great uncle was born a Capricorn in the Year of the Snake. (Am I ever wise!) He has a good honours degree from an ancient British university. If you believe in symbols, kneel! In reality he has a lower second BA in geography from Durham. You may rise! (I don't make the rules!) He dropped out in the late Sixties to write up an insight (because I couldn't take to any work routine) and spent his entire life on the project. It was quite unpublishable. It used the idea of a Dual Brain to hold together the conflict between symbol and reality, right and good. Pounded by the hammers of rejection, we came to conclude the best hope for mankind lay in a homemaker allowance. So blog it!
