My old gymnasium had a very good reputation and a history reaching back until before the war. I had very good techers, most of them men, men of reason, a scientific mindset, an interest for awaking our interest in science and a reasonable view of things and the world. My teacher in Englisch "Leistungskurs" was an old lady from a family that had migrated to the US, with her being the only one returnign to Germany. We deeply respected and truly loved her, I will never forget her. I had a very good time at school, I consider myself to have been very lucky.

I finished school in 1985. Soon after that, the firtst of many unspeakable "reforms" of the German school system was introduced, and the misery and deep fall began. It continues to go on until today, and promises to not stop until it hits rock bottom.

Today, my old school has no more courses in physics, biology, chemistry after class 8 anymore, and history got replaced with several political mind training affairs that effectively prevent the people from comparing the present events to historic ones and thus form educated political opinions by themselves.

Cry, Germany. Cry. But even that gets unlearned by the young.

That's wanted - the stupid ones are easy to guide and seduce.

This is the "new" fashion...

Yes, I too think it is somewhat intentional. Not on a conscious level intentional, but on an ideological level - but here, intentional indeed.

It would serve them right if they replaced Herren and Damen and with just an X or Y designation.



"Are you an X or a Y?"
"Are you Y positive or Y Negative?"
"Are you a Double X or a Single X?


Let's see these nuts find gender wiggle room in that!

It's everywhere. I can't wait until the day, I , as a general contractor, can walk into the govt bid office to bid on minority projects as a black female just because I ID that way.

Well each generation has to have something to rebel against. Eventually it will just boil down to no gender as the list grows heavy enough and falls off the edge of the earth. No really!

Just be a pltician and out yourself as gay. You will see that by magic you start to fall the stairs upwards and get pulled by invisible force into the focus of media attention. We have had severla examplesof this in Germany over the past few years. Being gay now is a qualification.


Of course being a (feminist) woman also can qualify you over men.As the original rticle indicates. Many universities run quota regulations now. We have had exmaple like in Vienna where female students got accepted for medicine with significantly lower ratings in tests - because they were girls. Boys with better marks got kept away.



Everybody: go on unlimited life strike, if you can afford it. Generate as little contributions to the common "good" as you can. You owe it to your self esteem not to easily allow getting exploited this way.


Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged saw a new retranslation some years ago, and got republished in German under right this title "The Strike". Became a huge success.
