From the homicidal bitchin'

That goes down in every kitchen

To determine who will serve and who will eat

From the wells of disappointment

Where the women kneel to pray

It was jarring to read this week that the Koch Brothers have made massive profits investing in recent feel-good Feminist movies like Wonder Woman and Mad Max Fury Road.

It didn’t surprise me, but it was still jarring.

The Koch brothers are just keeping their 'friends close and their enemies closer.'

'The greatest lie the devil ever told was convincing the world that he didn’t exist.'

Worried about disenfranchising African Americans, paper problems over by claiming that there is no such thing as race or racism (colorblindness).

Sure, some smart folks might mention that it makes no sense that white people own the vast majority of the property and that it seems odd that merit seems to be defined almost entirely by the very skin color that supposedly doesn’t exist.

The whole premise of Harry Harrison’s Make Room Make Room (later turned into the movie Soylent Green) that if you pit the masses against each other you can literally feed them to each other and nobody will care.

And how long will women continue to be fed the bones of other women and pretend that they are eating Filet Mignon?

There is an element of the old Virginia Slims commercial bullshit happening here (isn’t it wonderful, now that you are liberated you can consumer cigarettes until you die).

Basically, the powers that be are suggesting that we are living in amazing times. That we are present for the birth of a pro-feminist wonderland where women can have basic health benefits stripped, where they should never be able to say no to having babies, where they should rarely be protected from or be able to punish sexual violence, and where that they should earn less money than men.
