Porky's Place

Celebrating Nothing.

Soft-willed American politicians on both sides of the aisle have once again allowed the feminists to badger them into doing something stupid – establishing the National Women’s History Museum, an absurd nonesuch dedicated to the  historical contributions of American women.

According to the press release…

“NWHM will reclaim the ‘missing half” of our nation’s history by educating and informing the public on women’s many contributions.”

How typically feminist to imply that since women are half the population they must therefore be responsible for half of the nation’s history – needless to say there won’t be any searching for evidence that American women have been half of the problem when it comes to starting wars or wiping out the natives, it’s just the good stuff that the gals were a big part of!

The whining continues with…

” Less than five percent of the 2,400 national historic landmarks chronicle women’s achievement ….”

This is almost certainly due to the likelihood that less than five percent of  America’s achievements have been thanks to women, indeed, I suspect that 5% is probably biased in favor of women rather than against them.

The fact is that if the Americans built a museum to all women across the ages they might have a decent enough museum, what with Cleopatra, Katherine The Great, Elizabeth the First, Marie Curie, Boudicca and so on. Not exactly a  match for Caesar and Charlemagne but good enough. But American women?

Let’s see, in the exploration section they could put Sacajawea, in the  inventors section they could put Monkee Mike Nesmith’s mom (she invented liquid paper), then they could have some suffragettes and that’s it, maybe some washer women and a statue of a woman with her tit in a kid’s mouth… Let’s face it, this is nothing but a feel-good exercise for the American Princesses for whom too much privilege is never enough, it’s the equivalent of  the women’s only awards  so beloved of women like Cherie Blair– it’s a prize for being the tallest midget in the room.

More on less here.
