How is Women’s History Month going for you? Here’s what happens when you type “women’s history month” into an incognito browser (i.e., not affected by your previous search history):
Note that Black History Month and National Hispanic Heritage Month are related events, as far as Google is concerned. I’m not sure what corner of Google’s algorithms decided that “Oh Bondage! Up Yours!” was a good theme song for the month.
Some people think little girls should be seen and not heard
But I think “oh bondage, up yours!”
One-two-three-four!
Bind me, tie me, chain me to the wall
I wanna be a slave to you all
Here’s another choice from Google for “Women’s History Month” music, “Girls Need Love”:
I just need some dick
I just need some love
Tired of fucking with these lame n****s
Baby, I just need a thug
Won’t you be my plug, ayy
Do the above lyrics fall into the “resilient”, “brilliant”, or “boundless” category? (from the preceding image)
(Separately, if the girl seeking a “thug” to be her “plug” is also seeking $millions in tax-free cash, she might wish to verify the thug’s income with IRS Form 4506-C and also arrange for the plugging to occur in a state where unlimited child support profits are available. What rhymes with “4506-C” for updated lyrics?)
The first page returned by Google includes a link to a Presidential proclamation. Dr. Biden’s spouse notes that “LGBTQI+ women and girls are leading the fight for justice, opportunity, and equality — especially for the transgender community.” (contrast to the use of “2SLGBTTQIA+” by Justin Trudeau) Yet Mx. Biden never defines what he/she/ze/they means by “women” or “girl.” Maybe that is a job for a new committee?
I established the first White House Gender Policy Council to advance gender equity across the Federal Government and released the first-ever national gender strategy to support the full participation of all people — including women and girls — in the United States and around the world.
Readers: What have you done so far to observe Women’s History Month 2022?
In our family, we showed the kids Welcome to Earth, Descent into Darkness, in which Will Smith goes down in a research submarine with Diva Amon, who apparently identifies as a “woman of color” (26:40):
A big part of my work is trying to change that. I’ve been on like 16 expeditions now and there is hardly ever anyone who looks like me. Whether it’s a woman, a person of color, or a person from a developing country. And I want that to change. That’s a big part of why I do what I do.
Dr. Amon provides a technical explanation of the sub at 25:00 in which she explains that there is “horrible creaking” that is “unnerving.”
A person who doesn’t look anything like Diva Amon makes an unfortunate appearance at 3:09. It seems that the technical aspects of the dive and the submersible and, therefore, the safety of Will Smith and Diva Amon, are entrusted to someone who could appear in Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male Power.
The Nadir submersible is an off-the-shelf product described in “Blue Planet gives super-rich their new toys – submersibles” (Guardian), a Triton 3300/3. The engineers who designed it are not credited in the show, but searching for the sub’s name eventually leads to the Triton Team page and the engineering team that made the machine possible:
Plus two engineers on the top management roster:
In addition to being an inspiring story for Women’s History Month, by not mentioning any of the engineers who made the dive possible, the show serves as a great lesson for anyone considering making the mistake of majoring in engineering!

Watching the Nick Verola documentary on Triton, it seemed like a fascinating problem but a depressing place to work, long hours of being around only men, month after month. It would no longer be possible to build a new DSV limiting factor because of non war promoting sanctions on Russia.

Precisely. The “helpless disadvantaged women” propaganda is yet another scheme to add more people to the growing pool of parasites who fail upwards and distract the work horses with daily new ideologies and behavioral requirements.
Oh my goodness! I cannot imagine how Google’s algorithms found “Oh Bondage! Up Yours!” but forgot the much more recent 1991 industrial/hip-hop album by Consolidated – “Friendly Fa$cism” — so they could feature the window-smashing anti-Capitalist radical Male Feminist “Typical Male” jam as a bookend, at the very least!! For Pete’s sake is there no balance in this world?!?!
These dudes (mostly) were so Woke they were Woke before anyone! They were Wokejism!

Proof positive – right there: A Capitalist economy really is oppressive. Alphabet is #4 in market cap. with $1.8 trillion. Sergey and Larry should kill each other in a duel and give Google to Melinda Gates.
Consolidated’s discography is immense and all-encompassing and OF COURSE I am a big fan. At least, one of my personalities was. I had to kill that one before it killed me, and I’m still not sure I won!

My most important contribution to Women’s History Month this year was to give my mother a beautiful and unique gift, some flowers, a hand-drawn card, and a huge hug on her birthday – because I love her. She will never understand how her beautiful first born son became so badly injured by truly mendacious, fucked-up people that he cannot even fully explain it fully himself. She doesn’t have the terms or the background to understand it. She just continues to love me and wonder what hit me. She also never read any game theory and doesn’t understand what a zero-sum game really means.
Consider yourselves warned.
@Alex: “how her beautiful first born son became so badly injured by truly mendacious, fucked-up people” — I’m guessing that you’re referring to doctors. In any case, hang in there. You still have a lot of life in you, even if it’s not how you’d want to live.
@Mack: NO! I’m not referring to doctors directly. I’m referring to hustlers pretending they’re doctors, and for the most part NOT medical doctors.
Google’s main search page has reminded us of Women’s day, Black’s day, LGBTQ+++ day, Earth day, et. al. but yet, nothing about St. Patrick’s day which is today (and I’m not Irish).
Thank you for finding this “Girls need love” gem. The “thug/plug” rhyme made my day.
Adso: You’re welcome, but I can’t take credit. Google’s righteous diversity-aware employees and software found it for me.

Funder bars university from grant programme over white-male award line-up:
The decision, announced by the Snow Medical Research Foundation on 7 March, comes after the University of Melbourne released a picture of six white men — but no women or people of colour — receiving honorary degrees, one of the university’s highest accolades, in a ceremony on 28 February.
What do the founders of the Snow foundation look like? Are they perhaps privileged?

If we compare this to the list of most expensive divorces (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_divorces), we find that in the top 20 there are only women beneficiaries, only two of whom are BIPOC. Where is the diversity?
