Sad News about Providence College
Crisis: My College Succumbed to the Totalitarian Diversity Cult by Anthony Esolen
I thought the east coast Dominicans would have been able to avoid the mistakes of the Jesuits.

TAC: Bishop Vann Names Dr. Pia de Solenni (’93) as Theological Consultant
While it is an exaggeration to say that Thomas Aquinas College the Latin Church of Orange are two SJW-converged institutions (well, it's an exaggeration for at least the former), both do uphold Catholic feminism, or feminism lite. There is no leadership for the restoration of patriarchy to be found there?

How to Treat Members not in the Group
The war of standards, or what rule of etiquette?
A question that will become more important as people realize that the modern nation-state, especially as it has been manipulated by those in power through immigration, is no political community.
What are the proper norms for interpersonal relations, especially members of the opposite sex? While it is not necessary to antagonize strangers without reason, how should men respond to hostile women or feminists? Someone would say that we should uphold chivalry or previous codes of conduct for gentlemen. But is that a proper response to those who are hostile to us and may even seek to destroy our livelihoods? Sociability/affability is a virtue require for living with others -- but this may be restricted to those with whom one forms a community. For those who have shown themselves to not be allies, avoidance, silence, or some word of disapproval or rejection may be necessary and justified. Some may fear economic retaliation in the workplace by SJWs -- that is a legitimate consideration. But should men be willing to cut ties with those who do not share the same culture nor seek to be a part of their community? I think so -- the cutting of ties is the last remedy with respect to those who will not change their behavior, and men need to be willing to go through with it in order to protect themselves, their families, and their communities. This may require that they change jobs or where they reside, so that they can live with integrity.
"But that's not being nice!" Or, "you're alienating someone instead of being Christ to them." If they are of good will and can accept correction, then correction can be given. Otherwise, it is they who have alienated themselves by embracing a prideful, unnatural ideology that is detrimental to women, men, and society at large. Perhaps if enough virtuous people (especially men) signal to them that their acceptance of this ideology and any other objectionable behavior is unacceptable they may seek to change and be reconciled.
What about African-American community? If they do not seek to observe white standards of conduct or be part of white America, then what is to be done other than separation?

Who are the biggest white knights?
Academics/intellectuals, or generally men who have certain personality traits in addition to intelligence?

Alternatives to Superhero Movies
As Marvel and DC continue to wreck their properties by oversaturating the market... what are the alternatives? Thought about a Strike Back movie, then I saw this article in EW from last year. The movie will probably have sex scenes like the Skinemax original series but if one can ignore those parts, the action sequences should be decent and the gunplay "somewhat" realistic.
