"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Australia to the USA...
...we'll see your woke dumbassery, and raise you: "anti-racist dentistry", anyone?
Anti-racist is the 'tactical' of the left. You can put it in front of everything. Tactical canteen, tactical hat, etc. I can't wait for anti-racist affirmative action.
It's a well known fact in academia that aboriginals did not know how to breastfeed until Jack Duggan aka The Wild Colonial Boy, arrived and opened the first clinic in 1804. The methods he used were not only racist but did not include males who breastfeed. We need to reeducate first nations people who lactate to acceptable modern standards. There, I saved you 4 years and a huge student debt.
Those studies are rubbish of course. But there was a huge problem when the 'great men of science' got involved in mothering in the 1800s. Midwives were pushed aside in favor of 'modern' methods. My grandfather's mother died soon after her next child in the 1880s. OK, but 2 previous wives died the same way! These 'great men' did not believe in germs. And then they went the other way and started bathing babies in powerful disinfectant, probably the cause of the Polio epidemic! All women are now encouraged to breastfeed much longer for healthy children. But pre WW2 doctors used to think it was 'unhygienic'. It's one case in which the feminists have been right.
'Major polio epidemics were unknown before the 20th century; up until that time, polio was an endemic disease worldwide. *Mothers who had survived polio infection passed on temporary immunity to their babies in the womb and through breast milk.* As a result, an infant who encountered a polio infection generally suffered only mild symptoms and acquired a long-term immunity to the disease. With improvements in sanitation and hygiene during the 19th century, the general level of herd immunity in the population declined; this provided circumstances where epidemics of polio became frequent.' !!!

Can I be a tactical high speed low drag anti-racist ally?
DeleteWell, I don't know if we can get all of that on a t-shirt, but I guess it would be ok.
DeleteTee shirt? I want it on a velcro backed patch!
DeleteThe mind boggles ....
ReplyDeleteI'm still trying to decipher 'Decolonised lactation care among First Nations women'. I'm not sure I can, without at least three university degrees.
ReplyDeleteI don't know, but I'd bet it involves chocolate milk

all those national geographic pictures were lies?
DeleteMick, I'm much obliged!
DeleteVeeshir - seems entirely plausible.
hmmm, decolonizing usually means unalive all the white people, so that's no help in deciphering it.
DeleteI forgot to deplore the racism inherent in my comment.
DeleteI do so now.
Chocolate milk! Haw!
