β€œ I recognize the female distaste for personal responsibility and I understand women’s determination to avoid all personal accountability from anyone and anything, including God and gravity, for their own actions. β€œ

I think of a man, and throw out reason and accountability.

Brilliant observations. Feminist hero stories seem to end up in death more often than not. Unfortunately, they attempt these suicidal moves with just as much care civilizationally, sawing off the branch they are sitting on.

I’ve never seen the words β€œpoignant photograph” and β€œInstagram” used in the same sentence before. Too bad β€œpoignant” doesn’t mean β€œcruelly ironic”, as the writer intended it to.

I have the suspicion that most women are not really conscious. It’s like they live in a fragile world of dreams and emotions. I can’t quite put it into words, but they don’t seem pay attention to reality.

They wage war on reality and then, in the long run, reality utterly crushes them.

Hire an unlicensed bungee diving team operating a grey market operation to save money...get expected results. Plenty of places in Brazil she could've gone that were legal with trained personnel.

She found out that the dirt in Brazil isn’t magic, but is quite firm.

More meaning in one article than entire books.

The reality is the third worlders don't even care in the slightest when these things happen right in front of them.

When I worked at a ski resort, most of the seasonal staff were college kids from South America. Countless were the occasions when, through negligence or happenstance, people would end up getting bowled over or dumped from a lift chair just after takeoff. The third world lifties wouldn't bat an eye, couldn't have cared less, zero concern whatsoever.

That's just a small example. But the reality is that caring about others or their safety is so far from a "universal human trait" that it may as well be labeled an endangered trait.

they generally have the same perspective as animals. they will look after their immediate clan but anyone or anything else is of no consequence to them at all.

One of the mantras I made my daughter memorize early, β€œnever get yourself into a situation you don’t know how to get out of”.

A "free spirit" is a person devoid of a sense of reality and self-preservation. In this case, a person who underestimated the dangers of gravity and overestimated the competence of the staff.

women are not raised to own any part of themselves so the idea the feminism is our church and religion is pure farce. feminism is slavery on its best day.

Equality as well. Everyone and everybody can do everything. We're all equal. The cooperate world wants to believe that just following the policy and procedures manual replaces a competent mind. The inversion of how incompetent and low IQ people are all super heroes and high IQ and competent people are nobody special We're all the same.

These guys probably had all the check marks in the boxes to certify that they all can be trusted with people's lives. Are the policy manuals gonna break her fall at the bottom. That should save her.
