Rise of the KAF

A couple of weeks ago, I'm in the endodontist's office waiting to spend a crap ton of money on the first two, count 'em, two root canals, and as is usual these days, there's a TV set on in the background. At 7:30 in the morning, the last thing I want to do is watch TV. But I notice it's tuned to the Disney channel which is running some show that appears to be about teenagers, geared to a teenaged audience. I wasn't much paying attention until I noticed a basketball game going on. It appeared to be some kind of a one-on-one grudge match between two protagonists, one of which was some guy that looked like he was supposed to be an arrogant douchebag, and his opponent was a girl.

Naturally, the girl won.

The game consisted of a rapid-fire series of cuts that showed the girl making jump shots over the top of the douchebag, getting around him for an easy layup, smacking the ball out of his hands while he was dribbling, and making nothing-but-net 3-pointers. And then after the game, she trash talks him and stalks off the court in triumph, leaving him abject and humiliated.

I just get so tired of this.

If you want to have a high-school drama where an arrogant douchebag gets his come-uppance at the hands of a girl, fine. But this is just silly. Because in order not to offend the feminists, every movie and TV show now has to have a KAF (kick-ass female) either as a lead or as a major character, who can compete toe-to-toe with the most physically competitive men.

So now we're regularly regaled with ludicrous plot lines that have 5' 110 lb. teenaged girls beating the snot out of three 200 lb. men.

We laugh at those old 50s TV shows that showed married couples sleeping in separate beds. Ho ho ho, we laugh. They're trying to pretend sex doesn't exist. How puritanical. How silly. But I think the proliferation of these KAF characters is equally silly. In order to conform with the strictures of feminist ideology, we can't *bear* the truth that men can, generally, physically outperform women, and the competition isn't even close.

So we haven't become more "liberated", we just close our eyes to different things, in order not upset a different set of uptight, holier-than-thou prigs.

But then suddenly reality bites you on the butt:

In preparation for two upcoming friendlies against Russia, the U.S. women’s national (soccer) team played the FC Dallas U-15 boys academy team on Sunday and fell 5-2, according to FC Dallas’ official website.

But... but... how could this happen? Where are all the KAFs that we see on TV? Surely these scrawny teenaged boys should have been no match for the grrls and their awesome grrl power.

Next up, my other pet peeve from nonsense TV: the racially-integrated street gang. But that will be for another time.

Someone in the comments of the article was blubbering about "misogyny", and argued that the USWNT wasn't going "all out" to win. But others pointed out it scarcely would have mattered:

This is hardly surprising. My U14 boys teams (12 and 13 year olds) were faster and stronger than the U19 women's teams in our league, and we only played them a couple times because it seemed pointless beyond that. So now take a U15 team (14 year olds) against a women's team, and the boys are older, even faster and stronger than my 12 and 13 year olds -- what do you expect to happen? Doesn't matter if the USWNT was trying hard or not, they would have their hands full.

Which is one of the reasons why I think the progressives are pushing hard on the transgender issue. If the genders are confused, it is easier to hide the obvious truths of gender differences.

And now for something completely different: An antifag goon getting his ass beat by a black Trump supporter wielding a large stick:

The soundtrack is unnecessary and annoying, so you can mute it and not miss anything.
