You make a lot of good points here, but I disagree with the underlying assumption that we need to pander to the female mind. Objective reality in the end is the main force.

You make a lot of good points here, but I disagree with the underlying assumption that we need to pander to the female mind. Objective reality in the end is the main force. Perceived reality can affect objective reality (Like taking a BB gun to the airport, not a real gun, but people think it is, and all the associated trouble that comes with it), but it is better to understand how things really work first, and then work on the social side of the equation. The obsession with narrative explains a huge amount about why the American Empire is in decline, because it made decisions that felt good, or sounded good instead of being *actually* good decisions. Yeah, you are right, the mainstream right often has shit social intelligence, but there are times where dudes just need to find the balls to say "shut up, bitch". But then again, knowing when and how to play that card requires discretion, and for various reasons higher IQ people tend towards the left, so you are right we have a worse deck of cards to play here.
As regards art, my view is you need to tell a story first, and then the themes will be emergent out of that. A lot of films with over the top leftist messages are also flops or cringe.
Leftists appear to have ruined Hollywood with wokeshit in recent years. There are also some notable examples of woke video games that failed hilariously (most recently the Suicide Squad game). I'm sure more general examples of this are all over the place if you look for them in our post-Floyd era.
To the extent that it's true that the libs are good at making art, that only seems to be true when they don't lean too hard into being total libshits, and/or when they're actually the counter-culture and not the dominant religion.
Anyways. "Shut up, bitch" tends to fail in the modern context because Women's Tears (see Hanania's article on this) are way too strong when we are operating under the (false) assumption that men and women are the same, should be treated the same, should do all of the same things in life, etc. As with race, the underlying equity delusion has to be undermined first. Telling a woman to shut up about politics will only work if everyone understands that women are ill-suited for politics to begin with. If not you just come across as a big mean bully.
If just swallowing the stigma and bullying the woman actually worked, okay maybe, but part of my point is that I don't think it does. The woman doesn't actually have to shut up and anyone watching is likely to see her as the victim and you as the aggressor, so you're not changing any of their minds either.
At some point the nature of the interaction has to be changed such that telling liberal women to shut up about politics no longer has a stigma in the first place, and rather the stigma attaches to women for expressing liberal political opinions. At least, if we continue with the premise that liberal women are a problem who need to be solved.

Still, good piece overall.

You wanna get laid or be right / "right"?

Sometimes, you have to swallow the stigma that comes with being seen as a bully, if it's really something important. Pick your battles of course.
