It transpires that Mao
Zedong once proposed exporting 10 million Chinese women to the United
States. In a long conversation with Henry Kissinger at the Chinese
leader’s residence in 1973, Mao
moaned about “the dismal trade between the two countries,” saying
China was a “very poor country” with an excess of women.
That’s one page America might consider talking out of
the Little Red Book.
If we were to export women, politics would begin to move
to the right again. Oprah’s empire of imbeciles would shrink. And it
would become possible to rehabilitate English as our official language.
Distaff America has made a certain style of speech its signature:
“And he was like, ‘Come here’; and I was like, ‘No’; and
he was like, ‘You’re amazing’; and I was like, ‘I know.’”
The violence visited on the English language is
accompanied by a sound which Greg Gutfeld described as “that profoundly
irritating voice … that squeezes out anything smart from both places,
leaving only a ditz-filled diaper.”
During the interminable electioneering, the people,
prodded by pundits, have indicated that they’d like their politicians to
get tough with certain countries. I counsel caution. The nation’s
notorious aggression has to be channeled in more conciliatory ways. By
exporting American women to countries designated unfriendly we will be
crippling our enemies with (ostensible) kindness.
Imagine what a locust-like cloud of Girls Gone Wild, or
bumping and grinding semi-nude spring breakers, would do to Saudi
Arabia. Before long, pious Muslim men, the potential Jihadi pool, would
succumb to a bacchanalia of debauchery—sex, sloth, and stupidity.
Getting these export-quality women to undertake
the mission would be fairly easy. Bring in “Reality” TV.
Behind every “Kardashian” there are thousands of ready recruits.
America’s young women know next to nothing about Saudi
Arabia, Sharia, or the religious police (Mutawaa'in). But as
voracious attention seekers, they’re intimately familiar with the
pursuit of instant notoriety. “Reality” TV regularly lifts from
well-deserved obscurity a procession of such shameless
degenerates. Offer the lasses a lead in a show
“The Jihadi and I” and they’ll scratch and claw to go.
The “Bimbos, Not Bombs” covert operation would bring our
adversaries to heel.
China is already the beneficiary of such a pilot
project, except that it needs refining. Even by the standards of our
MTV-coated culture, this one is still too creepy for words. Indeed, a
great deal of carping goes on about the crappy stuff China exports to us
(by popular demand). Precious little is said about what we’re shipping
over there.
As Slate’s Daniel Brook discovered, Disney has been
allowing a licensee to market children’s underwear in China using some
rather risqué images. Sprawled on a billboard on “Beijing's Xinjiekou
Nandajie Avenue,” the reporter saw a “white
girl who looked all of 12, reclining in a matching bra-and-pantie
set adorned with Disney's signature mouse-ear design. In a particularly
creepy detail, the pigtailed child was playing with a pair of Minnie
Mouse hand puppets.”
The child sports a cleavage that looks as though it
might have been digitally enhanced.
If you ask me, a country marketing cheap electronics has
a leg up on one that peddles little Lolitas. But since our competitive
edge in smut is increasing exponentially and the age of consent
decreasing, why not make the most of it?
Begin by exporting Miley Cyrus to China. What an
excellent preemptive strike that would be. You just know that before
long we’re going to be forced to partake in the awakening of yet
another vacuous narcissist who flaunts her character flaws, and other
folds, before millions of video voyeurs. A Paris Hilton,
Britney Spears, and Lindsay Lohan in the making.
Admittedly, I know very little about “Hannah Montana”
and her handlers. What I’ve seen of the overbearing, extremely
precocious, brassy, and not very bright Miley Cyrus doesn’t conjure the
“wholesome” descriptive. When I think of “wholesome,” I think of, say,
Martina McBride. Miley in various states of undress, nestled in the
arms of father Billy Ray Cyrus, gazing at him seductively—this may be
cringe-making, but not surprising.
As for the whole blame Dad and Disney thing: Adopted by
left and right alike, the paternalistic depiction of women as passive
agents, demeaned by male-driven appetites, is feminist fiction. Miley
Cyrus may be 15, but she’s a single-minded exhibitionist, propelled by
the fame thing. She’s been raised like that. In all likelihood, Miley
originated the idea of posing for Vanity Fair and would not stop
pestering pappy until he relented. The typical American parent treats
his teenager like a Delphic oracle. Any parent who has such a demigod
under construction knows I’m right.
Those who persist in the he-done-me-wrong routine don’t
have teenagers. Or are oblivious to
the reversal in parent-child roles that has come to typify the dynamics
in the American family.
In any event, as Lou Dobbs often exhorts, it’s time to
get tough on China. I say let’s get dirty. Export Miley to China. What
better way to addle the young minds of the competition?
