By : We,
the ingesters of the red pill, are now well familiar with the extent of
lying and deceit by feminists. What I want to do in this post is
provide another couple of examples placing emphasis on the intercultural
aspects of that deceit, and how it amounts to a form of cultural
interference that has much in common with the Christian crusades.
Further, by going intercultural, we might obtain a greater appreciation
of the patriarchy-matriarchy duality that is integral to all cultures,
universally:
BOYS AND MEN JUST DON’T MATTER
From the first paragraph from Huffington Post article by Ms Jan Diehm, 1 In 9 Girls Marries Before Age 15, And Here’s What Happens To Them [1]:
December 10 marks the anniversary of the presentation of the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which recognizes that there are “equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family.” But, because of the widespread practice of child marriage, 14 million girls under 18 are denied those rights each year. Here are some facts about the lives of child brides…The article then trots out the predictable maps and graphics showing that 14 MILLION girls are married every year before their 18th birthday. Girls’ death before childbirth and low education of girls and poverty proves all-round global mayhem directed at girls, presumably, by The Patriarchy.
No mention of boys. We have no idea what boys experience. Are boys better off? Or are they worse off? Clearly, neither Ms Diehm nor her employer (Huffington Post) is interested in this question.
Now factor in Stephen Komotho’s letter to Mike Buchanan [2] where he, as a Kenyan, brings to light the boys’ perspective of life as Masai warriors and child laborers. In other words, in cultures where girls are frequently removed from school to be forced into marriage to much older men, boys are also removed from schools early to be pitted against wild animals and warriors from hostile tribes, and to learn about protecting and providing for families. Many young girls removed from school early get married… some die in early childbirth. Many young boys removed from school early become hunters and “morans” (warriors)… some die early in the heat of survival. I’m not too sure which of these parties has the rawer deal, but most of us would realize that the “patriarchal privilege” of fending off lions and tribal warriors is unlikely to be the barrel of entitled laughs that feminists would seem to presume it to be.
Writing for Slate.com, with his reference to the culling of men in war-torn Chechnya as an example, Tim Harford [3] provides a more realistic outline of the relationship between the patriarchal privilege of dying prematurely and how this impacts on women’s marital prospects.
[SIDENOTE: At this point, it has been difficult to track down any reliable research establishing a consistent relationship between polygyny [4] and the casualty rates of men compared to women. Anecdotally, historical evidence suggests a relationship between polygyny and heavy war casualties among men resulting in a surplus of women available for marriage. In the context of contemporary African tribes, how might different cultural pressures on men and women play out in the patterns of polygyny, polyandry and polygamy? These are non-trivial questions that cannot just be glossed over in the interests of furthering a sexist feminist agenda.]
Developed and developing countries (2nd and 3rd world) are especially vulnerable to being overtaken by the feminist propaganda machine unopposed. For example we see a similar pattern taking place in Iran, where the purported plight of women in divorce, without any reference to how divorcing men are treated, serves to promote unopposed the feminist agenda of a world-wide conspiracy against women. Happily, we have Ali Mehraspand set the record straight on the true nature of divorce in Iran [5].
This scale of idiocy has been ongoing for the best part of 50 years. It doesn’t matter where you look… if it’s a publication peddling The Patriarchy Oppresses Women agenda, you can rest assured that it will cherry-pick only those aspects that they can construe as “oppression” of women while omitting those aspects that prove the opposite. Pick your topic. Wage gap. Domestic abuse. Doesn’t matter.
For example, to this day we continue to see feminists whine about the 75 cents (varies with the weather – you’ll need to choose your own favorite) on the dollar myth, even though the wage gap myth [6] was first debunked a good ten years ago (July/August 2004 issue of NCFM’s Transitions) and multiple times since. Even the President of the USA got into the act in his State of the Union address this week, opting for the 77 cent version.
What part of it’s a Maslow problem, stoopid [7] do people not understand?
WOMEN DOING IT TO WOMEN
Let’s try another one. Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) = patriarchy = rape culture. Except for one teency weency little problem. It’s women doing it to women.On their Fact sheet No2 41, the World Health Organisation [8] regurgitates the predictable rhetoric linking female genital mutilation (FGM) to… you guessed it… The Patriarchy:
FGM is recognized internationally as a violation of the human rights of girls and women. It reflects deep-rooted inequality between the sexes, and constitutes an extreme form of discrimination against women.
Writing for the Huffington Post, Hilary Burrage launches The Feminist Statement on FGM [9] beginning with this:
The basic premise of our statement is this:Under her subheading Powerful invisible interests, you begin to suspect that sunlight is beginning to penetrate into the dankest, densest, darkest recesses of her atrophied brain, when she acknowledges that “… some of those who benefit are the grandes dames of the mutilating communities – the secret Sande Society women who control or perpetrate the torture.” But just as you begin to suspect that Burrage might be capable of at least some semblance of a snail’s level of rational thought, out trots the predictable “patriarchal conspiracy” theory:
Patriarchal oppression is the bedrock of female genital mutilation (FGM) and related harmful traditional practices… female genital mutilation (FGM) in all its forms is cruelty and abuse.
But always behind them stand the shadowy men who pull the real strings: the men who prefer child brides, the men who sell their barely teenage daughters, freshly mutilated, into marital slavery, the men who decree, perhaps via their womenfolk, that ‘unclean’ (uncircumcised) women are unfit to be members of the community.The reality, however, does not sit so comfortably with the “it’s the patriarchy stoopid” narrative. Chapter 6 of Jomo Kenyatta’s book (1965) [10] explains that it is female surgeons performing the clitoridectomy, and female sponsors and female villagers participating in the celebrations. As per Kenyatta’s example, FGM is a girl’s rite of passage into adulthood (for which an equivalent ritual exists for boys):
The initiation of both sexes is the most important custom among the Gikuyu. It is looked upon as a deciding factor in giving a boy or girl the status of manhood or womanhood in the Gikuyu community. This custom is adhered to by the vast majority of African peoples and is found in almost every part of the continent.You will likely see the same pattern of FGM pretty much wherever you look: it’s women doing it to girls.
I’ve done considerable research on FGM towards my publications, and at no stage have I ever found a single reference suggesting that it was a man or cabal of men forcing FGM on women or girls. In the strictest terms, FGM appears to be “women’s business”… a women’s-only sacred ritual. In a very real sense, FGM generally appears to be a celebration of what it means to be a woman (this is not to condone it… I personally find the mutilation of perfectly healthy body-parts objectionable, but let us call it for what it is… FGM is not intentional abuse but another culture’s form of celebration). As a celebration of tribal girls’ rites of passage into adulthood, FGM is part of a ceremonial process to which men are neither invited nor wanted (boys and men celebrate their own rites of passage). There might be exceptions, but I personally have never found any.
And in the meantime, feminists’ interference in the traditions of cultures that they know nothing about amounts to an especially toxic kind of cultural interference, especially when you factor in the forced circumcision campaigns in Africa [11]… some of us might be reminded of the Christian crusades [12].
What part of “women doing it to women” do these freaks not understand?
THE OTHER DIMENSION OF OPPRESSION
The irony is that in feminists’ obsession with The Patriarchy, there exists a whole other class of oppressors that is getting away with murder. Which brings us to relational aggression [13], and this factors in the reality of the oppression of women by women and the nature of matriarchal authority. Phyllis Chesler’s Woman’s Inhumanity to Woman [14] provides insights suggesting that women cannot count on support from women just because they are women, and the childish tendency of feminists to regard all women as friends just because they are women suggests an emotionally stunted view of the world.With their tendency to project their infantile view of the world, we should expect feminists to reduce any discussion of the relationship between patriarchy and matriarchy to a competition of meanness and who is the bigger bully. Truth is much more complex than the victim narrative that constitutes feminist discourse.
Recent developments in cognitive science have shed light on the importance of neuroplasticity (neural plasticity) [15], and how experience wires the brain. One estimate is that 90% of the brain’s wiring is accomplished within the first four years of a child’s life. While we might have reason to question how such an estimate was established, we at least have a means of contextualizing first cause. For irrespective of whether it’s four years or eight years or twelve years, there is one hell of a lot of wiring taking place in a child’s brain while under the care of the primary nurturer. The primary nurturer has an enormously important role in what experiences a child is first introduced to, and thus, how their brains are wired.
This brings us to deeper concepts relating to philosophy, semiotics, phenomenology and pragmatism (semiotics). These abstract concepts are beyond the scope of this article. But they have very practical implications. For example… children first learn violence from their primary nurturer… and given that women are the primary abusers of children – refer Stefan Molyneux [16] – this should come as no surprise.
My eBook Tyrants of Matriarchy [17] examines the matriarchal dimension of oppression in considerably more detail (available in paperback from Amazon).
CONFIDENCE TRICK OF THE MILLENIUM
The key to understanding how feminists have gotten away with their ruse is projection. There is a lot of projection going on. We need to wade through this projection to get to the truth of the matter:1) The definition of psychological projection [18] is usually implied in a negative context. In this article, we define it in a more universal context based on the idea that people infer other people’s motivations from cultural assumptions and personal experience, and the assumption that “this is what I would be thinking if I was behaving the same way.”
2) The feminist agenda is a projection of feminists’ toxic presumptions about the world. That is, their reasoning is “this is what I would be thinking if I was behaving in the same (patriarchal) way.” But they are wrong. There is no aspect of their toxic world view that characterizes either “The Patriarchy” or the thinking of normal folk;
3) Similarly, everyone else has also been projecting. But the projections of normal folk are more naïve than they are toxic. Within the context of feminism, their projections are based on the assumptions of chivalry. The assumption is that nobody can be so stupid, and so feminists’ charges have been accepted at face value:
i) The charge from feminists: “women have been oppressed for millennia.”
ii) Our thought processes in reply:
“Well gee, I don’t see it, but maybe I just don’t get it. Nobody can be
this stupid, so maybe women really do have a reason for feeling
oppressed. As a privileged member of The Patriarchy, I have a duty to
hear out their side of the story. They cannot possibly be lying… why
would they? They are, after all, the gentler, kinder sex.”
iii) An important aspect of contemporary
projection is the conflation of feminism with women, and the essential
role of chivalry in sustaining the feminist agenda;
iv) Feminism has turned out to be the
ultimate confidence trick, a shit-test harnessing the projections of the
innocent, the gullible and the chivalrous;
v) It thus follows that the intelligence of feminists has been overestimated.
4) How have feminists been able to pull off this confidence trick?
The short answer is that the mainstream life-science paradigm is broken.
This has created a vacuum. By presuming that the key to understanding
life processes lies in the genetic blueprint, the all-important role of
The Matriarchy has been rendered invisible to us, and this freed up
feminists to push through their toxic agenda unopposed. And so we
believed them when they told us “It’s The Patriarchy stoopid.” Without a
reliable life-science paradigm to inform us, we never saw the dumb,
obedient chivalry that lies at feminism’s rotten heart.CONCLUSION
The Patriarchy is one important dimension of the complex system [19] that is culture. The other crucial dimension, the one rendered invisible by feminists, the one first teaching children about hypergamy, gender roles, relational aggression, violence, genital mutilation and all the rest, along with the importance of compliance with said cultural norms, is The Matriarchy.BIBLIOGRAPHY
