'The big losers will be the large bulk of a society which has become degenerate, including all the true believer useful idiot zealots.'
By William Collins aka MRA-UK: This long essay addresses the work of a number of authors relating to the decline of historically dominant civilisations. Always we will have one eye on the implications for ourselves, now, in the Western culture. The focus will alight on the role of women in the process of decline, as expressed by the authors named in the title. Both the emancipation of women and the emergence of sexual licence find themselves in the dock to be tried.
I could have added Oswald Spengler and Arnold Toynbee to the title. In fact, the views of these authors will provide a suitable introduction to the subject of the rise and fall of civilisations. But it is with Unwin, Glubb and (very recently) Sulikowski that the gender issue comes to the fore. These authors I treat in chronological order: Unwin first and then Glubb before reaching the present with Dani Sulikowski, though she might be surprised to find herself in such company.
