When you have people openly stating that men cannot have sex without it being rape - unchallenged - what is to become of the young boys in our society? When you have men in their 40s onwards having their lives hauled across the coals of public scrutiny for pretty normal teenage party antics so far in their past - what are the future repercussions for how men and women have to now behave towards one another? It all looks pretty grim to me
Ya know, this whole thing had me befuddled for quite awhile. But then a few things occurred to me...
It's pretty clear that the trend is that men are supposed to be more feminine, and women are supposed to be more masculine. This long process has come to a head in the form of: Gender is fluid! Yeah androgyny! Down with evil manliness!
Obviously, that's not going to work.
The majority of Planet Earth consists of hetero men and women. If these issues aren't resolved, there will be no more human race (taken to its logical extreme, anyway).
When it comes to women, the idea du jour is that women should be "empowered". But what does that mean? Well, Killary Clinton is a good example. She's a real empowered woman, right? Sure, if you think that the kind of "empowerment" that society is promoting these days for women is a good thing. You can accuse anyone of anything, and you win! Great!
But have you ever thought about why Killary is so repulsive? I mean, physically she's no supermodel, but still... And then, it hit me: because she's a masculine woman. She's a politician, in a "man's world", doing "man things". This is supposed to be a good thing, but actually she's hideous. She is quite possibly worse than many male politicians... and she STILL lost the election. That's actually beautiful in several ways...
How about men? Well, we're supposed to be "in touch with our feelings", more emotional, less rational, and we're supposed to lay back and be househusbands and let women run and do everything in the world. IOW, we're feminine men.
The problem is that biologically, hetero women don't like feminine men, and hetero men don't like masculine women.
What to do?
Well, all the feminized men are sitting around practically paralyzed because they "can't" do what men normally do: think rationally about problems and then solve them. They're all sitting around waiting for women to stand up and say, "No! ENOUGH! We want real men!"
Put another way, that's what happens when you take the "man" out of men: they sit around, get fat and lazy, and wait for someone else to solve the problem.
Eh, yeah, that's never gonna happen.
That's why Jordan Peterson is so popular, IMO. Even those women who initially were repelled by JP ended up liking the guy. There are several reasons for this, but the primary one is because he's trying to fix men. Initially, I suspect many women didn't like that idea because "empowerment" is fun - even if it isn't actually being used by that particular person.
But anyone with 2 neurons in contact with one another can see that things cannot keep going the way they've been going. It's the ultimate "mess with their heads" maneuver from whatever level, because biological sex determines many, many things about a person. Screw that up, and NO ONE feels comfortable in their own skin - all the while we're being told that because some people don't feel comfy in their own skin, then
everyone should suffer. Now we're all screwed up, and no one can do anything. YAY!
Things are getting WAAAAY out of hand when a man's entire life can be obliterated by the mere
accusation of some fooling around back when he was 17. What, should we all just go turn ourselves in at the local police station for rape?! Gimme a break.
Everyone thinks that JP's message is primarily for men, but it's not. It's also equally for women. It's just that the way to go about it differs depending on whether you're a man or a woman. Since masculine men are lacking, he works to turn men back into men. The number of women who "follow" him and attend his lectures is naturally lower, but the numbers are still significant.
He's hoping that by getting men to fix themselves, that will make them happier and more productive. That will naturally lead to happier hetero women. This thought is generally poo-pooed because of this idea of "equality", but there is nothing that says that women will lose in the equality department should men act like men and women act like women again.
I think a large part of that assumption is the simple fact that both sexes have kind of forgotten what it means to act like their gender. Besides, legal equality and harmony in intergender relations are two
very different things, and they are NOT superglued together as the Lefty Loons would have us all believe. They're simply afraid of losing the actual
inequality they have created that now works in their favor - but not in favor of the average man
or woman.
Women can have as many rights as men, and they'll still choose a strong, confident provider more often than not. They'll also still choose nurturing, social professions more than men. More men will choose STEM careers. For crying out loud, we all do what we're good at. The problem is not how many of which gender are in some profession; the problem is how we as a society
value those contributions. Nowadays, we're doing it all wrong.
If you say that giving birth, being a housewife, and raising children is less important than being CEO of a giant company, then we have two problems:
1. You're an idiot
2. You just insulted my mother (prepare to die)
Personally, I would much rather have a woman as a nurse. For doctors, I'm 50/50. But for surgery I would prefer a man. Surgery is like repairing a car, and has far less to do with being social or nurturing or caregiving.
Anyway, I think these problems will begin to "sort themselves out" in the near future. I think it has already started.
Probably the best thing any of us can do to help it along is to stop thinking about all of this in the ways that society has imprinted upon us, and to simply start re-evaluating who we are and who we want to be. There's no need to blame this side or that, because all are equally responsible.
When we can see the chaos this is all causing, and we strongly suspect that it's part of "divide and conquer" on some level, then the only course of action is a Do-Over.
Besides, we're supposed to be understanding our own drives. Maybe part of the problem as to why this if often so difficult is because we didn't realize the extent to which our most core bio/psycho/social identity has been thoroughly messed up.
It's also a golden opportunity to become better versions of men and women that understand much more about what makes us all tick, and how best to deal with it.
) , that is vehemently opposed to Trump, and everything he does. Wouldn't it have been an easy thing for them to intimidate or bribe some of the Republican senators to vote "No" regarding Kavanaugh? And, there's no way in my mind that all Republicans are "white hats" and good. Wouldn't some of them be in the "club" and prioritize the "secret cabals" wishes? Take for instance Lindsay Graham; suddenly someone who has had clear signs of pathology, and I would say evil intentions, has now suddenly turned into a "reasonable" and "truth defending" individual? I think we can be quite confidant that there are pathological people, even psychopaths among the Republicans, too.
I couldn't quite put my finger on why Hillary is so repulsive, but there it is!
