The road less travelled

The feminist umbrella

I’ve noticed that many, otherwise decent women, keep using the term feminist despite mounting evidence that feminism isn’t what it proclaims to be. Why?

My suspicion is that women have a deep psychological need to be provided for and to be protected. Traditionally this was the job of fathers and husbands, but lately these have fallen in disrepute. Replaced by the State and feminism.

Feminism teaches women through the media and education that only other women can be trusted. Female experience seems to bear this out. Many little girls find their father remote, powerless or absent. Mostly this isn’t his fault, but children are not logical and neither are female emotions. Let alone female children’s emotions.

Father = Men = Irresponsible gets burned in her young mind. “Men cannot take care of me”, she feels as a young woman. Then, feminism comes along, offering shelter under the feminist umbrella and provision by Uncle State. She takes the bait and gets eaten alive, spiritually speaking.

It is often very difficult for people who are abused in a relationship to let go of that relationship, Parental Alienation Syndrome being a prime example. I think something similar is happening to many modern Western women who keep calling themselves feminist.

It is time women cut the ties with the abusive system that is feminism and learn to trust men again. This does mean cooperating with them to make it possible for men to take care of women, and to learn how to be truly feminine again.

To women still calling themselves feminist: Wouldn’t it feel better to just move on and leave feminism where it belongs, on the rubble heap of history? There’s so much more out there. Find a decent male guide and don’t look back.

Feminism defined

After having dealt with feminism for nearly all of my life, I thought it was a good idea to sum up the defining characteristics of this noxious ideology. In my view they are:

  • A nearly religious worldview that holds woman = good, man = bad.
  • Gynocentrism, seeing everything only through feminine eyes.
  • Female victimism.
  • Shameless lying.
  • One-sided promotion of female interests, blatantly disregarding others.
  • Sisterhood, in fact a form of female chauvinism.

I think that just about sums it up. If you meet someone that displays at least 4 of these 6 characteristics, then you can justifiably assume you’re dealing with a feminist. Beware!

Libertarianism and communism: brothers in arms

Libertarianism and communism at first sight don’t seem to have much in common. Upon closer look, however, one finds that they’re both based on human idolatry.

Libertarianism believes in the (eventual) infallibility of the Will of the Ego. The individual, omnipotent, omniscient and self-contained, Master of his own destiny. Worship Ego and paradise will follow.

Communism believes in the (eventual) infallibility of the Will of the State. The Party, omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent, designing society. Worship the State and paradise will follow.

In the end, Communism ignores the worth of all individuals, while Libertarianism ignores the worth of all individuals minus one. Both ideologies usurp the natural relational structures between people at a fundamental level. This can only lead to tragedy, which in the case of Communism has already happened. The ravages of Libertarianism still awaits us.

The death penalty

What would you think of the following conversation?

Dad: “Timmy, murder is absolutely wrong.”

Timmy: “Yes, Dad.”

Dad: “Timmy, get my shotgun. Mommy shouldn’t live after sleeping with the milkman.”

Timmy: “Understood, Dad. Do as you say, not as you do.”

Implementing the death penalty is just not congruent with civilized society. How could it be? Civilized society proclaims and implements protection of life and liberty. The death penalty takes away both. No life and no chance of redemption. The death penalty in a civilized society is like glasnost in a Communist system; it’s fundamentally incompatible. Only in this case, it is not an evil system that will be brought down, but an enlightened one that will be diminished. Kill a lawbreaker and you have just made society a little bit less civil. Less civility correlates with increased barbarity. In the final analysis, pumping poison into a lawbreaker is pumping poison in the very soul of civil society.

Bike

I love to bike, to feel the wind in my hair, smell the various odors, sense temperature changes, experience the weather in all its variations, feel the energy flowing through my body.

I work with technology in an office and this is one of the few ways of being in contact with nature, or what’s left of it. Switch off the mind, gaze at infinity and just push those pedals. Glide through the landscape, forgetting yourself. I just love it. Even when it rains. Especially when it rains and storms. There’s something very romantic about battling against, nay, dancing with a storm. Giving it all till one’s exhausted but satisfied.

Because of my bad health I can sense acutely the effect things have on my body. One whiskey, going to bed late or getting wound up over something, and I’ll pay for it the next day. Believe me if I tell you that biking is *very* healthy. It gives energy, both mental and physical, you lose weight and become stronger. It’s also good for your bloodpressure and heartrate, among other things.

I’ve never owned a car. I don’t like cars. They’re feminine, they enclose you and make you dependent. They isolate you, especially from nature. They seduce you, so you become enslaved, victim of your own laziness. They force themselves upon you, you’re almost obliged to be shackled to one these days, otherwise you’re presumed a failure.

Give me my iron horse and I’m happy

Why women hate men

They see men as appliances, and an appliance with an ego is just irritating. Like Talkie Toaster in Red Dwarf.

Requiem for a dream

Realdoll Stacy

This is what a century of feminism has wrought. I actually find the above Realdoll more attractive than most real women.

Gone is the illusion of romance. No more windy walks along the shore. No meaningful glances. No sweet whisperings. No nodding off by the fire reminiscing over a family album full of life.

Cold plastic and the memory of what could have been. At least no knives in the back.

You can scold me for the sad geek I am, but this is what I feel. This is what I sense. Yes, I’m fucked up, but there’s a reason for that. The mad of a society tell something about the madness of that society.

Helpmeet

Many people think that Eve was made as a “helpmeet” for Adam, a word often interpreted as helpmate. If we look at the Hebrew Bible, however, we see that the words used in Genesis 2:18 are “ezer k’negdo”, a counterpart helping Adam. The word ezer does not imply hierarchy.

My interpretation is that Eve was made to prevent Adam from being lonely, complement Adam (like Yin and Yang) and make Adam fully human, for only in relationship to others can we find our true humanity.

The idea of a “helpmate” seems to be a mistranslation or misunderstanding.

Why women don’t know themselves

Because they’re in love with themselves, and love is blind.
