I
don’t know about you, but I am a profound sexist, and I believe that men and
women are different.
For
instance, men will engage in a direct debate on the issues man to man, while
women will only talk about people not present. Men will argue with and insult
each other when they are sitting at a bar, whereas women having lunch together
will only “share” and sympathize while complaining about women not present.
Men
have a Culture of Insult; women have a Culture of Complaint.
The
boot camp for the Culture of Complaint is the U.S. high school, under the drill
instruction of the Mean Girl clique. The basic thing you learn in Mean-Girl
school is how to say: “I can’t believe she said that.” Vocal pauses are
recommended, as in “like” and “whatever.”
But
what does it mean? I will tell you.
The
male Culture of Insult is related to the fact that the only thing that matters
about a man is his courage. At some point, a man must respond to an insult with
his fists. The female Culture of Complaint is related to the fact that the only
thing that matters about a woman is her chastity. Sexual revolution, schmexual
revolution. A woman’s innocence is still central to her identity -- can you
spell “slut-shaming” -- and “I can’t believe she said that” is always an attack
on another woman’s chastity and purity. Hey, why do you think that Hillary
Clinton wore white at the DNC and the third presidential debate?
In
the old days, elections were a simple fight to the death between two champions.
A presidential debate was a sham fight to see who “won” the fight with his
courage and verbal swordplay. But a presidential contest with a woman in it is
different, because the question with a woman is not her courage but her
chastity.
When
the whole
Cathedral of media, education, and politics collapses on its fainting
couches in horror moaning “I can’t believe he said that” about Donald Trump
indulging in a bit of locker-room talk eleven years ago, you know that
something has changed in America.
What
has changed is that the culture of America is now a women’s culture, and so,
when you want to make political points, your political consultant will advise
you to launch an “I can’t believe she said that” meme. The issue now is not
which candidate is the more manly and courageous; the issue is which candidate
is more chaste.
The
year of 2016 has also been the year of the Special Snowflakes and
microaggressions and Safe Spaces. This is all because our education system is
now totally run by women and these women are enforcing their Culture of
Complaint upon the entire education process.
If
you have been following my writing none of this is a surprise to you. It was
back in 2008 that I wrote about the wisest 19th-century German you have never
heard of, sociologist Georg Simmel.
Simmel understood [back in 1900] that in the short term the public
sphere for women would be defined by the rules “created by men and for men” but
that eventually women would transform the public square to suit “a more
feminine sensibility.”
And
how.
In
my view, women are transforming the public square in a way that banishes men
from it, and forces men to create a new public square free of the woman’s
Culture of Complaint.
This
is because, after cultural Marxism goes to its well-deserved sleep with the
fishes, men will still need to establish street cred with a reputation for
courage, so men cannot submit to the woman’s Culture of Complaint. For one
thing, men cannot compete in the Chastity Stakes, for no man is chaste, or ever
will be.
Right
now, it looks like the pearl-clutching in the pews of the Cathedral will
deliver the 2016 presidential election to Hillary Clinton. But really, it
doesn’t matter. When the next war starts, as it will, the nation will need to
man up in short order, and women will demand that the president “do something”
to make us safe.
And
then the manly virtues will come back into vogue.
Really,
what is so bad about enduring the humiliations and the hazings of the left-wing
ruling class? Think of it as boot camp for the gathering storm. The test of
manhood has ever been to demonstrate that you can take whatever the world can
dish out and still keep on trucking. The instinct of every man must be to stand
with his hoplite or regimental or college or union brothers, and not to sneak
away to safety.
When
men fail to protect their women, the result is 1945 and A
Woman in Berlin: Eight Weeks in the Conquered City, by Anonymous. Or worse.
