Men are polygynous. Women are serially monogamous. Women are hypergamous. It follows that the mean number of sexual partners a man has will always be enormously larger than the median number of sexual partners a man has. The mean number of sexual partners a woman has is necessarily equal to the mean number of sexual partners a man has. It follows that the median number of sexual partners a woman has will always be larger than the median number of …

Fertility and corporal punishment
To 1933, wives in movies are never spanked by their husbands. From 1933 to 1945, wives in movies are sometimes spanked, but it is shocking, unexpected and unusual. From 1945 to 1963, wives in movies and on television are sometimes spanked and it is routine, respectable, and usual. For example in “I love Lucy” we are never shown a spanking on screen, but Lucy is regularly very afraid of receiving a well deserved spanking for her many amusing misdeeds. In …
The next big thing in progressivism
Recently there was ass bandits. Then there was transgender. For a while it looked liked the next big thing would be pedophobia – the “anti bullying” campaign sought to protect pre pubescent children of ambiguous sex who had physically affectionate relationships with obviously homosexual middle aged males from being “bullied” and sought to normalize pre pubescent children of ambiguous sex who have physically affectionate relationships with obviously homosexual middle aged males. But no, it is clear that the next big …
The overwhelming majority of rape accusations are false
Follows from the poster girl principle. If poster girls suck then every other girl sucks as badly or worse. For example for example Marie Curie was a second rate scientist, therefore there are no great female scientists. Emmett Till was not lynched, nor killed for whistling at a white woman, therefore there are no examples of blacks being lynched in an obviously unjust fashion, or with reckless disregard for justice. Earlier I posted this argument, but the early version neglects …
Patriarchy and fertility
We observe high fertility in those nations and cultures where patriarchy is legally and socially enforced, in particular Muslim Afghanistan and Christian Timor Leste. Affordability of family formation has little effect. Clearly males in patriarchal societies are highly motivated to have children. They will do whatever it takes so that they can afford a family. Thus, if pro social behavior in a patriarchal society is rewarded by a wife and the ability to support a family, you get highly motivated …
Western Civilization
Western civilization is a bunch of things that tend to come together. Christianity (forget that “Judeo Christian” crap, Judaism still has the problems Jesus complained about) Classic Greek art, culture and philosophy (hey, compare our comic books with Greek statues, then compare with Indian statues or Japanese comic books, and no one except us and the Greeks does philosophy) Western music descended from seventeenth and early eighteenth century composers, in particular and especially Bach. If you are fan of country …
Separation of Church and State has failed catastrophically.
Same problem as anarcho capitalism. The vacuum is apt to be filled. And today it is filled with an official government belief system that daily becomes more extreme, and is enforced more coercively. In retrospect it is clear that in England the demand to disestablish the Anglican Church came from a competing religion, then called Evangelism, descended from Puritanism, which was already most of the way to becoming the state religion of England though it continually changed its name in …
Teaching boys to be beta
I was watching “Troy”. And for the first hour it was totally great. The mother of Achilles, who has the power of prophesy, and is believed to be a goddess or something similar, prophesies that if he goes to war with Troy, he will die in that war, but his name will live for a thousand years. This is actually conservative, for Achilles was part of the collapse of Bronze age civilization, three thousand years ago, and his name still …
The feminized police force and army
1. In response to the Orlando terrorist massacre there were women in uniform among those police responding. This was absurd, outrageous, despicable, shocking, and immoral. We should not expose women to danger – and because you cannot treat women differently to men, no police were exposed to danger. 2. In response to the Orlando terrorist massacre police of both sexes hid some distance away for three hours while the shooter continued shooting at leisure and victims continued to bleed out …
What people really mean when they say there is a lot of rape
Official, politically correct truth, is that there is a whole lot of rape, and very few rape convictions, and when women claim to have been raped, it is always true. Now of course the poster girl law applies. If there was a whole lot of unpunished rape, or if most rape accusations were true, or even if more than a tiny proportion were true, then when Rolling Stone and suchlike go looking for a poster girl, they would be able …
