Women gone nuts

The Zman asks “Why Did Women Go Nuts?” Simple. When you repress bad sexual behavior by males, and do not repress bad sexual behavior by females, you get very little bad sexual behavior by males, and a whole lot of bad sexual behavior by females. I see women behaving as if raised by apes in the jungle. Things are going to hell because we fail to restrain bad behavior that …

Why female status limits fertility

Men want to have sex with as many women as possible, and give them no support. Women want to have sex with the highest status men available (as women perceive status, which is similar to the way a small evil child raised by cannibal head hunters perceives status), and be supported by men. A prisoner’s dilemma problem, the war of the sexes, ensues. If both freely pursue their interests, we …

Why feminists support Islamic Rape Jihad

Doubtless you have heard of the recent Idaho gang rape. This was Islamic Rape Jihad, not just Muslim rapists, because the girl was five, because the boys put it on video, because the boys expected the support of their community, and because the boys received the support of their community. Feminist response to this rape shows what feminists really want. Everyone reacting to this in an indignant manner is a …

When the rot set in

Eighteenth century view was that women were sex crazy and needed to be kept under tight control or else in their feverish sexual lust they would destroy the family, and because state, society, and the church rested on the family, if you let women loose, everything would fall apart. Nineteenth century view was that women were wonderful, and the marital contract only needed to be enforced against men, never against …

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 …

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 …

Sex and natural law

When it comes to ordinary crime, for example mugging and burglary, natural law is obvious: What is crime? Crime is bad actions that are apt to be met by physical violence, socially approved physical violence. What is law? Law is social approval for violence against certain kinds of bad actions. If you see a conflict between someone who is mugged, and someone who is mugging, you will naturally support the …

The reason that women need to be subordinated for successful reproduction

Examining difference in fertility, it is clear that fertility is primarily controlled by female status relative to their husbands.  The more women are subordinated, the higher the fertility.  Japan is a good test case.  Not only did fertility dramatically drop when General McArthur emancipated women, but in feudal Japan, fertility among high status families was below replacement when women were high status, indicated by upward mobility and room at the …

The false life plan

Men and women are happiest if successfully performing their traditional roles. This is to be expected, since whites and east asians, the descendents of civilizations, are descended from those that did perform their traditional roles. The Cathedral, however, presents girls, in school and on television, with a false life plan: That they will follow the same path as males, and marriage and family will just spontaneously happen while they are …
