Sarah Hoyt writes about dominance.
Males establish their dominance by fighting, sometimes to the death. But females – ah, females are something special, and anyone who has ever gone to an all girls’ school will know our species uses the same method – establish their dominance by bullying to such an extent that underling females stop ovulating, due to extreme stress.The only people who believe a female hierarchy is peaceful and caring are males who look at it from the outside and see the dominant female’s constant interfering and “bless her heart” as a “caring” thing and not the horrible oppression it is.
So – this is where we are. Men no longer fight in public, not even to defend women. But women do still bully and push and shove in private, and drive other women insane.
Is society better for it?
Instead of men jostling and threatening each other, we have women appealing to an all powerful government whom they want to guard, protect and look after them.
What are you going to do when your government turns on you? And what are you going to do if all those cozy things you voted for become oppressive? The one who pays for you to give birth might also decide you need a forced abortion. Why not? Most other countries who have that kind of power have, at some point or another. The one who pays to keep you in comfort will at some point decide that you’ve lived long enough.
How is pretending men and women are exactly the same and their relationships are exactly the same even sane?
What happens when you build your entire society on a lie? The lie that women need no protection might seem to favor women – but if it did, how many women would now be at the mercy of government, and how many children growing up fatherless.
You can laugh at the punching out matches in old books and movies, but look at our illegitimacy rate, our drugged-to-the-gills young women, our fatherless children, our dropping-out-of-society male youth.
Who are you to laugh at the structures of the past?
