Our Terrible State of Affairs

people choose fascism because they are weak

they are afraid of making decisions for themselves and of being accountable for the results and consequences of those decisions
· they are afraid of thinking for themselves and want others to do the choosing for them
· but they are even more scared of what people who are sure of themselves can do on their own
· they do not want to have in their midst people who think for themselves and live according to their own principles and values
· they know they cannot be happy following the whims a one disturbed and incompetent person and choose to live miserably instead among individuals who are also forced to live miserably (misery loves stupid company)

some people need religion because without strict guidance and external discipline they would be criminals and outcasts
· they are truly empty inside
· some people need a “strongman”, dictator, king, because they are dissatisfied with their lives and want to have easy, simple lives with someone telling them what to do
· they want to live predictable, regimented lives with few choices and limited freedom
· they do not like seeing people living happier lives autonomously under more fair, egalitarian, and open-minded morals than their own
· they need to be in conflict with anyone or anything to satisfy their violent urges
· they want to live like children their entire lives

but some people, actually the majority of people in most societies, accept life as it is
· they do not need "strongmen" to humiliate and oppress them, and to tell them who to like, what to do, and how to do it
· these people know what living in freedom, liberty, and mutual respect is, and choose to take the reins of their own lives and live under their own terms without the need to oppress, rape, or humiliate anyone else to feel powerful and satisfied
· to survive, people like this must continue to think for themselves, and find like-minded people to associate and live with, conflict free
· they love to live in harmony with others who also want to live in harmony

anybody who says that the upcoming leadership team upholds Judeo-Christian values is full of shit

the idea of an all-powerful “creator” is a genius excuse and tool for men to behave badly and perform atrocious acts against women and any individuals who do not “get with the program”; for an illustrative example, see Inquisition
· do not take anybody’s word for it
· do your own research using empirical evidence (what you see) and logical analysis (what you think about it)
· use that magnificent organ between your ears that processes your thoughts, dreams, and (non-empirical) feelings more efficiently than any supercomputer or artificial-intelligence system can ever do
· anybody in direct contact with this “creator” entity must implore him to address the world directly, not with floods, plagues, or natural disasters (which will happen more frequently because of our actions)
· and these people must not try to use circular logic, references to man-made “scripture”, admiration for the “beauty and complexity of nature,” or gut feelings to explain the “obvious” existence of a “creator”
· “i cannot think of any other way our world and universe could have been created” is not a logical or valid argument for the existence of an invisible “creator”

that shit is crazy and it is done, at least for people who can think for themselves and have the courage to face the reality that they witness, and the brains to reason and demonstrate the fact-based deductions they make
· people must not be scared of their own minds; this is what “men of God,” nuns, pastors, and families do all the time to children
· lying to children about a fat, bearded man who flies all over the world in a sleigh in one night spreading gifts to all the “nice” kids is preparing them to believe that white men are the bringers of happiness and that they should follow everything those men say, even when those dirty men rape teenage girls or boys
· things like this do not count as science or logic, even though it uses plenty of logic-based and science-based terminology, such as “evidence” and “empirical” along “invisible” and “immaterial” in the first two paragraphs
· writing like that can be described only as charlatanism at its best
· the “logic” used there is not logical
· for example, it states “Logic is neither material nor visible, yet it’s legitimately considered “real” and can be both perceived and examined.”
· logic is a set of steps used to analyze information and form conclusions; it is not a thing you can toss around or take pictures of
· that is charlatanism

people with Alzheimer’s disease can change completely from one moment to another
· this is a disease of the brain, an organ in the human body; women and men have brains; women’s brains are superior for many provable reasons
· men do not like that though and try every way possible to condition and coerce women into thinking incorrectly

the mammal brain evolved from a set of light-processing cells to the highly capable organ it is today
· all mammals have brains with various levels of processing capacity depending on species and other factors
· some people are born with damaged or under-developed brains, which greatly influences their ability to easily navigate the world that people with undamaged, fully developed brains have created for themselves
· this is separate from the subject of intelligence though; a highly intelligent mind can live in a brain that cannot fully manage its body for various reasons; but that does not preclude that person from otherwise living a full human life
· this is all to say the concept of a soul is also fantasy
· some people may not like that and even reject it
· that is okay
· but their individual positions on the matter must never affect the lives of other people, especially people who do not share that position
· this is what the US Constitution, the country’s “scripture” says, despite what many biased individuals think and loudly say about it (the loudest voices often are the stupidest)
· their thoughts are irrelevant to every other individual in the country who chooses not to abide by what they say, because they have their own brains and can form their own thoughts and opinions under freedom and liberty

the men interpreting the nation’s “scripture” and the “scriptures” of individual states today have different ideas for women from the billions of people who have lived under our “scripture” for centuries
· this is what (usually white) men in power do to keep and increase their power
· they are such fucking weak, small, petty, thin-skinned, emotionally-vacant bullies
 

were it not for the sacrifices that women make, and the pains women go through ensuring the longevity of humanity, there would be no humanity
· biology provides women with incredible power and influence over the future of humanity
· men consistently devalue this power and dehumanize women to control them and their power

humankind requires critical biological hardware through which humans create other humans to replace them and continue the human race
· that hardware—ovums, uteri, fallopian tubes—comes only in women
· and maintaining and using it takes a lot of time and resources that, biologically at least, most men have no interest in, and that some men despise because it reminds them of their relative inferiority to the powerful women that trigger their feeble sensibilities
· thankfully, through the wonders of science, women may sometime be able to conceive without men
 

courageous women make the social groups that they lead more harmonious, empathetic, and diplomatic than those led by men
· without women there are no men
· this is a powerful advantage that women should leverage more effectively, negating the influence of so-called leaders who rely on myths, coercion, lies, and violence to implement their misogynist agendas
· women truly scare these weak, hateful, ignorant men

we need inspiration from the smart, innovative, and courageous women of the suffrage movement of the 1900s
· using the vote that such women obtained—by lobbying, petitioning, protesting, picketing, demonstrating, and being arrested—to elect a misogynist monster, rapist, and proud sexual abuser, in addition to many other disqualifying factors, is something that today’s women should be ashamed of

the women who voted for a child rapist, proud sexual offender, woman-hating nincompoop should be ashamed of themselves
· if the suffragettes who sacrificed so much to give these women the vote were to wake up from their long naps and found out what their descendants have done with the vote they dedicated their lives and sacrificed their relationships to obtain, the suffragettes would be incredibly pissed off, and with good fucking reason

the most intelligent animal societies (elephants, whales, dolphins) are led by females; they are matriarchies
· in these societies the females’ physical sizes and capabilities are closer to the males’
· their superior mental capabilities and ability to further the species are what makes them great leaders of their cohesive groups
· females are in charge of rearing and guiding clans or pods
· the adult males are often loners whose only function is to spread their seed; to this end, they hunt and eat to gain weight and muscle to be able to defeat other males in battle, to gain the right to mate with females in estrus, not unlike the modern misogynist man
· this behavior is very similar to that exhibited by countries and regions led by men, which is to be expected
· the leaders of these intelligent societies are female not because they are physically stronger but because they are smarter: brain beats brawn

to survive, humanity must recognize and foment female leadership over male oppression
· “because this is how we have always done it” is not a valid reason to continue this antiquated, unfair. and illogical imbalance

can women be represented effectively by a bunch of old, "celibate" dudes?
· no
· the answer is no

we must reject all scriptures and ancient practices that put men exclusively at the top of social, political, and familial groups only because they are men, and that put women at the service of men
· men come from women (not the other way around); it is women who should be at the top
· these practices are the reason why so many women today are programmed to act against their own best interests, like in this last election
· in a land that kills women today because they are women, that puts women at the service of incels and abusive men, and that ignores the many contributions women make to benefit, extend, and improve humanity, how can any woman vote for the man who represents proudly everything that men do against women and girls, including the outlandish act of “grabbing them by the pussy”?

these “sacred scriptures” are instructions to men on how to use women for their pleasure, for maintaining their homes clean, and for creating their legacy through their wombs
· at the same time, they are instructions to women on how to please and serve men
· those scriptures feature more abuse, misogyny, and capricious destruction than anyone can imagine
· and the “believers,” including girls and women, are told that those ancient tales are based on facts
· the fact is that those tales based on the predilections of men that see themselves as the rulers of everything and everyone, especially those with the greatest power on earth: women

when people refer to “God” as a person, to what are they referring to?
· is this entity actually communicating with individuals?
· is there factual evidence of such a being operating in society?
· or is the belief in “God” little more than a strong feeling with emotional connections and ramifications that are purely personal?
· why does this “God” seem to prefer men over women, and benefits men at the expense of women?
· that certainly does not sound like the behavior of a “just and loving god”
· the fact is that “God” is a concept, a human creation, to address fear, and to control large groups of people
· civilization has largely abandoned human sacrifice as a way to cajole the gods into not killing them but to instead provide healthy crops and rain and sunlight to take care of them
· not so long ago, eclipses were taken to be omens of imminent danger
· but, thanks to science (observation, analysis, theorization, confirmation)—not male-centered scripture—we know now that eclipses are nothing special, just a traveling shadow over a round earth

religion is the biggest restrainer of advancement humanity has invented
· people of science had to fight ignorant and power-hungry “men of God” to move humanity forward
· some people try to give religion “scientific legitimacy” by coopting the word “science,” and coming up with things like Christian Science, which has absolutely nothing resembling actual science

Katherine of Aragon was a lifelong devoted Catholic and faithful and loyal wife
· despite that, and the respect she earned through her intelligence and knowledge (the attributes of a great role model and leader) she was punished because her husband’s sperm failed to produce a male
· why did “God” abandon such a person?
· because God is a construct created by men to dominate populations
· a loving god, a fair god, a just god would not have treated a devout disciple such as Katherine so badly
· telling people that such tribulations are tests that “God” gives people so that their earn their passage into Jannah, Aaru, Valhalla, Heaven, or some celestial plane where everything is wonderful and plentiful, is a tool of control, just like stories about Santa Claus are tools used by lazy parents and greedy corporations to keep children in line and to make money

there is empirical evidence of Katherine’s vocation and fealty and her punishment for it
· in fact, King Henry VIII created a church to rule England and allow him to divorce his loyal wife
· in other words, a man in power created a religious structure by which he was able to divorce his wife and and marry another woman
· one could say that that bears sticking similarities to a dumb but somehow influential rapist setting up five justices to declare him immune in a land ruled by a constitution set up to expressly disallow that
· scriptures are neither holy nor godly; they are man-made instruments of control and domination by some men over many individuals

not all scriptures contain passages that blatantly say that women should be dominated and punished for being women
· the Torah is not as bad as the Bible or the Qur’an in this respect
· but in the Jewish religion the rabbis have varied, inconsistent opinions of the roles of women

people should research the “scriptures” on which their religion bases its dogma
· individuals should use critical thinking (not fears and feelings), observation, introspection, and research skills when deciding which values to adopt as their own
· they must not just follow the guidance of teachers, priests, rabbis, or any person in a position of authority because everybody has the capacity to be a hypocrite and a liar
· nobody see through the masks behind which these people hide their true selves, until they get entangled in their own webs of lies
· everybody should use their own judgment in determining whether their church’s morals are compatible with their own
· does the church support a fundamentally immoral and despicable person like Donald Trump?
· does it support the use of violence against innocent people whose only “sin” is having published their research and opinions on a land that supposedly values freedom of speech?
· is the church essentially a cult of personality, and the personality a vacuous individual with no aspirations other than pleasure and power for himself, like Caligula?

Caligula was a “self-indulgent, cruel, sadistic, extravagant and sexually perverted [ruler]; an insane, murderous tyrant who demanded and received worship as a living god, humiliated his Senate, and planned to make his horse a consul”
· does this description remind you of someone in particular?
· does such a person deserve to lead any human being?

the speech that is deemed acceptable is the one that attacks people who want only to work, people who do not accept the positions of the crooks, rapists, and traitors in charge
· when a religious community decides whether to adhere to its “scripture” and written rules and values only when it benefits the few at the top, that cult eventually falls due to its inauthenticity and sham foundations
· if the morals of a person’s religion are incompatible with the values that the person has decided to follow to be true to zirself (such as honesty, fairness, equality, respect, honor, or not raping teenage girls), that person should find a place where zie is accepted for who zie is, what zie thinks, and what zie can willingly contribute to the group

boys are brought up to be workers, builders, professionals, leaders, and to view girls only as something pretty to look at and whose destiny is arranged to be wives, mothers, and comforters even to abusive men
· girls are brought up to be pretty, mothers, maids, nurses, and to accept everything a boy or man does because “boys will be boys” (and “men” will be boys too)

for society to realize its full potential, all people must be brought up with the knowledge that gender does not determine the type of life a person should live
· for example, traditionally women were not widely represented in manufacturing
· during World War 2, women were tapped to help manufacture equipment for the war and did an exemplary job
· women are not only capable leaders, when given the opportunity they also perform well in manufacturing jobs that used to be the domain of male workers
· there is absolutely no reason to limit women’s participation in the job market by poisoning their minds when they are young with “traditional” ideas of the role that women have in society; ideas that originated before humans moved into caves to protect against the elements; ideas that rhinoceroses, giraffes, and orangutans still hold but that humans should have left in the planes and the caves they left 12,000 years ago

“Michigan manufacturers tap women to support industry’s growth”:

the misogynists in charge then, principally the US Navy, could not imagine that a woman could have invented the technology used by torpedoes to reach their targets, let alone recognize that it did happen and reward the inventor with all her dues
· are such men dead and forgotten? no
· they are being groomed by families, churches, schools, and cultures to become insensitive, unfeeling, thin-skinned bullies with no respect for women

this is the preamble of the US Constitution, the country’s “scripture”:

these words are not law, but they introduce the founding document of the United States
· there are several important terms that this introduction mentions: People, Justice, Tranquility, Welfare, Posterity

in hindsight, the preamble (and the law it introduces) contains several omissions that subsequent amendments correct, such as abolishing slavery and awarding women the right to vote
· the amendments also clarify the rights that all citizens have (it does not conditionalize any rights as only for men or only for women (something that white men with lots of money have violated for many years to legalize their misogyny, racism, and contempt for the poor)
· for evidence, just look at history, case law, and the people who use their “speech” (money in this country, a contemptuous fact made true by moneyed white men), which allow a very wealthy and think-skinned person to buy the votes of thousands of people
· such clarifications in most cases are additive
· at the federal level, rights are generally not removed once codified

the Constitution and its amendments give all citizens dominion over their own bodies, including the privacy to discuss and solve medical issues with their doctors
· however, at the state level, moneyed white men have effectively—and unconstitutionally—taken away from women the right to control their own bodies and to have private discussions with their physicians about their health (men do not suffer this unfair invasion of privacy, a right afforded every citizen by the US Constitution, the country’s “scripture”)
· this form of control over women is not new; it has been in man-written “scripture” for thousands of years
· however, in the place with the ambition to provide an environment where freedom, liberty, justice, and fairness reign, moneyed white men have paid to destroy the country’s espoused main purpose: to provide everybody equally the opportunity to live and succeed

moneyed white men use religion to control masses of people because it is cheap and effective
· all they have to do is befriend (buy) a few religious leaders in control of gullible, fearful, and poor people to have a movement
· and the most effective vehicle to people-domination is control over the women
· this is because women are the center of society
· they have the most valuable superpower on earth: the power to give birth to people
· in war, women are the most prized objects of victory and domination because of their power

WOMEN:

so how do we go from the US Constitution to states like Indiana, Georgia, and Texas who have effectively legalized the murder of women going through natural medical distress, which originated from a man’s dick?
· around 11950 HE, the Republican party determined that banning abortion was the best way to convince an uninformed, gullible electorate to join their backward-looking, misogynistic movements
· this cult, er, political party, controlled by moneyed white men, has as its sole purpose the domination of a society, and its most efficient tool is the domination of women’s minds and bodies through enablers such as incels, pastors, and famous criminal individuals who can rape any woman they want because “they let me do it”

influential and wealthy men use the legal system—specifically non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), arbitration, and good old intimidation—to protect themselves from criticism about and responsibility for their sexual crimes:
• Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein
• Danny Masterson
• Harvey Weinstein
· because of their influence, power, and wealth, these men have made life difficult for persons, in particular women, who attempted to make them accountable for their criminal sexual activities

judges help rapists

judges, who are supposed to be impartial interpreters of law and enforcers of justice, blatantly protect and defend men accused and convicted of rape
· while sentencing a student found guilty of rape, a judge commented: “a prison sentence would have a severe impact on him,” discounting the severe impact of the rape on the victim
· thankfully, such positions have severely damaged that judge’s career
· underlining the damage that toxic masculinity and toxic femininity have on society, female judges can also tend to let male rapists off the hook
 

humanity’s continued incorporation of representative democracy replacing aristocracy and autocracy has been great for women
· gone (almost) are the days when governments were structured on the idea that a woman was little more than an incubator
· in other words, governments were built on the wombs of women that were considered little more than expendable objects

the norm was that aristocracy was the government and government was the aristocracy
· who filled powerful governmental positions was determined almost exclusively by familial relationships, giving preference to male heirs over female heirs
· in the Roman Empire, the emperor usually bequeathed the emperor ship to one of his male heirs (through birth or adoption)
· women were used to bring families together thorough marriage, which was done to prevent war, as a result of war, or any other reason, such as a one man offering his daughter in marriage to a friend or business partner to express gratitude
· of course this practice was not limited to ancient Rome; modern kingdoms like The UK still practice this; although it has had several queens, it always gives preference to male heirs
· misogyny was an intrinsic part of the structure of society
· those practices while still present to various degrees are not “official”

the United States has never seen a president handing out that office to a son
· unfortunately, we may be about to witness such an unconstitutional action
· the fascism that the Republican Party has bolstered in the past few years is astounding
· the leader of the party, Donald Trump, has made it very clear to congresspeople, governors, attorneys general, and any Republican person in a position of authority that not following his wishes is grounds for being fired or primaried
· this behavior is the definition of fascism
· no one can deny the president-elect’s autocratic tendencies, which he has proudly touted

a rule by an autocrat or dictator harkens back to the reign of emperors and kings
· now, in the American Dark Ages, the United States of America is likely to adopt the practices of emperors and kings in securing high office only to male heirs
· this would be very bad for women

thanks to patriarchy and religion, women in this country put back in office a person who promises to make women’s lives be more like the lives of women like Anne Boleyn, and the countless Roman women that were used mainly for their wombs
· the evidence, both historical and contemporary, supports these conjecture
· the lies and conspiracy theories of fascists cannot hide the true intentions of people who call themselves “conservative”
· when it comes to actively taking rights away from women and ensuring that they remain at the service of incels and incompetent, violent men, these “conservatives” are truly progressive

this is how the election of an incompetent, mentally-deficient, criminal, corrupt misogynist rapist can make the already undesirable position that women have in America even worse
· the greater role of religion in government threatens to make this terrible state of affairs truly catastrophic

patriarchy gives unscrupulous men permission to act in immoral, illegal, and inhuman ways with little pushback
· young minds learn from these corrupt leaders that corruption is normal and that all that they are taught about morality, honesty, piousness, and the rule of law is absolute bullshit
· without strictly enforced ethics standards for leaders, this vicious cycle continues and we get a criminal child molester and rapist as president

when logic is useless to them, when history is not on their side, when humanity proves them wrong, moneyed white men and their minions resort to the most efficient tool for world domination in existence: the unprovable and nonsensical idea of a “creator”
· this entity—even though he (go figure) is all knowing (of past, present, future), all powerful, and full of love and mercy—resorts to violence and mass-murder of mere, minuscule and insignificant humans, just like your everyday, dumb and weak king, warlord, or dictator
· why does “God” act in such petty ways?
· because “God” is a man-made concept used to control people, women in particular
· men use “God” to make people disbelieve their logical minds and embrace oppressive fantasy as real

only a true psychopath needs to scare his followers by killing them or prancing around tanks and missiles, like Kim, Putin, and Xi do all the time (expect to see these types of embarrassing, idiotic displays of “power” in the US soon)
· and they do this not with toy soldiers but with women and men who sacrifice their welfare for the safety and security of their families and friends, to serve their country with honor, duty, and valor (unlike the cowards who fail their country’s call by pointing at their feet)
· many of them make the ultimate sacrifice despite having worse impediments than made-up bone spurs
· people like these, who skirt their patriotic obligations in times of war, are an embarrassment to their country and deserve nothing but contempt, nothing but contempt
· people like these do not deserve the privilege and the honor of leadership

inquiring and curious minds would ask of their religious leaders things like:

given the absolutely vast size of the universe, why does the all-powerful and merciful “creator” kill innocent people, including mothers, children, and babies, when they annoy him?

why does he not just destroy Earth and start again fresh?

why does he not show mercy all the time?

what are the “lessons” to be learned from mass murder?

why does he mass-murder only certain people, expressly the ones who make life difficult for those at the top?

scripture tales and fantasies do not provide answers because they are made up
· the Inquisition, the Holocaust, slavery, Hiroshima, Nagasaki
· this is where the real answer lies: man is the one who oppresses and kills because he is petty, lascivious, violent, and dishonest
· man cannot invent a god with only good qualities because he cannot contain his contempt for the “weak” and his desire for absolute power over them
· letting go of that notion, just like kids eventually let go of the idea of Santa Claus, would be the primordial phase of the solution for so many of humanity’s problems, especially valuing women lower than dogs, cats, and rabbits

thankfully, national trends show consistent decline in the portion of American citizens still holding on to the “God” delusion
· eventually, the portion of the population that is enthralled with and controlled by this will reach levels so low that Americans will be free to focus on their welfare and their humane advancement without being distracted by the misogynistic ad hateful musings and actions of contemptuous, immoral, and rich white men

original sin is a devious concept created to ensure that no one is able to skate on their actual innocence
· everyone is born with sin and therefore must atone to this “creator” man
· the idea is genius, though
· similar how people train elephants with chains when they are babies so that they stay put as adults
· although they could easily break their chains when they are grown adults, they seldom attempt such actions because of their early conditioning: why try to break something that is unbreakable?

yes, women are the elephants in this metaphor
· women have the power to break free from the chains that patriarchy imposes on them because they are truly powerful

patriarchy tells women and girls that their physical safety, their financial success, their respect depend on how much they adhere to the roles that society has assigned the female sex
· women have all the responsibility and accountability and receive all the punishment, but men get all the fun
· why the fuck is that?

patriarchy—being a culture and system of domination of men over women in a society—requires the maximization of traits that advantage men over traits that advantage women, which is the point behind toxic masculinity

toxic masculinity is devaluing the positive aspects of femininity, aspects such as empathy, care, mutual respect, diplomacy, and sensitivity
· it is interesting to note that these are the main traits of effective leaders, leaders who do not impose their will on others, but who consider all aspects of a problem in deciding how to solve it
· people who rely on diplomacy and mutual respect can reach consensus with the stakeholders, which results in a solution that most participants feel is their decision, not just a command by someone who does not understand the problem and its implications
· the Iroquois Confederacy, one of the world’s oldest participatory democracies, is led by women and persists to this day

one of the traits of toxic masculinity is excessive narcissism
· these individuals need attention to feel whole; therefore, many of the objectives behind their actions are solely to bring attention to themselves
· these people have a very high sense of self-importance and therefore seek constant, unreasonable, and undeserved admiration
· they act loudly, cause pain in others, and ensure that any situation centers on themselves
· they want people to admire them
· although these individuals may appear to be very confident in themselves, they get easily upset by minor criticisms
· in other words, they are insecure and have very thin skin
· they also see themselves as being above everyone else
· not coincidentally, individuals suffering from toxic masculinity exhibit symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder
· one of these symptoms is avoiding situations in which they might fail, such as participating in debates against opponents whom they know are superior than them
· they do not want to be publicly embarrassed

toxic masculinity is a tool for the domination of men over women
· a group or community can ensure that men are the ones with the most power and influence by teaching boys (and girls) that being a boy is more desirable than being a girl: men are bigger and stronger than women; therefore, men must be the leaders of the family, group, and community
· by placing these ideas in young minds, when those boys and girls grow up, they continue that “tradition” automatically, almost by instinct
· it is very difficult for these adults to let go of the lessons that their parents and teachers took so much work to teach them

the advent of social media—where individuals can anonymously spew dangerous content (including horrible threats and lies to and about people who they deem enemies) that tech companies can direct to vulnerable audiences to make the most profit—has only made the tech companies that control it hugely powerful and influential
· these companies, guided by greed and the benefits of patriarchy for their very wealthy owners, have taken society past the breaking point (yes, society is broken)
· this is the point where the lies of those who exhibit the most toxic masculinity possible are more influential than the facts that other people bring to the discussion
· nothing exemplifies this more than “they are eating the dogs, they are eating the cats,” an episode that shows that truth no longer matters
· what matters is how much humiliation one side can bring the other

of course, just because men customarily have dominated women does not mean that continuing that “tradition” is healthy in a contemporary society
· when women are relegated to perform “female duties,” which seldom include leadership over others, specifically men, the society looses the more rounded, considerate, and smart leadership that women provide
· that society is then reliant on the reactionary, conflict-focused decision-making that most men learned when they were boys
· these men then ensure that the society continues those practices by putting a high value on “tradition” and on not veering away from it, which is the objective of religion
· they make it shameful to exhibit the traits that women have that make them better people and leaders than most men could ever be

these biased views are codified into laws and practices that the society adopts, enforces, and teaches its younger generations
· the precious time when young minds are being formed—when girls and boys learn how to be acceptable members of society—become a valuable tool to ensure the continuation of this irrational male dominance over women
· we see evidence of this in the practices of traditionalists, who choose to remove real history from their children’s education and replace it with an idealized environment where “men were men, and women were women” (the Nazis used this with their myth of the Aryan race); where men were at the top and women were at the bottom because that is how things should be; where slavery was nothing more than an “immigration program” for people from Africa and other places

men who exhibit traits of toxic masculinity are not the men serving effectively in the armed forces, where individuals must work as a team in close quarters to keep each other safe
· completing a mission, rescuing a comrade, loosing a teammember are events that cause every service member, woman, man, or other, to display the type of emotional reactions that these “macho men,” who talk the talk but never walk the walk, describe as “not manly” or even “pussy-like”
· these clowns are the first ones who would run from a fire or dangerous situation without even asking whether someone needs help

also, as a servicemember, showing a thin-skin is asking to be ridiculed every single day, especially during training
· men who hold their toxicity close to heart would not be successful soldiers, sailors, marines, or airmen
· they could get people killed, including themselves

these so-called “real men” are the ones who go into Target during Pride Month and kick down the Pride signage and products, because it takes a real, strong, powerful hombre to drop light cardboard boxes
· instead of big, strong men, they are more accurately described as weak and cowardly little boys with serious problems connecting with women and people in general
· because they fear being judged so much, they never open up to anybody; they are never their true selves
· they never find real connection with other human beings (maybe not even their pets)
· this is why they identify so well with the weak, senile “leaders” of today, and their even weaker minions, men like Senator Ted Cruz, who responds to direct insults toward his wife with smiles, endorsements, and first-class ass kissery

“What Is Toxic Masculinity?”

their insecurities are so deep and defining, that they treat any possibility of being viewed as weak in the eyes of their peers (they do not have any friends, not by the common definition of friendship) as a very serious matter
· this is why, after President Obama made fun of then-citizen Trump at the 2011 White House Correspondents‘s Dinner, the latter has made it his mission to destroy everything Obama accomplished while president, like some immature five-year-old child would do after feeling slighted by a sibling or buddy
· the level of immaturity and pettiness in these so-called alpha men is truly astounding, and sad
· these are not role models by any stretch of the imagination
· these are people who need serious medical treatment, and who very seldom take it because of the serious damage that would cause to their perceived reputation as super men

toxic masculinity also wreaks havoc with the environment:

the shaming of “nasty women” by those who oppress and violate women and girls is the pinnacle of toxic masculinity
· when individuals do not have the wit to come up with arguments against an opponent, like immature children with no manners they revert to calling those superior opponents names or commenting on attributes like race and gender because that is what misogynistic, illiterate, racists do
· these ad hominem attacks are tools that inauthentic, unoriginal men use try to get their way
· and in a patriarchal society, these incredibly weak men usually get what they want because the have the support of really rich and influential retrogrades

so, who are these “nasty” women?

in many cultures men still think that marriage gives them cart blanche to abuse their wives in any way, at any time
· men and boys must be disabused of this notion because women do not want to be raped or beaten up by their husbands, no matter the vows they pledged to uphold
· wives are not the property of their husbands, no matter what backwards religions state so

to make this “new” position on marriage, marriage contracts—yes, in this world brides and grooms would benefit from having contracts that clearly specify what both partners consider domestic violence—must have domestic-violence clauses that stipulate than any instance of domestic violence by any of the partners constitutes a breach of contract that gives the victim cause to initiate divorce proceedings in favor of the victim
· the contract may also stipulate that the victim may decide to place the attacker on probation for a period
· a second act of violence against the victim while on probation would give the victim cause for immediate divorce
· no third party is permitted to intervene in this action, including family members and clergymen
