Intro

While Reminiscing on Our Immoral Culture (2024/8/26), Thedeti and I mulled over the question: Are immoral women a product of an immoral culture, or vice versa?

The History of Hypergamy

Individual women have been engaging in various acts of immorality since forever. Contrary to what most men have been led to believe, women want sex as much as men do — IF they’re sexually attracted, they really want that sex. Women very, very much like and enjoy sex with sexually attractive men. Very, very much is an understatement. ‘C0ckamania’ is a little closer to reality.

This has always been the case. It instigated The Red Pill over a decade ago. It was the case 30 years ago when we were in college. It was the case 60 years ago when our parents met, and 90 years ago when our grandparents were doing the hoochie. It was the case 240 years ago during the Revolutionary War. It was the problem that lit up the Council of Trent 460 years ago that led to the Protestant Reformation. It was the case 2,600 years ago when Ezekiel wrote about Oholah and Oholibah. It was the issue that sparked the Trojan War 3,300 years ago. Women have been having illicit sex with attractive men since forever. Hypergamy is an unstoppable force of nature.

The Advent of Technology

What has accelerated the proliferation of sexual immorality in our day and age is technology which allows people to separate reproduction from copulation. In turn, as that technology improved, people are better able to separate copulation (and reproduction) from marriage.

That technology has been improving apace and exponentially for hundreds of years, but the floodgates opened with the advent of the Pill in 1960. Since then, the sociosexual dynamics leading to copulation, marriage and reproduction have been changing more and more as technology and civil law have allowed women to earn / have enough money to become more or less self sufficient.

Women’s Independence = Moar Sexual Liberation

Women want their own money so they don’t have to depend on a man. This is crucially important to women’s sexual strategy because the men they can depend on aren’t sexually attractive. The men who are sexually attractive (who they really want to sleep with) won’t give them a commitment or any money because they don’t have to. It’s basically the old Alpha Fux / Beta Bux strategy, except Beta Bux is increasingly being replaced by women supporting themselves and/or freeloading off the government and the court system (i.e. via divorce). Laws have changed and technology has improved to the point where women can earn their own living; they can now eke out an existence without a man’s help (at least on the surface).

What foils all that, what prevents a woman from full economic independence, is motherhood. Presently, most women, the vast majority of women, cannot financially support children without men’s money. Some women can forego having children altogether, but many will not because the biological urge is to have children. This is why the effort right now is wealth transference: Take men’s money and give it to women so they can be economically independent (and remain sexually liberated).

Men are being enticed into this because of the ever present misrepresentation: “If you give us what we want, we’ll have sex with you.” Pussy makes men stupid. It has always been so.

Consequences

As women have become more liberated, the culture has become less moral.

Over time, the degeneracy snowballs until chastity, faith, morality, and religion are no longer valued in society. Women no longer feel committed to one man or to a marriage, nor even to their children. Hence, men find no larger purpose in marriage and family. All this has had a negative effect on marriage, families, and how children are reared. Families are the ‘bricks’ of a society.

Throughout history, women’s hypergamic nature was regulated by various checks and balances, and the extent to which this was successful largely determined the overall civility of the nation. OTOH, when sexual promiscuity became prevalent and women’s hypergamy got out of hand, families were broken and nations declined and fell.

It is evident that civilizational achievement is a function of women’s chastity en large, moreso than civilization has had a civilizing effect on women. Women’s chastity is the driver here.

Conclusions

In summary, there are several key factors to consider.

  • Technology
  • Women’s economic independence
  • Cultural acceptance of sexual promiscuity, AKA ‘freedom’
  • Cultural norms of permissiveness, reflected in and enforced by legislative polity.
  • The percentage of women pursuing Ch@ds over marriage. Over 6% leads to disaster. We are looking at a percentage well above the majority in Western nations.

So to answer the question, it’s hard to say, but in general, we suspect that it’s immoral women (and more generally, immoral individuals) producing an immoral culture. This has become more evident as more women avail of employment, laws, and technology to postpone marriage and childbearing, and to escape the negative consequences of doing so. So it’s more “vice versa” — the immoral culture is a product of immoral women.
