The winds of change are blowing against feminism. Mainstream media is starting to shudder with the pre-tremors of a major earthquake set to bring feminism crashing down like a badly built high rise with weak foundations.
A new book by Susan Patton a Princeton graduate, called Marry Smart, advises its (female) readers to find smart and presumably ambitious men to marry. I haven’t read the book myself as needless to say I am not seeking a husband, but her tome has set off a firestorm of scandal online, as women writhe in the throes of their first encounter with a little red pill truth.
I came across an interview with Ms. Patton while browsing The Wall Street Journal. It’s women’s stuff, but surprisingly refreshing to hear her candid and honest interview. Red pill seems to have a solid female ally.
She says women (if they want children) ought to look for smart men to marry while they are still in college and be prepared to commit to a solid relationship. The interviewer asks her outright if she thinks that feminism of the 80s and 90s gave bad advice.
She replies:
“I think feminism has poisoned young women in so many regards. [It] has suggested to young women that they don’t need men, that they shouldn’t want men, that they should go it alone, that men are the enemy. This is terrible advice.”
“The genders are SO not equal and to tell our young women you are just the same as men.. you are not identical to men…”
“…Men have an unlimited window of opportunity to get married and have children…. “
She goes on to tear apart one of our favorite punch bags, Sheryl Sandberg the COO of Facebook.
“She is misguided. She is a very privileged woman who has come into great success through very many privileges and opportunities not afforded to most women.
“For her to say that women need to work harder is terrible advice. Women don’t need to work harder …. they need to stop being so politically correct.”
Just as well with Sheryl deciding to redefine the English dictionary by trying to ban the use of the word bossy when referring to a woman. How this crap makes it to the pages of any decent publication, let alone Bloomberg that is meant to be home of serious financial news is beyond me. At least Murdoch is dropping a few red pills but The Wall Street Journal can only go so far in 2014; if you extrapolate the advice to women: “Marry Smart” it has many implications.
A man doesn’t need a bossy MBA career troll in her mid to late 30s barging into his life and telling him what to do, demanding children although her best years are over, and ignoring the fact that due to spending more than a decade trying to be a man, she now has absolutely no idea how to run a happy and settled family home, much less support a working husband that enables her to be a real and proper stay-at-home mom.
Take it one stage further and throw a red pill alpha male into the mix and you see that if a man should decide that he wants to have a family, he’s going to want and expect to pair up with a committed, loyal and submissive female that makes his life easier not more difficult.
Running a family home and having children is a massive undertaking in and of itself. The last thing a guy needs is a woman that has little skill in that area or gets depressed because she misses the excitement and validation of her past life and career. Since many women end up in bossy middle management roles, they start trying to build a home life with a man they see more as an employee, barking instructions at him, micromanaging him, and treating him like the office janitor, not a cherished king of his domain.
This is where dumber women step in. Women without college degrees and self-important careers are generally more skilled in the home-making department. What they lack in intellect they can make up for with bedroom and cooking skills (neither of which require formal training or a high IQ). What they lack in qualifications and career experience they can make up for with years of hands on experience taking care of nephews, nieces, neighbor’s kids, baby sitting and so on.
If a woman wants to marry smart as Susan Patton suggests, she certainly doesn’t need a college degree. Although campuses might prove quite good hunting ground for bright ambitious men, it’s expensive and complicated to go to university. Far cheaper to simply date guys that are at top colleges without actually attending.
To marry smart a woman doesn’t need many skills beyond looking her best, being choosey about whom she dates, and absolutely demanding about who she gets into bed with. Women can be quite useful and productive in certain work places. Pursuits like hospitality, tourism, nursing, childcare should be good on a woman’s resume pre-marriage and it would give her something to do if she needs to pad out family income or once the kids grow up. If I ever did want to get into another LTR, that’s what I’d be looking for. That’s what any red pill guy would be looking for. Here we are back in the 1950s.
Girls in their 30s, in some bullshit office career, with a truck load of student debt, no asset to speak of, parents that are divorced, cheesy friends, and smartphone addiction, as you can find in most US and EU cities, are not worth having. They’re never going to be able to marry smart, and it’s about time they realized it. Once these whispers hitting the mainstream media begin to make waves in female circles, it will rapidly turn into a tidal wave of new fashion.
There used to be finishing schools and debutantes balls for girls coming of age to prepare for marriage. They were schooled in being polite, submissive and having home making skills. Suddenly English Lit and Gender Studies is going to drop off the map and home cooking, basic medical training, childcare and massage will jump to the top of the list? Men are no longer sucked into LTRs just because there is a sniff of pussy on the menu, so suddenly women will have to start providing “marriage resumes” if they ever hope to have a traditional family life. We all know how competitive and bitchy girls can get with each other, so I can only imagine where this will go if men start demanding what they deserve.
A tremendous amount of effort goes into putting a family together and both sides know full well the tragedy of pulling it apart. The saddest thing about feminism and it’s ‘terrible advice for young women’ is that it’s landed women in a pointless competitive struggle with men, which many girls freely admitted to not wanting. We could list literally pages of scientists, businessmen, bankers, political leaders, artists and so forth that have been pulled down by the poor quality women in their lives. Had women been encouraged to stand up alongside their men and embraced the very necessary female role in a man’s life; instead of divorce stats through the roof, millions of children brought up without a clear and present father and man’s lives mired in social and ‘relationship’ issues, humanity might have progressed further.
The family unit ought to provide the support system for a man. It gives him a little social life outside his work, children that love and adore him, a comfortable home to return to, and while the home is the woman’s domain and she might take charge of it, there always needs to be a ‘man of the house’. Who knows what some of those very intelligent (yet slightly beta) men might have accomplished if they hadn’t run into the brick wall of feminism and divorce.
