The End of Feminism and why Jordan Peterson is a crucial figure for Civilization in these unsettled times. (long but worth the read, I think)

Something very interesting is happening. OK Cupid, a dating app, released data showing that men rate most women as above average in attractiveness, but 80% of the men were rated below average by women. A study just released showed that 1 in 4 adults are not having any sex at all, and they are mostly young men.

What does this tell us?

  1. Women are choosy, men are not. Or rather, women are far more choosy than men. The man's happy to get almost anyone, the woman is much more discriminating and most men don't make the grade for most women.

  2. If many more women than men are having sex, then:

a. Polygamy (sex, not marriage) is happening. Lots of women are having sex with a few men. That means women are sharing those men. The men who are having sex, are on average getting it on with more than one woman. Doesn't mean that there aren't women playing the field. But on average, a few of the men are getting in bed with most of the women.

b. If its the young men who are not having sex, but young women are, it means young women are choosing older men. Even when it means sharing that man with other women.

c. If young women and older women are all having sex with the same older men, it means younger and older women are in competition for those few men.

Some thoughts about this:

  1. It seems that women, when freed from all societal control on sex and marriage, freed from the compulsion to marry young, free to choose their own mate, freed to choose their own mating arrangements, are choosing polygamy with older men. Men who can meet the competing needs and demands of more than one woman, are getting more than one woman. The only thing preventing it from becoming recognized as a developing reality is the legal requirement of monogamy and the disaster in court for infidelity.
  2. This means that if people are left to themselves, with neither family nor society nor courts dictating arrangements of copling, we will end up with a few men marrying lots of women, and the losers will be young men.
  3. But as we look across human history, virtually all human societies have rituals of boys entering manhood and taking a wife. Polygamy occurs in very few cultures. If the natural tendency of unstructured society is for women to choose polygamy with older men, it would seem that virtually all cultures across humanity and through out history have evolved to prevent this.
  4. Why? It can only be that young men, full of energy, lust, and strength, if deprived of sex, have no incentive to follow the norms of society. No reason to learn any craft, take on any responsibility, attain maturity of competence and value to society. Men like that are trouble. Robbery, gangsterism, rape, fighting, dominance plays, exercise of that dominance over everything within reach, are all inevitable outcomes.
  5. Lets look at Lions and Gorillas. Both species have a family of one dominant male and multiple females. The male gets mating privilege with a group of females. Adult males are not welcome in the group at all, or they are kept subservient by the dominant male with reduced or no mating opportunities. The dominant male has to maintain his dominance, and roving lone young males are a constant threat. One day the Dominant lion defeated by an invading youngster, and loses his females to the winner. One day the male gorilla is unable to protect his tribe, or dies, and the family scatters, the females dispersing to join the families of other still dominant males.
  6. It would seem that as humans started to collect from individual families of 10 or 20 members into villages and settlements, letting natural preferences for mating play out was not feasible. In the earliest villages of 200 or 300 people, young males without a sexual partner would have been very dangerous. If the older men, the patriarchs, had all the women, all the children, all the resources, and all the authority and command, and the young bulls had no sex and no status, and only the expectation to do labor and take risks for the tribe, the young bulls would have torn the society apart by beating up and killing the old men and taking the women for themselves.
  7. It would further seem that the development of bigger settlements that were stable and didn’t tear themselves apart, it was required for older men to give up the claim to younger women, and to give up the claim to more than one woman, so that young men got sex, and with it, the responsibility to care for a family and be responsible to the society, instead of raping and pillaging. The only way you could avoid this were if your social norms channeled the lust and energy of young men to unending conquest, rape and pillage of other societies, the acquisition of their women, and their resources, while the patriarchs kept what they had, including multiple wives for each one. It also indicates that such a society would have to find some balance between polygamy and monogamy depending upon the opportunities for conquest rape and pillage. When the opportunity is small or non existent, polygamy would be reduced. That is indeed what we see in Islam.
  8. It would seem that civilization, sexuality and war are very fundamentally intertwined. It would seem that limiting the freedom of women and men to do whatever they want is an essential basis of civilization. When those limits are removed, society starts to tilt into the chaos that those limits were developed to prevent.

So what are our take aways?

Firstly, ladies, if you’re in your 20s and not in a hurry to settle down, because this is time for career, and free sex and there is plenty of time to find a good man, you’re heading for trouble. When you think you’re ready, the most of the best men will already be off the market, and those that remain will be spoiled for choice, and won’t have as much incentive to commit themselves and their resources exclusively to your wants, needs, demands, expectations as you are going to wish for. If a woman chooses a mate when she’s twenty two, she sets the rules and power structure of the marriage. If she waits till she’s 35, that opportunity is gone. While you were building your career and having a boyfriend you were never going to marry, you didn’t build up anything of value to a prospective mate that would cause him to surrender his freedom and power and resources to you, not when there is a 25 years old in the picture competing for those resources. The guys who would have given it all to you when you were 22 or 27, they’re gone.

So what does tell us about the future that’s coming? Its not like young American women are going to suddenly decide to start looking for love and marriage with young men. Those young men are turning into rebels and it can’t be stopped. They’re not going to give a crap about the rules and norms of society that keeps them in control because they’re not getting the rewards and responsibilities of following those rules and norms.

Respect women? Why should they?
Respect immigrants? Why should they?
Respect gays? Why should they?
Seek higher education? Why should they?
Work hard? Why should they?
Build up financial security and a nest egg? Why should they?
Tolerate Muslims? Why should they?

These are all rules for a stable, progressive society, no doubt, but the benefits of these rules society accrue to everyone but them. Why should they be the ones maintaining the order for everyone else while they go without the rewards of taking responsibility?

They’re not going to. What they are going to do is stand up for Free Speech and the right to bear arms. They have things to say and they want to say them. And much of what they have to say are truths that have been made taboo to speak. Men who are long dead guaranteed that individuals would always have the right to bear arms, as their personal power against oppression. These young men don’t have to go down the Nazi route. They only have to speak the truth as they see it, and they’re armed. Very well armed. And they are confident that as long as they follow the spirit of the constitution that gave them the rights of free speech and the right to bear arms, they can exercise their muscle, with the blessings of the wisdom of the Founding Fathers of America, no matter what the prevailing norms are.

These men are going to upset the village.

Bluntly put, we’re back to the dynamic that would have applied to the first villages. Women being set free from the compulsion of marrying early so that they can pursue their careers and be free to have romantic and sexual relationships that they do not intend to turn into marriage, has caused society to drift into the primitive behaviours of dominant males possessing multiple females, by the female’s choice, and bands of young unattached males looking to upset the order for everyone.

Feminism has run its course. We have found out what happens to society when women are empowered with education and careers and set totally free. It creates an army of deprived young men who have no investment in that arrangement, and plenty of incentive to reject it. They’re going to reject it, and its not going to be pretty for the feminists, the multiculturalists, the social justice warriors, the sharia Bolsheviks.

And the only thing that we have to count on that this will be for the better and not the worse, is that these young men are guided still by the highest ideals of western civilization, as articulated by the Founding Fathers of the United States. Which is free speech, equality freedom of the individual, democracy, opposition to rule by kings, generals, clerics.

These principles are the only protection we have against the rize of neo-Nazis. This is why the rise of Jordan Peterson is so so crucial. He is guiding all these lost men towards those high ideals of western civilization, instead of letting them fall into easy bigotry and brutality towards immigrants, muslims, women, and so forth.

The days of postmodernist theory, neomarxism, social justice warriors, and feminism are over. The future is going to be decided by the West reclaiming its original principles and rethinking how much of the progress of the 20th century is for keeps, and what parts of it get thrown away.
