(True) origin of the male identity crisis and its link with the birth of feminism

Summary: Written translation of the demonstration of the French author Eric Zemmour, explaining the origins and the link between the crisis of male identity and feminism's derivation,

​

June 23, 2009. on the sets of KTOV, in France, the writer, journalist and French polemicist éric Zemmour, whose last book "the first sex" provokes strong reactions everywhere, especially on the part of feminists, and Charol DELNOV, writer and philosopher, author of the socio-philosophical essay "What is the Man '.
These two characters came together to debate the crisis of male identity.
During this debate, Eric Zemmour was a fairly precise explanation of the links between the appearance of feminism, the "emasculation" of new generations of men, and the hypocrisy of the current system. debating in French, I translated into English this specific part of the debate. I will put the links to the original videos in French for them that it interests.

---TRANSLATION---

First, this two points interested me, and I will immediately respond with this sentence, which is from Bossué and which says: " GOD laughs at those who deplore the effects and who cherish the causes.".So that's it - very beautiful sentence - Yes, this is a very beautiful sentence that I apply quite often, moreover, in quotes to the "modern feminist ", who, like Chantale, grow in one direction, and who realize the absolutely deleterious effects that their actions cause and which are frightened by saying " But there are roles !" But there are roles! But there are roles! ". So ... hmm ... first thing.

Second thing, I do not believe in what Chantale says, I do not believe in what everyone says, hmm ... That it is the female emancipation in the 20th century, which led to a crisis of male identity. Me, I think the contrary, it is the crisis of male identity in the 20th century, which has led to the emancipation female. In any case, led to what we call " female emancipation ", because I do not believe in the female emancipation of the 20th century either. hmm ... I 'll try to explain, why in my opinion it is a decoy. As I do not believe either, what Chantale to explain, that is to say, that basically, women have always been, hmm ... minor, hmm ... infantilized ... Especially in the 19th century, she had a lot insisted on the 19th century. Simply what she does is that she confuses the 19th century with the history of humanity. That is to say that the 19th century is very special, in the history of the West, of humanity, etc ... and I will come back to it ... Because it is this industrial capitalism's moment, which is very particular, and who invents, with the complicity, moreover, of the church, who sees there the means, after the French revolution, to take back, yes, to take back in hand the families which were dechristianized by the French revolution. And that this alliance, from the famous SART and GOUPILLIONS, from the 19th century, which is very special. And it is a fairly common mistake to take this parenthesis, which for me is a parenthesis, with the phrase: " in general ", " for centuries ". So, There are the things I wanted to say first in response.

I think I'm part of the same culture as Chantale, that's why I don't discuss this a priori at all here. I can see what she meant. And I do think that there is a peculiarity of Western Christian culture, which is moreover explained, long before us by Rougemont, in his book " the invention of love ". Because in fact, the heart of the story is there. Last thing, I will come back after. I quite agree with the statement that has been made, that is to say, in fact, in the years before the 19th century, the identity man/woman was quite obvious, it has become problematic since tens of years, and I think this problem then comes to the male identity crisis.

So if you don't mind, I 'm going to go very quickly, I'm going to explain this male identity crisis, as I see it.

So, that is to say, that man has been defined for millennia by his ability to protect women and children, therefore by war. This is t to say that man is not legitimate, he holds the legitimacy of his " power " that we should not exaggerate, but we will come back, he only takes his legitimacy of this ability to the war, and to protect his family, to protect the woman and the child. Without that, he has no legitimacy, and that has held for centuries. And I believe that the war of 1914 will completely destroy this ancestral scheme. That is to say, until the war of 1914, war is something dangerous, a man risks his life there, but, he has glory, he has honor, he returns glorious (even if, in fact, the war is much less glorious, than people say). from 1914, for the first time in history, all men are requisitioned. and therefore women are alone, free ... And secondly, all men are transformed into human larvae. Because the war of 14-18 is a rats war, this is a slice war, they are in slices, they are not the hero that they were once by waging war and indeed they feel like that. And when they come back from the 14-18 war, they discover two things :

1. on the one hand, women have a great time at the back, when they suffered them, and their stick grudge (we will see that in 40 it will be a hundred times worse).
2. and secondly, they are humiliated by the role that they were forced to hold in this war, that of larvae,

​

And, at first, of course, there's a difference between the French and the German soldier, but overall they are the same ... in France, the slogan from 18 will be "never be that again". That is never again war. But they do not make is counted from the moment or they say never to war again, they also say never the man again. They take away the legitimacy of their powers. And while on the ...this... thing ... is ... well ... It will get noticed ... And one sees that it begins in the 20s, with "Les garçonnes ( the flappers) ", short hair, although the hair has always been the very symbol of femininity. That's why we hide them... Immediately it is committed. And then begins a speed race between the men who no longer want to " pay " for the masculine identity, but who want to safeguard it, and the women, who, in my opinion, completely panicked for this new freedom, have a behavior that Freud would describe as hysterical. For they know not what to do with this power that literally falls in their hands, but that they don't exactly understand exactly what it stands for. and this is how I analyze the fascist and communist movements of the 1930s. They are virile parodies of men completely weakened by the 1st World War. And who try to display, according to a parody logic, an exacerbated virility, to impose new ones on women.

Thus comes the war 40. And I recommend to you on this subject, the magnificent work of PATRICK BUISSON, on the second world war and the erotic years. He explains that from 40, women escape to men. In particular, French women escape to French men, simply because French men are defeated. They are defeated, they are prisoners, so they are humiliated. He explains that, immediately, from June 1940, a crossroads circulate in Europe, and which is: " The French woman will always keep her heart to the vanquished ". So I let you transform this. And Patrick Buisson explains very well how the German soldier will be the vector of the "emancipation" of the French woman, as the French woman, in bulk will go to the winner, the German soldier, how she "emancipates" herself of the french solder, the french man, and how in 45 she will start again with the American soldier.

And it is like this that we can explain famous operations of Women mowing in France, which is an attempt by the resistance, to regain control, symbolically, the bodies of women French who had escaped her during 5 years.

And it is still this crisis of male identity that is still the guiding thread of the 20th century. Because in 45 there is a real moral order which is established on the guilt of the French woman between 40-45. And in 68 the woman " liberation ", or what we will call " liberation ". It was the revenge of that period on the moral order resulting from the resistance and 45.

And it is clear today and it is perfectly exciting that the male order is dead. That is to say, that one who demonized female sexuality, who ostracized it and who feared it, today, is dead. And what has happened instead ? is that, in the name of freedom, in the name of an alleged " female emancipation", we have a new moral order that has been established, I don't want to be too long so I would come back to that, a new order who settled on the libertinism of the 70s, but I think we will come back to it later, and which is a new moral order, where it is male sexuality which is ostracized, in the name of hatred of violence. That is to say, male sexuality is equated with violence, and we have a new moral order, puritan, but female, which prohibits male sexuality.

You know that today, more than half of French prisoners, in France, are for sexual crimes. And the symbolism is very strong since it was magistrates, who are the majority, of women, and condemning men for sexual crimes. So we can see how it is spent, how the crisis of identity of men, has led to a new female moral order. But I hope that we will have time to come back to his questions there. I imagine that the questions will relate to it. I don't want to be too long and make it longer than Chantale.

---END TRANSLATION---

this allows us to better understand the current situation and all the illogical "drifts" of feminism.these are attempts to survive of a fake system that want to legitimizes its possession of a power that did not naturally belong to it (aka all women are princesses and exceptional beings by the simple fact that they have a vagina), while imposing on others the responsibility of such a power (aka all perilous tasks are entrusted to men because it is their responsibility as a man, it is even too much honor done for men to leave them to work to death for the good eyes of his princesses ... well, you get the idea).

I just translated the part which seems relevant to me, the whole debate is available on youtube, in French, and lasts 60 minutes.

Lessons learned:

• the crisis of the current masculinity comes in part from the fact that the broken men of the 1st world war gave up this responsibility as men.
• What is commonly called female empowerment is only women who have just picked up the power abandoned by men, my senses picked up the responsibilities that come with such power.
