The Problem With Women Is Too Much Self-Esteem

The mantra for the past two generations in America has been that women suffer from low self-esteem brought on by a multitude of negative influences such as teacher bias, misogyny, old boys’ networks, parenting favoritism, double standards, gender stereotyped toys, etc.

Women — American women in particular — don’t have a low self-esteem problem; just the opposite — they have a problem of unwarranted high self-esteem. What kind of woman do you get when you combine a cultural apparatus designed to maximally extol the virtues of womanhood and cast all fault for any female shortcomings on male bias and discrimination with a biologically innate evolutionary imperative that renders men more expendable than women? Answer: A woman with a big fat head.

From the cradle, women are groomed by their peers, family, society and DNA-coded algorithms alike to embrace the joys of big-headedness. It used to be only beautiful women had this problem (and with at least a semblance of justification based on real value), but now ugly women, fat women, and lawyers are all riding the phony low self-esteem grievance chariot to the entitled princess winners’ circle. The result has been to produce a nation of broads hell-bent on seeing themselves as god’s gift to god himself.

The funny thing about female self-esteem is that it doesn’t take much to help it grow wildly beyond the bounds of the pot it was planted in. All women are born with a self-entitlement complex preinstalled. Eggs are biologically more expensive than sperm, and the brain of each sex has evolved to reflect that immutable procreative reality; in women, their minds are primed from birth to regard themselves as the more valuable sex, and this regard is not without merit, at least in the reproductive realm, which is the realm that underpins all other realms. Men, by contrast, are primed to regard themselves as less individually valuable than women, and this manifests as a willingness to take more mortal risks.

So now that we know that women start with a higher basal self-esteem than men, wouldn’t it make more sense for a healthy, functioning society to turn its cultural apparatus toward the project of boosting men’s self-esteem? In fact, this is what quasi-patriarchal Western societies used to do, before they were infected with the late decadent, postmodern deconstructivism and victimology virii. Now the optimal pattern has been completely turned on its head — intrinsically high self-esteem women are administered supercharged booster injections of ego-stroking, while intrinsically low self-esteem men are, either deliberately or coincidentally, pushed further into ego-deflating self-abnegation.

People in general over value themselves typically, but as they enter adulthood are given reality checks on that. Men seem to be given more than women, however.

My last female coworker spent an inordinate amount of time feeling that her brilliant, genius contributions to the office were being perennially ignored and under-appreciated.

Objectively, she did the least work out of anyone in the office and I saw no evidence that her work was particularly better than anyone elses'. There was, in fact, an hour she would spend every few days in an empty office, sitting on a yoga mat and she could not be bothered with work-related crap during her all-important Yoga Time.

She was also the last person into the office in the morning and the first one to leave in the afternoon.

To this day, she could probably tell you all about how the rest of us dickheads didn't appreciate her mighty contributions.

To be sure, dragging a heavy imaginary cross around was probably a huge burden.

Does Janice Fiamengo have a Reddit account?

I realize we can comment on You Tube and she replies, but /r/MensRights seems a more appropriate venue.

Message to JF:

Janice, we love you. Please register an account so we can tell you how smart and awesome you are.

-/r/MensRights (that's right, I'm speaking for everyone, tell me I'm wrong)

She just lays it out for you. So clearly put. She does a great job.

Woman just don't put in the effort or take the risks men do.
