“ It left me thinking about the modern parallel – ‘deplatforming' and 'cancellation' and how effective it is in repressing truth, and how few there are today who have the strength to withstand it to defy deceit and lies, let alone sacrifice themselves. And finally how those few who do are mainly men, not women, and what a problem modern women and feminism has proved to be. Laura’s sending me a Times article prompted this last thought. The strapline read 'Education and a more feminised culture are causing female voters aged 18 to 29 to identify as liberal, while male resentment pushes them to conservative views'. 'Predictable', I emailed her, 'as men become ever more marginalised and emasculated? Women are the problem! Who can blame the men?' 'Yes', she winged back, 'the piece says that. It is good to see some push back from them. It's a wonder how any of them would be liberal. The numbers in the US are crazy – 30 per cent of American women aged 25-44 have no children (and) overwhelmingly vote Democrat. However, as the liberal childless women all run the HR departments they will have problems.’ ”
Ok … much as I am lost in waves of admiration for her, for Laura, for Laura Loomer, for Lara Logan … for our Julia … they are, in the end … women. They need men about, even peripherally, who are still manning up … there is no substitute for man plus woman … and kids look up, see it happening in this noble way, not sleazy … and it forms their futures too.
I don’t understand men not being what they biologically are … we’re built to defend, fight, heavy lift, protect … that’s our thang … we’re rudderless ships otherwise. But not overbearingly … goodness, there’s shirley a happy medium … and women also need to pull the head in a bit.
I don’t want a patriarchy, a matriarchy, a yoof-archy … we need a family model-archy, everyone playing his or her role … what on earth is wrong with that? Those invader savages attack a woman or old person … all the males in the area pack in and pile on.
But what if the women have become harpy, hyena, man-hating hoes, sarcy, narcissist plus … and men are now wozzes? That’s totally twisted and I for one want no part of such a society.
Shirley a happy medium? Can she give me the numbers for next weeks lotto?
