Post-Feminism, Reclaim the Importance of Women

[Cognisant]

The whole problem of the gender conflict stems from the idea that uniformity = equality, which could only be true if people are uniform. Suppose everyone is allocated the same amount of food per day, well if you don’t account for the fact that some people are bigger than others and therefore have different calorie requirements, you’re going to be overfeeding some people and slowly starving others. So clearly equal inputs do not equate to equal outcomes, if people are not all exactly the same and we treat them like they are all the same then (whether we give them too much or too little) we’re going to be doing everyone who doesn’t meet our expectations a disservice.

Men and women have an inherent sexual dimorphism and this isn’t random, this dimorphism evolved in the context of the other gender, that is our ecological niche, neither gender is equipped to survive without the other, sure a tribe consisting entirely of men will probably have no trouble acquiring resources and fending off predators but without any women the tribe is doomed. To put it another way if you split a car into the steering wheel and the rest of the car the larger part may seem more important but try driving a car without a steering wheel and see how far you get, not far I’ll bet. So any discussion of which gender is superior is completely overruled by the fact that both need each other, one gender could do 90% of the work and have 90% of the achievements and it just doesn’t fucking matter.

Being an astronaut is an achievement, winning a Nobel prize is an achievement, winning an Olympic medal is an achievement, founding a Fortune 500 company is an achievement, now having a baby isn’t really considered an achievement but consider two tribes. One comprised of absolute ultra chads who collect every conceivable achievement a society can award them, but never reproduce, and another tribe of utterly mediocre wage slave losers whose greatest “achievement” in life is finding a partner, settling down and raising the next generation. Guess which tribe lasts longer. My point is it’s easy to focus on what’s glamorous and forget what’s actually important.

Which brings me to my point: WOMEN ARE ACTUALLY IMPORTANT!

I don't mean women who add value to society by working high-skill and/or high-stress jobs, that's judging women by men's standards and those standards exist for men because we have no inherent value. A man is valued solely for what he does and achieves and the resources he can provide, the value he creates for society. By contrast women have inherent value, they are "burdened with glorious purpose" and that purpose ought to be acknowledged and celebrated and made glamorous because unlike all the other achievements having children is actually essential to the continuation of the species.

Now going back to my first paragraph, I'm not saying all women should consider popping out kids to be their life's sole purpose, in fact I don't thing anyone should be that narrowly focused, and some women might not want to have kids and that's perfectly fine, we're all individuals. But we need to acknowledge that a lot of people do want to have families of their own and a combination of poor governance and a culture that has forgotten the importance of women being women has resulted in a society where many people are struggling and it's going to be a problem for everyone.

Let us build giant marble and gold statues of Hera with a bulging pregnant belly, because if that goddess of home hearth and the sanctity of family was still around today she'd be super fucking mad with all of us.

Hestia is the nice one, Hera plays games and is corrupt. Seven female archetypes.
I think we incarnate into both male and female in different lives to learn both feminine and masculine traits and have to learn to balance them in our selves. You've got to have both to be whole.
Hera wants nothing more than marriage, but she is controlling and manipulative.
Hestia loves and cares for everything within the home as long as you are in the home you are protected, home and hearth.
Demeter loves and cares for her babies and children above all else and feeding and loving them.

None of those tribes exist.... plus when Hera was around a baby most likely died within two years of birth.
Chances of humans running out of humans today are zero.
We could slash humanity birth rate to near zero and we still be fine.
The problem is rather that we have too many people.
That is the real danger of our future.
We will hit probably 10 bil within our life times. Maybe next five years.
Can you even remotely conceive of how many people that is???
TO play dumb ITS A LOT!

Did you know that people with an IQ under 80 cannot understand hypothetical scenarios?

I know those tribes don't exist, it's called a thought experiment.

I read that before the age of 12, you are in the concrete operational phase of cognition.

That means that 10 percent of the adult population who cannot understand hypothetical scenarios have that level of mentality.

I separate cognition from emotional maturity though. Some people have superior emotional maturity compared to their cognition. Also, I read that there are stages beyond formal operations in cognitive development.

Yes, its OK, but most hypothetical are wrong.
We are simply not dying out.
Also the babies I see all the time seem to contradict the hypothetical.
If the government wants people to pump out babies then make more family friendly economy. Its not about women. Or men.
Its about the fact that 18 years of work and million dollars later you kind of have a kid.
Pumping out babies is easy.

Its not about women. Or men.

More about group selection.

The people who are not good at taking care of themselves die out.

With the internet, these people who make men or women feel bad are noise makers. Only like five percent but they affect all of us. If you find it hard to interact with women or men then it may be that they are the wrong kind or you are the wrong kind yourself. The five percent that fight all the time makes it hard to know if you can be with a person because what if they are one of them?

I mean that if you do not like where you live and who you interact with you can stop that when online but in the physical world that is hard. How do you know when a person is toxic unless you have good social intelligence or even the character to recognize it?

For people online and young persons, it seems that the opposite sex is dangerous because of all the people talking about the toxicity. But with the majority, this does not matter. People get on with their lives.
