Excellent take. I would only have this to add:
G-d planted a garden. He needed someone to till the garden so he made a man (in his image I might add) from the dust of his garden. He put the man in the midst of his garden, gave him his first job, and told him he was responsible for tilling and maintaining the garden.
In his garden G-D also planted some trees, but two of them were very special. One tree was the tree of life and the other was the tree of knowledge of good and evil. G-D told the man he could eat any fruit from his trees but not from the tree of knowledge. If the man screwed up and eat that fruit, he would surely die.
G-D in his infinite wisdom and foresight knew that man was going to need some help so he made a helpmate from the man’s rib while he was sleeping. G-D then introduced the helpmate to man. The man was in awe that G-D was able to take his bones and flesh and make him a helpmate. He named the helpmate woman.
Thus, G-D created Adam and Eve and established their relationship to one another. Unfortunately, they ate the forbidden fruit and were tossed out of the garden to surely die as G-D had warned. But before they died, G-D had given them the means to join together and create new life (children). G-D told them to go forth, be fruitful, and multiply. Thus started the circle of life that exists through today. The equations of the cycle of life are given below:
1 man + 1 man = null
1 women + 1 women = null
1 man + 1 women = children
People there should be no confusion. It takes a man and a woman to conceive a child. It takes a loving father and mother to raise that child. And each parent has a role and responsibilities to their children to help and encourage their success in life.
Success in life starts with good parents. Children learn something (good or bad) from each of their parents. Children deprived of this one loving father/one loving mother relationship have a much harder time finding success. Some children overcome tremendous odds to become good parents. They are usually the ones who want the next generation to have a better life than they did. Others will never be good parents for whatever reason and leave their responsibilities to society.
Children are the future of this nation. Children need good parents. Children need to become good parents.
Yeah, it’s hard to say anyone “benefits” from public schools. It does seem, though, that boys are getting especially damaged by them nowadays. Their grades, test scores, and graduation rates keep falling behind the girls.
For everyone worried about the coming of polygamy, you’re not thinking it through. Polygamy is a form of marriage, and marriage imposes responsibilities under the law. Right now, polygamous groups are not anjoined by law, and so their members (i.e. the males) can walk away when things get rough. I propose that the ability to walk away is at least as big a draw to these people as the multiple women. Take away the ability to leave - and it won’t happen. Oh, they’ll all still play together. And the promises about marriage will be used to get women to participate. But the marriage will never happen, because that would stop the games, and create the legal liabilities. Nope - won’t happen.
Theres a degenerate nature in a segment of White males that despises the independent, family-oriented ones. Ultimately, we can point the Countrys failures back at these degenerate White males.
Your comment started reasonably, but then you made the author’s point...” Once the game was harvested, the entire workload was turned over to the women.”
Polygamy is the downfall of women. What you refer to, bringing widows into a man’s house, should be charity, not polygamy.
People are lazy. I personally want to come back as my dog in my next life.

How is our grotesquely feminized society and culture not “female-dominated?” Our leaders might purport to have male anatomy, but that’s not their worldview, that’s not how they think. They’re MINOs (males in name only.)
I personally think we can trace our troubles to about a century ago, when women were given the right to vote. It was VERY shortly thereafter that FDR and his socialism was voted into office. We’ve been on a downhill slide to ever greater socialism ever since, and socialism is an essentially feminine worldview, stressing collective security over rugged individualism.
I think you exaggerate the author's supposed mistake. In the ghetto/welfare culture which the author condemns, female dominance extends far beyond the household. The neighboring households which make up the society are overwhelmingly female dominated as well, reinforcing each other. Furthermore, the educational bureaucracy and socialism bureaucracy which give intellectual and financial support to these female dominated households and societies are also female dominated. One does not see a predominance of men in this chain until one gets to the level of elected officials.
Should be. But the reality is far different especially among the tribes of the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains with whom I am most familiar.
If the widow didn't offer something (nookie, labor and usually both), she was an outcast. If she were lucky, she might get to group with similar outcasts to eek out a meager existence of fishing, gathering or, if she were fortunate enough to be in a more civilized tribe like the Tonkawa or Pawnee, tending crops.
The alternative was horribly worse: abandonment to a slow death by starvation or exposure.
Two things changed that: Christianity and Capitalism, both brought by the white man. The former gave my Native American ancestors the incentive to be more humane. The later gave them the means to do so.
Do you understand now why those two pillars of civilization are under constant attack by the Librards?
Yes. ELECTED OFFICIALS, who make all this possible. A matriarchy, by definition, has to be the opposite of a patriarchy, and in the latter societies, men make the executive decisions.
Was National Socialism a feminine worldview? How about Russian Communism? I totally agree that individualism/responsibility has been under attack to the detriment of all, but labeling it feminine distracts us from the fact that many men are also supportive of it. Feminism is but ONE “ism” that has gotten us to this place.
I guess I ought to worry about the “feminization” of society, but I don’t because I just don’t see it. I live in Virginia, right outside Washington DC and men still run everything.
If someone finds himself overly upset about women running things, that says more about his personal situation than reality.
