I haven’t been writing in a while, and it’s not because I don’t like writing any more but things have accelerated elsewhere in my life and I can’t be involved everywhere at once. As this isn’t paid work, obviously I can’t afford to put blogging first.
Anyway, there are still many posts waiting to be finished. In the meantime, I’ll start another one.
I often muse about all the things that we’d need to change about patriarchy if we abolished men’s rule over women and the earth. Everything and every single aspect of social organisation is so much the opposite of how it should be, it’s dizzying to even begin to think about all the things we should stop / change.
Mostly it’s about men stopping from doing harm. But stopping men isn’t enough because beyond that there is the entire world to relearn, to heal, and our entire society to rebuild. We would be faced with the immense task of replacing all the misogynist, genocidal, biocidal practices men have ordered our society with for eons. So many of us now are acculturated, cut from land, nature and from one another.
If we managed to overcome men’s tyranny over us, how would we rebuild our world? I just want to throw some ideas here that I often come across these days....

I think “Epitaph Road” is a good view of this concept. A rabid feminist group devises a plague that kills men and only men, and only 2-3% of men survive (off camping for extended periods, on space station, in submarines, at distant military bases). They put themselves in various Cabinet and ministerial positions around the world so that they were the highest ranking officials in various nations, then unleashed the plague.
The book is set twenty years later, in a world where only 5% of births are allowed to be male, every girl gets contraceptive implants at adolescence, you must have permission to have a child, men have a list of approved jobs, many of which are nasty, security looks at all boys as suspicious, you have to have a babysitter/escort until 14 or pass the adult exams - and a sizable minority of men never pass it, resulting in a lifetime of supervision and management and menial labor.
What is a biocide planner?
This is a great article, by a lesbian feminist no less, on how many feminists ignore the dirty jobs done by men necessary for their lives.
It’s a Man’s World, and It Always Will Be
By Camille Paglia
The modern economy is a male epic, in which women have found a productive role — but women were not its author

The author of this article is crazy. We’ll ban men and isolate them and leave them to horrible drudgery and early death (ignoring the women who love their fathers, brothers, lovers and sons), we’ll rediscover our psychic powers and eliminate psychiatry.
And for all the “reconnect to nature living in happy communes”, as many girls and women flock to the cities to live as men. Like the Western reporter who said the only thing sadder than working long hours in a Chinese factory was Chinese agriculture - and the women appreciated making more than their fathers and brothers in the factory, working in air conditioning and having access to English classes than slaving away at home and valued less than the men.
We can not say women are all one thing. But I can say that as a little girl I preferred to play with boys than girls. I moved around a lot - almost every year of my childhood. I was good at sports. I did not like to play with dolls or anything like that which girls did. Plus the girls would shut me out for being new. But the boys did not care how long I lived there - if I could play ball - they wanted to play with me. I was pretty and that helped. : )
As a woman and mother, I have many female friends who are usually conservatives like me. When we became upper middle class, it was good because my school aged boys got to live in areas that were not ghetto cultured. But the women acted like the girls of my youth - isolating and shunning women they deemed beneath them in social status. I was not considered one of the in crowd. I was a conservative - they were liberal. I raised my own children - they all had nannies. When I traveled, I took my children. When they traveled, they left the kids with the nanny. I coached soccer for elementary school aged children when that was a man’s domain. I coached because most of the dads were too busy working their butts off to maintain their economic and social status. I let my children do “dangerous” boy things and taught them to be honorable when interacting with girls which the “in” women found oppressive. They enjoyed gossiping and it fell on deaf ears to me. I did my own gardening and house work; they had maids and gardeners. I raised cain with the school board when they went into liberal nananunuland. I was an out of the closet Christian and they hid it. ETC.
When I was in the working class almost all the moms had to work. I helped them take care of their children because they could not afford the care their kids needed. At one point I had 56 keys to houses as back ups for when children who came home to an empty house after school. Very sad. Many told me they were lonely and sad so I let them come over to do their homework with me. Before I knew it, I had over 20 children around the kitchen and dinning room tables doing their homework with me until their parents got home from work. At that time only wealthy or self employed women stayed home with their kids. I was always self employed.
I think men and women have voids in their nature and are meant to be together to fill in one another’s voids to make a whole as a couple. I love the nature of men and women. The marriages that last know their differences and are happy to fill in for one another.

And I didn't think it was cute, for the same reason I wouldn't have thought it was cute if he poked and hit her.
That video is proof that the adults there did nothing while she poked him in the eye and hit him. If I was one of his parents, I would be looking into filing charges against that institution, for the same reason if the roles were reversed.
Good grief! They’re four year olds. Let them be four year olds.
Would you say that if he poked her in the eye and “hit” her?
See post #89.
OK, but do you think the adults there would have allowed this to happen if the roles were reversed? Should they?
Probably.
Should they?
See post #89.
Are you a public school teacher?
If another child poked your four year old in the eye, would you still be referring me to post 89?
Yes. That should be obvious by now.
OK.
I tried to make mine a societal inevitability. Thus my buffoonish mistake.
Ping for later.
I see whatcha did there...
If a mans task is to advance and protect his family and society, he will do so with the tenacity and aggression of purpose the he is known for. If it is to pierce his nipples with hooks and hang his full weight from them longer than anybody else then he will excel at that. The Culture decides. (see Columbus/Indians).
