Gender Characteristics
In A Statement of Gender I explained the universal principle of gender and how it functions. As a continuation of how gender influences our actions I have included herewith the characteristics of gender.
The “I” represents the masculine principle of gender. It contains the will that motivates the “ME”, which represents the feminine principle of gender and contains the thoughts, feelings, and emotions of the self that require the direction of the “I” in order to produce and accomplish. Each person contains the “I” and “ME” components, but the “I” predominates in the male and the “ME” predominates in the female.
The “I” requires certain characteristics in order to enable it to fulfill its mission and the “ME” requires certain characteristics in order to enable it to fulfill its mission. The following listing of gender characteristics, are arranged alphabetically for convenience and do not in any way indicate which characteristics have the most importance.
Characteristics of the masculine gender are: abstract thinking, activeness, ambition, conditional love, constancy, contemplation, courage, creativity, daring, dependability, discipline, force, independence, individuality, knowledge, leadership, originality, pioneering spirit, positivity, progressiveness, spirituality, stability, and will-power.
Characteristics of the feminine gender are: accommodation, adaptability, caring, companionship, consideration, cooperation, diplomacy, friendliness, gentility, giving, harmony, industriousness, informative, materialism, nurturing, receptivity, responsiveness, rhythm, visual thinking, and unconditional love.
Everything produced comes from the feminine gender; however, what it produces must be in accord with the parameters of the masculine gender and these parameters are constant and encountered in all production whether in the construction of a space station or in the boiling of an egg. The building of a space station requires the taking into account of gravity, the rotation of the solar system, the movement of the solar system, and a host of other calculable factors. If even one of these factors changes the space station will fall out of orbit. In the boiling of an egg the water must boil at 212° every day; if the temperature at which water boils varies it will create chaos in the kitchen. Every occupation relies upon the constancy of the masculine principle. Fishermen preparing to go out at high tide expect high tide at a certain time, cowhands starting the day at sunrise expect that it will occur when it is supposed to, and the dancer expects the pull of gravity to be constant or he will constantly fall. Everything constructed or produced comes from the feminine gender but it must be in accord with the unseen but constant parameters of the masculine gender. The book of Malachi states, “I am the Lord unchanging”, which exemplifies the masculine principle.
Some people believe that these characteristics are available equally in men and women, but if that were possible, what would be the attraction between them? What motivation would there be to mate?
The gender characteristics that people possess provide the attraction of the opposite sex. Kenyan author David Maillu indicated that an African proverb states, “What a man does not possess is found in a woman and what a woman does not possess is found in a man.” Men and women possess the gender attributes that enable them to procreate the race; their characteristics supplement one another.
If we ignore gender characteristics, we will not mate, as is evidenced in the reduction of fertility rates that accompanies the adoption of the Western way of life throughout the world.

Stumble It!
In fact E.G. statements are so foreign to youre post 50’s P.C. fem think paradigm…that you attack the messanger by saying oh, he’s an “easterner”..
how convenient!!..
His message is comporeable to many pre fem-think P.C. ..westerners..
( I named just one ..freud.. but got no response)
So like plato’s allegory of the cave..you don’t want to see whats beyong youre comfortable psychological castration!!!!
infidel,w texas…though myself and E.G are by no means fused at the hip, as you would like to suggest…
The context and boldness of his message is what fascinates me as much as the message itself!!
Most American men (out of fear) cannot even say that men and women are anything but equal in all areas of life…which clearly is not the case!!
most men out of fear ( and feminist conditioning hysteria) cannot say women make questioneable leaders because most are too unstable!!!
they litterally have been psychologically castrated!! neutered!!!!!
The best leaders I know fought their way up the ranks to their positions..
And In a culture that coddles women, they simply don’t have to learn to be bold; inventive; enterprising!!..they simply expect that they are entitled to everything a man has irrespective of how he painstakingly forged his title between the hammer and the anvil!!
most men here speak from the post feminist victim demagoguery paradigm after the 50’s..
It has litterally psychologically castrated them!!!
Talk to some old warhorses of free enterprise (pre 1950) that have paid huge women-as-victim, and are entitled to everything lawsuits…
and they may give you a different perspective!!
Thurston, my friend, your humor is endearing.
Yes the horse has been senslessly beaten to death.
Funny how the greatest Eastern Religion I recall Elder mentioning was the Eastern Orthodox Chrstian Church.
but that is OK it is always more important to destroy the person and their methods as a means of obfuscating their message.
Wtexas knows when he has had enough intellectual self-Flagellation, sinc ehe never had all the facts to begin with.
Wonder how thick infidel is?
Yep the Protestants were wrong. THey should have not gone out on the limb as they did. They should have returned to the Eastern Orthodox Church.
Funny how that mess is not dissimilar to this dead horse beating that happened here, as the Protestants thought themselves so intelligent, when the facts were that they just refused to recognze the foundations of faith and return to them.
Instead they were so smart and sure and invented this discord and strife we all now live in, making people Ripe for the Marxist Materialists.
Great job.
Well guys, I’m going to tune in and drop out. EG knows our standard criticisms by now. He has a right to post whatever he wants, and we all have a right to read it…or not. This endless round and round is accomplishing nothing. I’ll only post if I have something new and original to say. The horse is dead and the beating will cease.
As promised, here is a brief list of good books on masculinity, in the pre-feminist Western tradition.
- The Taming of the Shrew, by William Shakespeare. Available on VHS and/or DVD.
- Man of Steel and Velvet, a Guide to Masculine Development, by Aubrey Andelin.
- Bringing up Boys, by Dr James Dobson. Also available on cassette tape and/or CD.
- Understanding the Male Temperament, by Tim LaHaye.
- The Misunderstood Man, Why Men Suffer & What Can Be Done About It, by Walter Trobisch.
- Husbands Who Won’t Lead, and Wives Who Won’t Follow, by James Walker.
You can probably get a lot of these at the public library in your city.
SK said: “You seem to hint at questioning ones loyalties to the east or to the west.”
A brief recap:
The way we got into this East/West discussion was, I asked Elder (post #82 in the thread on ‘Decreased Inventiveness…’) if his beliefs were a philosophy, a science, a religion, or a mixture of the three. He dodged that question (post #85) by saying that those were Western concepts. Therefore I concluded that his approach is Eastern.
Also, (posts #101, #82, and probably others) I showed that it is not a science (because science is based on observation) or a philosophy (which relies on definitions and proof/logic). So it must be a religion. An Eastern religion.
I don’t recall that any EGist has denied this so far.
Ref your #42, MMX.
42.
Douglas Adams was a lot more entertaining than EG.
I’ve added some western thoughts to this debate!!!that are going to be equally despised by the masses!!
I’ve quoted freud a few times…and let me paraphrase!!
He said something to the effect that most women are perpetually stuck in a state of childlike infantilism, and quite comforteable there!!! its a paraphrase.. but there it is…
He also stated a strong tendency in most women for penis envy!!
So there infidel..some western thinkers saying an equal message..
I would like to qualify my perspective..which is maybee freud was right, maybee he was wrong…But at least he lived in an age..pre 1950 feminist juggernaut, where he could at least draw logical theories and hypothesis, without being censcored by the P.C.police!!
He spoke in an age before Ideologically funded research!!
Before the modern age, people were a lot less confused about gender. Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew” is another good book to read about gender. Then read some good, i.e. older or conservative, commentaries on it. Don’t read the newer commentaries that put a spin on it to reinterpret it. Read the old commentaries because they weren’t written to be politically correct. Feminists today pretend they have new insights on what Shakespeare really meant. As if, after hundreds of years, the ghost of Shakespeare came back to tell them what he really meant. Yeah right.
I don’t think I can outdo Shakespeare, so don’t ask me to write my own play. I don’t think EG or MMX can outdo Shakespeare either.
MMX, why are you fixated on getting personal definitions from others? You seem to be looking for a new guru to replace EG. Read widely (from rational material), form your own opinion, and be your own man.
SK. I looked up gender bender. No I am not a gender bender. It’s repugnant.
SK said: “I hold the eastern orthodox church in high regard.”
The Eastern Orthodox Church is not that different from Roman Catholicism. So it is largely Western. So is Protestantism. To understand what I’m talking about when I say Eastern religion you have to go further East.
SK said: “Are you a ‘gender bender’ ?”
SK, please explain what you mean by that.
MMX said: “nothing you’ve added to this discussion consists of your own words”.
Hogwash. I’ve made dozens of posts. And I didn’t have to look to some guru to tell me what to think.
