Confronting Matriarchy and The False Premise of Feminism

All of western culture is ruled by a vast and invisible matriarchy operating from the shadows so its actions are nearly invisible. The foundations of this Matriarchy are maternal authority and women’s Superiority Complex. From the moment of birth, men are taught to defer to maternal authority. As soon as they enter public school, they confront almost exclusively female teachers whose absolute authority over the classroom is enforced by what few men are part of the public education system. In high school, young males are usually exposed to a few male teachers whose own exercise of authority is quite different from their female counterparts. Male teachers often handle discipline problems in the classroom at a much lower level than female teachers, who tend to escalate matters to male administrators if their hegemony is challenged.

Men who marry usually find their wives expecting the mantle of maternal authority to be simply handed over to them by and from the man’s mother without missing a beat. It sometimes takes many battles for a man to make the point to a new wife that she is his spouse and equal, not his mother. Women who stubbornly insist on being slow learners on this issue set up oppositional and adversarial positions which often will poison the marriage over time. Women expect to be able to make the rules and simply expect men to obey them. Men who assert themselves and demand some degree of regard and consideration for their point of view will often have to fight the battle for recognition over, and over, and over.

When feminists realized that they were about to overthrow women’s own matriarchal power base with their initial anti-marriage and anti-motherhood stances, they did an abrupt about-face and embraced motherhood even more fervently than they had rejected it just a few years before.

Matriarchy has now taken over the court system as feminist “jurisprudence” has replaced objective facts with female feelings as the relevant criteria for determining guilt or innocence. A woman’s emotional state has even become adequate defense against charges of murder, and women have a multitude of emotional defenses, ranging from the abuse excuse to PMS, which literally allow them to get away with murdering men, children, and other women.

Matriarchy depends on shadow power. It must deny its power and function from the shadows. All matriarchal power stems from the maternal role and maternal authority, and the power to grant or deny sex.

Foundations of Female Power

1. The Mating Dance – Sexual Power

2. Maternal Authority – Moral Power

3. Control of the Education/Socialization system – Indoctrination Power

4. The Male Protector Role – The Power of Weakness

5. The Rescue Reflex – Victim Power

6. Unfair Fighting – Confusion Power,  Tantrum Power

7. Emotional Terrorism and Violence – Intimidation Power

8. Betrayal – Shock and disappointment Power

Foundations of Male Powerlessness -

1. Denial of Fear

2. Fear of Isolation

3. The need to convince, have credibility, be acceptable, receive validation.

As boys, men are separated from other males; fathers particularly, terrorized and isolated, and told that the only source of emotional sustenance and intimacy is with women and in sexual union. This places a great deal of power in the hands of women, which is difficult to resist the temptation to abuse.

As men confront the totally changed male and female roles that are the legacy of feminism, women are going to lose a lot of their historic moral power. Confronting the Matriarchy involves shedding light on its workings – naming the vague purpose behind the behavior intended to confuse and obfuscate.

Feminism is based on false premises:

* That, historically, men as a group or class had more power than women as a group or class.

* That the very structure of social institutions reflected this and gave all men more power than any woman

* That what was true of any man was true of all men

* That all men were responsible, culpable, and shared the guilt for any and all bad acts by any and all men.

* That all women are inherently good and smart, and all men inherently evil and stupid

False premises cannot lead to anything except false conclusions.  Actions and social policy based on these will not produce the desired results, but rather the opposite or totally unpredictable results.

The truth is that power within any society is not divided horizontally, but vertically.  Society is a pyramid structure with the majority of people at the base of the pyramid, and progressively fewer people the farther up one goes.  At each level, there was a subtle, complex, and dynamic balance of power between men and women.

From about the middle of the 2nd decade of life, through about the middle to end of the 4th, women have an inborn advantage in power based on the structure of courtship, the human mating dance.  Men must seek and court women’s favor in order to have an outlet for their drives to reproduce and continue the species.  Women are able to demand resources from men in return for this outlet, which implies that they demand for men to compete with other men for control of those resources.  The pea hidden under the rapidly moving shells of this sexual-power shell game is the fact that once men had these resources, they usually turned control of them over to women.

Now, women are being encouraged to compete with men directly for these resources, just like men compete with other men, as well as to hold on to the power to make men turn over the resources they have competed with other men, as well as women, to acquire.  It will not work, and it cannot work – because it attempts to deny, refute, and change the behavior and preferences of the majority of women.  First, it simply means that most men just have fewer resources to give to women.  Competition makes it a lot tougher to get them.  Second, the bar has been raised for women to expect MORE, while LESS is what is available.  Women are disappointed.  …Boo hoo.  Grow up and get over it.

While the short-term balance of power has shifted in women’s favor, justified by always being able to refer to a distorted interpretation of history to prove that women of today deserve such an imbalance to make up for things “suffered” not by them but by their ancestresses, it will not and cannot remain so for long.  Men will find ways to get their power back – and the number one way has been to decrease women’s power in the traditional ways that females have had power over men:  in sexual interaction and in social pampering of women, also known as “chivalry.”

As women invade men’s former spheres of power, and demand equal share, so do men push back against women’s traditional spheres of power – personal, particularly sexual, relationships.  When women bailed out of their traditional roles so did men.  If women had no need of a man to protect and provide for them, they certainly didn’t need commitments from men to do so.

Besides, commitments are only binding on one side – the male side.  Women were encouraged to see marriage as a form of “oppression” and leaving it as a form of “self-expression.”  The more astute and intelligent among men thought that just skipping over the “oppression” stage and letting women “self-express” from the get-go made much more sense.  Why cave in to a woman’s demands to get married when she is going to come in a few years to hate the man for allowing her to pressure him to letting him “oppress” her?  Makes no sense at all.  But, then, feminism refutes the very existence of something like sense as “patriarchal” or “androcentric.”

As women have gained power in the worlds of business and politics, they have lost it in personal relationships.  The old traditional notions of male-female interdependency were equally binding on men and women, and when women broke those bonds they broke men’s at the same time.  Like the old Joni Mitchell song, “Big Yellow Taxi” says, “you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone.”  The men who adapted early and well to the new visions of total equality (and uniformity) were perfectly happy to let women support themselves, AND the children.  They gave women what women were asking for.  It just didn’t turn out to be what women wanted.

Men, damn fools that many of us are, first ignored feminism expecting it to go away and collapse from its own internal contradictions and refutation of reality.  And, more than a few of them quite liked the idea of free, uncommitted, sex.  What followed was an absolute orgy of pretense and counter pretense; lie and counter-lie; manipulation and counter-manipulation.

Today, many women are finally waking up to what they have lost due to feminism.  And, more than a few are calling to have it back.  Sorry, grrls – when Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall, all the kings horse and all the kings men, couldn’t put things back together the way they were, ever again.

There has been a fundamental change in social values.  These values reflect the statistical average of the acts based on those values which result from billions of tiny and seemingly inconsequential decisions each day.  A woman, who decides to let man-bashing hate speech fall stupidly out of her mouth in an otherwise empty head, drops one more drop of poison into the well of relationships that everyone must drink from.  A man who overhears her likes women just a tiny bit less.  A man who might have otherwise considered asking her out on a date, decides that he really doesn’t want to date a man-basher, so the opportunity for a positive interaction between them gets passed up.

Older men now tell younger ones “DON’T get married.  DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.”  The anti-male bias in law which has been used to temporarily shore up the loss of social controls of irresponsible male behavior has been used so extensively against responsible men, that more and more they just avoid situations where they might be vulnerable.

And, as women get angrier and angrier over having to live up to the demands of the new world that FEMININE-ism has created for them, they just keep escalating their war on men and boys.  And men just keep moving farther away from women, and liking them less and helping them less.

For more than 2000 years, Aristotle’s erroneous medical theories, his false premises, led physicians to bleed their sick patients with leeches and instruments.  The treatment itself became the cause of the disease, and more people died from too much doctoring than died from too little.

FEMININE-ism is bleeding the life out of society because its premise is false.  Maleness is not the root of all evil, as they say, any more than blood was the source of disease instead of vitality, but the root of at least half the good in the world.  Women are not universally “the fairer sex,” although they probably were more moral when society demanded of them that they be, but are the root of at least half the evil in the world.

The result is that FEMININE-ism has blinded society to female evil and male good.

False premises cannot lead to anything but false conclusions.  Blindness to evil makes one totally vulnerable to it, and blindness to good removes it from one’s life.
