The flaw at the heart of Feminism.

 

If we take humans as a whole despite the dogma that we are all equal we are clearly not all equal. Some people will make 100m runners and some won't. No amount of trying can change this. As Simon Cowell is very particular about some people have got the X factor and some people do not. It is a simple fact provable by the markets and Cowell should know.

So what if we don't have what it takes to be a runner or a successful singer. It is a dent to our ego for sure. But it is an important wake up call: as Mick Jagger famously sung 

No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometime you'll find
You get what you need

And the truth is right here: what you want is just an ego trip, there is a deeper level dealing with reality and what you actually need.

Now how does this fit into the flaw of feminism? The picture takes all of humans and looks at the biggest difference between them. It is not whether they can run or whether they can sing, it is whether they can bear children. When you are born people immediately decide whether you can bear children and call you a "girl". This identifies the most important skill you have. You may have some congenital "deformity" which means you will never be a runner, or singer and people will note that. "Deformity" in quotes because it is only a deformity relative to what is common and expected: in itself it is what it is. But the most important thing will be whether you can bear children.

And why is this the most important thing? Because the next generation are linked to this generation through "girls".  No girls and the human race ends.

From a personal perspective we may think, "well who cares if the human race ends, it doesn't affect me." But turn that around and you realise you are only here because of the human race: the work put in by your parents, especially your mother's ability to bear children, and more broadly the natural processes that gave rise to humans in the first places.

So what people find is they are born into a world with already some skills attached. In the case of those humans with a eggs and a womb the ability to bear children.

There is no prejudice or conspiracy by the world to interfere with these humans lives, it is part of their contract with the world. When you are born you will have a body and that body will have certain features. IF you don't want those features then you don't want a body, which means you don't accept the contract and I guess those people die.

This contract includes lots of things but more general than even child birth is the need for water and food, and the possibility of getting ill. Also included in the contract is death. When you sign for life you get all this in the bundle.

Now the language here is ridiculous. I am talking as thought we went shopping and chose to have a life. If anything it is the other way around. Life we shopping and chose us. Life gave us this body and life dumped us with responsibility to get fed and watered and all the other things.

Even that isn't quite right. The body actually does all this by itself. The "I" bit is a myth that we like to tell ourselves so we don't have the accept reality. But that is covered in previous blogs.

Anyway some humans have a problem with this contract in particular Feminists who reject their ability to bear children.

They look at those humans who do not have this ability and want to be like them. They think why am I stuck at home looking after children when I could be out having a good time working, making money, fighting wars, taking part in politics and public affairs etc etc.

Well look between your legs the answer is there.

So Feminists have tried to have the best of all worlds. They want to both bear children, but also forget about this and live like those humans who can't have children as though they didn't have children themselves.

Many women do make this choice in fact. They ignore their ability to have children and live as though they couldn't. Now that is fair enough.

But that is the point, to be a man a woman must deny her ability to have children.

Going back to the "want" and "need" bit. There is a problem here. Someone may "want" to deny their ability to have children, but if they are honest they will see that animals in general "need" to have children. What actually makes a bird build a nest, lay eggs and go though all the hard work to raise their fledglings? Why do this? It must be a very deeply ingrained behaviour. And so it would need to be. If the animal kingdom lost its ability and need to breed then it would cease to exist. Our very existence today rests upon the millions of years and countless parents who have worked to produce offspring before us in an unbroken chain.

This is where Capitalism and Modern Politics is so dangerous and clearly flawed. What we need after food and housing is child birth. And that places women at the centre of society.

So why do some women feel marginalised? Why do they create ideas of a "patriarchy" and a "conspiracy" to oppress and silence them? How has the world turned against women, child birth and children in general.

Well for a start some things have been misunderstood. It has been commented many times in this blog that there is a fundamental difference between those who can bear children and those who cannot: the former carry their own children and give birth to them. There is a fundamental bond between mother and baby: the two are inseparable until the umbilical chord is cut. Meanwhile for the other half of humanity they must trust women to tell them who their children are. If a male impregnates a woman he has no idea how many other men have impregnated her and so he has no idea which of her children is his. This leads automatically to ideas like marriage and keeping women locked up in doors to ensure they give birth to his children. In Ireland they say "a girl who does doesn't, and a girl who doesn't does" meaning that a girl who sleeps around (a slag, or whore) will not get proposed to, while a chaste girl will get proposed to.

Now this is extremely obvious. The reason that some women don't realise this contract with men, is because they do not care about men any more. They have become completely self centred. Now that is very much a logical consequence of an economy and politics which places all emphasis on the self. This is the American way of thinking, and unfortunately it has spread outside the US. It means that people before what they need and look more and more at what they want. As a result you hear feminists say ridiculous things like, "why are men allowed to sleep around but not women?", "why are women called slags but not men?", "why are women stuck at home and not allowed to go out and work?" These are historical ideas with very good reason. With the advent of genetic testing it is true that these ideas are no obsolete. We can replace them all with mandatory genetic tests so that men do not need to provide support for children who are not theirs. All children born to a woman are hers so this law is not needed in reverse.

But in addition to major misunderstanding made by Feminists (basically ignorant Americans) the core problem is that Capitalism has been promoted at the expense of Womanhood. Life used to be based around the nurture of children. When humans gained resources and set up dwellings it was to provide a space for children. But as time has progressed these processes have been isolated into the "family" unit, built around the idea of inheritance. Accumulated Capital is passed on to children and to protect this the above rules are made much stronger to ensure males can certainly pass on wealth to their own children, and conversely other families are excluded meaning that people live in isolation from other people. Women who would once have shared child birth and child rearing in an integrated world of creches and female domain now find themselves locked up in private accommodation. And as Capital becomes more controlling they become more isolated and cut off from the world.

Now women should have fought to end Capitalism but instead they have decided to abandon being women and they have tried to be Men.

A fundamental lack of understanding, brainwashing by Capitalists, and good old fashioned American ignorance have combined to create a toxic ideology that seeks wants over needs and abandons the very idea of "womanhood." By implication this implies an abandonment of "childhood" now as well as kids learn about money and business at an ever younger age and learn to shop and integrate with a market place ultimately reducing their very idea of themselves and their lives to just commodities in a market place, energy and life that has no other meaning that to be sold in employment.

So Feminism has a fundamental flaw that rather then embrace what women are and what women need, they have turned against the woman and embodies a "free" self which can pursue its wants with no regard for reality. Unsuspectingly pushing women into the sphere of humans who cannot give birth (namely men), a making women into men.

Because women have been uprooted from what they are, they now see any pressure to be what they are as a threat and oppression. They have been alienated from themselves. They do not see that half of the human race has the ability to bear children, and that is a gift not a burden.
