It was taxation without representation. It was subjugation. Occasionally, and in many periods in history and many territories frequently, women had been horrifically abused by men and men got away with it. Women were subjected to stunted growth. They were not allowed to self-actualize. They were sexually assaulted with impunity, hence the MeToo movement.

So the patriarchy had its positive aspects, shielding, protecting, providing, but the quiproco, the trade-off was both unacceptable to women and no one bothered to ask them.

Patriarchy was a bad thing and let no one tell you otherwise.

And one day, women woke up and they realized that most of their relationships with men in professional capacities, in service capacities, in intimate settings, most of the relationships with men were abusive, are abusive, and then women had a choice. That happened about 150 years ago with the suffragettes.

At that point, women had a choice. They could say, we’re going to build a better world. It’s going to be balanced, it’s going to be equal, and it’s going to be in some areas male-free or at least free of the dominion and control of men. But it’s going to be fair, it’s going to be just, it’s going to be compassionate.

But at that point, around the 1960s, women made the wrong choice. They did not choose, they did not choose to create a better world. They chose to emulate and imitate men.

Now, we know in psychology that victims of abuse tend to adopt the abuser’s point of view. They tend to internalize the abuser. It’s a way of regaining control over one’s life.

If I am the abuser, then I cannot be abused anymore. If I become the abuser, I can abuse others, but no one will abuse me.

So many victims of abuse, actually the vast majority of victims of abuse in complex trauma, for example, tend to adopt traits, behaviors, and personality dimensions of their abusers.

Women were no exception.

Starting after World War II, women became men. They had adopted internalized, assimilated, emulated, and imitated their own abusers, men.

They tried to conform to male stereotypes, actually. They tried to become men too.

It was a catastrophically wrong choice which took us down a path of no return and is threatening the very existence of a species. It was brought on by militant feminist literature.

And I’m not being misogynistic here. I’m being fact-based. Men are guilty of the most horrendous crimes against women, but when women became emancipated, more or less, when they were liberated, they didn’t choose the Nelson Mandela way of forgiving your enemy and coexisting with him. They chose to become the enemy. They have seen the enemy and it is I.

I’ve seen the enemy and it is I.

Women had become men and women are trying to outdo men. Women are trying to outman men to this very day.

Men, on their part, shied away, bitter, resentful, hateful. They betrayed and are betraying women.

For example, they are coercing women into casual sex and then abandoning. They lie to women.

Men are becoming more and more narcissistic and psychopathic in their attitudes to women because they perceive women as a looming threat on the one hand and as the gift that keeps giving on the other.

Why buy the cow? If you can just have a pint of milk now and then in the local pub or bar.

So men have given up on women. Men have given up on modern women because the power structure had been upended and men feel belittled and under siege. Men feel frightened. They’re in panic and they want to get away and they want to get away from the source of their frustration and they become aggressive.

Now everyone, men and women, everyone is becoming more narcissistic and more psychopathic.

This is the tide that lifts all boats.

Narcissism and psychopathy are on the ascendants. They have become the organizing principles of our civilization. They make sense of life. They endow it with meaning and provide us with goals and direction.

But women regard their newfound narcissism as an empowering ideology. They had created a whole ideology around being vulgar, bullying, immoral, amoral.

A small minority of men used to be narcissists and psychopaths and bullies. Other men shunned them. These were the bad apples. These are the bad men.

No one wanted to be like them. They ended up badly.

Women chose these men, the psychopaths, the narcissists and the bullies as role models.

And suddenly this became an ideology which legitimized and contextualized misconduct, misbehavior and misdeeds.

Men, women had become proud of becoming bad guys. Women aspire to become bad guys.

And they think that this is about being assertive. This is about being empowered. This is about being genteel and autonomous and self efficacious.

They don’t realize that to be a narcissist or a psychopath or a bully, that’s the easiest thing in the world. It’s an uprobing of responsibility. It’s a surrender of autonomy.

When you’re defined by someone else’s gaze, you’re wickling. You’re nobody. You’re a loser. You’re nothing.

Narcissists don’t exist except when they’re seen and noticed. Psychopaths are losers.

But women want to go there and are going there inexorably. You should see the comments that I’m receiving and the direct messages and the emails from women. They keep telling me, we’re going to do these things because men used to do them.

But women are wrong. These things are doubly, cheating, acting immorally, being vulgar, foul language, drinking to the point of blackouts, casual sex. These were not the things that men used to do. These were the things that certain men used to do.

And the overwhelming vast majority of men regarded these other men as outcasts and misfits and miscreants, miscreants. These men who used to drink and curse and womanize, who never had a family, who always were carousing, and the overwhelming vast majority of men regarded them with disdain and contempt.

And yet these types of men became the role models for women.

Now don’t get me wrong. The forthcoming age is matriarchal. We had patriarchy and we are entering the age of matriarchy. Women are on the ascendance. Women are going to rule. Women are going to dominate. We are entering the female age. Women are much better suited to the challenges and exigencies of the postmodern world in a variety of ways.

If you want to, you can watch my other videos on gender and gender ratios and so on. Suffice it to say that women are far more accomplished as far as education, jobs. They are very close to wage equality.

In many, many professions they dominate and these are elite professions.

The oncoming age is the age of women, artificial intelligence, robotics with displacement. Muscle of men will no longer be needed. Their brains will no longer be needed. Their sperm is no longer needed. Men are not even needed to produce children, to procreate. Women are utterly self-sufficient and independent and are not going to take shit from anyone anymore.

Men have to accept this. Men have to adapt to a world dominated by women.

But so do women. With power comes responsibility. With responsibility comes accountability. With accountability comes payment, cost.

Women must adapt to their new attained or new obtained dominance. Women now increasingly are in control. Women bear as much responsibility to this emerging new brave world as do men.

And if women choose to imitate good for nothing men, men who are the refuse of virility and masculinity, if women take these men, psychopaths, narcissists, bullies, if they take these men as role models, we are doomed. We are doomed.

There’s a joint responsibility of the genders here.

Women confuse equality with identity. Equality is not identity. Equality is about access, equal access to money, to wages, to education, to health care, to positions, no glass ceiling. These are all laudable goals and women should continue to pursue them and men should help them. Men should help women become equal because this will unleash an enormous enormous suppressed reservoir of energy and creativity.

Half of humanity had been hitherto prevented from contributing. So this half we should incorporate it. We will double our force as a species. We should make this happen as men. We should help women become equal.

Equality, I’m all for it. Identity, I’m all against it. Identity is about homogeneity. It’s about unigender. Having a single gender, half of it with vaginas and half of it with penises.

I can’t think of anything more dystopian, more unsettling, more nightmarish than this. Fluidity of sex is again a choice, a personal choice. A personal choice is a good value.

But when fluidity is used to homogenize, when fluidity is abused by certain groups to create fuzziness, we are all just human beings. We are not men and we are not women. We are people, pregnant people, not pregnant women.

This is bad because homogeneity leads to entropy and entropy leads to death. Homogeneity means there are no differences and where there are no differences, there’s no attraction, there’s no comparison, there’s no learning, there’s no evolution or growth or development. Differences, gradients create all these processes.

And if we have no differences, everything will die and peter out and shrivel and wither.

Indeed, we see a precipitous decline in human communication and interaction, especially between the genders. Dating is down by 60%, a whopping 60%. Even hookups are down by 25%.

In several countries in the world, there’s no sex. Sex has vanished completely. Relationships are gone. Long-term relationships gone. Cohabitation leads nowhere.

We need children and we don’t have any.

There is this myth that there are not too many people in the world. Yeah, there are too many people in the world, old people. We don’t have enough children. We need many more children if we want to sustain, for example, our retirement skills and we don’t have them. No one is having children. No one is getting married. No one is having a long-term relationship. There are no intimacy skills and no relationship skills. We’ll deal with it a bit shortly.

And the whole sphere of intergender politics is suffused with counterfactual claims, nonsensical claims and myths in an age of truism. Everyone has his own facts. Everyone is as entitled as everyone else to make a statement or express an opinion.

And the outcome is no one is happy. You don’t need to be a scholar. You don’t need to read the literature. You don’t need to listen to Sanvakninim. Just look around you. Do you know anyone who’s happy? No one is happy. We are doing something very wrong.

And in my video with Richard, I tried to isolate or pinpoint several social trends which are undermining our future.

So our future critically depends on collaboration between different genders, genders with differences.

So there’s first, I’ll summarize it very briefly. You can watch the video with Richard, which is longer. I’ll summarize these trends.

Number one, invulnerability signaling. Everyone is signaling to everyone. I’m invulnerable. I’m autonomous. I’m magentaic. I’m powerful. I’m goal-oriented. I’m empowered. I’m unemotional. I’m uninvolved with you. I’m self-sufficient. I don’t need you. Go away.

This signaling of invulnerability had become a variant or a subspecies of virtue signaling. It is virtuous to be invulnerable, impregnable, impermeable, invincible. That’s narcissism. It’s a form of grandiosity.

So men and women team up for one-night stands. And throughout the process, they signal to each other, we don’t really need you. I’m here just for my own pleasure. And I’m going to see you again after that.

The second trend is gender vertigo. Vertigo, V-E-R-T-I-G-O. Gender vertigo. Apologies for my accent. Gender roles, which are socio-culturally determined, of course. They’re not biological. They’re not natural. There’s nothing natural about being a man or a woman. This is dictated by society. And it’s ever-shifting and ever-changing. Gender roles are fluid, have always been, by the way.

In the mountains of Albania, in the steppes of Russia, in the savannas of Africa, gender roles were different all the time. In biblical times, the 19th century, gender roles change all the time. They’re fluid, but it’s the first time in human history that there is a concerted attack on the very concept of gender roles.

There’s an attempt to abolish gender roles, or as Richard calls it, criminalize gender roles. And when gender roles collapse, sexual scripts collapse. Sexual scripts are scripts that tell us how to behave when we are in an encounter with the opposite sex or with a potential sexual partner.

Sexual scripts are critical because they lead to sex, which ultimately leads to family formation and procreation. So we don’t have gender roles. We don’t have sexual scripts. It’s enormous, god-awful confusion as to appropriate and inappropriate behavior, how to behave. Codes of conduct have vanished. People don’t know how to behave. Men and women are utterly befuddled and confused.

Men are trying to emulate some feminine behaviors. Women are trying to be men.

And you can see that when young people are arguing about splitting bills, going Dutch, young people even have arguments about how many orgasms they’ve had. Everything is reduced to some kind of accounting, the number of orgasms and who pays for which drinks.

And this is an outcome of confusion, desperate attempts to introduce some structure in order into a melee of chaos and the miasma of coming across each other.

In the absence of institutions, and all institutions are dead, you realize it, family, community, church, even the nation state is dying. In the absence of institutions, relationships, however rudimentary, even one might stand, relationships have to be negotiated from scratch every single time. This is time consuming. It’s energy depleting. This need to renegotiate everything every single time creates destructive friction among the gender, among men and women. Frustration, aggression, exhaustion, and ultimately leads to abusive behaviors.

And so people say, I’d rather be alone. The squeeze is not worth the juice. The prize is not worth the price.

And many other such phrases. I don’t need any of this. I don’t need this. You know, who wants this? It’s too much.

So this leads to atomization and alienation, loneliness and boredom. Everyone in his cubicle with his Netflix, not seeing other people.

2016 was the first year in human history where the majority of men and women never came across another person from the other six throughout the year.

You heard me correctly. 2016, majority of men and women did not see another each other during the year. Didn’t come across each other during the year. Didn’t have a single encounter.

People live alone. People withdraw.

But when you live alone, when you’re subject to boredom and loneliness and emptiness and alienation, and there’s a collapse of agency, a collapse of self-efficacy, because agency and self-efficacy are only in relations to other people. Everything is relational.

When you don’t have relationships of whatever nature, there’s no you. The very boundaries of the self are defined from the outside.

Your interactions with others mold you and shape you into who you are. And you know by interacting with other people is the only way for you to find out where you end and they begin.

And so this collapse in agency and self-efficacy, it leads to self-loathing.

People begin to hate themselves and loathe themselves. They’re depressed, which is a form of internalized aggression. They become anxious and then they act out. If they’re weak or they’re mentally ill, they act out recklessly. They self-trash sexually in some other way. Substance abuse.
