Venus in Furs: Masochism as a worldview.

Standard

I recently listened to the recently released Matt Forney After Hours – Down on Your Bended Knee.

It is about Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, the writer of the novel “Venus in Furs” which details the sexual perversion that later went on to become “masochism”.

If you are a man or a boy – particularly someone who is a product of a single-parent household – you need to listen to this podcast.  It is vitally important to understand this dysfunction in the relationship between men and women.

A couple days after listening to this podcast, I was given a horrific realization that this model of relationship is the only path which single mothers drive their sons towards.  Without the example of the negotiations between husband and wife to follow, sons see supplicating to women as the only way in which to please women.  A great fallacy which is often repeated writ large in society – obey the will of women at all costs.

Women on the whole do not respect men who give them everything they want.  Just look at my previous entry on The sad tale of Alexander Pettersson.

Society is about creating an entire under-class of male individuals (these aren’t men) who are masochists. All the while, women and the men of power whip you, stand on your neck and laugh at you for falling for the game they made you play.

When the novel is read properly, this book was never about lionizing this fetish, it was a warning against it.  Severin, the main protagonist in the novel “Venus in Furs”, in all respects becomes a Sadist after becoming disgusted in the way he used to supplicate to the will of women.

The time-delay fuse on this podcast’s reaction in me was an eye-opener.  As the realization above hit me I got really, really angry.  Mostly because I could see myself as Severin, someone who used to toady to try to get affection from women.  This was a strange form of anger.  Not a little angry, but to a level that could justify murder.  Was this realization how Serial Killers justify their killings?

C.S Lewis rightly said that “Satan always sends errors in pairs”. Where Masochism is bad, some men compensate by becoming Sadists in response.   I recognized that I could not trust this anger within me.  It was never “me” to being with.

I will take on what I have learned from this.  Understand that this is the world made by Single Mother Families – a world divided by the polarization caused by this lack of positive masculinity.

Value yourselves guys, above what society and women say you are worth.

Scapegoating: Why do we do it?

Standard

I recently watched a video from Dianna Davidson about the silence around the abuse case of Andray Domise.

After watching this, I had to pose a few questions about humanity in general, specifically our need to scapegoat and turn people into social-pariahs.

There is no quarter given, no nuance accepted for the human scapegoat, the social-pariah. No grievance too small to prevent you from being hoisted up to be sacrificed on the altar of social justice.
The need to create human scapegoats and social-pariahs fascinates me. History is replete with examples of the same thing, happening over and over again. There is no social “progress” while humans act this way. The echoes of this barbarism reverberate with us still today.
Why do we instantly reject the civilizing practice of the universal application of justice? Does this speak of a darker, sinister need that resides in the hearts of all people? Is this the flip side of the coin of our desire to feel accepted and included into human groups?

The Social Mechanism of Bastardry

Standard

Having been born in the 70’s, outside of wedlock to a Catholic Father and a Presbyterian Mother,  the rather tender subject of being a “bastard” comes up. Back in the day, most people still attended churches and being part of the community and the social fabric was very important to most people.

“Bastard” is a word that still is an insult, but does not carry its former sting in this modern age, but why?

It is a legal term to denote a child born out of legal wedlock and thus outside the path of inheritance from the Father.  But it was also used a lot in Christian circles too, particularly within the Catholic Church.   If my mother is to be believed,  my father had me and my twin brother declared as “bastards” in the eyes of the Catholic Church.  But my mother said many other disparaging things about my father too, so I am inclined to take that with a grain of salt.

In the 70’s it was still a social Taboo for a woman to have children out of wedlock.  It has only been in the intervening years that it has become socially acceptable for women to take this course of action.  Branding a child as being illegitimate has lost its deadly intent.  If 30 – 40% of all boys are not in line for any inheritance, it fails to become an insult to be used to socially injure and exclude, especially when they become a social demographic.

In past days it was a real social slur to call someone “illegitimate”.  Take a listen to this song from the 60’s:

There were serious consequences for people bringing children into this world outside of the protection of marriage before the 70’s.  And it is only now in this modern age that we see how bad the outcomes for boys from single mother homes actually are.  There are real, quantifiable implications for boys raised in an environment without a supporting father in the picture.

Something more sinister is actually happening, though.  We are de-emphasizing the importance of male lineage, male inheritance and male continuance.

Should these things be unimportant? I say they are vitally important! Our fathers and our forefathers are the chains on which males can hold fast to the anchoring identity of being “men”.  Women have deliberately cut the chains to the very anchors that boys need to secure their identity as men.

No wonder why boys from single mother homes feel so adrift!  Why boys are so eager to do everything that “Mummy” says, and believe everything that “Mummy” states.

They don’t know where they came from, ergo, they don’t know who they are!

The War between Women

Standard

From the moment she wakes up, a woman is at war!

I know this sounds hard to believe, but hear me out on this.

Women are constantly fighting with one another for social dominance. As we have built this modern world, giving women more and more free time, more safety and less risks from health and environment issues we have also given them the flexibility to slip into “herd” mode.

And in any herd, there is the inevitable ladder of heirarchy – the pecking order –  being constantly fought over.  For men, our weapons are linked to our strengths and we fight physically for superiority. For women, they use other weapons,  they use materialism as their main tool for superiority.

This materialism actually plays a large part in their Pre-Approval mechanism (I know it is a “Game” term but it is relevant.).  Take men who buy $400 shoes, the Rolex Watch, the Imported Car.  Their chances of success with women is increased over the man who has the cheap $40 shoes, the Seiko Watch and the second-hand Domestic Car.  This Pre-Approval isn’t just applied to men, it is applied to women as well.  A womans material wealth plays a large part in their social standing.

Pre-Approval has always  been molded by the environment around women.  In the past, women were part of the community, they knew most of the people in their own community, and they were known as well.  Women saw that struggles of life were a normal part of being in a real relationship. Good Homes, well-adjusted and achieving kids, these were earned by leaner times when Marriages were new. Now in this modern age, real community is practically dead.  What replaced it was the Modern Media.  And the Modern Media has focused women onto the Material exclusively.  That is the whole point of Advertising, right?  Make people miserable unless they purchase their product.   The situations and people in the dramas and reality shows that women enjoy, seem to show the women in the fulfillment of their material (and social) needs merely from being on these shows, or just for existing.

These shows condition women into needing these material things for Social Acceptance and to Socially Accept.  Inclusion and Exclusion hang in the balance of possessions.

Like in any war, the real winners aren’t the people who fight the wars.  It is the people who finance and produce the weapons used in such outbreaks of violence. Keynesian Consummerism needs women to keep on “fighting the good fight” on behalf of the Economy, and Prosperity and Jobs. What is left after the woman has proudly paraded her new Handbag in front of her GalPals is the animosities and jealousies which continue of smolder and burn after the new item is displayed. This leads the victims of this Material Violence to plot and buy the weapons needed for their counter-thrust at their mortal foes.

What of Men? You are there to further her war against ALL of womanhood.  You will be used like a beast of burden and slaughtered to achieve her goal of Social Superiority.  You are secondary to any concern that she might have.  Their battles will consume you like ammunition.  Society is now set up to ensure the spent cartridges are swept up and put out of way so they aren’t tripped on by the female combatants in the continuing Consumer War.
