>>93207467True - hell, we've see that envy expressed by thirdworlders in this very thread on a near daily basis. That isn't even to mention the modern phenomenon of mass male alienation with the rise of egalitarianism and "longhouse culture", the state of utter loneliness many atomized Western and East Asian men feel that most women couldn't even begin to comprehend, the recent plague of trannies wanting to become "women"... and on and on.
That said, I hope this woman didn't honestly believe that there wasn't a significant cohort of the female population (mainly the spiteful mutant cohort) that did indeed envy men. Even if Freud's proposed theory for *why* they felt that way was... questionable
Jewish. Hell, that envy was one of the primary driving forces that has shaped our cultural zeitgeist from the 1960s onwards, and its consequences are fucking *everywhere*.
Ultimately, neither of these things exist except in a severe ecological mismatch. Healthy men in a healthy society don't resent having to earn their place, because they're just doing the thing they're built to do. Likewise, healthy women don't begrudge lacking physical or political power compared to men, because they know they wouldn't like and couldn't handle the demands and responsibilities that come with it (publications from anti-suffragist womens' groups around the turn of the 20th century say precisely this, denouncing those who demanded womens' enfranchisement as "Bolsheviks". It's really eye-opening). It would be like us envying a fish for spending its whole life in the water - why would we want that if it means we'd drown?
That's the tragedy of egalitarian ideology. It tricks us into seeing the enforcement of cultural norms which are ergonomic to our nature as "oppressive". And the logical consequence of that is to destroy the civilization in which we would have felt at home, and to transform the complementary differences between the sexes from something we find mutually mystifying, endearing and cute, into a reason to hate ourselves and each other.
This is something which keeps me up at night.
>>93207589I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this, chumbie. Truly we are in the New Weimar Republic.
Carlyle and Spengler were right - time is cyclical, and there is nothing new under the sun... but like you say, that's a conversation for another thread.
