The Three Biggest Casualties of (Gender) War

Every war has casualites, and the 7000 year long gender war (which we call "patriarchy" to make it sound nicer) is certainly no exception.  There are many such casualties, and the three biggest ones are as follows:
  1. The first casualty is TRUTH.  And that is not just a clichéd statement, but is practically axiomatic.  If people really knew the truth, the continuity of the war will be called into question.  So the truth is deliberately hidden and replaced with lies, half-truths, and omissions whenever possible.  Eventually it leads to a "post-truth" society and world, in which the truth becomes essentially irrelevant in what passes for discourse.
  2. The second casualty is INNOCENCE.  Not as a euphemism for ignorance (for which there is still plenty), but in the most general sense, which includes the capacity for trust.  And that is a result of the first casualty, truth. Not to mention all of the actual and horrific atrocities of the war itself as well.  This results in jadedness, bitterness, and cynicism, which in the case of the gender war seriously poisons the relationship between Women and men, and also vitiates what remains of the sisterhood between Women as well.
  3. The final casualty is LOVE.  And not just in the romantic sense, but in the most general sense to include all forms of love, all the way down to and including friendship.  In fact, friendship is probably the biggest casualty of all.  When both primary genders regard the other as being inherently dangerous/evil and needing to be controlled, that kinda precludes all but the most superficial and/or authoritarian relationships between the two.
Thus, the gender war, like all wars, ultimately hurts everyone and thus needs to end yesterday.  And the only way to end it (without the entire planet being killed) is for us fellas to, paraphrasing the late Emperor Hirohito, "accept the unacceptable" and surrender to Women.  The sooner we finally cap the game, the better.  So what are we waiting for?

  1. IN THE MIDDLE OF A LONG COMMENT MY POWER WENT OFF LAST NIGHT. STAYED OUT HALF THE NIGHT. I WILL CATCH UP TO THIS SOME TIME TODAY. THIS IS REMARKABLE, FANTASTIC INSIGHTS IT GOES ON MY BLOG, SITE & BOOK. GOOD WORK, GREAT THOUGHTS. PEOPLE WILL LEARN FROM THIS & WE ARE ESPECIALLY TARGETING WOMEN TO HELP THEM HEAL THEMSELVES, STEP UP TO THE PLATE & TAKE OVER THE FAMILY & WORLD. THEY NEED INCENTIVES, THEY NEED UNDERSTANDING, FACTS, RESEARCH & INSIGHTS. & THIS IS THAT.
