Why Men Are The Submissive Sex

By William Bond

(Comments by Rasa Von Werder and Ajax the Great)

     We have been told for thousands of years, that men are the natural dominant sex and Women are naturally submissive.  And this is confirmed by the fact that men dominate every government in the world.  Even today, we still have only a minority of female politicians and a very small minority of female leaders of countries.  The same is also true in business, law and religion, Women, are in the minority anywhere, wherever there is power, wealth and status.

            {Rasa says:  Yes but they don’t tell you WHY:  Women were subdued through violence, intimidation & unjust laws.  The Romans subdued the Greeks, which were a superior culture, through war, the Greeks became their servants.  Doesn’t mean the Greeks were NATURALLY SUBMISSIVE to them}  

 {Ajax says:  Excellent analogy}

If we look back in recorded history the situation is even worse.  Very few Women have ever achieved power.  We can think of a few Women like Cleopatra, Elizabeth 1 and Catherine the Great but the vast majority of rulers have been men.  And if we go back before recorded history we are told that men were even more dominant.  The caveman, we are told, was an aggressive brute who dominated cavewoman through extreme violence.  So the picture we are given, is that man, always has and always will, dominate Women. 

            {Rasa says:  We are told, but they weren’t.} 

It is true that Feminism claims that men and Women are equal and the same, but this claim doesn’t square with the facts.  There has never been a time in recorded history where men and Women have been equal, and Feminism can only point to a few stone-age tribes where this might have happened.  So with all this overwhelming evident that seems to prove that man is the dominant sex, how is it possible to claim that man is the natural submissive sex?  The reason is, is that man’s natural submissiveness is the reason why alpha men rule our world.

            {Rasa says:  If armies rebelled against their Generals, where would the armies be?  They have to obey or else get jailed.  They have even obeyed in history, against logic & better judgment, entering into death.  But if they don’t obey they are court marshaled, in time of war, they are considered traitors & shot.  So what choice do they have?  And women, when they disobey the rules of Patriarchs, are ostracized, marginalized & forced to be unwelcome members of society.  When men rules, others have no CHOICE, if they disobey, they suffer consequences.}

Throughout most of history there have always been powerful warlords, kings and emperors whom gained power through violence and warfare.  The origins of all countries and empires have been through warlords who have conquered other people and ruled over them.  Much is written about successful generals like Alexander the Great, Hannibal, Julius Caesar, Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan and Napoleon, but not a lot is written about the ordinary soldier who fought for these successful generals.  

Whenever the military talks about attributes of being a successful soldier, what is put at the top of the list, is always discipline.  A successful general has to know that whenever he gives an order, he has to have instant and unquestioning obedience.  Successful generals have to be able to use their men like pawns on a chessboard, and will willing sacrifice the lives of thousands of them, to gain a tactical or strategic advantage.  
An example of this was in the Zulu wars between the Zulus and the British in the 19th century.  Chief Shaka, to demonstrate to a visiting dignitary, how his men were so obedient, ordered a troop to march over a cliff to their deaths.  Then the Zulus won the first battle with the British, in the Battle of Isandlwana.  It was only the discipline of the Zulu warriors that made this possible.  Although they were only armed with spears, they continued to attack British troops armed with modern rifles, until they finally overwhelmed them.  The Zulus finally lost the war when they simply ran out of men.

            {Rasa says:  Wars of aggression *not defense*, by their nature are dishonorable & immoral.  They go to take what another has – their territory, riches & resources, including in many cases, their women.  These types of wars are NOT OF GOD.  And wars, being a basis of Patriarchy, show that at its foundation, Patriarchy is unethical, immoral & sinful.  It is DEMONIC.} 

 {Ajax says:  And that includes the many modern wars of aggression that are often disguised as "humanitarian" wars or "policing the world" as well.  Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and so on come to mind.  Imperialism is still imperialism, regardless of the flimsy pretext.}

In the 20th century, with the invention of the machine gun, war has become even more deadly.  In the First World War it is claimed that the ordinary soldiers were, “lions lead by donkeys”.  This was because all the generals in the conflict didn’t know how to fight a war with modern weapons like machine guns, modern artillery and poison gas and so millions of lives were sacrificed needlessly, for very little gain.  Yet, in spite of this, the ordinary solder still obeyed orders to come out of the trenches and face near certain death, in the face of enemy machine gun fire.  In the Second World War the Japanese took things even further by ordering their airmen to crash their planes into enemy ships in Kamikaze attacks.  In more recent times many guerrilla groups like the Tamil Tiger in Sri Lanka and many Islamic terrorist groups use suicide bombers.

            {Rasa says:  the Kamikazees were told if they returned, their lives wouldn’t mean anything.  They would be a disgrace to their country & families – they would be ostracized or maybe even shot as traitors.  It’s not like the VOLUNTEERED to do as they did.

And of course the suicide bombers are told when they die Allah will give them 72 virgins in Heaven.  One bomber put a metal plate around his penis so it would be intact when he got there.  These people are driven insane.} 

This means that if you can train a man to risk his life or even commit suicide when ordered to do so, suggests that men are very submissive.  Yes, it is true that Women suicide bombers have also been used, but Women suicide bombers haven’t been so successful.  In the Palestinian conflict there are a large numbers of Women in Israel jails whom were sent out to be suicide bombers, but couldn’t go through with it.  Unlike men, Women have the sense, to see the stupidity of what they are being pressurized into doing.

It is men’s complete obedience to authority that has paradoxically makes him the dominant sex.  The Feminists once had a slogan that, “the sisterhood is powerful”, unfortunately this hasn’t been the case.  Women have totally failed to create a powerful sisterhood.  It can be also said that men haven’t produced a powerful brotherhood either, but they have done the next best thing.  Men’s total obedience to authority allows alpha men to gain great power, by being able to mobilize large numbers of men, to do as they are told.

            {Rasa says:  But there is a brotherhood, even the demons in Hell have one – so I am told by Saints.  They are all evil, but they agree on strategy to destroy the human race.  Men are also bribed to believe that when they push women around they will gain great benefits - & of course they do – temporarily.  “The kingdoms of the world & their glory” are gained through demonic means but “What profit a man if he gain the whole world but loses his soul for what will he exchange for his soul?”}

 {Ajax says:  Very true indeed}

A despotic dictator has great power over the people because he has an army of young men, whom if ordered to beat up, murder, rape or even torture any member of the public, will obey without question.  This means that the average man is not either very dominant or bossy but very submissive, because it is men’s very submissive behaviour in obeying those in authority, that keeps the whole patriarchal society going.

            {Rasa says:  Stalin was fantasizing about creating men who would not think or feel, just obey.  Human men have in many cases, already become that.  They could not do the atrocities that they do – especially in war – if they had any feelings or logic.} 

The problem is that if you ask any man, “are you submissive?” he will deny it completely.  This is because men all over the world have been trained to think of themselves as dominant.  Or at least dominant as far as Women are concerned.  And the men who would most likely to strongly deny their submissive behaviour, would be soldiers.  After all soldiers do have a very strong machismo image, and to suggest they are submissive, would be like suggesting that they are wimps.  And if you pointed out that soldiers would always obey orders without question, he would claim it is discipline, and not submissiveness.

            {Rasa says:  Lol. We go through that as Mistresses of female ‘domination’.  They give us a script how to make them obey, how to hurt & torture them, how to force them to do things they don’t want to do.  They get off on the fantasy, but I am here to tell you, when reality sets in they cringe, cry, beg us to stop, they even shed tears if we do anything that hurts.  Their ‘machismo’ is not how much they can take – its’ how little they care about others, & sadly, this happens with the ones who are weaker, smaller & vulnerable - those they can beat up on.  There are cases so horrible I can hardly repeat them.  One young male obtained dogs to his motel room, & tortured them for days.  He bought a little Chihuahua which he told the owner was for his ailing Mom.  To prevent him running away he cut off his legs, then tortured him some more.  Luckily he was caught & given a harsh sentence.  But most men who torture the vulnerable including babies & children are never caught or punished.}

{Ajax says:  DEMONIC}

Yet whether a person is disciplined or submissive, the result is exactly the same, both types of people, do as they are told.  The only difference is perception.  So although macho soldiers are not a sort of people we normally associate with submissive behaviour, the reality is, is that their extreme obedience to authority, where they will risk their lives or even commit suicide, when ordered to do so, does make them very, very submissive.

            {Rasa says:  It does begin with ECONOMIC SLAVERY where most men who have money would not voluntarily sign up to have their rights taken away, & if he disobeys, the brig or get shot.  Men who have no jobs, nowhere to go to get support, are the ones who sign up.  And who creates poverty?  Patriarchs.  It’s all part of their system. 

The same goes for women.  Most women would not marry the men they do unless they desired support.  Had women not been impoverished by unjust laws, many would live their lives free of undesirable men.  They would either live single & happy, go out with whom they want, or marry a different type of guy – even a poor guy – who appeals to them.  But they marry old, ugly, mean, exploitative guys because of their money.}

The same is also true in the civilian world.  Feminists have already observed how the whole patriarchal society is a hierarchical system.  Most men like to claim that they only obey their boss at work, because he pays the wages.  Yet, even though men may moan and complain about their bosses, or the politicians, or anyone else in authority over him, men on the whole, do as they are told.  And this instinctive obedience by men is the foundation of patriarchy, if men didn’t instinctively obey those he considered to be in authority over him, then the whole patriarchal system would collapse. 

This then is the basis of political power.  Because men do instinctively obey those in authority, then political power comes from being perceived by the population, as the alpha male.  If we look at the patriarchal society as a whole, then men look up to and even sometimes hero worship those in he perceives as being above him in the pecking order, and will ruthlessly exploit those he perceives as being below him.  In all patriarchal countries nearly all the wealth and power of a country are in the hands of a few alpha men and the rest are poor and powerless. 

{Ajax says:  Patriarchy is the world's oldest and largest pyramid scheme, Ponzi scheme, and protection racket}

This is true for even a modern Western country like the USA, the top 1 % of the population owned 34% of the country’s wealth. Also, the top 20% of the population owned 85% of the wealth of the country.  Leaving only 15% of the wealth for the bottom 80% of people.  In poorer third world countries these figures would be even worse, where there is an enormous gap between rich and poor.  Yet in spite of the fact this causes great resentment in men all over the world, revolutions do not happen very often and as we have seen throughout history, revolution doesn’t solve the problem either.  The new rulers end up behaving as badly, or even worse, than the leaders they have replaced.

            {Rasa says:  Revolutions don’t work because so far, all of them were run by men or even where, I am told, fishwives started the French Revolution but as soon as it took hold, wasn’t it Robespierre who ruled?

            “The three main leaders of the French Revolution for the rebels were Georges-Jacques Danton, Jean-Paul Marat, and Maximilien Robespierre. The first, Georges-Jacques Danton was very involved in different powerful groups in France.”

            My point is, every institution, Religion, Church, Government, which is run by men – every venue run by men anytime, any place, becomes corrupt.  Why?  Their natural instinct when ruled by other men – instead of being obedient to women – runs AMUCK.  Their instinct is one of selfishness, not the self-lessness maternal instinct.}

 {Ajax says:  Men as a class have the reverse Midas touch.  Everything they touch turns to crap, basically.  Robespierre was one of many examples of  "out of the frying pan, into the fire"}

To make society function smoothly, we are all taught obedience from a very early age.  Children are expected to be obedient to their parents and then later to their teachers at school.  The paradox is that as boys learn to play macho games in sport, the more he is taught to become obedient.  All team sports need the players to do exactly what their coach tells them, to become a winning team.  This is also true of individual sports as well, where most sports coaches act like sergeant majors on a parade ground.

            {Rasa says:  I joined the ‘adult sports’ at our local high school – the basketball, which I love.  The men would not pass me the ball, they would not make me the ‘team captain.’  One time I did push to get voted captain, & we won the game.  But they resented me, a woman leading, so they ousted me, & with a male at the helm we lost.  But they would not admit I was the better leader.}

So boys from an early age are given two contrary messages.  The first message is that men have to be very strong and macho and be willing to ‘stand up for themselves’.  Yet at the same time they are taught to obey those in authority without question.  No wonder teenage boys when they grow old enough to think for themselves, become very confused.  As clearly both messages are in contradiction to each other, and so it encourages schizophrenic type of behaviour. 

 {Ajax says:  You can say that again!}

So obedience and passivity is part of the human condition, but how boys and girls react to this is very different.  Scientific studies done on children show a distinct difference in how boys and girls react when given a project to do.  For boys they first have to elect a leader, who tells the rest of them what to do, but if they cannot do this, then nothing gets done, as they continue to argue among themselves.  This is not true for girls, who are far better communicators and can discuss among themselves what needs to be done, with far less conflict and so can work together without a leader.

            {Rasa says:  My brother & I, he being 3 years older, played a dozen sports together & I won more than he did.  But when he got to be 14 & developed testosterone, he beat me up badly out of resentment.  This is the ‘natural’ instinctive reaction of a male – they can’t stand being humiliated, they lash out.  Not as strong of an instinct for women.  Most women’s murders happen when they reject a man, tell him they’re leaving.  Rejection is humiliation.}

{Ajax says:  Masculinity is very fragile indeed.}

We can see this throughout the patriarchal society where leadership is all-important.  In business, under good leadership a company can thrive, but under bad leadership a company will quickly go broke.  

The same is true for political leaders a bad leader can destroy a country as we see in the case of Robert Mugabe the leader of Zimbabwe, he is a terrible leader, but the people are still helpless in the face of this power and seem to be unable to replace him.  It is very true in war.  For instance Napoleon won every battle he ever fought in, until the battle of Waterloo, where he lost to another general that also had an unbeaten record.  The French army has never been so successful before Napoleon or after him.  It was his leadership that made all the difference.  In these situations the common soldier feels totally powerless, because he is totally reliant on the leadership of the army whether they will be successful. 

Another instance of the common man’s feeling of helplessness is the 1929 Wall St crash that caused a worldwide Depression, the common people had no say in the decisions that caused the crash, but it was they who suffered the consequences.  During the cold war the USSR and USA had thousands of nuclear weapons aimed at each just waiting for someone to ‘press the button’, that would wipe out humanity.  The general public were very frightened of this situation, but were helpless to stop it going on.  The cold war only ended with the economic collapse of the USSR, who couldn’t keep up with the USA in producing more advanced weapons.  It didn’t end with both sides seeing the stupidity of what they were doing.

            {Rasa says:  The Cold War was ended by the prayers of the people, in obedience to Our Lady of Fatima, who said ‘Pray the Rosary for the Conversion of Russia or nations will be annihilated.’  It was me who gave the speech in front of the White house on June 16, 1978.  I explain my case of the events following this on my site:

{Ajax says:  We sure could use an encore of that now, given current events!}

What is very clear, is that to be able to work together collectively, men need to have a leader.  Unfortunately if the leader happens to be an idiot, then the whole group is in trouble.  In the past there have been cases of kings who have become insane like Ivan the Terrible of Russia, yet in spite of his insanity he was still allowed to rule.  It seems men will still faithfully obey their leader even though they know he is mad.

Therefore political power comes from being in control over the majority of passive men.  About five thousand years ago alpha men learn to control men through violence, a small group of violent men were able to dominate a far larger group of less violent men.  Today they would be seen as a gang of organized criminals, or bandits.  These bandits then recruited more men from the general population to be part of their gang and so the leader became a warlord who used his power to conquer other areas around him.  In time these warlords became kings, pharaohs or emperors, where they ruled whole countries or empires and to ensure that the people respect them, they set themselves up as gods.

            {Rasa says:  Patriarchy is the lunatics running the asylum.} 

{Ajax says:  That's patriarchy in a nutshell, pun intended.}

Back in the Neolithic times archaeologists have discovered a lot of evidence to suggest that Women ruled these early civilizations, but the trouble is that many people find this hard to believe. After all, throughout history we have been used to brutal alpha males who have ruled countries by force and violence.  The problem is that what archaeologists have discovered is that warfare was unknown back in the first Neolithic civilizations.  When they excavated ancient cities like Catal Höyük in Turkey and Caral in Peru, or the Neolithic civilizations of Malta, Crete, Eastern Europe, Japan, China and the Indus Valley civilization in Pakistan, they couldn’t find any weapons of war. Not only that, they couldn’t find any skeletons showing any signs of violence, nor could they find any carved images of war and violence and any fortification protecting the towns and cities.  Whereas the evidence of war and violence was overwhelming in later Bronze and Iron age excavations.  With thousands of weapons of war being discovered, skeletons in graves showing signs of damage by swords, axes, spears and clubs, with very strong fortifications around all towns and cities, and carvings on walls of wars, acts of violence and torture. 

So how was it that all over the world civilisations could live in peace and harmony for thousands of years, but then suddenly these peaceful civilizations were swept away and replaced by extremely violent empires?  The theory put forward by the archaeologist Marija Gimbutas, was that warlike patriarchal tribes from the North conquered these peaceful Matriarchal civilisations.  Now, this makes sense of how some of these Neolithic civilisations were destroyed but it doesn’t explain where these patriarchal tribes came from, and why they suddenly turn to war and violence.  

            {Rasa says:  My interview with a lady who did work similar to Marija Gimbutas in recent times.  I saw her on PBS, contacted her & we spoke by phone for 2.5 hours – I typed it all out.  She goes into the Amazons & beginning of Patriarchy – Dr. Jeannine Davis Kimball:  http://www.womanthouartgod.com/daviskimball.php }

To explain this, some people have pointed out that the Sahara desert was once a wetter and greener place 6,000 years ago, and then is slowly began to dry up.  So it was suggested that the people living there faced years of starvation and it was this starvation that turn these people into warlike monsters that went out and conquered the world. 

I personally think this is a terrible idea.  First of all, the Sahara didn’t become desert overnight.  Yes, things would be tough if the rains didn’t come for a few years and many people would starve to death.  But this is not unusual, and situations like this have happened all over the world, throughout history.  In this situation with the fertile lands turning to desert, the people will start to move out of the area.  After all it has taken thousands of years for the Sahara region to become desert it is today.  The process is still going on today, as the Sahara desert is still moving south.  So it means that the people living there had time to adapt or move. 

Also, I am not sure that starvation does turn people into monsters.  Yes, starvation does stress out the whole community but in modern times charity workers that go into famine areas find the biggest problem, are people becoming lethargic.  Many of them lose all hope and sit down to die, just waiting and hoping things with change for the better.  Yes, some people will fight for life but not necessary will fight other people.  Human beings do have brains and they are more likely to use them to find alternative sources of food.  After all, humans are ingenious enough to even find food or water in a desert, as we can see with the present inhabitants of the Sahara Desert and with the Australian Aboriginal.  It is true patriarchal societies tribes in times of famine do fight each other and steal each other’s food, but I don’t think Matriarchal tribes would do this and would be more likely to help each other out of a difficult situation.  

Why Matriarchy was overthrown is open to speculation but in my opinion this may have come about because of Women’s complacency.  Because men are so passive, Women may have taken their obedience for granted and perhaps tried to give men equality.  As the result they were no longer telling men what to do.  This created a power vacuum, where men looked around for someone, anyone, to tell them what to do, and alpha men then took over the dominance of men and filled this power vacuum.

            {Rasa says:  In my opinion, males became the way they are over evolution of thousands of years.  When women chose men that were more ‘masculine’ over many years, they became more ‘zombie-like’ – without compassion or caring, like machines.  And these machines, then, no longer caring or having any soft feelings, turned on their masters – the women, & formed their own brotherhood of foul play.  This I believe is portrayed in the ‘Lucifer to Satan’ myth, where he turned against God & said ‘I will not obey!  And a THIRD of the ‘angels’ went with him.  This indicates a third of the human men followed the EVIL SPIRIT.  At least two thirds of them did not.} 

The concept of a power vacuum comes from patriarchal politics, where if there isn’t a strong leader ruling a country, then this creates a power vacuum and someone like a warlord ends up taking over.  This has happened in recent time in Somalia, with the collapse of its government in 1991, no other political group has been powerful enough to take power.  This has resulted is that the country is being controlled by competing warlords. 

A power vacuum only comes about because men are so submissive they need someone to tell them what to do.  So if no one is doing this, then it is open to anyone to adopt the alpha role and take power.  Because men are so submissive and were so obedient to Women, many Women got the idea that men were not a threat to them.  And because Women in general are fair-minded, some of them began to feel it was unfair that men were second-class citizens, and decided to give men equality. 

There is some archaeological evidence for this.  Towards the end of the Neolithic age were previously archaeologists had found only images of Goddesses, then suddenly there appeared Goddesses with sons.  They at first were infant sons but then it seems the sons grew up and become the Goddess’s brother or lover.  So these images suggested strongly that men and Women are equal. This might sound very sensible and reasonable, but men didn’t know what to do with their newfound freedom and were still looking around for someone to tell them what to do, and this created a power vacuum.

            {Rasa says:  Which came first, the cart or the horse, the chicken or the egg?  I think over thousands of years males became less & less empathetic until they thought they were ‘as great’ as women & said, ‘I will not serve’ as in the Lucifer to Satan myth, & there, sent to their own Hell of Patriarchy, where Satan & his men/demons have been trying to drag the rest of humanity ever since.}

If Women were not telling men what to do, then men looked within their own sex for a leader, so these alpha men filled the power vacuum left by Women.  Yet even then Women may not have done anything about this, they didn’t see the danger signs and let things progress.  They at first may have found it convenient that instead of telling a lot of men individually what to do, they just tell the alpha male what to do and he would organize everything for them.  And so it wasn’t a problem while these alpha males were still subordinate to Women.  It only became a problem when the alpha males decided they wanted to rule Women in the same way they were ruling other men. 

What many Women don’t understand about men is that equality is an alien concept to the masculine mind. If we look at male animals like stags, bulls or lions the males fight each other for dominance and the strongest male gets to mate with all the females.  There is no concept of equality, you are either a winner or loser, and the winner takes it all and the loser gets nothing. We can see the same in competitive sports which men really like, there has to be a winner or loser.  The same is true in war, with each side fighting to win, and it is also true of the patriarchal society, which is organized as a hierarchical structure.  Even when men set out with the purpose of creating an equal society like with communism and socialism they completely failed. 

            {Rasa:  I like this theory.  Equality works with children, like you don’t give more to one child than another of food or work or freedom, you try to make it equal according to their needs.  Like a little tyke can carry a small bucket of water to the barn while a teen carries a big bucket, but each carries a bucket according to their strength & each gets the same amount of food to what their stomach can hold.  But between men & women I agree, the woman is the Mother & therefore, she rules.  A woman’s brain is so vastly different than a man’s, she is born to rule, he isn’t.  He can’t even think straight.}

So if men were not allowed to be subordinate to Women, because Women were claiming that man and Women were equal, then because the masculine mind didn’t understand equality, the only other option men had, was to dominate Women.  And they learnt they could do this through violence. After all, men being bigger and stronger than Women, always had the advantage in violent situations.  The problem alpha men had, was that normal men didn’t want to do this, so they had started a propaganda campaign to convince men that Women were inferior to them.  So by becoming convinced, through clever propaganda that Women were after all inferior to themselves, men no longer had any qualms about using violence against Women.  Starting a worldwide revolution where men have been dominating Women through violence ever since.

            {Dr. Daniel Amen did 70k scans on the brains of men & women & he said, on the Dr. Oz show that men think with their primitive {back} brain & can only think with one side of their brain at a time.  Their frontal lobes are asleep while the back part – the primitive – part of the brain is active.  And they have few connections with the corpus collasum network.  So we are talking primitive vs. civilized brain – the women’s brains were awake both front & back with many connections.  So now this BEAST dominates women & children?}

{Ajax says:  It's no wonder us fellas are generally not very good at multitasking.  It's kinda hard when we only use at most half of our brains at a time, lol.  Ditto for our tendency for linear thinking as well, as opposed to nonlinear or spiral thinking.  As the late Monica Sjoo once said, we take all the natural spirals and forcibly bend them into straight lines.)

Once one Matriarchal community become patriarchal, then these new patriarchal men started conquering neighbouring Matriarchal tribes and civilizations.  The world didn’t become patriarchal overnight it is estimated that the first patriarchal tribe came into being about 6,000 years ago, but the last major country to become patriarchal was Japan, at about 300 BC.  Some areas of Matriarchy have clung on into fairly recent historic times.  Like the Basque people of Northern Spain and Southern France, the Czech people in modern day Czech Republic, the Berbers of the Sahara desert, the Gypsies and the Keralal people of India.  Some of Matriarchal communities have survived into modern times, like the The Minangkabau people in Western Sumatra, the Mosou people of China and the Hopi Indians of North America. 

Therefore men have a choice of being ruled by alpha men or by Women.  I am aware that Feminists who prefer sexual equality reject this concept but they have to accept that men are very different to Women.  Feminism makes no sense to men, because it is about sexual equality, all they want to know is where they stand in the pecking order.  So if they are told that Women are inferior to him he will exploit and abuse Women, and if he is told that Women are superior him he will obey Women and expect her to exploit him.

            {Rasa says:  The feminists were a BEGINNING, only asking for equality under the law, a first step.  They did not yet ask for Matriarchy, as that’s too far ahead.  But after feminism, comes female empowerment, female superiority & Matriarchy.  We wanted it in the first place, but we had to start with equality under the law.  Women did not tell men what they wanted in their hearts, what they knew was right – dominance over them.  If they did, they would have been taken for lunatics.  Even equality was met with violence.  Betty Freidan got a black eye from her husband before her first sit-in at the bar of the Plaza Hotel, NYC.}

This is what happened at the beginning of the patriarchal age.  Men were told they are equal to Women, but this made no sense to men.  So in the minds of men, if Women were no longer superior to them, then they had to be inferior.  Once men accepted this idea, then it made patriarchy possible, but in modern times, if men were told that this was wrong and Women are superior to men after all, then Matriarchy becomes possible once again. 

For this reason, in every patriarchal society, alpha men have seen Women as a threat to their power.  Even today in Islam they have the ‘honour’ system, where Women are beaten up or killed if they are ‘disrespectful’ or disobedient to men.  Social pressure has forced men to kill their wives, sisters and even mothers.  If Women were the natural submissive sex then there would be no reason for men to use extreme violence against Women to keep them submissive.  Women would simply do as they were told without violence and intimidation.  The fact that, Islamic society has to encourage men to beat up and even kill Women to make them obedient, suggests that Women are not naturally submissive.

            {Rasa says:  Humans are most violent to those they FEAR & men FEAR WOMEN THE MOST.  Example, I feed black bears in my friend’s cottage in PA.  They are not violent but powerful, & men fear them.  So once bears come around, they want to stop them, even kill them.  But I found they are wonderfully tame if you treat them with kindness – they just want to EAT.  Yes they can kill us, but they don’t want to.  But men want to KILL THEM because they FEAR THEM.}

It is like in slavery, the only reason why slaves where whipped, beaten and killed were because slaves resented being forced to work for no money.  So if violence is used to force anyone to obey, it means they are being forced to go against their natural behaviour.

            {Rasa says:  Good point.  You don’t have to force someone to do what they want to do.}

{Ajax says:  Indeed.}

What is less known is that they had a similar though not so extreme system in Western countries.  Up until the 20th century a husband was considered to be ‘unmanly’ if he couldn’t dominate his wife.  So men were encouraged to ‘control’ their wives through violence.  Also Women were denied education and not allowed to have any job or career that gave them power, wealth or status.   So the very fact that the patriarchal society has to actively oppress Women to ‘keep them under control’ means that submissiveness is not Women’s natural behaviour.

            {Rasa says:  They controlled us through unjust laws, like in marriage a woman’s property becomes the man’s, the property of a dead man goes to the eldest son, not the wife, women not allowed Higher Education with men, women denied jobs.  Women being denied jobs is a biggie.  Then they forced us to be dependent on men, a totally unnatural situation.} 

{Ajax says:  Patriarchy is a massive protection racket, and the world's oldest one too.}

Patriarchal propaganda likes to claim that man was always the dominant sex, and claims that in prehistoric times men were violent brutes who dominated Women even more then they did in historic times.  Yet, there is no proof of this whatsoever.  Scientists know nothing of the social structure of pre-historic people, but that doesn’t stop them speculating about it and then presenting these speculations to the public as scientific fact.

            {Rasa says:  Wishful thinking got written into history books.  Men are the heroes, then why are 98% of American prisoners men?} 

There is a lot of evidence from the large amount of Goddess statues discovered in prehistoric excavation that humans once held Women in very high esteem.  But this fact is not told to the general public.  What holds Women back from regaining power and dominance over men once more is patriarchal brainwashing that tells men and Women that men are the ‘natural’ dominant sex.  So that even today in the West, men still think they have to dominate their wives or they are not a ‘real’ man.  While many Women suppress their normal dominance over men, because they think it is ‘unnatural’ for Women to be bossy. 

            {Rasa says:  I explain in my books, ‘Old Woman – Young Man, Why They Belong Together’ how men are ridiculed & humiliated to act certain ways to women, like NOT being attracted to older women.  But in reality they are attracted to old women, especially when they are young.  And they want the security of the woman with experience & knowledge over them.}

{Ajax says:  Very true indeed.  Most younger men would love to have an older Woman as a "mentor with benefits", as it were.  But patriarchal society does everything they can to prevent that from happening, as that would be the beginning of the end for the system of patriarchy.}

The fact is, that the average man would be far better off living in a Matriarchy than the present patriarchal system. Simply because patriarchy doesn’t benefit the average man, it only benefits the very small minority of alpha men, who ruthlessly exploit the general population and do stupid things like start wars with other countries.  The average man would be far better off in a Matriarchy where the female rulers would care about the people they rule and wouldn’t be interested in fighting wars to settle disputes between countries. 

{Ajax says:  Patriarchy is a net negative-sum game for everyone but the oligarchs at the top.  Most men, at least 90-95% do NOT actually benefit on balance from patriarchy, and in fact suffer a net LOSS from it all.  It chews them up and spits them out.  Men would be far better off under Matriarchy instead, and contrary to popular opinion, they would still have individual civil rights and liberties.  (And if the Mosuo are any indication, better sex lives as well!)  So one way to get men to support Matriarchy, and thus surrender to Women, is to take a page from H.L. Mencken and NOT to appeal to their better nature, as they may not have one, but rather appeal to their self-interest, which they certainly have.}

So it means that we all, (both men and Women) need to see patriarchal propaganda for what it is, just propaganda.  It is vitally important that we question the way patriarchy brainwashes our children to act against their natural instincts, so men can accept their submissive behaviour without feeling ‘unmanly’, while Women can likewise accept that it is natural for them to dominate men. 

Academic Feminists, like Cynthia Eller, have been taken in completely by patriarchal propaganda, so they believe that if women were to demand Matriarchy or even a Goddess worshipping religion, men will react against them with violence.  Yet, if we look around the world, what we find is the opposite.  The greatest degree of violence against Women is in extreme patriarchal countries where Women have no legal rights whatsoever.  In Western countries where Women, legally at least have equal rights, is where there is far less violence against Women.  Men do not beat up Women who they think are above them in the pecking order, they only beat up Women who they see as below them. 

Men only beat up, rape and murder Women because they have been brainwashed into believing that Women are inferior to them and they have to inflict violence onto Women to retain their place in the pecking order.  It would certainly help to get rid of the ‘role models’ boys and men see on films or in video games of extremely violent ‘heroes’ and ‘villains’.  These films and video games give out, the not so subtle message, that, “you can solve all problems through violence” and that, “a ‘real’ man is a violent man”.

In particular, killology focuses on the reactions of healthy people in killing circumstances (such as police and military in combat) and the factors that enable and restrain killing in these situations.} 

This means that both Women and men are victims of patriarchal brainwashing, and the sooner we can get rid of it and stop it being fed to our children, the better off we all will be. 

{Rasa says:  Brainwashing is what?  A sort of HYPNOSIS where people believe a thing because they are told – true or not.  They start this in the womb.  And it isn’t easy – the TRUTH is within us by instinct, by logic & common sense, so they have to inculcate it on us day & night, on & on.  Men have to work hard at holding down both men & women & keep them from their natural instincts.}

Ajax says:  Very well-said, both of you.  The brainwashing required to keep this evil system going is indeed very insidious and has been going on for thousands of years in one form or another.  Some may think that censorship and "cancel culture" is the solution, but of course that does nothing to get to the root of the problem, which is too much censorship of viewpoints that contradict the patriarchal ideologies and dogmas.  The solution is thus to jam the culture with the opposite sort of messages, until patriarchy ultimately withers on the vine--and Women, the better half of humanity, ultimately reclaim their rightful place as the new leaders of the free world, God willing.

Happy May Day / Beltaine, Everyone!

Today, May 1, is May Day, also known as the Celtic and Neopagan holiday of Beltane.  It has a rather long history and symbolizes many things, but it is most notably a day to honor the Goddess, which includes the Goddess in every Woman.  Elephant Journal describes it rather nicely in their article a few years ago about the holiday:

Halfway between the Vernal Equinox and the Summer Solstice falls May Day—the original holiday of sex and abundance.  If you’ve ever wondered, as I used to, what the hype was around May Day—as in why I always heard about ‘May Day’ but never seemed to witness anyone actually celebrating, here’s why. It’s deeply rooted in pagan nature and hedonistic sex worship and celebrations. As Christianity spread and the Church extended its reach and control, these pagan and Divine worships of masculine and feminine equality had to be forgotten.  May 1st is Beltane in the Northern Hemisphere, the day we honor nature’s oldest love story.  And we all love a love story.   This is a holiday of union, between man and woman, God and Goddess—a celebration of the divine balance in the union of Divine masculine and feminine. Because once upon a time, the two were honored as sacred parts of the one Divine balance.

Indeed.  And among Neopagans today, Beltane is (usually) primarily about honoring the Divine Feminine, where as Samhain (October 31) is primarily about honoring the Divine Masculine.  Thus, I propose that we shift International Women's Day (currently March 8) to May 1, and shift International Men's Day (November 19, coinciding with World Toilet Day, lol) to November 1.  The latter, of course, should not be seen as a day to celebrate men, but rather as a day of atonement for the evil that men do, and have done for thousands of years now--a sort of all-male equivalent of the Jewish holy day Yom Kippur to essentially apologize to the Divine Feminine.  

Honestly, it's the least us fellas could do.

Another holiday I would like to propose is Waterloo Day, on April 30, the day before May Day.  That would symbolize the (hopefully) eventual surrender of men to Women, which I had once personally predicted will occur on April 30, 2030--the end of an error.  (Current events have made me far less sanguine about that prediction,  and it is most likely much farther away than 2030, at least 2040 or 2050.)  Just as that day symbolizes the end of the "darker half" of the year and the beginning of the "lighter half", so too shall it symbolize the end of the 7000 years of darkness known as patriarchy and the beginning of the new earthly paradise known as Matriarchy.  Note too that April 30, 1975 was also when the Vietnam War officially ended, and also in 1945 when a certain little painter from Austria did the world a huge favor by offing himself.  And the song "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath was originally going to be called "Walpurgisnacht", which is another name for May Eve, or April 30.  One idea for how to celebrate Waterloo Day would be for the men to get up on a platform or podium, give a concession speech as though stepping down from power, and have all the Women heckle and throw rotten tomatoes at them.  

It also happens to be International Worker's Day as well.  Workers of the world.....relax.

Rasa Von Werder's "Embodiment Of God" Site Is Back Online

Good news, everyone.  The legendary Guru Rasa von Werder's website Embodiment of God is now back online following the ultimate resolution of some prolonged technical difficulties.  All of her other sites (Kellie Everts and Woman Thou Art God) are also back online as well.  

And don't forget to check out Rasa and William's main blog, on which I am a contributing author as well.  Enjoy!

This International Men's Day, Make It A Day Of Atonement

In case you didn't know, November 19 is International Men's Day (which also happens to be World Toilet Day, interestingly enough).  As if we really needed a day to celebrate ourselves.  What International Men's Day should really be is a day of atonement, a sort of Yom Kippur for men.  And for those guys who arrogantly claim that they have literally nothing to atone for, prepare to eat some humble pie, and apologize to the Divine Feminine.  The following is food for thought:

So what has our gender collectively done for the past 7000 years or so?

We paved paradise and put up a parking lot, we created a desert and called it "peace".  We devoured and suffocated our own empire, the world is on fire, and now we are all paying a heavy price for it.  It's 14:59 of our proverbial 15 minutes of fame, and the clock is ticking.

All because we foolishly decided one day to depose Women from power because we thought we could somehow do better.  Well, we were wrong, dead wrong in fact.  We are sorry, but clearly we can stuff our "sorrys" in a sack at this point.  The agony of regret indeed.

Yes, I know, "not all men".  But the fact remains that the "good guys" among us have clearly and consistently failed to prevent the truly bad guys from subjugating, tyrannizing, raping, abusing, and degrading the better half of humanity (while also doing the very same thing to Mother Earth as well), and overall turning heaven on Earth into hell on Earth.

So how could heaven turn to hell?  You guessed it, it was us all along.  But one day the shadows will surround us, and the days will come to end.  And now we see clearly...

We both knew, it would always end this way...

(Bonus points for anyone who can find the hidden and not-so-hidden pop-culture references and lyrics to various songs contained throughout this apology to the Divine Feminine)

And just like you should never wish someone a "Happy Yom Kippur", as there is really nothing happy about atonement, we should probably avoid doing the same with International Men's Day as well.

The Future Is Female--And That Is A Very Good Thing

A recent article by conservative author Mona Charen is titled "The future is female--is that entirely a good thing?" and very predictably her answer is no.  In response to the latest news that men are abandoning higher education in record numbers while Women greatly outnumber them, and have been for a while now, she does not exactly seem to be the biggest fan despite the fact that such a trend bodes well for Women gaining the most leadership positions in the future.  Why?  

In a nutshell, she says:

Some might note this female preeminence and shout hurrah for feminism. But I’d keep the champagne corked, because, let’s face it, women like to marry men who are their equals or superiors in education and income, and if this trend of women vastly outperforming men in education continues, a fair proportion of women are not going to be able to find compatible men.

The article overall has so many fallacies, half-truths, and omissions, that I don't even know where to begin, but that particular passage is the very keystone of it all.  Last I checked, there is no law of nature that says that Women must marry men who earn as much or more than they do, or even that they must get married at all.  That, my friends, is a man-made law of patriarchy, not nature.  As for what follows in the article, using patriarchy to justify patriarchy to justify patriarchy is NOT a sound argument to justify patriarchy.  It is circular reasoning, and she clearly doesn't see the irony.

Same goes for the outmoded notion that "everybody must procreate" also seemingly implied as her argument begins to coast further, without which the later paragraphs of her article would also make zero sense as well even if one were to accept the original aforementioned pseudo-logic.

Are there some very real downsides to so many men abandoning higher education in droves?  Yes there are, mostly economic downsides, and she could have explored those effects better and how best to address them instead of veering dangerously into Phyllis Schlafly territory (who made essentially the same argument a few years ago before she passed away).  Let's face it, the 1950s are gone and are never coming back.  And trying to keep the patriarchy (or an idealized and romanticized version of it) artificially propped up because reasons is an exercise in futility.

The Future Is Female.  And that is a very good thing overall.  And as John Mellencamp and India Arie once famously sang, "if you're not part of the future, then get out of the way!"

Roe v. Wade Has Effectively Been Gutted--Now What?

Well, it actually happened:  the landmark Roe v. Wade decision has been effectively gutted when the US Supreme Court refused to block the new Texas abortion ban that is the strictest in the nation.  The new law bans all abortions without exception after even the slightest semblance of a "heartbeat" is detected, typically at six weeks gestation or even earlier.  It even puts a $10,000 "bounty" on not only abortion providers themselves, but also anyone who is "aiding and abetting" them.  And now forced-birther Republicans other states are looking to follow suit as well.  That is, Women's hard-won reproductive rights are now in grave danger, and this goes WAY beyond abortion.  Undoubtedly, birth control and things like that will be next on the chopping block, and so on, and thus we are just a few steps away from Margaret Atwood's worst nightmare.

Add to this the fact that the recent lockdown-induced "recession" (more like depression) has actually hit Women harder than men and set back Women's progress by decades by dumping even more unpaid work on them at home, and the future looks even worse still.

Democrats in Congress are looking to pass a bill that would codify Roe v. Wade into federal law, superseding the abortion bans in Texas and any other state that attempts such bans.  But alas, success in that regard is far from guaranteed.

Horrible and ghastly as the overall prospect is, there is perhaps a silver lining, namely that it may spur Women to go on a Lysistrata-style sex strike.  This may be the final straw, and such a strike may be enough for Women to actually take over for good.  That is, what would otherwise take decades at best would be accelerated in a matter of weeks or months, Goddess willing.  Perhaps that is why She is allowing all of this parade of horribles to happen at all?

Of course, a sex strike is a short-term tactic, not a long-term strategy.  For the ultimate kill switch on how really smash the patriarchy for good in the long term please see a previous article here.  And interestingly, the late 19th century feminist Victoria Woodhull would have in fact supported both.

To be clear, I don't think any real feminists actually LIKE the practice of abortion.  It is in fact an unfortunate side effect of the patriarchy, as it is the patriarchy itself that effectively makes nearly all abortions necessary in the first place despite that very same patriarchy's pharisaical and hypocritical attempts to ban and restrict the practice.  In a future Matriarchal society, there would be very, very few abortions occurring even with no restrictions at all, as pregnancies would no longer be forced on Women and poverty would be effectively eradicated, thus eliminating the two biggest incentives for abortion.  But it is crystal clear that banning or unduly restricting abortion does far more harm than good on balance, as that only reduces the number of safe and legal abortions (for the non-rich).  Unsafe and illegal abortions would continue regardless.  So the very tiny left feminist wing of the anti-abortion movement (who is actually cheering for the new Texas law) really misses the point entirely.  And the sooner we fully abolish the "livestock model" of reproduction where Women are treated like brood mares (and men as work horses), the better we will all be.

In other words, Matriarchy is the real culture of life.  Patriarchy, on the other hand, is the cult(ure) of death.

UPDATE:  Bette Midler must have read our minds, per her latest Tweet shown below:

Neoliberalism: The Religion Of The World, Flesh, And Devil (Updated for 2021)

Neoliberalism.  It is a rather obscure-sounding term with a somewhat nebulous meaning.  It's anonymity and vagueness shroud it in mystery.  And yet, it is the very ideology at the root of most, if not all, of the modern world's problems.

So what is it, exactly?  It is best defined as a dogmatic belief in the inherent superiority and supremacy of unfettered free markets and privatization (and commodification) of nearly every single thing in the universe.  Inequality, however extreme, and even greed itself is recast as virtuous.  The rich and the poor deserve their lot in life, because reasons.  Poverty is in fact a feature, not a bug.  People are just objects to be used, as are animals and Mother Nature herself.  Citizens are reduced to mere consumers and wage-serfs, if not full-blown slaves.  And like the robber barons of old, today's high priests of neoliberalism are totally fine with robbing from the poor, giving to the rich, and torpedoing what's left of the middle class.  The only difference is that nowadays they typically do it with a smile and a veneer of pseudo-progressivism, while laughing all the way to the bank.

Neoliberalism's warped and twisted code of pseudo-ethics harbors a massive, gaping void that is essentially a moral black hole, since this ideology lacks a truly moral and spiritual component underneath it all.  Its entire foundation is shaky, empty and morally bankrupt, totally rotten to the core.  And yet, it has such mass appeal on both the (pseudo-)left and right of the political spectrum that it transcends that very spectrum.  And while neoliberalism is clearly the darling brainchild of patriarchy, it is such a wily and devious shapeshifter that it even transcends patriarchy itself as well.

From Reagan to the Clintons, Thatcher to Blair, Milton Friedman to Thomas Friedman, Greenspan to Powell, Facebook to ExxonMobil, Purdue University to Perdue Chicken to Purdue Pharma, Trump to Trudeau, and Boris all the way to Natasha, it seems like no mainstream or pseudo-alternative politician, ideologue, technocrat, maven, or tycoon has been able to avoid being infected by neoliberalism to one degree or another, and sucked into its lifeless, soulless abyss.

(Trump, with the notable exception of opposing some of the "free trade" component of neoliberalism, otherwise supports essentially all of the rest of their evil and demonic agenda in practice, his disingenuous rhetoric to the contrary notwithstanding.  And ALL neoliberals, Trump included, are largely anti-union in practice, if not also in theory as well.)

Though secular in nature, neoliberalism has all of the zeal of a religion, even a fundamentalist one.  And its dogmas have basically become the new orthodoxy from about 1980 onwards.  And we can thus conclude that neoliberalism is essentially the religion of the world, the flesh, and the devil, filling the voids left by the implosion of the mainstream patriarchal religions.  One can even call it a cult as well.

In Christian theology, the "world, flesh, and devil" have traditionally been considered the three primary enemies of the soul, as a sort of "unholy trinity".  Now, I believe that there is some nuance to this in that the world is only evil because of who rules it (i.e. the devil who works through men, particularly the oligarchs and their sycophantic lackeys), and the flesh is only evil when we choose to make it that way, since matter is essentially just a slowed-down form of spirit.  Neither of these first two are inherently evil in themselves.  But under the current regime of patriarchy, living exclusively for these two is believed to ultimately lead to the third member, the devil.  Or wetiko, if you prefer.  Whatever it is, it is pure evil energy that cannot ever be redeemed.  And neoliberalism, in its sheer vileness, vainglory, and wanton idolatry of money and worldly power above all else, effectively worships all three members of this unholy trinity.

The rise of selected flavors of Christian (and other religious) fundamentalism since the 1980s has not stemmed the tide of neoliberalism, and the two increasingly seem to be joined at the hip nowadays.  And while patriarchy is currently in its death throes as we speak, the implosion of patriarchy and patriarchal religion is clearly non-linear, erratic, and chaotic.

And most notably, the recent rumors of neoliberalism's supposed death from the COVID-19 pandemic have been greatly exaggerated.  And by that, we mean that, if anything, neoliberalism has actually GAINED strength overall from the lockdowns and related restrictions which effectively robbed from the poor, gave to the rich, and torpedoed what was left of the already shrinking middle class.  And not only did these draconian measures not appreciably save lives in the long run, they actually cost lives, particularly among poorer people and people of color who got the brunt of both the virus itself AND the collateral damage disproportionately shunted onto them while the affluent got to "work from home".  There was certainly nothing genuinely leftist or progressive about doing that!  And the vaccines have been not only a major cash cow for the oligarchs, but also are (via mandates, "passports", and segregation) increasingly becoming a weapon of power and control over the masses, especially via divide-and-conquer.

And, of course, Women have gotten the brief end of the stick from the pandemic response as well.  Lockdowns have increased male-on-female domestic violence and Women have lost more jobs than men have as well.  And school closures have also forced Mothers to either 1) stay home with the kids and lose income as a result, or else 2) take on a triple burden by trying to juggle it all at once.  There is clearly nothing at all feminist about these policies, but rather these are things that neoliberalism salivates over the most.

TO HELL WITH NEOLIBERALISM!
