The feminization of society: Judeo-Christian values: part XXII
As a result of the repudiation of Judeo-Christian values, we are witnessing the ascendance of the feminine in Western society.
All right!
Wait, he means that as a bad thing.
There are two reasons for this. One is the overriding belief in equality, which to those who reject Judeo-Christian values means sameness.
Well, he's got me there. I'm going to guess that by Mr. Prager's standards, I reject Judeo-Christian values. I'm pro-choice, pro-gay, pro gay marriage, pro-separation of church and state, pro-science. And it's true, to me, equality does mean sameness. You know why?
Because that's what it means.
equality
n 1: the quality of being the same in quantity or measure or value or status [ant: inequality] 2: a state of being essentially equal or equivalent; equally balanced; "on a par with the best" [syn: equivalence, equation, par]
Judeo-Christian values emphatically affirm the equality of the sexes.
Yes, that's why they want women to have an absolutely equal say in what's done to their body. And if the sexes are equal, what possible difference could what sex one marries make?
In fact, given that the creation story in Genesis proceeds from primitive to elevated, the last creation, woman, can easily be seen as the most elevated of the creations.
See that? If you broads would just stay on your pedestals and let us elevate you high enough that we could look up your dresses, we men could get something done around here.
Every man knows how much a good woman helps him transcend his animal nature.
And that's what you're here for, you know. Coming to complete fufillment for yourself is irrelevant.
Judeo-Christian values do not conflate equality with sameness.
Too bad. Because, as seen above, that is the reality of what it is. I leave it to you to infer what that means about Judeo-Christian values.
But the Left rejects any suggestion of innate sexual differences.
We do? I'm pretty sure I still know the difference. Girls are the ones with soft bodies and the pretty eyes, right?
That is why the president of Harvard University nearly lost his job for merely suggesting that one reason there are fewer women in engineering and science faculties is that the female and male brains differ in their capacities in these areas.
Actually, he nearly lost his job for saying that women lack natural ability in math and science and this explains why fewer women succeed in math and science.
A secular liberal who advocates affirmative action based on sex, Harvard's president nevertheless also has -- or had, until his humiliation at the hands of his faculty -- a belief in seeking truth.
He also had--and for all I know still has--a habit of trimming the number of women offered tenure at Harvard since he became president.
And the truth is that men and women are profoundly different.
It's true. We are. What with the penises and the vaginas and all. This Dennis Prager is a deep thinker.
One of these differences is that women generally have a more difficult time transcending their emotions than men.
Silly bitches.
There are, of course, millions of individual women -- such as Margaret Thatcher -- who are far more rational than many men; but that only makes these women's achievements all the more admirable.
See? I'm not sexist!
It hardly invalidates the proposition.
It hardly needs to.
Far more common than Margaret Thatcher's rationality was the emotionality of the women jurors in the Menendez brothers' trials. All six women jurors in the Erik Menendez trial voted to acquit him of the murder of his father (all six males voted guilty of murder). A virtually identical breakdown by sex took place in the Lyle Menendez trial for the murder of their mother. The women all had compassion for the brothers despite their confessions to the shotgun murders of their parents.
Compassion? Those crazy, crazy bitches.
To say that the human race needs masculine and feminine characteristics is to state the obvious.
Actually, each human needs both masculine and feminine characteristics. That's a very important distiction.
But each sex comes with prices.
Especially on Times Square.
Men can too easily lack compassion, reduce sex to animal behavior and become violent.
We can? Thanks, Den!
And women's emotionality, when unchecked, can wreak havoc on those closest to these women and on society as a whole -- when emotions and compassion dominate in making public policy.
"Bury your feelings, Luke--they do you credit, but they could be made to serve the Emperor."
The latter is what is happening in America.
Yes, compassion is dominating in making public policy. One has only to look to Iraq or New Orleans to see a public policy dripping with compassion.
The Left has been successful in supplanting masculine virtues with feminine ones.
We have? Actually, most people don't consider virtues to be either masculine or feminine.
That is why "compassion" is probably the most frequently cited value.
Stupid compassion.
That is why the further left you go, the greater the antipathy to those who make war.
Except for all the lefties (including me) who agreed with making war on those who had...oh what is the phrase...actually attacked us, he's quite right, of course.
Indeed, universities, the embodiment of feminist emotionality and anti-Judeo-Christian values, ban military recruiters and oppose war-themed names for their sports teams.
Damnit, I would have done well in college.
A sentiment such as "War is not the answer" embodies leftist feminine emotionality.
Actually, it embodies one of the most truly reverent, I would argue divine and sincere songs ever recorded. However, it was recorded by a man named Marvin Gaye. That may be throwing you.
The statement is, after all, utter nonsense, as many of the greatest evils -- from Nazi totalitarianism and genocide to slavery -- were quite effectively "answered" by war.
Well, I'm pretty sure during WWII, very few people were saying war was not the answer. Just during, you know, Vietnam (when Gaye's song was recorded), the most recent war in Iraq, and other quagmires.
(Virtually every car I ever have seen display the bumper sticker "War is not the answer" was driven by a woman.)
That's good enough for me! Our mistake, Den, was in teaching 'em to drive in the first place...
The response of one of the leading women professors who attended Harvard President Lawrence Summers' talk aptly illustrates this point. As The Boston Globe reported, Nancy Hopkins, a biologist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, "walked out on Summers' talk, saying later that if she hadn't left, 'I would've either blacked out or thrown up.'" It is difficult to imagine a male MIT professor, even another leftist, walking out of a lecture and saying that he had to lest he vomit or faint.
See what frail little bitches they are? And it's not at all possible that she was using hyperbole, is it? That kind of clever word game is man talk.
In the micro realm, the feminine virtues are invaluable -- for example, women hear infants' cries far more readily than men do.
So, you know, we do need you for the breeding and the caring of the children and all. We'd help, but we'll be too busy with our guns and sticks. You just stay in your little place with the little tasks we've left for you.
But as a basis for governance of society, the feminization of public policy is suicidal.
Don't knock it till you've tried it.
That is one reason our schools are in trouble. They are increasingly run by women -- women with female thinking moreover. Such thinking leads to papers no longer being graded with a red pencil lest students' feelings be hurt; to self-esteem supplanting self-discipline as a value; to banning games such as dodge ball in which participants' feelings may get hurt; to discouraging male competition; to banning peanut butter because two out of a thousand students are highly allergic to peanuts.
Huh. See, I would have thought pressure groups from both the right and the left censoring books with any sort of color off the reading lists, lack of funding, the cutting of arts programs, low teachers salaries or whackjobs trying to get creationism taught as if it was science and abstinence-only sex ed.
But no, apparently, it's the bitches fault.
In a masculine society governed by Judeo-Christian values (which include a masculine-depicted and compassionate God), feminine virtues are adored and honored.
A choice of responses:
Especially at Hooters.
This is another one of those questions I feel I have to put to my female readers. Ladies, do you feel your virtues are adored and honored?
In a feminized society, male virtues are discarded.
That's right. We've been tossed aside. Like an old shoe...except that we know how you gals love shoes. Ask Condi.
Then both sexes suffer.
You like thinking about that, don't you Dennis?
Just one more consequence of the war against Judeo-Christian values.
Which doesn't exist, but hey, keep telling yourself that. I'll be talking to your daughter.
If you can take more, Jill at Feministe has some good responses to the same column.
