Men like to think "feminism" is some treatable infection, rather than a behavioral trait.Ghost wrote:...completely conquered by the sinister forces of feminism? (And all of its attendant -isms and other dystopian ideologies.) Is it possible that feminism will ever lose ground (on the global scale) to patriarchy and the rights of men?
1) How would this religion, operating under our secular government, protect the husband's house & other assets from the divorce court rulings of (for example) California or Florida, when Cupcake pulls the eject (with a side order of false accusations and paternity fraud)? Courts already ignore pre-nups, etc.fschmidt wrote:Feminism is nothing new. It is standard in decaying cultures in history. And it has been beaten many times, always by religion. As an example, the Anglo-Saxons rose to power in the 600s and were strongly patriarchal. But by the 1000s, the Anglo-Saxons suffered from feminism and went into decline. But by the 1500s, the Church enforced strict patriarchy in England and feminism was defeated. This allowed England to rise and become a great power.
One cannot expect a society to resist feminism without religion. All non-religious wealthy societies become feminist. And all feminist societies eventually become poor which mitigates feminism. The Philippines is an example of a corrupt society with no real ideology. If you want to see feminism defeated by something other than poverty, visit Jerusalem and go to the Orthodox neighborhoods.
The next culture will arise from some small group with a strong religion. It won't be Russia whose religion is weak. It will either be some religion of some tribe in central Asia, or some sect in the modern world that is strong enough to reject outside influence, as Christianity did in Rome. This last option is exactly what I am advocating.
In a strong religion, the wife's entire social circle would be in the religion. She would have to leave the religion and lose her entire social circle in order to use secular divorce court to screw over her husband. This is very difficult for women to do because women are driven by social concerns. This is why Orthodox Judaism is so effective at discouraging divorce.Teal Lantern wrote:1) How would this religion, operating under our secular government, protect the husband's house & other assets from the divorce court rulings of (for example) California or Florida, when Cupcake pulls the eject (with a side order of false accusations and paternity fraud)?

There is absolutely no connection between what women say and what they do. They may claim to love feminism and liberal men, but the truth is that they are drawn to power wherever the feel it. This is why more women than men convert to Islam in the West. A strong religion would have no problem at all attracting women.2) What is the appeal of this religion that it would cause the modern "empowered womyn" to trade alfalfa fuxx/beta buxx for it, before she hits the Wall?
Yes, there are group actions and individual actions.Ghost wrote:I agree that men could shut it down with 2 years if they really wanted to. It seems like even if we can come up with the best way to limit feminism's damage - containment, gaining ground against it, outright defeating it, whatever - it still wouldn't matter because we can't get men to cooperate against it. There's no uniting guys against a common foe that they don't see or believe in.
So I guess the answer to my question is that there is no gaining ground against it. I can't think of any countries that are doing this. Maybe a post-collapse society like Russia. Remember that Putin punished the p***y-riot whores?
Here's one more thing I thought of: the declining populations of western civilization will eventually lead to a feminist die-off. As long as feminism can't indoctrinate more quickly than feminists can die-off, I guess that's something.
True, throughout time churches have been mostly patriarchal and the bible has a constant theme of men dominating women and being the head of the household.fschmidt wrote:Feminism is nothing new.

If a lot of disaffected young men who had nothing to lose were recruited to this religion, they might be able to think of some means of discouraging such activity. Commercial arbitration arrangements could be made if one wanted to put a legal face on things.Teal Lantern wrote:1) How would this religion, operating under our secular government, protect the husband's house & other assets from the divorce court rulings of (for example) California or Florida, when Cupcake pulls the eject (with a side order of false accusations and paternity fraud)?

The female subconscious is fairly perceptive. At some point they will realize that the system is collapsing and their corporate whoredom is not sustainable, whereupon they will have no choice but to come crawling back to the men who can offer any viable alternative.2) What is the appeal of this religion that it would cause the modern "empowered womyn" to trade alfalfa fuxx/beta buxx for it, before she hits the Wall?
Feminism is to some extent the logical outcome of an efficient centralized rationing system. Females value men as the providers of resources and protection. If the system provides these things essentially as a free good with men only indirectly participating in the process, then the females will cease to care about ordinary men and look up to elite men controlling the system and men who have the highest reproductive potential. The situation will then be exacerbated by the elite in order to turn the females into their own giant communal harem. In order to eliminate feminism, this economic arrangement must be somehow eliminated.Ghost wrote:One idea I've had is enforced poverty for women. Feminism and economic development go hand in hand I think, even without misandrist laws. This is what I'm seeing in China. And how to start doing that? Also, poor countries now could become rich in a number of years...
You keep saying this, but I haven't really observed that the plutocrat class -- by and large a bunch of physically repellent, jowly swells, barely healthy enough to have sex -- travels around with harems, or seems to even be interested in monopolizing the attention of young women. Dirtballs, yes. But plutocrats, no.Cornfed wrote:Feminism is to some extent the logical outcome of an efficient centralized rationing system.
