“May you live in interesting times..”
– A Chinese Curse
My Friends,
We are currently witnessing growing tears in the fabric of the United States of America that does not bode well for the long term prospects of it’s sovereignty nor for the ability of its citizens to freely obtain Life, Liberty or the Pursuit of Happiness.
I personally started to see the writing on the wall for these current events nearly 10 years ago and a significant part of my decision to expatriate 5 years later was due to the growing momentum I was witnessing in the orchestrated destruction of our traditional values and freedoms as Americans.
Its important to note that all of us have different internal alarms which serve to alert us to the potential hazards within our environment.
And unfortunately in our “modern” world these hazards to our well-being are quickly multiplying and creating greater waves of destruction against our financial, emotional, and physical health.
It doesn’t take a genius to realize that any of these hazards can easily manifest like a cancer and spread to the point of lethality not just for ourselves but for our society as well.
My own personal alarm started to ring with the realization that we were the first (and maybe the last) generation in the entire history of our species to blatantly violate our natural imperative as Men and Women to find love and symbiotic cooperation with each other.
To our own demise we are callously rejecting the tender aspirations of stable families which form the very core of any solvent society.
I’ve been a witness to the “War of the Sexes” since the 1970’s and have had a deep sense of dread in seeing Cultural Marxism rise up and take it’s most prominent form in Radical Feminism.
I’ve watched in horror as the media and “popular opinion” declared open season on traditional feminine and masculine identities in a stealth process to dismantle society by weakening the natural bonds of trust between Men and Women.
And now I’m seeing in real time this corruption of humanity reach it’s latest chapter as the forces of ego and greed create a downward spiral in the financial world which will ultimately lead to an economic and social collapse for our once noble country.
One of the primary fuels for this inferno has always been the crass materialism of “Empowered” Feminist who have chanted the mantra of “You can have it ALL” to several generations of Western Women.
In North America this foolish sense of entitlement not only pertains to their careers or material possessions..
But tragically to their relationship demands too.
These are the Western Women who demanded “equality” in public..
But who were always trolling for Sugar Daddies in private.
This appalling behavior has been glorified in our media to such an extent that it is now the accepted norm in our society.
Both Men and Women are now expected to walk through this Garden of Hell together and turn themselves into prostituted commodities for status and material gain.
One by one we are being forced to worship at the altar of “Sexual Materialism”.
And this is basically a religion which turns individuals into indentured slaves and mortally wounds our country as history has so openly demonstrated with other failed societies in the past.
Or simply stated..
There is no faster way to create a classic bubble then to live beyond your means.
And when the rewards of sex and relationship become dependent on bank balances, stock portfolios and visa card purchases..
Then an old blood-sport is resurrected with a “whoever dies with the most toys wins” mentality.
“Can you say over leveraged?”
This is truly what Feminism has become.
But as with any fire.. it destroys everything in its path and ultimately consumes itself.
And this is exactly what we will be witnessing in the weeks, months and years to come.
“There is no such thing as an atheist in a foxhole.”
Likewise there is no such thing as a Feminist in any kind of foxhole either.
Because as uncertainty and even chaos grows in our society you are going to witness once proud and “independent” feminist running for cover and pleading for protection.
Real protection that can only come from Real Men.
As this economic crisis metastasizes and danger starts to rear its ugly head you will see a magical and major attitude adjustment towards Men quickly take hold.
Any woman who won’t drop her ego and remain in denial over this will literally be left out in the cold where she and Mr. Darwin can have their own little private date with destiny.
Men will always be the protective guardians of both family and society at large and only the most jaded or delusional feminists would ignore this fact at their own peril.
If some of the more dire predictions of an economic collapse come true and access to the most basics items of food, water and shelter are in short supply then you will see once “firm” feminists quickly becoming “fair weather” feminists instead.
And as I have always advocated..
The only solution for any of this is to create strong families.
Because strong families can survive both good times or bad.
Feminists can’t.

Greatly written. I always enjoy your articles.

These are expected times. I’ve been surmising for a decade that America is in desperate need of a Greater Depression. Fires purify and strengthen the land. LET THE PURGING BEGIN!
October 5, 2008 at 3:11 pm
Thank you kindly Evergreen..
Mick in many ways I agree with you but keep in mind that MANY good people are going to get seriously hurt and lose everything in this process as well.
Fire’s don’t discriminate. And there will be no joy for me in watching the innocent suffer. God Bless..

An excellent analysis as always. Unfortunately, rw_man, I have the feeling that people are too brainwashed here to be saved. People have fallen victim to the mindset that “if you repeat a lie enough times, it will become the truth”. Feminism is so ingrained into the mindset of people, that you’re labelled a quack for thinking with a logical mind.
A society that refuses to widely acknoweledge men as the natural protectors, is the one that will turn towards government to fulfill this role. And government, no matter how benevolent in the beginning, will always look out for itself at the expense of the people. May I remind that the original Marxist theories specifically used feminism as a catalyst to bring people closer to the government through the break down of family and consequently, the removal of men from their leadership role.
Contrary to what people think today, the United States is no longer a capitalist society. The financial crisis is pushing out into the open the ugly truth: that corporate socialism is the main method of operation. The government was given too much power, and it has formed an unholy alliance with large unethical firms to sustain itself.
I recently had an argument with a Russian immigrant who left a decade after the collapse of the Soviet Union. He tried to convince me that a single global government would be the best way to rule the world, where people’s religion and values shouldn’t be put above the government. He, like his family longed for the days of the Soviet. Much like the American people are going to look back to the previous decade and wish for the return of those days. Yet, what both sets of people won’t realize is that the so called golden eras were built on foundations that could only sustain itself for a short period of time.
I personally believe people in the West are too far gone to be saved. They will be too busy trying to set things “the way they were” to realize that the genie can not be put back into the bottle. A few generations must die out, or a major revolution. But humans as a whole are very resistant to change. Most don’t care about the long term consequences of their economic circumstances, so long as all the physical needs are being fulfilled.
I personally am converting my saved money to gold, and will be focusing on developing useful skills that can carry me through an economic depression. Now is the time to investigate potential hedges, and build human capital through education in skills such as engineering, accounting, statistics, mechanics, construction, medicine, ect.
Good luck to everyone, and God bless. We are in for a rough ride.

It is unfortunate that such events have to come to pass before people wake up to what the truth really is. I only hope that during this time of crisis people don’t completely lose their heads, both figuratively and literally.
The problem with upheavals like this is that there are both positive and negative opportunities.
I only hope that the “sharks” don’t get the jump in everyone first, one of the biggest fears I have is that Cultural Marxism becomes true Marxism, that the radical fems don’t change their minds but instead advocate a dictatorial governmental structure instead as part of a feminist power grab.
Look at what happened to the Russian people just after they overthrew the Czarist regime in 1917, they had a small window of opportunity to make changes which were positive, instead the communist radicals were more organized and got to the finish line first and the Russians paid for it with 70 years of communist dictatorship and Stalin as a reward for their struggles.
I’m not sure the radfems will simply back off and fade away, I can see them becoming even more strident in their grab for power and their manipulation of the system for their own ends, I can see them selling out millions of mainstream women in order to maintain their own privileged positions.
In fact this sort of schism is already beginning to occur where more moderate women are realizing that they’ve been taken for a ride the past 30 years and it hasn’t turn out to be what they expected or were promised.
Some women will want to turn back the clock to something more “traditional” or at least redress balance between men and women. The radicals will want to accelerate the downfall of the current “patriarchal” system, in the hopes of establishing a truly matriarchal one where women make all the rules and decisions.
Look at how the rad fems are behaving in this election in regards to Palin, it’s all about power for them and nothing else.
It will be interesting and painful times ahead, for those who had the foresight to plan for this and aren’t over leveraged they’re the lucky few, many people won’t be so fortunate.

rw_man,
Wonderful article. Poignant and concise.
The process of maturing within a given realm is always a noteworthy event. As each of us hits our stride behind a just cause, we develop and redevelop in a constant cycle of discovery and exchange. Our focus sharpens and our commitment deepens. Watching these writings and responses over the past couple of years has seemingly brought out the firmness of conviction and strengthening of character for many people, including you. Not that I necessarily think you lacked any of those qualities to begin with, but you must admit that your expression of these beliefs is getting sharper and more articulate each time.
We all have much to learn as we face the magnitude of what we are discussing and considering on these pages. The roots of revolution lie at the feet of common men.
The only coup d’état to take place in American history was 45 years ago and it served to usher in the dawn of feminism and the ultimate demise of the family unit. The current situation in North America is dismal at best but for those of us who intend to stand and fight, there is no more time for casually observing from the sidelines. The basic structure of a family that once produced leaders of their community and country is gone. We are at war with a faction so subversive that even the players don’t always know which side they are on.
Men; act like men. Women; embrace all that makes you a woman. Be proud of your gender, not embarrassed by it. None of us “have to” accept the moral decay and destruction.
Stop re-electing public servants who only serve themselves. We do not need term limits as long as we still have a ballot box. Re-elect NO ONE. Congress/Parliament make the laws, not the President or Prime minister. North Americans; place value on your right to vote by removing everyone who has already blown their chance.
As you have said, rw_man, the fire burns all in its path and then consumes itself. You are right when you say that many will lose everything but from the ashes comes fresh growth, new life and eventual prosperity.
October 5, 2008 at 8:02 pm
Anon Girl,
I think you are wise in your choices financially and personally. I hope that a light and reliable weapon and the ability to hunt is a part of your plan. When everything hits the fan, being mobile and self sufficient may hold the key to survival.
Just a thought.
October 5, 2008 at 9:35 pm
Thank you Anon Girl,
First off I’m very impressed by the historical knowledge, insight and depth of your post.
Please keep it coming.
The USSR during Lenin’s initial rule did indeed implement a form of radical feminism to destroy families and empower the state.
This experiment was so effective in breaking apart the social foundations which held the country together that Stalin immediately put a halt to it when he came into power.
The USSR was able to “Pull the Plug” on their experiment with feminism.
The US will clearly do no such thing voluntarily and instead will just let this fire storm consume what ever lays in its path.
Perhaps you are right on a key point..
Perhaps western women and feminist at large are too far gone to ever change their ways even when real danger creeps ever closer to them.
But I’m willing to bet that reality will always be a harsh mistress.
I believe that Fear and Uncertaintly are going to do wonders to bring people back onto a more spiritual path especially when they are too bankrupt to continue the material way.
This is the entire point behind this post and as usual I hope that a certain number of feminist or any woman for that matter will be able to absorb it and think.
You are absolutely correct about the US becoming Socialist on a 2 tier level. It has been on this path for a long time actually.
But what I would also like to add is this.
The US is certainly becoming more socialist (and centrally planned) for the major corporations.. but simultaneously it is also becoming more fascist for the common man.
It’s truly sad when I meet Russian people who share the same desire from the immigrant you’ve seen to go back into the matrix where they can revert into a fetal position again.
This is a huge part of their national character especially for the older generations who desire unchanging “security” and “stability” in return for their absolute obedience to the state.
Orwellian? Yes..
But love for Big Brother and the mind control which caused it should never be under-estimated.
The reactions of this immigrant along with the collective history of people in the FSU should serve as a stark warning to the direction that the US is heading into now.
I’d have to say that i’m also very impressed and interested in hearing more about your insights into what you know about the short term sustainability of democracies and marxist countries.
I have my own views on this but I’d like to hear more about your perspective first.
In anycase Anon girl good luck on your own personal plans for sustainability during the rocky road ahead.
Obviously you are on the right track.

October 5, 2008 at 10:04 pm
An intresting article, GL!
I just read one supposition in THE TIMES saying that the present financial crisis is the result of men domination on the stock exchange or in top management. Apparently, Lloyds TSB in UK has the minimum loss bacause of the greater numbers of women in top management…
I can even imagine that women can manage finance much better and smoother. The only problem I see here is that a normal feminine woman will NOT WANT this top position!
I am a good example myself- being a manager, I realise that my dream job is actually of a HOUSEWIFE :))
October 5, 2008 at 10:05 pm
Richard as always your feedback and compliments take on added meaning in light of your own excellent analysis and great written contributions as well.
There’s no doubt in what you are saying..
Starting this blog and doing what I can to put it all on the line has been one of the greatest and most humbling journeys of my life.
There’s a funky old Tower of Power song that I just love which applies to this perfectly.
It’s called..
“The more you know.. The more you know you don’t know.”
Check it out on something like iTunes when you get a chance. 🙂
Anyways back to the subject..
When you refer to the coup d’etat 45 years ago I assume you are refering to JFK getting offed?
If that’s the case then one thing I’ve learned from that incident is that you are right about not knowing who the real powers responsible for it ultimately are.
I do understand a little about the M.O. in these cases where something major like this goes down (just like when an economy and its currency are intentionally engineered to collapses).
Various players are usually enticed or blackmailed into participating so that there is enough guilt spread around to maximize silence and sow confusion.
Patsies and fall guys are always thrown into the mix or should I say in front of the media and the real players are usually off to their next big job in no time.
In anycase lets hope that the cycle of destruction and new growth that you talk about is mercifully quick and mostly beneficial for the long term.
October 6, 2008 at 10:18 am
GRY,
That is a good point.
There is certainly a possibility that the Feminist in North America will become the new political “Commissars” of a Socialist/Marxist Government in the US.
However I don’t believe that history fully supports this and I still stand by my assertions in this post that Feminism is an Economic Bubble.
Lenin called his indoctrinated masses “useful idiots” for a very good reason.
Once they helped him and the Communist Party rise to power many of them were simply purged to gulags, exiled into Central Asia or just flat out executed.
In short they were completely used up, exploited and then tossed into the trash.
In order for the “revolution” to continue the communist party had to bring in fresh meat from the youth leagues.
These youngsters had completely impressionable minds and were not yet jaded or disillusioned by the system.
They became the new vanguard and the party’s most radical supporters.
Chairman Mao also understood this well.
After China became Communist Mao incited the Cultural Revolution which was almost entirely composed of students to stamp out and repress the old guard that had actually helped bring Mao to power!
Basically I’m sure it’s a little like the code of “honor” among thieves.
The revolutionary leader says to his followers.. You helped me to betray our country so why should I trust you now?
If you research this more deeply you will see that this has happened repeatedly throughout history and that this is a very old game which completely exploits the initial wave of followers.
And Western Feminist FIRMLY fall into the cross-hairs of this exploitation.
I honestly hope more Western Women and Feminist read this discussion because they are going to be completely abandoned by both sides of this upcoming conflict if they don’t start changing their tune now.
Survival in these times will depend on cooperation and allies.
If they completely alienate themselves then they are toast.
October 6, 2008 at 10:24 am
Privet Axinia,
I think what you are reading in the Times is just another worn out recording of what the feminist have been saying for years.
“Men are responsible for fighting all the wars and creating such destruction and if women were in charge this would never be allowed this to happen..” blah blah blah
Hmm.. Obviously the Times is still probably on the payroll of the Soros or Rockefeller foundations that have been actively bank rolling feminist causes for many years now.
Women as “Kinder Gentler Leaders?”
Well I don’t think Elizabeth the 1st, Catherine the Great, Golda Mier or Margaret Thatcher were exactly pacifists..
And if any of them sat on any corporate boards today I’d highly doubt if they would volunteer to become philanthropists either..
Keep in mind that one could also argue that women are naturally less aggressive risk takers in life and business then so what is being poorly spun in the Times as “Minimum loss” could also mean “minimal profits” during their tenure.
There are still plenty of banks who are still highly profitable that didn’t play the sub-prime crap shoot like the Lehman, Morgan Stanley or the WaMu’s of the world.
HSBC for example has a reputation for being a pretty safe player but still ranks as number 3 world wide.
I wonder how many women are in their senior management or board given that its a predominantly Asian Company?
In any-case I certainly agree with your key point.
Traditional feminine women would not likely gravitate towards these senior positions in the first place..
It’s way to political, vicious and dog eat dog to be a peaceful or enjoyable place to live and grow.
And the personality traits and machiavellian skill sets needed to succeed in that environment doesn’t bode to well for getting married and raising children.
With that in mind I can certainly understand your desire to pursue your dream job as a housewife. 🙂
You go girl! More power to you my dear. 🙂
October 6, 2008 at 1:33 pm
rw_man,
Thank you for your very kind words. I promise to add more to it when I get the time.
About women being aggresive, I would like to point out a few things:
Many objectively conducted domestic violence studies demonstrate that women and men perpetrate at equals rates. Women, being smaller have a higher frequency of weaponry use. The number of male victims are considered to be understated because men are unlikely to admit to being victims of domestic abuse, and because there are few resourves out there to reach to them.
An excellent analysis: http://pubpages.unh.edu/~mas2/V70%20version%20N3.pdf
Also women in leadership positions is definitely an unnatural thing. Women as a supporting position is what mother nature designed us for. I think it can be perfectly compatible and even beneficial in a corporate environment.
About the safe player institutes…I am not sure if being a safe player counts anymore. The problem with the financial crisis is the inaccurately rated packages that had been bought by well meaning companies. The big guys betted on rating a mixed portfolio containing junk bonds as triple A in hopes that if one of them failed, the portfolio would remain relatively intact.
Of course, due to the lack of transparency, nobody know exactly where all of them are, or what are in all of these mixed packages. The safeplayers can play it by the good book all they want, but they are on a potholed field with the holes being camoflaugued. And we all know who created this field in the first place…. >_<
October 7, 2008 at 10:46 am
Thanks for the comment Anon Girl.
Nurturing characteristics inherent within real women could certainly be beneficial in specific enterprises.
The point that I want to make here is that certain industries are vicious by nature at their core like banking and energy. There are many other industries that certainly would do well with a woman’s nurturing touch at the helm but I don’t think wall street is one of them.
October 7, 2008 at 11:57 pm
I have to say I’m more scared than I ever have been in my life.
God help us all.
October 8, 2008 at 12:35 am
Me too Hero. I see frightening parallels between the 30’s in Germany and what is going on in the United States and other countries right now. I am certain the United States will become the Fourth Reich and when that happens all bets are off where things are going next.

“Because as uncertainty and even chaos grows in our society you are going to witness once proud and ‘independent’ feminists running for cover and pleading for protection.”
Watch “Swept Away” for a perfect allegory/illustration of this basic reality of life. Watch the original 1974 Lina Wertmüller version, not the 2002 version with Madonna.
But I must say I reluctantly agree with Anon Girl that “people are too brainwashed here to be saved.” It would take an actual apocalypse, not just an economic or social down cycle, to reveal this reality.
On the other hand, I don’t quite believe that “people in the West are too far gone to be saved.” It’s easy to be caught up in our era and believe that we are living in “end times” of one sort or another. I have just started reading “The Fourth Turning”, by William Strauss and Neil Howe, about the remarkable cycles of history. It gives me perspective, on the one hand, on the many crises of the present, and at the same time gives me hope for the future, because we have seen it all before, many times. Pick your cliche: “There’s nothing new under the sun.” “The only constant in life is change.” “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” Facile? Maybe. But every generation has had its pundits who said that things are SO bad now that it all must come crashing down and end in destruction.
And parallels with Nazi Germany are just too hysterical to deserve a response.
October 15, 2008 at 11:50 pm
Then you haven’t been paying attention to what is really going on here. Nor have you wrongly been threatened by a cop with a gun in a like I was. People thought at first the Nazis were a bunch of buffoons. It wasn’t long before the ones who dismisses them as buffoons were running for the door when they came into power.

October 16, 2008 at 4:17 am
Thoughts for Craig and Taras,
A close friend and business associate of mine was a U boat pilot near the end of WWII. His girlfriend (at the time, now wife) escaped Nazi territory hiding under a train. They are an old and very wise couple and during a very meaningful conversation over dinner recently at their home they made comparisons between the onset of Nazi control in pre-war Germany verses the current state of affairs in America. It was an amazingly eye opening experience from two people who lived it.
Government shifts toward liberalism and socialism, financial secrecy and devaluation, job loss and reduced productivity. It was the precursor to a dictatorship as Hitler was able to show how it could all be turned around. Sadly it is all falling in line right here in the US in similar fashion and on a similar pace.
We laugh off some idiot politician running for some minor office and a decade later he’s heading for the White House. We ignore various social movements because they “don’t affect me personally” and before you know it another law has been passed restricting our basic freedoms. (Ask Australians and Canadians about gun laws passed in the past ten to 15 years in their countries)
Feminism, socialism, corruption, the rush to “stabilize” world markets by “considering” a unified currency. These things are not designed to knock us over by slapping us in the face all at once. The point is to continue slipping them in bit by bit until such time that there are more of them in place than we can undo at all.
Never mistake the facts because of the style of delivery. It is called subversive because it is laid upon us in gentle layers until the collective weight has us unable to resist.
Yes, Craig, I think the comparison does warrant a response, and a serious one at that.
October 16, 2008 at 3:33 pm
Why would America stand against a Nazi dictatorship and, a few decades later, seek to implement it themselves?
October 16, 2008 at 5:59 pm
Bella,
I for one do not think that the political powers in Washington, DC are honest and forthright people. That said I do believe that there are many elected officials who have the best of intentions and certainly begin their political careers with a helping attitude.
As the cold war was winding down and America was prematurely claiming some sort of victory, military people here were warning that the entire landscape was only undergoing a fundamental change of appearance. It became very clear in the late 70s and early 80s that American politicians were much cheaper purchases than nuclear warheads and the missiles to carry them. The cost of one such weapon would easily buy the voting conscious of at least a half dozen congressmen.
The American people and most of our elected officials do not support a Hitler style dictatorship but it isn’t necessary to win the blessing of either of those groups. In fact it takes very few key people to pull off a complete overturn of any government. (i.e. the Kennedy assassination)
The blatant apathy of Americans is an integral piece of the puzzle for any organization looking to assume power here. Creating that apathy was smooth and efficient and was not fully instituted by a single group or organization. Pick a villain, any villain and allow them to systematically reduce then eliminate the spirit of the masses and it is just a matter of time before those masses are marching to an entirely new regime.
The 1963 coup which began well before the first shot was fired in Dealey Plaza was a part of the power struggle for who would eventually hold the deck many years later. Because it wore an only slightly different facade does not mean it wasn’t a coup. There are many who believe that the same infighting still exists between those interests today.
A prime example could be Barak Obama, who has publicly stated that his loyalty is Muslim and that the US is no longer a Christian nation. Apparently he has missed The Constitution and The Declaration of Independence in his readings.
Foreign countries and foreign nationals hold an enormous percentage of land and industry in the US and the American debt to other nations (most of whom do not share our overall views politically or socially) is in the hundreds of billions of dollars.
Also consider The UN, NATO, The World Bank and The G7. Can you tell me which if any of these organizations in any way promotes or supports the ideologies of America? The UN as a body is not our friend. NATO was never a good idea in that its goal is to treat violent, inhumane, blood thirsty, totalitarian governments “equally” with the countries in membership. How incredibly naive and ridiculous is that? The World Bank is run by a tiny handful of men bent on controlling the world via the individual economies. How can that possibly work? As for the G7, that is merely window dressing for inept political showboating. Functionally, it is little more than a social club.
No matter how many nut cases run around yelling conspiracy at every turn, the simple reality is that all of the freedoms which once held American and other democratic peoples apart from the rest are now either quickly eroding or have already been taken completely away.
Remember too that the few in power are not always the ones we see at the podium.
October 19, 2008 at 1:09 am
To call the people who are really running the country honest and forthright is stretching the truth to the breaking point. They are anything but honest and forthright. The ones who are really in charge are running the nation from the shadows, and they are neither elected nor accountable to the people. That is the very heart of the troubles affecting the U.S. and much of the world right now, namely a tiny cabal waging a covert war on all fronts against the rest of the world’s population.
Taras
October 19, 2008 at 3:55 am
Taras,
Please Re-Read my opening statement;
“I for one DO NOT think that the political powers in Washington, DC are honest and forthright people.”
Your reference to “the ones who are really in charge are running the nation from the shadows” is spot on and (also as you have said) the main cause of our social, political and financial troubles right now.
I am a longstanding, outspoken, “independent” voter who is and has always been very involved in the process. I always vote. I never vote a party line. And I have almost never voted for any incumbent.
Lawyers in politics are one of the biggest reasons we can not trust our elected officials. If given an option between a lawyer and a biker on a ballot, I would probably choose the biker. At least I know where he stands. A law degree on a politician’s resume is the kiss of death for all of us.
Allowing the desires of lobbyists to influence our legislative process has been equally destructive. All lobby groups should be denied by law the ability donate money to any person or political party.
Please remember that the people and organizations that make these changes happen are not the same sort of people who founded this country. It would be hard to imagine someone in government service throughout the first hundred years of American independence would have even considered the level of corruption which is commonplace now. They would have been shot for treason if anyone found out. No we elect them as senators, congressmen and . . . presidents.
Militant elements from both inside and outside of America created the racial indignity which led to a need for the civil rights action and the subsequent unrest it caused.
The same type of antagonists created the dissidence during the Vietnam conflict. Obviously there was no practical reason for America to be involved in that mess and we as a people had every right to be outraged and outspoken in our disgust over how it played out, but as one of the thousands who actively protested that war, I can assure you that support came from many sources outside the NA continent.
Of course most of us know that the feminist agenda was sponsored, also in no small part, by anti-American interests.
I’m sorry that you missed my initial statement but thanks for adding your intensity of dissatisfaction regarding the issue.
October 19, 2008 at 12:18 pm
This news is completely outrageous. In Australia, they are extending ‘marriage’, and all the penalties that marriage imposes upon men, to men who haven’t even gotten married.
I believe that under new legislation, a couple living together for 2 years (cohabiting), is deemed to have crossed the threshold where a marriage-equivalent asset-split can occur.
‘De facto splits on a par with divorce’.
http://www.theage.com.au/national/de-facto-splits-on-a-par-with-divorce-20081018-53o3.html
Covers the same story: ‘De facto couples bill passed by Senate’:
http://news.smh.com.au/national/de-facto-couples-bill-passed-by-senate-20081016-52ay.html
And how charming, now a man and his girlfriend can sign a ‘prenup’, because in the eyes of the law, they’re now ‘married’ – at least as far as legally having a shot at his assets is concerned.
‘Prenuptial rights for same-sex, unmarried’:

This is total, outrageous, feminist overreach. Two years of sex with a girlfriend should *not* cost a man his house. This sort of redistributive thinking is grounded upon an outdated, 1950s social-model of society, where an ‘abandoned woman’ could potentially be left destitute with children.
Women today outperform men in school, in university, have their own jobs, and their own money. There is absolutely no justification for them to collect men’s assets on top of this, as a legally enforced ‘tariff’ for having a non-marriage relationship with her.
We know men are already avoiding marriage because it’s just such a raw deal. So, in order to ‘harvest’ more men, the man-hunters are extending the size of their net. On the bright side, this overreach may well be the tipping-point that politicizes many Australian men.

Many years ago I admired Australia for the hard stand they took on social issues such as immigration and property rights over government interference. However, since the time of the firearms registration act that passed there all I have been hearing from the few Australians I know is how bad the government is moving toward a feminist society. This latest round of entitlement thinking scares the hell out of me not only for the sake of people there but for how the view of this sort of oppressive legislation will have to the rest of the world. I dearly hope that this “De facto Couples Bill” passed by the Aussie Senate will be fervently challenged by someone on constitutional grounds.
My concern and prayers go out to all Australians.

Exactly Richard, I agree with you 100 percent there. As for this “de facto couples” Bill, it’s going to back fire mightily. Men are going to have every reason to avoid women, and definitely avoid co-habitation with women not their relatives. What an awful law in an increasingly p****whipped country. I never imagined Aussies tolerating this, not even the women.

Fantastic! I’ve read this article in full and also the article with the Cultural Marxism link.
I must say it’s very hard for me to grasp some things your talking about(big words and powerful ideas that take time to digest for me.) It is rewarding reading this and gaining the understanding from you and your years of experience and intelligence that you share on this site, and I’m not being being fake saying that, I am truly grateful.
The traditional family is so being beaten down in many ways. I’m in Canada and it seems that every woman is a feminist and its so bothering to me, and yeah i’ve been in “arguments” with some of them(“friends” that have different views then me) and they ALWAYS bring up the word equality. Like this one girl tells me that women should be in the front lines in war and that should just be normal(like right side by side the men) she just totally believed that..men are almost seen as both a joke and a enemy to them as there always competing and putting us down with verbal and emotional abuse(<<<that’s so true in my opinion i see so many women that are hugely aggressive to their boyfriends and stuff it’s bizarre, i want a relationship of mutual love and encouragement so that we can grow together in this world and more importantly make sure that our sons and daughters can grow even better not with angry, hatred and being miserable with each other.
I’m so interested in meeting Russian women(only met one in Toronto and seems that Russians in Ontario are only in Toronto which is far away from me…maybe I need to look harder.) to understand what they are like, i realize that i shouldn’t expect everyone of them to be “traditional” but from what I’ve been reading and seeing it seems that the majority are. I truly want to create a family with a traditional Russian woman that can be strong in the bad and good times as you said. This world is tough and I am confident in my opinion but I’m not going to let myself be verbally and emotionally taken down by feminist girls.
I find it hilarious when some “repliers” pick apart your words like crazy to try to make you look dumb and that your an extremist or something all against women and stuff and then you perfectly and diplomatically counter their written attacks on your articles to put you down and every “rebuttle” I’ve seen you write totally makes sense that it just can’t be argued and then almost always they just stop..although I also see you must be getting tired of these people cause they just don’t change as their immature kids who will never change their way of thinking even if you give perfect valid points. Kids are rebellious like that cause that’s what a rebellious/underdeveloped/ignorant mind does and why I’m doing my best to not be ignorant by reading and understanding your articles.
I realize that my comments may be a bit “novice” and I may not be able to be witty or have powerful insight from experience in this world (i’m just 21) but maybe with some time and understanding I’ll be able to improve my replies…and grammar lol I know my grammar must be off a lot.
Thanks again for your time to share your thoughts and insights and now I’m going to take a look at those new photos!

Greetings from the Caribbean, and in particular Jamaica.
This semester I took a feminism and the law class. Before the class I had been neutral on the issues, only knowing that I supported equal rights in the sense of equal treatment and equal pay and the right to vote etc.
However, I can now say I find most acclaimed legal feminist authors to be full of shit. That in itself requires another essay on the subject which I cannot give here.
I can say that I am now more aware of how women really have been undervalued in society. I share similar sentiments to feminists of the “difference” school. Men and women are different, but equal.
The rampant capitalism and materialism that goes unchecked has bred multiple generations of whores, gold diggers, and useres. Male and female alike, and our “progess” has come at the expense of true happiness. I cannot say that there was ever a time in the history of the world that there was no social ailment. But we must be able to adapt and take the positive things from the past. But it seems that we have regressed socially.
The nuclear family unit, with support from the extended family, is an ideal that has served us well in reality, is the best one humanity has ever had.
No system is ever foolproof. Seek to lessen the fools within the system, not to tear down the system itself.

This article pretty much confirms what I’ve said in this post.
Although it probably should be re-titled..
“Economic Crisis causes American Women to Wise Up about the value of their Marriage.”

You’re only hearing it from one point, as an American woman I have never been a feminist nor can you will see why here it doesn’t matter to us what Russian women think about America. You are misinformed about our values, our politics, and our men and women. I see America as positive and enjoyed my mother working and being a housewife as well. I had a great life here in the United States. There is a huge problem with rape and violence from men here as well. 3 women in my family have been abducted and one got away. I was almost kidnapped and raped. I have to be honest, because in America that is what we try to be. I’m sure both men and women can blame one or another to b completely honest. I am not blaming men or women here. I am pointing out that some people lie, some men might just be looking for what they want not at all what they need. Some women may be bad for men, some men may be bad for women. Some men are violent and some women are. In America we do not conform and we have not held on to religious values, we have found that to be positive for other reasons and has helped other morals become of a concern and be dealt with properly. I do not have a problem with family, marriage or children here. I do not have a need to use a man for property either and you will many men need women to work hard and be independent as well.So it depends on the person and isn’t a ‘people’ problem so much here.
February 7, 2009 at 11:58 am
Wow, Liviana. All that sexual crime – just curious, is it really that bad in the States?
That’s really scary.
February 8, 2009 at 10:55 pm
Actually it all depends on where you live.
There are alot of problems, much like any country has. I do have Russian friends here and am going to soon take Russian. The sexual crime is scary and pretty bad. I almost, as sad as it is to say, do not know anybody who hasn’t been raped or molested. I see perhaps in The East it isn’t this bad? I just am one maybe to not just believe what I see or hear, but from only from people I trust.
February 9, 2009 at 1:36 pm
Scary. I don’t know anyone who *has* been raped or molested. :[
February 13, 2009 at 4:52 am
I’m American and completely agree with everything being said. I believe radical feminism to be one of the most destructive movements of all time. But I must say Liviana, you say, “I almost, as sad as it is to say, do not know anybody who hasn’t been raped or molested.” Pardon me but where in the hell are you living?
April 29, 2009 at 9:40 am
Good article. Interesting to learn that you decide to expatriate 5 years ago. I want to encourage others to do the same. Correct me if I’m wrong: stuff is much cheaper in Russia right? If I were a middle class American with a house, I’d sell it and go live in Russia. I would build a nice house and buy lots of business for income. You would be surprised how many western men have already done this. They are really blessed. Why stay in the west and risk your daughters growing up under a man hating ideology?
May 17, 2009 at 9:19 pm
I agree with alot being said here and like axinia would not like to be in a dog eat dog work enviroment, Question is there many definitions of feminism? Now days women if not married can work. In Bible times in ancient Rome such a women would have to be prostitutes. Did men end this old idea(most likely they did) ordid the women back then have to speak up? Just seeing what people views are on this for example.
May 18, 2009 at 8:05 am
Let’s take a look at feminism by starting with its intent and its definition. Then let’s look at the practical application as it exists today. The American Heritage Dictionary defines it this way; fem•i•nism, 1. Belief in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes. 2. The movement organized around this belief.
Since the Steinem/Fonda feminists of the early 1970s the concept of equality has been completely done away with. It has rather been about entirely replacing any traditional beliefs and practices with a female dominated societal base line. After all, “Men have screwed things up long enough, time for women to have a go at it”, right? But to what end? What did these new age women really want to accomplish?
The idea of a man’s dry cleaning cost on a white business shirt being a third of what a woman pays to dry clean a white business blouse is wrong. Fine, but does that mean that all dry cleaners should now have to lose money on blouses because of it? Of course not. White shirts and white blouses are the same thing.
A woman does the exact same job as a man but gets paid 15% less. Yes it is wrong, but giving women ‘similar’ jobs and being required by law to allow them to work less is also wrong. Feminists filed suit against road work companies in the late 70s because there were no women being hired. They won and now there are women on road crews. However they are only allowed to hold signs or in some cases drive trucks but they don’t ‘have to’ do any of the down and dirty, sweat your butt off jobs because ‘they say’ that work is too hard. So they get the same pay range as men digging in trenches with hand tools but they refuse to pick up a shovel. End result? Each job now cost more and takes longer. That is not equality.
Several men’s clubs were sued on grounds of discrimination in a class action for not allowing women membership and the women won the legal right to join any club they choose yet Women’s Only Fitness is one of the largest health club chains in North America. Equality? I think not.
Women sports reporters are allowed to interview male players after games inside the locker rooms because a discrimination suit was filed by feminists. As an active member of the working press I am not allowed to interview female athletes in their locker rooms after games but women reporters are. Equality?
Feminism did not, and could not have existed in Biblical times for the mere fact that women and men appreciated their gender roles and would strive daily to be as good as they possibly could at fulfilling their obligation to the family. Family was the key to everything in those days.
Feminism, on the other hand, is a product of post WWII communism and was expressly designed to break down the traditional Judeo-Christian family structure. Westerners were building on the idea of nearly unlimited personal freedoms and the communist goal of taking over the world was in jeopardy. By weakening the family unit through dissention and subversion, communism would be a ‘natural’ alternative to outdated western values. What’s more, even the leaders of the communist party saw women as an easier target, considering them weaker and more vulnerable. So the very architects of the feminist agenda were also male sexists. How ironic.
There will always be debate on the relative value of such heated subjects as feminism, abortion and so on but we need only to look at our roots in order to discover our strengths. The past is a key to the future. When we stray form the ideals which brought us this far, we are destined to lose everything. It is obvious all around us today that we are no longer as strong and as healthy of a people as we once were. Family is a necessary part of success within the human condition. Men and women need each other. Children need parents, two parents, one man and one woman. It is who we are.
May 20, 2009 at 4:29 pm
Feminism is Bolshesvism by another name, namely it’s intent is to destroy men and women’s ability to trust and bond with each other. Men and women deprived of each other fare poorly mentally, but as I found out first hand a feminist woman can wreck a man’s mental as physical well being too. The ultimate purpose of the resulting chaos is to enable the state’s total control over our lives from cradle to grave. The double standards and contradictions feminism contains are like Ebola viruses ripping apart brain and liver cells in an infected person, killing him the way feminism is killing us as a people and a society. Feminism results in death, and the real creators of this evil philosophy really did a superb job of bait and switch on impressionable and vulnerable young women.

PinoyBoy,
I completely agree with you. I am living in the West and am hoping to find a man to marry that is not infected with the feminist indoctrination. The reason why I say this is because when we have children, the West would be an awful place to raise them-both girls and boys. The system that is currently set up is increasingly slipping towards punishing those who value economic and personal freedom, and handing the goods over to those who favor license and economic theft.
