OK. Yesterday we determined that the reason that women complain that they are "stressed" is because our modern culture denies them the life of learning, caring, and teaching. Which is what comes naturally to women.
But whatabout men? Men, they say, are demoralized these days. Why is that? Well, the answer is obvious. It is because men are creators, fighters, and destroyers. And life in the modern admistrative state, in schools, in government or in corporations, denies men that kind of life. The schools deny boys that kind of life. The left denies men that kind of life, except when conducting fake revolution through activism.
Yeah, that's interesting. Men are to be odedient serfs, but activists in their peaceful protests are allowed and encouraged to cause chaos and destruction, as approved by the ruling class. They get to be real men.
So women like beauty, and romantic comedies, while men like chaos, and superhero movies.
So what is to be done? Hey I know! Let's dismantle the welfare state!
For women, the welfare state reduces their opportunities to care, for parents and children, as it encourages women to dump their parents on government healthcare and assistance and forces them to dump their children in government schools. It institutionalizes their instinct to teach by funneling all schooling through government and thereby killing it. It does, of course, encourage learning, but only lefty-approved learning, which would turn any sensible person off learning forever.
For men, the welfare state forces them into government schools where they are forced to sit still and learn from women that don't understand boys. It discourages the natural play of boys, which is simulated warfare. And it channels them into conformist wage jobs of stultifying boredom.
But what terrifies me is the realization that my reductive Three People theory applies only to men. People of the Creative Self are men totally devoted to creativity, fighting, and destruction. People of the Responsible Self are men willing to encounter creativity, fighting, and destruction in limited, rule-bounded situations. And People of the Subordinate Self are men that would rather not outdare the dangers of the time at all, unless in the last extremity when they join the mob.
What about women? The truth is that women can only be women, and learn, care, and teach, in a structured and safe environment where all chaos and uncertainty have been removed. This makes sense, because the central business of a woman's life is the safe delivery of babies and keeping them alive, while caring for them and teaching them, until it is time for them to leave the nest. Perhaps that explains woman's love of beauty: the material expression of an harmonic life where everyone is learning and caring and teaching without the irruption of the chaos of creativity and destruction.
This is all very disconcerting, because if the Three Peoples theory does not apply to women then with what reductive Three Stages theory shall we understand women and how should we implement that in politics downstream from culture downstream from religion?
Maybe that points to the fundamental error of the modern era, the idea that men and women should live and work together in the public square and that they should be raised, educated, socialized in the same way.
Back in the day, in A Mariner of England by William Richardson, the author's dad decided that being around his mother was making him too soft so he sent him off to sea as a cabin boy.
But maybe if we are getting it all wrong that's why women all feel stressed and men all feel demoralized.
