The feminization and pussification of our society

Helen Andrews, a former editor at The American Conservative, gave a wonderful speech wherein she discusses the feminization of civilization puts that civilization on the road to destruction. Listen to the whole thing, it’s worth it, IMO.

She hits a lot of good points, especially about how some professions, such as Human Resources and Psychology, as well as much of academia, have been taken over by women (hit critical mass of 30-50%). She lays out the fact that when this happens, then paradigms shift as well as norms. Feminization = woke.

As she explained a political system dominated by men will go by facts and objectivity, but by women it will focus on emotion and subjectivity. That isn’t an ironclad rule, she explains since some individuals fall on one side or the other.

Women may be changing the bedrocks of our civilization as they have an outsized impact on the political landscape. It could threaten civilization and the rule of law. She explains what that means in reality.

I will also direct you to the 2015 article by Kim du Toit entitled the Pussification of the Western Male. ETA and correction per comment from Joe: The original posting of his article was from 2003–2015 was a reprint. So he called it twenty-two years ago.

But in the twentieth century, women became more and more involved in the body politic, and in industry, and in the media—and mostly, this has not been a good thing. When women got the vote, it was inevitable that government was going to become more powerful, more intrusive, and more “protective” (ie. more coddling), because women are hard-wired to treasure security more than uncertainty and danger. It was therefore inevitable that their feminine influence on politics was going to emphasize (lowercase “s”) social security.

They both hit on the hard truths. I’d suggest re-reading du Toit’s article and then listening to Ms. Andrews.

ETA: From France and the theft at the Louvre:

Ms Buffin, 46 years old, was hired as the first woman head of security by Laurence des Cars, the museum’s first female director, last September. But yesterday, Ms Buffin, who has held positions in the police and the French Ministry of Culture, faced calls for her resignation and accusations of unsuitability for the role. Marion Maréchal, MEP and granddaughter of Marine Le Pen, declared that France is ‘the laughing stock of the world’ because of the ‘ridiculous theft’.

She wrote on social media: ‘The Minister of Culture must demand the immediate resignation of the museum director and the head of security, whom she appointed as part of a policy of feminisation. It is the cost of giving up competence: endangering the cultural heritage of our nation’. Ms Le Pen, leader of the Rassemblement National party, called the raid a ‘wound to the soul of the country’.

    1. Which only means we now have two decades more evidence for the abject failure that has been the giving women access to political power. Really, we now have a solid century worth of empirical date to show it doesn’t work, and has ruined every aspect of society.

      Now, just what is to be done about it? From my vantage point, everything in politics is about maintaining the system as it is, there is no serious discussion anywhere of repealing the 19th, or anything else that would restore sanity to American politics. So, the only way out that I see is a collapse of such magnitude, that it completely eliminates the current government (and with it, the constitution) and provides and opportunity to create a new one.

      Essentially, we are left waiting for the birth of a new nation with only the long shot hope that it may be better. Of course, that is exactly the scenario being setup, but with no assurance that anything decent and sustainable comes out the other side of the process.

  2. Unless, and until, society start treating women for what they are (and are not), and accepting that their being “equal” in rights is not necessarily a good thing either for women or for society, this will go farther and farther into chaos and ruin.

    And unless women realize what they are doing to society in general and themselves in particular, and start realizing why they were always treated as less than men (and I know that that Statement is gonna start an argument) until relatively recently….. there will be no fix.

  3. BRD–It’s just now (aside from Kim du Toit) that the issue is being recognized. It’s a failed experiment.

    B–I agree on all parts–no argument here. And the 19th Amendment was one of the worst mistakes made to our system. And the taking over of the educational system and other professions by women has been to the detriment of society as a whole.

  5. MWC – I don’t consider myself a visionary, just an intelligent and observant sort, and I recognized the problem at least as far back as Kim DuToit did (early 2000’s). Much of my insight came from the post 9/11 response, with stupid shit like the TSA being enacted (but intentionally hamstrung from scrutinizing precisely the demographic that needed to be of greatest concern, so we all got inconvenienced), the infamous terror alert color scale, which quickly became as meaningless as a boy crying wolf, and the general societal attitude of not calling a spade a spade, and doling out proper punishment, where it came to the distinction of perps versus victims.

    This has exhibited ever since in perps being coddled, and victims effectively being told to fuck off (aka the perps rights mean more than your concerns and suffering does), so called zero tolerance policies in schools that conveniently let bullies get away with the stuff they do, but then turn around and harshly punish victims of the bully who decided to take necessary actions on their own.

    Then has permeated every facet of society, from encouraging and allowing rampant spying on citizens, with the smarmy excuse given that “if you aren’t doing anything wrong, you have nothing to hide”, to medicating young boys after having obtained dubious diagnoses of various and sundry “behavioral” problems, because female schoolmarms cannot tolerate little boys acting normally while under their supervision. Thus, they have to be drugged into being passive, incurious, and lethargic so they can be made compliant to the standards of the teacher. It’s all bullshit, 100% of it top to bottom.

    The only difference recently is that the sheeple and NPC’s have ben taking notice, because it has finally gotten so bad it pierced the veil of their lack of consciousness. To quote John McClain, “welcome to the party, pal!”. Guys like me have been awaiting the rest of society to catch up for decades, and it’s finally happening. Of course, a large part of the shift in perception is because too many women are now being adversely affected by the reality they’ve collectively created, so suddenly it is a big problem that needs a solution.

    And yet, no where will we see the actual proper and necessary solution being proposed. These matters will only be discussed in the context of a need for more top down authoritarian control, to try and keep an artificial clamp on the problems that are constantly bubbling to the surface.

  6. I read KdT’s essay when it was published, and went looking for it in 2011 to make certain that I had a copy.

    With respect to women voting for safety and security, back in 1998, John Lott and Larry Kenny published a paper arguing that the growth of government and the welfare state was due to enfranchising women,

    1. Wheels – of course it is. That may have been some pretty out of the box thinking in 1998 (or simply too hot a potato to handle for nearly any intellectual to broach publicly at the time) but it is self evident that is exactly what has taken place. At least it is to me, and I’m not a super genius, so it has to be obvious to plenty of other normal people, too.

      There is one other variable, that being the men who willingly went along with the subversion. Either because it gave them additional power, influence and wealth they would not have otherwise gained, or they were defective men with feminine thinking minds (weak and otherwise disadvantaged men would favor a nanny state arrangement for their own safety and security, also), or simply because they were simps who thought it would ingratiate them to women, who would then shower them with attention and sexual favor. No different than the chumps who leave endless likes and compliments on some chick’s Instagram/tiktok thirst trap pictures these days, thinking it gives them a shot at the prize.

      I’ve no doubt the same sorts of scheming and opportunistic men were heavily involved in advancing the original women’s suffrage movement. After all, the 19th amendment couldn’t have been drafted and passed without the complicity of men who held power in government at the time. I have great difficulty ascribing honorable motives to what they did, so assume most who got on board did so only for having ulterior motives.

  9. Big Ruckus at 11:51 pm – I was gonna make the same comment but you said it better – far better. Plenty of men willingly went along with it to gain political power and/or hopefully increase their standing with women. Good comment overall.

    On a much smaller scale, my wife and I have had many conversations that go along those lines. Something bad happens in the news – my wife “Something must be done!” and me “If the govt does anything, it’ll just make it worse for everyone” and my wife again “But something must be done !!!!!”. We’ll go back and forth on that for hours.

    On a side note, I was reading DuToit well before that essay came out. Hard to believe I’ve been following his blog for well over 20 years. Damn I’m old.

  11. I apologize for the following rant. It is really subject adjacent and not fully on topic.

    Skybill jokes about sending women to fight in the next World War (and I agree with his point), … but there’s a reason we send the men. From an evolutionary perspective, individual men are expendable. Even in large numbers, men are expendable. Several European countries lost two-thirds of the male population from a given generation. In one generation, you can recover from that. It would take several generations to recover from losing two-thirds of the women.

    But losing two-thirds of the men from a generation does come at a cost — and Europe paid for it back-to-back. That cost is that too many men were raised solely by women. They do not functionally know what it means to be a man. The cultural knowledge of what it takes to be a man is completely lost on the European.

    The result of this is that western civilization in Europe is dying. It is past the point of no return. European culture will go extinct in Europe in the near future. The culture that raised the standard of living for the entire world is going to disappear from its birthplace. This is caused by a number of things, including an unsustainably low birth rate, mass importation of young people that are incapable of adopting the local culture. Add to that punishment of those trying to preserve western culture,and treating western culture as a disease.

    1. Heh, that became quite the spirited debate (and yes, I stirred that pot, too) over at BCE’s joint There is most assuredly a connection between the two subjects, as one of the strongest beliefs of (need I point out many of, but not all) the boomers is all the clap trap that tried to legitimize feminism and civil rights for what were (and remain) dysfunctional minorities that can’t cut it in the society we set up.

      And because consensus seeking, avoidance of conflict and hurt feelings are hallmarks of the feminist mindset, and were adopted as a parts of a sort of quasi-religious faith held by so many of the boomer generation, they ran with it and allowed it to proliferate beyond all reason. Now we are stuck in world of shit as a direct result of it. Almost every societal ill we now suffer is a downstream consequence from being kinder, gentler, and more accommodating. Exactly the way the feminine mindset wanted it.

    1. TRoy–Thank you for that, but it was a road against a lot of propaganda that I received growing up. I’ve spent a lot of time lately thinking about these things. I’ve also seen the havoc that liberal women have wrought. I’ve also seen those qualities in myself and I abhor them so am trying very hard for awareness when they appear and to not let them affect my judgement. Were I twenty years younger, I might not have the perspective that I do now.
