Justice for Men & Boys 
Thank you for a very good summation piece on current knowledge. Perhaps from our ideas of the soul we have determinedly separated ourselves from the material world. Ignoring the pretty obvious that our “social constructs” were built out of our natural selves interacting with our real environments, to produce remarkably similar societies in the ages before widespread travel. I recall many years ago a weighty tome bringing together all sorts of Anthropological studies to demonstrate that the activities reserved for one sex in one society may not be so for another (weaving, gardening pottery etc.). Long before my “red pill ” What the editor had in fact shown was that although there is indeed considerable variation, in fact the differentiation into “mens” and “womens” itself was universal. Also that basic social structures are universal and even the patterns of activities conformed to the general rule that women stayed closer to home and the village and males the distant stuff. So if pottery was a female activity it was in the context of materials and equipment being available in the village, if a male activity this was if it was something that was done in a place away from the village, the raw materials or technology were difficult to move or distant or were shared by other villages.
So young and open minded I could see that beyond some relatively superficial differences in fact the tome demonstrated a remarkable amount of universality.
As I’ve grown older its become clearer that the ‘isms are in fact anti science while professing to be scientific. Because they’d prefer a religious approach that separates humans from the “material” world. So of course feminism has to profess belief in a time of a bunch of males getting together and creating a whole “Patriarchal” society off the top of their heads and then continuing, in some Dan Brown type secret society, to perpetuate this evil plot over millennia. But then a Dan Brown novel is a darn sight more exiting and full of drama than painstaking scientific work.

You can stop that for a start. Just sit down and shut up. All right? Natural selves indeed. You’ll be arguing that humans are not perfectible by state diktat next.

Cor, when he’s not writing theme tunes, he’s tweeting blinders like this.
Even from beyond the grave!
What a guy.
Good catch though.

It’s frightening, for some, to consider the implications of a round Earth and much safer to condemn as heretics those who assert, on solid evidence, that it is not flat.

Seems like an inconvenient truth for feminists to get their heads around I think!
