Our thanks to Gary for this. Jack Nicholson starred in As Good as it Gets (1997). Nicholson played the part of Melvin Udall, a misanthropic, bigoted and obsessive-compulsive best-selling romance novelist. He dislikes talking about his books, but when he’s in an office after a meeting with his agent, a nearby young woman, gushing with emotion, rushes up to him and asks, “How do you write women so well?” His reply is perfect. Enjoy (39 seconds).

Sums it up. I think Alexander Grace has it right https://youtu.be/s8RtnRVorh8?si=6uoaxY_XRIou4l2B not only about relationships but society in general. Certainly when I access the English language news from some European media it is striking how old fashioned they are….. facts, actual events, asking questions and listening to answers. Ours like some sort of celebrity gossip magazine. In a sense its Schadenfreude that the incoming female Archbishop of Canterbury was top story based on a load of gossip that boiled down to something she didn’t read or did that some other woman “felt” she should have. In short she’s the subject to just the sort of absence of due process fact based investigation that characterises what people’s feelings and opinions and self importance as of more importance than actual reality. Just the sort of thing that saw off rivals to smooth her way to being heir apparent. On a societal level this is a disaster because as Grace points out it turns a “high trust society” (one that everyone knows the rules and has a reasonable expectation that most others will follow them if even reluctantly) into one where nobody knows either the rules of can expect normative behaviour. Thus far this has turned public institutions and services into the increasingly dysfunctional organisations we experience. As yet the things that actually are vital to our prosperous society have been less infected, the “male dominated” sectors we really rely on. But give them time….

Male competition built civilisation. https://www.denisecummins.com/uploads/1/1/8/2/11828927/cummins_2019_encyc_ev_psy_sci.pdf
For eons, women reaped the rewards of being part of a status-stratified society, without, themselves having to compete, other than the intra-female competition of landing themselves a ‘high-value’ man.
But when, through feminism, they decide that they wish to be ‘independent’, and take part in the competitive process, they require that the rules be bent in their favour. After WW2, women made more significant incursion into the workplace and political arena. Being weaker, they gain most advantage from subverting existing institutions based on deontic, male values. Eventually, a tipping point is reached, where chaos begins to prevail. When women (and her favoured political left) are in control, we must follow ‘theory’ slavishly, and pretend, pretend, pretend that everyone is ‘equal’. When, in actual fact, if the female USP is stripped away, when her Unique Selling Point of reproductive capability is nullified because she wishes to ‘compete’, rather than have children and build a family…we are often left with a risk-averse human being, second class, with an inbuilt obsession with their own safety and security. It is not a basis for entrepreneurship or progress.
Meanwhile, with real competition dis-incentivised, society quickly runs out of the valid entrepreneurs who generate the money which allows theories of equality to be imposed.
Men have their jobs stolen and corrupted in the name of ‘equality’. The stellar female ‘career trajectories’ imposed by pretence, and following a narrative, allows her natural hypergamy to run riot…further dis-incentivising men, who cannot form a stable family.
Eventually…things fall apart.

Indeed. What is completely forgotten is that comparatively stable social relations and rules are a necessary condition for economic progress. And of course that the “career trajectories” are made possible by affluence rather than create affluence. Hence it is they appear in government agencies which have no competition nor “customers” and in vast bureaucratic multinationals which can afford to carry passengers while their actual entrepreneurs generate surpluses.
