For the Epstein class , only a female is in jail.
I didn’t say nature has nothing to do with it. Nature is the reason why men and women are different. Nature is the reason why the world is the way it is.
Because of nature, hierarchy will always exist, and there will be inequalities between men and women. And there’s nothing wrong with that.
We have language now. It’s part of nature that we can change what we do using language. People are saying there is something they don’t like about inequality so you need to make some case that somehow that language, that came from nature, isn’t because of nature, or is going against its own nature. I don’t know how you would do that.
Nature has always been the excuse given by the system to justify inequity.
There was a time when Nature was called upon to justify racism, antisemitism, colonialism.
Clemenceau against colonialism
On July 28th, 1885, Jules Ferry gave a speech where he said this:
“We must openly say that, in fact, the superior races have a right over the inferior races… (Murmurs from several benches on the far left.) I repeat that there is a right for the superior races, because there is a duty for them. They have a duty to civilize the inferior races. »
On the 30th of July 1885, 140 years ago today, Clemenceau gave his speech denouncing colonization in front of the National Assembly.
“Superior races have a right over inferior races, which they exercise; this right, through a particular transformation, is at the same time a duty of civilization. This, in plain terms, is Mr. Ferry’s thesis, and we see the French government exercising its right over inferior races by going to war against them and forcibly converting them to the benefits of civilization.
Superior races, inferior races, it’s easily said! For my part, I’ve become much more cautious since I’ve seen German scientists scientifically demonstrate that France should be defeated in the Franco-German war because the French are of a race inferior to the Germans. Since then, I confess, I think twice before turning to a man and a civilization, and pronouncing: inferior man or civilization.
Inferior race, the Hindus! With this great refined civilization that is lost in the mists of time! With this great Buddhist religion that left India for China, with this great efflorescence of art of which we still see the magnificent vestiges today! Inferior race, the Chinese! With this civilization whose origins are unknown and which seems to have been pushed to its extreme limits from the start. Inferior Confucius!
In truth, even today, allow me to say that when Chinese diplomats are dealing with certain European diplomats, they hold their own, and if one wants to consult the diplomatic annals of certain peoples, one can see documents that certainly prove that the yellow race, from the point of view of understanding affairs, of the good conduct of infinitely delicate operations, is in no way inferior to those who are too quick to proclaim their supremacy.
I do not want to judge the thesis that has been brought here, which is nothing more than the proclamation of the primacy of force over right; the history of France since the Revolution is a living protest against this in iniquitous claim.”
Please don’t call upon nature to justify inequality between men and women. Or demonstrate it.

This is for general consumption, not just a response to the comments here. It connects the patriarchal system to rape, using Epstein as a framework because when talking about Epstein, the talk is about power and access, not about the system that men are raised in that makes rape acceptable in the first place. The substack is well crafted. I’m going to pull out the studies, but read the whole thing.
To be clear, I’m not accusing anyone of being rapist, I’m agreeing with this post, that says rape is prevalent because of the system that we support.

Domestic abuse is curbed by changing deeply held beliefs about men’s send of entitlement.
Violence against women is rooted in gender inequality.
She also points out the lack of references to any of this in the major media about Epstein.
And there many women quoted and linked near the end that are talking about it, so, let’s listen to them.
Patriarchy is the only system there is! It’s the same everywhere on earth. If rape exists because of the patriarchy, then it is here to stay.
Language doesn’t change what we do. Only laws and customs can somewhat change what we do. But laws and customs can’t remove the natural differences between people.
Inequality exists simply because of nature. You mentally ill leftists will never, ever, ever, be able to change that fact.
Prove it !!! Prove that, by nature, men are superior to women.
You realize the world is different than it was 100 years ago, right?
Its insulting you call these two - leftists
Revolution, specially Marxist one suppose three conditions
- respect of the facts , rather than ideology
- the concrete analysis of concrete situations, without the use of ideological glasses
- a dialectic method, supposing the ability to perceive nuances, and analyzing the power dynamics, the contradictions, not looking at the world with preconceived ideas, in black and white.
We can spend a lifetime hairsplitting political labels, but most people can describe their views accurately enough. It doesn’t have to be perfect.
On that note – one very leftist thing you all have in common is purity spiraling.
I said men are different from women – not always superior to women.
Our behavior is the same. Men and women have the same exact characteristics today that we had 5,000 years ago.
For example, the only reason women have careers today is because some men forced them into that lifestyle 50 years ago. It’s not because women’s nature suddenly changed.
Yeah, sure. Women were in charge of nations and led armies 5,000 years ago too.
This is why there are clouds of burning oil in the sky now. It’s why it’s 110F in March.
Are you sure that black people are not natural slave, and were freed only because some white men forced them to become free?
I shock you ? You never said that ? I agree, but why do you think that, by nature, women are domed to home service and submission, and men are naturally made for business and so?
Yes, men and women are different, but the domination of patriarchy does not come from nature, but from an historical, social process.
"Patriarchy is like a man, having his boot on a woman’s neck.
Feminism is a woman complaining about the boot.
Conservatives insist there wasn’t a problem with the boot being on the neck until the woman started talking about it. If she would just be quiet about the boot, there wouldn’t be a problem .
Male allies think there’s a way to talk about the boot being on the neck that appeals to everyone and doesn’t “alienate” those that would help remove the boo t.
“Good Guys” insist that not all men wear boo ts.
Women with internalized misogyny insist they have a boot on their neck by choice and they love it! They insist something is wrong with women complaining about the b oot.
The boot is never removed from the n eck."

Evolution has selected for women to have babies. That’s why women are suited for the home.
As for patriarchy – it has been the norm throughout all of human history. There can’t be any other reason besides nature.
Very, very few throughout history, and they were monarchs which are completely different from the liberal view of leadership.
Why don’t you blame moldy bread on the patriarchy too.
But in a way it’s sort of true because women in the workforce has greatly increased consumerism and pollution.
Women are suited to bear babies, yes. Does it condemn them to stay home ? There are civilizations in which men also care for children.
Yes patriarchy has been the norm, since the neolithic revolution, but not an absolute general one.
