Woman Boxer Quits

are we at the tipping point yet, ladies

Well, an Italian girl boxer at the Olympics just quit after 45 seconds in the ring with a… well, not exactly female boxer. “Non è giusto. Non è giusto!” she cried.

Couldn’t agree more.

So, is this the phase shift in the Arc of Gender, going back to dear Mary Wollstonecraft, the World’s First Feminist and author of Vindication of the Rights of Women?

Actually, Mary’s life foretold what was coming. Liberated woman that she was, she was pumped and dumped by a couple of guys before hooking up with good-guy William Godwin, who married her and raised her child Mary after she died in childbirth. Mary became Mary Shelley and author of Frankenstein. It is said that Frankenstein is a reflection on life with poets Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley. But who knows?

Are we at the gender equivalent of the Lagrange point?

My point is simple. Women are not the equal of men and never will be. Women and men are different. Period, full stop.

And in most things that matter, women leave men in the dust. They are better at cooperating in the community, at reading other people, at putting up with children, at being woke DEI administrators. Only, they are not as good at being war leaders, creating businesses, raw strength, and competition. But really, who cares?

For men, as James Bowman says in Honor: a History, honor is about courage. A man us judged by his courage. As Worcester says to King Henry in Henry IV, Part I:

It was myself, my brother, and his son
That brought you home and boldly did outdare
The dangers of the time.

Were they right or wrong? Doesn’t matter. The point is that they had the courage to dare.

So when advanced minds insist on the liberation of women into the public square, they are missing the point. Women do not have the strength, the courage, and the will to compete in the public square.

But whatabout women? The fundamental thing about women is that “women expect to be protected.” Why? Because women are on this Earth to bear children, and raise children to adulthood. And to successfully bear children and raise them she needs to be protected.

Don’t like that? No problem. But, face it: you just don’t get it.

We — we westerners — have depreciated the bearing and raising of children. It is somehow less worthy than a career, or creativity. And, lo and behold, as we have devalued childbearing, western women have produced fewer children. Isn’t that odd.

But I say that the most creative thing a human can do in this world is to create children.

Oh yes, there are women geniuses out there; they are incandescent. But the average woman that forgoes an extra child to pursue a career is kidding herself if she thinks that career is more important than children. And, incidentally, the same is true for men.

Even Elon Musk. He is said to have a bunch of children with a bunch of women. But how much fathering does he do? And what’s the point of Occupying Mars if you neglect your children?

At some point the whole modern thing of women being the exact equal to men and competing with men in the public square is going to collapse.

Don’t know how, don’t know when.

But I tell you this. Men, and women, and children, and human society will be the better for it.
