Re: Aldous Huxley's Young Archimedes

It looks as though you have yet to identify ultra-masculinity. That is, the relationship between the characteristics of the wise, and most men. When a person becomes wise, and familiar with those traits, then they will start seeing femininity in most people, in varying degrees. ...it's not possible...

Re: The Woman's World

Woman is a social animal, man has to live in a society. Hence his intentions seem to her as a worthless pursuit of power, an ego-fuelled need to establish himself for.... for what? What can she come up with? You will have noticed that women scoff at men who engage in these pursuits and scorn those ...

Re: The Woman's World

What feminists usually call "freedom" is really a kind of prostitution - a desire for power, money and sexual profligacy within a man-built environment. This sounds like what many men would regard as freedom as well. Generally, when you probe a little more deeply into what anyone's notion...

Re: Aldous Huxley's Young Archimedes

In Island, probably his most interesting work, he shows that he was deeply drawn to a childlike form of unconsciousness, as offered in drugs. In other words, Huxley himself had a large component of feminine-mindedness in himself, and this is why his soulmate was a maternal figure. He wanted to esca...

Re: Aldous Huxley's Young Archimedes

Many of his stories show enchantment with an ideal, ethereal, otherworldly female redeemer. "Island" shows clearly his two recurrent female characters: the mindless, selfish prostitute, and the childlike, magician-nurse. In "Young Archimedes", the narrator's wife is somewhat lik...

Hmmm. You know what strikes me as epitomizing what seems to be a statistical census about woman.

I was observing that women are quite capable of of nursing a hatred over time, all the while adding to its intensity. My view is that women are just as equipped to focus intense hatred as men are, maybe more so, since hatred is generally irrational.

A lot of screaming, shouting, etc. isn't focused and intense hatred. Yes, I know that - I wasn't talking about screaming and shouting, although intense hatred can lead to things like that. We should treat women(and on a larger scale, all people) like the human beings that they may become, even if t...

Re: The Woman's World

This is why women can't be said to have "delusions" in the strictest sense, since they are not conscious enough to be wrong about something. Women tend not to have the capacity for intense, focused hatred(or love.) You are implying that women's hatred tends to lack the rational basis whic...

Many homosexuals like to "bad mouth" the opposite sex because they want to create ill will between the sexes. (To learn some of the sexist jokes homosexuals like to tell, and some of their racist jokes, see the book More Man Than You'll Ever Be by Joseph Goodwin, Indiana U Press, 1989.) F...

Quite insightful, Anders. There is an old aphorism about college degrees which echoes this: B.S. = Bull Shit. M.S. = More Shit. PhD = Piled Higher and Deeper.

It's normal for almost all men to have some hatred for women when telling the truth about women. But these men are really hating the passive, sexual and feminine nature in themselves, and so they're actually blaming themselves(whether they know it clearly or not). But hatred, as the term is most co...

Evidently not thoroughly enough. Does it say we must imitate the baser behavior of the opposite sex?
