Today's video was the extrapolation upon a tweet of two days ago.
.@PageauJonathan 's most popular video lays out the case that the irony of much feminist activism is the loss of cultural value of the feminine.
Here's a clip version of his argument.
"Strong female role models" have been undermining the cultural stock of the feminine. As a culture we have been celebrating women's achievement of masculine cultural values.
It is a deep irony that for ALL the anxiety, conversation and concern around "gender" there has been relatively little cultural analysis of masculinity and femininity as such beyond stigmatizing some expressions of masculinity as "toxic".
For a while now we have been culturally encouraging women to pursue masculine status markers thus elevating masculinity as such while giving very mixed messages to men with respect to their expressing masculinity.
By definition of the two symbolic domains men are naturally prone to excel in the masculine and women in the feminine. The two symbolic domains emerge from sexual dimorphism.
Men are capable of expressing feminine values and women are capable of expressing masculine values, it's just generally speaking the sexual dimorphism equips the two sexes to excel differently even though there is considerable overlap.
The tweet and the video grew out of my video a couple of days ago about the boy crisis and the marriage crisis.
While women can and will perform and compete in masculine values and virtues in various spheres their outcomes will differ from men's outcomes. This has been repeated lauded by memes like "if women ruled the world"... but nearly immediately rhetorically contradicted by the denialism by the agenda to destroy "the gender binary". Men and women are the same but women are better. This is double-speak 101. Men often agree with this because it serves them to for masculine reasons.
As we continue to make "progress" encouraging women to excel in masculine expressions and endeavors outcome differences will emerge. It's not hard to see that there will develop a denialism around admitting those outcomes.
When the outcomes can't be denied they will be waved away as a sort of systemic bias encouraging an intensification of the agenda until the double-speak eschatological vision is achieved.
Systemic equality will be achieved resulting in the supremacy of females expressing the masculine at the same time the gender binary has destroyed the category of male and female. Yeah, try to hold those two images together...
I might be doing a commentary on this video.
I think it gets a lot of things right but I'll have some critique too unsurprisingly.
It should come as no surprise that there is opposition to the new regime coming from both men and women. Men are increasingly asked to selectively sublimate their masculinity, which isn't itself new, but some of the new forms undermine past cultural achievements like monogamy.
Women have also been pressured into competing in both masculine and feminine expressions at once. All of this while, via first mass media and now social media, they are driven to be both hyper-masculine (the billionaire CEO) and hyper-feminine (the sex doll)
The most powerful current archetypal woman is now @KimKardashian {{ img:0752a6 }} She is cultural Galadriel.
Can we see why men are frustrated and women exhausted and exasperated. The only cultural prescription is MORE. More beauty, more power, more Instagram. Men are checking out. Women are burning out. Marriages can't hold. Families are fiction.
I doubt that any modern day feminist or for that matter any progressive male feminist could even define masculinity and femininity in the classic or philosophical sense..
It's interesting to watch you wrestle with your deep progressive indoctrination and the obvious destruction that many of these ideas are manifesting....
We don't have time to do a deep dive into the nature of the feminine. I will just say that Christ dying on the cross was not a masculine move and yet it transformed the entire world. Women have been sold the lie that only the masculine makes a difference... And both sexes are reaping the whirlwind.
