  • I don’t do hate. I do frustration. I do exasperation. I do pragmatism. I do pain

    I don’t do hate. I do frustration. I do exasperation. I do pragmatism. I do painful realism. But I don’t do hate. Like fear, hate is a mind-killer, and it rots you from the inside out. Instead, identification > recognition > choice > determination > planning > struggling > making it happen. In many ways, indulging your emotions is a means of doing nothing and congratulating yourself for it.

    What Would Happen In An All Female Society?

    Curt.
    Question:

    –“1) All human males have been eradicated. 2) They master and can maintain the infrastructure for healthy sexual reproduction (using artificial genetic recombination) of exclusively more females.
    Given feminine cognitive biases and ternary logic, is a societal equilibrium possible? If so, what allows (or would allow) an equilibrium to exist, and how does the nature of status incentives, future history, the economy, governance and social organization, institutions, norms, the distribution of the application of the three methods of coercion, conflict and warfare, and especially geopolitics change? (in essence, what kind of equilibrium would emerge and a comprehensive account of the dynamics of such equilibrium).
    Also, how does the percentage of women on their periods on any given day influence the nature of the dependent variables stated above?
    Thank you.
    Suki”-
    Suki — excellent thought-experiment. It operationalizes what happens when we remove the male cognitive and coercive pattern entirely. Let’s run it under Natural Law: full accounting of demonstrated interests, reciprocity, and decidability.
    1. Definitions (so we test the same thing)
    • Feminine cognition (modal distribution): Higher neuroticism, agreeableness, verbal/social intelligence; lower systematizing/spatial; bias toward immediate empathy, risk-externalization (“someone else pays”), and short time-preference in commons. Coercion via GSRM (gossip, shaming, rallying, moralizing) instead of direct violence.
    • Ternary logic: “Both/and + context + feelings” relational processing vs. male binary true/false decidability. Produces nuance but high undecidability at scale — can’t falsify costs via empirical test.
    • Equilibrium: Sustainable low-friction cooperation producing surplus (tech, defense, innovation) without external subsidy or collapse.
    2. Is equilibrium possible?Short-term and small-scale: yes — like existing matrilineal societies (Mosuo, Minangkabau, Khasi). They persist at village/clan level via kin selection and female property transmission. Civilizational scale (billions, infrastructure, geopolitics): no. Without male variance (IQ tails, aggression, long-term abstraction), the system cannot maintain the physical/competitive substrate. Reproduction is technically solved (artificial), but everything else regresses. History shows zero true matriarchies (women running defense, heavy production, large-scale war). All “female-led” examples rely on male muscle or external protection.
    3. What kind of equilibrium emerges — and how the variables changeThe society stabilizes at low-surplus, kin-based, high-internal-drama matrilineal clans (think amplified Mosuo + Umoja village on a planetary scale). Dynamics:
    • Status incentives: Pure social capital via gossip networks and victimhood hierarchies. No male “hero/provider” status — prestige from emotional manipulation, alliance-building, and shaming. High conformity pressure; outliers (high-systematizing women) get excluded as “cold.”
    • Future history: Cyclical and relational. Narratives center on interpersonal betrayals, emotional legacies, and “healing” rather than conquest, discovery, or civilizational arcs. No grand projects; progress stalls.
    • Economy: Service/care/relational sectors dominate. Heavy industry, infrastructure maintenance, large-scale logistics, and frontier tech collapse (male spatial + risk-taking tails gone). Trade shrinks to local barter; innovation rate plummets. Artificial reproduction becomes a massive state burden — dysgenic selection toward “easy” genetics.
    • Governance and social organization: Consensus-seeking paralysis. Ternary logic + pathos produces endless moralizing debates with no decisive resolution. Institutions become therapy circles or shaming tribunals. Norms: extreme emotional surveillance (“vibe checks” as law). High-agency women rise briefly, then get torn down by coalitions.
    • Institutions and norms: Family = matrilineal clans. Education = relational empathy training. Law = restorative “feelings” justice (no strict tort/restitution). Religion/myth = goddess cycles and emotional unity.
    • Distribution of coercion: 100% GSRM. No male physical violence monopoly — instead, psychological warfare, ostracism, rumor campaigns. Conflict resolution = endless talking circles that externalize costs.
    • Conflict and warfare: Internal only — feuds via exclusion, psychological attrition, sabotage. No standing armies or territorial conquest (no male aggression specialization). Wars of maneuver impossible; “wars” become total social ostracism campaigns.
    • Geopolitics: None externally (all-female planet). Internally: balkanization into thousands of feuding emotional enclaves. No global coordination — infrastructure grids fail within generations. The species survives at pre-industrial equilibrium, vulnerable to any external shock (asteroid, climate, AI remnant).
    4. How menstrual cycles influence the dependent variablesOn any given day, ~3-4% are menstruating, but luteal/PMS phase (hormonal volatility) affects 15-25%+ with measurable spikes in neuroticism, emotion dysregulation, impulsivity, and conflict proneness (studies on cyclical mood, suicidality, decision volatility).
    Result: periodic instability multiplier. Policy swings every ~7-14 days as “mood clusters” align. Governance becomes even more erratic — short-term empathy raids followed by regret. Economy: higher absenteeism, risk-aversion. Conflict: gossip waves intensify. Ternary logic amplifies it (“I feel both ways”). Net: the system never escapes low-level chaos; equilibrium is fragile and regressive.
    5. Bottom lineThis experiment proves the computational necessity of sexual dimorphism under Natural Law. Feminine cognition excels in small-scale relational maintenance. Male cognition supplies the violence, abstraction, and long-horizon accounting that scales civilization. Remove one — equilibrium collapses to subsistence drama.
    The stable solution isn’t all-female or all-male. It’s reciprocal sovereignty: demonstrated interests, sex-specialized roles, multi-house institutions (one containing pathos inputs), and full cost accounting. Mixed-sex polities with Natural Law filters (responsibility, net contribution) are the only configuration that passes the test.
    The heckling in Congress you hear? That’s the modal outcome without male counterbalance.
    Happy to run variations (e.g., high-agency female subset only) or cite the underlying studies on cooperation/decision differences.
    Cheers

    AFAIK the difference is in demand for responsibility or its absence and male-female and conservative-progressive values mirror that foundation.

    The extant work on facets which are reducible to sex differences in the big5/6. With facets and an explanation of sex differences in perception, valence, and cognition further resolution appears of limited value.

    I don’t see the value of these attributes (categories). If you could explain it I’d appreciate it.

    Thanks.

    I’m the opposite. In some way’s I’m envious. Because the great steam-powered autistic machine in my head never, ever stops working – and the way I achieve peace is by giving it something to work on that’s constructive rather than randomly seeking something that isn’t always so.

    You’re presuming equality among your peers, even those who agree with you and are willing to bear the same responsibility. But nearly everyone is a bot following the path of least resistance in relation to their priors.

  • The Manipulated Man Book by Esther Vilar The Manipulated Man is a controversial

    The Manipulated Man
    Book by Esther Vilar
    The Manipulated Man is a controversial 1971 book by Esther Vilar that argues women are not oppressed but instead manipulate men through sex, emotional blackmail, and traditional roles to secure provision and a comfortable life, with men being the ones who are truly controlled. Vilar claims women use praise, sex, and emotional displays to control men, who work and provide while women consume and languish, and that men must recognize this manipulation to achieve true equality. The book, originally written in German, became a bestseller and sparked significant debate, with Vilar maintaining that little has changed since its publication.

    Core arguments
    Manipulation, not oppression: Vilar’s central thesis is that women are not victims but are in control, using subtle and overt tactics to manipulate men.
    Tools of manipulation: She identifies praise, sex, and emotional blackmail (dramatized emotional reactions) as key tools women use to control men.
    Gender roles: The book posits that men work and think, while women consume and languish, with women choosing to let men provide for them in exchange for sex and praise.
    Marriage as a trap: Vilar argues that marriage is a trap for men, coerced by women under the guise of romance, and that men gain little from it.

    Reception and intent
    Controversial:The book was a sensation and earned Vilar severe criticism, but she intended it as a call for honesty between the sexes, not misogyny.
    A call to action:Vilar concludes that men must recognize and openly criticize this dynamic for real change to occur, as women are unlikely to give up their advantageous position.
