    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2417942/Im-single-50-Why-Men-hate-brainier-says-KATE-MULVEY.htmlACTUALLY, WE LOVE SMART WOMEN.

    We just prefer they’re feminine.

    There are plenty of smart men in the world. But they aren’t feminine either. The scarce thing for men is femininity, not intelligence. Smart men are surrounded by other smart men. And frankly, given that men tend to talk in facts, not experiences, they’re a lot less work to understand, and far more interesting for ‘intelligent conversation’.

    I mean, seriously? Why do we need another masculine, competitive, unattractive person in our lives? Women are expensive. They cost us a great deal of effort and money. We must constantly compromise our desires for theirs. Why would we do that without getting femininity in return?

    Femininity in any woman that pays attention to us is the ultimate scarcity. Intelligence on the other hand, is a commodity. It isn’t scarce. Intelligent people pay attention to us all the time.

    Femininity sells. Nesting sells. Care-taking sells. Period. That’s just the data. We have tons of data now. It all says the same thing. Femininity sells. Everything else is a nice-to-have. You cant sell a nice-to-have on its own.

    Femininity is what beauty means. And every woman is capable of it. In fact, it’s pretty hard to avoid being feminine unless you actively try to suppress it.

    Did I say ‘feminine’ enough times yet?

    Women in my generation got screwed in life. Or didn’t. … er… Whatever…. sigh.

    LIKE IVE BEEN SAYING

    Solipsism on one end, and autism on the other.

    ON INTROVERTS

    “the behaviors of introverts and extroverts are due to differences in cortical arousal (the speed and amount of the brain’s activity). Compared with extroverts, introverts have naturally high cortical arousal, and may process more information per second.

    This means, essentially, that if you put introverts into an environment with a lot of stimulation, such as a loud restaurant, they will quickly become overwhelmed or overloaded, causing them to sort of shut down to stop the influx of information. Because of this fact, introverts tend to avoid such active environments. Extroverts, on the other hand, are only minimally aroused, so they seek out highly stimulating environments to augment their arousal levels.”

    FASCINATING REPRODUCTIVE STATISTICS

    I tell women, who, because of chick status signals, want to be tall, that they should appreciate the fact that contrary to popular belief, the most attractive women are short fit Brunettes. And shot brunettes are genetically superior.

    A) males are attracted to femininity even if they are awed by shiny things. I wont get into femininity here but

    B) short brunettes are in higher demand and are taken out of the market faster by men who are greater caretakers. ( which is why I never get one.)

    B) Short cute women have a LOT more children. Sufficiently more to form a selection bias. I wont go into why. But some if it is reinforcement from signals. In other words they’re less likely to demonstrate masculine behavior.

    If you want a woman who will make money, go for a taller attractive (even fake) blonde. If you want a woman to propagate your genes, go for a cute short brunette.

    Liberals quite literally are a dying breed. That much selfishness is bad for reproduction. 😉

    Conservatives are breeding slightly faster. But not fast enough to compete with immigration of people’s from low trust societies.

    Just thought this was a bit if fun. 🙂

  • MATRILINEALITY IN BONOBOS IS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THEY AREN’T INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO

    MATRILINEALITY IN BONOBOS IS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THEY AREN’T INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO HAVE PROPERTY – BUT

    The goal of Feminism is to restore female control over society by sexual exchange rather than property rights. And to do so by eliminating property rights. (Which in feminist terms means ‘sharing equal responsibility for children’.) And to eliminate property rights through Incremental socialism. Using majority rule where they have the numbers.

    (Dear ladies, no need to read this and get mad at me. I’m for equal rights. But not for female privilege, or equal outcome. )

    Maternal societies are statistically insignificant, tend to be outcasts from larger more successful societies, have very small populations, and are dirt poor.

    Pacifist, sedentary, earth worshipping, matrilineal agrarianism was natural to western europeans – and so was small-size, short life spans, and low birth weights.

    Innovative, mobile, expansionist, sun-worshipping, pastoralist paternalism was the INNOVATION that made regular access to meat, Reason, Science, technology and the CONCENTRATION OF CAPITAL possible.

    Women don’t concentrate capital. They favor the uniform tyranny of equalitarianism. They want the economy to be based upon sex and affection, not productivity. That’s why “equality” is the cause of poverty. The incentives are for sex not for production.

    The depth of where this argument goes will demonstrate why evolution tested both models and the masculine model survived the test.

    The Fact is, that the intellectual reformation currently in progress is demonstrating in every discipline that both postmodern and feminist dogma consists of ideological argument unsupported by the the data.

    Period.

    People choose prosperity (freedom to choose to consume) in all circumstances. That is the test of ‘happiness’. Not survey data. Not subjective judgement. If it relies upon survey data, or subjective interpretation rather than demonstrated preference then it is not science. It’s propaganda.

    We have to forgive Jill Hamilton, who writes otherwise titillating chick-pop articles that cross into male interest because she is not an academic or public intellectual. She must find material that catches eyeballs. Thats her job, and as readers its the job we want her to do.

    But as an eyeball catcher, one must be somewhat cautious, if not infinitely skeptical of academic propaganda.

    Jill could have positioned this book as questionable but fun to consider, without personally committing to support of it or its ideas. And in doing so both caught eyeballs and preserved her journalistic credibility.

    It’s not understood by journalists (who aren’t generally from the top of the class by the way) that the number of academic papers and books that survive scrutiny is minuscule, and almost all of them – at least with regard to the big questions – are produced by a handful of intellectuals at our most prestigious universities.

    The current exception is probably Jonathan Haidt who, from Virginia has reformed most of our understanding of political morality. But assuming he continues he’ll end up teaching at the top ten at some point.

    But we must keep in mind that the entire feminist and progressive programs were based on work by women like Jane Goodall and her followers who told us how nice primates were in nature. When in fact, that entire generation’s work in the study of nature and of anthropology was universally false. Chimps are brutal raping predatory murderers. In fact, the only animal that shares our understanding of intentionality, or our social structure, is the domestic dog.

    Feminism, liberalism and postmodernism are simply the names we have given to communism and socialism now that those two programs have failed in both theory and practice.

    “Chimps are brutal raping predatory murderers”

    Wait..you miss on bonobos,it’s a matriarch,very promiscuous,less violent than chimps and the closest DNA related to humans.We’re heading for that future(possible).I’m sure feminist are very happy if humans are more like bonobos.

    =========

    TO: AFIQ SYAMIM SALLEH

    FROM : CURT DOOLITTLE

    Good point. But bonobos don’t have, and aren’t capable of, establishing property and a division of labor.

    It’s property and the division of labor that creates both prosperity and Paternalism by removing reproductive control from the female exchange of sex and affection under hunting and gathering, to the exchange of property for the purpose of coordinating production, and forcing reproduction to be based upon productivity and innovation.

    Most feminist academics know this, as well as did the Marxists, since Engels wrote about it in the 19th century.

    It’s not that females are in control that makes Bonobos maternalistic, it’s that they lack the intelligence and ability to coordinate their actions in a division of knowledge and labor.

    Cooperation among apes is unique to man. Period. The idea of apes helping one another is…. impossible. Absurd.

    Yet it is possible for dogs.

    Just to make feminists frustrated now and then with their fantasies, I tend to remind them that while there are no female jack the rippers, the most fruitful serial killer was indeed female. And while you once and awhile get a Curie, you’ll never get a female Newton.

    Maternalism is regression to primitivism. Paternalism was an evolution. An evolution made possible by the development of property.
