THE COSTLY FEMININE EXPERIENCE OF REALITY AND THE INSUFFICIENCY OF OUR LANGUAGE

(worth repeating)(revised and expanded)

It is extremely difficult to translate subjective experiential feminine language into rational and scientific masculine language. Which is something that is often agonized over by feminist philosophers. One of the things I like about propertarianism is that it is possible to translate feminine experiential language into a neutral medium.

But it is impossible to capture the fact that emotions are COSTLY for women and their reactions UNCONTROLLABLE or overwhelming. So while we see women as absurd creatures it is because we do not appreciate the effort and therefore the cost that women feel they bear in managing them.

Our language, developed largely for men, and by men, does not account for this burden. I think if it did, it would go a long way to improving inter-gender understanding of the vast differences between the male and female experiences of life that are not captured in our language.

That does not mean we should tolerate the diminution of our language into postmodern or worse devolutions, but it does me that we should develop a language for the rational description of the female experience so that we are aware of their costs.

Because of this high cost of emotions, women use verbal deceits to morally justify the transfer of emotional costs from the self to the rest of society.

Meanwhile, men, who have developed a multitude of institutions to control and suppress their equally expensive to control emotions of violence somehow are taken for granted. We exert equal control, but we have had 50K years to develop institutional means of directing our aggressiveness and competition to productive ends.

As yet women have not found a way to devote their emotions to constructive ends. Instead, they have – or at least single women have – in large part voted to destroy civilization by the systematic attack on property, family, and marriage that makes the compromise between the gender’s possible despite our differences in reproductive strategy.

Language would help women articulate the cost of their experience and allow the genders to engage in exchanges to assist them, rather than lies and rents in order to justify them.
