Pandora and Eve : Were the ancients right about women?

 

For thousands of years, women were treated like second class citizens. They were marginalised from politics. Their place was in the kitchen and the bedroom. Myths and religions were used to justify the suppression of women. From the pulpit, religious leaders blamed women for the fall of mankind, the banishment of man from Paradise. Then in the 20th century women were given the vote and treated as equal citizens. 

Now about a hundred years after the success of feminism many are starting to regret giving women the vote and a voice in politics. Was it a mistake to give women freedom? Were the ancients who wrote about Pandora and Eve right along? Let's discuss and look at both sides. The misogynist stance goes something like this feminism has brought about high divorce rates which leads to broken homes which leads to dysfunctional and wayward children which leads to a broken society.  They say women's sexual liberation has brought about millions of abortion, low birth rates, single parent homes because women fuck bad boys, sexually transmitted diseases, pornography, prostitution, Only Fans digital hookers etc. Look at the Catholic church for example, it is the most enduring institution in the world because women are sidelined from decision making positions. People like Andrew Tate argue that the west has fallen because white men listen to their women. And women are essentially children and to listen to them brings about societal breakdown. Men are responsible for civilisation, they build cities and fight wars. Women are just baby making factories so why should they have a voice in a world built by men? There are cries to repeal the 19th amendment and to put women back in their place. Once women can no longer vote everything will go back into place and sanity will be restored. 

                                                    

Perhaps the Muslims are right to keep their women modestly dressed and chaste. Muslim fathers dont have to worry about their daughters becoming the next Lily Phillips or Bonnie Blue. And Muslim fathers are allowed to do honour killing on naughty girls. Islam keeps women chaste and forbids them from marrying infidels. Women in Muslim countries are forbidden from doing abortions which means the birth rate remains high. Furthermore women sidelined from politics thus they cannot bring their immaturity and emotions into government. In the west women feel sorry for migrants and allow them to flood in. Not so in the Musllim world. Muslim men dont have to worry about marrying a women with three digit body counts and dont have to live in fear of adultery and divorce theft. Why because adultery is punishable by death. Maybe western civilisation becoming Islamic wont be the worst thing in the world. A Muslim Europe means no more abortions, pornography, prostitution, high divorce rates, low fertility rates, race mixing, Only Fans and all the other ills that feminism has brought into the world.

Can Islam solve all the West's problems?

White Sharia now?

On the other hand, myths like Eve and Pandora are used to explain why there is so much evil in the world. But maybe it is a case of the accusation being a confession. Most wars and crimes are committed by men. Prisons are full of criminal men who contribute nothing to society. Some will argue that marginalising women from politics makes no sense if the average man is a dunce as well. Churchill said the best arguement against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter. Maybe the best way forward is to sideline most men and women from politics and to let kings or priests or military generals lead the way. 

So which way man? Back to patriarchal society or onward with feminism? According to writers like Leonard Shlain the emancipation of women is a result of how our brains work. In the video below he describes how the rise of literacy led to misogyny and how in recent years we have become more visual and this has led to feminism and gender equality. I cannot fully explain it so watch the video.

And here is his book if you want to read it

Writers like Edward Dodge put forward the idea that the worship of the feminine was man's original religion and feminism, homosexuality, prostitution are completely normal. Here is a link to his book

Here is an interesting video where Edward Dodge explains his ideas

In my opinion myths and legends were written by men. Had women written Genesis and Greek myths they would have depicted god as a woman and men as responsible for the problems of the world. I have written a few books where I play around with the idea of goddesses and a female centric religion. Link below.

And here is a collection of poems and praises to the earth goddess Gaia if you are into that sort of thing.

So what does the future hold for feminism and gender equality? It seems like the sexual arms race will continue forever. However, with Muslims migrating in large numbers into the west, the flame of feminism might be extinguished and women will be dragged from the boardrooms and back into the bedrooms. Only time will tell.
