“It is better to dwell in a wilderness, than with a quarrelsome and passionate woman.” – Proverbs 21:19
They say that the spring is when a young man’s fancy turns to love. Autumn, however, mercifully permits him the splendid reclamation of his senses, and never a moment too soon. As long as you realize the folly of pursuing romance in a collapsing civilization, you’ll enjoy at least some marginal preparation for a desolate winter along with all of its chastisements.
In order to do so, you must ignore all the propaganda, often emanating from traditionalists, who believe men should “man up,” address their feebleness, and woo those distressed “traditional” damsels pining away for suitors. After all, don’t we always hear from the church pulpit that men are the primary, secondary, and tertiary perpetrators of all our troubles, and societal renewal is just within our grasp once enough of them arise and establish traditional households?
That would be delightful were it not for women, even many professed traditional gals, who have made themselves spectacularly unmarriageable and insufferable in extended company. Worse, we could say they are far more virulently anti-traditional, anti-family, self-absorbed, and deranged than even today’s effeminate men.
Perhaps, we might investigate just how many of those distressed damsels genuinely wish to marry, introduce stability and familial flourishing into their lives, and re-pave the foundation for a societal renaissance? Here you should discover how much of an obstacle women are to such ambitions.
In case you missed it, women (who tend to be leftist) now dominate the anti-marriage movement by a growing margin, contrastable to men’s slowly burgeoning eagerness for family life. While the data reflects the plight of society at-large, damaged and secular as it is, young women suffer from an even more pronounced arrested development, one that seems almost deliberate. Either way, the numbers do not allow for every aspiring husband to find a wife, given how so many potential bridal candidates detest the idea entirely.
Women are the clear warriors of all the pro-death elements, ranging from immodesty and abortion to acceptance of homosexualism, resource-draining socialism, and child-free living. If nothing else, plenty of other data demonstrates how they’re now the only ones able to secure a job, something they relish far more than the obvious advantages of returning to traditional gender roles.
So much for women being the heart of a household, the ones wishing to eschew selfish hedonism in favor of the greater communal good. Now, they lead the league in marriage aversion, enough so that we might dub them confirmed bachelorettes.
You even see value inconsistencies on Catholic dating sites, supposedly featuring women who would want to marry, yet a huge proportion of them approve of and encourage premarital sex. Back in the day, women were still the “gatekeepers” and restrainers against mindless fornication. Today, they facilitate it with enormous enthusiasm (though this has declined among the vaccinated and “asexual” Gen Zers), while operating as shrewd entrepreneurial sex workers on platforms like OnlyFans.
I intend, in this article, to explain why certain men are responsible for the horrible state of both modern women and men. However, it is imperative for us to acknowledge that women are now the more miserable belligerents because society has granted them almost universal impunity for every loathsome behavior imaginable.
In economics, we know of a parallel concept called “moral hazard,” which explains how and why businesses become exuberant and almost entirely irrational whenever the state signals to them that they will receive a bailout if they reach insolvency. It’s a matter of removing all risk by first eliminating all consequences for poor investments since someone (the state) will always rescue them on a rainy day. Then, they become drunk on cheap credit, leading them into risky and destructive business practices.
The same dynamic exists with today’s women, having succumbed to the moral hazard of total unaccountability, contributing to all their Jezebelian personages: “daddy’s little princess,” “girl boss,” “diva,” and, of course, “Little Miss, Little Miss, Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong.” We might re-name that last one “Little Miss, Little Miss, Little Miss Can Be a Narcissist.
I shall demonstrate with ease how women can be habitually wrong, cultivating vicious consequences for everyone around them, and that their errors have made a hellscape out of modern civilization, particularly in the domain of male/female relations.
Single Moms: Societal Wreckers & Producers of Useless Men
We could begin the analysis of this disaster by exploring several independent variables. It’s awful and comprehensive enough that books have been devoted to singular factors like the three waves of feminism, the implementation of so-called women’s suffrage and political participation, and even Vatican II’s destructive impact on Catholic culture since the 60s.
Focusing on women’s role in their particular collapse, I’d be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge the single mom scourge and just how vicious and cyclical it has become. Single moms, who brazenly show no shame over it, are a tremendous part of the problem since they continually beget all the carjackers, fentanyl pushers, pajama boys, and every other manifold loser male.
Many social scientists and commentators fixate on the “cycle of poverty,” failing to realize that it’s a cycle of broken homes and single motherhood that sustains this inter-generational misery (worst of all among blacks). It doesn’t take a whole-hearted adherence to “manosphere” ideology to realize this. Basic empiricism and a disavowal of vapid mainstream narratives will suffice well enough.
In 1960, less than 10% of households were led by a single parent, whereas today, about one in four children live with just one parent, often a divorce-rapist woman or one who accidentally birthed them out of wedlock. That’s an astounding figure when you consider the simultaneous explosion in abortion rates over that same period. Had those abortions not occurred, the lopsided single mother stats would be even more staggering.
Where does the single mom phenomenon originate?
Social engineering is an important catalyst, but I believe economic engineering was what got the ball rolling. Were it not for the Federal Reserve, taxes, regulations, handouts, the Great Society, and all the other manipulations, we wouldn’t have such an exorbitant volume of single moms. For that matter, we would never have had all the other dismal conditions that weakened men, including those who grew up in stable nuclear-family households.
To confound things even further, guess who we have to thank for most of those horrible government regulations, which are completely antithetical to stable, organic societies? Who voted for most of that rubbish?
It was women! Women, while cultivating their precious suffrage privileges, have hastened economic tyranny unparalleled throughout history.
Men, despite their flaws and inability to control women any longer, rarely vote for politicians who campaign on ridiculous promises for safety nets, economic regulation, or higher taxation. Men think rationally, while women, left to their own devices (as single mothers are), do everything to the contrary.
I’ll return to the economics and government in a later section, but once we understand the single-mom ubiquity in Western countries, along with its dire consequences, the next step is to examine the psychology behind a super-majority of these civilization-wrecking females. Think about this the next time someone screams “Do it for the children.” We should indeed emancipate all youngsters, in whatever way possible, from sadistic, bipolar, post-partumed sociopathic mothers.
Women & Their Mental Illnesses: BPD, Bipolar, & Bisexual
Although I had explored mental illness in my article on marriage worthiness for traditionalists, we cannot complete a suitable discussion of modern women without reviewing their mental illnesses, which I summarize as the Three B’s: BPD, Bipolar, and Bisexual. Almost every woman under 40, especially if she is unwed, embraces one of these three.
I’ll explain what these are, but be assured that if you encounter women with any (or all) of these, then you should shun them with all your strength. God help you if your “girl boss” possesses just one of these veritable curses.
- Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) – I generally reject most modern psychology, but if we peruse some of the older psychological conditions, we might notice that BPD seems awfully close to the former condition known as Female Hysteria. It features all the erratic mood swings (love/hate mental dialectics) prominent among BPD women (who enjoy 75% of all diagnoses, according to mainstream psychologists who think I’m misogynistic for mentioning this). Alas, Female Hysteria no longer exists, per today’s shrinks, who do everything they can to grant women a pass through the BPD diagnosis. They do so with the intention of excusing them for their unwillingness to cope with anxiety, proneness to sexual promiscuity, comfort eating, and a host of other miserable deeds. Then again, even mainstream psychologists admit BPD corresponds with frequent outbursts or meltdowns, something you may have noticed on the rise lately. Although I wouldn’t rule out schizophrenia (or demonic possession) in some instances, many of the “women losing their minds” videos feature young ladies boasting of BPD diagnoses. Again, these are horrible rage fits, never before seen among women in the old days, except when understood through the lens of Female Hysteria.
- Bipolar Disorder – Behold the dreaded and incurable disorder that grants perfect impunity for people who vacillate often and dramatically between being semi-comatose (they prefer “depressed”) and about as hysterical (“maniacal”) as the BPD folks. In fact, one problem with these psychological designations, and modern psychology in general, is the inability to distinguish one from the other, leading to innumerable misdiagnoses and differential diagnoses. It’s a complete mess, made all the worse because today’s psychiatrists are little more than field clinicians. By now, I imagine these trained professionals base their treatment decisions on some AI program, perhaps QuackGPT, mixed with whatever the (B)DSM 5 manual instructs them to do. Either way, they like shortcuts, and so do I. Here’s one of my favorites: stay away from anyone (usually female) who announces they are bipolar.
- NOTE: I noticed in the midst of this “Fr. Ripperger silenced” saga that there was an accusation levied against the priest for improper psychiatric advice. Read into that what you will, but apparently, Fr. Ripperger insisted that one of his clients suffered from demonic obsession rather than what they presumed to be Bipolar Disorder. I’ll bet any money that his “silencing” happened after he suggested to some young semi-Catholic woman that her prized mental illness was nothing beyond demonic noises in her head. Indeed, as scripture and St. Augustine remind us, all the idols of the gentiles are demons, and when we idolize or extol fake maladies, they too become idols, packaged and delivered to us by none other than those rotten Satans from Hell.
- Bisexualism – Modern women under 40 (millennials and Gen Zers) love to announce their perverted sexual proclivities, primarily this bisexualism. It often stems from awful experiences with men (sometimes understandably) and/or a desire for attention. At its tamest, female bisexualism is yet another vector for attention seeking among young women who wish to impress the stupid and irrational men around them (especially if said men will buy them free drinks at the bar). Then again, many of the single moms also embrace bisexualism if not outright lesbianism, driven by their antipathy or hatred for men. Finally, I might say that bisexualism, along with all the other female-prone mental illnesses, seems to elicit a tremendous defense impulse among those afflicted with them whenever they receive criticism. We always have to be mindful not to “stigmatize” these folks, according to our perverted enemies in charge of things. Well, that should be your first clue that these mental illnesses, fragile as their victims are whenever they encounter opposition, are no better than papier mâché diagnoses for folks who wish to be different, appear special, or enjoy scapegoats for hideous misbehavior. I say, let the veil be lifted, and that women cease their deception with these fictitious afflictions.
Then, I suppose, given that it’s still a semi-fresh news story, I should mention everyone’s favorite millennial supermom, Lindsay Clancy. Which of these illnesses did she possess? Reports tell us that Lindsay had both Bipolar Disorder and postpartum psychosis, yet no public evidence of BPD or bisexualism. Maybe she has other psychological issues (almost beyond a doubt), but these are the ones we know.
She’s far from a rare case study either since many of the infamous women celebrities easily qualify for all three conditions/depravities: Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Amanda Bynes, Ariana Grande, Angelina Jolie, and dozens of others.
I don’t contend that these are the only mental conditions endemic among modern females, but that they are the primary ones. It is easy to happen across plenty of women with other deficiencies, such as narcissism, autism, histrionics, and whatever makes large women “eat their feelings” as they purport to do.
Then, if the mental illness charade isn’t enough, today’s warped social mores require us to acquit women of all culpability every time they drink themselves stupid and engage in whorish sexual activities they later regret. You never have to search long for fresh examples of this, including a somewhat recent incident where a young woman at Cornell University drank herself into a stupor before crying rape after some frat boys cajoled her into sex.
Apparently, the university elected to eliminate its fraternity parties (a good idea, for what it’s worth) after this alleged “gang rape” by men who “piled her with alcohol and drugs” and “forced” her into sex. Given the corrupted sensibilities people now possess, I can tell precisely how modern Americans will respond to stories like this.
“Oh, poor girl, trying to enjoy her college experience, and along came some vicious rapists,” as if to say that the young woman had no culpability whatsoever; the victim of some wily cartoon character dropping an anvil onto her head.
Yet this conclusion doesn’t pass the smell test. Are we to believe Ivy League students aren’t smart enough to avoid heavy drugging, drinking, and group sex at parties? Aren’t they supposed to be among America’s budding elite scholars? Perhaps they’re conforming themselves to the legacy of their Ivy League female professors who cheat, plagiarize, and use AI to produce their facile research publications.
Alas, similar occurrences happen all the time at almost every university because college girls, like all women, get a pass for stupid behavior, even when there are grounds to believe they desired the drunkenness, attention, and sex from the onset. Nobody, to the contrary, would ever suggest a man could attain impunity for such actions, let alone the complete inability to consent to sexual escapades brought about by carousing and drinking.
By the way, if you’re keeping score, the Cornell incident is basically a copycat of the Duke Lacrosse case, only this “victim female” wasn’t officially a prostitute. These are two of countless similar cases, though.
So yes, society has double standards, which encourage women to behave much worse than wretched pirates of past centuries. Also, I have one other comment about Americans and their fixation on mental illness victimization. All the women-dominated mental problems, according to popular sentiment, MUST be met with pity and consolation except for narcissism.
That is the only universally detested “mental illness,” whereas all others always beget empathy. While I can agree that narcissism is deplorable, I find it peculiar that this category of the mentally ill is the only one deserving of denouncement. All other “Cluster B” conditions, wildly dominated by women, cannot endure moral scrutiny of any kind, at least according to experts and influencers.
Make of that what you will.
In the following section, I’d like to switch from the psychological nature of this trouble over to its economic underpinnings, namely the communist systems that have aggravated all male/female cooperative relations.
Communist Economics: Breeding Ground for Useless Men
I alluded to this a bit earlier, but must further emphasize how economics explains many of our problems, including the culture of death as I’ve explained in my essay on centrally-planned economics and abortion. Just when Western Civilization reached its zenith (in terms of wealth and prosperity, at least), the devil sank his wicked talons into it and turned everything against us to render us weak, comfort-driven, greedy, slothful, and incapable.
It should not surprise you that the more thoroughly entrenched the communism gets, the more severe the social/cultural consequences there are to follow. Abortion, for instance, became legal within a few years after Nixon took the U.S. off the gold standard to print money to finance the Vietnam War debacle.
The money printing in the early 1970s led to runaway inflation, while gas and food prices skyrocketed, and then, next thing you know, women had to enter the workplace to account for the dollar’s declining purchasing power. Sure, these were also the times of Gloria Steinem, Third Wave Feminism, and other disastrous social pressures, but nobody would have paid that gibberish a second glance were it not for the economic need to have women in the workplace. That economic necessity was driven by American communism.
Once both sexes were working and competing against one another, the floodgates were open for an array of problems: coed workplaces with sexual harassment, dependence on “day care services,” absentee parenting, and beyond. Given all that, combined with the severe financial constraints we all face now, does it surprise anyone that so many would-be parents opt to contracept or kill their children?
Moreover, let us not pretend that any one government policy has contributed to this horror. Instead, it’s been a steady, sometimes slow, sometimes fast, onslaught of vicious anti-family communist programming. It should go without saying that communism begets abortion, miserable women, and hapless men.
Next, we should consider the individual economic decisions men must make as they a) pursue holy perfection, and b) at least avoid succumbing to catastrophic marriages that culminate in divorce rape. In short, does it make sense for men, those who have pulled themselves from the proverbial vomit of sin and mediocrity, to risk their pursuit of perfection by courting today’s defective women?
If men really do improve themselves (to where they’d better qualify as marriage partners) would they pursue marriage or answer the higher calling to perfection? After all, the consensus of the saints is that detachment from the world and pursuing consecrated religious life (or at least lay celibacy) is the preferred path toward perfection by an overwhelming margin.
You could, by the way, ask the same question of any woman who would reform herself. Why go to all that effort of rooting out sin and detaching from worldliness only to jeopardize all progress just to start a family? So many saints knew this was an unwise strategy.
Finally, I should remind readers that men not only scrutinize the prospects of marriage for the perceived civilizational benefits but also in personal economic terms. The problem is that the decision to pursue marriage doesn’t make sense economically since modern men face a decision matrix with women that involves exorbitant risks and minimal rewards.
Remember that men are rational and will want nothing to do with such a raw deal with modern women. Furthermore, if one were to say that men are selfish on this matter, then it’s all the more essential that society do more to assist and incentivize men in their espousal endeavors.
Hence why I’ve advocated semi-arranged marriages as a means to mollify the selfish whims of both young men and women in the courtship process. At least, that’s how Catholics used to do things, and I cannot conceive of a more realistic alternative. Then again, such was the courtship framework in the old days, whereas our proximate ancestors had gotten a little squishy with family direction and child-rearing . . .
Older Generations: Raised Millions of Wicked Women
It would be intellectually lazy for us not to identify at least a semi-reasonable starting position for the collapse of women in contemporary history. I for one neither believe that women invented feminism on their own accord, nor do I think the social engineers (who DID invent it) should shoulder all the blame. It’s time for us to acknowledge the radical shortcomings of the last “good men” who permitted women to become modern-day monsters.
If there are any men who genuinely deserve as much of the blame (if not more) as modern women, then it would be, believe it or not, men from the Silent and WWII generations. We revere many of those men as heroes after invading the beaches of Normandy, but what did they do upon return to their homelands? They insisted on “no more suffering” at all costs and were the first generation to eat everything they desired to the point of obesity.
Their collective stumble into laxity, comfort seeking, and complacence was catastrophic. Lots of former GIs did this, too. After years of intense training and hardship, career military guys leave the service and let themselves succumb to incredible weight gain, as if it were their supreme prerogative. Never in history were grown men allowed to let themselves slip into morbid obesity and drift off into “complete retirement.”
Of course, it gets worse when you behold all the “daddy’s little princesses” they’ve raised, starting with the Boomers. So while these men certainly retained most of Western Civilization’s traditional family values, one could find plenty of cracks in its foundation right before the social engineers drowned society with a third wave of feminism. As so many have begun to realize (far too late), weak men are harbingers of bad times.
Few are willing to scrutinize the older generations for their extreme weakness following the Second World War. Were they the greatest generations, per common propaganda? I cannot say so, for by their fruits we have come to know them, and their fruits are millions of spoiled-rotten modern women. An honest reflection on this causal mechanism makes it almost impossible to conclude otherwise.
I wanted to end on what I consider an obvious point so that nobody can accuse me of believing that awful female behavior somehow arose from a vacuum or that women began acting like hellions with no outside influence. So yes, it is true that “men are to blame” (to some extent) as the everyday, traditionalist critic contends. I would simply contend that heaping tons of blame onto men of more recent generations doesn’t get to the crux of the problem.
In summation, I argue that wicked women and our lazy grandfathers should take primary ownership of this issue, one that we can no longer remedy with ordinary methods. For a legitimate solution, we require something else . . .
Conclusion: Seek Mary, the Perfect Woman
How can you and I become better men and women? Although this article has explored a somewhat complex, frustrating, and chaotic problem, the solution to it is radically simple: we must become like Jesus and Mary. More specifically, women must set aside self-love and imitate the glorious virtues of Mary: humility, kindness, meekness, obedience, maternal charity, mercifulness, and so many others.
The Holy Family never entangled themselves with these silly in-group preferences (feminism or the “manosphere”), and neither should we as it pertains to this spurious “battle of the sexes.” Instead, may we pray the Rosary every day (all 15 decades) beseeching God to grant better relations between men and women and a return to loving patriarchal leadership. Anything else is a diabolical perversion.
