The truth is sexuality is everywhere: the way a bureaucrat fondles his records, a judge administers justice, a businessman causes money to circulate; the way the bourgeoisie fucks the proletariat; and so on. Flags, nations, armies, and banks get a lot of people aroused.
The libido does not need to be de-sexualised, sublimated, or to go by way of metamorphoses in order to invest economic or political factors. --D&G
It is a very surreal moment to me, watching the past few days. What shall be sacred going forward? Can we really pretend to be above this spectacle, when it is so intimately bound up in the turning of life and death? https://twitter.com/0x49fa98/status/1029366381374885889
The body of Woman, her authority over the life of her unborn child. The man who will make this decision. The attempt to disqualify him on the grounds that he has ALREADY violated a woman; the accusation is symbolic, the real violation is in the future, the charges are a metaphor
The accusation itself is the proof, the details are immaterial; on trial is the future of Woman herself; what is She to become? Having been condemned in 1973, this we understand is merely an appeal
Suppose for a moment that all sex really is rape. Is it so far fetched, as we watch the birth rate plummet in every country that has the technology to decouple sex from birth, to think that as a species we can only maintain ourselves by violating a woman’s body?
If that were true, would you sacralize bodily autonomy at the cost of the entire human race, and end the propagation of man and woman, to preserve some “higher” value?
In fact this debate has already been decided, and humanity has lost, which is why bodily autonomy is used as the justification for bodily autonomy, tautologically, because those are our values https://twitter.com/0x49fa98/status/1024007277206896640
Can there be any question that Christianity has been unseated from the throne of the moral imagination of the West?
When feminists say that science and mathematics and economics represent distinctly masculine modalities of knowing and being, they are right. Man's world is a world of abstraction, calculation, and cold logic. A woman can do all of these things, yes, but what must she give up?
Paglia: Serial or sex murder is a perversion of male intelligence. It is a criminal abstraction, masculine in its deranged egoism and orderliness; the asocial equivalent of philosophy, mathematics and music. There is no female Mozart because there is no female Jack the Ripper
The power of a woman to subvert her own faculties of genesis and birth is identical to the power to compete in a man’s world. Everything that is innate to femininity: immanence, warmth, compassion, is a disadvantage to a man locked in male competition https://twitter.com/0x49fa98/status/1038863642911854592
Feminists, in their desire to colonize male space, degrade the feminine, and demand that women abandon femininity and inhabit a male way of being. They say sex is all about power, but such a fatuous statement can only come from a tremendous poverty of the vital imagination
The truth is men have always worshipped women and still do. We are gynolatrous to the core, revering the beauty of women and fearing their power to give life. The truth is that all male toil is ultimately in service of woman, no matter how strong a man's spirit may be
The truth is that women have learned, through seduction, through subterfuge, through submission, to always have their way with man, to get everything they want from Him. Man has evolved to manipulate the world and woman has evolved to manipulate man
When we see men dressing as women, ingesting hormones in an attempt to summon the spirit of woman into themselves, it is cargo cult femininity, it is the longing for a femininity which woman herself has in recent decades cast aside
The church no longer has the power to restore femininity to its former glory. Neither does any individual man. No matter what the courts rule, it is woman in her heart who has chosen her values. The law is only an ornament.
Man thinks that he leads woman, and woman would have him believe that, but if she abdicates her duty and her sacred power to give life, what can man do but follow her into oblivion?
Errata: I missed one in the middle.
As it is written, a man shall leave his father and mother and shall cleave unto his wife and they shall become ONE FLESH. What is “bodily autonomy” but the rending of that which God would make as one? What shall Woman become, if not one with her husband, but a husband herself?
