The Premise

What a controversial subject for a women’s blogging team to take on, right? I am begging you to watch this video all the way through before you read what I write or post a comment on any of the Victory Girls’ venues.

Behold:

There cannot be a sentient being on Planet Earth who hasn’t listened to Hillary Clinton, Barbara Boxer or Mika Brzezinski and thought “How did women ever get the vote?” or in more extreme moments that maybe public beatings aren’t that bad in concept.

If you made it all the way through that video, you know that Mika’s dad, Zbigniew Brzezinski, former National Security Adviser to former President Jimmy Carter, ignores her. Smart man.

But, what about the generalized concept of women as destroyers of Nations/Civilizations? Black Pigeon Speaks, the maker of this and other videos, posits the following:

1. Women, in general, do not care about their tribe or nation.

3. The half-century long experiment in feminism has failed.

The problem is that for most of the history of the world, most men did not participate in the planning and maintaining of society. Except in the brute force, sweat of the brow kind of way.

Philosopher Thomas Hobbes wrote in his Leviathan in 1651:

No arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death: and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short.

Until very recent history, old Tom Hobbes was dead right. Most men didn’t get to have fun, they couldn’t read, smelled too bad to be let in to the homes of the nobility and lived in constant fear of death from war, pestilence or farm implement. Men died young and women died younger, mostly from things like childbed fever.

What thinkers like Black Pigeon Speaks or late, feminist Betty Freidan seemed to lack is a sense of history. Unless, of course, history began with their generation. Until very recently, men and women didn’t have the luxury to contemplate their navels or wonder about their place in the larger world.

If one thinks power is concentrated in the hands of the few now, historically, it was far fewer. Most men and women who survived to their majority, were happy to be engaged in service to someone important, or were a serf or a slave or an indentured servant. Serfdom didn’t end in France until 1798, slavery ended in the United States in 1865, and indentured servitude was not outlawed until 1917 in the United States. All of these abominations, especially slavery, still exist in parts of the world today, 2016.

Just below the nobility, whose lives sucked, too, were the tradesfolk. Lucky children got an apprenticeship, learned a trade and were able to earn a living and find a wife. Oooh.

Marriage for most men and women was not about love or fulfillment, until very recently. There was usually some benefit to both families. Her family may have even paid the husband to take her, one less mouth to feed. The Dowry System still exists in parts of the world today.

Finally, let’s talk about the “half-century experiment in feminism”. What? Half-century? Feminism in the United States got it start in 1848. That happens to be about a quarter century after the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the United States. Women had more time on their collective hands. Coincidence, nah dude.

Black Pigeon Speaks must be talking about the bra burning 1963, Second Wave Feminism. The angry, male bashing, masculinity hating feminists don’t represent the average woman today anymore than they did in 1963.

“A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.”
― Gloria Steinem

The National Organization for Women (N.O.W.) boasts 500,000 members (not all women) and claims to be the largest feminist organization in the United States. There are 125,900,000 women in the United States (2014). This means that women who identify with this organization represent .004 of the women in the United States. The feminists’ voices are much louder than their reach.

Today’s Destruction

Black Pigeon Speaks uses German Chancellor Angela Merkel as the poster girl for National Destruction. She is allowing hundreds of thousands of unassimilable males (Muslims) to immigrate to Germany and this will eventually destroy Germany.

Too True. If Angela Merkel were the only world Head of State allowing this, Black Pigeon Speaks might have a point, in this instance. However, the Pew Research Center has an excellent piece about Muslim immigration in Europe. The countries most impacted by this unassimilable population are France, Belgium, Germany, the United Kingdom and The Netherlands. Only Germany has a female head of state, so this ain’t no chick thing, Black Pigeon.

Black Pigeon’s Problem

Black Pigeon Speaks also seems to think that women want a scoundrel. The examples Mr. Pigeon Speaks uses are the work of fiction “Fifty Shades of Grey” and women who date drug dealers. As if powerful men only come in two choices, Sadist or drug dealer.

Omg… and then it hit me. Black Pigeon speaks is an angry, German, 40 year old man living in his mother’s basement and he cannot get a date and has never been laid.

Today, men and women have freedom of choice. It’s a good thing. We live longer lives, we have nice, fat bellies and, we can read and write. Work for a living or live in your mother’s basement. Climb the corporate ladder or farm the land.

Most men and women prefer monogamy. Wives depend on their husbands and husbands depend on their wives. It is an amazing blessing to be born at this time and be able to live with the modern conveniences that we take for granted.

Black Pigeon Speaks, come out of your mother’s basement. Learn a trade, get a job and, with some income, you can get a date. I am not promising that you will get laid, but miracles do happen.

What Is Happening to Civilization

The people who are destroying civilization are the women and men, who have too much time on their hands and are unhappy souls. The people who are destroying civilization are the politicians whose love of power and whose vanity blinds them to the destruction.

Allowing immigration by those who hold their political/religious ideology above the founding documents that bind the fabric of a nation together will destroy a nation and all of civilization.

Four or so years ago, while we were dog walking, my Syrian Christian neighbor, Dr. A-T, said that before he came to America, he had been a drowning man. The United States of America, he believes, saved his life and he believes that he owes her everything. Immigration is the lifeblood of a nation. Who the immigrant is makes all the difference.

And, feminists are pretty awful.
