Womenfirstism

The people who value men as highly as women are nobody's ancestors. That's a natural, biological, reproductive truth. Eggs, wombs and breasts are rare in comparison to sperm, which is plentiful. The consequence pervades all our inherited instincts: womenfirstism is necessary for survival.

However, this fact leads to a cognitive dissonance in men who believe in gender-equality. How can the genders be equal if all our primary instincts are based on womanfirstism? They can’t, of course. That women seldom seem to suffer this dissonance is interesting and should be researched. Perhaps it is a feature of the female mind.

But which is it to be, gender equality or women first?

Whether we like it or not, womanfirstism is well founded in nature. Rather, we need to challenge the other side of the dissonant equation, those who profess gender-equality.

Gender equality is an unnatural and distorted instinct. In fact it is a deception on an astonishing scale, just look at any quality of life measure if you doubt that. But the West is riddled with it and no-one of standing dares to seriously question it because women are the oxygen of the extended economy. Without their hyper-consumptive demands Western economies would slow down dramatically. This might save the planet, but it won't save a politician at the next election or a CEO at the next AGM.

While women cast the majority of votes and wield substantial consumptive power so it will remain - at least until nature steps in.
