A man might be physically weak but sufficiently cunning to make a good living.<br /><br />And then, some cultures which may or may not be deviant value the production of many children. Some prefer the production of few children. Nowadays, the developed world seems to be reproducing at below the replacement rate, while the underdeveloped world is producing at a rate where they will not be able to feed their children.<br /><br />Good questions...Stuart Schneidermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12784043736879991769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-41608927871729937282012-12-13T03:43:46.534-08:002012-12-13T03:43:46.534-08:00n.n,

People normally have to demonstrate that they do not deserve that respect by being disrespectful themselves.<br />I started out with a degree of respect for early feminists which I think was deserved, but the more success they had they less respect they had for others. Feminists were and are incapable of giving what they themselves expect. They have reached the point where they are dangerous to themselves, the women they supposedly represent and to the species as a whole.<br />There is a reason why any society that expects to maintain itself and serve the needs of its citizens need attributes such as manners, politeness, chivalry, respect, et al. These attribute contribute to the health and well being of the society and culture and ensures the perpetuation of the species. To undermine these attributes is to destroy oneself and much of what most of us hold dear and ultimately leads to the strongest ruling everyone else. That is why no matter how much radical feminists attack these attributes these attributes keep coming right back because most women, et al recognize that it improves their lives.<br />Also I suspect that both of us started out as classical liberals and the path to conservatism came through maturity and the desire by many academics to be mainstream by changing what the definition of where the center was actually at. It does not take much study, more experience with life or just plain common sense to recognize that the Left, radical feminism, et al, are inherently violent. Just a perusal of what are called the "intellectuals" action and lives demonstrate that violence. There is a fascination for humanity, but a hatred of humans. I am truly amazed at how anyone with even a modicum of intelligence could believe this drivel and humbuggery and I mean the word in its classical sense.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962996070458991675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-15604099896479400012012-12-12T20:44:20.087-08:002012-12-12T20:44:20.087-08:00Stuart, your position on family retribution is spo...Stuart, your position on family retribution is spot on. I have a theory, that back in less civilised times, most of the deviant type personalities were weeded out by frontier/instant justice. If they had not procreated before their death, their deviant genes died out with them. <br /><br />I wonder what your take on this is?DeNihilistnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-65577346764284546082012-12-12T18:42:48.525-08:002012-12-12T18:42:48.525-08:00As for chivalry.

It happened to the classical liberals. It will happen to the generational progressives, too. They will be shunned by the rebels with a cause and without a clue.<br /><br />What gives these fanatics common cause?<br /><br />Feminism, like other reactive movements, may have been conceived on principles, but it is an unprincipled movement. It cannot be sustained without violating civil and human rights. It happened to the human rights movement. It happened to the civil rights movement. It happened to the environmentalist movement. It is progressive corruption.n.nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252447117532342957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-10622531924899883402012-12-12T12:26:42.471-08:002012-12-12T12:26:42.471-08:00The machinations of a philosophy in its death thro...The machinations of a philosophy in its death throes.
