One of the main novel problems in the modern world are women. Technically I should use words as ‘feminine’ and ‘masculine’ because they are behavioral pattern mappings that predominately express themselves (especially in the edge percentiles) in males and females, but not exclusively so. But aint nobody got time for such nuance.
Male and female anti-social behavior is different; we are both human and therefor very capable apex-predators but the methods of warfare we engage in are varied. Male anti-social behavior very much is geared towards physical violence and direct confrontation, and aggression expresses itself through a punch on the face, a well coordinated shieldwall with spears, or a nuke; you get the point. Female anti-social behavior, for obvious reasons, steers away from these direct physical confrontations; instead they operate in the indirect domain of social inclusion and exclusion through methods of gossiping, shaming, rallying, ridicule, moralizing, psychologizing, undermining and reputation destruction. This is their method of warfare.
The problem we are faced with as a civilization, is that over time, we gradually adjusted to deal with the shifting expressions of violence/male anti-social behavior as a result of technological progress. We shaped our institutions to manage the ever increasing scale by which this type of warfare could be enacted. This is because their expression is very obvious and immediate. Things like the meatgrinder of trench-warfare or the atom bomb hardly go unnoticed. Not necessarily arguing that these institutions are effective, but for example we do have a UN in the context of a world with nuclear bombs. The issue is that we never had a similar process in relation to female methods of war. This is because this type of social power is very hard to scale, and therefor always remained somewhat localized.
Enter mass-media. Within the short time-span of a 100 years, culminating with hyper-acceleration in the internet, female anti-social behavior found its means to scale, and frankly its like the opening of pandora’s box. This is your ‘cancel culture’, ‘political correctness’ etc. Its like the church-ladies of old who were in control of reputation management in their local community all the sudden linked up allowing them global expression of this power. We don’t know how to deal with it, mostly because we appear to have problems identifying what is going on; and the moment you do, you obviously trigger the flocks of screeching harpies ready to deploy gossiping, shaming, rallying, ridicule, moralizing, psychologizing, undermining and reputation destruction.
As an aside, to drive the point home; seduction/baiting through false promise is also a nice female anti-social behavioral pattern that is currently on steriods via things as Instagram and tik-tok, and its apex onlyfans. Resulting in the masses of duped men we call simps, and it appears to have been a very lucrative war-campaign for a hand full of women thus far.
Dont get me wrong, things like propaganda have always been an aspect of ‘conventional’ war. This is not the point. The point is that we enforce social norms that regular men don’t go around punching everyone to get what they want; whilst in recent times for example there has been a very ‘aggressive’ push for normalization of whoreish behavior by women freed from negative consequence (complaints about slut-shaming basically). I gues the whole ‘me2’ ordeal followed by the demand that we ought to ‘believe women’ is another example. One where the accusation rests on male anti-social behavior (which very well exists, don’t get me wrong), in order to establish a new social norm that plays into these female methods of war like reputation destruction etc. The point is that in establishing social norms a new player entered the playingfield; the hyve-mind of the witch collective.
One clear issue with the centralized platform is that it gives this warring faction of anti-social women, able to coordinate on common interest, a clear target to vie for power over. Due to the (fairly recent) political inclusion of women they currently mostly seem to leverage the state as a vehicle to this end; this is very obvious if you look at the politicians and bureaucrats arguing for more control over social media platforms over complaints of ‘hate speech’, its basically all women.
Albeit Nostr solves this particular part of the problem, I am not sure that is the end of all our worries. But perhaps the freedom of association that Nostr provides allows the proverbial 1000 flowers to bloom in different attempts to tackle, mitigate or perhaps solve these matters. Opening up the opportunity to figure out a new sensible balance of power in the relation between the sexes, atleast for those who seek it.
Until that time, remember gentlemen, Rule 30:
There are no girls on the internet.
