Sexual Tensions

Only a male intellect clouded by the sexual drive could call the stunted, narrow-shouldered, broad-hipped,
More fittingly than the fair sex, women could be called the unaesthetic sex.
Neither for music, nor poetry, nor the plastic arts do they possess any real feeling or receptivity; if they affect to do so, it is merely mimicry in service of their effort to please.
This comes from the fact that they are incapable of taking a purely objective interest in anything whatever, and the reason for this is, I think, as follows.
Man strives in everything for a direct domination over things, either by comprehending or by subduing them. But woman is everywhere and always relegated to a merely indirect domination which is achieved by means of man, who is consequently the only thing she has to dominate directly. - Arthur Schopenhauer

And the battle of the sexes is sustained with another shot across the bow by the great curmudgeon himself.

Now, any man that knows what's good for him will be wise to stay out of this fight and remain, safe and sound, on the sidelines of silence where no cutting female tongue can touch him or bruise his male ego.
But, being not too wise and in possession of a reckless demeanor that wishes to stir the vile waters of sexual relations which will, undoubtedly, result in much hypothesizing about my psychological makeup as it is laid bear by all those finding offense in my opinions, I fearfully throw my tiny pebble into the murky depths… and I duck….

Please feel free to latch onto the ?'small pebble' metaphor if you wish.
>That women hold the scepter of sexual power, is not to be denied; it takes religious dogmatism and paternalistic force, to tear those powers from her hands.

But even in paternalistic restricting cultures her power is exuded through subtlety and sexual manipulation. The core of any family unit is always the woman or else the family has no substance at all.

In our times, the emancipation of women and the reacquisition of their sexual authority have resulted in the disintegration of that most paternalistic institution of the nuclear or extended families and have caused the breakdown of the monogamous mythology.

This has produced, as it has been these institutions that have maintained the opposite effect, a majority of non-participating and desperate males and females with no positive male role models.

Females will either react against this trend, wanting to return to the safety of their past submissiveness or will become more male and independent in their behaviors, making males obsolete or guided into more traditionally feminine demeanors.
This gradual male obsolescence will be achieved through the castration of male physical advantages by civil society and through the degradation of male protective and provider roles by technological and law and order mechanisms,

The replacement of maleness by the state and by institutions such as religion has already resulted in a more feminine male character.
All law abiding and religious males are instinctively submitting to the male dominance of an abstract other, creating a culture of submissive, disciplined followers.

In a way we can say that female psychology, found within both genders, pulls mankind towards nature, where male psychology, again found within both genders, pushes mankind towards the surpassing of nature.

>Women reign supreme over matters of instinct but lag behind over matters of reason.

This becomes more obvious in how they infect any discussion with the bug of psychological evaluation and concern themselves with subjects of emotion.

A mind, involved in a ?'feminine' discussion, must not only construct and argue its abstract points on a given subject but must defend itself against the ensuing insinuations and accusations of motive that will force it to explain itself emotionally and argue on the merits of self rather than the merits of thought.

A woman will always turn the discussion towards the source of her deepest intuitive comprehension and influence, that of emotions and psychology; sex being but an aspect of both, in human beings.

By delving into the depths of the human primitive mind, she will seek the advantage offered to her there and distract the more objective faculties of reason where she remains ineffective.

>Many men go to great lengths to prove their genetic worth to and to garner sexual favors from, women.

No surprise then that most women have such a low opinion of most men, for in their need to become desirable, men often sacrifice pride, honor, dignity and sometimes risk life and limb in the process.
This sort of exuberant desire and risk-taking may appear to be charming and attractive to the instinct, but to reason it appears foolish and garish.

A woman holds a much lower opinion of her self, than any man can, because she knows the subject intimately, and so any form of desire, directed towards her, is taken as either hypocritical or overstated, making the males indulging in this type of behavior silly frauds or weaklings for having ever placed her on fictitious pedestals, she herself, feels undeserving of.

Her conclusion can only be that any male worshiping her, in such ways, is either a hypocrite or an inferior.

In time, if the attentions and behaviors persist, a woman may begin to believe her own worth, as it is displayed in the desire of men, and she will demand a higher fee for her affections.

This self-worth and power will be based on her sexual desirability and she will occupy herself towards acquiring as much of it as possible.

> The most desirable and strong females will, undoubtedly, be surrounded by a multitude of doting, hangers-on, all vying for her affections and awaiting her acquiescence.

The main strategic characteristic of males that cannot take power on merit or that cannot become genetically desirable to females by either physical or mental aptitude, is found in their utilization of alternate methods of being chosen as sexual partners, through groveling or making themselves indispensable parts of her well-being or by remaining disciplined and loyal followers of her whims.

They, these males, submit to female control so as to gain access to sexual encounters and to be flattered, as all weakness is, through association.

This role reversal, it would be good to mention, can only become possible in modern human social constructs where the role of alpha-male is occupied, psychologically, by institutions and all males are relegated to subordinate positions.

> Even the most disciplined and powerful man will usually allow a woman to gain a temporary upper-hand, if this will eventually lead to a sexual encounter.

Men see it as a small price to pay, in the short-run, for the promise of hedonistic ecstasy and procreative possibility, in the long-run.

By doing so, a woman's sense of self-importance and her perception of dominance, in relation to men and only men, are maintained and enhanced.

But they are all based on a false and narrow interpretation of events.

Even the most strong-willed and independent woman will find value through the type of man she can attract, as many men similarly judge their self-worth and maleness by the aesthetic quality and the quantity of their sexual options.

> Where man's displays of prowess and exhibitions of power are as clear and straightforward as a silverback thrashing branches in the woods, making him childlike and vulgar in his naked honesty and unsophisticated tactics; women's displays remain clouded in symbolism and muted aggression and her hand reaching for authority is lost in the jostling of the throng and the clambering of the overexcited males, she places herself behind.

Her physical fragility and procreative importance makes it essential that all physical straightforward confrontations are to be avoided and her control and dominance within a group should be enforced and expressed through more subversive means and through alliances.

It is therefore natural for most women to be attracted by grand ideologies and spiritual dogmas.

Passive-aggressive and psychologically manipulative methods become popular where more direct methods are prohibited or carry a high price.
This is why in modern environments males also are inclined to become more feminine in their exhibitions and actions, making men players in games they are not naturally adept in.

Current civilization standards benefit female psychologies, since they are geared to defend the weakest and most vulnerable.

A clean slate is more easily written on than a full one.

> Female offensive and defensive strategies spring forth from the source of her greatest power over men: sex.

Her every criticism and accusation, as well as her flattery and praise wears the subtle charge of sexual innuendo.
For if man judges his manhood through the symbols of his sexual performance, his procreative achievements and/or his genital endowments, then here also lies the soft spot of his manliness and his pride.

If she is scorned, her vengeance will aim at cutting away a man's sexual value to other females thusly punishing him for his indiscretions by denying him access to the realm of her only control: sex and procreation.

If she is worshiped, her affections will aim at heightening a man's sexual opinions of himself.

In every interaction between mammals, sexual matters become paramount.
In fact both confrontation and consensus become rooted in sexuality.

> In her evaluations of men, women make the correct assumption that most men are scum and of inferior stock.

Thousands of years of civilization have made sure of that.

So it is a natural consequence of her primordial drive, to seek out the most worthy vessel for her power aspirations and to test it by repeated assaults and reconnoitering pokes, beginning from the starting supposition of male mental and physical inferiority.

A man must consistently prove himself to her before, and after, she submits to him and then only long enough to acquire the benefits required.
Through this regular verification of quality males also prove their commitment and loyalty to females who need to know that their ultimate sacrifice, of self, will be reciprocated.

A woman wishes to ascend through her relationships not her worth.

She also wishes to expose her true nature and her vulnerability to only the most worthy of such a forfeiting of personal pride.

>The only power women have over men and the only advantage they possess, because of it, is that of reproductive promise.

Women instinctively know that sex is the only answer to mortality and that the only way towards genetic survival passes through her legs.

Access, therefore, to this genetic road towards oblique immortality, must be earned, the right words must be spoken, and the right price must be paid.

There is always a fee for her affections, making casual anonymous sex an aberration of our time, where only females that feel no self-love and possess little self-respect can indulge in it.

>Most women are naturally adept at emotional and physical apocryptography.

They effortlessly decipher motivations and attitudes in search of advantage.
Their social effectiveness and value depends on it.

Women are also superior to most men in verbal communication.
The multiplicity of nonverbal and verbal communications and sensual details are rarely lost to women.
Their ability to participate and make themselves relevant and influential within a group is determined by their ability to read unintentional messages and to express messages with an appropriate degree of deniability so as to escape possible error and accountability, when needed.

Most males exist in a foggy oblivion concerning this female expanded awareness.
It makes women mystical and incomprehensible to them.

>In our modern times where violence is denied expression, unless it is promoted by the state, male effectiveness is diminished and females gain the upper hand.

It is evident that in the world of ambiguity and theory where skepticism reigns supreme, no absolute conclusions can be reached and no final dominator accepted.

Ideas can be twisted, meanings warped and purpose lost in a cloud of rhetoric.

This is distinctly different to the primitive natural world where no question of validity is pondered over and truth is measured through power and effectiveness.

The convincing force is on how a strategy becomes successful and truth is calculated through its consequences.

So it becomes clear that where unempirical means are used to find dominance females will use their communication skills and their willingness to submit and adapt to become effective through insinuation and manipulation whereas in the empirical world they would find it difficult to impose their will, through semantics and clever psychological games, when physically they remain dependant on men.

In a world where the dominant position of male is occupied by an institution, females use the protection and the rights offered as shields against reality.

All weakness is characterized by how it uses another's power to become relevant.
