Gynarchy

[Ian Livingston]

Well, we might get assault weapons banned this time around. Did this kid
use an assault weapon? I haven't seen a list of his arms. Handguns are
another issue. It's possible screening could become more selective for the
sale of handguns, but that won't dispose of the ones that are already out
there. We won't likely see any significant change in regulations regarding
shotguns and hunting rifles in our lifetimes. Maybe there could be a safety
course requirement, such as some states require for hunting license issue,
but kids incline to sleepwalk through those things. (It's odd, isn't it, to
sell a weapon without a safety course requirement, but to require such a
course to get permission to use it in the manner under the guise of which
the weapon is sold in the first place?)

I'm much more interested in the subject of Rich's lead here. It has long
been my position that women are morally superior to men. Musta picked it up
from Plato's Socrates. There are, of course, websites devoted to Gynarchy
and Matriarchy. Oddly, the matriarchal website "Women Thou Art God" seems
more open to the public for inquiry, whereas the Gynarchy International
seems more militant, subversive, selective in terms of audience and
participation.

One of the reasons I've long inclined to regard women as morally superior
has to do with their inclination to talk about things before they act.
Wilber, citing someone else in something I read several years ago, says
that talking is a vital function of the feminine thought process. Masculine
thought processes, on the other hand, incline to get hung up on an idea and
let it fester until it springs like Athena from our foreheads, with no need
for further editing, if we can help it, thank you very much for your
thoughts I'll take the time to consider thinking about them before I ignore
them and move forward with my obsession. Feminine thought processes
therefore by nature incline to gyro better in their course, by allowing
greater outside influence. It's clearly not universal, but the inclination
seems likely enough to me. It seems most clearly defined in youth, before
our beloved patriarchal social hierarchy indoctrinates the young into the
wisdom of winning friends and influencing people.
