Satyr:
(a little female intervention here)
Why is the individual more important than the community?
Isn't that against the survival instinct?
It all depends on the individual’s ability to survive within a certain environment.
Social behavior is the individual admitting an inability to go on its own and willing to sacrifice independence for survival.
“Importance” is a subjective terms.
How much you love yourself and how confident and self-reliant you are constitutes how individualistic you are. The concept of identity and Self is consciousness discriminating.
You define your self by what you are not.
The ones lacking the most character and sense of identity and independence and pride will more readily find solace in the group and find there safety, identity and purpose. They will be the most tolerant and submissive and undiscriminating.
The sensitive palate, for example, being able to discern different flavors and odors will be more discriminating in its choice of wine.
The obtuse palate will drink any swill and call it good, because it makes him dizzy and his tongue numb.
Here identity is established by what the individual is willing to accept as sufficient and worthy of itself.
In sexual terms the male that will fuck anything has less understanding or appreciation of sex than a man who chooses and picks and is more careful in what he considers acceptable.
In all cases what is sufficient determines the individuals character.
Back to the previous:
A creature that can survive on its own would not even consider uniting with others.
Furthermore a creature with more discerning tastes and sensibilities would be more careful to which group it is willing to belong to.
The all-inclusive group will allow anyone in and tell him he is worthy of their respect and love.
Then the respect and love this group offers is diluted in significance.
A love offered to all, as sex offered to anyone, loses its value.
The psychological reasons why women are less independent minded and more willing to defer to authority is rooted in procreative necessity.
Larger brained creatures require longer gestation periods and longer weaning periods.
They, therefore, require a sex dedicated to specifically this.
This sex would have to evolve the correct demeanor and mental/physical/psychological traits to enable it to play this particular role of gestating/weaning/caretaker.
The female sex is just that.
It exhibits a reliance on community, it evolved an ability to cooperate, defer and participate more readily and harmoniously.
It, subsequently, found identity within the group and any character traits which prohibited her integration and assimilation were weeded out through natural selection.
Her procreative role made her a gender not culture or paternalistic systems.
The current "Feminization of Man" is following similar paths for almost the same reasons.
Yet, nature can only be overcome through reason and ascetic mental discipline. Things a female lacks, in comparison to males.
So she is determined by the exact nature she wants to deny. Her “emancipation” happens superficially.
She still identifies with her procreative identity and therefore she is determined by natural necessity, even while pretending she’s reasoned and intellectual.
Most males fall into this error, as well.
A female’s entire mentality is focused on integrating and harmoniously fitting into a group.
A male’s, due to his procreative role, is more challenging, and independent.
He must prove himself worthy first o he must dominate to the extent where he can replace pre-existing morality and ideals with his own.
This is referred to as revolution.
Because females accept authority so readily and because they have sexual power through their control over the ovum and the womb, they act as genetic and memetic filtering systems for the group.
The unwanted elements, as they are specifically defined by each group through morals and ideals, are eliminated by not allowing them access to procreation.
They become undesirable.
Males, if they are attached to their genetic programming, then adapt to the morals and ideals the female has integrated her self into.
Ironically males invent and establish the group’s ethical standards and women simply accept it from birth and through indoctrination – as do most sub-standard, average males.
