Greetings Interesting/End Times Friends,
I don’t often write about feminism. I’ll go a step further and say that I have no business writing about feminism. It’s like a mollusk writing an essay on Cirque du Soleil. However, I recently read a feminist tract that piqued my interest and aligned with Tao thinking.
In the 1998 book “Ecofeminist Literary Criticism,” from University of Illinois Press, Cat McGuire and Colleen McGuire contributed a chapter titled, “Grass-roots Ecofeminism: Activating Utopia.”
In the book, they relate their experiences on conceptualizing and organizing an ecofeminist activist group called EVE (Ecofeminists Visions Emerging).
While open to different viewpoints from its members, EVE’s cornerstone belief was that real “feminism” started with the protection of the natural environment and grew from there to protect women, children, families, and societies.
A civilization that defends forests and coral reefs also defends women and children. A civilization that destroys forests and coral reefs destroys women and children- and families and societies.
In the US, toxic waste pours into America’s lakes, rivers, underground aquifers, and streams, while its women, children, and families come under financial, bioweapon-Big Pharma, toxic food, and toxic mass media assault. Environmental poisoning turns into human poisoning (mental, physical, and spiritual). Ecocide becomes genocide.
As a general rule, a society that poisons its water supply is suicidal.
Foundational respect for “the woman” starts with respect for Mother Earth. Kill the planet becomes: kill the woman, child, man, society, dolphin, elephant, cherry tree, and everything else. The ruling class is leading us toward species extinction and planetary destruction.
From my viewpoint, the McGuire sisters’ concept of “ecofeminism” could be rebranded as “Tao-feminism,” as ecofeminism contains core Tao concepts.
As an historical aside, I surmise Cat McGuire’s ecofeminist activist experience played a role in her future leadership position in New York City’s COVID anti-vaccine mandate movement. Cat was a major force behind the huge NYC anti-mandate rallies some of you may have participated in or seen video of. At the time, the city was firing all public sector employees and pushing for the firing of all private sector workers who refused the problem-solution bioweapon. It was a crazy and eye-opening mini-epoch.
A primary ethical tenet of Tao is “defense of the orphan and widow.” Protection of the orphan and widow evolves into protection of children, women, elders, families, society, nation, and moves to protection of the frog, tiger, and ocean.
Native Red Indian tradition venerates Mother Earth. The Great Spirit represents the sky/male companion of Mother Earth. From the Tao perspective, this constitutes a perfect male-female yin-yang balance. Sky lies on top of Earth. Earth supports Sky. Sky waters (impregnates) Earth and Earth births plants (life).
The indigenous people’s copulation metaphor takeaway: Don’t pollute soil and water, and don’t pollute the atmosphere and sky. It’s all one through the yin-yang connection.
In ancient times, Celtic maidens danced around the MayPole to symbolize a similar yin-yang connection of male and female energy that celebrated life-producing Mother Earth.
Mother Earth produces life, so Tao-feminist activism makes female growth and development, procreation/healthy child rearing, and ecology its firmament agenda. That foundational layer of soil germinates human rights causes like building social safety nets and ending banker wars.
The antithesis of Tao-feminism is “child sacrifice feminism.” Child sacrifice feminists are “witches who sacrifice children on the altar of Satan.” While not familiar with witchcraft, I understand that there are “good witches” or Wiccans. So no disrespect to the “good witch” community.
Child sacrifice feminism came from “identity politics feminism,” which seeks to maintain the exploitative neoliberal status quo while turning management roles over to women.
An ethno-example of neoliberal “identity politics” is “First Black President” Barack Obama who served the banks, MIC, multinational corporations, oligarchy, and Zionist Lobby to the detriment of middle, working, and poor class Americans of all races.
If you're getting harmed by a corrupt system manager, what difference does it make whether that person is Black, White, Hispanic, male, female, gay, etc.?
The late Secretary of State Madeleine Albright exemplifies the child sacrifice feminist. She bragged on network television about starving 500,000 Iraqi children to death.
Hillary Clinton is another famous child sacrifice feminist.
The child sacrifice feminist is more bloodthirsty than her male counterpart as she is a distortion of “woman as life-giver.” She is antithetical to the natural order. She is anti-Tao.
Look at all the female defense ministers in Europe who play active roles in the genocide of women and children. Women are supposed to nurture children. The child sacrifice feminist is a child killer.
Denmark, a nation with a long pacifist history, just legalized female military conscription, borrowing from the Israeli policy. Denmark is a US-Zionist vassal state, like the rest of Europe.
Child sacrifice feminism trickles down to lower-caste females who seek to emulate their higher-caste child sacrifice feminist role models. Look at the eight-month pregnant woman who selfie virtue signals on social media after receiving her second problem-solution bioweapon shot.
A Tao-feminist protects her child. That is priority number one.
As per feminist hot button topic abortion- while I recognize that negative karma from mass industrial abortion crashes a society, I think there are cases where abortion is justified, e.g., incestuous rape.
I also think it is wrong to punish women who seek abortions when the owners made it financially untenable and society too horrible to have kids. End controlled scarcity capitalism, incentivize motherhood, and mass industrial abortion stops. Women are biologically programmed to want children.
That said, child sacrifice feminists love industrial-scale mass abortion, especially the late-term kind.
I support aspects of traditional feminism. For example, since our society imposes predatory controlled scarcity capitalism, staying home to raise kids becomes a luxury. Many women, especially single mothers, need to work at low-wage jobs to survive.
If the owners are going to force a woman to choose career over family or job survival over proper stewardship of her children, then she should receive equal pay for equal work, and protections from getting pawed at all day by a slob boss she finds repulsive.
Conversely, if circumstances place men and women who share mutual attraction in a close working environment, romance (or passion) sometimes blossoms. I think that’s fine if everything’s consensual with no power dynamic threat involved.
Cases where a woman consensually dates her boss or supervisor and cries “sexual harassment” after they break up, shouldn’t be taken seriously. If he retaliated against her job post-breakup, then her claim would fall under “unfair employment practices,” not “sexual harassment.”
In cases of legitimate sexual harassment, a couple of guys from the HR department could issue a verbal first-time warning to the offending male supervisor. If his behavior continued, the HR guys could issue him a second-time warning b!tch-slapping session. That would fix the problem 99% of the time.
While the supervisor’s (face) cheeks might be sore with red palm prints for a couple of days, at least he wouldn’t have his career ended or be placed on the sex offender registry, thus allowing him to continue providing for his family.
If economics force a man to work around an attractive woman all day, he might act crazy. There’s no reason to ruin his life for succumbing to natural drives in an unnatural environment when there are less drastic behavioral modification techniques available.
American labor protections and corporate structures are corrupted beyond repair. The aforementioned workplace suggestions apply if there were a temporary mitigation of controlled scarcity capitalism, e.g., a benign military dictatorship. I’m not pro-military dictatorship, but the only way to make a dent in managerial class corruption at this point is via firing squads. Empire collapse is inevitable, so that would only be a short-term fix.
#MeToo was a Mossad-Deep State psyop designed to destroy and atomize relations between men and women, and had nothing to do with protecting women.
It’s like when the government says it needs to censor the internet to “protect kids.” The permanent state genocides children for profit. The owners couldn’t care less about “women and children,” and likely delight in their destruction.
Tao-feminism encourages women to produce healthy children, as children represent the future of that society. For long-game survival, society needs to create safe family environments that encourage nurturing mother-father households.
Procreation and healthy species continuation are part of the natural order. For example, a sane technological society could offer incentives like UBI (universal basic income), so mothers could stay home to raise their children.
The state could also offer child-friendly free college or certification programs, so that when the kids reached adulthood, the mother would be certified or accredited to pursue a career, if that’s what she wanted.
The healthy state promotes healthy child rearing and uses “positive propaganda” and incentives to encourage young females to become mothers.
I am speaking of a hypothetical “healthy state” that practices technology-ecology yin-yang balance. We currently have the technology to support 8 billion people or several times that, on a clean and abundant planet. The blueprint for technology-ecology balance was provided in Buckminster Fuller’s, “Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth.” Pollution, war, ignorance, slavery, and poverty are components of the controlled scarcity capitalism machine that funnels the world’s wealth to the owners.
Controlled scarcity capitalism can’t maintain 8 billion people, hence the owners’ Malthusian culling program.
The current state or empire is not only unhealthy, it is pathological. Beyond that, we are living in “Interesting/ End Times.” A condition of Peak Evil. That’s what my research says anyway.
Having children in “Interesting /End Times” is challenging to say the least. From my viewpoint, procreation should be delayed during that epoch, unless one is willing to take extreme measures to protect their progeny- and even that might not cut it.
Matthew 24:19 KJV says: “And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!”
Even within healthy societies, there is a small percentage of women who don’t want kids and would rather pursue other objectives, and they should be allowed to do so.
The gifted lesbian* writer Patricia Highsmith, who wrote “Strangers on a Train” and “The Talented Mister Ripley,” is a prime example of a woman sublimating life creation into artistic creation. Life creation sublimation could also manifest in science or other fields.
(*I support the non-globalist gay community that doesn’t push its lifestyle on disinterested parties. I differentiate between regular gay people and the Mossad-Deep State “rainbow flag psyop/child indoctrination program. A minority of the population is gay by nature. Forcing a swish-queen choreographer to marry a woman and have kids won’t make him “straight” and also distorts his natural flow as well as the flow of the natural order.)
A small percentage of women are natural harlots who love the fast life and fast money exchange or polyamory. These women serve an important social function, as bottled up male sexual frustration can lead to rape or the corruption of chaste females.
While society should psychologically steer young women toward chaste living and motherhood, from my viewpoint, final life-path decision lies with the woman. That choice should be respected. Yes, I am a feminist. Or Tao-feminist.
In the US, children are impoverished, miseducated, poisoned, weaponized, and crushed by design to maximize owner profits, therefore, the future of America and the West in general looks bleak- at least for the next several generations.
Child commoditization and destruction are built-in features of controlled scarcity capitalism.
Male and female represent both sides of the yin-yang circle. When society follows the natural order, balance returns. Our society is in a state of severe imbalance, whereby everything is inverse to the natural order. Adults are weaponized against children. Children are weaponized against adults. Men against women. Women against men.
Inversion of the natural order is the hallmark of “Interesting/ End Times.” During ‘Peak Evil,’ family, procreational, romantic, and communal relationships become adversarial, i.e., turn “inverse.”
A Peak Evil inverse relationship prediction from Luke 12:53 (KJV):
“The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.”
During Peak Evil, violence and the threat of violence are not only ubiquitous, but they are also the currency that backs up the win-lose* system. Just like the aircraft carriers and nuclear weapons that back up the US dollar. It’s a fear-based paradigm. You’ll need to process the violence- one way or another.
(*The Wall Street win-lose system is the inverse of the win-win system. As per American scientist Buckminster Fuller and China’s socio-economic scientists, win-win is the only way humanity can escape technology-induced collapse and extinction.)
The Tao-feminist represents Aquarian Age harmony. The child sacrifice feminist embodies Peak Evil disharmony.
If humans fail to seek balance by following the natural order, then the natural order eventually lays down harsh forms of behavioral modification to restore homeostasis.
Examples of natural order harsh behavioral modification for out of control species exist within the animal kingdom.
Tao seeks balance and harmony with the natural order.
Tao is a universal application. It even works with feminism.
Any real feminist movement needs to be developed and managed by women. I try to stay out of female business. I’m just disseminating some ideas. Take it away ladies.
Cheers,
Richard
