We
human
beings,
especially
those
of
us
from
the
Anglosphere,
grow
up
with
strange
notions
of
what
it
is
to
be
a
man.
Americans
bow
to
a
pompous
git
wearing
a
black
robe
and
address
him
as
“Sir”
for
fear
of
going
to
debtor’s
prison
for
being
unable
to
pay
child
support.
In
Australia,
draconian
laws
exist
not
to
protect
but
to
control
–
voting
is
compulsory,
anti-association
laws
[1]
(defining
whom
you
are
allowed
to
associate
with)
are
periodically
entertained
and
taken
seriously,
and
we
are
fined
hundreds
of
dollars
for
failing
to
wear
bicycle
helmets
or
failing
to
buckle
up
our
seatbelts.
These
are
examples
where
we
are
penalized
not
for
hurting
anyone
or
stealing
anything,
but
for
minding
our
own
business
and
taking
responsibility
for
our
own
choices.
In
America
and
throughout
the
Anglosphere,
we
surrender
our
livelihoods
and
our
dignity
to
provided-for
women
in
their
petty
indulgences
with
Affirmative
Action,
while
they
grasp
for
alimony
and
government
handouts.
Men
are
having
their
children
taken
away
from
them
in
the
interests
of
their
primary
abusers,
placing
their
children
at
the
mercy
of
their
primary
abusers.
We
must
be
the
most
gutless,
spineless,
dumbest
manifestations
of
the
male
condition
that
the
world
has
ever
seen.
Human
dignity?
What
a
joke.
It
therefore
pays
to
ask,
what
have
we
lost?
What
is
the
essence
of
male
knowing?
What
does
it
mean
to
be
a
man?
I
reckon
that
this
dude
in
the
gorilla
suit
[2]
might
have
a
better
idea
than
we
do.
What
does
he
know?
No
one
taught
him
to
“man
up”.
What
he
knows
seems
to
go
beyond
the
petty
“should”
and
“should-nots”
of
human
society.
What’s
with
his
confidence,
his
calm
temperament,
and
his
sense
of
responsibility?
He
hangs
back
behind
the
group
and
looks
around
to
check
for
stragglers,
before
rejoining
them.
He
places
a
firm
but
gentle
hand
on
one
of
the
youngsters,
guiding
them
to
move
aside,
lest
the
over-enthusiastic
youngster
spook
the
oddly-behaving
creature
with
the
funny
plumage.
He
encourages
everyone
in
his
tribe
to
check
out
the
fragile
creature
at
centre
stage,
making
sure
that
no
one
hurts
it,
and
it
does
not
hurt
them.
His
presence
is
a
source
of
safety
to
both
the
fragile
creature
as
well
as
the
females
and
the
youngsters
of
his
tribe
mesmerized
by
it.
Without
his
presence,
who
knows
what
impulses
the
females
or
the
youngsters
might
heed,
or
what
liberties
they
might
be
inclined
to
take?
He
sits
back,
observing
proceedings,
without
feeling
the
need
to
also
indulge.
He
is
a
natural
leader,
he
turns
to
leave
and
everyone
follows.
He
is
the
formidable
male,
and
it
is
clear
that
he
has
earned
the
respect
of
his
troop.
If
you
look
into
his
eyes,
his
face,
and
observe
his
demeanor,
you
cannot
help
but
wonder
what
he
knows
that
the
females
of
his
tribe
never
can.
And
he
did
not
learn
any
of
this
from
a
human
being.
He
is
no
chivalrous
white
knight,
fawning
over
undeserving,
grasping
females
regardless
of
their
conduct.
His
is
primal
knowledge
emerging
from
the
jungle.
What
is
the
nature
of
masculine
knowing,
without
all
the
bullshit
that
we
humans
have
to
contend
with?
What
do
men,
properly
developed,
know
that
women
never
can?
Women
have
sexual
power,
but
they
can
never
know
what
men
know.
It’s
as
if
nature
has
deliberately
established
a
divide
that
can
never
be
traversed.
There
is
no
crossing
this
Rubicon.
You
cannot
have
both
knowledge
and
sexual
power.
What,
on
the
other
hand,
is
the
nature
of
female
knowing?
For
this,
the
best
clues
lie
in
matriarchal
collectives,
like
bees,
ants,
meerkats,
bonobos
and
hyenas.
They
too
are
impressive,
but
not
in
the
same
way
that
our
video-clip
shows
the
silverback
male
to
be.
Now
I
don’t
claim
to
be
an
authority
who
knows
enough
about
gorillas
in
the
wild
or
otherwise
to
provide
a
definitive,
referable
source
accounting
for
their
biology
and
behavior.
But
I
do
know
that
this
singular
video-clip
has
impressed
me
in
an
unexpected
way.
Feminists,
both
male
and
female,
despise
the
fact
that
at
some
primal
level,
the
masculine
ideal
elicits
their
respect.
They
cannot
stand
it.
Deep
down
inside
they
realize
that
the
same
kind
of
respect
can
never
ever
be
earned
by
the
provided-for
sex.
That
is
why
feminists
are
trying
to
drive
men
down
to
their
own
level.
That
is
why
they
are
trying
to
turn
men
into
[their
impressions
of]
pleasure-seeking,
group-thinking
bonobos
[3].
They
cannot
stand
that
they
cannot
know
as
men
can.
For
all
of
women’s
sexual
power,
they
find
women’s
position
of
enslavement
and
inherent
ignorance
utterly
unbearable.
