Rationalisation hamster anyone?
Transcript of a segment from girlwriteswhat’s video 14:48 - 24:12
The whole video is worth listening to but these were the things I was trying to demonstrate in an earlier post. All I had to do was post factual evidence in a way that made it look as though I was treating these women in the exact same way that they treat men and the reaction was, as predicted, as abusive and vicious and hateful as you’d expect.
And they don’t even realise that that was the entire point.
-When I look at the numbers, the data, the statistics; all I see is that women are in much less objective danger in almost any setting than men. In fact even now that women are as free in their mobility as men are and as likely to be out and about in the world, they still represent the minority of victims of public sphere violence like muggings, stranger homicides and robberies.
Now, there’s a really good reason that women are naturally more fearful of violent victimisation but it’s not because violent victimisation of women is normalised or common. In fact it’s anything but. When even muggers and street thugs would by and large rather attack a larger, stronger man than a more physically vulnerable woman who would make an easier target.
Yet somehow feminists have managed to generate an entire industry out of pushing the idea that we live in a culture of normalised violence against women. Even though we know, we know that the majority of violent crime victims, the majority of war casualties and the majority of the victims of state and police violence are men. Feminists theorise that domestic violence and rape were masculine behaviors supported and encouraged by patriarchal assumptions designed to keep women in a state of terror but they had to ignore a ton of evidence in order to believe that. You know, the evidence pointing to female on male victimisation and tons of historical evidence of vigilante justice, convictions, pistols at dawn, public floggings of wife beaters, lynchings of black men accused of raping women and pretty much the entire chivalrous body of classical literature.
And how could they ignore all that evidence so easily, ignore hundreds of years of literature wherein women who are harmed are avenged by the socially acceptable male, where violence against women is a death sentence for the man who perpetrates it. How are they able to ignore that evidence in favour of a belief that society condones violence against women, dismiss it when it’s brought to their attention, try to recontextualise it, deny and suppress it and conclude that none of it is relevant? Well, it’s because their emotions tell them it’s right to feel that, it feels right to ignore all of that. It feels right to say that women are in danger.
Women are naturally more fearful for their phisical safety than men are because evolution selected for that, collectives are more conscious of women’s safety and more fearful of any risks that women suffer because evolution selected for it and feminists used all of this {indicates brain}, all of their higher reasoning, that great gift evolution has given us to bend and twist and pretzelise their conception of reality to comply their instinctive fears. They constructed what seemed like a logical excuse for women’s higher levels of apprehension and our obsessive need to be aware of the safety of women. If women feel more fearful than men then they must be in more objective danger than men. This is how they rationalised it and just to rationalise the emotion, they’ve resisted any and all evidence that doesn’t dovetail with what they believe must be true or they wouldn’t feel the way they do.
And how am I so sure that this is the case, that this is where all of this coming from, all from back here {indicates back of head} because the safer women get, in our society they’re safer than they ever have been, the more feminism and the wider culture seem bent on expanding the definition of threat and danger and violence and harm as it applies to women. To continue to rationalise women’s greater levels of apprehension and the collective’s obsession with women’s safety. We’ve gone from giving actual wife batterers public floggings and interpreting that as society condoning wife battering to considering a man “using logic” on his wife or calling her a bitch to be a violent crime against women.
It’s like we’re programmed as humans to ask on a minute by minute basis “What’s threatening women now?”, “What’s threatening them now?”, “Are the women safe?”, “How about now?” and as actual violent crime and victimisation of women has just dropped off we’re manufacturing new dangers that women face to give us an answer to that question that will justify how very important most of us believe that question is.
And men, feminist and traditionalist go along with it because evolutionary pressures have led men to a hell of a lot less concerned with their own physical well being and safety than with that of women. As a collective we opt for overreaction to any perceived threat no matter how absurd, “using logic”???, rather than underreaction because the emotional cost to us of an underreaction that goes wrong is just going to feel a billion times worse to our limbic systems than the cost of overreacting to a threat that turned out to be false and that set of value judgements has been wired into us for millenia.
I remember when I posted my video on systemic gendered violence, a man commented that he had watched that video footage of the women in the blue bra before and he was kind of amazed that he had not only been oblivious to the fact that one of the police officers covered the woman back up and pushed another police officer away to protect her but that there was a man no more than ten or fifteen feet away from her sustaining an even more vicious and prolonged stomping. And I really can’t imagine that the hundreds or the thousands of men who have been beaten and killed in the months prior to that incident had anywhere near the impact on his emotions as having to view one woman getting a stomping.
We’re just all naturally hypersensitive to idea of violence against women, every single one of us including me. And we’re all desensitised to the idea of violence against men. Every instance of the former, every possibility of it leaps out at us evoking this huge emotional response and it seems to be everywhere because we notice it every time we see it or sense it or even think about it or contemplate it and when we do, we’re just appalled. And we barely notice the violence perpetrated against men, it’s invisible to us essentially, it’s just as natural as breathing, it’s the way things are supposed to be. And the very fact that feminism could have crafted a theory wherein they say that women, a group no more likely than men to suffer interpersonal violence and much less likely to suffer from all other forms of violence, that women suffer systemic gendered violence that is normalised by society. It’s a theory that essentially disproves itself the moment you detach yourself from your emotions and look at all the data, the entire picture. And the fact that society has bought into that theory is further proof that it’s demonstrably false. It’s proof that violence against women is so repugnant to us that we can actually be convinced we condone it simply because it happens at all. At the same time, feminism and the wider culture have managed to convince us that violence against men is not normalised because it feels normal to us and it’s not systemic because acceptance of it is wired into our limbic systems. They’ve convinced us that violence against men, our biggest violence problem is our least pressing one simply because men aren’t as afraid of violence as women are, not even after men have been victimised by violence are they as afraid of it as women are. Now, how is all of that for a big steaming pile of cognitive dissonance?
