The Misogyny-Misandry Death Spiral (Re-Post)

By Ajax the Great (Pete Jackson)

(Originally posted on the Vive La Difference! blog)

With all that has been going on in the world lately, one common thread seems to be noticeable these days.  Scratch the surface of so many problems, and you will often find some flavor of misogyny lurking under the surface.

First, some definitions:

Misogyny:  hatred and/or hostility towards Women and girls

Misandry:  hatred and/or hostility towards men and boys

Misanthropy:  hatred and/or hostility towards humanity in general, regardless of gender

After the 2024 election in the USA, the 4B Movement (of Women to essentially boycott men) began trending stateside online, though it was already several years old by then in the Republic of Korea (South Korea), its birthplace.  Dig a little deeper into exactly why it originated there, of all countries, and you will see that they actually have a pretty massive and systemic misogyny problem over there.  It's often very subtle of course, and the fellas there always seem so nice and friendly to outside observers from the rest of the world, but beware:  a "kinder, gentler patriarchy" is still a patriarchy.  They are basically a traditional society that has rapidly (and unevenly) modernized, and still has a LOT of old patriarchal baggage to unpack.  And just beneath the surface, it is apparently downright horrifying for so many of the Women of South Korea, so much that so many want nothing to do with men at all if they can help it.  And it really shows most starkly of all in their all-time record low birthrates (lowest in the world currently, with a TFR of as low as 0.80-0.90 children per Woman, less than half the replacement of 2.1) which no amount of pronatalism seems to be able to raise (and not for lack of trying!).  

Even their utterly dystopian and Stalinist totalitarian neighbor to the north (the DPRK, or North Korea) somehow manages significantly higher rates of procreation than South Korea these days, so that really says something indeed!

Now zoom out to the world as a whole, particularly on the internet and social media.  Misogyny seems to be reactionary, refractory, and recrudescent in recent years all over the world, with the USA being the most recent ground zero for this ugly trend.  And in very recent years, especially online, you will also notice at least in some circles an equal and opposite reaction (i.e. misandry) per Newton's laws of physics, even though it is not systemic like misogyny is.  But it does appear to unwittingly give ammunition to the latter all the same, unfortunately.  And social media only amplifies both hostilities further, and it ultimately spills over into the offline world as well.  Zoom out even further and look at it on a longer time scale as well, and you will clearly see a vicious cycle and downward spiral occur as follows:

Misogyny begets misandry begets misogyny begets misandry begets misogyny begets misandry begets misogyny begets misandry begets misogyny begets misandry begets misogyny, and so on.

It's enough to turn practically anyone into a full-blown, all-around misanthrope!  At least then, you don't actually have to decide which gender you dislike the most.

This phenomenon is what I call the "Misogyny-Misandry Death Spiral", or MMDS for short.  And the MMDS is a negative-sum (lose-lose) game for all. It leads to nothing but tribalism, polarization, balkanization, and toxicity all around. As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. famously said, "Hate cannot drive out hate.  Only love can do that".

Divide et impera. Divide and rule. Rinse and repeat. While the oligarchs laugh at the "little people" all the way to the bank.

The results of the 2024 election in the USA are in fact both a cause and a consequence of this vicious death spiral, which threatens to destroy the country, and ultimately the world if left unchecked, as we are seeing.  Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind, basically.

Of course, men could very easily end this spiral right now along with the broader gender war if they truly wanted to, by "accepting the unacceptable" and surrendering to Women.  But unfortunately, there is nowhere near a critical mass willing to do so at this time yet.

ICYMI: William Bond's New Book: Mother God Hypothesis (Now Available In Blog Form As Well)

The great author and prophet William Bond's latest book, Mother God Hypothesis, has been published and is now available on Amazon UK and Amazon USA.  It is also now available in blog form as well here: https://mothergodhypothesis.blogspot.com/

To quote the abstract/overview of the book:

Book overview

If God is a God of love, why do we live in a world of suffering?

Atheists say the answer is simple: there is no God. Religious believers struggle to explain it. In The Mother God Hypothesis, William Bond offers a radical third possibility — one that draws on quantum physics, ancient archaeology, comparative mythology, and the fine-tuned universe theory to argue that the true nature of God is female.

Bond traces the evidence for a Great Mother deity back through thousands of years of suppressed history — from the goddess figurines of prehistoric Europe to the sacrificial/saviour gods whose teachings of unconditional love kept reappearing across cultures, only to be distorted by patriarchal rulers. He examines how the Gaia hypothesis, quantum mechanics, and the extraordinary fine-tuning of universal constants all point toward a cosmic intelligence that is nurturing, creative, and maternal.

At the heart of the book is a striking proposition: Earth is a school, designed by the Great Mother, where humanity learns how to love. Women, closer to the Mother's nature, serve as teachers. Men, driven by competition and aggression, are the students. And the suffering we see around us is not evidence of God's absence — but of an education still in progress.

The Mother God Hypothesis challenges both atheist materialism and patriarchal religion, offering a theology built on unconditional love, ancient wisdom, and modern science.

Excellent book overall.  Be sure to check it out!

Be A Human, Not A Ghost (And Let The Buyer Beware): Best Dating Advice For 2026 And Beyond

By Ajax the Great (Pete Jackson)

(Originally posted on the Vive La Difference! blog)

NOTE:  The somewhat controversial viewpoints and opinions presented here are my own, and not necessarily those of others on this blog or elsewhere.

To any and all of the readers here, as a corrective to all the BS on social media lately, here is the best dating (and/or hookup or FWB) advice I can give for 2026 and beyond, from a liberal, progressive, male feminist ally + Matriarchist ally perspective:

Ladies, if a guy says some flavor of that he "doesn't want anything serious right now", BELIEVE HIM the first time!  Regardless of whether he is saying it in good faith or bad faith, or whether the accent is on the "right now" part, you will NOT change his mind, and you certainly won't do so by sleeping with him.  And also, in terms of agency, autonomy, and empowerment, you really cannot have it both ways.  Hiding behind self-denial of agency really does women no favors at all whatsoever.

Also ladies, remember that if you jump in bed with a guy before you even have a label (not that there is anything wrong with that, of course!), don't expect faithfulness and exclusivity to automatically follow.  In fact, NEVER automatically assume that a man is exclusively with you unless he explicitly says so (and even then, "trust but verify", as the old proverb goes).  "Let the buyer beware", in other words.  Natch.

Fellas, remember that honesty is still the best policy regardless, and enthusiastic consent is the FLOOR, not the ceiling.  And of course, do NOT lie, manipulate, fractionate, gaslight, or otherwise deliberately lead women on.  But please do NOT read into this that you should somehow be "cruel to be kind" to women (by having one-sided "smash and dash" or ghosting after sex, for example) so they don't "get the wrong idea" (UGH).  Be a decent human being, not a ghost.  Basic human decency is the bare minimum, after all.  Women are PEOPLE, not objects.  Think "I and Thou", not "I and It", as Martin Buber said.  Always treat humanity (regardless of gender) as an end in itself, never solely as a means to an end, echoing Immanuel Kant.

And remember that "casual" does NOT have to mean "meaningless", "impersonal", "degrading", "one-sided", or anything else besides "no expectation of commitment".

(Consider putting the "friend" back in "friends with benefits", mutually of course.)

Also, fellas, if you are feeling lonely, unloved, frustrated, "friendzoned", or any variation thereof, STOP simping for "Stacy", and give "Becky" a chance.  Get yourself out there, work on yourself, and stop feeling sorry for yourself!  And for the love of all that is good, jettison the word "inc*l" from your vocabulary at once, and quit all such adjacent groups and forums cold turkey, and don't look back!  That word a self-fulfilling and self-defeating prophecy that literally NEVER ends well at all.

You're better than that!

And finally, for both primary genders (and otherwise), remember that if you cannot even be honest with yourself, how can you possibly be honest with each other?

Otherwise, you do you, live and let live.  Peace ✌️

(There, I literally just saved everyone thousands of dollars worth of therapy, lots of wasted time and energy, or much, much worse.  You're very welcome 😊)
