I am a firm believer that the sexual binary is evidence that the Chinese are onto something when they posit that Yin and Yang balance each other.
It’s a good metaphor for a reality we all should recognize: there really can be too much of a good thing. Justice and mercy, philosophy and poetry, truth and beauty; while not exactly opposites, they are different and complementary. Not at all like good and evil, which are truly opposites.
But there is mounting evidence that, along with the breakdown in our understanding that men and women are fundamentally different, our society has lost the balance between important masculine and feminine traits that together take civilization to heights that either set of traits could not, on their own, carry us to the heights to which we should aspire.
Put bluntly, our society has become excessively feminized, and in the process feminine traits have not just been elevated to unreasonable heights, but in the process they have become distorted beyond all recognition.
Justice, at least justice as retribution, is a derivative of masculine traits, while mercy and empathy are more feminine. In male-dominated societies, punishments are physically harsh; in feminine societies, punishments can often be dispensed with altogether, with some exceptions (which tend to get punished in different, and often hysterical ways).
That’s how you get Luigi Mangione becoming a hero, or in this case Lindsey Clancy getting lionized and showered with support and money.
Over 25,000 Lindsay Clancy fans have now raised over $835,000 after she admitted to murdering her three young children.
The GoFundMe account has been flooded with positive messages from her female supporters who are convinced she is the victim.

It’s not that women cannot be cruel, as cruelty is a universal human trait; it’s just that the cruelty is usually doled out for a different set of crimes, which tend to be breaking social norms, not for hurting individual people. And if the crimes can be “contextualized” through well-crafted stories, they can be forgiven.
Lindsey Clancy was a nurse who killed her three children, which would normally warrant the harshest of punishments. But Clancy has a sympathetic backstory, real or constructed, and as with Jason Arday, Jussie Smollett, or Luigi Mangione, her vile actions can be attributed to being “victimized” in some way.
These are people who have never struggled in their lives, so nothing is real to them. They see the suffering of others like a movie or a TV show. The whole Lindsay Clancy thing is just “Team Edward or Team Jacob” applied to a real life tragedy, and they’re arguing fan theories. https://t.co/RFDTqcTJ8J

The same is true for rapists and paedophiles who also happen to be illegal immigrants; women and feminized men will go to extraordinary lengths to ensure they don’t get punished, because their backstory appeals to a particular type of hysterical women obsessed with defending “victims.”

Kyle Rittenhouse, for instance, shot three men who tried to kill him, each of whom was a criminal with histories of violence. One attacked him with a skateboard; another pointed a gun at him. At least one was a paedo, another had violently abused family members.
But because Rittenhouse was defending businesses during a riot created in the name of Black Lives Matter and George Floyd in particular, those three evil men were considered victims, and Rittenhouse the aggressor in need of severe punishment. They were violent in the cause of “social justice,” while Kyle was protecting law and order, and hence pushing back on this perverse expression of what their supporters saw as empathy.
Helen Andrews has brilliantly argued that the feminization of society has created the perversity of “wokeness,” where the increasing dominance of women in our institutions has created a hierarchy of victimhood that has become a substitute for rules- and order-based judgments. Feelings have replaced rationality, and the feelings themselves can be unpredictable, based almost entirely on the stories one can weave to define a conflict.
Trans “women” are victims, so they can be put in women’s locker rooms to masturbate to little girls or imprisoned with women in order to rape them. Challenge this, and you will be destroyed, despite the manifest injustice of doing so.

“Social justice” replaces actual justice. Largely because women are much more socially oriented, in both a good and bad way.
Recognizing this does not require prioritizing male virtues, which, in excess, produce their own cruelties. Doing so gets you Sharia law, which is objectively evil as social justice warfare. But, on the other hand, we need to recognize that social justice warfare is just as bad as Sharia law; it’s just another form of tyranny.
Jason Arday dying at just 40 is sad, and I have sympathy for his family. But I don’t understand how the takeaway from all of this is that we now need a law limiting how long the media can cover someone.

Jason Arday dying at just 40 is sad, and I have sympathy for his family. But I don’t understand how the takeaway from all of this is that we now need a law limiting how long the media can cover someone.
Serious questions had been raised about plagiarism and his academic record. Journalists looking into those claims were doing their job. His death doesn’t suddenly make those questions illegitimate or mean the scrutiny should never have happened.
You can feel terrible about how this ended without pretending he was being investigated for no reason.
Much is being made of Jason Arday’s suicide, and the argument is that he was metaphorically lynched by a racist mob; yet these same people cheered Charlie Kirk’s murder and hounded Mike Adams, a criminologist whose social media posts offended the woke mob, into suicide.
His death was seen as justice, just as trans activists constantly fantasize about the murder and sexual abuse of J.K. Rowling.
Rowling and Adams spoke truths that the SJW disliked; they challenge and break the stories that the SJW need to believe, just as they need to believe that sterilizing and mutilating children is a form of kindness, and if you don’t acknowledge that, they will wish you dead, or even celebrate those who kill you.
Male and female virtues are complementary, and when combined they make something far more powerful and elevating than either alone.
Without each other, though, the human race not only devolves into cruelty, but it will literally disappear.
Speaking of which, along with the feminization of society, we have seen not just a social and moral decline, but an actual decline in reproduction itself. The only Western society with a birth rate at or above replacement. While every other industrialized society is incapable of reproducing itself, Israel has a birth rate well above replacement.
And which Western society is most despised by the feminized left?
Israel. It is still strong enough and self-confident enough to believe in itself, and therefore must be crushed.
Think about that.
