Another consequence of egalitarianism, which itself is a consequence of materialism, is the metaphysical monstrosity that is "Feminism": the assertion that men and women descend from the manifestation of the same primordial being and that they are precisely equal in both matter and spirit, an assertion that must be an utter impossibility, because two separate things or persons cannot be at the same time two and one, yet exist in manifestly varied expressions, a claim that amounts to tautology, a crime against meaning itself. Would the right term for woman be "manman"?
    It is however true that men and women descend from the same primordial being, but it must be added that men and women descend from different aspects of this primordial being and to simply treat men and women as equal in all respects is effectively a negation of knowledge, something quite in keeping with the attitudes of modern men. Moreover, and this is another metaphysically universal feature, men and women represent the material being that is a man and a woman, but besides this material question about sex, or gender as the moderns would prefer to have it, there is such a thing as a masculine quality and a feminine quality; it is however important to add here that these "masculine" and "feminine" qualities don't necessarily align on an individual level but they do however align on the level that is or best describes the metaphysical order of things (hierarchies), and this is why women tend, on average, to be more adept in certain fields and conversely why men tend, on average ,to be more adept and skillful in certain other fields, but this binary and rather coarse dualism of masculine and feminine does indeed fail to capture every feature, quality, and aspect of each individual, thus it was always necessary in traditional (normal) societies to further refine the proper limits of the social order, and this is why most traditional societies had a feudal and hierarchical character compared to the chaos of the contemporary world. From a metaphysical point of view, there can never be such a thing as "equality", because two different aspects of the primordial tradition cannot, as previously stated, take on the same manifestation in the material world, for that would amount to sameness or identity, which would mean that neither sex or individuality, something even more important to modern civilization, can be said to constitute differentiation of the primordial principle which would mean that the world is not "evolving" or "progressing" towards nihilism and entropy, but this state is already apparent and present, something claimed by certain "post moderns". I should also add here, that notions such as sex and gender are rather modern in the sense that they can be applied in a manner not essential but contingent to the person or society, another expression of individualism, and that therefore the only role these qualities should play are merely as something that is a part of the individual or society but never essential to the individual or society, to read more about this check out my "Collectivism & Individualism series".
    This conception of sex and/or gender is in keeping with the humanist axioms call for liberation from everything that doesn't belong to the rational domain, in this case the supra rational; further from this point of view, masculinity and femininity can not play any role, for they are qualities that cannot be quantified since they belong to a domain entirely outside the rational domain. Indeed, this is, as previously stated, a natural step away from knowledge and towards confusion, something that should be expected as a function of negation. To understand Feminism and the overriding principle that is egalitarianism one must therefore understand that all aspects of the temporal world that are manifestations of the cosmological order will always be considered immoral or wrong because they do not belong to the rational order, and as such they must be discarded and negated. To properly understand spiritual authority and hierarchy one must ascend the "reasoned" order, thus the true manifestations of the primordial tradition appears incomprehensible to modern men, and most of them even go as far as to pride themselves on this metaphysical ignorance, usually as a kind of social and political signaling.
    The question of "equality" between the sexes is, in light of what I have previously stated, a preposterous suggestion and something that I do not intend to dwell on further; I will add however, that the entire drive towards equality above all must be understood primarily from the point of view of an inverted cosmological order, and to borrow an analogy from the Hindu caste system: the Shūdras (शूद्र)—who belong to the caste least capable of receiving either divine instruction or the "Mandate of Heaven"—are manifestly not equal in aptitude to the castes that they are subordinate to, but this "subordination" is not and was never about the supremacy of one caste above the other, something that most modern men fail to understand, and in this connection the Indian caste system is, at least for the purposes of this post, analogous with the order of the sexes. The feminine quality is, for the most part, subordinate to the masculine quality, at least as far as the temporal domain is concerned, but quite the opposite of subordination can be observed in the order of metaphysics, where the feminine quality is closer to the source than the masculine quality; therefore it would be quite right to describe masculinity as metaphysically subordinate to femininity, but really this is not entirely true since femininity may not be subordinate to a lesser quality, but a better way to conceptualize this important matter is the fact that masculinity and femininity descend from the same primordial body and that therefore they are both expressions of the same spiritual authority which means that they are differentiated manifestations of the "primordial body", and for reasons outside the scope of this post femininity is closer to the spiritual authority and masculinity is closer to temporal power, which means that femininity extends by its very nature dominion of temporal matters to masculinity, and therefore it would be quite right to describe masculinity as ultimately subordinate to femininity, but nonetheless more capable in the temporal domain. I think the best way to describe this dynamic is by asserting the fact that it is womenfolk who bear children, but again do not allow this metaphor to confuse your conception of the cosmic qualities of the masculine and the feminine with man and woman; they are merely expressions of these qualities.
