"Support" by Sierra Koder Further thoughts about Feminism | Monday – February 9, 2026 Ah, the other day I wrote a post about feminism, which I've already linked to in the heading, but that post mostly covered the metaphysical side of feminism, and since I didn't mention some more "profane" aspects of feminism in that post, allow me to do that here. Here's a quote from my " Political Notes " page: " A more 'profane' reason for feminism could be because some women prefer a man who conquers her. Really, I am convinced that feminism, at least in part, can be thought of as a kind of rebellion against weak men, a way of provoking the masculine quality, and this would be understandable from the point of view of a hysterical and agitated woman, especially if she is young. "; I decided to quote myself here because this post will mostly cover that aspect of feminism, which I hold to be a certain and probably significant part of this fe...

Hindu depiction of Sri Sri Kali ( काली ) Feminism | Sunday – February 8, 2026 A nother 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 attitud...

Cape Florida lighthouse By Brice Cooper Rearing children | Wednesday – March 4, 2026 In this 21st century the question of children and really of childhood appears to be at the forefront of civilization, and this approach to children is really a rather new phenomena. For instance, the idea that a child's opinion should have any impact whatsoever is in fact so recent that it can only be said that rearing children in this way has to be not much older than perhaps, at most, 70 years old. Indeed, it appears that a lot of conspicuously hip and "modern" people tend to approach the modern matter of childhood in this regard, and really this is often another expression of feminism , or at any rate assuming that children are " qualified " is often an assumption than coexists with feminism wherever it is applied. But it should be noted that childhood, a topic that I have covered in the past , is a fairly modern concept as well, and really the only traditionalism within the ...

Four Rajput ( राजपुत्र ) wives of Ranjit Singh ( ਰਣਜੀਤ ਸਿੰਘ ) Arranged Marriages | Saturday – March 14, 2026 A rranged Marriages are the typical and normal way for young women to enter into marriage , and typically this marriage has been proposed, not by her future husband, but rather by her family and the family of her future husband, and it is really from this societal and familial arrangement were the term "propose" comes from, propose referring to a man attempting to betroth a woman. Of course, there are instances were it is normal for the man to propose directly to his future wife, but this is less common when young adults are involved: typically a man that is already married will propose himself, but it should also be noted that quite frequently and typically the oldest co-wife of a man married to multiple wives will propose to a younger woman, a lady, and this again could be understood as an alternative to the modern catastrophe of divorce , again this would be the cas...

King Shō Shin ( 尚真 ) Notes on Self-Defense | Tuesday – March 24, 2026 H ave I caused offense with all of my previous posts about the fragility of so-called men? Buh-huh-huh... Cry me a river. Cry me a river. The fact is that there can be no such thing as a man that is unable to defend himself; a man without lethality is an impossibility, there can be no such creature. Of course, lethality cannot be separated from self-defense, but this does not mean that the primary goal of self-defense should be a lethal outcome, but it does mean that self-defense contains within it, as a principle, the possibility of lethality, and indeed I do not believe that lethality in and of itself is a bad thing, because it would serve the cosmological order right to eliminate disturbances , and this is of course the other side of the metaphysics of crime . All of this should be obvious, but I gather that there are some persons that still fail to understand this, especially if they insist upon being "offen...

Tibetan ( 卐 ) Prajñāpāramitā Illustration ( ་ ཤེས་རབ་ཀྱི་ཕ་རོལ་ཏུ་ཕྱིན་པ་ ) ( प्रज्ञापारमिता ) The Problem of Raising Boys | Tuesday – July 21, 2026 F or some time it has been fancy to consider an abortion  if the fetus turned out to be female, especially in the Far East, but this practice has really been to the detriment of those societies and perhaps more so to the economy of those societies, especially if we only concern ourselves with the largesse of the purse, or the not so largesse of the purse, really if we only concern ourselves with materialism, do also read " What Should the Ratio of Men to Women Be? ". But I should add that even profane scientists have finally reached the conclusion that it would be stupid to abort female fetuses, regardless of the matter of doctrine, or rather if doctrine is involved in the decision or not, which it would do good to presume that it would not be, in most cases that is, although there are certainly cases where doctrine must be sep...

Hindu ( ॐ ) Depiction of Virāḍrūpa ( विश्वरूप ) Femininity > Masculinity? Sunday – March 22, 2026 H aving made some observations about the concepts of femininity and masculinity , I do need to qualify some of my earlier statements; I am also directing you to my "mini series" on feminism, you may read part one of that series here . I should also clarify that the purpose of this post is not to engage in an overall "strategic discourse"; that is to say I am not going to redact some of my earlier statements in this post. Again, the purpose of this post is to qualify and to further refine my views on the undeniable intercommunication between the qualities of femininity and masculinity, and this clarification also provides an ample opportunity to begin this post by clarifying the obvious, yet somehow evasive truth: that the substantive quantity that is sex is quite distinct from the essential qualities of femininity and masculinity, and really the idea that men are s...

A rare example of a Shakta Ardhanarishvara ( अर्धनारीश्वर ) Hindu ( ॐ ) depiction Beauty Standards | Thursday – April 23, 2026 H ahahahahaha! Beauty standards ... HA HA HA HA HA! What a joke and what a big fat lie, and yes I used the word fat for a reason. There are no beauty standards, at least not in the year of our lord 2026. But since I brought up fat people , or the word fat to be precise, I suppose that it should be just as well for me to point out that the vast majority of people are fat, and if you consider this a beauty standard, then you have very low standards, and actually those standards do not qualify, read more about that here .     Recently I wrote about anorexia again, which I must say is a funny subject to be right about, and I have been thinking more about fat people and skinny people, and how they relate to the essential side and substantive side of life, and yes it is pretty obvious that fat people are quite substantive. I can go on, but I am not a hater,...

Aniconic representation of Dharmakaya ( धर्म काय ) "Sarvavid Vairocana" ( वैरोचन ) The Primordial Body | Friday – February 13, 2026 I n all the sincere and true traditions of the world —that is to say, traditions that are derived from the great primordial unity —the notions of quality and quantity are central in the conception of the metaphysical order of things. That is to say: the notion of a pure substance where the essence of all possibility (manifestation) is situated atop the natural order of things ( sacred hierarchies ); and where essence is substance manifested at the various planes of the creation, particularly within the temporal domain. This primordial body, or unity as we shall soon see, can be understood from various metaphysical point of views, but they all converge around the ontological delineation between something that is of pure possibility—in Buddhist tradition the pure substance of the Buddha, Dharmakāya ( धर्म काय ), or the unmanifested, Acintya ( अचि...
