The rule of women, the loss of male pride, and the loss of nationhood

An 18-year-old girl was chased in her car and driven off the road in rural Texas in the middle of the night by two Mexicans who raped and beat her and left her lying for dead along the highway. She walked and crawled a half-mile to find help, and may lose an eye. Assuming she is white, which is the logical assumption, this is part of the racial war against whites that has been unleashed by our compassionate immigration policy in which the only thing that matters is if “people want to work and contribute to our economy.”

However, VFR’s Indian reader living in the West has a different take on it:

In the past, before the real rise of the corrupt gynocracy [rule by women], this crime would or could have resulted in national outrage.

It really is like Lucretia and the Romans (except that the rape victim here was driving home at two a.m.! What was a good girl doing out so late?)

In any case, the gynocracy means also that we are no longer really shocked or horrified by these crimes, as our sense of the inviolability of woman’s virtue has vanished. It’s just another “violent crime” against a person—and will be treated that way.

I wonder what the Americans of 75 or 125 years ago would have thought about this. (Death penalty for rape in the past, as you have said.)

I think horror and rage would have possessed them.

What do you think?

Which leads me to this point: patriotism is strengthened in the case of America by a respect for the virtue of the female, as a nation of decent moral families—or those who move to and like to hear the preachings of such decency. Without it the bond of the country becomes less moral, or becomes shallower and simpler: personal physical security. More slavelike and despotic.

Gynocracy is destructive of the sources of patriotism, by attacking male honor and male national pride, and the spirited attachment and protection of one’s own. A man is not allowed to have “one’s own” in these matters—neither his daughter nor his sister nor his wife.

Among the early Romans, the rape of Lucretia resulted in the overthrow of the Tarquin kings and the establishment of the Republic.
