MEN
- Men are driven to overcome Nature, compete with other men, and control human events. They need only a place to flop, eat, throw their things, and prepare for tomorrows’ battles.
- Fortunately, when political and economic freedom prevails, the greatest legacy of the competitive male nature emerges. Men compete against Nature and among themselves. Their achievements create wealth. This generates economic growth that brightens the future for women and children.
- However, while men produce and problem solve in the normal course of masculine life, their primal ambitions don’t include a female except for sex. Only well-prepared women can overcome the tsunami of resistance in men, when they’re asked to swap their independence for family responsibility.
The question asked in Chapter Three pops up rephrased: How do women capitalize on patriarchy to gain and protect their wealth and their children? The answer: Women capitalize on strengths and minimize weaknesses of both sexes.
Being the relationship experts, women make their relationships work better. They intuitively know how to massage the male ego, harness the masculine drive, and help recover from manly discouragements. They use femininity to add color to every man’s B&W world, and then each woman selects the best of those screened to help fulfill her own hopes and dreams.
Chapter 7 tomorrow ends the series and describes the need for mutual rewards.
Speaking from the events currently being “screened” in my home, I wholeheartedly agree that it is up to women to add the ‘techni’cal color to what other people may be perceiving as black and white. Having already acquired Backing of Currency, she is free from the ersatz wealth that Men offer each other, basically. Knowing the value placed on capable wives, once they click their mouses (mice?) they are able to tap into domains that previously may have been hidden from them.
I do not understand, from your third bullet, how any woman would ever be able to “overcome” a tsunami, unless of course, you are implying that a “liquidation” must occur for this to happen. Resistance is fine, but the sums of some are still not as much as multiplication of many. Looking forward to your summations tomorrow, lol.
Your Preciousness Zephanie,
We have communication problems. I don’t understand you clearly. Other than the first sentence, the first paragraph leaves me ignorant. The second paragraph leaves me no better off, although I recognize the first part of the first sentence.
Could you give further details for this stranger to your generation, culture, or gender?
Guy
So sorry for the confusion. I was, for the most part, agreeing with you, and injecting what I thought was humor as I and my family watched The Wizard of Oz last night on TNT. I am a 26 year-old wife and mother of two, not born, but raised in the southern United States, with a B.A. in music. My generation tends to over-abbreviate things in their communication tendencies, which I believe will come back to bite them in their precious behinds.
Your Beauteousness Zephanie,
In The Wizard of Oz, did it show all those other men with no brains, no hearts, and no courage? For example, like those in Congress?
Guy
HA! MOCs with “no hearts, no brains, no courage”…. now THAT is funny! Sir Guy you made me laugh out loud
