Drowning.

***

In the old days, if a person or couple was caught for committing an adultery, the adulter and adulteress would be put into a pig’s cage, and drowned in the river. Although the law in China never sanctified this style of execution, it was a widespread practice especially among the lower socio-economic group. 

Since this was an extrajudicial execution, not authorized by law, there was no proper process of deliberation. Generally, when a person was accused of committing adultery, the accused would be brought to the village’s community center. At the center, the Head of the Village and its elders would hear testimonies of the accused and witnesses and deliberate a verdict. The accused would be forced to identify his or her partner, who would also be brought to the center to face the elders and receive punishment. 

The adulter and adulteress will be bound with rope to limit their mobility, and then placed into strong bamboo-woven cages. These cylindrical cages were called pig’s cages because they were used to transport pigs. The villagers would carry the couple to the river and cast them into the river. After a considerable lapse of time, the villagers would retrieve the bodies and bury them. In some occasions, if a husband caught his wife in bed with another man, it would have been innocuous for the husband to carry out the execution on his own. 

In China the punishment for adultery seems to have been more secular than religious. Therefore the severity of the punishment for adultery changed with the view of its people. In more liberal era, adultery was treated with disdain and not worthy of any attention. While in other era, it was abhorred and was seen as a severe crime. 

These pig-cage drowning executions were prevalent only in secluded villages around the 19th century to the early 20th century. It was a modified version of a form of official torture used to punish and execute criminals, similar to dunking in the West. The pig-cage drowning punishment was only applicable to married women and women engaged to be married and their adulters. Improper sexual conducts that involved unmarried women and widows, even if their partners were married men, were flouted upon, but would not be considered a punishable offence.

Post Chinese Revolution, the Chinese government reformed the polygamous sexual double standard of the pre-socialist China and treated adultery of both gender equally. In modern China, adultery is no longer a crime but may constitute a ground for divorce.

Sharia Law (Islamic law) is, actually, rather moderate compared to the Old Testament. The difference is, Muslims still do it today. Here is sharialaw.com on adultery:

Note also the penalty for false accusations!

Unfortunately, there are many who think that stoning to death is a punishment laid out in the Qur’ȃn and thereby promoted by Muslims for acts such as adultery. The fact is that the Qur’ân never sanctions stoning to death as a punishment for anyone for any crime. Verse 24:2 stipulates the maximum punishment for proven adultery, and verse 24:4 stipulates the punishment for false accusation; neither verse mentions “stoning to death”:

الزَّانِيَةُ وَالزَّانِي فَاجْلِدُوا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِّنْهُمَا مِائَةَ جَلْدَةٍ 

“Strike the fornicatress and adulteress and the fornicator and adulterer on the body of each one of them a hundred times.” (24:2)

وَالَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَ الْمُحْصَنَاتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَأْتُوا بِأَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَاءَ فَاجْلِدُوهُمْ ثَمَانِينَ جَلْدَةً وَلَا تَقْبَلُوا لَهُمْ شَهَادَةً أَبَدًا

“Strike eighty times on the bodies of those who calumniate chaste women and who do not support (their accusation) with four witnesses, and never accept their testimony (because) it is they who are the disobedient (and break the law).” (24:4) 

For carrying out this punishment, four eyewitnesses (أَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَاءَ) are required, not testimony based on hearsay. If four eyewitnesses who were present and witnessed the adultery are not produced, the accusation is dropped and the accuser is considered a defamer who him or herself is to be punished. The purpose of this injunction is threefold: first, to abolish the Jewish and pagan custom of stoning adulterers to death and to provide an alternative to it; second, to express Allah’s extreme dislike for such an act; and third, to protect women from false accusations. By putting the very stringent condition of producing four eyewitnesses, the Qur’ȃn made such a punishment extremely difficult to carry out and essentially limited punishment to the rare instance where such an act was done in public. In addition, the aforementioned “striking”, if ever applied, is intended to be symbolic and not meant to inflict any physical harm. It is not logical for so called scholars to require capital punishment for adultery, if even for a crime as heinous as murder, the paying of blood money by the perpetrator is considered acceptable. 

Even though there is no mention of stoning in the Qur’ȃn—though there is a clear injunction on adultery (24:2–4)—many Muslim clerics,  when discussing the legitimacy of the practice of stoning in Sharî’a, cite instances in the Ahadith, the acts and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Even the most authentic of the books of Ahadîthcontradict one another on this topic. One reason for these differences is a confusion about nomenclature: The Arabic word used for “stoning” is rajam, رجَم, and for “stoning to death” is rajam hatt al-mawt, رجم حتٌئ الموت. There is no doubt that some narrations in the books of Muslim traditions (the Ahadith) mention rajam. The crucial point is the exact meaning of rajam, especially the meaning the Holy Qur’ân gives to this word. Such classical Arabic dictionaries as those of Qȃmûs, Lisȃn al-‘Arab, Tȃj al-‘Arûs, Lane, and Imȃm Rȃghib assign the following meanings to rajam: “to stone, to cast stones, to curse, to revile, to expel, to put a stone (on a tomb), to speak conjecturally, to guess, to surmise.” Rujûm, رجوم, means “shooting stars, to be thrown off, to be damned, to throw someone out with a curse.” Marjûm,   مرجوم, is “the one who is thrown out or cursed.” Yarjumû or yarjumûna, يرجمون , means “they pelted with stones, they condemned.” Arjumanna,  ارجمن, means “I shall certainly cut off all relations.” Narjumanna, نرجمنٌ, means “we shall surely excommunicate.” Marjûmîn, مرجُمين , means “those who are thrown out, despised.” Rajîm, رجيم, means “one thrown off (by a curse), rejected.” All these meanings can be found in Qur’ȃnic verses (cf. 11:91, 18:20, 19:46, 26:116, 36:18, 44:20). The root with its foregoing forms occurs in the Holy Qur’ân fourteen times, and not once is it used in the sense of stoning to death for any punishment. We read:

 فَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْآنَ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ

“And when you recite the Qur’ân, seek refuge with Allâh from satan, the rejected” (16:98). 

We do not seek refuge from satan , al-Shaytȃn, the “devil”), who is  “stoned to death”, but rather is outcast, rejected, and thrown out. The following words of the Qur’ân further clarify the meaning: قَالَ فَاخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٌ, “(God) said, ‘Then get out of this (state); you are surely driven away [or cursed] (from My mercy)’” (38:77). In the Ahadith (traditions), the Holy Prophet (pbuh) must have used the word rajam in this sense and not in the sense of “stoning to death,” رجم حتٌئ الموت, for otherwise he would have been acting against the Qur’ânic limit of punishment for adultery mentioned in 24:2. Without challenging the Arabic wording of the Ahadith, we need to carefully examine the meaning given to them in modern Arabic and their rendering into other languages.   

While the concept of stoning to death is not a Qur’ânic concept and should not have a place in Islam, it is endorsed in the Bible, which might explain how this practice crept into contemporary Islam. In the Bible, you read: “If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel. If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbor’s wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you” (Deut. 22:22–24). Stoning is a method of execution mentioned frequently in the Torah. The crimes punishable by stoning were the following:

• Breakingthe Sabbath (Num. 15:32–36)
• Homosexual practices (Lev. 20:13)
• Enticing others to polytheism (Deut. 13:7–11)
• Cursing God (Lev. 24:10–16)
• Engaging inidolatry (Deut. 17:2–7) or seducing others to do so (Deut. 13:7–11)
• “Rebellion” against parents, after repeated warnings (Deut. 21:18–21)
• Getting married as though a virgin, when not a virgin (Deut. 22:13–21)
• Rape (Deut. 22:25–27)

Prior to early Christianity, doubts were growing in Jewish society about the effectiveness of capital punishment in general (and stoning in particular) as a useful deterrent. Subsequently, its use was increasingly dissuaded by Jewish legislators. In the following centuries, the leading Jewish scholars imposed so many restrictions on the implementation of capital punishment as to make it de facto illegal. The restrictions were to prevent execution of the innocent and included many conditions for a testimony to be admissible that were difficult to fulfill.

Unfortunately, these older Jewish and biblical traditions, sometimes called “Israîliyȃts” crept into the fearful minds of some members of the Muslim “clergy” and have led to false conclusions and interpretations of several aspects of Islamic law, including injunctions regarding adultery. At the time of the Holy Prophet (pbuh), stoning to death was practiced by the pagan Arabs. The few instances of stoning to death that can be found in the books of Ahadith should be scrutinized for their timing in relation to the foregoing verses, whether the punishment was carried out by the Jewish community or for the context of the usage of the word rajam.

In the old days, an adulterous woman (or man) might get stoned after sex. I don’t mean smoking pot; it means being executed in public, in a fashion where the whole community can participate.

I don’t think this is such a good idea today. But, it is worth remembering that some societies went to this extent to keep marriages and families from disintegrating. I wonder what happened that made them decide this was necessary?

Leviticus 20:10 – And the man that committeth adultery with another man’s wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

Deuteronomy 22:22 – If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.

Leviticus 20:13 – If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

It is worth noting that Jesus himself thought this was a bit much.

And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

This is a funny episode, because the woman says that she has no accusers. She might be innocent. She was brought by the “scribes and Pharisees,” who are basically the agents of Satan. It sounds like they were playing a little trick on Jesus.

Even as late as the mid-19th century, sodomy was punishable by death in Britain. Here is British law on adultery:

Today, an adulterous woman can simply kick an honest man out of his house, take his children, and force him to pay her a monthly check for the next 15 years while she bangs a series of fuckboys, all the while receiving praise from all corners (even the pulpit!) about how “brave” and “empowered” she is, and how it was all really her husband’s fault.

Nice item by Helen Roy, at American Mind: “Thirty, Flirty and (Not) Thriving.”

We are now reaping the bitter rewards of a total failure of older American women to convey the inescapable reality of female biology to their daughters and granddaughters. Instead of roadmaps corresponding to reality, millennials were silently handed birth control and college applications; screens took care of the rest. …

As television filled the vacuum where the wisdom of older women once provided a practical, long-view sexual education, it filled the heads of the children it raised with delusions of grandeur. Because of programs like Thirteen Going on Thirty, as well as Sex and the City, Secret Life of the American Teenager, and Teen Mom, a new culture of shame emerged around youth and fertility. You’d have to be crazy, dysfunctional, low-IQ, or low-status to sacrifice the glamour of independent urban decadence, represented by the first two, for the catastrophic humility represented by the latter.

The way women raised on a steady diet of anti-natalist programming treat other women who marry and have children during their most fertile years (between the ages of 16 to 25) is how I imagine women once used to treat homewreckers: with a great deal of shame and judgment commingled with performative pity. The given reason is that she, the child bearer, has squandered her elusive economic potential. We regard young women with babies the same way we regard young men with face tattoos. What a dramatic lapse in judgment. What a waste. She becomes an outcast, an alien to the girls she once knew as friends. For women especially, shame is a powerful deterrent.

Unusually strong language here. I think some women are starting to realize that men have foreclosed on Girl’s Game: “Have fun” during your 20s (“Thirty, flirty and thriving”), snap your fingers and summon a Beta Simp around Age 30 to marry you, divorce him in a few years, get the house, kids, a monthly check from your former husband/present indentured servant, and keep riding the Cock Carousel after your divorce — aka, the Child Support Model of Marriage.

Men have fiiiiiiiinally figured this one out, and are saying: “Please stuff it up your ass.” These are Men with something to lose. A lot of other Men are lost to porn and video games, and never achieve a level of prosperity that can support a family. These men have nothing to lose, but nothing to offer.

Here, I want to summarize some common patterns that we see today. This is mostly for younger women and girls. This is what is happening to your older sisters.

A lot of women somehow make connections with a man when they are young, and eventually get married. Even if they get married when they are 27 or 30, they haven’t been single since they were 20 or 22.

But, there are also the other women. Commonly, around Age 28, they have their Epiphany Phase. Mostly, this means a realization that they really have to get married now, or never. However, the path by which women come to this is somewhat different.

Around this time, Sluts tend to become Whores. In other words, instead of hedonistic pleasure, they are interested in using sex to procure resources. They become picky, which might look less slutty at first, but is more whoreish. A guy not only has to look good, and promise a good time in bed, he has to spend money on her in some way. It soon dawns on them that the best kind of Whoredom is Married Whoredom. They become Gold Diggers. The lesser sort of Gold Digger is not in the class that can potentially snag a wealthy man. They would take any man who is willing to pay for her. They are looking for Captain Save-A-Ho.

But, also, there are different sorts of women. One is the Career Girl. She is perhaps not too slutty (although they often are), but usually she has been focused on school and work, and simply hasn’t spent much time and effort looking for a man. Or, since her financial needs are taken care of by the Corporation — she is Married to the Corporation — she has been “dating” basically as recreation. So, it hasn’t mattered whether a man might make a good husband, or if he is even interested in marriage at all. She has just been looking for someone fun to hang out with on the weekends before heading back to work. She has spent the last decade avoiding pregnancy. Typically, around Age 28, she realizes that this is not working. Finally, she admits that maybe she would like to have children. She starts her husband search. Typically, her standards here are Very High — especially income. She wants a man that earns a lot more than she does. Around Age 32, she realizes that this isn’t working either. There aren’t many men who meet her Very High Standards, and those men aren’t really attracted to older career girls. Among other issues, they have a hard glassy exterior, are commonly full of Feminist horseshit, and tend to be controlling and complaining, always making clear that a man is Not Good Enough. Husband, family and children are just not a priority in her life, and can never be as long as Career takes the top slot, but an add-on motivated primarily by a Fear of Missing Out. What man needs this crap in his life? Nobody! Now she is 32, and left with just a few years of fertility before Age 35, which is when women these days start making trips to the fertility doctor. Plus, she is not only 32, but single and 32. She still has to find a man and get him to marry her, commonly a multi-year project, before being impregnated (could take a while over Age 32), and finally having a child, probably sometime after Age 35, if she is lucky.

There are other women, not necessarily the serious Career Girls, and definitely not sluts, but just women who have been going along with the flow, the common norms of society, who also realize, around Age 28, that the flow isn’t working for them. They might even be virgins! But, nobody approaches them. They don’t go on dates, and they aren’t the type to be interested in hookups via Tinder, bars, or clubs. The men at their work refuse to interact with them romantically, this being a deathwish in the workplace these days for men. They thought things would “just happen,” but they are obviously not just happening. Basically, society has failed them. They thought that if they “went with the flow,” things would work out. But, today, things don’t work out. The typical path for these women too is similar to the Career Girl — “very high standards” accompanied by a lack of real-world men that meet those standards, that are also interested in them. And so they drift on past Age 32.

In the past, women who finally Settled for a real-world man who would accept them, would nevertheless finally be able to get married. But, that is becoming less viable now. Men have realized that marriage today is a terrible deal for men. They might be attracted to the idea of wife and family, but that is not what marriage today offers. Instead, it is the primary cause of Divorce Rape. Often, men realize this around Age 28 too — that is when their Big Head overpowers their Little Head.

Men have also discovered that they might want to avoid Women Who Settle. This woman will always consider herself your superior. She will be chronically dissatisfied. You were not her first choice. These men might be fairly prosperous in their way, but they remain Not Good Enough in her eyes. These men would be better off finding some humbler woman, typically younger, who appreciates him more.

These are very different types of women, but they all go through a kind of Epiphany Phase around Age 28. Often, this doesn’t work, and I think it is going to work even less in the future.

The point here, if there is one, is that women and girls should have their Epiphany Phase around Age 16. If marriage and children are going to be the main activity of your life — as they should be, and were for nearly all women — then do that from the start. Get going at Age 16 rather than Age 28. If you decide to be a Career Girl, then go ahead and do that. But, don’t blame me if you don’t like the consequences. I warned you.

A woman of twenty might really appreciate a man who is a moderately successful 30-year-old. He has achieved some success in his career, and can support a family modestly on one income, allowing his wife to concentrate on the children. But, this very same woman, who instead goes to college, and gets a job, and who, at Age 30, has achieved the same thing as our Man of 30, no longer appreciates him. He is Not Good Enough.

It is not enough merely to Get Married. The goal is not to Get Married. The goal is to be a Good Wife and a Good Mother with an Intact Family. Getting married is just one step toward that goal. Probably, only a minority of women will make it a goal of theirs to be a Good Wife and a Good Mother with an Intact Family. So, these women should feel a distinct sense of taking an alternative path.

This was an interesting statistic, from the Institute of Family Studies:

Basically, at least according to the results of this survey (including how many lies I don’t know), there are a lot fewer ho-hos than we usually think. Even in the decadent 1970s, 21% of all women were virgins at marriage, and 43% had only one previous partner — in many cases, probably the man she married. Only 2% (supposedly) had 10+ partners. It’s too bad we don’t have numbers for the 1960s and 1950s.

Today, of course, the numbers are pretty badly skewed toward the 10+ range. The 18% number is in line with anecdotal evidence that about 20% of women today (or, maybe 15 years ago) were sluts. However, the good girls are gone quickly. They form lasting relationships at a young age, and get married. If you look among the single women remaining after age 26, there are a lot of sluts, hoes, and single moms. If 18% of women have 10+ partners at marriage, but none of these girls (typical) begin a relationship leading to marriage before Age 26, then 36% of the leftovers are Sluts and Hoes. Plus, the Single Moms and Fuglies — a category that grows over time, as there are many women who look good at 19 but not so much at 28.

In practice, the Slut cutoff is around 15-20 partners, I think. This is about the point at which women become incapable of forming a lasting monogamous relationship. So, it is not arbitrary, but reflects some kind of brain chemical change in women.

Here we have a video of women who like being housewives. What a concept!

A woman simply living at home is a Woman of Leisure. She gets real busy when children arrive. Today, a housewife is even more important if you want to homeschool your children. About 11% of all children K-12 are being homeschooled today.

Notice all the hemming and hawing these women feel the need to do. They have simply chosen to have children, and care for them.

When a man hears the soft and gentle tones of these women’s voices, and their enthusiasm for homemaking, the idea of having a family becomes an attractive notion.

Today, we have an epidemic of blown-out party girls and feminist Career Girls nearing 30, and looking for their Captain Save-a-Ho. Most of them will destroy their own families within ten years, and steal their husband’s house and children, while making him a financial slave for years afterwards to a woman he hates. Avoid these women.

For those younger women, and older girls: You can actually start at the finish line.

Some worthy commentary on the way women should be vs. the way they are.

Yes, I know that there are many millions of women who want to get married and have children, some time after they have their Epiphany/Whoredom Phase around Age 28. But, no man should marry a woman who will not be a Good Wife and a Good Mother, and these are exceedingly rare among the burned-out leftovers.

In 2018, when this video was made, it was not too many men that had come to these conclusions. But today, in 2021, most of the better sort of men have figured it out. Just as the man says in the video, it will basically come down to this: Women either get with the program, or they will be left by the wayside. There will be no “negotiation.” We have proven, in the three years since then, that 90%+ of women will never move beyond the Rationalization Hamster. There is nothing to “negotiate” with. Just irrational babble that amounts to: “me me me me me me!” Women like Dr. Helen Smith have shown that women can get it; and also, that most women won’t. Corporations and the government will be their “cleanup men.” Good luck with that, girls!

“Undead Chronic” is one of those strange apparitions on YouTube worth noting. His account is “Undead Chronic XIV” because he was already banned 13 times.

Basically, Undead Chronic is a Fuckboy. He is — you could say — the Fallen. The Degenerate. A Lost Soul. The Undead. A Zombie. A Denizen of the Underworld. Living in Hell. I don’t think he would be offended if I say this. One result of this –as was the case also with RooshV — was that he saw, firsthand, how women destroyed themselves.

He concluded that the only solution was: No Hymen, No Diamond. Women who aren’t virgins are a Hard Fail when it comes to marriage.

So, Undead Chronic, the Player of the Rotting Flesh, became more of an advocate of Chastity for Women than 97% of Christian pastors today. I have heard that his videos have become popular among some Christian circles, where older women use them as examples to show younger women.

Women who aren’t virgins are also a lot of fun. But, they are not for marrying.

Denise Austin, fitness trainer from the 1980s, shows women how it is done at Age 64.
