What is a woman to do? In all places and all times, the answer has always been the same: bear children, raise them, and keep house. This was true of the Vikings of Norway in the 12th century, and equally true in China in the 15th century. Realistically, a woman should have at least threeContinue reading “Women Are Sex Objects”

Picking a Girl
Some of my relations were “mail order brides.” A working man in California chose a woman from a tiny, grainy black and white photograph in a book. She said goodbye to her family for the last time, got on a ship, and met her new husband. I think many women were not all that happyContinue reading “Picking a Girl”
The Amazing Queen Victoria
Of all of Britain’s monarchs, by their track record — the success of their countries during their reign — we might have to give the highest honors to Queen Victoria, who reigned from 1837 to 1901. This was a time when British Kings really did have a lot of power, although over time this diminished.Continue reading “The Amazing Queen Victoria”
Women Are Lost Without Male Guidance
In the past two weeks or so, there has been a burst of interest in the divide between Leftist females and — although hardly conservative — a lot Less Leftist males. In Poland: Scott Adams (the Dilbert guy) opined: “Peachy Keenan,” who had a pretty good book recently, recalls her own Libtard Era: In otherContinue reading “Women Are Lost Without Male Guidance”
Low Fertility in “Traditional” Societies
Although we generally attribute low birth rates in the US to “degeneracy,” birth rates are even lower among those Asian societies that are more “traditional” in character. Also, the divorce laws, and other such factors, are different than in the US, and generally more family-friendly. What’s going on? The first, and obvious, thing is thatContinue reading “Low Fertility in “Traditional” Societies”
Teen Birth Rate Crashing
This is mostly a good thing, since not many of these teens are married. Note the peak in teen births in the 1950s. The 1950s were about the best time, in terms of moral tone, in living memory, but already there had been a long deterioration from the way things were around 1900. The differenceContinue reading “Teen Birth Rate Crashing”
Women Opposed to Women’s Suffrage
Has anything positive been achieved by allowing women to vote? By all indicators, the result has been worse, not better. But, women themselves anticipated this; which is why most women did not support women’s suffrage. If we look at the 18th and 19th century history of Feminism/suffrage, we find that it was driven by unmarriedContinue reading “Women Opposed to Women’s Suffrage”
Our Polly
Our Polly is a sad slut, nor heeds what we have taught her;I wonder any man alive will ever rear a daughter;For when she’s drest with care and cost, all tempting, fine, and gay;As men should serve a cucumber, she flings herself away. Beggar’s Opera (1728) Young women will always “throw themselves away.” Unfortunately, nowContinue reading “Our Polly”
Jim on Marriage
Since I am mining Jim’s Blog for good material — which everyone should do — here are his thoughts from 2019 on Marriage. Like him, I conclude that we will need to form a new “Home and Family Tribe,” which will largely take the form of religion. There is no particular need for a newContinue reading “Jim on Marriage”
The Kids Are Alright
Despite the general tone of degeneracy, the reality is that young people today are engaging in less “high risk” activity than in any time in recent memory. You might call it a “regeneracy,” although it is rather disorganized, and mostly consists of people stumbling around doing nothing because they don’t like what’s on offer much.Continue reading “The Kids Are Alright”
