The Gendered BUTT-Game

 

Looking at a picture of an elderly woman staring at a handsome and scantily dressed young man, many would ask: WHAT IS SHE DOING THERE????? Well, that’s a really silly question because to me that's obvious: She is admirering a well-formed male butt, maybe even dreaming of undressing it - and why not? If I was asked that question I would say, because it breaks up the gender-game of "each to his/her role", and she, being an elderly woman, is still not supposed to feel that way. However, surprise, surprise, women have sexual drives too, which also goes for this woman even though she may be too elderly to be considered "beautiful" by men.

In a Patriarchal society something like this will be seen as "natural", and if such a situation raises some eyebrows that will be all. Most will see it as some kind of funny "joke" on the "Men will be men"-theme. Age does slow down certain abilities in the male sex, whereas it often will work the opposite way with women. Being of an age when women were raised to believe that their status was built on male notions of their beauty and biological usefulness, one may argue that this not-so-young woman actually (re-)gains her individual personality through her desire. 

One more surprise: Women may use false eyelashes, get surgical alterations of feminine parts of their body, and, to their surprise and disappointment, men don't fall for any of it. But lo and behold, neither do many/most women go for fake muscle-push-up-Tarzans who are so deep into e.g. body building that they in reality are not able to fall in love with anyone but themselves. Who would most often win the seduction-game, Einstein or Tarzan? Well, not so pretty Albert did prove that women fell for him:

Murdered By Cow-Licks


Well, some kinds of love may be LETHAL ....
 
Some murders read more like a joke than anything else, but this one is really, really weird. Actually, it's so very weird that one wonders whether it's true or not that a man was murdered by his wife in a most unusual manner in 1902: She salted him by putting salt on his hands, feet, etc. when he was very drunk. When she was done, she took him out to the meadow where their cattle were. Cows being cows, they went crazy over the salted human, and presumably licked him to death, which, of course, was what his wife was after .... 

Why would she do anything like that? Well, Mr. Foley had beaten her up as well as mistreated her in various ways, which is never a good idea as some women are reputed to be very vindictive as well as quite devious ....

No Peace For Beheaded Queen Anne Boleyn?

 

Yes, Anne Boleyn (ca. 1501-1536) did become the Queen of England (1533-1536), but as we know, she didn't STAY queen as she was jailed and beheaded for a variety of not very likely "crimes". 

Sitting in Tower, she must have felt abandoned and let down by her husband, Henry VIII. She may have found some solace in the love and comfort she had from her loyal ladies-in-waiting, but it didn't save her from the expert executioner, her husband had brought over to rid himself of this woman whom he had adored for years, but whom he now found burdensome.

When her head fell, her ladies-in-waiting swept it in a cloth of some sort, but then it disappeared with the rest of her dead body. There have been many suggestions as to where she was buried, but no certainty: Where is her dead body, and could it be because it has sort of disappeared that she seems to have been robbed not only of her life, but of her "eternal rest"??? As it is, after death, she has turned into a very famous ghost, roaming some of the places that were of special value to her when she was alive. One of these is Blickling Hall where she was born. It has been said that her spirit may be expected to appear on May 19th, the anniversary of her execution. Some give very vivid and dramatic accounts of how her ghost comes in a carriage drawn by headless horses and driven by a headless coachman. As it that wasn't enough, people also say that her ghost is carrying her own severed head!

No, this is not supposed to be Anne, but it might have been as she has been called the "most widely travelled ghost": She simply has a way of appearing everywhere, even in modern vehicles, like e.g. trains. Very weird indeed, but it indicates an ongoing interest - and maybe even love? - of the poor, beheaded queen by the English population, that is very telling. She wasn't a typical "English rose", but her fate was touching, and people feel for her.

The Missionary Who Was Converted Into Atheism


The evolution of religion, i.e. the concept of God, is very interesting as it tells us something about the development of society. However, it's much more intricate than just stating what seems to be the general rule: God started out as female, but had a kind of sex-transformation with the new Patriarchal pattern that was instituted when farming became the "normal way to live". This goddess was the Supreme Deity and she covered all aspects of life, although she often is described as a god of fruition. To really dig deep into this area of history and ideologies would take some serious precautions as it's obvious that science sees these early deities through the tainted glasses of Patriarchy, thus misrepresenting an important ideological development.

The Abrahamic religions find status and authority in what is considered genuine messages from "God" in writing, like e.g. The Bible: Yahweh - who started out as one of the "toyboys" of the supreme God, namely the goddess Asherah - ended up claiming to be the only true deity of the entire world. One may feel about that as one chose to, but no matter what, it's obvious that this belief has not been without its implications. However, I agree with Napoleon when he stated the importance of keeping the religion of the then post-Revolution-society survive because it stabilized the social institutions, like e.g. the class system of "rich" and "poor". 


That should turn religion into the main gluing system in any society, and one must admit that it seems to play an important role in most societies - and for the same reason: It's the what keeps it all together. That said it becomes even more interesting to learn that there actually are a few societies in which religions - namely institutionalized faith systems - are of no interest whatsoever. Religious systems are seen as superstition and that makes it quite difficult for Western missionairies to do what they came for when visiting these societies. Actually, it may be impossible, and the missonairies could end up as Atheists like e.g. Daniel Everett, who went to the Piraha-tribe in the Amazonas to study and convert them.

To me it seems that he had a rather naive idea of the power of The Biblical scriptures: He thought that "The Bible should be able to speak for itself. So my daily activities among the Pirahãs were mainly linguistic, trying to figure out the language well enough to do a good translation of the New Testament." Also, he "would often talk to people about my faith and why it was important to me". The Pirahas must have been very polite as well as gentle people not to walk out on him, but he ended up realizing that he was toiling in vain as a missionary when one of the men said to him: "The Pirahãs know that you left your family and your own land to come here and live with us. We know that you do this to tell us about Jesus. You want us to live like Americans. But the Pirahãs do not want to live like Americans. We like to drink. We like more than one woman. We don’t want Jesus. But we like you. You can stay with us. But we don’t want to hear any more about Jesus. OK?" Then, referring to the previous American missionaries among them, he added, “Arlo told us about Jesus. Steve told us about Jesus. But we don’t want Jesus.” The other men present seemed to agree with him."

Little by little Daniel Everett came to question his own faith, and if he isn't a fullfledged Atheist by now, he sure is bordering on this modern kind of religious disbelief .... 

Or as he put it himself: "All the doctrines and faith I had held dear were a glaring irrelevancy in this culture. They were superstition to the Pirahãs. And they began to seem more and more like superstition to me."

A Career in Feathers


The biography of Faith Bacon (1910-1956) reads like a well-known nightmare of female ambitions turned foul with that enemy of women who rely on looks, namely old age. As a young woman, Faith was hailed as "The most beautiful American dancer" and "The most beautiful woman of the world", but she ended up a shabby "bag-lady".

Early on her ambitious mother lined her daughter up for a career based on her looks. When Faith was 13 she took her to New York as yet another part of her plans of finding rich "sugar-daddies" for her - or for both of them. As it is Faith was suspected of being a lesbian, but this rumor may have been aired by her mother in order to keep non-millionaires - and this happened before the rise of our days' billionaires - away from Faith: No hanky-panky without money or the ability to further the career of the young dancer. Faith's marriage to the lyricist Sanford Hunt Dickinson has been seen as a cover-up by some, as they never lived together. That may be as it is, as her entire life was full of lies, e.g. about her Mom, whom she had to call her "sister".

For several years, a very young Faith toiled as a chorus dancer, living on a diet of "nothing" in order to keep the body that gave her, and her mother, an outcome. However, 17 years old Faith moved to Paris, but she didn't have her breakthrough until she went back to New York three years later: She invented the "fan dance" and made a career as a nude dancer, in a performance that was seen as extremely "advanced", so to speak.


At that time, it was OK to be nude on the scene as long as one didn't move, and somehow she succeeded in performing within those legal and moral limits. None the less, she was indicted for "immorality", but that didn't make her lose her spirits as something like that was good for the career of a nude dancer, and she ended up being very famous. 
 
 
At some point, other - and younger - dancers learnt from her and, so to speak, "stole" her dance design. She took one of them - namely Sally Rand - to court, but didn't gain anything by that, as her special feather dance wasn't copy righted. At around that time, it had become known that she had become a little too keen on alcohol. 

She may have had talent for e.g. acting, but didn't do much to start a new career in the movies. To me, it looks like she simply lost faith in the future, and destitute at 46 years old, she lept to her death from a window.

Gain Power Through Love

 


The female and the male worlds consist of overlapping as well as separate sections. As most of these sections are entwined they in many ways mirror each other: What's considered a good and, more or less, acceptable behavior for men in the "male section" is most often seen as the opposite for women in the "same male section": "Men are men, and women are women" which means each to his/her socially defined gender role. For instance, we still harbor loads of ideas that we have inherited from former generations, especially about sex and e.g. social status which in its turn leads to the recognition of the double standard by both sexes. They may not live by it, but they know what it is.

That’s a fact I came to think of when I heard that the next trend in pulp ficion is supposed to be some kind of a revival of the old ”romances”-genre. I wonder whether that means that someone like e.g. the pink-loving as well as best-selling Barbara Cartland will be having a renaissance. Well, that I doubt, but there are traits in her writings that I suspect may be revived and then presented as a new trend, as I’ve seen modern writers on several subs discussing writing something like it themselves. 

Wikipedia: "Barbara Cartland (1901 – 21 May 2000) was an English writer who published both contemporary and historical romance novels, the latter set primarily during the Victorian or Edwardian period. Cartland is one of the best-selling authors worldwide of the 20th century.

Her numerous novels are not what I call "literature", but it's interesting as a social "marker": A Cartland plot was like a fixed entity of all her books: A woman, young and innocent, without any previous sexual experiences is being noticed by a RICH, noble, but most often, demure and disillusioned man who has given up on love, e.g. ”true love” as opposed to something sexual. When it comes to ideology these romances of young, virginal women gaining status in The Patriarchy by making noble and rich men fall in love with and marry them represent the opposite of what one finds in the porn-pulp that so many men love. In those there are lots of accessible women, ready to becoming a new, free notch in the belt of some man who is described as a sexual super-hero. What happens in porn - and some Western romances - would figure as a tragedy in the old romances of, e.g., Barbara Cartland. 

That means that not so long ago, each of the sexes has – or had – some easy to read pulp fiction that confirmed the general belief in the sex roles of their society: Both the male and the female pulp genres gave their readers the feeling of success for their individual gender-stereotypes. As it is, I doubt that the genuine Cartland-romance is the genre that some authors believe will have a renaissance, but who knows, it may be what the woman of today want when she is in need of a dream-fix to make her go on in a misogynistic world ....

The Epstein-Files

Many non-tRumpians are desperate for the so-called "Epstein-files" to be released. The fact that that hasn't happened yet, and that America has ended up in an unfortunate Shutdown which puts a severe strain on the American people will make even more of them want to see that release as soon as possible: The obvious need to keep the files secret may be the real reason for the Shutdown. In the imagination of the, by now, quite exhausted American people the Epstein-files have been turned into the magic key to how to get rid of The Conman, tRump. They already know a lot about the allegations against him by the girls and women he presumably abused with Epstein, and they expect the files to give some information about even more pedophile or "just" sexual crimes which may get him indicted. However, we know from e.g. Ghislaine Maxwell that there also were videos, and some of these seem to have ended up in Russia. In my opinion videos must be much better evidence than lists in writing, but I may be wrong, as it's obvious that the tRump administration really, really doesn't want the files released for public scrutiny, so after all, they may be DYNAMITE!

I, for one, suspect that The Orange Menace was more than a friend and customer of Epstein. If the allegations of one of the victims, Maria Farmer, is right then his then wife, Ivana, may have been into trafficking herself for a while which also makes her husband a suspect. In my opinion there are details in the tRump-Epstein-relationship that hasn't been seen - or seen for what they are - as Maria Farmer has told of how she, Ivana and her friend, Ghislaine went out scouting for under age girls to the Epstein-trafficking-business. If that's true then it opens up to many new questions about the real nature of the friendship of tRump and Epstein.

As we know tRump definitely was a close friend of Epstein, but why did they (presumably) fall out over one of the Epstein-girls, Virginia Giuffre, when there were so many more to chose from? The way tRump has described the end of the long friendship with Epstein over her indicates that both of these men saw her as some kind of sales object, merchandise, or at least "property". To me that looks like the grandson of a German pimp, namely tRump - and his then wife, Ivana - were into sex trafficking themselves, at least for some time, and maybe just for the "fun" of committing such a crime. 

The files may tell about even more grave crimes, and I for one wonder at the fate of one girl who seems to have "disappeared". What happened to her, and is she even alive today? The only way to find out may be the release of the files - or of some of the videos. However, even as I claim this release I feel that those of us who do that may be duped into focusing on something that is neither magic nor a key to much of what went on in the world of tRump and Epstein. While we focus on that a lot of events tell of an ongoing political coup that should have been stopped long ago, but which wasn't recognized as what it is ....

Thinking About the Intricate Pattern of Suppression

 

What nonsense! As if women only need medical attention when they are in the child-bearing age. Nothing could be more wrong - except one thing: The very idea that women always should do with medical attention. As we know that's what the infamous "Project 2025" is implying, at the same time uttering the assumption that women are some kind of "breeding machines" who willingly will give birth without any kind of medical and economic help. 


Up through history women have been "paid off" in ideas, that seemingly eliminate the, more or less, elicit the stigma of being a woman in a Patriarchy. Religion, common superstitions and doctored historical accounts of "how it has always been" have claimed that women are the "inferior sex". Women, wanting to find an acceptable position in such a poisonous social situation, will be easy prey for whatever makes them feel less worthless than they have been portrayed by their suppressors. That's the point of special interest to me as I know that what makes suppression work is what seemingly turns it into something "good" to the one who is suppressed.

Joseph Goebbels should not be someone to admire, but he sure did have an eye for propaganda, and he knew how to use his knowledge. He is not the one who invented the "Kinder-Kuche-Kirche"-ideology which was set to assign women their special role in society as it goes much further back in history. However, he - as well the Nazified German society as such - used this ideology, to suppress women. 

 

The seeming "glorification" of women and their maternal role in society gave the suppressed gender a loophole into a kind of acceptance that in reality was more of a "noose" because they didn't have any other useful options.

These days many women have their tubes tied, not to get pregnant, because they know that in the tRumpian Hellhole of today they shall have to fend for themselves, even with little or no medical and economic attention. Those who fell for the "Kinder-Kuche-Kirche"-scam in former times may have become CEOs, etc. these days. They may still want to have children, but also they may turn their wishes for progeny into a deep love of their "furbabies". Such a family doesn't even take a husband or father ....

Porn as Liberator of Women?


As sex in a patriarchy is most often defined as a power struggle it's difficult to agree to Ovidie's suggestion that porn is a form of female emancipation. After all, words may have been given the power to define sexual interactions, even though the most common definitions don't hold water for a more close scrutiny: For instance, for a long time sex very often was described as "he got his way with her", as if it was all his doing. It's definitely not a definition made in Nature, but in Patriarchal societies: There are many "Mrs. Robinsons" out there, seducing whomever catches their eyes. However, somehow the idea of men as the "aggressor" is still (more or less) valid: Men are the seducers, proving their masculine superiority by getting women to sleep with them - something which they may even brag about.

Ovidie is of another opinion than the general one about the sexual roles, and, by the way, she is a French actress, movie director, writer, journalist as well as a former porn starWhen entering the porn industry she was a very active feminist, and before trying out porn for herself she was sure that the female stars were subjected to all manners of suppression and degrading situations. However, she came to see that they themselves felt that they were gaining power from their work - and, after all, it is a job!!! - so she decided to try it out for herself.

 


She saw her porn experience as extremely interesting as a way of understanding something about the female sexuality, femininity as well as bodily expressions. Surprisingly enough in her opinion the female porn stars didn't come out as "victims", which was how they were commonly described, but as strong women made stronger through the performance of sexual acts. 

To me that looks as a very limited "freedom", but I admit that sexual rights are an important part of the picture as such. As it is, I hold that freedom should be the right to do whatever one wants within the legal limits of one's society and the personal limits of each of us. That also pinpoints what's very important in any society: The ability to earn a living, to have a meaningful career and to say "NO!!!" if that's what one wants to do when one is being targeted by that maybe not all that seductive guy.
