The Effect of
Sexual Deprivation on Women

Note: This summer I am reprising and revising some articles that predated my web
site.)
We live in a culture that doesn't admit that
women need sex every bit as much as men, if not more.
Conservatives like to put women on a romantic
pedestal. Women are virginal and sexless. Feminists deny women need men for
anything.
"Women are made to feel guilty for needing men,"
my wife said. "We're told we're weak, co-dependent or lacking in self-esteem."
My 15-year-old son has also inculcated this
message from TV: "Women don't need sex," he said. "They're just doing men a
favor."
Sex and love have become horribly confused. When
religion held sway, they were inseparable (i.e. marriage.)
But today "sexual liberation" has freed sex from
love. It has taken love's place. Millions of men and women behave like addicts.
They use sex to assuage a desperate craving for love that only it can satisfy.
DESPERATELY SEEKING LOVE
An "independent" movie, "The Business of
Strangers" explores the effect feminism has had on modern women. Writer/director
Patrick Stettner illustrates how American women have traded love for the
sterility, banality and inhumanity of corporate culture.
Two women are stranded overnight at an airport
hotel while on a sale trip. Stockard Channing plays "Julie Styron," successful
divorced 45-ish VP sales whose best friend is her secretary.
Julia Stiles plays Paula Murphy, a tough 25-ish
"writer" who works the overhead.
The movie shows how career has supplanted family
for women like Styron. Feminism promised that women could have both, but this
did not work out.
Forty seven per cent of 40-something women with
professional degrees have no children. Only 14% of these women said they didn't
want children. ("Creating a Life: Professional Life and the Quest for
Children" by Sylvia Ann Hewitt)
Styron is fired without warning. But she is
oddly indifferent when she immediately lands an even better job as a CEO.
ODE TO WASTE & FRUSTRATION
In the hotel bar with Styron, Murphy recognizes
Nick Harris a slick young corporate head-hunter. He is the man who raped her
best friend years ago at a frat party. She lures him to Styron's suite and puts
tranquilizers in his drink.
After he passes out, the two women indulge in an
orgy of hatred over his unconscious body. They undress him, cover him with
obscene graffiti, smear blood and strike him. Both women clearly despise men.
Murphy confides it was actually she who suffered the rape.
However, it emerges later that Nick is a rapist
in her mind only. Styron learns that he had never been to the city where the
rape supposedly took place.
Men are "rapists" because they are not giving
women the love they need. The result is self-loathing and resentment against men.
Feminism first makes women and men incompatible; then it exploits women's
frustration and rage.
"WHAT DOES WOMAN WANT?"
Freud was unable to answer this question despite
"thirty years of research into the feminine soul."
Chaucer's "Wife of Bath" knew the answer:
Woman wants to be loved. She'll do anything for love, even if it means
becoming a feminist.
Many Western women today are dysfunctional
because they are getting contradictory messages. Society tells them to be "strong
and independent," i.e. successful in a career.
But this behaviour is masculine and makes men
feel redundant. Men don't like these women. Thus women are doing what society
tells them to do, yet they are not getting the male love they expect and need.
Women are loved when they put their husband
and children before themselves. It is feminine to self efface. Men love
these women because they become part of them.
I am not against a woman having a career, only
putting it before marriage and family.
GETTING DATING STRAIGHT
A single friend characterized a typical date
this way. He describes his work and seeks affirmation and respect. She describes
her work and seeks affirmation and respect from him. They never see each other
again. (They are already competing.)
This is NOT how heterosexuals mate. Women are
hypergamous, which means they seek men of higher power and status.
Nurses marry doctors.
On a date, a man reveals himself and his vision
of life. She decides if she's interested in him or not. If she is, she affirms
him by her acceptance and encouragement. In marriage, she demonstrates her love
by trusting him to take care of her interests.
He also affirms her by seeking her
acceptance. Yes, he also wants her to be capable and successful. But his
recognition and nurturing come later.
All successful organizations are hierarchical.
The heterosexual family is male dominated. If you wanted to destroy it, you
promote equality. Our culture is doing this.
THE FEMINIST TRAP
It is mind-boggling but our politicians, media
and educators are deliberately sabotaging society. Feminism like its Communist
forebear dogmatically denies human sexual differences, such as the fact that men
have 10 times the testosterone levels of women.
There are over 900 Women's Studies Programs in
the United States teaching impressionable young women to deny their femininity.
According to "Issues in Feminism: An Introduction to Women's Studies"
femininity is "patriarchal mind control." The "best slaves are the ones who
don't even know they are slaves." Who authorized this indoctrination in lesbian
dysfunction?
This vicious state-sponsored hoax is ruining
millions of lives. The
CIA
and the
Rockefeller Foundation
sponsor it. The superrich use tax-exempt foundations to promote Communism,
according to the 1954 Reese Committee Report of the U.S. Congress.

Feminism is another
manifestation of Communism, which was always sponsored by the international
bankers and their corporate allies. Their goal is to transfer all power to a
global state, which they control. By harnessing the authoritarian power of the
state, Big Brother will serve Big Business.
The stated goal of the Communist Manifesto
is to destroy the nuclear family. People without stable families are easy to
distract and control. Sex starved, isolated, and dysfunctional, the few children
they have are also messed up. Last week, we learned that
the U.S. birth rate is at the
lowest point in history.
WOMAN THE MULTIPLIER (MAN
X WOMAN = CHILDREN)
A woman's elaborate reproductive apparatus has a
profound influence on her psyche. Each month she produces an egg and she is
devoted to seeing that egg fertilized, giving birth and raising a child.
On the other hand, a woman is the fertile ground
for a man's spirit to grow. First she accepts his spirit. Then she accepts his
seed, from which a child grows.
Men need to be lovingly received and affirmed.
Women need to be possessed and cultivated. This is wholeness. Their child
symbolizes it.
When this connection is stymied, we have
arrested development. Many women become angry and psychotic like Styron and
Murphy. Men have become detached and selfish. Both are obsessed with sex.
The media makes women appear like remote
goddesses but they are passionate sexual creatures that need committed love and
direction from a man.
In a true marriage, two people become one. Each
complements the other. Women's strengths should not be the same as men's and
vice versa.
Independence is the big issue in feminist
marriages. They are mergers, a pooling of assets to achieve economic and sexual
synergies. The two people fail to bond and remain immature. They struggle for
power and break up.
CONCLUSION
Heterosexual society has been under sustained
psychological attack designed to arrest human development and decrease
population. Feminism is the weapon of choice. It encourages women to deny their
femininity and act like men.
Feminine women are characterized by selflessness.
They are not hunters. They are not killers. They are a little vulnerable in a
worldly sense. How do men respond to them? By wanting to nurture and protect
them. This is how men love. This is what women want.
In "The Business of Strangers" both
women have become hunters. As a result, they hate men but worse they hate
themselves. Victims of a diabolical plot, they have mutated. They need a man's
love in order to be themselves again.
