Competitive Women in a Changing Society

AUsername commented on another post on competitive women, making the case that many such women are Conservative, and their competitiveness is a Conservative trait. I don’t argue with that, nor do I view female competitiveness negatively by itself. However I do believe that as societies progress towards r, you will see increasing competitiveness among females. It’s a symptom of the r-phenomenon, even though it is not inherently bad beyond it’s coincidentally destructive effects on society.

I suspect this competitive female trait arose evolutionarily from r-type changes in male traits, and societal views of the male role in their protection of women. To give the best idea of how all of this works, it probably helps to look at the most extreme examples. Below are links to two pictures of Mixed Martial Artist Kim Couture, in her fight with Kim Rose

If you look closely at her bottom row of teeth, you will notice the teeth on one side are a little higher than the teeth on the other. That is because at the start of her fight, her female opponent delivered a punch to her mouth which split her lower jawbone in two, right down the middle at the chin. The teeth on one side are lower, because one half of her jawbone is hanging a half inch lower than the other half. To her credit, she finished out her fight, and never quit. So she is not just a pretty face, but is certifiably one tough chick.

But looking at this image of a wounded woman, I think that it is clear that something is wrong, and that this is a mark of a society in decline. This isn’t the type of image produced by, and common in, a healthy society. Somehow, we have created something even worse than the Roman Gladiators in the Arena. Two women, locked in a cage, beating each other as wildly as possible, as the crowd cheers, and internet commentators point at the gut wrenching pictures of their disfigurement and laugh. It’s a mark of an unhealthy society that is, at least temporarily, in decline.

I think what this picture signifies is the retreat of the class of men who are driven to protect women, and the rise of a class of men who are not. Some of it is the fault of cowardly beta men, too fearful to be politically incorrect. Still other fault can be laid at the feet of angry, bitter feminists, who having failed to secure the permanent affections of a man themselves, do as much as possible to poison the normal, loving relationship which is supposed to exist between men and women in our society.

In the 1950’s, protective men would have shielded women from being put into physical fights with each other. Kim still wanted to fight? Too bad, these K-type men would have said. Women don’t experience danger or risk, that’s just how it is. (And for those who think I’m criticizing Randy – I’m not. He was married to Kim, so obviously he has little say in these things if she want’s to fight. It was up to men who didn’t have to face Kim at home to prevent this fight – while Randy pretended to object as vociferously as possible, before reluctantly conceding to an inevitable defeat at the hands of an evil, misogynistic patriarchy. This syndrome is a societal effect, not a matrimonial one. It is society as a whole which needs to exhibit K-type mores and reject this type of behavior.)

This is just one early aspect of the disregard for female safety you will see among r-type men, however. As it grows stronger, you get what is seen in Europe today, where a violent rape epidemic is met with callous disregard by Europe’s Leftist males.

In Norway, “The police in the Norwegian capital Oslo revealed that 2009 set yet another record: compared to 2008, there were twice as many cases of assault rapes. In each and every case, not only in 2008 and 2009 but also in 2007, the offender was a non-Western immigrant. At the same time, in 9 out of 10 cases, the victim was Norwegian, not just by nationality, but also by ethnicity.”

In Australia, “The eldest of four Pakistani gang rapist brothers has admitted lying at trial and apologized to his victims but said he thought he had a right to rape the “promiscuous” teenage girls…because the girls did not wear headscarves, were drinking alcohol… were unaccompanied…his intoxication, “cultural beliefs,” and an undiagnosed mental disorder.”

Also, there is the Australian media silence on a two year gang rape spree on 70 young girls, one only 13 years old, “Why did it take two years and as many as 70 rapes for us to be made aware of what appears to be a home-grown form of systematic ethnic cleansing by a group of men said to be of “Middle Eastern” extraction? How many girls and young women have been sacrificed because no-one wanted to offend ethnic sensibilities or inflame racist feelings in the community?’”

In Sweden , “According to some estimates, the rapidly growing Muslim immigrant population may turn Malmö into a Muslim majority city within about ten years. Numbers released in January 2005 indicate a sharp rise in the number of rape charges in Malmö. Thomas Anderberg, responsible for statistics at the Malmö Police, says there was a doubling of the number of reported rapes by ambush in 2004, following what was already a decade of steadily increasing numbers of sexual crimes.”

“The number of rape charges in Sweden has tripled in just above twenty years. Rape cases involving children under the age of 15 are six – 6 – times as common today as they were a generation ago…According to a new study from the Crime Prevention Council, it is four times more likely that a known rapist is born abroad, compared to persons born in Sweden…A group of Swedish teenage girls has designed a belt that requires two hands to remove and which they hope will deter would-be rapists…In an online readers’ poll from the newspaper Aftonbladet, 82% of the women expressed fear to go outside after dark.”

In France, “The phenomenon of gang rape in France has become banal…Here, according to sociologists and prosecutors, teenage boys, many of them loosely organized into gangs, prey on neighborhood girls…”In many cases, the violence of a band of young men against a girl is considered a rite of sexual initiation to prove one’s manhood,” said Hugues Lagrange, a sociologist at the National Center for Scientific Research in Paris who specializes in adolescent sexuality.”

In Britain, “Politically correct Scotland Yard chiefs have stopped using the term ‘gang rape’ because it is too ’emotive,’…Some community activists had previously suggested the phrase ‘gang rape’ had racist connotations…Jennette Arnold said some offenders are from cultural backgrounds where rape is more common.”

And, “A senior police chief spoke out tonight about the worrying rise in gang rapes, as disturbing figures showed almost 100 attacks in the capital within the last year… there was no doubt the ‘abhorrent’ crime was going under-reported…There is no doubt that the number of multiple offender gang rape offences is going up and we can say there is an increasing number of offences with four or more suspects…greatest proportion of victims of this type of offence are under 19 and there is a very significant number under 15…Dr Miranda Horvath, a lecturer in forensic psychology…is focusing on the ‘cultural context’ of gang rape and speaking to officers from forces across Britain and the United States…the crime is seen by some as a ‘weapon of war’”

r-type men genuinely don’t care if their women are raped, because the r-selected reproductive strategy is about avoiding danger, mating promiscuously, and it does not involve an emotional pair bonding with females, or any personal sacrifice on their behalf (indeed, I suspect it often involves a passive hostility towards women). If you wish to see this absence of any concern firsthand, ask a Liberal male if any of these cases are realted to increased third world immigration. Yes, ladies, they would rather import more foreigners and see you raped, than abandon any aspect of Liberal orthodoxy, even as Conservatives next to them are aghast, and want to protect you. (Truly, women who like Liberal men are ignorant, naive fools who cannot judge others.)

This type of Liberal male attitude is the face of men in an r-type society. As it grows, women are increasingly forced to fend for themselves, and they adapt to do so out of necessity.

But as with all aspects of an increasingly r-selected society, these symptoms are the clouds on the horizon. Although I see no problem with women competing or being competitive, I recognize that statistically, their increasing need to do so within our society is a sign that a storm is coming, and we probably should be preparing for it.
