Feminism's Purpose

Roosh had an interesting post a few days ago. It was entitled The Theory of Evolution Does Not Apply to Modern Human Beings. The essay was an attempt to challenge the notion that the human urge to reproduce is the driving force in our lives. One point was especially salient. that "the more resources a person has, the less likely they will reproduce at all."

This phenomenon is occurring all over the developed world. It led me to the revelation that the drive to reproduce is subordinate to the drive to acquire and control resources. Even the way we communicate with each other, through hundreds of different languages and countless dialects, is resource-driven. A spoken and written language is a barrier to outsiders seeking entry into a society's resources.

It follows that the unstated prime directive of feminism is the control of society's resources.

Every initiative undertaken in the name of diversity can be viewed in this way. Recently, Apple Computer released its Employee Diversity Report. CEO Tim Cook is not satisfied with his company's diversity. The report states that 70% of Apple's 98,000 employees are male.

Probably because eighty-two percent of computer science degrees are earned by men. The only way to fix that is to deny males admittance to computer science programs.

What's interesting to me is that feminists are using the cultural marxist template to advance their agenda. They argue that the culture is responsible for all of life's inequalities. I wonder how many feminists are aware of the inherent conflict between marxism and their desire to control outcomes within capitalism?

Tim Cook has a vested interest in diversity, because Apple will be even more profitable, the more women are in the workforce. In every field where women have made significant inroads, wages have fallen. It naturally follows that doubling the supply of a commodity, like psychologists, will lead to price (wage) reductions to clear supply.

Feminism may have once been about equality and humanism, but not today. I have never heard of a feminist asking what we can do about the disparity in male incarceration rates or sentencing. But it is not uncommon to hear words like those of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She was asked when she thought there would be enough female justices on the Supreme Court.

"And my answer is when there are nine," Bader Ginsburg replied.
