I was talking about dot not feather. In any case, don't conflate/confuse matrilineal with matriarchy. The dog don't hunt. A few small societies here and there.

On paper, the Iroquois looked like that too. One guy who lived and worked with them said it just wasn't true. The Council of Women could depose the Chief - in favor of another man. But they revered their men and would hardly ever use this power. Compare that to our irreverent, greedy, power mad women. If they had the power, they would use if constantly and foolishly.

Was it the Cherokee who had the saying, A people aren't finished until their women's hearts are on the ground. In other words, we're finished.

Lakota Sioux - "We'll never be defeated until the hearts of our women are broken."

In their wisdom, the Sioux warriors understood that their strength in battle, came from the support of their women - the strength needed to protect their women and children - thus completing the circle.

In short - strong women make strong men stronger. You already know this from our past studies.

The women you describe are self-absorbed, attention-seeking harlots, in other words, weak women. The differences are obvious.

There're a good many good strong women out there. Don't throw out the babies with the bath water.

Social media destroys women. They seek the adulation of as many people as possible. Thus they begin to "curate" their lives in order to get "likes". The "husband" is just a trophy. His place is usurped by her fans.

There are many women who are strong in their evil. Is that what you meant?

Reading a book, The Anxious Generation, subtitled: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness, by Jonathan Haidt. He makes nearly the exact same point.

As a function of having iPhones in adolescence and access to social media, it destroys young girls - as you describe. For boys, it's gaming and access to pornography.

No, I meant the truly strong women. There are many - my wife, one, and many on CFN. Thank heaven for little girls.

Although, a friend of mine has said many times - which I don't subscribe to - that anyone who bleeds for one week every month and doesn't die, is evil.

Is Karen really your wife?

Those who go overseas say there is no comparison. Good women are many in some places, needles in haystacks here in the dying West. But as our culture spreads, those places are now infected too.
