The Zen Iconoclasts' Credo
(Thought Fragments) As it has been previously inferred, political parties are just a secular form of religion. Political blowhards from the left and right preach that if you swallow their dogma hook, line and sinker, you will be on the path of righteousness and glory. None of these political preachers want the hoi polloi to think for themselves or for common sense to prevail. What of this term ‘scientific socialist?’ This bears closer scrutiny. Science or the scientific method implies objectivity free from bias and prejudice. When socialism or christianity is paired with science, an oxymoron is created. Now, I find it somewhat ironic that a group would use an oxymoron to describe itself; so much for scientific socialists and christian scientists. A female patriarchy does not necessarily equate to feminism. A bunch of women behaving like men is not what is needed unless you are a drag king in which case it is perfectly acceptable. And what of these men whose egos are tied up in their image of themselves as socialist-feminists? Like most men when push comes to shove, they would undoubtedly whip out their penises in defense of their holy cause.

(Part 6) The Parabola of The Patriarchy by Jane F. Doe Early in human history, or rather, I should say prehistory, procreation was achieved merely due to biological instincts. And in these early times, childbirth was a mystery because humans had not yet made the connection between sexual intercourse, subsequent pregnancy and childbirth. Males were biologically programmed to have sexual intercourse with anything that moved and in some cases things that didn’t. Thusly, humans maintained a toehold on survival, this and the fact that they exuded such a dreadful odor that humans were the prey of last resort. In these primitive and superstitious times, childbirth was a magical thing with an unknown cause, and certainly many fallacious theories arose as to its origin. Eventually, the connection was made but childbirth kept its magical aura. Up to this point, lineage could only be ascertained through the females, and in what could be described as a colossal fit of vagina envy, men sought to establish lineage through the males. In order to establish male lineage, females had to be subjugated; women and children were deemed the property of men. In all this, the seeds of feminism were sown, a woman could control her fate, and avoid pregnancy and childbirth by refraining from sexual relations with men. All manner of superstitions were brought to bear on those who held or disseminated this point of view; they came to be regarded as witches, demons and various sorts of vile creatures. Patriarchal forces sought to mollify women by glorifying their subjugation with myths of virgin birth, mother of god and other such nonsense. Down through the millennia, patriarchal attitudes became codified and more firmly entrenched. And it still doesn’t let up. Take ‘penis envy,’ for example, (now, that’s a real jewel, that one is!), the reality is that men are only needed to provide material for genetic diversity, beyond that they are irrelevant to the rest of the process and they all suffer from ‘uterus envy’ because they aren’t biologically equipped to bear children. In closing, I leave you with this thought, "A parabola is not a parabola unless it has a focus."
