Collapsing Sexual Dimorphism
Your face cream is making you a feminist. Even you are not yet gay enough to be ruled by ideas young lady.
“Sexual Dimporhism is the differentiation of the sexes in respect of size, structure, or colour, which, though not directly concerned in reproduction, is yet indirectly concerned in it, through the advantages it gives to one sex over the other in the struggle for existence or in the competition for mates.”
— Herbert Spencer, Principles of Biology (1898)
Think of it in terms of platonic ideals on a spectrum. The perfect female peacock on the left, the perfect male peacock on the right. As you get closer and closer to the gay origin (middle) you become less than ideal. In humans, we have dimorphic physical traits, but our mental dimorphic traits are probably of more consequence given our massive cognitive advantage over all of the other animals.
Diminishing Your Dimorphic Exaggeration
The further to the edges of the dimorphic spectrum you get, the more attractive you are to all of the creatures past the gay origin opposite you. You can think of it in a Homeric sense, Achilles is at the far right, Penelope the far left. The coward Paris is nearer to the gay origin. Helen was said to be physically near or at the far left, but psychologically quite gay (she left her husband for another man and occasionally tried to involve herself in public policy at Troy).
In life, there is no merit to nearing the gay origin, unless you wish to be an outright homosexual which we have no interest in discussing for the purposes of this article. Life is always improved by the relentless pursuit of the outer edges.
As a man, you will get more out of life by doing things that amplify your dimorphic exaggeration. Ambition, aggression, killer instinct, these traits will help you suck the nectar out of the fruit of life the more you near the masculine edge. As a woman, you will get more out of life by doing things that amplify your dimorphic exaggeration. Devotion, nurturing, family life, this is where you will truly discover yourself, at the outer bounds of your femininity.
Enter The Modern World
Our modern world is waging war on our hormones, even normies seem to be catching onto this idea these days. Our food and water supply is tainted by pesticides, excreted hormones, and xenoestrogens. We clean our houses and bodies with all manner of these xenoestrogens which we then breathe in or absorb through our skin. We get minimal sun exposure which can help to detox these effects. In fact, many an uninformed fool still wears sunscreen daily, instead of only in extreme cases like being out on a boat all day.
Most of these poisons fall into the category of endocrine disruptors, meaning that they disrupt our proper hormonal functioning.
“Endocrine disruptors are exogenous agents that interfere with the production, release, transport, metabolism, binding, action, or elimination of natural hormones in the body responsible for the maintenance of homeostasis and the regulation of developmental processes.”
— Curtis D. Klaassen, Casarett & Doull's Toxicology: The Basic Science of Poisons (1996)
In short, everyone is becoming gay. Modern men and women are experiencing the collapse of their sexual dimorphism and this is the mechanism through which we can explain everything about the world around us. Our environment is turning men into women and women into men.
It’s fairly well known that all these endocrine disruptors are making men soft, sapping them of their ambition, etc. But what is lesser known is that it’s having the exact opposite effect on women. You see, endocrine disruptors lower androgenic hormones (testosterone, DHT, etc.) and elevate stress / feminine hormones in men. Whereas in women these endocrine disruptors increase their androgenic hormones like testosterone and lower their essential feminine hormones like estrogen and progesterone.
Redpillers are oft to use the overused line, “women are becoming the men they want to fuck.” While this is true, it’s almost always the case that the midwit reciting this line believes that things like feminism are the root cause. They are wrong. I have no tolerance for feminism, it is obviously the single worst outcome to arise from marxist thinking and may well end up bringing about the total collapse of civilization.
But it’s not feminism that is driving the masculinization of women. That credit belongs to endocrine disruptors. Feminism has found fertile soil in the increasingly gay minds of us moderns. The idea is increasingly popular because we are all unhealthily gay, not the other way around.
First, The Men
Let’s start with men. In this section we will speak of the median man, I get it, you’re an outlier chad, good for you. Most men drink beer, smoke weed, play videogames, lack ambition, have gynecomastia, are deeply unattractive to women, and are shadows of the men their grandfathers were. Even when they wake up from their stupor and start lifting, many of them remain deeply neurotic and have a hard time even feigning the slightest bit of confidence.
“Men need to do better!”
— Every Woman, “Christian,” and Democrat on the Internet
This is all true. Cool. But let’s point that microscope at women.
Next, The Ladies
The women are just as gay as the men. But it is happening in a way that is making them better servants to our fake capitalist society. Whereas men are becoming less and less useful to the cogs of modern post-industrial society.
For the economists out there, we would observe a chart in which women’s contributions to the social security trust fund are going up while mens are going down. Alas the Federal Reserve Economic Data sets (a database maintained by the Research division of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis) does not have such a chart broken down by gender, what a surprise.
It’s easy to hit men for failing to be efficient slaves to the system. However, it’s much harder to notice women’s success in our capitalist society as a an equal and opposite failing.
Increasing numbers of women are becoming “brides of the state.” If you’re a black woman in Atlanta this is more likely to take on the form of welfare etc. Whereas if you are a white hicklib striver from Kentucky trying to “boss babe” it in NYC at the expense of finding a man to breed with, you’re still a bride of the state, you’re just a net taxpayer which isn’t really the win that you think it is.
I’d say thanks, but none of us are ever seeing any of that money, so ask a boomer for some gratitude if thanks is what you seek.
Women’s testosterone going up is causing them to be more ambitious in masculine ways. They are inching to the right, away from womanly perfection towards the gay origin on our chart.
High T in women causes a lot of maladaptive behaviors and traits in women. Let’s go through some of them:
It causes them to be more assertive and confrontational. This is how you end up with the Karen archetype, a woman willing to get in the face of a man and scream at him in public.
The same pattern exists with the hen-pecking wife, this is just a woman who is tilted too far into her masculine and lashes out at her husband in private.
It causes them to have different sexual preferences. Women have always enjoyed being dominated in bed, but the rise of interest in aggressive levels of choking, raceplay, and other much more bizarre sex practices amongst “hetero” populations are literally just transplanted behaviors from the Grindr scene. Literally gay desires infiltrating heteronormative bedrooms.
It causes them to require men be further and further out on the male dimorphic spectrum — which is far from ideal since most men are being drawn closer to the gay origin. This is causing vast expanses of men to be left behind in the sexual marketplace. A good example of this is the height discourse. Women say things like “he must be 6’ tall,” to qualify. 100 years ago, “taller than me,” was the norm and is the only rational opinion (alas, there is no level of testosterone in a woman that imbues them with the reason of a man).
It causes women to seek status in masculine ways. However, a woman’s status in this life is determined by her family life, not her public life.
High T in a woman makes her infertile. The scourge of PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) is literally caused by excessive testosterone levels in a woman.
It causes her to be a sexual risk-taker. This is no doubt contributing to the high body count problem. Women are less protective of their virtue and are willing to give it up more readily. They are becoming sexual thrill seekers like men.
It causes women to desire entree into public life. Women are more likely to have strong political opinions than ever before and this is neither normal nor healthy for society or the woman herself. A woman’s political opinions are supposed to be imprinted on her by the strongest man in her life. Not so any more. Indeed high testosterone creates a rebelliousness in women that destabilizes society and makes the woman herself extremely unhappy (50%+ of democrat women report having mental illness).
High T in a woman causes her to lose focus on her prime directive in life, which is to have children. It rejiggers her priorities, she starts believing that she is a man and must be judged along male metrics of success.
And much more.
All of this is smashing into the modern ideas of feminism and has been turbocharged by misguided laws like affirmative action. Women who have become gay are now ambitious to do the things men are supposed to do. They tell themselves stories about the older generations of women being oppressed and marginalized, not realizing that insofar as their grandmothers still live, those women are usually 100x more elegant, beautiful, feminine, and therefore happier than they are.
Then you have mens problems only making the situation worse. Men are foregoing the university, which opens up more and more slots for women who make good little Eichmanns in the modern universities which now prize box-checking over creativity or genuine genius. Same with the workforce, etc.
Feminism Is The Symptom
In short, what many a middling internet poster sees as problems caused by feminism are actually nothing of the sort. Feminism isn’t causing this issue. It’s hormones, our societies sexual dimorphism is collapsing into the middle at the gay origin. We are all becoming they/thems as a result of all-pervasive endocrine disruptors in our environment.
Feminism has found a footing only because of this phenomenon. People are getting the causation backwards. Women are becoming increasingly gay, which in this situation, means more male-like. As such feminism provides a perfectly good rationale for why these women feel compelled to care more about their careers more than starting a family, etc.
Yes, there are also strong economic and cultural pressures causing this phenomenon, there is no doubt. But the hormonal story is, in this writers opinion, the biggest cause. We are all somewhat gay now, and unless and until we reckon with the harms our poisoned environment is doing to us, nothing will change, no matter how many basement dwelling boys and fame-seeking women opine on our modern ideologies.
Everything is and always will be… downstream of biology.
Good column sir. I am well aware of the damage that endocrine disrupting chemicals are having, but never considered that feminism is downstream from that fact. This really does explain so many phenomenon you see out in public these days, the rise of LGBTQ, obesity, #girlboss, etc etc
Very interesting observations you’ve made, good theory too. I wonder if this is a pattern worldwide or just in USA? I feel this country has been engineered in sinister and evil ways to be a giant experiment.
