The average human lifespan is now longer than 45 years. In fact, my mother, who was a 50s housewife is still alive and with a few kicks left in her. I have an aunt who was born before WW1 and still speaks of what it was like to be a Great Depression and WWII housewife (as well as a teenager in the Roaring 20s), and how that transitioned into the 50s.

That is why I have, on a number of occasions, had to comment that much of what many in the manosphere think of the 50s is utter bollucks. I didn’t learn about them, I remember, from a perspective which encompasses the slums, the housing projects and the New Utopia of the middle class suburbs.

“I don’t know what will bring back the 50s housewife.”

It orginally took a Great Depression and a World War (following on from a World War and a 10 year party on credit) and even then was rather limited in scope. It was an ideal, not the norm.

“I also suspect that to get there, we will have to go through a period of pain.”

See above.

But also, I think there must be an admission that the energy budget back then was considerably more austere compared to ours today. Women entered into (at least superficially) mostly monogamous relationships because it was the most efficient arrangement, and a lot of them had no other favorable choice. Today, women can work in nonproductive jobs because of the pervasive expansion of a debt based and politically correct society, or they can steal the productivity of a man who married and was subsequently divorced with them. This situation will not change any time soon for men. If anything, it will get worse until it gets better. With that in mind, I wonder how prudent it is to lament what has been lost.

There is a major part of me who loves civilization, and loves the sense of duty and sacrifice, but I must come to the conclusion that humans are not a monogamous species. If we were, our sexuality would be much different, and we would be geared for reproduction maybe a couple dozen times in our entire lifetimes. The fact that we’re not suggests that infidelity is the norm, or at least an inclination. I think most men are built to bond long term with a partner, and provide for them, and that is why our species has excelled for so long. But much of society is based on the lie that the woman a man devotes himself to exclusively gives him birth rights to her offspring. That lie is just starting to come to light, and I think the future of human society will fundamentally change. Women had the pill for 40 years, and now men have paternity tests. In the past, men and women, and with the intervention of family, people were able to find an equilibrium; but now with government involvement, there is great distrust between the sexes.

I don’t know what will bring back the 50s housewife. Maybe it will be a decrease in kwh/person that necessitates a division of labor. If that ends up being the case, would men, who have become self-sufficient and learned to cook/iron/provide for themselves want to take on a ward? Will porn be outlawed? Will paternity tests be outlawed? Even if we can roll back the clock, it will be impossible to erase the true knowledge of women that men growing up today possess. We already live in a police state; will society collapse before more draconian laws can be landed on men?

I think it would be good for civilization for us to return to times past, but I also suspect that to get there, we will have to go through a period of pain. I’m not so sure I’m prepared for those times, nor will most who have been coddled through perhaps the most indulgent era in history will. But, those times are coming whether we want them to, or not. Entropy is a bitch.

On a somewhat related note, the slutification of society has reached levels where it is now considered acceptable for preteens to be pushed into getting HPV vaccinations http://www.webmd.com/sexual-conditions/hpv-genital-warts/news/20140724/too-few-teens-receive-hpv-shot-cdc-says

The mathematical curve of keeping a clean soul. | Wimminz – celebrating skank ho’s everywhere

You mentioned this in an earlier post. The link has more info.

So there I am, taking a dummy math course in University because it’s been 4 years since I blew Calculus out of the water in High School, and I can’t remember half of it. The prof is teaching a bunch of poli-sci students, and the ‘examples’ used in the text book are utter bollocks; IRL the situations described have nothing to do with the math function employed, but out of 300 students I’m the only one who realizes this (didn’t help that in the “calculus” course the prof spent 90% of the class teaching basic arithmetic…).

New term: Mathematical Aspergers. That’s who’s running the world these days – people who think that, just because they can graph a function, that they can predict the function. IRL nothing fits a nice little x^2 curve, if you think it does, it’s because it does for a little bit – in reality you’re seeing about 20 different functions stacked on top of each other, and it’s only for the time being that it dupes you into looking predictable. Heck, take something as simple as a falling object – it ain’t falling in a vacuum, and there’s a lot more going on than 9.81 m/s2; just ask any NASA scientist about the shuttle coming in on re-entry. Graph that, buddy.

“And it all keeps coming back down to that old one of I don’t know what I should do, everything I do do turns out wrong.”

This is what is meant by “We are all sinners.” Just ask any theologian prior to the Renaissance, he can explain it to you without using the math. Nowadays even the pig-ignorant Baptist preachers, who object to math because it involves studying infinities (“God is the only infinity!”) are blinded to reality by the bloody maths.

“When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail,” and when all you have is an x^2 function, then Global Warming is a certainty, just look at these charts…
