From my perspective, based on the quotes you provide, Guerini's analysis is unfailingly on target.

"...Natural childbirth would first be treated as irresponsible, then criminal” — That would indeed appear to be the direction they wish to take things. I think a parallel can be drawn between this push towards un-naturalness in biological reproduction, and the normalization/acceptance push through L, G, B, T, and Q towards the unsaid but ultimate goal which is the “+” in “LGBTQ+”. To anyone paying close attention, the “+” is a silent P (paedophilia). It is, after all, clear to all but the most willfully blind, that an astounding percentage of the “elites” have no qualms when it comes to sex with minors.

““All ties to the real, natural world must be severed. Everything must be artificial, synthetic and virtual”. — That is PRECISELY what the psychopathocracy is working towards.

““A total demolition of the previous forms of existence is underway: how one comes into the world, biological sex, education, relationships, the family, even the diet that is about to become synthetic.” — The ultimate dystopia!

“As she has written, the removal of cultural identities and the loss of rituals and traditions “means making a people empty and fragile”, the perfect targets for manipulation by the “shapers of men” who have dispossessed their lives of real meaning.” — From https://redpillpoems.substack.com/p/wokeworld-take-4

“...effectively conditioned

to reflexively reject all that came before;

to erase the Four Olds and their stories

as if the mere demolition

of traditions were sufficient

to open the door to a future full of glory

the rootless youthful masses

being as they were the engineered fruit

of dystopian wokeness-grafting classes

and pervasive deracination operations...”

““Truth is the existential foundation of the human, its disintegration runs parallel with the disintegration of society and any community”. — A perfect description of exactly where we're at.

Thank you for drawing attention to Sylvia Guerini's work. I wish I felt there was even one area of her arguments that was wrong. But it's playing out exactly as she describes....the Handmaid's Tale on steroids.

It’s undeniable that there is a war on women, specifically targeting women. In ancient culture, the third aspect of the Triple Goddess, along with the Maiden and the Mother, is the Crone. The Crone represented the final stage of life, knowledge, judgment, and death, and was the embodiment of women's life experience. In Neopaganism, the Crone is also represented as an old woman who symbolizes maturity and wisdom.

Thanks.

Ever read a book called "The First Sex"? Pretty interesting. I'm not quite done, but it's got not just a history of women, generally, sort of, but history.

YW. I’ll check out the book. I’m always curious when given a book recommendation. How can anyone gain an understanding of history — obviously including natural history — without an understanding of females and the mystical history of the Eternal Feminine. You might like this link. Or at least the abstract, to compare & contrast with the book you’re reading. https://academicworks.cuny.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3926&context=gc_etds#:~:text=As%20the%20archetype%20of%20feminine,society. If not, ignore it as way too academic. It won’t hurt my feel goods. It’s not like I wrote it. 😊

I don't mind "academic."

"The First Sex" is dense and written in the 70's. Some of it is kinda angry feminist stuff, I agree and disagree with most generalized things like this, but well... women have some bitchin' to do! And so do men. I give everyone an ear, at least at first! But the historical stuff in there is pretty interesting as well.

I understand, and it’s unbelievable. My story has finally been published! This morning, my challenging encounter with the ‘swamp creatures’ went online.

I always hope to see more people with their courage in making others see that THIS is THE most existential THEME of the human condition... transhumanism is the foundation that allows for a holistic understanding of the system.

Thank you²

“We are moving towards a complete dissociation from ourselves, from procreation, from life, from death, from reality, from truth”.

“Today, everything that belonged to the past must be regarded as obsolete, as an error, as something continually to be overcome, in an overcoming that will never end.

“The past becomes something to be erased in order to break the thread that binds us to a history, to a tradition, to a belonging, for the transition towards a new uprooted humanity, without past, without memory, without a present and a future that can be held up precisely on the past, a new humanity dehumanised in its essence, totally in the hands of the manipulators of reality and truth”. [15]

Okay.

So my question is, WHY DO WE FEEL WE MUST GO ALONG WITH THIS? Why do we feel as though we have NO POWER to decide what we want or what we are OURSELVES? Why do we give over so much power--- SO. MUCH. POWER. --- to politicians and medical dictators?

Here's a very very interesting and mind-growing set of ideas to listen to, or read, as you will. LARKEN ROSE, brilliant argument for, in my words, the need to rid ourselves of "government."

Great article!

RE: Guerini has warned that the growth of the artificial reproduction industry threatens to lead to what she calls “a world without mothers”.

Indeed. Feminists have been fighting the wrong battle. Paradoxically (or not), feminism is anti-feminine. Feminists have been fighting to become men. And in so doing have been blind to the ruling class forces guiding them to placidly go along with their own emasculation (yes, I know it's the wrong word, but interestingly, there does not seem to be an equivalent term for depriving women of their femininity), the amazing ability to generate new life.

Excuse me. "Feminists have been fighting ---

---- to become men" ???

Uh, no. That's like saying black slaves were fighting to become WHITE.

Please don't ever think that women need you to speak for them! And just FYI, women are amazing in how they grow and bring new life, like virtually ALL female creatures, but the males do have something to do with it, and are charged with the SACRED DUTY of protecting the mothers and the children. This is a MUTUAL endeavor we're in, here on this Earth.

RE: That's like saying black slaves were fighting to become WHITE.

Huh? You don't see the ideological warfare used to erase biological differences? Women in combat, women fighting men (and losing) in boxing, wrestling and martial arts? To say that women are different from men is not degrading. I agree with your concept of "mutual endeavor" but one has to have your head in the sand to not notice that it is being systematically erased. Just like gays and lesbians have been complicit with the rise of DEI ideology, so have feminists been complicit in the erasure of womanhood via trans ideology - both are AstroTurf liberation struggles in the service of ruling elites.

What IS it with people? I thought I was pretty clear, but you turn it around into something entirely different.

WOMEN AREN’T FIGHTING TO BE MEN. WOMEN WANT THE SAME RIGHTS AND OPPORTUNITIES AS MEN HAVE. jeeezuz.

You didn’t say “women are different from men.” You said women ARE FIGHTING TO BE MEN.

Words matter.

I agree that equal work should mean equal pay. But outside of that what does that mean? You want the opportunity to be a heavyweight boxer?

A typically reductionist response. So, you see that I'm making an argument, and I called your bs, and now you're going to play the "women are crazy" game?

I had a gal friend who really, really wanted to be a firefighter. But she didn't make it, she wasn't BIG enough. I was glad, because I don't want a firefighter who can't get me out of a building if I'm unconscious because she doesn't have the physical upper body strength to do it... But some women MIGHT. Some MEN don't have what it takes. It should be a TEST, like my friend had to do.

Should women beat the hell out of each other in a boxing ring? Sure, if they WANT TO. What difference does that make to you?

If some guy comes up and tries to rob me, I wouldn't care if a woman kicked his ass! Or shot his ass, for that matter. Whatever, whoever it takes, and no ultimate doors slamming unless it's having babies or fathering them.

Some things are beyond most women, just as some things are beyond most men. It's OPPORTUNITY that's on the table here. Not a broad spectrum rule that shuts down MERIT.

PS: I'm a life-long athlete and in my day I could press 50 lbs over my head. I'm 5'5 and I weigh about 130. I was HELLA strong when I was 20-30. But I'd never make it as a firefighter. That said, I could have a baby and deal with THAT kind of PAIN, whereas men usually just whine and go to bed when they have a COLD! LOL How's that for reduction? ;)
