Pathological Altruism of Women...

Time Text
Both are necessary and we rely on each other.
Now, the problem is when you separate men from women, which has been the great goal of the leftists for 150 plus years.
When you separate men from women, men become overly independent and women become overly conformist.
Right.
So the old argument is the woman, I have this actual, I have this um ferocious conflict between a father and sorry, a mother and her son in my novel The Present, towards the end, Oliver and his mother have this brutal conflict because Oliver's mother says, we have to go and help such and such, a person who's family, blah, blah, blah.
And he says we can't, and I won't get into all the details of the novel because you'd listen to read the novel.
But women want to help everyone.
And that's lovely.
And the reason why women have evolved to want to help everyone is it's the man's job to say, we can't.
We can't.
Oh, but they're all these starving children in in Africa.
It's like, but we can't.
We got our own kids, we got our own community, right?
So that negotiation, whereas men wouldn't even think to go and help the starving kids in Africa.
So women will remind men of social obligations and responsibilities, and men will remind women of limited resources.
Now, you get governments, you get fiat currency, you get borrowing, unfunded liabilities, deficits, debts, and money printing, then that that lift, that that that restraint of resource availability vanishes.
And then women, their desire to help is no longer tempered by the male, ah, we can't, we you know, we don't have the time, we don't have the money, we don't have the resources, right?
Which is what's supposed to restrain this uh excessive, it's only excessive outside of male.
Because it's not theirs, it's because it's the states.
So we don't it it's like a separate entity.
Right, right, of course, right?
So once women get the vote and women can vote for unlimited resources, at least as they perceive, then women become addicted to the high of helping.
Throw wide the borders, send money overseas, we can help, we can help.
And there's no male restraint to say, ah, you know, we we can't.
Like it's it, this is not good.
We got our own family.
And if you can get women to not have their own children, and then you can start pumping infinite fantasy monopoly cash into women's hands, they get sweaty with semi-orgasmic joy at their ability to help everyone.
And again, women have evolved to help within a tribal context, and under the restraint of the limited resources that men can produce, and you take away those caps, and you get this suicidal gusher of female hyper empathy or hypercompassion, which becomes extremely pathological.
I think this one of it's not Gadsad's argument, but he does talk about the sort of pathological altruism.
So this is the problem with statism.
Is this and this is why the leftists want to separate men from women, because if you separate men from women, women's pathological women's altruism, no longer restrained by masculine limits, becomes pathological, and they become addicted to helping, and then anybody who says we have to help less is then treated as someone who is denying a healthy drug to someone who's sick.
Because at least somebody who's an heroin addict, and you say, oh man, you shouldn't take heroin, they're like, Yeah, I know, I mean, I really shouldn't, but I'm addicted, blah, blah, blah.
But no, I'm helping, I'm saving the refugees and the migrants and the undocumented blah, blah, blah, and all the sick and all the the women who had children, and then the man left.
I'm I'm helping, helping, helping.
And it just becomes something that men really can't process, but women really get that when women get addicted to unlimited help, it's sort of when men get addicted to the fantasy of unlimited sexual activity through pornography or something,
when women get addicted to unlimited help and men can no longer restrain women's altruism, then the altruism goes from something that's healthy to something that's cancerous, something that grows without restraint and without respite.
And this is why women have gone super left, because women cleave to whoever gives them the resources, and they have become the harem of the state.
B OTS, they're bots, they're brides of the state.
And this is why you see women, especially if you have a, you know, I think he's kind of reptilian and greasy, but you know, Gavin Newsom from California, you know, the taller and good looking guy generally wins the election, right?
And so women have bonded to the state because the state feeds them their drug of choice, which is pathological altruism, and men are helpless.
Because, you know, I get all these comments on X, and I'll shut up in a sec, right?
But I get all these comments on X. The men are all like, uh, why don't we gotta step up, we gotta do this?
How are we gonna say you're outvoted, bro?
You're outvoted.
The women will continue to vote to take away money from the men, because men are massive net contributors to the tax system, and women are a massive net withdraws.
And that doesn't even count the welfare state, which is a female thing.
And and you can see this.
Women get the vote, government spending goes through the roof because women want to help.
And they don't like to be restrained in their helping.
And men, that tension, right?
Men ha women have not learned to restrain their own desire to help others because that was the man's job to help restrain them.
And men have not learned how to reach out and maintain social contacts over time because women have done that.
We have divided that labor.
And so women have now become fetishistic, altruistic, hyperthyroid altruist bots, paid for by the next generation, paid for by men,
