Mary Harrington

Last week, World War 3 nearly started in Ladakh. A dry, high-altitude region of Indian Kashmir on the Himalayan border with China, it’s been the site of escalating tensions and military buildup for some time. On June 15, the first physical confrontation between the Indian and Chinese militaries for 45 years erupted, killing at least 20 Indian and 45 Chinese soldiers.

There are all sorts of geopolitical reasons cited for the escalating tension between the world’s two most populous countries, but there is one more central and timeless problem that is going to drive both countries towards violence and instability — women. Or a lack of them.

In his History of the Normans, written circa 1015, Dudo of St Quentin argued that the reason the Vikings went raiding was because they couldn’t find wives, an idea echoed by the Tudor antiquarian William Camden in his 1610 book Britannia. ‘Wikings’, Camden suggested, were what you got when there weren’t enough women to go round, resulting in an excess of young men hanging around full of machismo but without any prospect of finding a nice girl and settling down. (Viking literally means raider.)

So, whenever these spare males “multiply’d themselves to a burdensom community”, Camden reports that an area would draw lots. Those of the young troublemakers chosen in the lottery would be sent off on a ship to make a nuisance of themselves overseas. Which they did.

Patrick points out that polygamy was also the central reason that Islam expanded rapidly. As richer Muslims all took four wives for themselves, the majority of young men were left without any women. To defuse the situation in Arabia, those men were told that they had the Allah-given right to raid neighboring non-Muslim area, set themselves up as master, and take as many women as they wanted from among those who refused to convert.

One 2019 study showed that where polygyny — that is, multiple wives — is a social norm for higher-status men, attacks on neighbouring ethnic groups skyrocket. With a few men monopolising eligible women, the rest are forced to seek status and resources by attacking other tribes. ...

Females in sexually dimorphic species don’t choose mates at random but select for traits that will give their offspring an advantage of some kind. ... Humans, being evolved creatures, do this too: ‘hypergamy’, or more colloquially ‘marrying up’, in practice means that the wealthier a man is, more women will consider him a desirable partner. ...

Chinese history suggests that bachelors with no prospect of marriage are associated with banditry, violence and even civil war. The Nien rebellion of 1863 was driven by ‘bare branches’, as men with no prospect of marriage are called in China. ...

Historically a common solution to the problem of ‘bare branches’ has been to divert them from domestic trouble-making to foreign expansionist warfare. The Viking raids on Britain were one result of this...

Tempting though it may be to imagine that in the West progressive values have somehow abolished our evolved tendencies to intrasexual and inter-sexual competition for the best mates, evidence suggests otherwise. ...

Although the sex ratio in the liberated West is the normal 105:100, today this isn’t translating straightforwardly into family formation. As women have become more educated and economically independent, researchers hoped hypergamy would fade away, with women becoming more willing to ‘marry down’. It would make sense: after all, a woman doing well in a demanding career might in theory have an easier life if she married a self-employed plasterer whose flexible schedule would let him deal with school runs and appointments.

But after hundreds of thousands of years of evolving to prioritise mates with resources and status, it seems that many women still prefer to seek the ‘best’ potential partner. One recent US study showed that even where women are more educated than their partners, they’ll still show a preference for men who earn more than them. That is, high-flying women will disregard the plasterer and pursue an equally high-earning husband. ...

social norms in favour of monogamous marriage have loosened over the decades since the 1960s — but this hasn’t made women less choosy about their partners. The number of American men under 30 who have never had sex tripled between 2008 and 2018 — but hasn’t risen nearly as rapidly for women. The only plausible explanation is that women are still having sex, but they’re competing for a smaller pool of desirable men and leaving the rest on the shelf.

You only have to look at online dating advice for American men to see this at work: “Show her you aren’t the average video game playing, cheap beer drinking, couch potato loser she wants to avoid,” advises one article on cultivating the ‘Alpha male persona’.

So even with normal sex ratios, our culture is creating a sort of flotsam of sexual no-hopers, composed of those males who simply aren’t impressive enough to attract anyone even for a fling, let alone a committed relationship. The grievances of this sexual underclass are creeping into our politics...

“Sexual patterns that have emerged because of the decline of monogamy have seen a greater level of sexual choice for an elite of men and a growing celibacy among a large male population at the bottom of the pecking order. ...

Bare branches also make for enthusiastic terrorists. ISIS used sexual slavery as a key plank in its recruiting pitch for foreign fighters. Like the ‘Wikings’, men who don’t have many prospects at home will take considerable risks if they think it’ll get them laid...

Conversely, settling down de-radicalises: according to research by the Institute of Family Studies, people with children are less likely to express views consistent with white identity politics. Likewise the Saudi Arabian deradicalisation programme essentially involved getting extremists married, and has proved very effective.

It’s difficult to tackle this subject without yourself getting accused of being ‘redpilled’ or a men’s rights activist.

Funny to see a woman writer conclude that The Red Pill is true. Or maybe not so funny, since the evidence is obvious and overwhelming.

For many years it seemed that overpopulation was the looming crisis of our age. Back in 1968, the Stanford biologists Paul and Anne Ehrlich infamously predicted that millions would soon starve to death in their bestselling, doom-saying book The Population Bomb; since then, neo-Malthusian rumblings of imminent disaster have been a continual refrain in certain sections of the environmental movement – fears that were recently given voice on David Attenborough’s documentary Life on our Planet.

At the time the Ehrlichs were publishing their dark prophecies, the world was at its peak of population growth, which at that point was increasing at a rate of 2.1% a year. Since then, the global population has ballooned from 3.5 billion to 7.67 billion.

But growth has slowed – and considerably. As women’s empowerment advances, and access to contraception improves, birthrates around the world are stuttering and stalling, and in many countries now there are fewer than 2.1 children per woman – the minimum level required to maintain a stable population. ...

Increasingly this is also the case in middle-income countries too, including Thailand and Brazil. In Iran, a birthrate of 1.7 children per woman has alarmed the government; it recently announced that state clinics would no longer hand out contraceptives or offer vasectomies.

Thanks to this worldwide pattern of falling fertility levels, the UN now believes that we will see an end to population growth within decades – before the slide begins in earnest.

Change my mind.

All boys about the age of 7 or 8 learned that girls have cooties, and girls have harbored resentment about it ever since.

"Somebody to live with me, raise my kids, pay half the rent, do household chores, but no sex."

Basically, going willingly into Lesbian Bed Death (most of these are two women)

This video from Pastor Michael Foster is the straight truth about toxic feminism.

There’s an intriguing argument being made about the COVID pandemic response, and it’s coming from a rather unexpected source—a woman. She suggests, in about one minute, that the entire reaction to the virus was driven by a distinctly female worldview. Honestly, this is the spiciest and best take we’ve ever seen, and it’s a perspective worth exploring, especially when we consider how the response played out: an emotional, hysterical overreaction, completely lacking any rational long-term thinking, fueled by fear, manipulation, and a “mean girl” mentality that pressured everyone to fall in line or else.

Think about it. Instead of a measured, data-driven approach, we saw a wave of panic wash over the entire globe, pushing us into lockdowns, school closures, and economic chaos—all based on worst-case scenarios and the inability to see beyond the immediate threat. Sadly, this is the very essence of the female reaction: focusing on the here and now without pausing to consider the bigger ramifications. It’s like the entire world was thrown into the arms of a frantic, overly protective helicopter mother who was desperate to shield her children from danger and ended up causing more harm than good.

‘Communities already have the solutions’: why I advocate for Indigenous knowledge
Environmental scientist and global advocate Jessica Hernandez works to secure women’s rights and to integrate Indigenous science into environmental policy.

...

She has founded the non-profit organization Earth Daughters, an Indigenous-led mutual-aid collective that supports Indigenous women and young people in Mexico and the United States. Through her work with Earth Daughters, Hernandez has supported the rebuilding of 200 homes in Oaxaca, Mexico, after they were destroyed by an earthquake in 2020; supplied food to about 200 families whose local food sources were wiped out by floods in Mexico; and raised funds to support medical assistance for those affected by the 2025 wildfires in Los Angeles.

Bet she'd make more if her work status was "in person".

OnlyFans is prostitution by remote workers.

LOL! Black Widows seeking new dumb stick victims to suck dry and shell out. Shouldn't these MILFs come with disclosures the number of oil changes, dead drones, life insurance policies plundered, divorce setllements, totals of alimonies collected, cat/wine bottle indices, and total monies spent on accessories, makeup, jewelry and plastic surgeries? Also, documentations of the baggages of their begat squats/dependents and trailing tragedies/melodramas. Did they throw their expired drones' ashes in the dumpster while creating altars to their stuffed Pomeranians?

Deal with them and kiss all honor and peace goodby.

How come she didn't include "expert at crawling under the boardroom tables to undo zippers" which is probably her main qualification.

The daycare is not the problem, it's the cost relative to the useless womyns job salary. It's good for kids to be out around others most of the day and learn to negotiate and develop social skills without depending on their parents, once they spent the first 2-3 years close to and most of the time with their parents. Just because American schools and universities indoctrination children doesn't mean the concept is bad, it's the execution which is shitty. Many great inventions have come out of schools and universities before many started getting occupied by the marxists. All about righting the ship here.

Janice Fiamengo shows how even conservatives are afraid to call out bad female behavior.

It is particularly horrible to see that even in a discussion specifically focused on men’s pain and alienation, women’s demands and presumed needs remain central. Bad men are those who “use and discard women.” But women who won’t marry a man unless he makes more money than they do, and who are willing to divorce a man, take his children, and live off his money once they’re tired of him, do not come in for any condemnation.

The marriage contract is the big bugger, because the predatory, parasitic conflict tax collecters known as the family law courts realize they can plunder the marital estates while exacerbating the bitterness between the couples and bleed the conflicts over years.

So, an unmarrying man retains the option to require good behavior from the female, while the female wants a binding marital contract that will fuck the man up no matter whether she fulfills her so called vows or not? Not a great set of alternatives with the pins set up in the bowling allies of the courts.

It's the best option for raising kids and financial synergy while you stay married, also if you're religious the churches and government unfortunately are somewhat joined on the hip. But something needs to change as not many modern men are cut out or want to endure this lopsidedness and a marriage time of shit tests. Sure if you are able to marry a rich one then you won't be raped financially but you still may lose kids and it's not good for them if your goal is to get divorced as soon as the going gets tough. This is part of a larger overhaul in society necessary where the patriarchy takes the reign again. At least the adversity brings out the best in you if you're ready to face it. Make sure she's at least hot, loyal and puts out, then you won't half the battle and just have to fight the other half ;)

Adjusting School Hours might be beneficial.

Maybe not every minute has to be planned by Karens. "1 hour Library and 1 hour Free Gym/Playground time" needs to be added in.

In Europe daycare still works pretty well for 1/3rd to 1/4 of the cost in the US. No political indoctrination and no planning out the whole day unless you put them into a special kindergarten. They get to play and socialize with light supervision. Parents aren't particularly worried their kid will be left behind if they don't start structured learning until elementary school. Also parents don't freak out if their kid gets schooled by someone else and learns an important lesson. I don't know why the US can't get daycare and education right, prob lots of reasons lol

Yurp has much higher taxes, duh. I'd rather pay out of pocket for a good daycare for couple of years (which I did) than be saddled with higher tax forever.

And in the US you pay at least a portion of it with pre-tax money.

Besides, if you go to church, most of the time your church will have a daycare. Meaning no woke shit (unless you go to a woke church, LOL).

Private organizations are sometimes cheaper than public daycares (which go by income) so it's not the subsidies. Taxes are def lower here though not by that much if you live in a higher tax state, and Christian daycare and schools are no doubt good choices when available. We have good Catholic schools nearby with reasonable tuition.
