Another Enlightenment Fraud

Again and again and again, we see that the “human rights” promoted by the self-styled “liberals” of the #Enlightenment were always fraudulent to their very core. Here we see in #England how so-called “equality” only goes one way and works systematically to the #disadvantage of #boys:

One of the biggest girls’ football leagues in the country faces being shut down by the Football Association for refusing to allow a boy to play in its matches.

The Mail on Sunday can reveal that a row has broken out between the FA and officials running a female league in Yorkshire after parents complained their son had not been allowed to join.

It is understood the FA has threatened the West Riding Girls Football League with sanctions and a possible suspension if it does not agree to let boys on the pitch, a scenario officials have branded ‘a massive threat to the girls’ game’.

Last week an emergency meeting was held by organisers of the league – which has at least 6,000 under-18 girls playing across more than 300 teams – where managers voiced their concerns that allowing boys to play would ‘open the floodgates’.

The FA’s gender policy states that any under-16 teams must allow both boys and girls to play, despite admitting that ‘physical strength, stamina or physique’ can put one sex at the disadvantage of the other. Fiona McAnena, at sex-based rights group Sex Matters, said: ‘A boy on the pitch changes everything. The law is clear that female-only sport is allowed. It’s sex discrimination for the FA to tell girls they must accept a male player.’

This is what inevitably happens when reality intrudes upon the #dogmatic #Enlightenment #principles to which the #secular champions of #social-justice have been appealing for more than 200 years. Whenever the #ideological #principle violates their #identity #priority, the principle always crumbles into dust.

We’ve seen it with #free-speech, as that has been trumped by the need for protect the ability of one group to believe they were uniquely persecuted in the 20th Century and for another group to ignore crime statistics. We’ve seen it with “democracy”, as that has been trumped by the need of #ClownWorld #governments to ignore the will of the people. And now we see it with “equality”, as three generations of unrestrained #assaults on #male-only-activities are suddenly jettisoned as soon as #female-only-activities are threatened.

We are somehow supposed to believe that #equality means telling girls they must accept a male player is #sex #discrimination, while not telling boys they must accept a female player is also sex discrimination. Which is, of course, a certain sign that #satanic #inversion is somehow involved.

The #Enlightenment is the philosophical basis for Clown World. It is an #outdated and #sophistic #philosophy that will disappear in the aftermath of Clown World’s #demise.

Milan Kundera's 1984 #novel The Unbearable Lightness of Being is an exploration of the concept of #Lightness.
Kundera uses Friedrich Nietzsche's doctrine of the Eternal Return to illustrate Lightness. Eternal Return dictates that all things in existence recur over and over again for all eternity.
...
“Life which disappears once and for all, which does not return” writes Kundera, is “without weight...and whether it was horrible, beautiful, or sublime...means nothing.” Each life is insignificant; every decision does not matter. Since decisions do not matter, they are "light": they do not tie us down. However, at the same time, the insignificance of our decisions - our lives, or being - is unbearable.

The novel pivots on Tomas, a surgeon and serial adulterer who embraces “lightness.” He is willfully free of all heaviness, shunning labels and ideals, and he justifies his physical unfaithfulness (mere #sex) on the basis of his emotional faithfulness (his #love for his wife).

Of each erotic experience his memory recorded only the steep and narrow path of sexual conquest: the first piece of verbal aggression, the first touch, the first obscenity he said to her and she to him, the minor perversions he could make her acquiesce in and the ones she held out against. ...
...
Tereza occupied his poetic memory like a despot and exterminated all trace of other women. That was unfair, because the young woman he made love to on the rug during the storm was not a bit less worthy of poetry than Tereza. She shouted, "Close your eyes! Squeeze my hips! Hold me tight!" ...
...
"It's not #sensual #pleasure I'm after," she would say, "it's #happiness. And pleasure without happiness is not pleasure." In other words, she was pounding on the gate of his poetic memory. But the gate was shut. ...

Brothel vs Burqah: 2024

It may be worth revisiting what I wrote back in 2006 concerning the choice facing the increasingly #secular #post-Christian #civilization:

The human spirit, like nature, abhors a vacuum. It is looking increasingly likely that the spiritual vacuum of the 21st century will offer #women a #choice between the #brothel and the #burqah as their #equalitarian #dream #shatters around them.

And then again in 2010 on this blog:

All of the airy secular notions about #multicultural societies, #sexual #equality, #universal #suffrage, and #premarital #sex are finally running into the hard brick wall of historical #reality. The various hypothetical coulds and shoulds are rapidly transforming into can’ts and don’ts. Now that #Christian #morality has been #abandoned in favor of empty moral relevance, there isn’t any means of rationally arguing with the immigrant pimps who are cheefully turning out Albion’s #sluttish #daughters while guarding their own with all the primitive #paternalism of a dragon guarding his treasure.

Now, set aside your instinctive emotional reactions for a moment and think about which of the two cultures a) truly values its daughters more, and b) is likely to demographically outperform the other. Is it the one that forcibly #protects young #women from their own #behavior or the one that #aborts them, #deprives them of #fathers, and generally #abandons them to their #momentary #impulses? And is there any evidence that the positive aspects of the #liberation of Western women, to use the rhetorical phrase, outweigh the negative aspects when viewed from a historical perspective?

As for one common argument to which those who admit the reality of the demographic problem often resort, the idea that the West’s scientific lead will somehow allow it to win any long-term intercultural struggle doesn’t hold water; intelligence agencies wouldn’t be assassinating Iranian scientists if sufficient military science didn’t translate across cultures and the same cultural forces that prevent Western fathers from controlling access to their daughters prevent Western universities from controlling access to their scientific technologies.

Needless to say, women voted en masse for #TheBrothel. The Brothel – which is to say the #satanic #values of #ClownWorld – has clearly triumphed over the last two decades, as can be seen by the present #human #hellscape that extends from one end of the #dying #civilization of the former #West to the other. Even those of us who were openly predicting #collapse had no idea that things could get this bad this quickly and comprehensively.

But Clown World’s victory is a pyrrhic and probably short-lived one, because its #dyscivicism has rapidly progressed from open #immorality to outright #insanity before our very eyes. What cannot sustain itself will not maintain itself. The Brothel is intrinsically parasitical, and no #parasite can survive on its own once its host departs.

Kommt mal auf den Teppich -- zum Umgang mit sexueller Andersartigkeit

Dass die politischen Führungen im Verein mit den großen Wirtschaftsakteuren des Westens in der Welt -- und speziell in der Ukraine, denn das ist der Anlass meines Posts -- nichts Gutes im Schilde führen, sollte klar sein.

Aber im Osten und Süden ist deshalb noch lange nicht das politische Heil zuhause.

Es geht mir im Besonderen um eine Verharmlosung des Umgangs mit sexueller Andersartigkeit in Russland, der so genannten islamischen Welt und Ländern des globalen Südens. Das sehe ich nämlich hier um sich greifen, auch bei Leuten, die ansonsten weder die Geschichten des Westens noch des Ostens glauben, was diesen Krieg angeht.

Ein Eintreten für die Rechte von Minderheiten hat nichts mit Hedonismus oder Dekadenz zu tun. Menschen würden deshalb nicht fliehen, wenn es nur darum ginge. Die Unterdrückung sexueller Minderheiten hat historische Gründe und ist kein Naturgesetz und auch kein Zeichen besonders hochstehender Moral. Auch hat die Existenz dieser Minderheiten nichts mit Dekadenz zu tun.

Andererseits soll der Westen mal seiner Nase nicht so hoch halten, denn genau das ist der Ort, von dem diese Intoleranz in alle Welt exportiert worden ist.

Ja, der Westen ist dekandent. Ja, Russland ist auch dekadent. Aber diese Dekadenz liegt in der Rolle, die das große Geld spielt, und die Instrumentalisierung von Minderheiten, die beide unter unterschiedlichen Vorzeichen betreiben, ist ein Teil davon.

Ich benutze bewusst nicht die gängigen Begriffe, und zwar, weil mich der öffentliche Umgang damit hier im Westen mittlerweile anwidert. Es verdienen Leute Geld an der übermäßigen Sexualisierung der entsprechenden Szenen. Es verdienen Leute immer mehr Geld, je mehr Menschen von Medikamenten abhängig gemacht werden, weil sie ihren Körper nicht mehr leiden können. Und der Westen genau so wie Russland, die islamische Welt und vielleicht auch Länder des globale Südens benutzen diese Minderheiten, um mit dem Finger auf andere zu zeigen. Damit werden Kriege gerechtfertigt.

Darum, bitte, übernehmt nicht einfach die Propaganda Russlands. Denn die ist genau das, was sie ist, und genau wie im Westen: Propaganda.

Доклад ООН призывает к декриминализации всех сексуальных отношений, в том числе между взрослыми и детьми.

Доклад, написанный Международным комитетом юристов (МКЮ), ЮНЭЙДС и Управлением Верховного комиссара по правам человека (УВКПЧ), был опубликован в Международный женский день. Названный "Принципами 8 марта", доклад призывает к декриминализации правонарушений, связанных с "сексом, употреблением наркотиков, ВИЧ, сексуальным и репродуктивным здоровьем, бездомностью и бедностью". Эксперты ООН утверждают, что криминализация правонарушений, связанных с этими вопросами, представляет собой посягательство на права человека.

"Уголовное право — один из самых суровых инструментов в распоряжении государства для осуществления контроля над людьми... как таковое, оно должно быть крайней мерой, однако, во всем мире наблюдается растущая тенденция к чрезмерной криминализации", — заявил в пресс–релизе Ян Зайдерман, директор по праву и политике ICJ. "Мы должны признать, что эти законы нарушают не только права человека, но и фундаментальные принципы уголовного права".

Хотя на первый взгляд это может показаться относительно бесспорным, доклад призывает декриминализировать секс между взрослыми и несовершеннолетними при условии "согласия" несовершеннолетних:

Что касается применения уголовного законодательства, то любой установленный минимальный возраст согласия на секс должен применяться недискриминационным образом. Правоприменение не может быть связано с полом/гендером участников или возрастом согласия на вступление в брак. Более того, сексуальное поведение с участием лиц, не достигших установленного в стране минимального возраста согласия на секс, может быть консенсуальным фактически, если не юридически. В этом контексте применение уголовного законодательства должно отражать права и способность лиц моложе 18 лет принимать решения о вступлении в половые отношения по обоюдному согласию, а также их право быть выслушанными в касающихся их вопросах.

В соответствии с их развивающимися способностями и прогрессирующей самостоятельностью, лица моложе 18 лет должны участвовать в принятии затрагивающих их решений с должным учетом их возраста, зрелости и наилучших интересов, а также с особым вниманием к гарантиям недискриминации.

Также отмечая важность Международного женского дня, Фолькер Тюрк, Верховный комиссар ООН по правам человека, сказал: «Сегодня самое время задуматься о власти и системах, где доминируют мужчины».

UN report calls for decriminalization of all sexual activity, including between adults and children

Written by the International Committee of Jurists (ICJ), UNAIDS and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), the report was released on International Women’s Day, with the goal of guiding “the application of international human rights law to criminal law.” Called the “8 March principles,” the report calls for offenses related to “sex, drug use, HIV, sexual and reproductive health, homelessness and poverty” to be decriminalized. The United Nations experts say that criminalizing offenses related to these issues constitute an attack on human rights.

“Criminal law is among the harshest of tools at the disposal of the State to exert control over individuals… as such, it ought to be a measure of last resort however, globally, there has been a growing trend towards overcriminalization,” Ian Seiderman, Law and Policy Director at ICJ, said in the press release. “We must acknowledge that these laws not only violate human rights, but the fundamental principles of criminal law themselves.”

While on the surface, it may seem relatively uncontroversial, the report calls for sex between adults and minors to be decriminalized, so long as the minors “consent”:

With respect to the enforcement of criminal law, any prescribed minimum age of consent to sex must be applied in a non-discriminatory manner. Enforcement may not be linked to the sex/gender of participants or age of consent to marriage. Moreover, sexual conduct involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual, in fact, if not in law. In this context, the enforcement of criminal law should reflect the rights and capacity of persons under 18 years of age to make decisions about engaging in consensual sexual conduct and their right to be heard in matters concerning them.

Pursuant to their evolving capacities and progressive autonomy, persons under 18 years of age should participate in decisions affecting them, with due regard to their age, maturity and best interests, and with specific attention to non-discrimination guarantees.

Also remarking on the significance of IWD, Volker Türk, High Commissioner for Human Rights, said, “Today is an opportunity for all of us to think about power and male dominated systems.”

Feminism, Transgenderism, and the Devil

The present battle between #feminazis and #trannies is a red-on-red conflict, as both #evil #ideologies spring from precisely the same source:

Conceptually, people think of the #Devil as #masculine. He is the ultimate “bad guy”, double emphasis on the “bad” and the “guy”. Traditionally theologians have largely conceptualized the Devil as a man, or manlike figure, and denoted him with the masculine pronoun, ‘he’.[6] However, as #Faxneld notes, not all have agreed with this summation. As the Devil is an #angel, this means he does not conform to the #gender #norms that #men and #women are formed in. Christian theological tradition does not require that the Devil conforms to a particular #sex, indeed it was recognized that demons could take the forms of any gender as they chose.

Anyone who has read the ancient Greek tales will be familiar with the way that the Greek deities could change gender at will, often using this to trick their victims and even at times the heroes of the tale. Minerva in Homer’s Odyssey is one example, but Odin was known to do the same thing, and many others. In fact, it was a consistent theme throughout the pagan pantheons to have gods transgressing all boundaries, including gender boundaries.

From a #Christian perspective these beings were neither fake, nor gods. They were a combination of legends and people’s encounters with demonic beings. It is easy to understand why the early Church, and many in the Medieval Church, viewed Satan neither as #male nor #female, but as a #boundary #transgressing being, who took on the form that was useful in the moment.

In many medieval and early modern representations of the Devil he is shown to be an “hermaphrodite monster”. Demons were viewed as ontologically unstable creatures that crossed gender and species boundaries. “Gender-bending would then be another sign of the #liminal and #blasphemously category-defying nature of Lucifer and his demons (figures 2.2 and 2.3).” Faxneld shares with us some #abominable examples of how the early modern artists visualized the Devil in figures 1 and 2.

As you can see, it was common for the Devil, and demons, to be visualized as inherently unstable beings that conformed not only to no gender boundaries, but no natural boundaries either. The devil is the ultimate boundary breaking entity, which is really a good description of evil itself. Evil intent consists in the desire and intention to transgress the boundaries laid out by #God himself. Indeed, one of the words for #sin in the #Bible is #transgression, which literally means to transgress the boundaries of what the Lord says is good. Evil inherently transgresses all of God’s good boundaries.

But not only was the Devil represented by such boundary transgressing beings, he was also conceptualized or represented as a #woman, or a serpent-woman. For instance, in one Christian work “Livre pour l’enseignement de ses filles (‘Book for the Education of his Daughters’, 1371–1372), the author,

“…Geoffrey attempts to instil in his daughters the lesson that women should defer to fathers and husbands in anything but domestic matters and makes his point by retelling how Eve broke this rule when she conversed with the serpent, ‘whiche as the Hystorye sayth hadde a face ryght fayre lyke the face of a woman’.”

It may be strange for us to conceptualize a #feminine #Satan, because it is more common to view him as masculine, but this was a consistent image throughout Church history.

“…A more straightforwardly female Satan can be seen in the actually very common depictions of the snake in the Garden of Eden with a woman’s head on its serpentine body and sometimes also the breasts of a woman…Exactly when the notion of a female snake was established is difficult to say, but the earliest translation of the Bible into Latin rendered the word as serpens—feminine gender.”

Indeed, according to J. B. Trapp “it was the most frequent way of representing the Edenic serpent from the late twelfth century until the late sixteenth century, when the human features of the creature disappear and it becomes, once more, only reptilian.” This is interesting that the devil would be represented by feminine imagery, but again, note, the Devil is not a man nor a woman, Satan is a fallen spiritual being. The Devil is inherently in a different category. Even if you want to argue the Scriptures lean towards presenting him as male figure, note, the view that he transgressed all boundaries is inherent in his rebellion against God’s good boundaries and in his role as ‘The Evil One’.

The most famous image representing the Devil’s transgender nature is the Baphomet. Baphomet is a hermaphrodite figure, and one of the most recognized symbols of Satan in the last century or so. Baphomet was first visually conceptualized by French occultist Éliphas Lévi “in his book Dogme et rituel de la haute magie (‘Dogma and Ritual of the High Magic’, 1855) and elsewhere.”

Note, we are not seeking here to establish precisely how Scripture describes the gender of the Devil. The point is to establish that a lot of historical Christian theology viewed the Devil as a being that transgresses all boundaries, and early feminists were inspired by this and took this idea and ran with it. They turned this #transgender #being into a #liberator of women.
