I had a long, interesting talk over brunch with a friend of mine this weekend. She’s an ex-academic with a background in:

Post WWI English Literature with an emphasis on Feminist and ‘Queer Theory’

American History with a theoretical emphasis on Post-Colonial Women’s History

She now works in the private sector and expresses some regret at her background in “diversity work” and recruitment for her former school in the upper Midwest.

I asked her if she’d help me figure out how a traditionalist movement might appeal to women. My actual question was “How do I write a WN blog without alienating female readers?”

Below are my neatened-up, transcribed notes.

Background: Learn the Difference between lower-case and Upper Case Feminists

Upper case Feminists

1. Grounded in abstract, academic and “intellectual” THEORY. These are ideologues who will deny the reality they see with their own eyes in favor of the “statistical truth.” They have an emotional and intellectual investment in using jargon, speaking aggressively and challenging normalcy.

“It’s the thrill of the insider. It’s a cult.”

2. Are basically Marxists who replace or mix or confuse “class struggle” with “gender struggle.” As a result, they are usually:

Anti-male—They see the presence of males in any group environment as possible threat and “pollution” by the patriarchy

Anti-Children/Traditional Family—They see children and the traditional family structure of Western cultures as a means of control of women

Anti-Religion—They see religion as the spiritualization of male dominance and, simultaneously, see any religion that elevates a female figure as creating an unrealistic ideal for women, punishing them tacitly for their shortcomings; in all cases, religion is control of women by men and to be radically re-worked or rejected

Radically Egalitarian—Women and men are THE SAME —not just equal in rights and dignity–save for genitalia

—not just equal in rights and dignity–save for genitalia Hyersexual/hypergamous OR asexual—Either way, they gravitate toward the ends of the bell curve in terms of sexual behavior; may dabble in homosexual activity. All sexual preferences a socially-visible way to assert POWER

Main Point: The capital-F Feminist is, like most leftists, obsessed with POWER: social power, economic power, political power and evolves the theory and action of Feminism to TAKE power, HOLD power and DENY power to threatening groups.

Her thoughts: “You’re never going to convince these people, anyway. They are part of the Left’s arcade of movements that take for granted that White Men are to blame for everything and that THEY, too, are victims whose only crime is not waking up to that fact sooner. Most of them are White and hold themselves in an intellectual limbo when it comes to “historical guilt.” Don’t ever waste time arguing or discussing or even mentioning these people. Real women don’t care what they think.”

Lower case feminists

Accept the reality of social and family life as developed in the Western world

Gender realists–Differentiate between “males” and “chauvinists” and understand that some behaviors are innate to gender

Part of a family unit—Married with children; may stay at home by choice or necessity; will choose FAMILY SECURITY over “the market”

Churchgoer—Can differentiate between faith and dogma; have a spiritual sense of self separate from the doctrines of the church they attend

Reasonably egalitarian—May favor equality of rights, dignity and opportunity for men and women, but do not deny gender differences in abilities, be they mental or physical

Sexually apolitical—Accept that sex is not politics unless made one by someone else (clueless Republican rape comments)

Self-responsible–Are aware of the special burden they bear in regards to child-rearing and will gravitate towards movements, parties and candidates who GENUINELY address the issues (abortion, post-partum health care, birth control); dislike the way Conservatives ignore these issues while simultaneously discussing “the family”

Main Point: Lower case feminists are concerned with RESPECT and SECURITY. They are largely apolitical and may express hostility or mixed regard for capital-F Feminists. Feel strong sense of obligation toward offspring. Disliked and distrusted by capital-F Feminists.

Her thoughts: “These women are normal people with common sense. You can reach them. They are very sensitive to social forces which threaten their well-being and those of their families. If you can explain in specific terms how any social force is a threat to their children NOW or in the future, you can make progress with them. Stop allowing the Barack Obamas of the world to sound like they care more about the well-being of White women than you do. Stop the anti-woman hostility.”

She helped me come up with a blogging protocol so as to stop “bouncing” female readers:

Mom-Friendly Protocol

1. Emphasize RESPONSIBILITY—It’s a mother’s duty to defend and protect her children and mothers know it

2 Don’t insult or blame all “women” for the stupidity of the few; be respectful of womanhood as more than just “breeders”

3. Underscore the unique “victimizability” of White women—What are the facts about White women and minority crime? How will a “mulatto USA” treat White women? Find stories that concentrate on this.

4. Point out how the Left’s Canon of Ideology will make life worse for them and their children when it is extruded to its fulfillment. Point out the possible future arc of the trends:

White privilege teach-ins

Institutional racism teach-ins

“Implicit bias”

Anti-White law schools

Anti-White police training

Anti-White jury instructions

Anti-White media trends

Are these factually-based? What might all of these mean for little Braeden and Courtney in 25 or 30 years? Will life be better or worse for them?

5. NO EPITHETS. NO SWEARING. These turn middle-class women off. Be forceful without being uncivil. Incivility will drive women to believe the enemy.

6. Expose their past exposure. Tell them why they think what they were taught to think in school. Who wrote the curriculum? Tread lightly and be careful.

7. Expose anti-White bias in media; Women pay closer attention to media than many men

8. Use facts and examples to discuss what the Left does.

How does it:

Excuse and champion perversion?

Explain away and make excuses for criminality—especially minority criminality

Deny common sense
