Competitive Pressure Toward Better Relationships

My response to the gender war is as follows. Both sides are wrong.

On one side we see malicious harpies viciously attacking the better women and men who love them. On the other side we see abusive, paranoid scumbags influencing other men – including the better-natured ones – to be as nasty as they are, including toward women whom they have loved. Both are the worst elements in their respective genders; and it is outrageous that either of them claim to speak for one half of humanity that is their gender.

Neither men nor women deserve to either lead or follow. There are good and bad women, and there are good and bad men. Good men and good women deserve to lead. Bad men and bad women have no business claiming to speak for their gender or influencing the rest of their gender to be as bad as they are.

I embrace neither male power nor female power. I want men and women to do the right thing by one another and treat each other right. This happens when men who are willing to be good to women get together with women who are willing to be good to men. Thus, get an American liberal man together with an Iranian or Brazilian or Russian women, and see created a positive-sum relationship in which each side is willing to treat one another better than they stand to be treated in their home cultures.

This will create a competitive pressure upon the people in each culture to be good to the other gender. When left to their own devices, people will pursue situations that will be good for them; and this will in turn reward those who are willing to treat the other gender right. Women will gravitate toward men who are willing to be good to women, and men will gravitate toward women who are willing to be good to men. This will result in the best in each gender being rewarded without there needing to be any large-scale government effort or social movement toward that effect.

Women who are willing to be good to men: Know that you're better than the politically correct harpies and embrace the good in yourselves and share it with men who would appreciate and reward it. Men who are willing to be good to women: Know that you are better than misogynists and likewise embrace the good in yourselves and share it with women who would appreciate and reward it. Get together with one another and create positive-sum relationships. And show the rest of the world just how man-women relationships should be done.
