Can't unsee it

I was describing to my pal Bill this morning how hard it is to find a film or TV show with a White male hero who is not directly or by proxy physically humiliated by a Phallic Female.

I never recall seeing a strong non-White male character subjected to this.*

The lack of this symbolic castration in Jurassic World, where Chris Pratt is an actual cowboy style alpha male, makes it worth seeing, just for that.

I first noticed it in Captain America and now cannot unsee it.

I was going to download Ant-Man, but the trailer proved me right and turned me off.

In real life, of course, these fantasy Phallic Females are rare indeed.

All part of the lies of the Potemkin Village we live in.

*Don't get me started on commercials. They are a whole nother circle of Hell.

It lent some credence to my theory that because men are hierarchical by nature, that submission to a stronger male --within the tribe--is actually a masculine trait, not by itself a sign of effeminacy. Given the nature of hierarchies, from gangs to armies to monasteries to prisons, every male but the alpha must submit. It's the quality of the dominance-submission that's crucial. As in wolf packs, both betas and omegas recognize a stronger male power, but there's a world of difference between them.

I once had a fascinating set of in-person conversations with one of the most beautiful men I have ever met. He was a powerful and educated professional in his daylight life, but in sexual terms he thrived on submission to a master. He was quite clear --something which an outsider to his world could not see-- about the difference between submission --which is a bond-- and abuse, which is merely contempt.

The male soul. Endlessly fascinating.; 1:30 PM, July 25, 2015
-A said...: I agree and I have always found those posts of yours to be lovely. Very true in their observations and almost poetic in how much you truly honor the Male Soul.

Toward Our Future

What the sons of Europa need is a new religion: one that is as tribal, portable and survivalist as Judaism, as masculine, terrestrial and tough as Islam and as intellectually and aesthetically creative as Christianity...with a dose of the unflinching realism of the ancestral ways of the Greeks and Romans, Germans and Celts and Slavs..And for the larger Indo-European frame, something of the Indian capacity to combine an ultimate and philosophical realization of The One with a robustly mytho-poetic religion on-the-ground. Oh, and some of the psychological acumen of Buddhism.

Liberalism's Basic Flaw

Liberals believe that the chief role of the State is to force everyone to be equal, (ie, take vengeance on the successful). So when they are confronted with any group that they deem less well off than themselves, they are morally disarmed, completely and utterly. Any group that can achieve Victim Status is on their way to power and the (White) liberal's only job is to give them what they want, no matter how much that damages him. And nothing may ever be expected, much less demanded, of them in return. It's a recipe for suicide: no other outcome is possible.
