Solipsism and Feminist Rage Syndrome

Posted on | May 18, 2019 | 2 Comments

In his third book, The Rational Male: Positive Masculinity, Rollo Tomassi observes that women are prone to solipsistic thinking, making their own feelings the measure of everything, a self-referential point of view that makes objectivity impossible. Of course, many men are also inclined toward solipsism, but in our feminine-primary social order (to employ Rollo’s phrase), only male behavior is considered a proper object of criticism, whereas we are generally forbidden to criticize women. Therefore, the selfish attitudes and emotionalism of women is never noted — at least not by academics or journalists in any “respectable” forum — and these tendencies are indulged, encouraged and even celebrated. In our society, women’s desires are treated as entitlements, so that to deny her what she wants is an infringement of her “rights.” Women are considered to be so morally superior that they are incapable of lying (#BelieveAllWomen) and a woman’s anger is always legitimate.

This is the Red Pill perspective on contemporary culture, and you are free to argue with Rollo — don’t bother arguing with me, as I am merely the messenger — but my point in raising this topic involves the feminist reaction to the recent enactment of laws restricting abortion in several states, particularly Georgia and Alabama. Professor Donald Douglas calls attention to Rebecca Traister, feminist author of Good and Mad:
The Revolutionary Power of Women’s Anger.

Keep in mind, even the draconian law in Alabama only applies to Alabama, a conservative state with a population of about 4.9 million, which is about 1.5% of the U.S. population of 328.9 million. In other words, 98.5% of American women are unaffected by Alabama’s abortion law and, if a woman in Alabama wants an abortion, she can go to another state and obtain one. Rebecca Traister doesn’t live in Alabama and yet, believing abortion to be a fundamental right (because anything a woman wants is a “right”) she has worked herself into a towering rage over a law that doesn’t affect her or any of her liberal friends in New York. Speaking of places where Rebecca Traister doesn’t live, did you know abortion is completely illegal in El Salvador, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic? Also, with the exception of where necessary to prevent maternal death, abortion is illegal in the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Guatemala, Honduras, and many other countries.

Now, I suppose since Ms. Traister cares so doggone much about abortion rights, she’ll soon be venting her rage at leaders of all those countries. But of course she won’t, because what she wants is to continue the relentless slaughter of American babies. She hates Americans so much, she wants all American babies to be aborted, and she especially hates babies in Alabama, because a lot of Christians and Republicans live there.

You might say I’m unfairly exaggerating Ms. Traister’s enthusiasm for abortion, but what else can explain her rage? The U.S. abortion rate has been declining for several years, partly because of more effective contraceptives (e.g., the so-called “morning after” pill). While I don’t know the total number of abortions performed in Alabama last year, I don’t think it’s a particularly large number, and so it is unlikely that many women in Alabama will be inconvenienced by this new law.

Maybe you should read Rollo Tomassi’s books. Just sayin’ . . .
