Language and men’s-rights activism

Language is applied mathematics. The ability to use a language properly is a prerequisite to correct logical reasoning. Logic is a branch of mathematics. The word logic is rooted in Greek and means: speech, the word, reason. Logic cannot be used correctly by anyone who does not have a full command of the English or his own language, not so much with respect to correct spelling, but most definitely with respect to using correct grammar and correct sentence structure.

It seems to me that habitual sloppiness in writing and speaking reflects sloppy thinking. Sloppy thinking leads to faulty logic and to wrong decisions, whether that is in computers, in the human mind or in societies in general.

Unfortunately, the importance of logic in everyday life is no longer being taught. The feminists (don’t forget that feminists come in both sexes) usurped the design, control and administration of the education system. Their control of the education system is absolute. Their logic is flawed. The feminists have nothing but disdain for logic. They replaced logic with feelings and with “women’s way of knowing.” They justified doing so by judging logic to be bad, by claiming that logic is patriarchal linear thinking and therefore needs to be eradicated. The ability to think logically is being deliberately deconstructed through teaching students bad and insufficient language skills, by letting students who have less or none of the necessary language skills pass to the next grade and by letting even illiterate students graduate.

The feminists are doing that primarily by dumbing-down the curriculum, first and foremost by deliberately creating the lack of the ability to think logically, through teaching students inferior language skills. The feminists cannot entirely be blamed for engaging on that course of action. The foundations for that were laid in the 1930s by liberals who launched the concept of child-centered learning. The feminists did nothing more than to gain absolute control of the education system and to expand on and to accelerate the damage caused by the concept of child-centered learning. Thereby the education system has become a feminist tool used in the systematic deconstruction of society.

It is a sad state of affairs that boys have become the primary target of the dumbed-down education system, but the reality of our brave-new feminist world order is that, without the acquisition of proper language skills, mathematical know-how and the skill of logical thinking can for the majority of students at best only be inferior products of the curriculum.

If we wish to have influence in the process of changing the world for the better, then we must think logically and make correct decisions. We also need to be able to convince people, so as to get them to help us.

We will not convince anyone by using faulty logic or by using poor and sub-standard language skills that will at best convince people that we, if we don’t care enough to use proper language, will not likely have the ability to be right. At worst, men’s-rights activists who fail to lead by example and use good and correct language will be considered to possess sub-normal intelligence and be quite possibly relegated to the status of being sub-human. Thus we would play into the hands of the redfems, whose claims about men are exactly that women are good and men are bad, that women can do everything that men can do and do it better, that therefore men are sub-human, not only that, but that men are beasts with a sub-normal level of intelligence.

Granted, not everyone can reach top quality of writing, and many people write far better than some of us who write well. However, all of us must at least try to write well and to write logically correct. If we don’t, then people will think that we have no right to complain about anything because we don’t demonstrate that we care enough to formulate our complaints and concerns in grammatically-correct language.

By using poor or bad language that is logically flawed we will with certainty fail to convince others to have confidence in us.

All the best,

    Yes Walter, and it is more serious than just thinking logically. There is a very close correlation between the language we use and the way our minds work. Our language does not just come from our thoughts; it is a two-way process, and the way we frame our language can influence or even control our thoughts. George Orwell understood this which is why he posted his warnings in “1984″, for example.

    This is why we need to correct sloppy and dangerous language. Here is a case that I think illustrates the point, is very important and should be very close to home for fathers everwhere. We repeatedly hear the phrase “he got her pregnant”; but I maintain that the concept being suggested by such a phrase is an impossibility. A man simply cannot get a woman pregnant in any real sense. The only way that could be done is if he could both control her physically while depositing his sperm (entirely possible of course) but also steer his sperm through her body, against all natural obstacles, for a period of several hours until he induced it to penetrate her egg (a total impossibility). And even if he achieved this impossibility, he has no say whatsoever in whether she gets to continue the pregnancy through to term or not. The law is very careful to place that decision entirely in the hands of the woman. So her continuing pregnancy is 100% her decision and therefore 100% her responsibility.

    Hence I maintain it is much more accurate to say “she got herself pregnant using his sperm”, or maybe “having accepted his sperm, she did nothing to prevent Nature from taking its course which resulted in her pregnancy”.

    But of course our society apparently does not want more accurate phrasing in these situations, because it would focus attention on the respective levels of responsibility of the man and the woman. And we must place responsibility on the man, right? Hence the language must be controlled so as to manipulate our thoughts to accept the notion that the man is indeed responsible. “I don’t care how you describe it, but he did it!”

    Now turn your thoughts to the dramatic shifts that would have to take place in our whole approach to parenthood, reproductive rights and responsibilities, and the huge problem of fatherless children, if our society accepted the point I make above, and forced itself to think logically and accurately through the consequences. Too much for timid minds to contemplate, eh? Which is why, as a society, we run in the opposite direction and cling to the falsehood with which we seem to be more comfortable. But at whose cost?

    There is very much more here, it is a vast field. But congratulations on at least opening the door into it.
