The history of woman is the history of the worst form of tyranny
the world has ever known; the tyranny of the weak over
the strong. It is the only tyranny that lasts.


Oscar Wild

We have seen that masculinity and femininity are drawn from the two
fundamental forces in the universe, the forces of repulsion and attraction.
These forces are not all that comprise what we call male and female, but
they are the quintessential ingredient. The inherent relationship between
these two forces is such that attraction will operate on repulsion to pull
it towards itself, or in human terms, attraction tries to ensnare while
repulsion tries to escape. On the political scale the preponderance of one
or the another of these two forces will tend towards two different extremes;
the masculine towards complete freedom, the feminine towards a complete
totalitarian society. We can understand then why Aristotle wrote; "women do
not conspire against tyrants; and they are of course friendly to tyrannies
... since under them they have a good time," because the essential
characteristic of oppressive government is feminine unity, which involves a
"centralization of power."

There can be no such thing as a pure male tyranny then, since maleness, or
repulsion, does not associate at all, either as oppressor or the oppressed,
but since no man or woman is completely male or female, it can not be said
that all women are tyrants and all men want only freedom. But if you will
observe, male tyrants, even highly praised ones like Julius Caesar and
Napoleon, have been noted for their feminine characteristics - for being "in
touch with their feminine sides." Conversely, women with a strong desire for
freedom have been known for their masculinity. Now a single individual
acting as a tyrant can still retain a good measure of masculinity because it
is a single person, a more feminine state would be a "tyranny of the
majority" due to the collectivist nature of women; which of the two
tyrannies is worst we may appraise by Lord Acton's words; "It is bad to be
oppressed by a minority, but it is worse to be oppressed by a majority ...
from the absolute will of an entire people there is no appeal, no
redemption, no refuge but treason."

Having addressed things at the most fundamental level we now move to
incorporate that quality which separates us from the animals, namely,
reason, which is notably pronounced in a patriarchal society and reaches its
peak under a republican government. As this type of government displays a
marked hierarchical arrangement, which involves a series of  pyramidal lines
or "chain of command," it is true that along those lines a strong force is
exerted. A more feminine society lacks such a strong hierarchy with its
lines of command as the association of individuals in such a society is less
rigidly organized, yet, such looseness permits a closer  association among
individuals, and association is inherently related to influence, and
influence to power. To use a graphic example to illustrate which is more
oppressive, consider which circumstances you would prefer to find yourself,
in a body of water with a Great White shark or a school of piranhas. With
the Great White, no matter how big or how hungry, you have a chance to evade
or fend it off, because it is a single animal with a single line of attack
at any given time which you can respond to with some hope of success, but
the piranhas attack you at a hundred different places at once, and even
though their bite is smaller, the collective effect will be almost certainly
fatal. What if you were under water without air, which would offer you the
least hope, the piranhas or the prospect of drowning? While the piranhas are
almost certain death, drowning is even more certain, because the water, even
though it offers no violent contact, is everywhere and all around you, like
"the absolute will of an entire people" there is no escape. Even on a
private one-to-one basis without the all powerful collective effect of
numerous individuals, we see that, while a man may occasionally hit his
wife, a wife may incessantly "hen-peck" and "smother"
her husband, as to
which is worse, ask any husband - or piranha. (continued)
