"The Unexpurgated Case Against Women's Suffrage" by Sir Almroth E. Wright

[Divergent_Integral]

An old book by an eminent British microbiologist. (He developed an inoculation against typhoid fever, among other things.) The book might interest the more historically-minded among you. Personally I think giving foids the vote was the single biggest mistake in the history of modern Western civilization. Almost all ills in today's sexual and relational marketplace, as well as numerous other intractable social problems, can be traced back to that infamous decision. But alas, men like Sir Almroth weren't numerous enough to prevent it and now find themselves on the wrong side of history.

The "intellectual" whose name appears at
the foot of woman's suffrage petitions will,
when you have him by himself, very often 22
Make confession:--"Woman suffrage," he
will tell you, "is not the grave and important
cause which the ardent female suffragist
deems it to be. Not only will it not do any
of the things which she imagines it is going to
do, but it will leave the world exactly where
it is. Still--the concession of votes to women
is desirable from the point of view of sym-
metry of classification; and it will soothe the
ruffled feelings of quite a number of very
worthy women."
It may be laid down as a broad general rule
that only two classes of men have the cause of
woman's suffrage really at heart.
The first is the crank who, as soon as he
thinks he has discerned a moral principle, im-
mediately gets into the saddle, and then rides
hell-for-leather, reckless of all considerations
of public expediency.
The second is that very curious type of man,
who when it is suggested in his hearing that the
species woman is, measured by certain intel-
lectual and moral standards, the inferior of the 23
species man, solemnly draws himself up and
asks, "Are you, sir, aware that you are insult-
ing my wife?"
To this, the type of man who feels every un-
favourable criticism of woman as a personal
affront to himself, John Stuart Mill, had
affinities.

Holy fucking based

"What, then, is chivalry if it is not a question
of serving woman without reward?"
A moment's thought will make the matter
clear.
When a man makes this compact with a
woman, "I will do you reverence, and protect
you, and yield you service; and you, for your
part, will hold fast to an ideal of gentleness, of
personal refinement, of modesty, of joyous
maternity, and to who shall say what other
graces and virtues that endear woman to
man," that is chivalry.
It is not a question of a purely one-sided 56
bargain, as in the suffragist conception. Nor
yet is it a bargain about purely material things.
It is a bargain in which man gives both
material things, and also things which pertain
perhaps somewhat to the spirit; and in which
woman gives back of these last.
But none the less it is of the nature of a con-
tract. There is in it the inexorable do ut des;
facio ut facias [give me this, and I will give you that; do this for me, and I will do that for you].
And the contract is infringed when woman
breaks out into violence, when she jettisons
her personal refinement, when she is ungrate-
ful, and, possibly, when she places a quite ex-
travagantly high estimate upon her intellectual
powers.

Lol

THE woman voter would be pernicious to
the State not only because she could not back
her vote by physical force, but also by reason
of her intellectual defects.
Woman's mind attends in appraising a state-
ment primarily to the mental images which it
evokes, and only secondarily--and sometimes
not at all--to what is predicated in the state-
ment. It is over-influenced by individual in-
stances; arrives at conclusions on incomplete
evidence; has a very imperfect sense of pro-
portion; accepts the congenial as true, and re-
jects the uncongenial as false; takes the imagi- 88
nary which is desired for reality, and treats the
undesired reality which is out of sight as non-
existent---building up for itself in this way,
when biased by predilections and aversions, a
very unreal picture of the external world.

Very good find op

Thanks. I'm sure other blackpill gems from that time period are still waiting to be rediscovered by based men of today. Stay tuned!

The idea to ask the average person what state policies should be is so profoundly stupid I have trouble explaining it.

Asking some woman in the grocery store how giant industries should be regulated or what should be the moral laws of the society.. its so stupid it boggles the mind.
