Chronicling the ongoing intersectional struggle to liberate women — progressively defined to include the legacy kind and the transgenders — from The Patriarchy™, one microaggression at a time.
While I was out for a jog the other day, thinking about nothing in particular except whatever random thoughts popped into my head as I stared at the ground — running, I find, is an exceptionally boring activity, which I actually believe to be one of its benefits, in that it sort of forces one to be alone with oneself, with no easy distractions like a phone — I had something approaching an epiphany regarding modern women and their obsession with abortion.
“Why are so many women so singularly obsessed with abortion that their right to perform it without state interference — actually, with state help even — becomes their top political priority?” is a question I have often asked myself.
You will recall that, during the 2022 midterms, after the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, abortion became the prevailing issue that Democrats used to pitch female voters and their male white knights — and it largely worked.
But why?
Obviously, the answer is multifaceted, as these things usually are.
The most obvious reason is a general sense of “women’s rights,” including their right to literally do anything they feel like doing at any time with no constraints, including killing their own children. (See: Lindsay Clancy supporters.)
There is also, I believe, an angle of demonic child sacrifice that has reared its ugly head in various forms throughout virtually all civilizations, especially decadent ones in late-stage decline, throughout all of recorded history.
Then there’s the population control/eugenics angle, which is why I believe the likes of Bill Gates et al. of the technocratic elite are so enthusiastic about promoting it, rather than whatever feminist principles or humanitarian interests they pretend to harbor.
But my jogging revelation was that, anthropologically speaking, women’s sexuality has always been their primary source of power within a society — power most often wielded indirectly, behind the scenes, in a surreptitious manner.
We all know the quote about a great woman being behind every great man — and there’s much truth to that. Women can use their sexual power to get men, who historically ostensibly held the actual power, to do what they want as their surrogates.
So anyway, if they’re boxed into going through with any pregnancy they might not want as a result of exercising that power, such a burden would detract from their power for several reasons:
- They would be taken out of the game during their pregnancy and for some time afterward
- Their figure might not recover to its former level, at least not without a lot of work
- Men are naturally less inclined to become beholden to women who are already saddled with another man’s children

Whereas women in a previous era who might have been hesitant to voluntarily relinquish their sexual power — again, the only real kind of power they historically held in society — were socially pressured into getting married and having children for the sake of the viability of the nation (and their own long-term happiness), those pressures don’t exist to nearly the same extent anymore, as the power structure, via years of relentless propaganda, has convinced them that marriage is something akin to slavery.
Thus they are allowed to remain single forever with minimal shame, exploiting the source of their power for as long as they can manage it.
In the end, of course, they end up childless and miserable, regretting the petty power games they played for years — but by then the ship has sailed.

I could be off-base with this theory, but I think it’s got some legs.
