The feminine understands that Loneliness is also something to fear. The death of the "self" is just as distressing as the death of the "body" even if the blood and guts are invisible.

Hint hint: Notice how society is increasing our ability to survive at the cost of loneliness and alienation. Fear is like the moon. Most people only understand one side of it and dump garbage into the other side because out of sight out of mind.

This emphasis on the masculine also ironically affects men MORE because they no longer have anything to face. There are no wars to go to to prove oneself so they have to recreate warlike conflicts in everyday life.

Women on the other hand are in the same place they've always been. Quietly facing dangers and demons in a battle no one else cares about or can see. (including other women!)https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1346574581574692864 …

This leads to an ironic situation where in a masculine emphasized society the feminine has more opportunities for growth than the majority of men! (non-elites) W/o the ability to face their fears men are often forced into virtual reality worlds like video games or making money.

In China for example, women tend to do much better academically than men. (who are all playing DOTA or LOL or whatever the fuck is popular now) There is even an aphorism: 阴盛阳衰 Rise of Yin, fall of Yang.

This is b/c the pressure to excel academically is SOCIAL pressure of being left behind as a dumb worthless loser. Men are less susceptible to social pressure so the system leaves them behind unless their parents break them into dogs first.

Those that rebel against the system strive for independence, the ability to face loneliness. Yet their method of doing so makes them SOURCES of loneliness because they are no longer sensitive to how painful it feels. They flagellate others the same way they flagellate self.
