That’s not me. Well, it depends what you mean by “does well”. I don’t approve of the current paradigm, but I tend to think the only way out is through. Further, I basically accept that the war between the sexes is eternal and that’s good thing.

You mean something like Evola’s ‘man in time’ or accelerationism? Certainly has its appeal and is easier to execute than any attempt at restoration. I for one am waiting for the Eschaton. I think only God can fix this mess by this point... I prefer ‘rivalry’ to ‘war’ vs women.

It’s just the view I developed myself. Call it Hartian pragmatism if you want, I don’t know about Evola or Acc. Sex is a war...people die over love! “All’s fair in love and war.” Rome and Juliet! And if you don’t die...your genes aren’t passed on—a sort of death!

When you put it like that, yes; though ‘war’ used in that sense is somewhat metaphoric. I think in an *actual* war, you must be able to truly detest your enemy, & be ready to exterminate him if needed—& I can’t see that attitude to women. A desire to dominate? Yes. But not detest

1. von Clausewitz spoke of necessary force. Threaten to”exterminate” your enemy and he will fight to the death & strongly, not a logical military strategy! Leave him room to surrender!

2. Soldiers don’t hate (maybe fanatics & terrorists do). They respect their opponent and honour him (her). They don’t detest either. They see the game of war (love) and try to play as honourably as possible, although the stakes are high.

In the classical warrior tradition, yes. To that extent I concede the point—a date is like a classical duel. I suppose my view of war has been warped by the tendency in modern warfare to whip up mass emotion by propaganda (then again, that does tend to be for the civilians).

I think people think too much about the Holocaust or the Gulag when they think of war. These were exceptional events. And even the totalitarians took prisoners (although the Germans & Russians effectively exterminated their respective captives—different on W. Front).

I must also add that a date, like a classical duel, often ends with a bang.

Then again, I’m having trouble imagining one duelling noble saying to the other, ‘I know you want to draw first blood but I think of you more as a friend so let’s not fight any more’!

I think that does happen, if one guy concedes that he was in the wrong and apologises—not likely if you take honour seriously.
