Gender roles and our immigration policy
Watching the Big Media hysteria over
our immigration policy, I thought about the image of mommy/democrat
and daddy/republican parties.
But we need to stretch the image a bit
because we also now have radical feminism and a new fascism
distorting real gender differences.
Then there is the related image of good and bad
marriages. Good marriages compromise and work things out between
feminine nurturing and masculine territoriality, and bad marriages do
not.
The image gets stretched even more when
we see that some democrats want more immigrants because immigrants
tend to vote for democrats, which is a more territorial than
nurturing motivation.
Traditional gender roles had women
handling most of the nurturing in the home and men taking care of
territoriality outside of the home, and both more or less letting the
other do their thing. That worked fairly well for many centuries
because it was in direct harmony with biological or genetic
differences between men and women which make women better
at nurturing and men better at protecting the territory. These
biological differences have not changed.
But traditional gender roles and
marriages can get exaggerated or hypertrophied to the degree that women totally cover
themselves with veils in public while their men make endless war
against virtually everyone.
There may be no one-size-fits-all
cultural solution to these "battles between the sexes"
because cultures and ethnic groups are different in the way they deal with these things. But there is one-size-fits-all in the primary biological or genetic gender differences between feminine
nurturing and masculine territoriality. This logically harmonizes with women handling most of the nurturing
because they are better at it, and men taking care of most of the territoriality
because the are better at that, and both more or
less letting the other do their thing.
This points toward the
daddy/republican/conservative philosophy conducting our territorial
immigration policies.
