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.
