The Growing Political Divide Between Young Men and Women: An Evolutionary Perspective

In recent years, there has been a growing political divide between young men and women in many countries around the world. This divide is evident in a number of areas, including attitudes towards gender roles, social issues, and even the way that young people view the future. 

One way to understand this divide is from an evolutionary perspective. Evolutionary psychologists argue that men and women have different evolved psychological predispositions, which can lead to different political views. For example, men are more likely to be concerned with power and status, while women are more likely to be concerned with relationships and social harmony. This difference in priorities can lead to different views on issues such as economic inequality, immigration, and war.
Another way to understand the political divide between young men and women is through the lens of Carl Jung's concept of the shadow. The shadow is the unconscious part of the personality that contains all of the aspects of ourselves that we deem unacceptable. When we repress these aspects of ourselves, they can manifest in negative ways, such as through aggression, violence, or prejudice.

Jung believed that the shadow is a universal human phenomenon, but that it can be expressed differently in men and women. For men, the shadow is often associated with power, aggression, and violence. For women, the shadow is often associated with passivity, submission, and dependence. 

In the postmodern era, the shadow is increasingly being projected onto the opposite sex. This can lead to a situation where men and women see each other as enemies or competitors, rather than as potential partners. This can further exacerbate the political divide between young men and women. Of course, not all young men and women are divided by politics. There are many young people who are working to bridge the divide and create a more just a holy society. However, the growing political divide is a real challenge that we must address if we want to create a better future for all.

In conclusion, the political divide between young men and women is a complex issue with deep roots in our evolutionary history. However, it is important to remember that the shadow is not a fixed part of our personality. It can be transformed and integrated into our conscious awareness through the process of individuation. By working to understand and embrace our shadow, we can break down the barriers between men and women and create a more loving and harmonious world.

“Where love rules, there is no will to power, and where power predominates, love is lacking. The one is a shadow of the other.”

This quote by Carl Jung reminds us that love and power are two sides of the same coin. When we are ruled by love, we are motivated by compassion, cooperation, and mutual respect. When we are ruled by power, we are motivated by competition, dominance, and aggression. 

The political divide between young men and women is a reflection of the shadow side of our society. It is a manifestation of our fear, anger, and resentment. But it is also an opportunity for growth. By working to understand and embrace our shadow, we can create a more loving and harmonious world.

Rethinking Therapy Settings: Insights from "Redpill Psychology"

What can possibly be happening in the minds of men sitting in female dominated space, box of tissue at their side, with a woman saying “tell me how you feel” about this or that? Even worse, asking such probing questions with the implication that he is an empty emotional vessel in need of her redemption. Lea Winerman, a staff writer for the American Psychological Association asks us to “imagine the Marlboro man in therapy.” Imagine instead a therapy office in the boiler room of a ship, in a workshop, a park, a building site, mechanics shed or a sports locker room, with seating arrangements that allowed men to sit at 45 degree angles or side by side — engaged in some kind of task if they wished.           Imagine too if we were to engage in some kind of typical male play or industry – not just Jungian sandplay or water-color art therapies as suits the more effeminate sensibilities of women, but hands on therapy – while driving a truck, fixing the engine of a ...

Proof the New Age Movement is Satanic

Rhetoric is the art of ruling the minds of men and it's composed of logos, pathos, and ethos. The first part of ethos is establishing your credentials to be speaking to the audience on the specific subject matter.  So when you decide to give your life to Jesus after years of apostasy, the strongest resistance comes from lost souls who need Jehovah the most. These are individuals with multiple personalities and idolaters - people who draw metaphysical power from sacred geometry pendants. The first sign of their insanity is revealed by how you have to reinforce biblical common sense upon their psyche over and over again expecting a different result but they keep on retaliating using uneducated opinions. Have you ever argued with someone with short man syndrome on Facebook? The aftermath is a pensive feeling. Satan, the enemy of God is, in reality, the highest divine spirit and the arch-deceiver commissioned the mother of the new age movement to downplay him and affiliate him with the...

The Dangers of Cults: The Dark Side of Religiosity

Religion can be powerful in people's lives, providing hope, comfort, and a sense of community. Whether it's the rituals and traditions of mainstream religion or the intense personal beliefs of those who follow more unconventional paths, religion can bring a great deal of meaning and purpose. However, there is a dark side to religion as well, particularly when it comes to cults. The recent news out of Kenya is a tragic reminder of the dangers of allowing ourselves to become caught up in a system of beliefs that leads to death. Reports of at least 103 people, including children, starving to death after following the instructions of their religious leader to embark on a fast to "meet Jesus" are disturbing. Cults are a manifestation of what happens when groupthink becomes too strong, and critical thinking takes a back seat. It starts with the charismatic leader and the promise of transformative and magical experiences, which leads to a group of followers who b...
