>He disliked nearly all women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy.
was orwell right?
it actually is generally the norm that women are the most slavish cultists and the most zealous devotees of religious orders and stuff. pre-war and pre-suffrage, women were massively overrepresented in hardcore religious organisations. the most reflexive traditionalists are always women.
women defend the status quo for the status quo's sake because going against the grain is a bad idea when you already have intrinsic value and don't need to seek out undiscovered and unexploited niches or establish new regimes with your own boner on top.

i totally agree. today, if you're a young, attractive girl, all you have to do to be successful, is follow the patriarchal system and find a rich man to marry. they have it so easy, so of course they want to maintain the status quo. i can't tell you how many girls i've seen describe themselves as "country girls" who wear flannel and cowboy boots. who love shooting guns, driving trucks, and getting muddy. in american society it's fashionable to be a walking, talking clone of the system. it's disgusting

"The superior man doesn't need women. He can have sensuality without sexual possession. This is something a woman, even a superior one, could never accept. The woman is a fundamentally sexual creature."

Does anybody else here feel like they have successfully "killed" their will?
I've read a lot of stoic writing and I can't help but find many of the sentiments expressed in that writing reappearing in works that would be labelled "pessimist". And from pessimism I see no real convincing argument, except the kind of absurdist or sort of comically and almost self-parody style arguments, that one should not commit suicide if one's will has been diminished to the point where every action and all future moments are experienced with reluctance and which reap no reward which justifies that reluctance. Does anybody relate to this at all?
I'm tempted to read Mitchel Eisman's "Suicide Note" but it's very long and from the reviews I've read it seems to cover a lot of political and historical theories that I'm not particularly interested in. I could extend this post but I will stop here for now.
you're probably just clinically depressed. seek help m8.

Do you seriously think that or are you making an impulsive diagnosis?
I haven't felt wildly different from the way I feel now for several years. It seems to me that since some point I can't remember I have been moving gradually towards the logical conclusion of some internal motivation which to me seems like my capacity to reason or to observe and value things without emotional distraction, or that a conclusion is waiting for me to accept but some inner reluctance has stubbornly drawn out the process of my having to accept it. I consider that I may be thinking dramatically about something that may be rather mundane (I may be predisposed to apathy or a very basic mode of living) but I don't think the perspective I have of myself, my disposition and so on suggests that this gradually looser grip and growing detachment from life is the result of some desire to live a comfortable, empty, emotionless life in isolation.
Stoicity is as similar to pessimism as beef jerky to oranges. They are both edible (ideals), but one is completely different than the other. One could easily confuse the colours (brown to orange), but that's just an incorrect relation (or non-relevant one).
I have lived as a stoic a few years, and i didn't even know about this style of living being a widely known theory. I can easily tell you that i turned from a pessimist to an optimist through this.
Being able to take away all emotions at whim is what enables you to lead a happy life, simply because you do not care about bad things that happen.
