That fits…Another aspect of this materialistic society - it seems to me - is the hoarding behavior we are displaying. It’s all about fear.We try to fill ourselves with food, fill ourselves with more money, more objects, cram more qualifications behind us "just in case we need them". RZ: Right. What I really oppose is the Creeping Femaleness of our entire civilization. Creeping Femaleness. The “news” formats, the advertisers, the government programs, the politicians, the school programs are all modelled to appeal to women. Why? Because women make 80% of buying decisions and their only perceived job seems to be voicing opinions about things. No matter that those pinions are not connected to any action. Men will take care of that. At times I'think that women instinctively believe the entire thrust of their lives is to persuade men to do things for them…Meanwhile, groups of unemployed boys gather on street corners and form gangs that vilify absolutely everything the matriarchy offers up. Trying to recreate masculine culture in the midst of this feminized mess. DB: And the effete populations of the West become ever more over-qualified, fat, and consumeristic. It's an emotional reaction against fear that we will not be prepared for the future; that stops us living in the present. Which is what Jesus was saying: fear not for the future. Several times in your book you mention Jesus. What is your view/theory on him and his message? RZ: Jesus was a good guy. I’m a Gospel Christian. I pray every day. For peace and guidance. For one year I was a Benedictine monk, right after my divorce. In fact, that’s when I did the research for the book, when I was living as a monk. I’m a solid member of the Christian Left. Always have been. Don’t support war or abortion. Like the Pope. I am NOT a right wing Christian. They get their cues from the pre-Jesus, fire-and-brimstone Jewish prophets, or the post-Jesus ravings of the disciples. I think they’re nuts. In fact, I don’t even think they’re Christians. I think they’re wannabe Jews. Dangerously delusional. Everything I need to know about Christianity is in the Gospels - which are basically some conflicting stories about what Jesus is alleged to have said and did. What Jesus said and did, I presume, is what Christianity is supposed to be about. The Sermon on the Mount, Mathew 5,6,7 says it all. And mostly Christianity is about living without fear. And without hoarding and consumerism and all the fear-bred female impulses that plague us today. I’ve studied in Buddhist wats in Thailand and Hindu ashrams in India too, and the essential message is the same. Release your ego and live without fear. Something men are good at, and women don’t seem to have a clue about. That’s why I say men are naturally more spiritual than women. DB: Fear leads to hoarding. RZ: Right, hoarding and materialism and ultimately war. War is fought for more material stuff and women are the ones who crave the material stuff. DB: Are you gonna say what I think you’re gonna say? RZ: Yes I am. Women are the cause of war. Hoarding and materialism are the causes of war and women are the main perpetrators of hoarding and materialism. Mix a teaspoon of fear into that mental soup and it’s time to gas up the Humvees and arm the cruise missiles. America’s wars are fought to propel corporate expansion overseas, and what are the corps after? Raw materials to make more things for women to buy. More gas for their cars, more plastics for their homes, more clothes, more shoes, more cosmetics. Feminism started out as a noble attempt to uncouple women from their primary designation as consumers. But - another unintended consequence - it just gave free rein to their cravings. It just made everything worse. The insecurities and cravings of women are the root cause of war. Women don’t like war, but they sure like owning their own cars and houses and dishwashers. Their professed distaste for war is a mental disconnect. A laudable opinion divorced from the consequences of their actions. They actually believe that holding an opinion about something is the same as DOING something about it. Cultural schizophrenia. Creeping Femaleness. DB: Everything is backwards. RZ: That’s what I’m telling you. By simply doing the research that no one else had bothered to do, I concluded that almost everything we have been taught about the genders is completely backwards. No wonder we’re so confused. Some guys have told me that every man alive should read this book. The data I stumbled upon turns everything we’ve been taught upside down, and thereby comes out making almost perfect sense. Because, when you think about it, nothing we’ve been taught about gender relations makes any sense at all. So when you turn it all upside down there is a pretty good chance something is going to make sense. It’s probably a mathematical thing I don’t understand. DB: You’re a Luddite? You hate science? RZ: Au contraire. I am a big fan of trying to understand particle physics. Do you realize that if you take one particle and accelerate it to the speed of light it exists in all times in all places? I can’t think of a better metaphor for God. But I do think all the current emphasis on science and technology has rotted our souls. There’s nothing I would rather do than cook a freshly caught fish on an open fire. It keeps me in touch with the Source of things. Of course, I am completely addicted to computers. DB: To what extent do you think that men should relax, and 'go their own way', or alternatively engage the matriarchy and actively fight it? In other words: is living well the best revenge, or do we have a responsibility to work to change society? RZ: Part of my formula for “living well” is propagating truth. The thing to remember is that confronting the matriarchy can be lots of fun. Ten years ago I held “Take Back the Penis” rallies across the USA and Canada. We laughed till our bellies hurt and got a lot of press for men’s issues. We handed out cucumbers to giggling women. Japanese tourists took pictures of us. In Cambridge, Massachusetts a hooker stood alongside us reading our literature between romps with Harvard students who picked her up in their sports cars. And in San Francisco the police assigned a special unit to protect us from “them” - meaning the Lesbian Avengers. Lots of fun. Fathers4Justice have revved up that Abbie Hoffman-style of circus-protest and they are having a huge impact on father’s issues in the UK. Sitting at computers commiserating with like-minded souls cannot compare with the sheer joy of taking this stuff to the streets. That said, I have to mention an important thing. Instead of supporting the Penis rallies most Fathers Groups denigrated us for being too radical. What they refused to accept is that we are facing a Systemic Problem - the feminization of our entire society. The Fathers think that by tweaking a law or two in Family Court it’s all going to come out right. It never has. Because there is a huge female boot print on the court system - and the schools and the media and the politicians. By trying to play a cutesy political game, by saying, “We don’t oppose feminism, we just want to see our kids”, they shot themselves in the foot. It’s only by confronting the entire matriarchal edifice that something can be shaken loose, and then, I believe, all the derivative issues will right themselves quite quickly. Private Lyndie England and Condoleeza Rice have done more for men’s issues than we ever could have achieved ourselves. No, women are NOT morally superior to men. I get fan mail from female readers who are slogging through my book when suddenly, inside their heads, the light goes on. All of a sudden they get the WHOLE thing. They realize they were raised in a society that taught them to mistrust and demonize men. They are stuck in a rotten marriage. So they try, just for a few days, to defer to their husband, instead of constantly bickering with him. They discuss family decisions together, but he gets the final say. And HE thereby assumes full responsibility for his decision. If something goes wrong it IS his fault. She’s FREE! Which is just what she wants. The burden of worrying about everything is removed from her and suddenly, magically, her marriage becomes delightful. Her husband thrives in the glow of this newfound respect and he behaves more responsibly than she could ever have forced him to behave in 20 years of criticism and abuse. It’s a wonderful thing. Hearing those stories are the big payoff for my work. |
