Women Are Not Men
30th May 2026
John C. Wright explains it all to you.
And now, a word from the Patriarchy:
In all of life, men go out into the wilderness, fight and built, and found a new settlement. This can be either literal wilderness or figurative. Starting a business, starting a political movement, springs from a similar male conquering impulse.
Then women and old men come into the frontier, after it is conquered and safe, and they make it nice and civilized and set up lace curtains in the windows, doilies on the chairs, flower gardens.
The woman and old men move into the settlement, built a church, start a school, elect a sheriff, close the opium dens and gambling dives, drive away the saloon girls, streetwalkers, and the roughnecks, and make the streets safe for women and children to walk at night.
In business, unfortunately, this means women flock to the HR department and try to make the competitive dog-eat-dog atmosphere of capitalism into something socialist, childproof, and sterile, and safe.
And in entertainment, the female impulse is to prevent entertainment, sex and violence, at all costs, but instead to use stories teach and lecture, as every mother must to do to every small child.
And when this happens, the men, sick of being stifled, move onto a new wilderness, a new business, a new venture. There is no female Elon Must in all of history, no female Einstein, no female Thomas Edison, or Thomas Aquinas, nor Christopher Columbus, Alexander the Great, Richard the Lionheart or Sir Edmund Hillary.
