How it turned from a movement trying to correct the excesses of established power - like Marxism from where it sprang - into a postmodern movement attempting to eliminate masculinity, or feminize it in accordance with postmodern values.
Let’s begin with Paternalism
A method of harnessing human sexuality to group welfare by restricting female and male natural promiscuity.
The female being in control of the ovum was the crucial sex to discipline so as to then integrate as many males into the system as possible, viz., make them invested in the welfare of the group.
In primate social structures, e.g., chimpanzee, the beta male secretly mates with the female, under the dominance of a alpha male, so as to serve as the female’s aid in her inter-group conflicts and to aid her when she is weening an offspring.
In recompense for his services the female gives him sex, which may produce an offspring, by hiding from the dominant male who would step in and stop it - punishing both for their indiscretions.
We see something similar in human social systems only adjusted, in modern times, to the fact that the position of dominant, alpha, sit a monopolizing abstraction, with no sexual needs, i.e., the institution, the state.
As such the relationships have to be adjusted to this decisive factor.
First, the dominant masculine entity is not biological so it can be represented by any individual, i.e., male/female, adult/child.
Second, it has no genes to pass-on, but it does have memes instead, so it needs biological males to stand-in as biological sperm donors.
Third, this replacement of genes by memes means the state/institution, owns the offspring fathered by biological males and expects both parents to raise them in accordance to tis ideals, values and principles - memes.
Fourth, the role of protector and provider falls to the institution/state, relegating biological males into the role of surrogate maternal agencies.
Fifth, biological males that insist on passing on memes to the offspring that contradict the institutional/state memes are disruptive, ergo family is more antagonistic to institutional/state power if the male exhibits any masculine traits, such as those challenging authority and order.
Sixth, all of the above are more important when dealing with racially, ethnically, culturally heterogenous social systems, and less so when dealing with homogenous social systems such as those of the past where the king, leader, was of the same culture and blood as all the males under his command.
Seventh, we see that in heterogenous systems nihilism is employed to harmonize/stabilize the disharmonious by imposing values and principles that nullify all forms of natural identifiers. Reinventing the family is part of this process.
Eight, to deal with all these free-radical, un-invested males, the system promotes hedonism, distractions, pornography, essentially placating and sublimating masculine sexual energies into non-disruptive forms.
Ninth, promoting femininity as the socially acceptable ideal, further emasculates - feminizes - males converting them to manageable sexual energy.
Social engineering, or social castration.
Circumcision is a form of symbolic castration, but lobotomizing males by compartmentalizing their consciousness, is another method - schizoids. A method of simultaneously holding two incompatible, contradictory views in your mind without any issues - mind/body dissonance.
I’ll stop here.
