week 8 dq

These subjects are interesting but there is a problem. I had the flu so hard for a month that during a 3 or 4 day stretch about 2 weeks ago, my wife and I debated whether or not I needed a hospital. Ultimately we decided that staying home and just adding salt to my water in the proper proportions equivalent to a banana bag would suffice. During that time I was just capable of answering the questions in this class. But now I am back, brain works, body is not fighting me anymore, I am almost 100%.

However what I thought was the flu but the MD a few days ago told me it was likely the flu; a prearranged appointment which ironically was made 3 days before I became cannot get out of bed sick. My being sick did bring up sexuality issues. I “toughed” it out in part because I am an intensely strong willed person; biologically male, but strength of character and will have less than zero to do with biology. Ask Margret Thatcher, Queen Elizabeth, etc. by 1000s of other iron willed females.

Another example for an iron willed female who had an issue with several violently patriarchal cultures. Elzbeth Bathoray, aka the Blood Countess, cousin of Prince Vlad Wallachia III. Vlad is intensely famous for a nickname the Ottoman Turks gave him to punish him for killing to many of their spy's in Wallachia. Which happens to be a small area inside the country of Transylvania. And now you know who Vlad’s propaganda names are. Yes, that Vlad.

Elzbeth ran into issues because she ran a Hospital in the former dungeon of several of her castles. She collected as many of age females within about 100 or so mile radius of her castles, and set her army to protect the girls at all costs. Which for armies which want to perform “unmentionable” acts this angers both the footman and the commanders. One of the ways they keep their infantry in check is to promise all the …. they can have, for given amounts of time. The … for adults can be imagined but not required to talk about academically. Hint is more than enough. Also 3 of her main accusers were men who owned her vast amounts of money. In return for their completely fictional testimony, they absorbed a large chunk her treasury and several of her Castles. So legally speaking there is less than zero reason they had to lie because they obviously did not steal tons and tons of gold from her or her lands, her castles, and gained access to the few “young girls” being kept in her hospital. Their was less than zero incentive for them to lie. Oh wait, I got that backwards their was less than zero reason for them to tell anything close to the truth. They lie and get rich and powerful. Having dozens if not 100s of 6-18 year old females who were suddenly “under their protection”.

This is the basis of Western Cultures perspective towards females. Males need to be strong and stoic, and females are to be cared for by good men. However the facts and the fictions are mostly very far apart. The worst part is, Sociopaths have less than no idea what truth is. Sociopaths are who the group tend to put in charge. So the unfeeling, unemotional, un caring people can make decisions which hurt small numbers of people but help the group overall. The group likes that dynamic, and if a few timid males and a few “unimportant” females get hurt in the process; society can rest assured that their things the leaders will not attack next.

Regarding the reading “Stereotypes”, is an apt decription but more than a little incorrect. Once an image is created in someone head of a thing, person, etc that image stays than way unless. What is missed in the article is why the image stays in the persons head. Half a sentence is about the culture forces its citizens to “stereotype” however that half a sentence is not followed up at all. The Author wonders into areas which are concetps post 1890 and have little if any impact on anyone not born in either western Europe or America. Forget species wide. We must not forget the Witch Bunring times 50-1700s ce. I adjusted to dates according to long and complex sequences of information. Removing the propaganda of the Romans trying desperately to hold onto power despite the fact the Empire was about to collapse shortly after the events of 30 ce. But that is an extremely long and complex story.

Sandra Bem’s gender schema theory (GST); it is an interesting theory. However it has limitations. As the description in the article provided, “it covers almost exclusively Americans”. Americans is a very specific type of culture, the built in rules regarding how Americans GS blinds the Western Cultures from seeing world cultures the way they are. The Article by Eagly backs up virtually every point minus the history information. Females have been all but left out, and when they are included in psychological studies it is from at times very inappropriate perspectives. If most of the participants in the study have a specific schema about females, than the study itself will be very bias. Gender Differences in Moral Orientation: A Meta-Analysis is a perfect example of assumptions creating the basis of a bias study. Assumptions which were proven incorrect by the end statistical results.
