This tweet is correct. Most of a woman’s anxiety stems from uncertainty about the future. Marriage to a good man and a baby serve as anchoring forces in her life that resolve the hysteria. Carl Jung and many others write extensively about this.
Women who are not yet married don’t want to hear that the solution is simple (not easy! but simple) The greater one suffers, the more complex a cure one wishes to find as if to match the intensity of the suffering.
Notice that @FlorioGina never mentioned in her tweet that the solution was by any means *easy*. Finding a good man to marry is difficult and many women screw it up. Nevertheless, if a woman manages to accomplish this and she can have a baby, her anxiety largely does goes away.
This is because the woman is chaotic in temperament and requires a balance of her energy with some masculine order. The mere presence of a good man can calm a woman down regardless the intensity of the problem. To reject the existence of this energetic balance is foolish
A lot of these milquetoast centrists believe that centrism is good simple because it’s at the physical centre of the Overton window. But if the Overton window is all the way out on Mars, then the right idea IS OFTEN what looks like the “extreme and imbalanced” one.

Naturally curious people who actually like learning dont ask for book recommendations. They already have their own lists.
How do you develop your natural curiosity? Go to a second hand book store or a library and start pulling out random books that look interesting to you. Open them up in the middle and start reading. Get the ones that intrigue you and read those.
Read beautiful quotes and pithy lines here and there when you’re reading articles of scrolling the internet and have the perspicacity to look up the book and order it for yourself. This is how you develop your own intellectual interests.
These are second rate Bouguereau copies. I’ve done this as a hobby too. But notice how they look like cartoons rather than masterful art. Why? Because you don’t learn to paint by copying. You learn through colour theory: learning to build tones and hierarchy of light.
Compare them to trained artists like Ksenya Istomina who trained in Saint Petersburg and the original painting by Bouguereau (right). There is a sincerity in the colours that can only come from studying and painting from LIFE and not from copying from photographs.
I love to encourage people who strive for any kind of excellent and worthy endeavour. But when it comes to the arts, the degradation of the field is so dire that it is now more important than ever to be direct and clear when discerning the good from the bad.
Feminism thrives on the myth that before feminism women were not allowed to work, speak or have intellectual lives independent of men. Studying history even a little will reveal how untrue this is. Women have always done these things. They didn’t need feminism for it.
Feminism also thrives on the caricature of “traditional femininity” that women are meek and quiet creatures who hide away in the house never to do anything more than the most basic domestic tasks. They rely on people who have never studied any history.
“Traditional femininity” can be very toxic. Vanity, pride and emotional volatility are all traditionally feminine qualities. And all of the worst feminists have these qualities. Feminism doesn’t turn women into men, it encourages them to indulge in their worst vices.
As a lion cub plays at hunting, as a little boy plays at fighting wars and building structures, so a little girl plays at house. She looks after her baby dolls and sets up their doll house with an adorable innocence untainted by the politics of adult culture.
As we grow up, we must strive to preserve that innocent play with which children live. We did not hurry to get things done, nor did we worry we could not do them well. We did not look for the bottom line and we did not compete. We simply enjoyed living our nature.
What did you play with as a child? I had notebooks I pretended to write in. I drew pictures, wrote stories and stapled them together to make “books”. I had Barbie dolls that I loved to dress up. I had a baby doll I pretended to feed, play with and teach school and tuck into bed.
The layout of the modern society is such that it encourages the most toxic qualities of feminine nature to flourish. The greatest asset for the modern person is his/her reputation, and social network. The toxic feminine leverages this to coerce and threaten others to get her way.
The most toxic men today, behave and use toxic femininity. This presents as the gay or the androgynous man who uses passive aggression and virtue signalling to cause damage and harm. A great example is Mr. Justin Trudeau.
Medieval Italy as a society encouraged toxic masculine qualities. These work in the realm of the physical world, not the social. It wasn’t the gay man and the woman who caused problems, it was the brute who pillaged and physically terrorized innocents just because he could.
Those who are captured by modern leftism (Marxism), are most angry at the concept of being a “high value” person, because it indicates the presence of natural hierarchy. Everyone does not have equal value. And what’s worse, your value is in your control to a great degree!
People who want to be applauded for their mediocrity and laziness are most susceptible to Marxism (leftism). It has always been so. These tend to be women because women are most susceptible to social punishments and thus least likely to dissent with the mainstream philosophy
The women who are not captured by leftist/Marxist rarely ever reveal this because it exposes them to social punishments from other women. A woman therefore needs to be both highly intelligent and highly immune to female interpersonal punishments to speak her mind against leftism.
