In the Patriarchy, dominant male preserves are jealously guarded from unwelcome interlopers …
〰 ⚤ 〰
… from minorities …

… and from women.

Category: Logical Phallusies
| Logical Fallacy | An error in reasoning which may sound legitimate but is in reality absolute nonsense. When it is deliberate, so that the error sounds like truth, it is generally accompanied by big words and appeals to “our” history, “our” traditions, “our” sacred blah, blah, blahs. Often it is embroidered with out-of-context, and even deliberately misquoted, statements and then further decorated with irrelevant points. Logical fallacies are used intentionally to manipulate others into thinking, acting, or behaving in a certain way – usually in deference to the superior wisdom of the person/entity engaging in the fallacious reasoning. |
| + Casuistry | The use of clever but unsound reasoning; subtle but specious arguments designed to trick people. Chicanery, deception, sharp practice, underhandedness, dupery, craftiness, guile. |
| + Nonsense | Words with no sense or meaning. Absurd, fatuous, baloney, bunk, drivel, trifling and of little use. |
| + Phallus | Penis |
| = Logical Phallusies | The deliberate use of errors in reasoning, casuistry, and nonsense to keep the Dominant Male Group (DMG) dominant. |
The Dominant Male Group (DMG) has relied on logical phallusies for millennia to keep women, people of colour, and minorities in their rightful place – under the DMG’s thumb.
To maintain the status quo, which favours their position of power, any lie, any torturing of logic, any obfuscation, any manipulation by the DMG is justified to “prove” the inferiority of Others: That they are lesser beings with limited intellectual capacity, that it is natural for them to occupy a subordinate position and to serve the DMG, that they are incapable of occupying positions of authority, that they cannot be educated, that they cannot/should not compete with the DMG, and that they deserve to be “enslaved” or if perceived as a threat, “eliminated”.
The writings of the Doctors of the Church, the Nazis, and the Klan are excellent places to look for outstanding examples of this kind of unreasoning reasoning, this illogical logic, this idiotic use of language to control those deemed by the DMG to be less than human, incapable of making their own decisions, and who need to know their place – that place, of course, being defined by the DMG.

Never Quite Good Enough
A social system in which:
〰 ⚤ 〰
Females, no matter how intelligent, attractive, or desirable, are brainwashed into seeing themselves as dumpy, dumb, and undesirable, in need of a new haircut, different make-up, a more effective diet, a better perfume, a new outfit, or even surgery …
〰 ⚤ 〰
Males, no matter how unintelligent, unattractive, or undesirable, are empowered to see themselves as captivating, clever, and charming, in need of nothing.
A patriarchal society relentlessly fetishizes chastity, virginity and fidelity.
〰 ⚤ 〰
xx Men mouth their loyalty to these virtues.
〰 ⚤ 〰
Women are expected to live them.

Bad Dog – Errrr, Woman
If you could ask the dog in a loving household, it’d probably tell you how wonderful it is to have a master.
Ditto for traditional wives who have swallowed Patriarchal values.
〰 ⚤ 〰
How often have we heard some woman who hit it lucky in the marriage lottery, telling us of her benevolent husband, how wonderful life in confinement is, how safe and protected she feels, that having to ask for male permission for even the simplest of activities is not a burden, that being without equal rights is no handicap for her, and how satisfying it is for her to be a chattel.
〰 ⚤ 〰
Dogs do not cry for one of their species trapped in the brutal hands of an abuser.
Ditto for traditional wives brainwashed by Patriarchal values. They too rarely express sympathy for their sisters caught in abusive, violent marriages.
Indeed, they often blame their abused sister for the attacks upon her body, mind and soul.
〰 ⚤ 〰
A willing slave is valuable to the Patriarchy because a willing slave always believes other slaves must be responsible for their own plight.
〰 ⚤ 〰
Bad dog – errrr, woman – she had it coming to her.

Dogs And Women – Mirror Images
Dogs & Women:
Under the Patriarchy, historically, we have shared so much.
〰 ⚤ 〰
The Master owns them. He may punish them, strike them, abuse them, kill them, give them away, shackle them, or cage them at will.
〰 ⚤ 〰
And who dares question his right to do so?

Dogs And Women As Equals
Historically, under the Patriarchy, women and dogs have shared so much in common.
〰 ⚤ 〰
They may be a much loved and spoiled member of the family, but who would ever dream of according them equal status?
〰 ⚤ 〰
And, yes, the odd man may provide them with unusual liberty, or praise their intelligence.
〰 ⚤ 〰
The Patriarchy holds such a man to be a fool.

Female Abuse As Entertainment
In the Patriarchy, female abuse goes beyond power.
It’s sports! It’s showbiz!
〰 ⚤ 〰
In India, lower caste women are groped, raped, and paraded naked in the streets.
〰 ⚤ 〰
In the Middle East, women are publicly stoned to death in sports arenas.
〰 ⚤ 〰
All over the world, little girls are used for sexual entertainment in porn movies, strip clubs, and brothels.
〰 ⚤ 〰
In many countries, if a woman walks by herself, unprotected by a male, even to get water for her family, then she may be fondled, harassed, or violated by any passing man.
〰 ⚤ 〰
Perhaps there ARE worse things than feminism …
Never leave your home unaccompanied by a male. Even if widowed, starve rather than work. Cover yourself completely; let not a stray hair show, nor an ankle, or a wrist. Walk so quietly that no male is disturbed by the sound of your sandals. Be noiselessly invisible, though you are made of matter.
〰 ⚤ 〰
Limit daily life to a space so tiny that any person, male or female, would suffocate. (Imagine being confined to COVID 19 quarantine for the rest of your life – that’s what purdah is.)
〰 ⚤ 〰
Patriarchal logic:
Set a standard few human beings could keep.
Abuse, beat, imprison, rape, or kill her if she fails to conform.
Please note….
“Purdah” is derived from a Persian word. It refers to the custom of “concealing” females behind walls, or a veil/curtain, which is practiced throughout the Middle East. Next the headscarf is used by the majority of women in most Middle Eastern communities – be they Muslim, Christian, or of any other faith. Even Western women visiting these countries may be required to wear one. That is the reason for the picture to accompany the text.
Next, read the first slide very carefully – those restrictions have been historically used in EVERY patriarchal community, globally. This is NOT a statement about any particular faith – it IS a statement about patriarchal beliefs, which cross all cultures, religions and nations, and how they limit the abilities of women to function like free human beings, regardless of race, colour, religious belief, or national origin.
If you have been reading our cartoons, you know we have been discussing patriarchal behaviours throughout history and across all cultures. Prior cartoons have referred to the Middle East and the headscarf. For example:
No one wrote to us saying we were being discriminatory for these depictions.
Many of our cartoons have used, without comment, other identifiable minorities as part of the message being shared, which is that we are against oppression, prejudice, and bigotry; we are for justice, equality, and fairness.
So, we would appreciate it if you would think before you pull the trigger on us with some accusation of bias towards any particular group.

The Sex Is Better!
Men should be flocking to feminism …
〰 ⚤ 〰
Male dominated societies report the LOWEST levels of male sexual satisfaction.
〰 ⚤ 〰
These societies revile pleasure as SINFUL.
〰 ⚤ 〰
They separate male from female, keeping them ignorant of sex, and of how to pleasure each other.
〰 ⚤ 〰
Studies show that sexual satisfaction for men is HIGHEST in those societies where feminist values are strongest, in those which value gender equality the GREATEST.
〰 ⚤ 〰
Men experience the GREATEST sexual fulfillment in the bedroom when women experience the GREATEST fulfillment outside of it.

We Told You So … Last Sunday!
We recently shared some stats that demonstrate what happens when women are allowed a seat at the table. Here’s a perfect example of what we’re trying to say …
What do all these countries and their leaders have in common?
〰 ⚤ 〰
These are the countries whose leaders most badly managed the corona virus.
〰 ⚤ 〰
The countries that are recognized as having managed the crisis best are Germany, Taiwan, New Zealand, Iceland, Finland, Norway and Denmark.
Here are the photos of their leaders:
