  • On the contrary, their morals are very foundational; and they’d often rather die than deviate from them. It’s just that they know their actual morals are reprehensible, so they claim different morals as the winds blow to hide the truth.

    Which is, simply, to have an in-group that the law protects but does not bind, and an out-group the law binds but does not protect, and then to plop themselves firmly in the first group and as many people as they can get away with in the second.

    They’re fine having some people in the in-group with them, as long as those people think, look, and act like they do; anyone else is a dangerous ‘other’ that must be dumped into the second group immediately.










  • Some people hate their own agency. They want to be told what to do by a ‘higher power’, whether that’s God, men, a cult leader… that way they can safely say nothing in life is their fault.

    It’s the adult version of wrapping themselves in a blanket because they’re scared of something. That something being their own choices, or worse, random chance, leading them to fail.

    But those who desire control often desire both to be subject to it and to exert it over others. So a hierarchy forms. Men tell those women what to do, and in turn they tell those lower on the ‘ladder’ (younger women, children, and in their ideal world ‘others’ like PoC) what to do. Thus everything in their life is controlled, and they feel safe. And they get to have a little power of their own, again without real responsibility, because they’re just underlings for someone ‘higher on the ladder’.
