Most of us most of the time are far from pragmatic. Wishful thinking, sprinkles and unicorns fantasies, every twisted sick depraved turn down the looking glass removes us so far from reality it makes me want to vomit blood and soil my trousers. Of course it was only obvious in hindsight that the abundant free flowing oil allowed us to flip off Darwin’s ghost, thumb our noses at common sense and strip the entire globe like locusts supporting mouth breathers and other banjo players that polluted the remaining devastated landscape with their ideas based on logic so convoluted that only the darkest acid trip came close in structure. Things like FemiNazi Think and Tree Hugger Wet Dreams. We send mothers into combat, try to rescue fat apartment dwellers overcome with smoke inhalation with females lacking upper body strength, legislate clean diesel with less BTU at a time when oil imports are down 20%, getting clean energy by wasting half our corn crop turning it to ethanol and so many other examples of utter stupidity that I can’t list them all for fear of killing myself from an aneurysm. Back in the day, when there wasn’t a vast welfare state waiting and able to pick up the moronic crack smoking boneheads and coddle them and reward their stupidity, folks were much more pragmatic. They knew the reward for deviating from paranoia over their surroundings was usually death.

I started to read a book on Ghengis Khan by Jack Weatherford and as he is an anthropologists, it makes for some fascinating reading on the realities of steppe life. For instance, there was always a bride price. Now, FemiNazi bitches be all, Lord Sakes All Mighty Lord Jesus! The oppressive Penile Powers are buying women as if they are chattel!!!! They start getting themselves in a holy uproar and I have to listen to that kind of crap. If they tried to shove aside all that emotion and tried out a small slice of logic as an appetizer, unlike the time they go to “just eat one” piece out of the Colonels bucket and can’t stop eating which explains why their thighs look all dimpled and nasty, they would realize that “selling” a bride actually helps out the female. If males hunt and protect, thus feeding a family, you would see an unnatural selection towards males. Female infanticide would be epidemic such as in China today. If a female paid her way, as it were, she would then become a reward instead of a liability. Plus, by demonstrating that he was able to provide, a male assures the brides family that he can provide a secure future for her and the grandkids. The expensive ring used to have this role, as the man had to work damn hard at getting enough saved for it. Today, that is just a sick farce, proving nothing.

If the Mongol male couldn’t afford the bride price of horses ( the premiere form of wealth ) he could work for the brides family for a number of years. This had the effect of allowing the lower classes economically to still be eligible for the gene pool. Anyone could indenture themselves into a wife and family unit. Hard work actually paid. This was a safety valve. Now, here is a tasty tidbit that I’m going to throw in to really piss off the fems. Child brides. Oh, I can just hear them printing posters and rallying for a march to Washington. Stupid bitches. The practice was that a young couple was chaperoned and eventually, at the wife-to-be’s discretion, she initiated the sexual union. Ask almost any male, and the first time we get sex, we imprint like a young duck to a ping-pong ball ( the famous study that the bird would identify ANYTHING, even a ping-pong ball, as its mother at birth ). This would create a much stronger marriage, to the benefit of both parties. Bitches be so focused on hunting any and all examples of supposed female cruelty that they refuse to stop and think of the practical necessities that helped females even if it hurt their feelings or was a bit difficult. Oooooh!!!! Having more than one wife!!! How chauvinistically oppressive and foul!!! Let’s say wife #1 had no ability to conceive. The bitch be barren. So hubby, out of the goodness of his heart because this gal still keeps eating even though she can’t pop out any little Mongol dudes, still keeps her around the old yurt but also takes another wife. Who is losing here? Or, there be a war widow with kids. No one is providing for her. The dead husbands family won’t take them in as there is not enough food coming in. So a rich guy with another wife or three marries her. She won’t die now, her kids get to live, yet polygamy is painted as evil. Oh, the poor oppressed females. Boo friggin hoo.

*

Come the collapse at the end of the Oil Age, we shall return very quickly to a Pragmatic Only existence. You can’t predict exactly how this might turn out, as circumstances differ, as will the pragmatic solutions to them. For instance, the Comanche only later adopted polygamy after their trade started involving buffalo hides ( the women processed the hides. More wives, more hides, more money and trade goods came in, more women got to eat, even if the work was long and hard ). We are so blinded by oil wealth that we can’t see that in the past ( as in the future ), just the fact that you got to eat was reward and payment enough for 99% of folks. And if you think about it, that is not too far removed from what we get now. We have much more comfortable surroundings, and have zero physical labor ( any survivalist article on exercise to get fit for the apocalypse should have the obvious message that you are a stupid hump if you need to read it. Sell your damn car and ride a bike everywhere. You will be in shape and richer ), but after the tax man comeith ( to include ex-wife tax ), we aren’t doing too much more than working to eat and entertain ourselves. So why all the moaning about the luxury-less future? But I won’t get started on that. Peace, fems. It will all actually work out to your advantage.

not sure how to reply to this. I am female, but actually understand and sort of agree with you. We are so far removed from how things worked that it isn't funny. I am far from being a traditionalist, actually a bit of a feminist...if it works, be it woman working and man at home or man working and woman at home then so be it. If it works to have 3 wives, so be it...although I never see the harm in 3 husbands (lol). IF society and the country collapse, I think folks will find out real quick why some things worked. Family kids and survival requires thinking outside of today's "box".

Today I queried Felix Wong his opinion of the airfree tires he installed on his bicycle in Dec 2006, and what damage the tires have caused to his bike.

"...females lacking upper body strength..." That hits home. I love my daughters and want them to have every job op but not as combat grunts, fire fighters, police, etc. Until very recently I was a reserve deputy sheriff. I was always disappointed to see that my back-up in some melee or disaster situation was a female. I'm a little old 5'8" man but I can out lift, out last , out fight any female deputy I have ever met. Upper body strength, dirty fighting instincts and testosterone I suppose. My step son is one of the moronic crackheads that the state gives $1,100 per mo cuz he disabled his mind with drugs. TEOTWAWKI should settle his hash. They all disgust me. I await the coming pragmatism.S.D.

The dowry worked out well for everyone. It made sure the father had an interest in keeping his daughter for her future husband rather than just not giving a damn. As you said it helped ensure the future husband could support a family economically. The woman had more assurance that this man is actually interested in a committed relationship since he had to work and pay for it.

I worked in Africa for a little while. The Africans had the dowry system there and the women wore a coin-like piece of metal on their heads to indicate that the dowry had been paid. Even on young girls - maybe 10 years old. They weren't married yet but a clear indicator to everyone else that they were off limits and if you messed with her, the husband-to-be's entire family would deal with you.

Hey Jim

Off topic question. With all your experience bike riding, what would be the most you would advise using a bike to go to work? One way.

656-after about one hour, the cold in winter starts to get too much for my hands and feet.

I agree with you both (Lord Bison and HerbalPagan). As a (non religious) conservative woman, I shudder at what young women today consider to be their "role" in life. They continue the downward spiral, degrading their naturally appointed purpose (to be caregivers of the young) by trying to become something they will never be - men.

It seems to be that the Mongols, rather than "selling women as chattel" held females in higher esteem than we do today. What do men today have to sacrifice in order to become a husband? Also, consider the great reduction of dead beat dads if they had to fork over a hefty portion of their wealth in order to become one in the first place.

As to the "multiple wife" scenario - we have no idea how grueling the work load was in order to survive in such a time. The "first" wives were probably glad to have the help!
