This is precisely my perspective on Smith's work and on the MRM generally. Equality is the status that comes right before death. Society was built by hierarchies of men willing to make sacrifices. The productive interaction between the sexes will come back when women get pushed back into admitting an economic dependency on men.

MRAs are definitely NOT on team civilisation; it's one of the main reasons I left the camp. They're merely an extension of the cultural marxist Hegelian Dialectic that's been practised on the family; the ultimate goal is complete state control of the family, which we're seeing now in Canada and Germany with the establishment of state-appointed social workers as guardians for children, in the former case for those going through divorces to ensure "fairness". The MRAs are begging pimp daddy G for "equality", which will merely serve to extend state power.

Hawaiian Libertarian, Aurini and No-Ma'am have all expounded on this. The MRAs are useful idiots at best, dangerous at worst.

Now, the only way to fix things is the complete collapse of society. Too far step'ped in blood and all that. Happened before, shall happen again.

In reply to Unknown. Hey Bob, welcome back, it's been a while. Yes that was my version of British understatement. As you'll see, later on in the same review I point out that the reason we have civilisation in the first place is because of men. Haven't read that particular book by Charles Murray. He's a good writer- Losing Ground was quite good, I thought- but it seems to me like he pulls his punches a bit when confronted with certain very unpleasant conclusions. I'll give that book a shot at some point.

"bit of a necessity"

I take issue with that. Men are absolutely necessary to society, since we created everything.

I like to quote P.J. O'Rourke comment: "Without men civilization would last until the next oil change." Camille Paglia was a bit more precise: without men, women would be living in grass huts.

If you haven't read Charles Murray's "Human Accomplishment," you should give it a shot. I consider it essential.
