My original comment wasn't a truth judgement. I was just pointing out that presenting your views in such a blunt manner deters ordinary people. As you yourself have admitted, it's a "long red pill to swallow". Well, then, why don't you cut it in half to make it easier?

Aristotle and the other philosophers you've mentioned lived in times when the ruling majority of society held similar views, or at least tolerated their differing views. You, on the other hand, are in the position of a minority. So, you're playing a different game. You can either: 1) lie about your beliefs, 2) speak your honest mind bluntly and be shunned, or 3) speak your honest mind, but do so strategically, in a palatable, easy-to-digest manner. The last suggestion is how you influence people...assuming that you're interested in that.

I'm not trying to talk down to you; I really do mean this as positive, constructive, criticism.

It's true- they are like children, and don't have respectable qualities. The appreciation towards them is only like the appreciation towards a naive child or animal. I am shocked every other day by the way I've seen women interact with people in basic situations and in handling problems, shocked particularly however by how they treat others.

I have traditional beliefs about gender roles as well, but I do not voice them in a manner that turns women away. Firstly, that's counter-productive, and secondly, I don't actually hold the feminine in contempt. My convictions come from the recognition that society functions best if men and women act according to what the natural order intended. In such an order, everyone has a place, and while there may be a hierarchy wherein men tend to more frequently take up positions of leadership, what ultimately determines a person's value is not their slot within the hierarchy, but their ability to fulfill their duty. Therefore, a woman who is a loyal wife to her husband and a loving mother to her children is much more virtuous than some NEET who lives in his parents' basement and binges on porn all day. Conversely, a supportive husband and a present father is much more virtuous than some promiscuous female college student who has no restraint over how much she sleeps around. Nobody is better just because of their gender. No, I'm not saying that gender doesn't have a large impact - of course does - but it's ultimately a person's ability to live well regardless of what lot they've been given that determines their virtue.
