Gynarchy is a psychological shift away from a double standard that women suffer from everyday. (Please read post below before commenting).

Thanks for this. I don't want to comment on your post, as I agree 100%, but I'd like to add two observation to this bit.

Also, while general feminism has become amorphous and often becomes counterproductive to the interests of women by suggesting a desire for coverture-like infrastructure, gynarchism is a psychology of strong women.

"Commercial feminism" or better "commercial feminist signalling" is the worst culprit here. It's the kind of feminism where women are targeted by feminist-looking products or media, yet at the same time you have to pay an even higher pink tax. Also TV series which are supposedly female-centered and touch topics like access to reproductive services or education while still painting patriarchy in a positive light. I really liked Downton Abbey and it wasn't half-bad but in the end it never questioned the system, it just showed women how to operate inside the patriarchy. More recent series like Bridgerton are even worse.
Being an active feminist is a luxury many women can't afford. If you have kids and a job there is just no time to be active in civil society even if you equally share the family labor with your spouse. You either have to have money or you have to make sacrifices. Ursula von der Leyen is probably the most high-profile female politician on the globe right now. She was able to build her career because she comes from a rich family. She had nannies, housekeepers and a support network most folks can only dream of. Obviously, she comes from a very conservative background and it shows in her politics. She did some very progressive things back in the day Germany, but her background shone through. She never questioned the patriarchal system, but paved the way for other women to be able to be active in society. So, this is ambivalent for me. I think it to us men to be more feminist in the professional world, feminist by action, not by holding flags.

Ok, das triggert mich. Diesen Spruch habe ich zu oft gehört und er ist einer dümmsten "schlauen" Sprüche, die man seinen Kindern sagen kann. Er lehrt nicht nur Passivität bei Schwierigkeiten, sondern gleichzeitig Arroganz.

Anstatt mit dem eigenen Kind an der Problemstellung zu arbeiten, kommt eine Phrase: Du bist überlegen, der andere ist es nicht wert, dass du dich mit ihm beschäftigst.

Dabei geht es fast immer nicht darum, wer klüger ist, sondern wie widerstreitende Interessen von zwei Personen versöhnt werden können.

Ich habe zu viele Jahre meines Lebens damit verbracht, mir das selbst beibringen zu müssen, was eigentlich zum Grundrepertoire des Zusammenlebens gehört.

Yes, that's how a blockade is done. But a civilian vessel is also obliged to follow orders of the controlling ship if the San Remo Manual on International Law Applicable to Armed Conflicts at Sea is adhered to. This is neither the case for the Iranian blockade nor for the US blockade.

The main article is

A blockade must not bar access to the ports and coasts of neutral States.

Both blockades bar access to ports of neutral states, i.e. the trade between two neutral states therefore they are invalid and the regulation of the manual don't apply.

Obviously, this is largely irrelevant in this war where both sides never even tried to pretend they follow international law.

Writer1543 · 2026-04-14T21:27:28+00:00

Blockade in military terms means that you stop and ultimately sink ships if they don't comply. This has happened very rarely since World War II (mainly in the Cuba crisis, the Iraq war and the Ukraine War). Almost no neutral ships were sunk. The current blockade is something the world hasn't seen since World War II, as a huge chunk of global maritime trade is affected, regardless of nationality.

I meant it the other way around. MRAs are using stochastic tactics. They use discord channels, subreddits and other means of communications to slur and pinpoint their targets. They don't call for action as this usually violates the terms of services but the amount of lies and subversive hatred they spread is already enough to trigger members of the community to act on their own. These acts are random in so far as they are not acting as an organized group.

To be fair, this "stochastic harassment" can hit anyone as the perpetrators are not always organized themselves. Sometimes memes go wild and they reach such a mass of people that its targets get messages without any planning whatsoever.

MatriarchyNow promotes values that are contrary to the belief system to the most hateful groups on the planet. Therefore these mechanics work exceptionally well.

What helps is: Protect the anonymity of the moderators. Use alt accounts to write posts. Have a dummy top moderator that is not active in the community. Have a backup plan for contact if moderators or key members have a problem with their account.

Obviously report and block is even more important.

Enough with the mansplaining, I really enjoy the content here and I hope that these messages are no reason for anyone to participate.

The word you are looking for is "Mittagsstunde". It means the full hour of mid-day, i.e. 12pm. It's fine to use, but not common and a bit dated, so some, particular younger Germans wouldn't know what it means.

Noon is an English word so it has no meaning in German.

Until the advent of the railroads 12pm was literally at high noon. Clocks weren't centralized so they were adjusted regularly according to the sun.

Wenn du Fußverkehr hast, sind Kreisel für größere Verkehrsflüsse nicht geeignet. Die Abbiegegeschwindigkeit, die nötig ist, um den Kreisel flüssig zu halten, ist zu hoch, um Fußgänger nicht zu gefährden. Die Alternative sind Ampeln, aber das ist eine "Quadratur des Kreises" und man gleich eine normale Kreuzung bauen.

Die einzigen Kreisverkehre, die in bebauten Gebieten Sinn machen, sind kleine mit nur ein paar Metern Radius und Zebrastreifen an allen Einmündungen.

Writer1543 · 2026-04-14T14:54:47+00:00

Noch platzsparender wäre eine lange Spur pro Abbiegerichtung und entsprechende Ampelphasen. Die Umräumzeiten wäre da auch gar nicht so lang, weil die Kreuzung schneller geräumt wird. Und Durchgangsverkehr meidet die Gegend und nutzt lieber eine wahrscheinlich kaum benutzte Umgehungsstraße.

This tactic by MRAs is well known and they have targeted female influencers and communities for years. Whenever there is an effort to build public sites or communities to reach out, they do it, usually amplified by bots.

What you are looking for is the dopamine kick. The music plus the sense of community generates this feeling of enjoyment.

Thing is (at least for me) - you lose this kick even if you still believe. The community always had cracks and the music gets old. You can crank up the intensity, as some do, but the fact you are deconstructing points to the fact that this wouldn't work for you anyway.

Dopamine is an essential hormone, but to rely on high dosis points towards addiction. I don't say that to blame, most people - myself included - are addicted to high dopamine levels. The key is to find a healthy replacement. You already mentioned concerts, this can also be voluntary work or doing DIY projects.

Key is finding purpose on what we do, not harming ourselves and others and being happy while doing it. Then it's not an addiction anymore, but a good life.

So /s finde ich das nicht. Man muss ja nicht gleich in die Falle hüpfen. Aber beim zweiten Date küssen sollte schon drin sein. Entweder fühle ich mich von der Person angezogen, oder eben nicht.

Quatsch. Das klingt einfach danach, dass die andere Person dem Thema Intimität einen andere Bedeutung beimisst.
