My posting this does not imply that I agree with all the views expressed. However, our clusterfucked western society is not in any position to dictate its views to other cultures.
The
West: the most sexually
dysfunctional society on the
planet
The
West: the most sexually
12 November, 2014
The
blame probably should (yet again) go first to the Papacy with its
unhealthy repression of everything sexual, which itself originates in
a most unfortunate misunderstanding of the Christian dogma of the
primordial sin by Saint Augustine of Hippo who, at least, never
insisted that this interpretation was the correct one (traditional
Christianity does not believe that per
se sex
is bad, but only that it has to be appropriately channeled and
sublimated). Alas, his misguided views on this topic were
further picked up in a long series of sex-centered teachings,
practices and dogmas (celibacy for priests, condemnation of "the
flesh", "Immaculate Conceptions", etc.) and as a
result, these sexuality-repressing teachings
triggered a formidable backlash which began in the Renaissance and is
sill felt today.
The next group to make things worse were the Freemasons, the various revolutionary movements in Europe and, of course, the openly secular/atheistic ideologues such as Marx, Nietzsche, Freud and many others. I won't go into the pathetic history of feminism, hippie flower-power, abortion "rights" and all the rest of the nonsense we were fed, nor will I discuss the role of pornography or the so called 'gay' rights. My thesis is this: in terms of sexuality the West is now terminally cluster-f**cked. I won't even bother proving that thesis. Look for yourself a the divorce rates, teen pregnancy rates, homosexuality, pedophilia, rapes, marital violence, gross sexism and macho violence or, better, try to find something healthy in anything sex-related in the West. It ain't there. So I will say it again: in terms of sexuality the West is now terminally cluster-f**cked.
The latest example of that complete absence of any kind of healthy understanding of sex is the "Putin hits in Xi's wife" non-event scandal. Here is the video of the 'act', see for yourself:
“'Putin'
On the Moves: Vlad Cozies Up to China's First Lady,”
screamed NBC.
“Putin
Hits on China's First Lady,”
asserted US magazine Foreign Policy. “Russia’s
Don Juan-in-chief just got a little too friendly with Xi Jinping's
wife.”
“The
first unspoken rule of diplomacy might be "Don't hit on the
president's wife,"
but Russia's newly single president Vladimir Putin seems to have
missed the memo,” it continue.
Very
interestingly, RT also offered this photo as a reminder of the fact
that it was not the first time Putin did something like that:

RT
added: This
is not the first time Vladimir Putin’s manners have landed him in a
mini-storm. A similar gesture last year, when Putin offered a shawl
to German Chancellor Angela Merkel during the G-20 summit in St.
Petersburg, provoked many of the same kind of comments.
In
the typical westerner's mind, this goes something like that: we know
that Russian man spend their lives drinking and beating up their
woman, that they are sexist macho pigs, all potential rapists (look
at how they behaved in at the end of WWII in Germany!), so if one of
them shows what could be misconstrued as courtesy or attentive care,
he must be 'hitting' on the woman, already ready to jump, beat and
rape her". This is the kind of notion that the western
corporate media has been trying to implant in the minds of the poor
folks who watch the Idiot-box.
Before
I tell you how I, as a Russian, interpret what has happened, let me
share with you what a Chinese friend of mine has written about this
in a private email to me:
You
have probably seen the (non) news about Putin handing Xi's wife a
shawl. Western media has made a big deal out of it and I thought some
Russian viewers might misunderstand.
Peng
(Mrs. Xi) was not trying to intentionally spur Putin's kind gesture,
but Chinese culture is very sensitive to simple things including
these types of social gestures because in Chinese culture such
behavior denotes respect, place in society, and awareness of manners.
To take another man's coat is simply disrespectful to your husband in
Chinese culture. Peng was caught in the unfortunate position of
having to accept Putin's hospitality yet avoid offending her
husband's "face" publicly. This is very important in
Chinese society, perhaps not to myself in particular, but to most of
us especially the traditional minded (whom we mostly are... believe
me). Of course, as a foreigner Putin is not expected to be aware of
these nuances and his "rudeness" can be forgiven and
accepted as kindness. Actually Chinese manners dictate that when a
foreigner exhibits lack of knowledge of your customs, you are
supposed to accommodate them, but Peng's reaction is understandable
given her position. This wasn't made better by Western MSM claims of
Putin "flirting" with Peng -- which is completely
ridiculous of course.
I
believe the best PR fix would be Putin issuing a statement saying
something along the lines of, "I was trying to be polite, but
the Chinese as we continue to see are very subtle, which I admire
them for, and in their culture it is frowned upon for a woman to
accept another's coat. She was simply being respectful towards her
husband. This is nothing but growing pains in the fast developing
Sino-Russian alliance. Xi and I have a superb relationship and it
will continue to bring us success in the future." Putin has
enough of a media personality and credibility to pull this off. It is
unlikely that the Chinese will utter anything publicly until Russia
does, because they would not want to seem patronizing to Putin or
Russians by explaining often-accepted-as-simple-manners.
I
will just add that I think that Peng handled the situation
*superbly*. She showed her guest, Putin, no discomfort or
offense at all, she gave him a warm smile, bowed and thanked him,
kept the shawl on for just a second, then slightly turned (thereby
signifying the end of her gratitude expressing) and immediately took
the shawl off while her (smart) aides handed her another coat so as
to make the removal of the now non-needed shawl natural. If I
give Putin's aides a B for not warning him about that, I give the
Chinese an A+ about how elegantly they handled the situation.
Now
let's turn to the Russki side of the issue.
First,
I will readily admit that there are some Russian man who would make a
Cro-Magnon look educated, sophisticated, refined and otherwise
civilized (all countries probably have those) In contrast, Putin is a
highly educated man. Not only that, but he is a former spy.
That does not mean that he is a pro at firing guns, copying documents
or evading pursuing cars. As he himself explained it in his
book, a spy is first and foremost a man who knows how to make himself
liked by others. Being charming, reassuring, friendly and
soothing is one of the core qualities of a spy. Putin is also
an officer and he very much shares into the Russian officer ethos,
especially officers from elite institutions or units. In other
words, besides personal reasons, Putin has professional reasons to
have impeccable manners. Having watch many, many hours of his
town hall style meetings with all sorts of people and having him
watched interact with all sorts of different cultural and social
groups I can say that Putin's manners are absolutely superb, every
bit as refined and polished as Lavrov's. And here is the key to
what happened:
In
Russian culture it is not only normal to take care, be courteous, be
protective, attentive and otherwise gallant to woman, it is expected.
Russia is still what I call a "sexually differentiated society"
in which women and man are not "equals" but which sees then
a very different and
which strongly believes that real
men take care of women.
Russian society is also multi-cultural. Just as educated
Russians will not offer alcohol to a Muslim guest, they will also
know that, for example, you do not physically touch a Muslim woman
unless she, for example, is the first one to move her hand forward
for a handshake (because this Islamic no-touching rule is not
uniformly followed by all Muslim woman). Had Putin known about
the fact that handing over a shawl to a Chinese lady is inappropriate
he would most definitely not done so and it is absolutely clear by
her reaction that lady Peng completely understood this. Neither
of them every even considered such a ludicrous and vulgar notion that
Putin might be "hitting" on her, a married lady and his
host.
But
the corporate media of a "Michel Jackson society" (neither
child nor adult, neither Black nor White, neither male not female)
had to, of course, bring it all down to some vulgar crass move by the
Russian "mujik" on the Asian "chick". This
says nothing about Russia or China, and everything about the modern
corporate media and the sexually pathological ideology it tries to
force down the throats of those who are exposing themselves to it.
Honestly,
when I look around myself in western Europe or the USA I feel sorry
for most of the people I see. How many happy, stable and truly
loving marriages do you see nowadays? However, to measure the
fantastic degree of sexual frustration of western men, it is enough
to look at the huge income of the porn industry and realize that
somebody is consuming that porn and that, by definition, those who
are reduced to a sex-by-porn sexuality are completely dysfunctional,
frustrated and sadly lonely people. The so-called "sexual
freedom" resulted in a terminal case of sexual misery and
dissatisfaction. While I often get in trouble for saying that
homosexuality is a sexual psycho-pathology, I have to say that hetero
sex in the West is rarely and only marginally healthier.
This
is really sad as the consequences are devastating. "Sexually
differentiated" (where each gender is different and has his/her
role) couples are becoming increasingly rare (I won't even go into
the "gay marriage" folly!), most families are "multiply
recomposed", children lack real fathers or mothers, normal and
healthy masculine or feminine behavior is frowned upon and even basic
courtesy towards a lady is apparently inevitably interpreted as an
attempt to obtain sex from her (which is what "hitting"
is).
I
wonder how long it will take for people in the West to realize this
and to revolt against it. It is already happening. I know
a few "real" couples (two identifiable genders, male in the
father role, female in the mother role, no divorce, no marital
infidelity and no domestic violence but true deep love, children who
are raised close to their parents and not given up to state schools,
etc.) and they are always more or less "off the social grid":
they do their own thing away from the rest of society whose values
they have rejected, whose ideology they don't believe in, and whose
brainwashing appliances (TV, radio, papers) they don't let into their
homes. They are also sexually happy, with no need for porn,
meds or props. In fact, they know that sex gets *better* with
time. But they are still a tiny minority. The vast
majority of people out there still follow the prevailing societal
model to misery, loneliness and sexual frustration.
Finally,
I expect that this post will earn me yet another flood of angry
comments and I can't even begin to imagine how what I did say above
will be "re-worded" to make me say something I did not.
I offer the above as my own admittedly subjective point of view about
the context for the "Putin hitting on Peng" "non-event
scandal" in the hope that somebody might find it interesting.
As like to say, please view this blog like an AA meeting: you take
what you want and simply leave the rest.
In
this case, I wanted draw your attention that the (mis-)interpretation
of what happened in China by the corporate media is only a part of a
much wider problem and that looking at the general context of
male-female relations in the West might allow for a better
understanding of what is going on.
Frankly,
this is not a topic I want to dwell on either. I shared some of
my views above, but I have to ask you to please forgive me if I won't
participate in any further discussion about it. You are, as
always, welcome to have a healthy and dynamic discussion in the
comments section, but please don't expect me to join it: I am way too
busy (but I will lurk and read it though, just for my own education).
Kind
regards to all,
