Can our republic endure a gynocracy?

It is not only for economic reasons that more young adult men are “failing to launch.” Actually, the real failure would be succumbing to an insipid gynocracy (sometimes spelled as gynecocracy, its a social system in which women hold the primary positions of power, authority, and governmental control) imposed by bossy Gen-Z women. Whether at home or in society at large, that never goes well -- it is more like gyno-crazy.

Whatever young women think they are doing, it is not making them happier. Nevertheless, in a world where interdependence underlies the connected fabric of reality, they are determined to prove their independence. They seem to be constantly on the cusp of madness as they cling to precepts of notional equality. A rational young man simply cannot trust their delusional mood swings, adding to the economic disincentives to fly the coop.

Indeed, a larger percentage of men with college degrees (and jobs) are content to stay with their parents. Who can blame them? Even adhering to Dad’s house rules is less humiliating than being emasculated by some mad “person with a uterus” and pink hair.

As Aristotle pointed out in his treatise Politics, gynocracy was largely responsible for the downfall of Sparta. Due to wars, male mortality rates were high. Spartan law allowed women to inherit their wealth, resulting in commensurate female uppityness… and craziness.

Our laws allow that too.

Marriage is all about women -- their dresses, flowers, bridesmaids, gifts, etc. Though we need more American babies, I can certainly understand why the prospect of matrimony gives our young men the heebie-jeebies.

Divorce is mostly about women -- they file inordinately and irrationally, sometimes just because their husband gave them a deserved telling-off. Until the fairer sex complies with nature’s wishes, why would the superior sex obsequiously submit to their toxic gynocracy?

Generally speaking, our women seek safety and tend to avoid the high-octane and dangerous jobs that make America great. They outlive men; consequently, there is a demographic parallel with Sparta. Indeed, we are also on the verge of a great wealth transfer, with women siphoning off our hard-earned dollars. After all, men disproportionately create wealth with their industry and imagination; women generally manage it because they remember stuff.

Following this wealth transfer, can a leftist gynocracy be far behind? Will we fall like Sparta?

Traditional families are the bedrock of civic stability, but household formation is declining as our young men want to escape the sticky tentacles of gynocracy (which is an unnatural and unbalanced state of affairs). Extrapolating to greater society, one may ponder whether our republic can long endure the coming gyno-crazy onslaught?
