Family Matters
CHAPTER XXV. On Modesty in Dress. S. PAUL expresses his desire that all Christian women should wear “modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety;” 125 —and for that matter he certainly meant that men should do so likewise. Now, modesty in dress and its…

CHASTITY AND MARRIAGE
"The original sin did not wound the man and the woman in the same way (...) it wounded them in a dissymmetrical way, (...) "The man wants a house to have a woman and the woman wants to have a man to have a house" (...) Both want the same things but in different ways (...) they will be affected by the same concupiscences and will incur in the same capital vices, but in different ways. Both suffer from gluttony, but the gluttony of the male is closer to animal voracity, while the gluttony of the female is more refined, inclined to treats, sweets and delicacies. Both will suffer from lust, but the male will regress toward animal instinct and physical possessiveness, while the female will tend toward affective possession and spiritual domination of the male's soul.
Both suffer from anger, but the male tends to manifest and vent his anger in bodily, physical form. We could call his anger hot anger; (...) the woman tends to vent (...) rather verbally, by means of hurtful words, offenses, slander and malediction: hurting with the tongue or indirectly and cunningly harming. His anger, although tremendous, can be described as cold anger.
(...) the male tends to return to the instinctive and to the appetites of the body. In him the animal pole tends to predominate and to become dehumanized (...) sometimes he is a real "pig" (...) we see how the male tends to eat and drink in excess, even if it hurts him (...) he becomes lustful, he is incapable of dying to his sexual passion for love of his wife when in reality (...) he would make her happy.
The woman, on the other hand, tends to become unbalanced by (...) the appetites of the soul or the concupiscence of the eyes. (...) she tends (...) to "usurp the divine" (...) she is inclined to the unlawful exercise of divinity, and to the usurpation of divine providence. And not for evil, she wants good but she wants to do it in her own way. And she wants to be the one who says what is good and what is bad (...) by this way of her own good intentions, is where the woman becomes dominant (...) and sometimes she uses the passional weakness of the man to manipulate him.
That is why it has been said that the dominant sin of the male is lust and the dominant sin of the female is greed, ambition. Because of this dissymmetry of the wounds of original sin, instead of seeking the good of the other, each one tries to take advantage of the weakness of the other. And in any case, since it is not understood that it is a wound, worthy of mercy, each one ends up being irritated by the wound of the other. The woman is irritated by the physical possessiveness of the man and the man by the affective possessiveness of the woman.
The sacrament of marriage has been instituted as a sacrament of healing of the wounds of original sin in the man and the woman. And the spouses are to be, one for the other, ministers of that healing. Therefore, the wife must collaborate to heal in the husband the wound of lust, and the husband must collaborate to heal in the wife the wound of insatiable affection, the exorbitant desires of the soul and the related terrors. The healing effects of the sacrament are respectively: chastity and obedience. Mortification of the instincts in the male and of the desires of self-will in the female.
That is why a sacrament of healing was needed. So that man and woman, wounded as they were from birth by original sin, and condemned to misunderstanding and perpetual misunderstanding, could be healed and live the conjugal happiness to which God the Father had destined them "in the beginning". History proves that this is not utopia."

Walking with my daughter today, I said to her —
"Look for a man as Good as your father. If you find one half as Good, you'll have found one better than any man I've ever known other than your Father."
I'm going to tell my husband about this conversation because it's good for the people you love to know it ❤️

What does submission mean for a woman who wants to be in a traditional relationship?
Let's first talk about what it does not mean. It doesn't mean putting up with abuse. It doesn't mean tolerating disrespect. It doesn't mean suffering through a relationship where your needs aren't being met and your input isn't valued. It doesn't mean cowering in front of a man's temper tantrums and turning a blind eye to his emotional instability. It doesn't mean being treated like a half-retarded child.
Submission is what a woman does naturally around a man who is competent to lead her. This shouldn't feel like work or some kind of sacrifice, but the natural ease of two complementary people working as a unit, with each person's talents being utilised in their proper roles for mutual benefit. The two become one and the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
When the sun shines brightly, the moon reflects that. A man who feels the need to put out the light of a woman in order that he looks brighter in comparison has no business being in a relationship at all. That is a lunar, feminine man who does not deserve submission.
Traditionally-minded women need to abandon this idea that in order to submit, they must infantilise themselves and put themselves at the mercy of inferior men. Challenge his masculinity, make him rise to the occasion, make him earn your voluntary submission. Men are not ennoscriptd to female submission by virtue of having a penis.
Women who submit to men who haven't earned it only enable weakness in men. The world does not need more weak men. The world also does not need more weak women. Women, stand up for yourselves if you're not being treated right and refuse to submit to men who haven't earned the privilege of leadership. A man who is worthy of leading will be able to do so effectively through his own gravitas and masculine presence and will have no need to resort to abuse, bullying, or disrespect.

Has anything like this ever happened to any society, ever? Three out of ten women under the age of 25 consider themselves to be gay or transgender. Five percent, sure. Maybe even eight percent. But thirty? Will they always think that? Maybe not, but these are their prime childbearing years. The US fertility rate is at a 35-year low, and there’s no reason to think it will rise. Some critics blame structural difficulties in the US economy that make it harder for women to choose to have children, but European nations make it vastly easier for mothers, and still cannot get their fertility rates above replacement.
What’s behind this is primarily cultural. We have become an anti-natalist society. And further, we have become a society that no longer values the natural family. We see everywhere disintegration. Yesterday, on the Al Mohler podcast, I talked about going to a conservative Evangelical college a few years back, and hearing from professors there that they feared most of their students would never be able to form stable families, because so many of them had never seen what that’s like.
And now we have 30 percent of Gen Z women claiming to be sexually uninterested in men. There is nothing remotely normal about that number. It is a sign of a deeply decadent culture — that is, a culture that lacks the wherewithal to survive. The most important thing that a generation can do is produce the next generation. No families, no children, no future.
Thirty percent of women aged 25 and under have no interest in sex with men. If that does not alarm you as a religious traditionalist or conservative, then you might actually be dead. We absolutely must form right now — not tomorrow, right now — communities that socialize our children into the goodness of marriage and family. The broader culture knows what it believes, and it preaches this confidently. The churches are barely pushing back. And it shows.

Yes, in sodom. They haven’t the vaguest idea what kind of death they’re courting. Spiritual, mental, emotional, familial, racial.

A big part of the reason guys (especially “right-wing” guys) aren’t trying to find wives/create families is because of black-pilling & alarmist content.
Black-pilling content destroys the incentive to work towards creating positive future prospects, and alarmist content is anything which makes you feel like you’re in “the end days” and something drastic and aggressive must be done.
Many guys have been heavily affected by such content especially over the past year or so, with the introduction of “covid” alarmism.
To use an example of how alarmist content makes you act out of impulse and do stupid things, some Leftists in Melbourne during last year’s bushfire season got “climate change” tattoos, one of them had “CLIMATE EMERGENCY” in bold letters tattooed across his outer forearm and posed with an image of his new tattoo on Facebook, the image was captioned “because nothing else matters if we can’t get control of the climate emergency!”
Fast-forward a year, the world isn’t burning, Greta is irrelevant and no one even gives a shit about climate change propaganda anymore, and the idiot still has that tattoo.
Similarly, alarmist messaging in nationalism has affected the subconscious of many younger guys, who seem to think the world is falling apart around them and that there’s no point in doing anything constructive. This lays the groundwork for either total inaction or impulsive action such as vandalism, violence and race-hate gangs which they call “accelerationism”, which is accelerating towards an imaginary societal collapse which actually won’t happen.
If you think accelerating the murder and mistreatment of whites will result in a “flash-bang collapse” of civilisation and a race-war, look at South Africa. Whites are literally chopped up with machetes inside their own homes by blacks, and half of the whites there are still Leftists watching TV thinking it won’t happen to them because they’re not racist. Is that what we’re accelerating towards?
Dispelling this curse requires us to be realistic. For a start, all covid is actually doing is accelerating the digitalisation of currency (which, through crypto is actually making a lot of our guys rich), executing or vegetating boomers via lethal injection, justifying the tracking of citizens and authoritarian interventions from the state. There is no final “bang” and collapse coming here.
The ethnic replacement of white people has been a long term siege against us and no fast solution to this problem exists. Seriously opposing this genocide is going to require work, the formation of families and the establishment of our own exclusive communities. Again, there is no “bang” or collapse here either.
The final lines of the poem “The Hollow Men” by T.S. Eliot come to mind, when he writes “This is how the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper.”
This whimper can go on and on for generations, and will continue to go on unless we stop whimpering and start working towards real solutions.
