This post is part of a series covering our first summer group-read book, BRONZE AGE MINDSET. For the next month, I'll be reading Bronze Age Mindset, and dissecting what I find interesting. Feel free to make your own posts, if anything I missed strikes you as interesting! This post is a bit of an off-shoot, inspired by BAP, and we’ll be taking a look at the origin of “girl craziness” in pop-culture.

"Wherever love and sex prevail, women will command sooner or later" - Julius Evola, L'Arco e la Clava

As we are about to conclude Part Two of BRONZE AGE MINDSET, as much as BAP may be a bit prone to well-meaning meandering (UNLIKE ME, jkjk), we can glean from the work so far that the overarching theme is that the bug-man is an infection of consumerism, in all facets, and can be likened to something equivalent to mind control by vice. In fact, I explained this in my own, rather meandering essay, on the nature of masculinity as calculated risk:

The bugman exists as an infection of consumerism. To the bugman, there is no higher degree of satisfaction than money and women- not wicked in their own right, but neither should be ends in themselves. The masculine man will demand a deeper experience, spitting in the face of risk to attain something which transcends what the bug can understand. When a bug’s goal is money and women they’ll settle for achieving either with the least amount of energy exerted- leaving them enslaved to a master both at home and at work.

Men produce and women consume; the modern world (let's call this post-WW2) has made a conscious push for men to become equally dependent consumers. And why not? There is nothing to be gained by those elites (who live to exploit) with a population of strong, self-sufficient patriarchs. Men, at their most based, need very little. Coffee in the morning, meat at night. A book to read and a notebook to journal. Maybe it isn't that sinple really, but it's close enough.

There is no money to be made in strong men. There is money to be made in dependent, needy men obsessed with dopamine fixes- this is the origin of "girl craziness."

It's too easy to mistake some things for "the way they always were." The idea that teenage boys were always desperately horny and "girl crazy," as seen in our pop-culture depictions of adolescent life in post-WW2 pop-culture, is taken for granted as an inherent vice of teenage life.

Think of George McFly in "Back to the Future" (1985) spending his time peeping with binoculars, and Biff Tannen pathetically chasing Lorraine. This was presented as immutable fact: teenage boys are most obsessed with girls, boobs, and pussy.

Now teenage boys are addicted to internet porn, socially inept, and more likely to be life-long unmarried incels at a far higher rate- and, historically, when there are too many frustrated incels in the world population, things tend to go boom.

BRONZE AGE MINDSET is a deliberate attempt to dial-back girl craziness. If you follow BAP on twitter, he will often post #HandsomeThursday pictures of heavily built and sculpted men. In fact, the back cover of the book lists part of his mission as: "national nudism." I won't say he is trolling you, per se, or trying to subconsciously get you to be gay (certainly not), but what he's doing is trying to shift your consciousness away from girl craziness.

Post-WW2 pop-culture has been too happy to define men through the lens of what they can do for women. Maybe this started when dishonest politicians figured out that women can be a larger force in a democracy than men? But post-WW2, it was common for men to be depicted as thirsty dogs with hard dicks and nothing more. Not such a coincidence that the rise of pornography occurred concurrent to this, now is it?!

Prior to WW2, pop-culture depictions of adolescent boys centered on "girl hating" (think of a tree-house in an episode of Little Rascals with a sign posted "NO GIRLS ALLOWED!!"), adventurous pursuits, and male-friendships.

In fact, author Jeffery Dennis cites several rules common to all pre-war depiction of boys and boy-life in his book "We Boys Together: Teenagers in Love before Girl-Craziness" (2007):

1. All boys are straight.
2. At puberty, boys hang out with each other, or adult mentors.
3. Other than infants, only four-eyes, fatties, and fairies hang out with girls.
4. At around 18, boys marry [a girl, we must add today], get a job, and raise a family, ending their period of fun and freedom.

Also important to note that too much male-friendship today is a source of mockery ("bromance," or subtle accusations of homosexuality), and male adult mentor-ship is labeled outright as pedophilia (seemingly the only kind of pedophilia people are willing to be critical of, hmmmmm.... or, equally curious, when genuine article homosexuals mentor children, no accusations are made at all, also HMMMMMMM).

In line with our own theory on THE RED PILL, the only way to succeed in life is to stop worrying about girls- stop being so girl crazy- and concentrate on building value, producing not consuming, and learning to be masculine. The type of "girl craziness" we see depicted in pop-culture, which became a slippery slope to porn and masturbation addiction, is a distraction from this and not necessarily the natural state of boys- something precious and easily corruptible.

Ever wonder why the old adage was that masturbation was shameful, unhealthy, and could make you blind?

Well, now you know.
