the manipulated man is an essential book
_________________________________________
A WOMAN, as we have already said, is, in contrast to a man, a human
being who does not work.
One might leave it at that, for there isn't much more to say about her, were the basic concept of “human being” not so gen- eral and inexact in embracing both “man” and “woman.”
Life offers the human being two choices: animal existence – a lower or- der of life – and spiritual existence. In general, a woman will choose the former and opt for physical well-being, a place to breed, and an opportunity to indulge unhindered in her breeding habits.
At birth, men and women have the same intellectual potential; there is no primary difference in intelligence between the sexes. It is also a fact that potential left to stagnate will atrophy. Women do not use their mental ca- pacity: they deliberately let it disintegrate. After a few years of sporadic training, they revert to a state of irreversible mental torpor.
Why do women not make use of their intellectual potential? For the sim- ple reason that they do not need to. It is not essential for their survival. Theoretically it is possible for a beautiful woman to have less intelligence than a chimpanzee and still be considered an acceptable member of society.
By the age of twelve at the latest, most women have decided to become prostitutes. Or, to put it another way, they have planned a future for them- selves which consists of choosing a man and letting him do all the work. In return for his support, they are prepared to let him make use of their vagina at certain given moments. The minute a woman has made this decision she ceases to develop her mind. She may, of course, go on to obtain various degrees and diplomas. These increase her market value in the eyes of men, for men believe that a woman who can recite things by heart must also know and understand them. But any real possibility of communication be- tween the sexes ceases at this point. Their paths are divided forever.
Men seem incapable of realizing that women entirely lack ambition, de- sire for knowledge, and need to prove themselves, all things which, to him, are a matter of course. They allow men to live in a world apart because they do not want to join them. Why should they? The sort of independence men have means nothing to women, because women don't feel dependent. They are not even embarrassed by the intellectual superiority of me because they have no ambition in that direction.
There is one great advantage which women have over men: they have a choice – a choice between the life of a man and the life of a dimwitted, parasitic luxury item. There are too few women who would not select the latter. Men do not have this choice.
