KILL THE PATRIARCHAL FAMILY AND REPLACE IT WITH WHAT?

KILL THE PATRIARCHAL FAMILY AND REPLACE IT WITH WHAT?

By Domenic k J. Maglio Ph.D. Traditional Realist

Harvard professor, Elizabeth Bartholet, views home schooling as problematic because the parents have control of the values taught and the school curriculum. Since many home-schooling parents are religious, the\ progressives assume they would be prejudiced against the protected classes. Her intolerance towards devout families homeschooling their own children is an abomination. Combining this with the toxic male hysteria of characterizing all males as a violent abusive gender we should realize there is unfolding a strong frontal attack on traditional families.

Another piece of evidence of the direct assault on the patriarchal family is an article by Sophie Lewis, a self-described lesbian communist. She claims there was an increase in domestic violence between the father and other family members during this Covid-19 quarantine, which shows the need to abolish the patriarchal family. This reminds many of the false, non-scientific speculation of an elevation in domestic violence cases that was reported several years ago during the Super Bowl. Experts demonstrated it was false.

However, there is a correlation between high levels of stress, being confined in any setting including one’s home and interpersonal violence. This could happen with siblings, parents and children or spouses in any family. The same phenomenon happens in stressful situations with homosexual relationships, at work, with peers and other interpersonal relationships with high levels of frustration. People with low frustration tolerance often strike out at others within striking distance. The Covid-19 epidemic has been a psychologically difficult experience for people in many situations not only in the family.

Blaming violence on the patriarchal family allows anti traditional feminists to claim anything and everything. They say the traditional family is the cause of higher birthrates, oppression of children and women, greater disease, incarceration, global warming and other unsupported pseudo-scientific assertions to discredit the traditional family. It does not matter that there is no scientific evidence or logic to the claims, just as long as they are negative. The family has been the backbone of all societies except for the failed socialist/communist experiments.

Radical activists understand once the powerful glue that holds a culture together evaporates, the culture will disintegrate. It will not be replaced by females or males living separately with their pet, as a substitute child. Males or females living with their same sex lovers have their own unique violence that exceeds the male/female/child arrangement. These relationship substitutes are not viable as the eventual replacements for the traditional family.

Radical artificial relationships would be too unpredictable and capricious to be the foundation of a vigorous society. It would be an unnatural state that would change with the latest cultural fad of society. Any power brokers of this type of transformative society will herd the people into a system that would ensure the perpetuation of their regime by controlling the population. By necessity they would dictate and shape the people’s actions by developing rigid institutions. These leaders would maximize methods specially to train the youngest elements of their nation by programing them to follow their wishes.

As early as possible the state would authoritatively require the children to be separated from their birth parents and be indoctrinated in centers for obedience training toward the leader. They would be rewarded for their positive behavior by the new state regulations. Any deviation of their laws would be handled forcefully without individual protection from the law.

This totalitarian governmental system obviously would have greater legal consequences and no individual freedom. The robotic, uncreative thinking and behavior of the citizens is a by-product of group-thinking indoctrination. This type of nation would not permit parents the freedom to raise their own children. It would snatch the children to have one-size-fits-all national education centers to produce spiritless adults who are unable to think individual thoughts and the have the freedom to act on their own. The state officials and laws are the control, not citizens’ moral values.

The patriarchal family can have dysfunctional and destructive fathers and mothers. These horrific family situations should be corrected by other functional family members or in the worst case, by the state. The vast majority of parents have a natural paternal and maternal love and devotion to their children that no state can duplicate.

The traditional patriarchal family has existed from the beginning of time. Without the propagation of children, the civilization would end in one generation. Children are the key for the continuation of mankind. The patriarchal family is the most effective institution in raising creative and healthy children.

Every attempt by totalitarian governments, for example the USSR, NAZI Germany, Cuba, Cambodia, ancient Sparta and current Communist China have not succeeded in being a high functioning, stable and free society. All over the world the patriarchal family has been a natural outcome to inculcate a child with the values and skills to be a successful, functioning adult.
