OUR CULTURE HAS CHOSEN MEN AS PERPETRATORS AND WOMEN AS VICTIMS

 OUR CULTURE HAS CHOSEN MEN AS PERPETRATORS AND WOMEN AS VICTIMS

By Domenick J. Maglio PhD. Traditional Realist

 

Our media has emphasized the victimization of females. When police are called into a domestic violence home situation overwhelmingly the male figure is asked to leave or is charged with domestic violence since women are considered “the weaker sex.”  Men are normally stronger than women although women can use physical objects as weapons and can act as instigators. 

 

Men are also victimized throughout our society. The statistics found in the United States demonstrate a shocking picture of the plight of men in our judicial system. The mental stability of men is frighteningly low since 76% of all suicides are committed by men in the US. Men comprise 85% of all homelessness which is not conducive to physical and mental health. Women are 30% of the homicide victims while men make up rest of the 70% of the homicide victims. Women may be considered the weaker sex but with a weapon, they can become powerful opponents.

 

This is surprising since the media emphasizes through television and movies the plight of females by the more powerful and explosive males.  Supposedly the females are considered the lesser of the two although in our current culture this is not always true.

 

 Even more difficult to understand, when the police come into a domestic violence situation, they will normally charge the man and not arrest the female. Although this is not common knowledge, 40% of men are declared as the victims in these domestic violence cases. 

Additionally, men serve 64% longer prison sentences than women and are 3.4 times more likely to serve time in prison for committing the same crime. The reality is the man usually is seen as stronger than the woman and is seen as the culprit and the woman as the victim.

 

The media has played up female victimization while practically ignoring the cultural prejudice leveled against men in many societal situations. Young girls fit in better in school than boys. Boys comprise the greater number of problem students acting out while girls are seemingly more compliant and are better students than boys in early academics. Young males often settle problems with brute force while girls are often catty, spreading innuendos and falsehoods. 

 

Obviously, law enforcement is more coercive when entering a physical crisis situation than merely a verbal disagreement. They establish their power with a strong show of force with an upset male while acting calmer with the female.

 

Law enforcers understand that men can be more physically dangerous than females. This is the driving force for arresting the male and usually not the female in a domestic violence situation. Although 76% of homicide victims are men.  Additionally, the more aggressive males, 64% spend more time in prison for the same crime as a female perpetrator. 

 

Men are usually bigger and stronger than females. When upset, males can be more dangerous than females. However, in certain situations females can be more violent and intimidating than males especially when females are involved with alcohol or drugs. 

 

This means that men and women are not treated the same in domestic violence encounters.

These differences demonstrate this dichotomy is not viable and should be stricken from our woke sexual agenda.

 

The equality between men and women should be less stereotyped and more nuanced in anything that is dealing with physical violence. Attempting to explain and decide the specific behavior of the two individuals, male and female, there are too many variables in personalities to make a blanket statement such as, all women are rational and conciliatory in confrontations while males are aggressive, hostile, and violent. In other words, not all men are perpetrators of domestic violence or are all women victims.

THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS TWICE

 THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS TWICE

By Domenick J. Maglio, PhD., Traditional Realist

 

In 1823 Clement Moore wrote “A Visit from St. Nicholas” which morphed into the story of Santa Claus with a sleigh and eight tiny reindeer bringing gifts to children at Christmas. This was the beginning of the secularizing of the celebration of Christmas. Later Xmas was introduced which removed Christ from Christmas.

 

Dr. Seuss, (Theodor Gisel) wrote the story, “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” in 1957.

The moral of the story was that Christmas was not just trees, stockings, and gifts but about sharing and caring but there was no celebration of the birth of Jesus.

 

Today’s woke culture is using the Grinch story to steal Christmas again. There is now “Merry Grinchmas” that viciously takes Christ right out of Christmas. The Grinch no longer has anything to directly do with Christmas, but you see inflatable Grinches in many yards instead of traditional Nativity scenes.

 

Now large corporate companies are producing Grinch inflatables and professional decorations for businesses or homes demonstrating to everyone that Grinchmas is the modern way to X out religious connotations of Christmas. Madison Avenue backed companies are producing concrete symbols that replace the religious ones with blinking, colored lights that capture the eyes of the passersby.  

 

Christmas is a time when we are supposed to celebrate and honor the birth of Jesus Christ as told in traditional Christmas carols. Most focus on our savior’s birth.

 

“A Visit from St. Nicholas” became “The Night Before Christmas.” This scenario took on a life of its own. At Christmas time Santa would appear in department stores where children would sit on his lap and tell Santa what they wanted for Christmas, and he would bring it and put it under the Christmas tree. Today many children pick out their presents online even xing out Santa Claus.

 

This ritual became prevalent throughout the US but is significantly less today. Children are still asking for gifts on one of the most important Christian holidays of the year but not directly from Santa Claus. 

 

Today’s gifts for the holidays are purchased with the child present on the internet and are sent to the homes of loves ones. The secularization of the most Christian holiday is erasing many of our traditions. Christmas caroling by neighbors and churches has decreased or disappeared altogether. Few, if any, schools teach the children the traditional Christmas carols or have carol sings for the community. 


Even the White House has very little celebration of traditional Christmas. This year the White House celebration had spooky dancers gyrating down the hallway. The movement of the dancers looked more like street performers than dignified Christmas performers.  It seemed to be the opposite of performing anything to do with a religious holiday. 

 

Every aspect of our Christmas holiday has been turned more into Grinchmas. It is now not a series of days set aside to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ but a time to replace Him with Grinchmas. Grinchmas is a time to celebrate many hedonistic pleasures. 

 

Grinchmas is a movement to remove any worshipping of Jesus as the savior of man who have not lived a Godly life. He came to earth to do His father’s work to save the souls of man who had turned away from God’s commands.

 

The Grinch is a symbol to lead humans away from Christ’s Godly word and actions. Grinchmas is a means of swaying people away from God towards evil, temptations rather than towards holiness.

 

Frail souls need to return to true Christmas where praying to Jesus will bring strength to their souls. Only by doing God’s holy work through Jesus’ teaching will humans not be seduced into an antichrist path of evil.

 GENDER REASSIGNMENT DOES NOT CHANGE THE SEX

By Domenick J. Maglio PhD. Traditional Realist

 

Gender dysphoria probably has appeared to some degree throughout the existence of man.

This attitude of a person who wants to be recreated as the opposite sex than they were born is nothing new. This attitude that the opposite gender is treated would be congruent with human nature.  Although attempting to changing one’s sex through reassignment surgery does not change the gender even though a coalition of transgenders are advocating for science to legitimize and concoct a process that works. 

 

One of the first most notable cases of gender realignment goes back to WWII. George Jorgencien became Christine Jorgencien. George could not become a woman nor does a transexual biological woman become a man. Instead, the male becomes an impersonator of a woman the same way a biological woman will impersonate being a man, but their DNA remains the same as they were born. This is like a transexual who is biologically a male participating in women’s sports.

 

Since the beginning of time until just a few years ago, anyone born with a penis was immediately labeled as a boy. Newborns born with a vagina were identified as girls. This was not questioned. It was a definitive assessment that determined the sex of a child all over the world. 

 

In our present, woke culture things have radically changed. These traditionally accepted scientific, self-evident physiological differences have been abandoned. Presently the sex of infants that is usually determined by the anatomy at birth is instead being decided by the parents. In some cases hospitals are not putting the sex of the child on their birth certificate: TBD, To Be Determined later confirms societal pressure to make the definition more amorphous. We are witnessing some parents and family members who are attempting to decide if the child should be defined as the opposite of their physiology and should be treated as such for the rest of their future. 

 

Instead of insisting the youngster be considered the boy or girl they were born as, some of our population has been indoctrinated by pseudo-scientific hogwash. The message to them is mannerisms and overall appearance should be the major deciding factor in labeling the sex of the child not the physical factors and their DNA.

 

Even sexual organs should not be the determining factor. The child’s reactions to traditional male or female roles are being considered as major determiners of their sex. Three-year-old girls who play with trucks can now be considered to be born in the wrong body by a University of North Carolina study.

 

Transexual communities in our “woke” culture have become sufficiently powerful to ignore historically tradition and scientific evidence.  In many people’s minds they have replaced it with subjective, dubious indicators, such as the child acts and thinks like a girl when they are playing.

 

Years ago, an athletic and aggressive teenage girl was called a “tomboy” and a quiet, non-aggressive boy was considered “girlie”. In North Carolina where medical gender intervention was made illegal, a 9-year-old-biological girl who identifies as a boy, is suing the state to have a gender reassignment operation. If this young biological girl wins the case in North Carolina, it will open the floodgates for more sexually confused children to make decision that will change the direction of their lives forever. 

 

In some of our schools, teachers are making statements that are confusing their students as to their gender. Some teachers express their feelings that a child should have a gender reassignment surgery.  Some adults are now asking the child what they want to be a boy or a girl instead of going along with their biological gender. This confuses the child. Sometimes schools threat the child as a different gender and do not inform the parents. Teachers say they are more highly educated than the parent and therefore have the right to supersede the parental authority.

 

At this stage of our wokeness, anything that is radically different or novel, is more attractive to most woke believers. Women’s and men’s dress allows unisex clothing or even dressing as the opposite sex. Distinction in dress, employment, and recreation no longer exists as different for males and females.

 

Women and men should be proud of their unique gifts from God. Each should utilize them to be the best of their sex they can be. 

 

Attempting to change one’s biological traits and nature cannot be accomplished. We can operate, remove, and sculpture new sex organs that change the appearance of the person but 

DNA cannot be changed as it is in every cell in the body.

 

If an individual wants to pretend to be of the opposite sex it can artificially be done but the God given DNA in every cell of one’s body cannot be reversed.

THREE Cs OF BIZARRE AND CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR

 THREE Cs OF BIZARRE AND CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR

BY Domenick J. Maglio, PhD. Traditional Realist

 

Through our modern child rearing practices our nation is creating, condoning, and championing bizarre behavior. Too many psychological, criminal, and educational experts are supporting tactics that have long term negative results on the mental health of the youngsters of our nation. Our child rearing practices must return to set rational limits and enforcing necessary consequences.

 

When an elementary age child wants to act like a dog or a cat, some schools are accommodating them by providing sand boxes in the bathrooms. This playing along with a child’s absurd fantasy only prolongs this game for weird attention or helps the children convince themselves that they can be an animal.  Either way it does nothing to put them back onto the road to mental health. 

 

Instead of placing the child with a mental health expert or clinic for intensive treatment that was a normal procedure in the recent past, too many clinicians are placating and confusing the child by accepting insane thoughts or behaviors instead of preventing them. This philosophy of giving a person freedom to solve their own problems is a reaction against formerly sending a person to a therapist or a clinic. These clients possess more radical behavior and thoughts that worsen rather than improve the child’s overall behavior. 

 

Our society is being turned upside-down “creating, condoning, and championing” behavior and ideals that were once considered hazardous to parenting and mental health. We have completely reversed traditional thinking and replaced it with ideas that do not work.  

 

In past decades we completely altered the concept that a child was born either as a boy or a girl. Today there is LGBTQ+ Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, transexual, Omnisexual, Cisgender, Demisexual, etc. and the partial list keeps on growing. The problem with this expanding list of gender confusion is it allows youngsters with these confused distinctions to become more neurotic or even switch their gender which adds more confusion and mental anguish thus increasing insane, acting-out behavior.

 

Arresting juveniles who act out and sending them to a lockup facility for treatment was usually a place where they learned better techniques to do more sophisticated criminal acts and outrageous behavior. Incredibly, the answer to juvenile mental health or criminality became the same permissive approach: do not arrest them. Let them learn from watching other mentally disturbed or criminals getting themselves into more serious mental health or legal situations. Unfortunately, this does not help but only creates an avalanche of crime and mental health issues. 

 

The permissive approach to juvenile and adult crime can be witnessed almost every night on the news. A Las Vegas gang of 15 black students beat a white boy to death at school.  Two weeks later random customers shopping in a big box store wrecked the store while stealing merchandise. Presently there are no consequences to the anonymous robbers while employees who attempt to stop them have been fired from their job and have ridiculously been punished for stopping the vandals. Of course, this is entirely upside-down.

 

There are schools pandering to children with obvious mental health and physically acting out issues. They have allowed tight clothing, short shorts, revealing tops for girls and tight pants for boys. The relaxed dress code might be loosely interpreted in some areas but is very permissive in others. Even extreme sexualized behavior is overlooked by the authorities. An example is an adolescent male who identifies as a female is allowed to shower in the girl’s locker room even though he possesses male sexual organs. Permissiveness produces the same results and only aggravates and increases inappropriate behavior. 

 

Instead of teaching students, traditional standards of behavior and dress, students are teaching each other modern, “anything goes,” ones. Permissiveness is undermining our values one-by-one. The students are the teachers while the most popular teachers in the student’s minds are the cool, anything goes teachers. These include teachers who cover their room with rainbow flags and do not report sexual activities going on in the back of the room.

 

This breakdown of what is right and wrong is ushering in a crumbling society of deviant, lawless, and insane, bizarre behavior. The low standards have glorified an upheaval that will terminate in chaos and the fall of society unless we stop it.

 

Our nation has to move from permissiveness back to enforcing standards of traditional, positive

behavior.  The Three Cs: creating, condoning, and championing deviant behaviors leads directly to destructive acts, mental instability, or even some cases that leads to insanity. 

 

Teachers, police, and especially parents must do their job in setting limits and enforcing the consequences of their position to assist the development of happy, productive and great future leaders.
