Post No. 3,381 - The evil of social conditioning and obsessions [Content warning - traditional gender roles, stereotypes, s_x, SA, bigotry]

I’ve been reflecting on the transphobia and other bigotries I have endured, and one of the major causative problems of those is social conditioning.  

In many Western nations, what people are taught often includes this rubbish: 

• sex is everything;  

• cismen are supposed to protect women;  

• if cismen are denied the opportunity to protect women - e.g., if a cis or trans woman is self reliant, capable, and independent - their value as a potential sexual partner (i.e., whole self identity and reason for existence) is, in their minds, threatened; 

• cismale identity is fragile, and threatened by (afraid of) the very existence of LGBTQIASB+ people; 

• as the only reason a cismale can conceive of for them to go in to a female toilet seems to be to have a perv or to commit sexual assault, they assume transwomen - who their delicate little snowflake minds are too incompetent to recognise as female - are there for the reasons they would be - and the cismales are jealous; 

• meanwhile, ciswomen are taught the delicate, hyper-dependent princess rubbish; 

• patriarchy teaches them to sacrifice their agency for roles to glorify and worship fragile snowflake cismen;  

• the delicate, hyper-dependent, snowflake ciswomen see any/all cis or trans woman who are self reliant, capable, and independent as a threat (i.e., they are afraid of) to their hyper-dependent ("protected") status and thus their value as a potential sexual partner (i.e., whole self identity and reason for existence). 

Of course, that has been written to take the problematic versions of social conditioning to an extreme - but not an absurdist extreme, as far too many people actually have been brainwashed by social conditioning into existing (it is not living) this way (but I note that many have NOT). 

I wrote recently about the spiritual changes signified by the Sex Discrimination Act (1984) in Australia, and I am more convinced than ever that, just as some businesses can be bastions of progressivism, others are dungeons of obdurate (often religiously motivated) holding to outmoded and harmful (to ALL) spiritual/moral rot, mould, and decay of the type I have outlined in the dot points above. 

The sooner those people decide to be mature adults and let go of the harmful brainwashing aka social conditioning (which is not easy - I have used the word brainwashing to specifically highlight that), the better for them, the people they love, all humanity, and all sentient life everywhere. 

The same applies to ALL snowflakes who cannot handle difference.  

Possible flaws 

Where I can, I will try to highlight possible flaws / issues you should consider: 

• there may be flawed logical arguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan  Myers’ free online course “Clear and Present Thinking”;  
• I could be wrong - so keep your thinking caps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).

Post No. 3,352 - Social conditioning - society’s brainwashing

EVERYONE goes through their society’s brainwashing - which is a more accurate description of what is euphemistically termed “social conditioning”, much as the original “commercial (or business) propaganda” is a more accurate term for what was later euphemistically referred to as “advertising”. 

Social brainwashing - and for more on brainwashing, see Encyclopaedia Britannica,   Wikipedia,   how stuff works,   the knitting cult lady,   Voltaire - is, to some extent, what enables societies to functions as it leaders/rulers/(elite) influencers want it to. 

In some societies, pre-agriculture in particular, that may well be largely beneficial. 

In others - especially coloniser and other militaristic and/or authoritarian societies, it is “bad” (nonBPM, in my terminology). 

This social brainwashing exacerbates and uses human characteristics such as the fear of isolation, FOMO, fear of human aggression, etc to accomplish its aims (including things like class and other division, and inequality). 

It can often be regarded, in fact, as evil. 

 

And it can be overcome. 

 

On a personal level, experiences that enable people to “see” (generally by becoming one of its victims) what is euphemistically referred to as “society’s underbelly” (it’s savage, uncaring, exclusionary, hateful, bigotted, violent [including SA and CSA] parts) are often what lead individuals to start rejecting and undoing that social brainwashing. 

But it can also be recognised, rejected and undone by positive experiences as well - consciousness raising and other forms of education, developing critical thinking skills, enlightenment of various types including the good types of religious paths such as Quakerism and witchcraft, and good personal growth work. 

Some rebellions have also led to major reductions of (or changes of) social brainwashing, as the resistance  historian discusses.  

 

At a social level, every movement that has promoted a fairer, more inclusive society - including mass movements against racism, misogyny, other forms of bigotry, and violence, and mass movements for a fairer, more inclusive, more democratic society (voting for those who don’t own land, for women, and for members  of other minority groups, and for active human rights actions [safer workplaces, fairer work conditions, positive duty requirements, etc], etc) - has acted to undo the evil forms of social brainwashing. 

 

And the work of this blog also counters and undoes that evil.
