All Women Are (Not) the Same

November 2024

“All women are the same.” My father told me that when I was a small boy. He was wrong. I thought so then, and I still think so now. Some of the more extreme elements of the men’s MGTOW community echo this claim today. I think they are wrong too. This generalization is about as accurate as saying “All men are oppressive” or “All men are simps.” A few are one or the other. Most are neither. Same with any other non-physical generalization placed upon women.

There are however, groups of women (and men) within societies, cultures, and nations that do fit generalized beliefs and actions. These beliefs and actions are not the same across all groups of women. They differ across cultures and nations. For example, women in the Philippines tend to be more traditional and conservative than women in the United States. The vast majority don’t divorce, they don’t abort their children, they embrace gender roles, they don’t use words like patriarchy, toxic masculinity, or misogyny … and they don’t place the blame on men for every problem in the world. They are more traditional and conservative than American women. They are collectively also far more feminine and agreeable than American women. Why is that, if all women are supposed to be the same?

Don’t like what you’re hearing? I’m sure you can find exceptions to every single thing written here. That’s why they call it generalization.  A form of abstraction whereby common properties of specific instances are formulated as general concepts or claims. These generalizations come from a lot of specific instances, so there is a higher probability they will apply to the environments from which they are generalized. Statistics back this up. However, feel free to nit pick and find the exception that proves what you feel, rather than the generalization, is more accurate overall.

Many pundits on both sides (feminist and MGTOW) state that it will only be a matter of time before social media and the internet either “educates” or “pollutes” the Philippines, depending on ideological stance. That female nature or feminism will win out. Either would indicate a change from conservative to liberal Filipinas, yet that is not happening anywhere near the degree it should, being that they are bombarded with the same woke, liberal, feminist social media that the USA, Canada, UK and Australia consume. Pundits on both sides claim that Filipinas are rapidly becoming feminists. From what I have seen here, they are wrong. Even the most “liberated” Filipinas I have encountered do not end the lives of their unborn children and call it “healthcare.” Most also follow God and believe in the sanctity of marriage.

Again, if all women are the same, why … with the additional influence of social media … are Filipinas different from American women? There are multiple factors, falling into three life areas:

  • Foundation
  • Influence
  • Restraint

Foundation consists of the values a person receives and internalizes during the early years of her life. These are formed by family, culture and religion. As she grows into adulthood, there are other factors that influence her further. These are friends, school, job and media. Finally, there are restraints that prevent persons from behaving badly or in an anti-social manner. These are the government and legal system, whose policies and laws are supposed to reward good and punish evil.

Let’s contrast these areas of the Philippines with those in the United States, to examine how they can shape values and beliefs in women.

Foundation

Philippines

In the Philippines, family is at the center of a person’s life and comes before almost everything. Many families have both fathers and mothers in traditional gender roles. Respect and deference is given to elder family members, including grandparents and the eldest child. They pass these values on to their children.

The Philippines is a very religious country with the Catholic church at the center of it for the majority of people. The church not a social club, like in the United States. People here have a genuine love and fear of God. It is clear in their actions. Malls broadcast prayers over the public address system several times per day while people stop and pray. For-hire vehicles that transport people are adorned with bible verses. God is ever present, and the traditional values of the bible permeate society. The family and church create a traditional culture for the Philippines. Children are not aborted here, even by the most liberal women. Divorce is very difficult to obtain. Marriage is considered a lifelong commitment. Parents are respected and the traditional family unit is sacred.

United States

In the United States, the traditional family is a relic of the past. Fathers are either forcibly removed from families or they abandon them, resulting in a huge number of single-mother homes. In these homes, children do not learn traditional parental or gender roles. They learn feminism. Little girls are empowered, and little boys are shamed into being docile. Statistics bear this out with single-mother homes producing far more disadvantaged, mentally ill, substance abusing, academically poor performing, and criminal offspring.

Religion has been removed from public life in the USA. It is ridiculed and condemned. Few still believe in God, much less love and fear of God. Those who do are obliged to keep their mouths shut about it. The Bible and its traditional values are not just rejected, they are outlawed. Public schools were forced to remove “You shall not  kill” from the walls of classrooms, after which school shootings skyrocketed. The religion of the United States is liberalism. The lack of family and church create a very liberal, secular culture that has destroyed families, ended the lives of millions of unborn children, and pitted men and women against each other in a gender war. This is American culture.

Influence

Philippines

The strong, traditional foundation of the Filipina is further strengthened throughout her school age and young adulthood. Friends can be a bad influence, but most are not, especially for Filipinas from strong families who steer them clear of such bad friends. Not many non-traditional kids exist anyway, at least not in the Western sense. The schools teach traditional, godly values. Not liberal secular values. The Bible is read in school. There are no gender studies, oppressed groups, or political indoctrination. Gay and trans people are accepted in schools as equals, but they are not given special treatment, protected status, or permitted to run the show to place their interests on top.

The traditional values are also present later in the Filipina’s employment. While the levels of tradition vary by workplace and profession, there is no DEI, there are no protected groups, and there is no white man to conveniently blame for everything. The only thing that upsets the level playing field are connections of wealth and power … but not race and gender. The media is the most secular, but still a far cry from what passes for media in the United States. Media personalities do not openly embrace abortion and call it healthcare … or publicly condemn the church. The people and government wouldn’t stand for it.

United States

In the United States … public schools, colleges, and universities are nothing more than indoctrination camps for feminism and secular liberalism. There is no God, only identity politics and intersectionality. There is no tradition, only a twisted and perverted version of ideology that passes for science. Over 90% of college professors are liberals. Not only do they preach their ideology in the classroom, they make sure any conservatives are silenced. Thus, the young woman’s friends are almost all secular, liberal feminists as well. Including many of the young men. This provides them with plenty of social and peer affirmation of their liberal, non-traditional views. The peer pressure also quickly squashes anyone with a traditional view or values.

Corporate America is almost as liberal and man-hating as academic America. Hiring preferences go towards women. Women can have men fired at will with just one false accusation, never mind evidence. Men have been cowed into silence if they want to remain employed, or even out of jail. I personally experienced a department meeting where all white men were pressured to stand up and confess their inherent misogyny and racism.

The media is perhaps the most insanely feminist and liberal group in all of the Unites States. Actors, actresses, television hosts, directors, and what passes for “journalists” are almost all firmly in the liberal camp. They lie outright in the service of their ideologies and suppress any opposing views. Celebrities condemn, shame, and bully the entire nation with their unhinged tirades. Entertainment is tailored toward liberal secular values. Strong women, weak and incompetent men, racial divide, and the gay/trans agenda. All this at the expense of men and families. Indeed, they have redefined a family as something without a father.

Restraint

Philippines

The Philippine government and legal system have good and bad aspects, just like every other country. However, men have more personal freedoms here than in the United States. Courts don’t take 50% or more of a man’s assets and give them to a woman, along with alimony, whenever the woman decides to end the marriage because she is “not happy.” Indeed, you cannot simply end a marriage here. Fathers are not forcibly removed from their children’s lives and threatened with prison if they do not pay child support while the woman lives with another man. Women cannot game the court system to amass wealth through successive divorces.

Marriage vows are biblical before God, not secular before a magistrate. Divorce is not legal, except in rare cases. Divorce and child support are not money-making industries for lawyers, judges and the government. These traditional values force couples to take their vows and marital/parental roles seriously. To be clear, abuse of women is not tolerated. There are laws against it and men will be arrested for it. However, there must be evidence and witnesses. It cannot be done just on the woman’s word alone. In summary, the Philippine government and legal system restrain actions that damage family and traditional values. It is not weaponized for women to use against men.

United States

Conversely, the US government and legal system are massively biased towards women and against men. Women get free cash and prizes for destroying families. The divorce industry is huge business that generates over 50 billion dollars a year, almost all of it taken from men. Fathers are forcibly removed from families at the whim of women, who often level false charges at the men.  This keeps the men silent for fear of false imprisonment, and facilitates the family court’s transfer of even more assets from the man to the woman, judges, lawyers and government. The man is then further threatened with prison if he fails to pay monthly sums of child support and/or alimony for years to come. The government gets a cut of that too. Women do not face these issues in divorce. In the rare cases child support or alimony is levied against them, they can just ignore it and the authorities will do nothing.

False allegations against men are both common and rampant. Millions per year. They cost these men billions of dollars in legal defense fees, money also collected by a legal system complicit in this extortion. Men lose their jobs from false accusations and even have their careers destroyed entirely. The government and legal system have handed women a very powerful weapon with which to bludgeon men into submission. In the end, more and more men simply want nothing to do with women, seeing them only as a danger. Even worse, the government and legal system enable and promote women killing their unborn children, reframing it as a right and as healthcare. Thus, creating even fewer families and accelerating the liberal secular culture. In summary, the US government and legal system encourage and enable actions that destroy family and traditional values.

Conclusion

In the Philippines, you have a strong traditional foundation, followed up by strong traditional influences, and restraint against actions that threaten those strong traditional values. This combination produces strong traditional women (and men). Conversely, in the United States, you have little or no traditional foundation, followed up with the influence of aggressively pushed liberal values. Lastly, zero restraints against actions that destroy traditional values. In fact, destroying these values is encouraged and rewarded for half the population. This combination produces extremely liberal women (and feminized, beaten down men).

The Philippines has a lot of American social media, but still hasn’t fallen for the US liberal ideology. That’s not the overriding dynamic here. Culture, religion and family are all stronger than the social media. The US culture is pure hedonism and selfish materialism. The US religion is the secular liberalism. The US family has been destroyed by feminism and the legal system. The killing of millions of unborn US infants is declared “reproductive rights” and “healthcare.” Filipinas recognize this for what it is, depraved immorality. Most want nothing to do with it.

Destruction

The United States has destroyed the FOUNDATION. It destroyed family through divorce and feminism. It destroyed culture through post-modernism and liberalism. It destroyed religion through atheism. The Liberal/Feminist political groups have pushed all this and now enforce it.

With no foundation remaining, the INFLUENCE portion of society now exclusively creates the new woman. In the United States, that new woman is a liberal, radical feminist.

There is no RESTRAINT for women. The government and legal system encourage and reward liberal, feminist actions and ideology. The society strengthens and empowers this liberal feminist woman. This is why American women are so different from Filipinas. Not all women are the same.

Final Word

You will see and hear people cherry-picking one or two radical Filipinas to claim that Filipinas are exactly like Western women. Many of these critics have never even visited the Philippines, much less lived there. Others are a tiny handful of Filipinas who want to be Western feminists and therefore project the ideology. They are all wrong. The two biggest groups shrieking that “all women are the same” have their reasons. This hyperbole helps them cope with their ideologies. For the feminists, it helps them believe that they will eventually win all women over to their man-hating ideology. For the extreme MGTOW, it helps them believe that they will eventually win all men over to their woman-hating ideology. It is probable that both will fail.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Officially defined as policies and programs that promote the representation and participation of different groups of individuals. Except it doesn't include white men. It specifically excludes them while silencing them by calling them racist or misogynists if they object. It organizes traits of the rest of the people according to a notional victim status, with those higher up in the hierarchy gaining privilege at the expense of those below. Grifters calling themselves DEI experts and consultants have extracted millions of dollars from business and government offices promoting this divisive traitism. Reducing social cohesion makes people easier to control. Working in a diverse setting increases, rather than decreases, the breakdown of social trust, even within the same socio-economic class.

Men Going Their Own Way. A general philosophy (not a movement) of men focusing on themselves, rather than playing the rigged Western game of engaging with women and losing their assets and children to them through a legal system biased against men. As with all philosophies, there are some elements that are more radical.

Judging, elevating or favorably treating others by physical characteristics, or traits. Replaces racism due to the fact that there is only one race, human.

The overriding view that women are strong and independent, don’t need men, and are more competent and wiser than men. Men are to realize and admit that they are both inferior and toxic.

Giving too much attention and affection, whether through gifts, compliments, or acts of service as a way of seeking validation from someone else.

Instead of accepting responsibility and facing the uncomfortable situation head-on, the deflectors will try to move the focus from themselves, usually by passing the blame onto someone or something else.

Individuals are confronted with two choices, both of which have negative results. The choices are framed to produce an emotional response in the person, forcing them to choose or look bad. The individual will fail, no matter what choice they make. The abuser will use this as leverage to further manipulate the victim by depicting them as weak, flawed or ineffective.

The manipulative process by which individual or collective freedom of choice and action is compromised by agents or agencies that modify or distort perception, motivation, affect, cognition and/or behavioral outcomes. The person being mind controlled is not aware of the influence process, nor of the changes occurring within themselves. They believe they are acting according to their own choices.

A declaration of an intention or determination to inflict punishment, injury, etc. to frighten and emotionally force a person to do something.

The intentional manipulation of another person’s emotions to induce feelings of guilt. It is a form of emotional blackmail that is often designed to manipulate other people by preying on their emotions and making them feel responsible for something they are not.

Using sarcasm and put-downs to increase fear and self-doubt in the victim. Manipulators use this tactic to make others feel unworthy and therefore defer to them. Manipulators can make one feel ashamed for even daring to challenge them or say no.

Attempting to establish a perceived close bond with someone very quickly to overcome their natural caution and use them for money, resources or work. This is often involves a quick push for friendship or intimacy.

A manipulative tactic where someone portrays themselves as a victim to gain sympathy, attention, or caregiving. The goal is to make the person eliciting pity seem like a victim, which can make it easier to get what they want without being seen as a bad guy. This is because people are naturally inclined to help those they pity.

A woman is simultaneously a victim and empowered, until something happens. Then she chooses which state benefits her the most.

A Chad is a stereotypical alpha male. He is depicted as attractive, successful, muscular, cocky and very popular among women. He has a tendency to play the field and will not commit to any woman.

An enabler of a highly narcissistic person or someone with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). A flying monkey is an agent who acts on their behalf.

Projection involves taking an unacceptable part of oneself, disowning it, and placing it onto someone else. The manipulator describes the victim and paints them in a light that more accurately portrays the attacker himself.

Toxic amnesia is a tactic where the perpetrator pretends to not remember abuse, betrayals, lies, and other hurtful and dysfunctional behaviors they've engaged in. Its a form of gaslighting. Its purpose is to make you doubt your perceptions and memories.

Narcissistic rage can be triggered by various situations, such as criticism, perceived rejection, or being ignored. The reaction is often extreme and disproportionate to the event or comment, as the narcissist's fragile ego struggles to cope with the perceived attack on their self-image.

Triangulation is when a toxic or manipulative person, often a person with strong narcissistic traits, brings a third person into their relationship in order to remain in control. There will be limited or no communication between the two triangulated individuals except through the manipulator. It may appear in different forms, but all are about divide and conquer, or playing people against each other.

The action or practice of lavishing someone with attention or affection, especially in order to influence or manipulate them.

Cognitive dissonance refers to a situation involving conflicting attitudes, beliefs, or behaviors. This produces a feeling of mental discomfort leading to an alteration in one of the attitudes, beliefs, or behaviors to reduce the discomfort and restore balance.

To gaslight someone means to manipulate another person into doubting their own perceptions, experiences or understanding of events. ~ American Psychological Association

Because their sense of self is determined by what others think of them, narcissists use relationships for self-enhancement. Everyone must feed them. In addition, they seek validation and attention in their public and professional life. Other people are used as objects in order to provide their supply. For example, they may need constant compliments or applause, more status and money, or may check their appearance in the mirror several times a day. ~ Psychology Today

Fraud that targets people belonging to a particular community or group, typically that in which someone pretends to be a member of the group in order to gain the trust of others.

Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that ‘by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.’ And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector.

A religious leader uses valid verses or concepts from the Bible about following and obeying God to generate enthusiasm in people, then misdirects that obedience to himself as a representative of God. The group believes they are following and obeying God, but in reality are obeying the leader.

A fictional, exaggerated version of an opposing viewpoint, especially one that is intentionally created to be easy to dismiss or argue against and to make one's own argument seem stronger. Straw man arguments can be made unintentionally, but most are made on purpose to make the other side seem evil, incompetent, or extremist.

The religious leader distracts members from mentally registering what he is doing.  Screaming praise to God when something he proclaimed does not come to pass.  Acting like a bad thing is really a good thing.  Just keep talking and talking and talking, while ignoring that nothing is happening. It is the same thing politicians have done successfully for years.

The leader calls members flattering adjectives or nouns, like righteous, holy, or saint.  These are often vague and difficult to define, so the member feels the leader’s superior knowledge has recognized something good in them.  Conversely, if the leader later withdraws this praise, the member is eager to toe the line to recover it.

Manipulation of a person or group's emotions in order to make them believe something is factual (or false) in the absence of any evidence. The manipulator tries to draw on the recipient's inward feelings such as fear, pity, or joy with the goal of convincing them that the statements being presented are true or false.

Essentially a black-and-white worldview with the leader as the ultimate moral arbiter. This creates an atmosphere of guilt and shame, where punishment and humiliation are expected. It also sets up an environment wherein members spy and report on one another. Through submission to the guilt-inducing and impossible demand for purity, members lose their moral bearing.

The use of jargon internal to (and only understandable by) the group. Constricting language constricts the person. Capacities for thinking and feeling are significantly reduced. Imagination is no longer a part of life experiences, and the mind atrophies from disuse.

The process whereby the group becomes the ultimate arbiter and all nonbelievers become so-called evil or non-people. If these non-people cannot be recruited, then they can be punished or even killed. This process creates an us-versus-them mentality that breeds fear in followers who learn that life depends on a willingness to obey. This is when individuals merge with the group’s belief.
