The warrior class ruled because it was bigger and stronger. But now, after
5000 years of rule by the alpha males, the brave heart, strong right
arm, sword in hand.... no longer cuts it.

And there were in some obscure situations in the past where warriors
were not able to dominate, and in them, we see the women take over.

Smith & Wesson guarantees equal rights for smart women. Smart women are
increasingly aware of the few times when women ran things, all the way
from neolithic Anatolia to the Mosou who still live in SW China. In
every case, the women used communal housing.

In today's world, this results in a far lower per capita carbon
footprint, and thus the cost of living for each of them would be far
lower. I am currently involved in helping some young women organize a
communal household. They can see the lower cost of living, and the
advantages of others being in the house to provide child care.

They dont mind not practicing monogamy. They see how sexual services
motivates men to cooperate with their agenda. And they have firearms to
make damn sure no jackass who thinks he should be in charge modifies
their priorities. They believe in the right to bear arms.

We already have 4 different pieces of paid off real estate, and now the
discussions deal with how to make the most money off them. Capitalism.
But since the profits wont be going to support the status symbols of an
alpha male ego owner, there's more focus on the rewards of re-investment
in the various business plans.

I had a conversation with one young woman a few days ago who sees that
Social Security will not be there for her. Taking a page from Lycurgus,
she sees that her future security lies in the competitive edge the kids
she can bear will have if she uses fertility clinic services to match up
her own DNA.

And of course, while the business, not a husband, provides the money to
support her and her kids, the commune will provide the childcare, the
mentoring, and the 'one room schoolhouse' scale home school to educate
them at a much faster rate than either the public schools or the limited
time she, as a mother, would have to do it herself.

This is pretty much the way the Mosou do things. 20-25 hours/week is
enuf to run the business, and give the mothers time to spend with their
own kids, who as they mature, will be taken into the business the same
as has always been done by other family owned businesses.

Only in this case, whereas before, the mother of the boss's son was a
sexy airhead, now the sperm donor will be selected on the basis of the
talent and character from the Y chromosome line.
