1999, Saint Martin’s Griffin, NY, pages 29-60

Lionel Tiger is an academic who was looking into medical and surgical effects on male-female bonding and reproduction, when, during lunch, he overheard two hipster women in a Greenwich Village eatery and one admitted to having sex with numerous “losers,” men she would not have sex with if she were able to find a man of the type she is programmed to desire.

Tiger is the Charles Darwin Professor of anthropology at Rutgers University, writes well in an easy style, does not seem as hidebound in liberal assumptions as most in his field and foot notes his work extensively. He has taken heat from female colleagues in suggesting that male-bonding is of social importance and different from female bonding. The major thrust of his argument in The Industrial Body, is that industrialism itself took the human being further from its primal roots than any ideology, religion or culture and that the tampering with female biology—predominantly via the use of chemical contraception—has had such wide-ranging effects on the modern person as to form an entire field of study.

Tiger martials facts as required, not just burying the reader under statistical and clinical information, but using them to develop the discussion. This is especially helpful as The Decline of Males, published in 1999, was released on the very dawn of this nation’s emasculation, of America transformed from a male construct into a female construct, with the 911 attacks two years later—the removal of America’s twin phallic symbols—and the increasingly strident demands by academics, politicians and various political constituencies that the agency of individuals within this nation must be reduced and their hopes laid upon the collective, most importantly in the matters of freedom of speech and self-defense.

I find Tiger’s work highly useful and will retain this book as a reference. Some of the facts he presents during the course of his thesis [but one of eight concept-development essays] are:

Neanderthals crafted a flute in Slovenia between 43,000 and 67,000 years ago and were definitely using fire in cave rituals by 47,000 B.P.

-That U.S. Marine Recruits entering the academy have abnormally low testosterone, an effect of the emasculating introduction, yet once these men have been reformed mentally by the Marine Corp, they graduate with abnormally high levels of testosterone, pointing to the extreme importance of male-bonding rituals.

-The fans of winning teams have higher testosterone levels than the fans of losing teams, which may go some way toward explaining the addiction of emasculated men to spectator sports and fandom in general.

-At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, 30-50% of marriages occurred during pregnancy [as did that of my maternal grandparents.]

Just like women working closely unconsciously synchronize their menstrual cycle, the use of the pill—which induces an artificial chemical pregnancy—affects relationships between women, not just between men and women.

-Women on the pill—like pregnant women—are less likely to be raped, and an ovulating woman is more likely to be raped.

-Stepfathers are 100 times more likely to abuse their stepsons than fathers are to abuse their biological sons.

-Across the Western World births to unwed mothers have jumped between 1962 and 1990 from:

25% to 59% in Iceland [ x 2 +]

3% to 9% in Italy [ x 3]

7 to 35% in France [ x 4]

7% to 30% in the U.S. [ x 4 +]

11% to 53% in Sweden [ x 4 +]

9% to 49% in Denmark [ x 5 +]

5% to 29% in Canada [ x 5 +]

2% to 12% in Holland [ x 6]

5% to 32% in Britain [ x6 +]

The above numbers amount to familial suicide and rates of emasculation in direct correlation to the crude scale I have arranged in brackets to the right of Tiger’s numbers, which were not so arranged, but presented randomly. I am not current on the levels of emasculation, family death and cultural atomization outside the U.S. estrogen pond. But I expect to find correlations. Indeed, Britain has suffered the most family death and emasculation and is the only nation I know of listed above whose capital city is now administrated by a non-indigenous mayor. In 1998 one half of Great Britain’s real James Bond spies in MI5 were women. These are only two facts but do suggest a path of inquire.

-By 1985 in the U.S. 42% of white girls and 90% of blacks were pregnant as children, indicating that these same percentages would form a reliable baseline for emasculated 31-year-olds in 2016.

The Left’s greatest victory may have been the removal of the father from the household occupied by the son, where he may expect negation at female hands and brutalization at the hands of his mother’s paramours.

Tiger concluded, in 1999, that women were employing a strategic, managerial sense of sexuality. He was shocked by the candor of the women in the eatery. I have recently heard from a woman who was not offended by presidential candidate Donald Trump’s rough talk about women, who, as if agreeing with Tiger, said, “You ought to hear us women talk about you men. Let me tell you, Sugar, it’s not pretty.”

What does Lionel Tiger conclude about the effects of industrializing the female body on the male psychology?

“How have men responded? To judge from their behavior—as mates, as voters, as fathers—repeated denigration of their moral worth has generated among men resentment, irritation, demoralization, and confusion.”

I highly recommend Lionel Tiger’s The Decline of Males and suggest it as a basic text on emasculation.
