"THEY JUMP!"

“HONEY, WHY DO YOU JUMP LIKE THAT?
LOOK AT THAT HYSTERIC! SHE JUMPS AT A DROP OF A PIN!
SHE IS PARANOID – CONSTANTLY TURNS AROUND AND LOOKS SCARED!
WHY ARE YOU SO EDGY?
MY WIFE IS A NERVE WRECKED HYSTERICAL
WOMEN HAVE WEAK NERVES
WOMEN ARE UNABLE TO CONTAIN THEMSELVES
WOMEN DON’T KNOW HOW TO CONTROL THEMSELVES
WOMEN HAVE A WEAK PSYCHE”

I am sure each and every one of you has sometimes, somewhere heard one or more of these expressions. Ever wondered where they came from? What gave rise to these observations and often observations put as accusations? What is going on? Why do men take that much care to observe the behavior of a woman, to record it, and to give it names? Why not feel bad and wonder: why does she act this way? Why react as if this behavior is expected, and moreover, one is glad that it has happened?...
Well, the bad news is that these observations are not off at all. In fact, they are dead on. Women are hysterical. They do jump at the drop of a pin. They cry “for no reason", loose their temper and yell and break shit.
Right.
But how come even at times where people apply psychology to everything, the times of nowadays, people, somehow, have failed to apply psychology to this case? Why did people not try to understand why women act this way? Why do people not rationalize women’s “crimes” away like they rationalize the murder by a Black man (poor economic conditions), the cheating of a rich and famous husband (it’s her fault; boyz will be boyz), the incredible swap of technology and removal of all normal human ways of living (global economy, along with global warming, is good for you!). Why if a culprit is a woman, there is never even so much as a contemplation as to the reason of her behavior but always a scream – “aha! told you so, what do you expect, a woman!”? Why is it that no matter what a woman does or why, if it looks like it’s out of a flat line of home-humble work-childbed, it gets leveled out with an immediate “a woman: either ulterior motives or stupid, weak creature”? Why do people not sit around and discuss why is it that she jumps at a drop of a pin? Also, if people know psychology so well, don’t they know that people jump because they are unnerved? And people become hysterical and are not born hysterical? And when someone does something to a person to make her hysterical, how come she gets blamed for the atrociousness that is done to her and not the one who does it to her? Why does the person who fell victim to bad people, gets blamed? By an application of that logic we should blame: Jews for German Holocaust, Kurds for Turkish genocide, Iraqi people for Saddam’s Hussein’s reign of terror, Russian serfs for their serfdom, rape victim for its rape, killed innocent person for her or his murder, construction worker for an accident incurred because of defective equipment, Nixzmary for her death, Joan-Bennett Ramsey for her murder, Martin Luther King for his shooting, John F. Kennedy for his death, blown up bus for the bomb that killed it, etc, etc. How come that when we deal with the condition a woman is found in, a condition that is encountered in medicine, psychology and can be derived by a simple common sense,a condition that is not self-induced but produced in them – weakened nerves, hysteria, fear, we do not seek to neither know nor see the cause, through a simple tracing of the facts and a simple observation, but present the condition as a “proof” of inferior character and lack of ability to self govern and govern. Why do we not look into the causes of women being harassed and abused to a point that they loose it? We go to the moon and back to conceive of a possible explanation, when if we just used the frameworks of the accusations we are making, we would come to understand, and heal? Why do we not claim sadism as sadism when the matter concerns women? Why do we not call torture “torture” when the matter concerns women? Why do many people and very often with incredible joy watch some poor woman loose it and break down, and then add to others and themselves how despicable she is, how disgusting? What is this hatred of someone who is apparently so good and so sensitive that she induces the worst type of sadism on her? By the way, sadists love to torture innocent and good people, it is a proven fact. Smart, intelligent and sensitive people are not going to be able to hold out from sadism, but will either break down or or kill themselves.
Why when people observe the signs of hysteria in a woman they say: you work too hard, time to rest, what are you doing, and never say – my God, who did this to you? Why? How dare they? Why do people take it as a matter of fact that woman has weak nerves, breaks down and becomes sick? Why is this expected that young and strong human animal cannot take life? Why is life created, that a woman cannot take? Why are questions not asked but accusations are made instead?...
So, I will answer. In order to achieve the state of hysteria, a woman must be harassed. And what can harass a person? Well, how about a general state of things that would harass any sane person: lack of certainty in the immediate surroundings every day, day to day, anywhere and everywhere. A woman is constantly on demand and on the tongue and mind of men. She is flattened out and stretched out in the man's world, like a piece of cloth on a canvas.
Nowhere is she safe.
Nowhere is she a person.
Anywhere she is accessible to men.
Anywhere her peace, her thought, her dreams, her becomin could be interrupted.
She could be sitting in a cafeteria, reading, and jokes and comments may are made about her. She could be buying something in the store, and jokes and comments will be made about her. She could speaking on the podium on something true and real, and jokes and comments may be made about her.
She could be painting a masterpiece, and jokes and comments may be made about her.
So what, you will say? And the catch is where?
-You say: you say "may." “May” is not certainty.
Precisely so. The fact that she could be spoken about and to any time, anywhere, and by anyone makes the woman’s position precarious and uncertain all the time. The fact that there is no knowing when you will be harassed and by whom makes one unable to prepare or defend oneself. That means that a woman must be at all times, even among friends and family tense and watching out. She can never go into anything in depth (and as we know any mastery is only achieved if one is able to go into depth and perfect one’s craft) because she can be interrupted any time, anywhere, by anyone. And since it is extremely painful to be yanked out from the depth of one’s thought or reverie (as those of you who think or contemplate know and could relate), the woman’s body prevents her from receiving a shock and pain over and over again and once her system learns that there will be no peace her body does not let her focus dully but force her to remain on the surface all the time. So, thus, she becomes stupid, like slaves were made stupid. Always on the look out, always watching out, always looking, always protecting, never safe, never a human being. Never. EVER.
You would say: problem solved. So, because men harass her she cannot develop and become smart, but so what?... What does this have to do with her being hysterical?
-And the fact that harassment is very painful. When someone you don’t know feels entitled to speaking to you and can do so at any time, anywhere, when people discuss your sexual organs and what they will do with them, when people talk about you as if you were an inanimate object and they owned you, when your work of art, writing or mathematics get to be reduced to something low because you are a woman and their merit is never acknowledged nor looked upon, and then you see your ideas being stolen and floated around by other people, when any phrase that you say, any walk you walk, any nod of the head that you make is lunged upon and analyzed, analyzed, analyzed, when your cloth are analyzed, your shoes are analyzed, when your breasts are analyzed, when your vagina is analyzed, when your reading material is analyzed, when you looked at, looked at, looked at;
spoken to, spoken to, spoken to;
spoken at, spoken at, spoken at;
forced, forced to respond or bear to be called “bitch”, “whore” and some other words;
when you can’t walk in peace, live in peace, eat in peace but always and ever bothered and harassed your system undergoes a continuous stress. Why? Because as a human being, woman does not like to be treated this way. Her body does not like to be treated this way. These things make the psyche and the mind and the body, sick.
She does not like to be harassed.
Who does?
What system does?
Man will never do what he does to a woman, to his computer, car or watch. He will not start and re-start computer, open up miltiple windows, improperly shut down the system or spill coffee and leave crumbs on his key board. He will kill a teenager who scratches some graffitti on his new car. He spends his weekened polishing his car, washing it and sitting in it. He wipes its seats and checks its engine. He spends hours under the hood. He buys a new stereo system and he hones it. He does not let party people to get to close to it: they can knock it out. Being knocked out is bad for the stereo system and it can break, therefore, do not approach it. Man vigilantly watches over his car, his stereo system, and his computer. He understands that things can break and can never work again the same way.
And a system of a human body? A system that hosts a most precious soul? A system that keeps him in the world and allows for the world to continue?
Woman, then. Woman, because she knows that the abuse can happen to her anywhere and anytime, her system gets mobilized as a system of any human for a “fight or flight” response. And even that much she is unable to perform:
if she fights she is a crazy bitch,
if she flights she is insane, and where will she flee? From society? As I said, that harassment happens ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE. AND ANYTIME. But the system still produces flight or flight hormone – adrenaline. And a continuous stress makes the body turn against itself and devour itself for maintenance of adrenaline levels, producing the hormone cortizol. Cortizol is extremely damaging to the body. It acid-like burns the cells away, ages the body and devours nervous cells. So, the woman is literally eaten up from the inside by the boyz club. The vampirical, merciless and parasitic entities in human bodies that make it their constant pursuit to harass women and girls.
And if you were to say earlier that only woman’s development will become a victim to harassment by men (as if a mental and evolutionary development of a human being, purposefully stumbled and slowed down is not already enough a reason to do something about the situation), now you know that it is not the case. Woman’s body, as well as mind, and correspondingly her soul (for what soul can live in a sick body, led by a sick mind? Not a healthy one, I safely assume) suffer from harassment. She does not progress and remains a primitive creature, stupefied and kept like a breeding animal and a sexual slave. Why does a man have a desire for a slave? Apparently he is sick himself, and not a superior being he would have us all believe he is.
But what assists the harassment of the woman, one may ask? First and foremost, the most limiting definition of a word “woman”. Not only the word itself contains little reality and care for woman’s needs, it also provides for a very few roles to allow a proper and holistic development. A “woman” basically means: a sexual creature who bears children to human males, is stupid, weak, primitive. Out of those premises stems conclusion that anything can be done to them – they are like cows (not incidentally woman are called by animal names – “cow”, “chick”, “bitch”) and won’t feel anything any way, one is absolved from a moral responsibility because “they” are not really human, and one can get away with it because “she” is stupid and no one cares for “them” anyway. So, the definition is a key to allowing people to see a woman as something that is for their purpose and consequently as something that has to be shaped and beaten in order to serve that “purpose” properly. Also, the definition of a woman implies a definition of non-humanness and correspondingly all things one may be expected to do with a human and to a human are irrelevant in a case of a woman.
Woman exists to procreate and to please sexually.
She is not human.
I do not bear responsibility for what I do to her.
Also, the definition of a “woman” implies the definition of a man. And a man is defined as “superior creature” and superior creature can do no wrong. Woman is defined by him, in relation to him, never by itself, and in relation to herself. And so, together, the two definitions translate into reality and spin out the reality where man’s penis is king, a woman is a slave and can be murdered, raped or at least harassed with impudence.
And so, today, who really can be a “woman”? Either a very stupid creature unable to know oneself and see the reality proper, or a very devious creature able to humiliate herself and deny herself everything normal for a dubious promise of power.
