If You Deny Our Natures

... you can't write romance.

Sir Thomas Mallory's Le Morte D'Arthur is one of the original, archetypal works of romantic fiction. From it, we derive the model of the chivalrous man serving his lady. If you cannot comprehend the emotional ecosystem of Le Morte, you cannot recreate those relationships in real life. The relationships are not transactional, they are both primal and spiritual as the characters' needs are both primal and spiritual. Those needs have always existed and are the product of purposeful biology and evolution. Chivalry provides the cultural framework upon which civilized, mutually beneficial, mutually respectful romantic relationships are built.

When you watch videos of modern women despairing about their lives because they can't find a man so their needs are not being met and they're realizing that they will probably never be met, you hear them yearn for chivalrous men.

• I want a man who will open the door for me.
• I want a man who will walk on the outside of the sidewalk.
• I want a man who will pay for our dates.
• I want to feel protected and safe.
• I want a man who is decisive.

The women want a knight from Mallory, a man who will protect, provide and cherish. They want it to be second nature to him, not something they have to coerce out of him. They don't realize that their needs are themselves second nature to women. Their ignorance about their own needs exists because the culture that shaped them has lost its way and lives in a fantasy world of feminist twaddle.

In yesterday's post, I described how difficult it was to write Arthurian stories with AI, which is the embodiment of our culture.

Romance being timeless, you very quickly see how distorted our view of the world has become because the romance stories it tries to create do not work at all. The stories aren't believable because the women in the stories aren't worth the sacrifices the men are asked to make for them. Arthurian romances reveal this in stark relief because their setting is both primal and romantic...

Once AI went full feminine-agency, you couldn't keep going with the story. The men were chumps for ever having bothered with romance and they knew it. When they got back with their respective chums, they'd tell their stories and all the other knights would start re-thinking their own romances. If the chicks were going to wander off no matter what kind of sacrifices the knights made for them, what was the point of courtship at all?

Think about this: the ultimate avatar of our culture is incapable of writing the archetypal stories that are the fountainhead of the things the despairing women want and need. It is fundamentally wrong about our natures as men and women, so it constructs a model of romance-reality that is doomed to failure.

You can't build a complicated structure if your model of physics is badly flawed. If you try, you end up with collapse and ruin. You can't have strong, nurturing romantic relationships if you base them on angry, bitter, feminist lies about human nature. If you try, you end up with high rates of feminine depression. Which we have.

This is all the fault of the patriarchy and male oppression.

Women and men need each other in different, complimentary ways. We each have deep-seated needs that can only be filled by the other. You can deny that all day long, but it's still true.

As Andrew Klavan likes to say, art expresses truths about life. Mallory's stories of knights and ladies are enduring classics because they express truths about romantic relationships. The fact that AI cannot write such stories shows how our modern culture has lost the bubble when it comes to sexual dynamics. The raw data showing that this is true is all around us.

Meanwhile, we talk about changing the tax code or mandating DEI courses in college to address our social ills.
