Book said,
“…it has simply led to women being kidnapped and raped in greater numbers as there are more and more men in need of feminine companionship … women, instead of being valued for their rarity, are being fought over and destroyed like the toy in the center of a violent tug of war.”

Book, I believe that *resources* are valued for their scarcity. Resources become property, and the rarer they are, the more costly. The examples you cite above do indicate that rarity is occurring.

However, we are discussing human beings here. The differences between “a culture of life” and “a culture of death” are often ridiculed. I believe they are important. The wholesale destruction of people, whether via abortion or other means, devalues human dignity and the worth of human lives. Paradoxically, as a result, the scarcity of women then leads to them being treated with contempt, because they are NOT valued.

When government enforces this culture of death, it is also violating individual dignity and individual rights. The devaluation of the worth of the individual never has good outcomes either.

I read recently (I can’t remember the author) about the positive correlation between extra men and wars. It is scary.

If you watch CDR Salamander’s youtube post about young Muslims and the Hijab, you will see something interesting in what the interviewer said.

HIs proposal is that women should wear the hijab because the difference between the jewelry that the store allows you to touch and the jewelry that the store has under lock and stock is that the jewelry guarded and hidden is more valuable.

That’s right. Women are nothing but property, to be bought and shown off as jewelry. Thus the “less” of it there are of women, the more valuable they do become, Book, yes, but it doesn’t make them human or deserving of human rights.

This is a problem, not only in China, but in Muslim dictatorships, as well, where Muslims have been kidnapping Christian girls and forcing them to convert and marry against their wills. In fact, anywhere that women have no voice, no value, they are raped and forced to marry against their wills. This is what follows: Tyranny is a molecular thing. The dictator who terrorizes his top echelon in Haiti produces thugs like the Ton Ton Macoute and Les Chimières. (A police force so corrupt that they break into the homes of the poorest and rape the women in front of their terrified husbands and family members…just because they can.) I choose Haiti as an example, because it was our government who established a Communist dictator there, creating a flood of refugees deposited on our shores.
My point is this: Tyrannies, whether Muslim or secular destroy down to the family level. We don’t realize what we have here in this country, and we won’t until we’ve lost it.
