Tesla on Women and Marriage

[AlmostWonderfulParticipant 63]

From a thread I saw on another site:

“I had always thought of woman as possessing those delicate qualities of mind and soul that made her in her respects far superior to man. I had put her on a lofty pedestal, figuratively speaking, and ranked her in certain important attributes considerably higher than man. I worshipped at the feet of the creature I had raised to this height, and, like every true worshiper, I felt myself unworthy of the object of my worship.

But all this was in the past. Now the soft voiced gentle woman of my reverent worship has all but vanished. In her place has come the woman who thinks that her chief success in life lies on making herself as much as possible like man – in dress, voice, and actions, in sports and achievements of every kind. The world has experience many tragedies, but to my mind the greatest tragedy of all is the present economic condition wherein women strive against men, and in many cases actually succeed in usurping their places in the professions and in industry. This growing tendency of women to overshadow the masculine is a sign of a deteriorating civilization.

Practically all the great achievements of man until now have been inspired by his love and devotion to woman. Man has aspired to great things because some woman believed in him, because he wished to command her admiration and respect. For these reasons he has fought for her and risked his life and his all for her time and time again.

Perhaps the male in society is useless. I am frank to admit that I don’t know. If women are beginning to feel this way about it – and there is striking evidence at hand that they do – then we are entering upon the cruelest period of the world’s history.

Our civilization will sink to a state like that which is found among the bees, ants, and other insects – a state wherein the male is ruthlessly killed off. In this matriarchal empire which will be established, the female rules. As the female predominates, the males are at her mercy. The male is considered important only as a factor in the general scheme of the continuity of life.

The tendency of women to push aside man, supplanting the old spirit of cooperation with him in all the affairs of life, is very disappointing to me.”

Tesla was before his time. Feminism will ruin a civilization. The Bible does say that women were never to be in authority over men.

J.D.Unwin made the same observation about the same time, based on the 6 biggest of previous civilizations.

Tesla is more personal though. He thought women were caring angels to be reverently worshiped. He thought everything men did was for women.
His experiences and observations of women changed that completely.
He acknowledges the cruelty men will suffer under a matriarchal or gynocentric system as it implodes in on itself.

I can relate to that. I was going to say that women have become a sort of hybrid, not woman and not quite man. But then I realized that Tesla lived 1856-1943 and he was seeing pretty much the same things that I am.

So I guess there was never a golden time as far as quality of women goes.
