[Aphorisms:] Taking Advantage (#1) of Cat/Calling; Conservative Politicians.

Advantage of cat-calling: Honesty.
By socially restricting cat-calling, a physically harmless practice, one incentivises men* to be flirts and seducers,

(*And women!)

and Language becomes a tool in the arsenal of politicians. We all live in the world of seductive appear-
ances to the point that even Republican rhetoric begins to make sense.

dm.A.A.

The game of conservative politicians is to make the interlocutor feel like he is just as much of a heart-
less, self-serving, isolated and hypocritical bastard as is the conservative, and by so doing the politician looks as though he were less of one.
This is indistinct from the game of psychological Mani-
pulation, which of course some 'liberal progressives' engage in but through the more feminine art of affect rather than cleverness.
Thank fully, simple logic exposes

the fallacies of both parties, and Superior Intellect lays them both to shame, but only before a re-
fined audience. Each will play to the pit in her own ways,
and each will try to either corner the interlocutor( in the case of the conservative) or make him look like a fool before the crowd (in the liberal example) by demon-
Stration of one's own power,
drawing either on the force of the Dominator Culture that the conservative tries to defend or the Reactionary Leftism that the other tries to impose.

The real question is, apart from any serious concern for the matters at hand:
Are you claustrophobic or agoraphobic? The claustro-
phobe will easily fall prey to the cornering conservative,
and the agoraphobe will be unable to address a field of liberals under an end-
less sky, for fear that they will disperse and leave one alone in one's field.
As Marion Woodman attested,
both the Masculine AND the Feminine can be exceptionally cruel.
