That's an interesting point about the inversion of the principle of worship. It might also explain why these women, despite making lots of money, still feel they are somehow objectified.

The last paragraph can be discarded, he was clearly feeling his point.

The writing is self-help tier, that is, it is worthy of a good 4chan post, but nothing remarkable past that. It's very diluted, for one thing. The first ten lines could be easily rewritten in three or four, or could be made much more evocative with similar length. Also there's an obvious typo on the seventh words that reeks of pastaposting. Stopped reading at "REAL, ACTUALLY EXISTING HUMAN BEING", as it is a seriously meme tier way of highlighting contrast. Find a string of words that convey the extraordinary character of that contrast, or just use a simple "On the contrary", but highlighting the words like this is top cringe.

The spelling of "revolution", for one thing.
The idea that human were indistinguishable from animals before the agricultural revolution. It implies human are somehow not animals now (biologically false) or that agriculture is what uniquely makes them apart from other animal species (laughable, by that token humans became a different species at around 20000 BC and nomads who learn agriculture in one generation suddenly become human). A conjunction of traits like use of tools, articulate language, burial and religious rituals, bipedal walk and being primates are much better way of characterizing humans among animals.
Didn't bother to read further, it's the usual half-obvious half-stupid tripe where the best insights are taken straight from a highschool latin course.

He contradicts himself. His own argument is that institutions are only possible with cities, which are only possible by first having the institution of marriage. The other

The second problem is for marriage to be possible at all there must first be a notion of property, and a mechanism for the enforcement of property rights. That is, for patriarchy to exist, for women to be the property of men, the concept and institution of private property must first exist. So since marriage itself is rooted in a prior institution it is not the primary institution of civilisation.

I don't care, you asked what was wrong in that post. I listed two majors things in the first four lines, not counting the typo. That and the writing style is enough to know I'm dealing with a barely above average 4chan wanker (and we're talking average by 4chan standards).

The last paragraph is genuinely good writing and shows you have potential. The inversion concept is interesting but wasn’t expounded upon properly. The rest of it ranges from okay to extremely clumsy, you repeat yourself way too much. Like I said you have potential so keep practicing, and btw pretending that you didn’t write that so /lit/ contrarians would praise your mediocre writing is kinda cringe m8

Leftists like Magnus Hirschfield said the same thing and identified the sublimation of sexual desire as the foundation of reactionary politics. They saw free love as a part of communist praxis; this in itself lends credence to people on the other side who want to weaponize lust for rightist purposes

>denying the power of men's sex drive and competitiveness
This is why feminists are utterly stupid and arguing with them is utterly pointless, every time you ask them for alternative they just mumble some incoherent mess that only works in fantasy and not reality.
Now that you think about it, feminism is basically gender communism.
Both are retarded and go against human nature.

Children aren't obsessed with reproduction, it only starts at puberty, and by age 35 many of the smarter people have found more interesting things to do.
This idea that the drive to reproduction should be all-conquering is a meme. Evolution achieved its goal by making us want to fuck, that's all and for most of our history that was enough. Anything you do that's not conductive to fucking (like autistically devoting yourself to study, see Newton or Freud) means not following your "programming", which should be a hint that it's not that forceful a programming.
