This is generalized powerlessness. And it isn't imaginary. A young woman whom nobody is protecting, nobody is married to, who has no present father, who has no brothers, has a lot of VERY GOOD REASONS to be afraid.
Add to that an ideology that DENIES HER FEELINGS and says she should be a big, strong woman who doesn't need a protector, and she has two problems instead of one. Her fear, and her self-critical sense she should not have her fear.
This would make anybody insane.
Only white women are made to deny the obvious. The others are allowed to be scared.
Non-whites get to complain. White women are told they can't complain.
And their mother has a new man, not their father, and after a few drinks he may shoot her an eyeball. Now she has no mother, either. She has nobody.
She's not crazy, she's under attack, but unlike in war, she has been issued no rifle.
I like your response. Fuck if I know what to do about it, but I like your response.
Find a woman who is so miserable at work, and so fed up with social scenes, that she is ready to hide behind a man, and defend and value that arrangement.
A better adjusted girl with friends will cave when her women friends and relatives say, 'oh he's not so great.' Which nature makes them say. That is how women compete reproductively.
It's a jungle out there.
Maybe the lonely girls are good material.
But don't help her spruce up, lose weight, bleach her hair. That is how to lose her.
As society has taken your wife, you might have to find a wife who is outside society.
