Heterofatalism?

(Hint: men should read this – what new thing females are cooking up)

An article by Bianca Farmakis in today’s Australian is titled What Women Really Want. Then comes a subheading: The huge cultural sex shift we all missed. Then a brief description of the article:

‘Steamy gay male romances like Heated Rivalry and Pinion are not anomalies: women in their millions now prefer to watch men loving men on screen [presumably she means men having sex]. But what does this new “heterofatalism” reveal about female desire – and where will it lead?’

I suspect it reveals something bad about men – it’s always something bad about men, these days. And God knows to what catastrophe it will lead. My interest was piqued, and I did some searching. I found this article on Mentalzon:

What Is Heterofatalism and Why Does It Matter?

It’s a feeling that settles in quietly at first, then all at once: a profound, weary disappointment with men in the landscape of modern dating. This isn’t just about one bad date or a single failed relationship. It’s a deeper state of emotional exhaustion, a collapse of hope that has been named heterofatalism. This term captures the fatigue many women feel when their desires for a serious, emotionally invested partnership repeatedly crash against a wall of indifference. It’s not an organized movement, but a shared, unspoken sigh of resignation echoing in a world of shifting social norms and growing pressures.

The Roots of a Modern Malaise

The term itself is relatively new, first coined as “heteropessimism” by researcher Asa Seresin in 2019 to describe a general disappointment with the opposite sex. It has since evolved to more specifically articulate the female experience of disillusionment. The idea quickly found its footing in mainstream conversations, resonating with countless women who felt their experiences were finally being given a name.

This feeling isn’t confined to one corner of the globe; it’s a sentiment that crosses cultural boundaries. At its heart is a mismatch of expectations. Women may hope for emotional cornerstones like support, attention, and care, only to find their partners seem unwilling or unable to provide them. This isn’t just about grand romantic gestures; it’s about the fundamental building blocks of a healthy connection. When even these basics are missing, the result is a slow burn of despondency and resentment.

Of course, this dissatisfaction is a two-way street. Men, too, often express frustration, feeling judged against impossible standards. A cycle of mutual resentment can take hold, with both sides raising their guard and their expectations. But here, we’ll focus on the specific phenomenon of female disappointment and where it stems from.

Grace Tame autistic

Here’s another view of Grace Tame. Among other deficits, the video claims that Tame is autistic. Now, one is not named autistic for nothing. There must be something that distinguishes an autistic person from the average person who does not suffer from this state. After all, there are special schools and government strategies to support such people.

A fair question is to what extent autism affects Tame’s wild, uncontrolled behaviour, behaviour denouncing the nation that gave her the Australian of the Year Award.

Grace Tame – Overlooking sexual violence as a tool of war

Grace Tame came to the public’s attention through a case of sexual abuse. Her struggle for justice earned her the Australian of the Year award. In the video below, Chris Kenny interviews the Deputy Foreign Minister of Israel. Minister Sharren Haskel asserts that Tame’s call to globalise the Intifada implicitly excuses the barbaric 7 October attack during which sexual violence was a tool of war.

Serious questions should be asked about Tame’s state of mind.

The ABC defends racism

Hugh Marks, ABC CEO, demonstrates here that the government-funded ABC is hopelessly and unapologetically in the control of the rabid Marxist left and that a responsible, fair-dealing government would withhold funding until the ABC is reorganised to fulfil its charter to cater to all sections of the Australian community.

The future of the ABC should be at the top of the list of priorities of parties wishing to govern Australia. There is much work to be done on this.

Grace Tame – her friends should be worried

Grace Tame’s frequent manic outbursts provide a worrying record. Her shrieking ‘from Gadigal to Gaza globalise the Intifada’ in front of Muslim flags, Muslim fanatics, Marxist maggots, like Josh Lees, and sundry leftist crackpots in front of Sydney’s Town Hall should have her family and friends consulting psychology specialists. Any normal person watching would have grave concerns about her mental balance.

Helen Andrews’ article in Compact

Helen Andrews’ article, The Great Feminization, in Compact’s online magazine exploded on the internet in October 2025. Commentaries and interviews with Andrews followed rapidly. I will post links following this post. It is curious that, for the first time, I recently came across this quote from George Orwell’s 1984:

“It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy.”

Coincidentally, I recently found this shocking demonstration of the fundamental difference between male and female moral and political thinking HERE.

How many of us have had to give up talking to a screaming, overwrought female, as here with this poor man?

The Great Feminization

Helen Andrews, COMPACT, 16 October 2025

In 2019, I read an article about Larry Summers and Harvard that changed the way I look at the world. The author, writing under the pseudonym “J. Stone,” argued that the day Larry Summers resigned as president of Harvard University marked a turning point in our culture. The entire “woke” era could be extrapolated from that moment, from the details of how Summers was cancelled and, most of all, who did the cancelling: women.

Liza’s Journey: Australia in the Sixties, Part 2

Mervyn Bendle, Quadrant, Dec 13 2025

The Great Chasm. As we saw in the first installment of this series, Liza was beginning her university studies as a ‘great chasm’ had opened up between the optimism and self-belief of the broad mass of Australians and the nascent Intelligentsia, which was invariably critical of its own country. It appears this split had its origins in the tendency of frontier and nation-building societies, like Australia, to value pragmatism and the ability to engage productively with the concrete here-and-now, rather than be pre-occupied with more abstract matters like culture, ideology, and theories. This nation-building was exemplified in the post-war period by massive immigration, the Education Revolution, and colossal infrastructure development, spearheaded by the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Scheme (1949-74).

The Australian Legend. Such activity saw the resurgence of nationalism, a native intellectual tradition that found much to be valued in Australian history and culture. The key text was The Australian Legend (1958) by Russel Ward, which argued that the shared hardship that characterised Australia’s convict and mining origins and the ‘frontier experience’ of the outback bushman had generated a heritage of egalitarianism, co-operation, and mateship that had manifested itself in the Anzac tradition, and was being called upon again in the post-war period as Australians undertook the immense task of transforming their country into a thriving modern nation. This ‘origin story’ of Australian history became very influential while Liza was at university, and later became a hated target of the New Left. This radical neo-Marxist cohort was a by-product of Australia’s passage into post-industrialism, and especially of the Education Revolution, and it quickly established a stranglehold over Australia’s intellectual life and culture.

Mass Immigration. As a nation-building country, Australia benefited greatly from the turmoil in post-war Europe. The Iron Curtain had descended, condemning most East Europeans to a totalitarian fate; 8 million Germans were driven from their homes as their devastated nation was chopped in two; Italy, Greece, and of Yugoslavia were in chaos, and Britain was on the verge of bankruptcy. Massive numbers of migrants began streaming out, determined to start life afresh ‘down under’, including 170,000 Displaced Persons (or ‘refos’ as they were affectionately known). Most were assisted by the Federal Government on the basis that they agreed to stay for at least two years and work in the jobs available. Many found work with the Snowy Mountains Scheme (and incidentally  pioneered the snow-skiing industry in Australia). Others opened shops and businesses, worked in department stores, factories, heavy industry, or as labourers and farmhands.

Be afraid of flying

Females head up Australia’s two biggest airlines. One of those female CEOs has publicly stated that she will follow quota guidelines for recruiting airline staff, including pilots. Pilots will be chosen based on identity rather than competence.

Sorry, I’m not stepping onto a plane without knowing who’s flying it. That will probably never happen again.
