Never seen anybody posted Evola's brutal passage from Ride the Tiger. Women are in much deeper trouble than men:
In an inauthentic existence, the regime of diversions, surrogates,
and tranquilizers that pass for today’s “distractions” and “amusements”
does not yet allow the modern woman to foresee the crisis that awaits
her when she recognizes how meaningless are those male occupations
for which she has fought, when the illusions and the euphoria of her
conquests vanish, and when she realizes that, given the climate of dis-
solution, family and children can no longer give her a sense of satisfac-
tion in life. Meanwhile, as a result of diminished tension even man and
sex can no longer mean a great deal to her; they cannot be her natural
center of existence as they were for the traditional absolute woman, but
can only be of value as one ingredient of a diffused and externalized
existence, no more important than fashion, sport, a narcissistic cult of
the body, practical interests, and so on. The destructive effects so often
produced in modern women by a mistaken vocation or warped ambi-
tions, and also the force of circumstances, enter into the equation. Thus,
when the race of true men is also nearly extinct, and modern man has
little left of virility in a higher sense, there is little point in the saying
about the true man’s capacity to “redeem,” to “save the woman within
woman.” There is more of a danger that a true man today, in many
cases, might find appropriate another maxim, that spoken by the old
woman to Zarathustra: “Are you going to women? Don’t forget your
whip!”9 —if it could be applied with impunity and fruitfully in these
progressive times. The possibility of restoring to sex, even sporadically,
its elementarity, its transcendence, and perhaps even its danger in the
context mentioned, appears very much prejudiced by all these factors.
