Every time I’m about to follow up on my Case for Sexism, with my case against hard-sexism (sex-discrimination totalism - dysgenic effects) I get the feeling I haven’t really given the hard-sexists enough of a hearing yet. Let me see if I can quench it, by skipping all the way into misogyny to explain to my dear female readers, the kind of sentiment about women hard-sexism exists to avoid confronting.

Imagine you were an overly analytical sociopath. And while you knew there were people not like you in the world; your theory of mind was that most people were like you. How would you behave? Well you would still need other people (friends), but you would be relatively sure that --- much like you, they weren’t actually concerned for your wellbeing and would take the first opportunity to abandon you when things got tough.
If they didn’t and couldn’t actually care about you, just like you didn’t really care about them --- how to ensure their loyalty when you’d come to need them?
Well, you’d gossip with them about other people and then exchange all your deep dark secrets with them --- creating in effect a suicide pact --- “Come to my aid when I need you or, when I have nothing else to lose, I’ll leak your secrets and take you down with me.”
Bonding experiences would thereby be mostly about sharing feelings, but note, no constructive criticisms would be received well. And they wouldn’t even be given for no one would expect them to be taken well. After all, every constructive criticism is genuinely self-sacrificing in a way. Your “friend” may improve, but may be so offended as to cut off the friendship.” Constructive criticism really is self-sacrificing and no psychopath would ever truly sacrifice for a friend.
So If you could never imagine truly sacrificing for a person you care about, and thought no one else would, all constructive criticism would be taken as destructive criticism. As an attempt to lower your status. To embarrass and humiliate you, even if no one else was around.
Your “friendship” group would actually just clap at everything you did, tell you that every romantic partner you expressed a doubt about wasn’t really good enough for you (even if they knew it was, or better). Tell you that you were always right in every conflict, every struggle, every decision you ever made. Even if anyone could tell, from the briefest observation that you were destroying your life 1.
Now what if you weren’t yourself a psycho and as such found this all jarring…
Most atypical women selected into my reading pool can, I suspect; recognize the kind of ominous feeling I’m describing. Beyond simply having unusually male-brained interests, they often come into spaces like these, at least initially, seeking an escape from a social world that seems fundamentally fake. Find a male partner and some similarly atypical female friends within it, and our atypical gal has escaped it.
But the kind of man who feels this way can almost never escape as these women are… well, atypical. Most of my male readers will, to the extent that they marry, have to marry into fake-world. Most of their male friends will as well. It will necessarily have a hold on them. And so the only question left is, how to have a healthy loving relationship with a denizen of fake-world without it consuming your entire world?
Their answer of course is… Maximize the exclusion of women from public life so more of your world can be secured, and take away women’s rights generally.
Sadly, for you my weird ‘scientific-racism-reading-actually-like-my-phd’ gals, your rare male-brained ambitions are an unfortunate likely casualty of the Hard-Sexist’s desperate need for love. Luckily for you, FR is in good standing with the Council of Hard Sexism and will receive honorary Male passes for all his female founding subs just in case he loses the coming debate on how Hard-Sexism is dysgenic.

This behavior is of course more attributable to magical positivity thinking rather than analytical sociopathy... Magical positivity thinking is naturally turbocharged in a sex with such a poor understanding of physical cause and effect. See The Case for Sexism for examples.
Any such woman actually reading this already knows this and is happily married to a very lucky guy.
(Or is gay and married to a similar woman.)
I am a hard sexist. I am engaged to be wed to a woman of no small accomplishment in her field as a medical doctor. She has no place in politics, nor does any other woman. When I attend my the male-only debate club in the major metropolitan area in which I live, women are in attendance but do not contribute. They cannot contribute to the debates in a meaningful way (not just because they aren't allowed to) but they are there. Some are there as partners to the members but many of them are young, attractive professional women looking for a high-value partner.
Hard sexism is not dysgenic, it is a prerequisite for proper male hierarchies to allow the most eugenic men to rise to the top. Wherever powerful men congregate, attractive women will not be far behind to try to peel off the top. Allowing them to partake in any male activity destroys the hierarchy and prevents this from occurring.
