Our civilization overvalues female outliers because it overvalues women, but specifically, because its worship of the feminine has caused the feminine to atrophy to the point where the average modal woman is genuinely less capable and impressive than her foremothers, because she's constantly saved from accountability, criticism and any other mode of discomfort or refinement that could hone her into being someone more capably respectable. And so when the rare women who are genuinely impressive despite the current social mileu, often exceptionally high IQ migrants, autists or in some other way differently configured women who defy conventional social programming manage to demonstrate prowess, the system overrewards it because it reinforces its own delusion: that she represents the idealised feminist conception of women as categorically superior: amazing, beautiful, brilliant, and that outlier woman over there, that one in 20,000 woman, yeah, she is proof of that. Great women are of course great women and deserve their flowers - but not at the expense of great men - the system as it currently is does not require a woman to be a feminist or even like feminism to benefit from it - only a pragmatist - and in truth if she is capable, she would be a fool not to take the opportunities companies and institutions throw at her that they will not give to our men. This inherent systematic bias towards favouring the feminine as a cultural consequence of the normalisation of feminism into societal institutions results in the subversion of meritocracy - that is, equally if not more talented and capable men are often passed over to favour a woman. We live in a culture that would rather praise and parade its women around in a graduation hat and gown for the fine optics of le progressiveism and carressing its own sentiments, rather than actually give hard working young men who have earned the right to be somewhere the chance to succeed and create something for themselves. Careers that should be given to men who will then use them to establish a financial foundation for the creation of family, are straight up being given to women, who then turn around and complain they cannot find a man at her level or better to start a family with. The fertility crisis has many inflection points which contribute to it - this is one of them. We would throw millions of capable men under a bus just so we can all give ourselves a collective pat on the back and sanctimoniously claim "we are oh so very supportive of women!" And this says nothing of the informal but very significant support young women receive due to the soft power of their sexuality, and the lustful desires of older institutionally established men that not all, but many women are willing to manipulate for their professional advancement. I can see why many young men are bitter and demoralised. I am of course not encouraging or endorsing their despair, but I do see how a system that feels rigged to arbitrarily punish them whilst laying out the red carpet for others, and allowing those they perceivably view as less capable than them to succeed more than them with less effort than them would sour them. The west constantly prattles on about hard work and letting the best man win, only to repeatedly choose someone in a skirt because that tickles its ideological sentimentality.
