Quite a few years ago, I had the pleasure of watching the Dutch version of Survivor (Expeditie Robinson) with my feminist roommate. That particular season would have two islands, one populated by men and one populated by women. My roommate had been promoting that particular series to me and the other students in the house for weeks because it would show us, according to her, what a society run by women โ€“ free from the evils of patriarchy โ€“ would be like.

 

And it did. Oh it did.

 

Here is what happened: initially both groups were dropped on their respective islands, given some supplies to get started and left to fend for themselves. In both groups there was some initial squabbling as people tried to figure out a local hierarchy. The men pretty much did whatever they felt was necessary โ€“ there was no leader giving orders. Men who felt like hunting, foraging or fishing did so. Another guy decided he was fed up with sitting on sand and started making benches. Others built a hut that gradually grew and evolved. Another guy cooked every night. Within days a neat little civilization was thriving, each day being slightly more prosperous than the previous one.

 

The women settled into a routine as well. The hung up a clothesline to dry their towels, then proceeded to sunbathe and squabble. Because unlike men, women were unable to do anything without consensus of the whole group. And because it was a group of at least a dozen women, consensus was never reached. During the next few episodes, the women ate all their initial supplies, got drenched by tropical storms several times, were eaten alive by sand fleas and were generally miserable. The men on the other hand, were quite content. There were disagreements of course, but they were generally resolved.

 

Eventually, the people running the program decided something had to change. In order to help the women out, three men would be selected to go to their island. In return, three women would take their place at the menโ€™s island. The look on my feminist roommates face during this episode was priceless.

 

Initially, the three men selected for the womenโ€™s island were ecstatic, for obvious reason. But then they arrived at the island and were greeted by the women.

โ€˜Where is your hut?โ€™, they asked.

โ€˜We have no hutโ€™

โ€˜Where are your supplies?โ€™ they asked, dismayed

โ€˜We ate all the riceโ€™

And so on.

The three men ended up working like dogs, using all the skills developed by trial and error in their first few weeks โ€“ building a hut, fish, trying to get the women to forage. The women continued to bitch and sunbathe. The three women who were sent to the menโ€™s island were delighted โ€“ food, shelter and plenty of male attention was freely available. They too continued to sunbathe.

 

And that my friends, is what patriarchy is. My former roommate, unsurprisingly, is no longer a feminist.

 

Now this might all be a fluke, a white raven, an exceptional case not representative of society as whole. But that particular season of Dutch Survivor is not unique. CBS broadcast several Survivor seasons in the US, where men and women started off in separate groups. In most cases (the Amazon and One World), the result was the same. The men quickly got their act together, getting access to food, fire and shelter while the women spent a lot of time and energy on petty little squabbles, eating their meager supplies, getting drenched in storms and generally being pathetic. The opposite situation, where men didnโ€™t get their act together while women quickly built a functional micro society, has not yet been observed outside of feminist fiction, and it probably never will.

knew a lot of chinese during 8 yrs of grad school

made effort to befriend them and introduce them to fam & fren outside of academia

they were friendly and i liked them too, some more than others

but they are all guarded as opposed to open

they have a radically different ingrained sense of self and society

really big on formality

very driven to succeed

but not sure if it was for themselves, or for "the state"

>driven to beat youโ€ฆ

that's YOUR spin

i wouldn't say that

not at all

they were generally quick to offer assistance to anyone, chinese or not

they were/are decent people

just very concerned with social formality

they feel it is rude to show their true emotions

even among friends

that is a fundamental cultural difference

does NOT mean they want to dominate

stop being a BIGOT, bigot

>unlimited power and payload

NOTHING is unlimited

laws of physics still apply

even to new tech

even if they channel "free" energy from the universe

they're still constructed of ordinary matter

there are limits to the energy density those structure could handle

as for payloads

those are still constrained by VOLUME, even if not by mass

there were a few koreans who would hold their hand up in front of their face if they smiled or laughed, so you couldn't see

i get your point and i'm usually the one arguing it

i agree with "the Lord helps those who help themselves"

i'm being devil's advocate because your posts are not unambiguously clear

and there are always occasions when people are helpless and the only action available is prayer
