You are joking, right? A professor once said to me: "Don't start inventing words until you're as well acclaimed as Shakespeare." Especially in the English language, which has more words than any other, the chances that you actually need to invent a word as opposed to learn a new one are rather slim. Unless you do happen to rise to the level of someone like Joyce or Shakespeare, which I don't think even you think you do

Can these "what is the superior medium" meme threads please die? They're aesthetically degenerate.

>you're blinded by ideology
What "ideology" do you think possesses me? You think I'm a "liberal?" What you have done here is called "straw-manning."

>matriarchies are mostly confined to shithole African tribes
Let's cut out the "mostly," that's a vague qualifier people use to squirm their way out of making concrete points that can be attacked or defended. They (matriarchies) have existed on every continent, if not de jure at least de facto. Isabella of France changed the course of English history by staging a coup and assuming regency for the man who would first lay claim to the throne of France, Edward III.

>Women are always second-rate in intellectual pursuits.
Who are Rosalind Franklin, Hildegaard of Bingen, Simone de Beauvoir, Hannah Arendt, etc. Of course you'll discount them as "second-rate" because they are women, thus completing your circle of logic. "Women are always second rate intellectuals because anything produced by a woman is second rate," etc.

You seem to be the one who is "blinded by ideology." Enjoy dying alone on your couch, little Schopenhauer
