From Hell is a speculative fiction comic by Alan Moore, where Jack the Ripper is a surgeon, Dr. Gull, who is ordered by royalty to kill a few prostitutes that were planning to blackmail royalty with evidence of a royal bastard child.
Late in the comic is an almost literal couchtrip by Alan Moore where Dr. Gull lays out the pagan history of England, involving the killing and degrading of the mythical goddesses, leading to the supposed subjugation of the entire female gender in the modern “patriarchy.” Dr. Gull presents himself as an agent of this patriarchy, but all of the dialogue is of course spoken purely from a feminist, it’s a several page screed about the murdering of innocent women and gynocentric mythology being somehow suppressed by phallic symbolism (obelisks and spires throughout British architecture, though no mention of doorways somehow being symbolic of females if a spire is symbolic of males).
In a way, this conspiracy spew is part of the mindset of the foundation of “patriarchy theory.” Which as it turns out is more mythical than the gods and goddesses.
Naturally, From Hell is written at an attempt of recreation of the late 1800s, but it can still only be written from the perspective of the 1990s, so no matter how well researched it is, it still comes from a modern mind, and especially from an era that is far more conspiratorial and sweaty for conspiracies than any other time in history. Alan Moore writes this passage of the book quite skillfully, laying out a long bloody brutal history of England and London, tying in mind bending conspiracies upon conspiracies that all weave together.
But it also discards the reality of the existence of genders, surrendering to the typical feminist concept that the female gender somehow has no power over anything in society. The modern version of this myth is thoroughly debunked to the point of embarrassment, such as the wage gap myth that never existed, the 1 in 4 rape statistic that was not only fabricated but seems more based on false rape claim, not to mention that if you used REAL statistics then men are raped just as often as women, if not MORE often, but only if you actually qualify men as being able to be raped, which feminists refuse to do, showing their fear of truth and facts and their inherent hypocrisy.
The conspiracy theory is sexy. It hints at hidden knowledge that “they” don’t want “you” to know about, and it hints that only if you are smart enough to see through all the bullshit MMMMAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN then you can know the real truth. This is that whole Frankfurt School critical theory in action. “There is no truth, except for the secret theories that lie under the truth!” That means if I stub my toe on the coffee table, I didn’t really stub my toe on the coffee table, but demons smashed my toe with an invisible hammer, and they make it look like you stubbed your toe on the coffee table to cover it all up.
Some say this is the result of humans being pattern-seeking animals, but there seems to be much more to it. Maybe it’s the result of government corruption, real life conspiracies. No one wants to be the person who fell for the big bully’s evil tricks, so everything becomes a lie. The underdog is always the hero, muslim terrorists are just fighting against western imperialism, black people are perpetual victims of a history of slavery who dindu nuffin, women are beautiful brave heroines who are also fragile flowers that are always being violated by some evil giant phallus.
Karen Straughan threw out a post I believe on reddit that disproves the patriarchy. Just on a casual Thursday afternoon or something like that.
So the question then becomes is Karen Straughan smarter than Alan Moore?
Yes.
I already knew the answer, so I didn’t bother waiting. 8)
