I have always wondered how Asiatic people manage to live in caste societies. I have alluded before that idolatry is a main root of slavery but this is not enough.
To have a hint at the deep origin of the Asian acceptance and support of officially unjust living, we could take a look at some unique behaviors.
In India, high ranking women had themselves being burned not to survive their dead husbands.
India and China are traditionally killing many newborn girls, say their fetuses.
Sex, no matter which partners it involves, is a mimicking of the gods.
Why that ?
Fatalism is not an explanation. Man's pride in a superiority over women is. If such a mental defect is a common fact in humanity, it has taken in the East a peculiar outlook: men do not care of what women do. They exist in separated worlds outside 'bed life'. So that so, they do not care to behave like men. Let me explain.
An Asian man's pride is satisfied to consider himself as a ruler of women. Apart from this pride, that is absolute, and because it satisfies him the most, he behaves on a kind of an equality status with other men, equality derived from that common fact that a man is superior to all women.
Then, what he does, whom he obeys to is of secondary matter. More so, because he does not have to prove he is a man toward women, he indulges himself in a life quite feminized and solitary, as such welcoming all the incitements from established powers, nation, religion, to congregate and do something with himself.
If family appears strong in Asia, it is only a pasteboard stage set. Family life is reduced to fitting social rules. Bollywood love stories are all fake, more than the ones from Alexandria ! Real family begins with a man and a woman looking together in the same direction. This is the lacking spark that undermines the Asian's society fabric and its longing for liberty. Asian men idolize warriors because they don't have the spark to enlighten their own life, to give it an essential meaning. Children are a woman only business, or a collectivity one because he who has nothing to prove to a woman has nothing to prove to himself, and to his children.
Man's pride ... It has been a long long time that I tried to conceive an explanation to the endemic passivity of the oriental people. La Boétie's voluntary servitude has in Asia an extent that he would not have believed it !!
