Over the years, most of my political or activist phases were influenced by proximal men in my life. Honestly, I have very little individual drive to actively pursue collectivist politics, which is ironic considering this forum. I most definitely have views, even by incidental virtue of being a philosophy student, in which CORRUPT acts as a great means of expression. However, becoming familiar with the community that surrounds this website, I have noticed two things:

1. It is heavily male-dominated.

2. There is a strong, and surprisingly diverse, political and cultural community orbiting around CORRUPT and its associated family of websites.

I don't think it's because women inherently find it hard to identify with romantic-traditionalist, classically conservative views, but because women don't feel compelled by the need to belong to a politically-driven, and willing collective movements in the way that men enjoy being organizers of their community.

I find myself actively involved in traditionalist revival in so far as the passive intellectual content exists, but I never found myself interest (period) in assuming leading, political roles. I would venture that most women in this sphere have significant others who actively stimulate their interest in the political component of the New Right.

I find myself manifesting the same energies that provoke the collective high in romantic or familial endeavours. Put simply, and this may seem very simple, I have never been passionate about politics the way that I could be passionate about a man, but I see men having the capacity to be passionate about politics to equal or even rival that of a woman.

"The happiness of man is: I will. The happiness of woman is: he wills," says Nietzsche. This is an important point to acknowledge because the lack of female involvement in the New Right should never be taken as plain opposition, especially relative to the amount of female involvement amongst liberals.

I theorize that liberals, amongst a host of reasons, but specifically pertaining to this argument, have larger numbers of female involvement because it's a kind of politics that relies on inaction -- the welfare state being a glaring case in point. It doesn't involve the proactive will and the individualistic spirit of classic conservatism.
