The Natural Order
Inherent Nature In The Male And Female

What is Natural Order? To put it plainly, it is a belief in the way humans are intended to relate; that females are designed by nature to submit and defer to their Male counterparts.
This is not an idea that is fashionable in many corners of society today, of course. The prevailing culture cites popular opinion as evidence to support their argument for complete equality, while sweeping under the rug the monumental effort it has taken in the past century to shape those popular opinions. Working closely with educational institutions and mass media influence, feminist activism has managed to shape the collective thoughts of our more recent generations. One cannot deny that some good has come of this for modern human society, and yet one cannot deny the trouble between the sexes it has caused as well. Others don't see equality between Male and female as something necessarily wrong, but they do sense something isn't quite right with sexual identity in our society today.
While it is true outliers can be found in the membership of any system, the idea Natural Order upholds is that among most Males and females, there can be discerned a generally reliable pattern of species-typical traits and preferences accorded to sexual identity which are not simply age-old "accidents" of cultural influence, but lasting and inherent stratagems of our biology. It is a philosophy of living in wholeness with our sexual identity, of understanding and accepting the Male and female archetype many of us are familiar with by virtue of instinct alone.
What are these archetypes specifically, and how do Males and females differ? Quite simply:
The Male is dominant.
Starting perhaps with the obvious, the overall strength and size of Males in relation to females is a contrast which cannot be denied. Generally, the Male is taller than the female (12-13 cm, on average). He is, as a common rule of physical composition, stronger and faster than his female counterpart. Recent research into intelligence differences between the sexes reveals something we have already known about the Male: that through generations of evolution in the course of human existence, he has been endowed with the physical, instinctual and cognitive traits of a hunter, warrior and protector of his domicile. It is clear nature has assigned him the role of guardian and first agent of action within our species.
The female is submissive.
The female is generally smaller, softer and weaker by comparison. She bears a complimentary intelligence to the Male. She tends to be a nurturing being, bearing children and comforting her family. She excels in social communication, empathetic reasoning and the provision of support. At her core she is a servant, pleasure giver and child-bearer, to be kept and protected by a strong Male. In return for that protection and care, she breeds and serves.
Outside of reading the above stated so bluntly, you probably don't find these paradigms very shocking or new at all, and that is precisely the point. Evidence supporting our ideals which does very well on its own is simple common sense. The dominant Male and submissive female is a system of authority and role division which works, and many can attest to that. It may be a truth that is "inconvenient" to sexual politics in our modern times, but it is a truth that remains, nonetheless.
There are exceptions to every rule, of course. We as intelligent and self-aware organisms know that it is the nature of all life to adapt and diversify. As creatures born of that very system, so shall we. We understand there is seldom, if ever, a single road to accomplishing anything in bio evolutionary terms, but we should not, at the height of our contemporary exuberence, denigrate or outright ignore the wisdom of a species-typical system that has worked for us throughout countless generations of our history, reaching from the mysterious unknown of our origins and influencing our thoughts, motives and desires to this very day.
As humans, we are unique animals in that we have considerable latitude of free will—enough to rebel entirely against our natural and in-born predispositions, but doing so will never erase them, no matter how much we may try. We of course have the choice to live any way we wish, but it is the author's belief that our lives are happier when we embrace our base instincts productively and thoughtfully. This starts with aknowledging Male and female, the base pillars comprising the gestalt of mammalian experience.
