Peter Klevius, the world's foremost expert on sex segregation (sad isn't it) to Jenni Hermoso - and all the world's women: Patriarchal ape behavior is history!

 Evolutionary heterosexual attraction (HSA) is biological - as are its targets, biological women - but basic (negative) Human Rights are civilized and human!


Outdated cultural pushing (rapetivism and sex segregation/apartheid) ape behavior against the best player (together with Aitana Bonmatí) in the World Cup 2023.

Luis Rubiales may well have had no sexist intentions but this doesn't remove the sexist cultural heritage under which he acted in an emotional outburst because of the convincing Spanish World Cup win 2023 over England. 

Although disgusting fake media BBC every time repeated "1-0" so to lure its compulsory fee paying listeners to think it was an even match, fact is that Spain's playing was in a totally different league above England?. Spain missed a penalty, had many more chances, completely outperformed the English players who only manage to get to the ball by being physical instead of technical - which isn't really what "the beautiful game" should be about.

* Perhaps England's women still suffer from (except of BBC and others footballphobia)  the 50 year ban on them playing football - see below. After all, BBC makes its utmost to play down and demonize football with exaggerated injury and whatever it can dig up "reports" etc.  while constantly boosting stupid (in comparison) cricket, netball and rugby. BBC "news" "reports" utilizes whatever reason to fill it with cricket but not football - especially not women playing football, except of course when BBC feels it has to, e.g. when the England team with much more luck than skills (and somehow half-blind referees and VAR) managed to reach final - and much due to good couching by Sarina Wiegman.

 It's precisely because of football being the world's most multifaceted and challenging sport (no hands and no tools while handling a round external object together with 21 other players on a 100mx50m pitch)) that women were supposed to be "inferior" to men and therefore shouldn't really play football (see below).

Japan and Spain had the most technical teams in the World Cup - and they should really have met in the final.



How much does the allowing of "physical" playing hurt the beautiful game? Yet elegance survives crude body bumping. Lionel Messi 169 cm won the World Cup 2022.

No one can be more vulnerable for female sexual beauty (i.e. heterosexual attraction - ask women who know him) than Peter Klevius - and no one male can be more ignorant about sexual beauty when seeing a woman playing football and on the arena becoming human instead of woman. Just like the early Christian St. Perpetua who said before she faced death on the gladiator arena 203 AD: 'And I was stripped (for death), and I became a (hu)man*', i.e. no longer fettered by womanhood/femininity.

* A time when a man was considered the only fully human.

A sport of nature - or a fact of nature?

Social convention based on a commonsense reaction to the ‘palpable menace of sexual desire among all human beings, and, most especially, to the known
seductiveness of women’ (i.e. heterosexual attraction) was, at Tertullian’s* time, i.e. the latter part of the Second Century, shared by pagans and Christians alike. According to Tertullian, it was a fact of nature that women were seductive, and Christian baptism did nothing to change this fact (Brown 1988: 68, 81). However, we are not informed why the fact that women are seductive, necessarily should imply restrictions on her. We might guess that a number of Tertullians transferred to a modern Western secular city might have diverged in a similar pattern of opinion as would contemporary people. If women were defined by marriage, by its sexual and procreative roles and by the sex-based labor assigned to married women, then their refusal of marriage might move them into a category that transcended womanhood. Only in the arena of martyrdom can we view these transcendent women unfiltered by the lenses of male observers (McNamara 1985:104). Perpetua, a Roman matron, faced the lions in Carthage on March 7, 203. She recorded her experience in prison which led her to a new vision in which all her mortal persona was burned away. An unknown spectator' possibly (most probably) Tertullian , rescued these documents and appended an eyewitness account of her death, resulting in an authentic female voice recording the emergence of her 'autonomous spiritual being from the cocoon of her womanhood' (McNamara 1985:105). Perpetua renounced everything that made her a Woman. She stripped away the emotions and the constraints of the feminine role she had once fully played. On the night before her execution, she dreamed that she had entered into the arena to fight the beasts. There she was confronted by a certain “ill-favored -Egyptian" who challenged her to fight with him. Also, there came to me comely young men, my helpers and aiders. 'And I was stripped, and I became a man' (McNamara 1985:105).

At the foot of the ladder lay a dragon of enormous size, and it would attack those who tried to climb up and try to terrify them from doing so.

* Tertullian has been called "the father of Latin Christianity" as well as "the founder of Western theology".

Not "women's football" but human's football - or just football*!

* You don't say about a child that s/he plays "children's football", do you. If it's a girl you say 'she plays football' and if it's a Finnish girl you say 'hän pelaa jalkapalloa', where 'hän' is a sexless personal pronoun (as in most other language families except IE and semitic) and therefore not translatable to the indoeuropean sex segregated s/he. And when divided by biological sex then it should also say 'men's football', right.

As Peter Klevius for long has stated, evolutionary (i.e. biological) heterosexual attraction (the only analytically relevant distinction between the sexes, according to Peter Klevius - and islam) has to be "civilized" in our daily encounters - but without islamic sex segregation*. And the tool for this was given 1948 with Art. 2 of the Universal Human Rights declaration (the world's most translated document), which main purpose is to stand as the bedrock not only for legislation but also as a bulwark against sexism hiding in culture. In other words, we need to get rid of sex segregation. No matter of biological sex one should be free to lead once life as one wishes - which also means that you have the right to appear "feminine"/"masculine" (whatever that means) without being in any way criticized by e.g. Peter Klevius - as long as it's not part of sexism/racism against others.

Lily Parr, the world's by far best* football player ever - no matter of sex!



* If Marta (six times chosen as the world's best football player) when she was at her best, had time travelled and played against Lily Parr she would probably have outperformed her in dribbling although perhaps not in kicking. However, that's not a fair comparison - just think if Lily had stopped smoking and got the same training etc. possibilities as modern top players! And compared to Lionel Messi, who as a teenager was taken care of by the world's then best football club Barcelona FC, Lily Parr got just the very opposite - a ban on her putting her feet on any English football ground for the rest of her career!

Lily Parr was born in St Helens in 1905 where she as a child learned to play football in games with her brothers. At 5ft 10ins tall, Lily was said to have a 'fearless streak' and 'robust frame'. As a teenager, her first games were with her local side, St Helens Ladies.

There was a growth in interest in women's football in the late 19th century and early 20th because of the huge popularity of men's football combined with the fact that so many young women met football playing men in factories etc.

Dick, Kerr & Co was such a factory where women worked making munitions.


When in 1917 office worker Alfred Frankland saw the girls beating their male factory co-workers in an informal lunch-time match, he decided to be their manager, hence unleashing them on the general public, resulting in a game-changing and instantaneous success.

This really shows how sex segregation had kept girls/women back.

Dick, Kerr Ladies F.C. was one of the earliest known women's football teams, and  remained in existence for some 50 years, from 1917 to 1965, playing 833 games, winning 759, drawing 46, and losing 28. Nettie Honeyball's team in 1895 was possibly the first.  

The matches attracted anywhere from 4,000 to over 50,000 spectators per match. In 1920, Dick, Kerr Ladies defeated a French side 2–0 in front of 25,000 people that went down in history as the first international football game played by women. On the request of female physicians and others the English Football Association (FA) banned women from using fields and stadiums controlled by FA-affiliated clubs for 50 years (the rule was only repealed in 1971). There were 150 women's football clubs in 1921 when on 5 December same year the FA ban was announced.

Dick, Kerr’s Ladies was also the first female team to play wearing shorts.



'Big, fast and powerful', Lily Parr was said to 'take corner kicks better than most men' and she scored 'many goals with a left foot cross drive which nearly breaks the net', according to her profile in a programme of 1923.

A team-mate described her as 'having a kick like a mule'.

 
There were 150 women's football clubs by 1921 when on 5 December the FA decided to ban females from playing on its members' grounds. As a consequence the women's game declined but Lily Parr and other female players continued to play on non-FA pitches.

 

 

Dick, Kerr’s Ladies became Preston Ladies in 1926. Parr became a psychiatric nurse at Whittington Hospital but continued to play for Preston, finally ending her long playing career in 1951.


Why the "beautiful game" is also the hardest to master well

Although Lily Parr was taller than the average woman, most of the best players have been below average height, like Pele, Maradona, Marta, Messi, Modric etc.. However, Ronaldo is 187 cm and a former top player like Crouch is 203 cm. This just emphasizes the greatness of "the beautiful game" - a sport that fits everyone, yet is the hardest of all sports to master because it eliminates tools and hands while keeping the feet busy with multitasking with running and manoeuvring while also controlling the ball with the same feet.

The page below in this book made Peter Klevius wipe tears several times



How Sweden was an accomplish to the death of English football for women - and how Lily Parr & Co's heritage created the world's best football team in the 1970s in a forgotten rural setting in Sweden.

Peter Klevius has written a book with an in depth analysis about the history of England's hostility against women playing football. Although Sweden played an important role behind the scene, this has never before been scientifically scrutinized. It's hoped that Amazon will publish it so to make its existence more visible. Peter Klevius was about to go for self publishing but it seemed impossible to reach out in a meaningful way. After all, it's all about supporting girös and women who want not only to play football but also lo tead their lives as they wish without sexism.

Klevius 1979: Human Rights rather than religion

Drawing (1979) by Peter Klevius. For those Humanrightsophobes with really limited understanding or blinded with prejudice, do note that the DNA "ladder" has steel rivets (i.e. strong both for trapping as well as for escaping), and that the female curvature shadows transgress from below over painful flames into a crown of liberty.

Perpetua (203 AD): 'I saw a ladder of tremendous height made of bronze, reaching all the way to the heavens, but it was so narrow that only one person could climb up at a time. To the sides of the ladder were attached all sorts of metal weapons: there were swords, spears, hooks, daggers, and spikes; so that if anyone tried to climb up carelessly or without paying attention, he would be mangled and his flesh would adhere to the weapons.' Perpetua realized she would have to do battle not merely with wild beasts, but with the Devil himself. Perpetua writes: They stripped me, and I became a man'.

Peter Klevius: They stripped Perpetua of her femininity and she became a human!

The whole LGBTQ+ carousel is completely insane when considering that the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) art. 2 gives everyone, no matter of sex, the right to live as they want without having to "change their sex". So the only reason for the madness is the stupidly stubborn cultural sex segregation which, like religious dictatorship, stipulates what behavior and appearance are "right" for a biological sex. And in the West, it is very much about licking islam, which refuses to conform to the basic (negative) rights in the UDHR, and instead created its own sharia declaration (CDHRI) in 1990 ("reformed" 2020 with blurring wording - but with the same basic Human Rights violating sharia issues still remaining). The UDHR allows women to voluntarily live according to sharia but sharia does not allow muslim women to live freely according to the UDHR. And culturally ending sex segregation does not mean that biological sex needs to be "changed." Learn more under 'Peter Klevius sex tutorials' which should be compulsory sex education for everyone - incl. people with ambiguous biological sex! The LGBTQ+ movement is a desperate effort to uphold outdated sex segregation. And while some old-fashioned trans people use it for this purpose, many youngsters (especially girls) follow it because they feel trapped in limiting sex segregation.

News you won't hear on BBC: Peter Klevius' - the world's foremost expert (sad isn't it) on sex segregation - analysis on how it and heterosexual attraction* added to the fame and tragedy of Sinéad O’Connor's life struggle with mental illness.

* Heterosexual attraction (HSA) is the evolutionary implanted biological drive for reproduction that steers the sperm to the egg. However, in humans this drive has been added by various cultural superstructures (incl. language use) we may call sex segregation (not to be conflated with e.g. sex segregated sports etc.). As a consequence of sex segregation there has built up a statistical rift between the sexes due to separated life worlds which then is "explained" as "feminine" and "masculine" "gender" "characteristics - i.e. not female and male sex characteristics despite the fact that both rest on biology.

Sinéad Magda Shuhada Sadaqat Davitt Mother Bernadette Mary Marie O'Connor* - a restless multi-identity soul now resting in peace.



 

* Why is it that on Wikipedia Cassius Clay is first presented as Muhammad Ali but Sinead O'connor is not first presented as Shuhada Sadaqat?!

Peter Klevius has since his teens said the obvious, namely that all (biological) women are "gay"*. And although reproduction may follow from a rape, Human Rights respect may not.


* Quotation marks only to be nice against those who want to call themselves 'gay' without any real reason to do so. What except for backward sex segregation and the law hinders people from living as they like without putting a meaningless "gender name" on it? After all, every sexual act or thought re. genitalia that isn't triggered by heterosexual attraction (HSA) can be called 'gay' - even heterosexual sex. Only males are biologically slaves under this HSA evolutionary blessing/curse of reproduction, which needs females as its target. This is why all biological women are biologically "gay". However, historical sex segregation is a cultural hangover which plays together with HSA in a sometimes insidious manner that both sexes uphold but of different reason. However, human - not HSA - always ought to be the default state between individuals in non-sexual everyday activities. This also means that a woman can look as sexy as she likes in daily life without islamist covering that offends others as "whores". It was  completely different a situation in early Christianity when some women chose to becoming nuns by "marrying Jesus" instead of taking the only other legal route, i.e. heterosexual marriage. We civilized men have no problem with HSA, only fun - and we want women to be free from HSA harassment. No covering of female beauty needed. A morally healthy man - as opposed to a necrrophilic rapetivist - can only become a slave under lust with the consent of both parties - i.e. no "pushing" for sex. This is also why we men need to fully appreciate Art. 2 in UDHR of 1948 instead of falling for ape behavior and anti-Human Rights ideologies such as, for example, islam's sharia declaration CDHRI from 1990 which denies women full Human Rights.

In late 1980s she was a sexy looking young woman seen through Peter Klevius' and other men's evolutionary heterosexual attraction eyes - and got extra sexy because of her baldness which emphasized her feminine body attire. Moreover, her shaved head was an assertion against traditional views of women, where cultural prejudice based on sex (i.e. sex segregation) gets mixed with muddled HSA reactions.

2016 Sinéad O’Connor posted suicidal thoughts, went missing, and was chased by media on a live blog during Mental Health Awareness Week.
              
In 2017, she "freed" herself "of the patriarchal slave names - free of the parental curses."

Peter Klevius: Actually, she became a "slave" under racist islam, the real patriarchy based on sharia laws and supported by the largest muslim feminist movement. After her conversion to the Human Rights violating ideology of islam (see OIC's CDHRI of 1990) in October 2018, she condemned non-muslims as "disgusting" on Twitter. “But truly I never wanna spend time with white people again (if that's what non-Muslims are called). Not for one moment, for any reason. They are disgusting," she wrote. She had been "triggered" by the "islamophobia" aimed at her, and that she had been warmly embraced by the islamic community.

Peter Klevius: Triggered by "islamophobia" and warmly embraced by the islamic community. Sadly this is also the main inroad for evil islamists, and perhaps the biggest civilian threat today.

"I wear the hijab when I feel like it. I'm not at my age, required to wear a hijab. To me the hijab is the same as when I used to wear a crucifix...it's a way of identifying yourself with your family in the streets."

Peter Klevius: Compare this to BBC's bigoted and hypocritical Saudi raised "diversity" star Mishal Husain who doesn't use a hijab and who doesn't fast ramadan (but can drink some alcohol) or who doesn't care about mosque visits etc. Moreover, the hijab in islam is meant for younger HSA women against the gaze of unrelated men, and in this respect functions as a spit in the face of none muslim women - and Mishal Husain type "muslims" get away with it by calling their way "a personaö choice". However, why then flash "muslimhood" all over the place while licking in the benefits of this bigoted hypocrisy when considering all the poor girls and women whose career and life are fettered with real muslimhood.

Peter Klevius: Sex segregated feminism is a dead end* for achieving full Human Rights equality for women 

* Instead of diversifying the sexes, feminism and masculinism lead to ever more segregation as we already witnessed with the 1990s "glamour feminism" and emergence of the world's largest feminist "community" i.e. sharia feminism.

 Heterosexual attraction* is the only analytical tool possible to understand sex segregation and sexism - yet no one except Peter Klevius seems to talk about it (sad, isn't it)!

 * Peter Klevius, the foremost expert on sex segregation (sad isn't itÅ: Why is the most important subject, i.e. heterosexual attraction, avoided in sex education? Even a centenary woman who has never been with a man and who happens to have lost every possible female curvature in her body is still imprisoned by the cultural effects (sex segregation) of biological heterosexual attraction (the "patriarchal male gaze" in feminist mythology - but the basis of heterosexual reproduction in evolutionary biology). To analyze the relationship between the sexes only heterosexual attraction (HSA) fulfills the measure. Pregancy, delivery, suckling etc. has no defining bearing for such an analysis of relationship. Part of the answer is that women are complicite in using heterosexual attraction when it suits them while denying it when it suits them. This is why Peter Klevius use to say that chauvinists and feminists have much in common. HSA is biologically implanted in men but unlike what islamists think, doesn't mean men can't control their desire. Islam/OIC stipulates via sharia that women shouldn't have full Human Rights as in the anti-fascist Universal Human Rights declaration from 1948 which clearly states that sex should not be used as an excuse for limiting rights.

 

Klevius 1979: Human Rights rather than religion

Drawing (1979) by Peter Klevius. For those Humanrightsophobes with really limited understanding (i.e. PC people), do note that the DNA "ladder" has steel rivets (i.e. strong both for trapping as well as for escaping), and that the female curvature shadows transgess over painful flames into a crown of liberty.

Whereas classic sex segregation (read more Peter Klevius below to better understand the concept) is imposed by circumstances, religious/cultural sex segregation is what is imposed on girls/women even when it's no longer necessary. In the latter case women have been held back by men to an extent where incompetency outside "women's sphere" increasingly became obvious. As a consequence grown up women started internalizing this incompetency as "femininity" although the only true femininity is defined by heterosexual attraction (read Peter Klevius because you'll find nothing anywhere else so far - sad isn't it).

From 1979 to 2021 nothing has changed in Peter Klevius public* analysis of heterosexual attraction and sex segregation

* Already as a 14-year old Peter Klevius understood this although didn't publish it before 1979.

1993 Peter Klevius wrote 'Daughters of the Social State', 1996 'Angels of Antichrist -social state vs kinship', 1998 'Warning against Feminism' (Varning för Feminism). The central theme in these was criticism against separatism (e.g. sex segregation) that tramples the individual under the foot of "communities".

2003 Peter Klevius wrote 'Alternative to feminism'on the web (http://sourze.se/2003/03/15/alternativ-till-feminism__78142). Peter Klevius asked one commentor how she could be so sure about what it meant to be a woman? She answered: "I see it in the mirror every morning".

This happened about the same time as the Swedish public radio censored half of what I wanted to say about sex segregation and islam. Today "feminist Sweden" is the 6th worst country on Earth when it comes to women facing rape etc. hate crimes based on sex.

Islamic/muslim feminism makes complete sense because like all feminisms it feeds on segregation.

Alternative to feminism


15 Mar 2003

by Peter Klevius, anthropologist without masculinity.

All feminisms are reactionary and really variants of feminist separatism because the basic idea is based on difference due to sex.

Pascalidou's unusually naive and sex-confused column may be seen as a cry for help for the girls / women who are trapped in "femininity". My own, not too big daughter went through this period when she as a 7-9 year old in the 1990's played icehockey with the boys and was told that she will not be as strong as the "boys" but that not all "boys" will be strong and some girls may become quite strong depending on genetic profile/size, PE environment, etc.

After this, she has been able to let go of sex segregation completely in her own life, but of course experiences a certain limitation when it comes to choosing activities and conversation topics with "girly girls".

Pascalidou comes from an extremely sex-segregated culture but grew up during a time when it was much more common - than the golden age of "separatist feminism" today - with "Tomboy" girls (what an idiotic reactionary term). In addition, it seems that she never received the much-needed adult guidance that could have explained the situation to her. And even though she herself thinks she was "boyish" and cocky, she probably missed a lot because of her sex - millions of technical and motoric skill experience that the boys were not eliminated from because they had the "right" sex.

It's not enough to play hockey or be cocky. Where a single mother's boy learns from the other boys, the corresponding girl is not given a chance to embrace the world of natural sciences and technology. She grew up in one of the Western world's perhaps most sex segregated socieities where there were almost watertight borders between the sexes when it really matters. The exceptions confirm the rule. This was shown, among other things, in Karin Sandqvist's Dad project, where she demonstrated how girls with more dad and / or brother contact became more independent and scientifically interested.

Sure, it's a pity that girls and women who, due to feminized mothers and welfare state, have been abandoned in a pink chamber without technology, etc., but it is also quite stupid to deliberately continuing locking innocent young girls in this very chamber. Replace the feminist word 'patriarchy' with 'sex segregation' and the world will be seen in a completely different light.

Personally, I have absolutely no idea about my own "masculinity" - except that I find women more attractive than men - and I enjoy it very much. Being able to talk and act with people without constantly keeping track of what I or they have in their pants actually feels very liberating.

Let go of "femininity" and "masculinity" as soon as possible so we can all move on together! In fact, the world out there has long since abolished sex segregation and that is precisely why it is understandable but at the same time idiotic to cling to it. Sex stereotyping is like nationalism - the less real the more constructed.


The original Swedish text:

Alternativ till feminism


15 Mar 2003

av Peter Klevius, antropolog utan manlighet.

All feminism är reaktionär och egentligen varianter av särartsfeminism eftersom grundtanken utgår från olikhet på grund av just kön.

Pascalidous ovanligt naiva och genusförvirrade kolumn kan ses som ett rop på hjälp för de flickor/kvinnor som fastnat i "kvinnlighetens" fälla. Min egen, småväxta dotter gick igenom denna period då hon som 7-9 åring på 90-talet spelade hockey med killarna och fick förklarat för sig att hon inte kommer att bli lika stark som "pojkarna" men att alla "pojkar" inte heller blir det samtidigt som vissa tjejer kan bli det beroende på genetisk profil och miljö, etc.

Efter detta har hon kunnat släppa könssegregeringen totalt i sitt eget liv men upplever förstås en viss begränsning då det gäller att välja aktiviteter och samtalsiområden med "flickflickor".

Pascalidou kommer från en extremt könssegregerad kultur men växte upp under en tid då det var mycket vanligare än nu under "särartsfeminismens" gyllene epok med "pojkflickor" vilken idiotiskt reaktionär term. Dessutom verkar det som om hon aldrig fick den välbehövliga vuxna vägledning som hade kunnat förklara situationen för henne. Och även om hon själv tycker hon var "pojkaktig" och kaxig så missade hon säkert på grund av sin könstillhörighet, miljontals små tekniska/motoriska upplevelser och erfarenheter som pojkarna inte eliminerats från eftersom de haft "rätt" kön.

Det räcker inte med att spela hockey eller vara kaxig. Där en ensamstående mammas pojke lär sig av de andra pojkarna ges motsvarande flicka inte en chans att ta till sig den naturvetenskapliga teknovärlden. Hon växer ju upp i ett av västvärldens kanske mest könssegregerade system där det finns nästan vattetäta skott mellan könen då det verkligen gäller. Undantagen bekräftar regeln. Detta visade sig bland annat i Karin Sandqvists Pappa-projekt där hon påvisade hur tjejer med mer pappa- och/eller bror-kontakt blev mer självständiga och naturvetenskapligt intresserade.

Javisst, det är synd om flickor och kvinnor som på grund av mammas och socialstatens feminiserade uppfostran lämnats kvar i en rosa kammare utan teknologi etc, men det är också lite korkat att med berått mod stänga in oskyldiga flickebarn i denna kammare. Byt ut det feministiska ordet patriarkat mot könssegregering så syns världen i ett helt annat ljus.

Själv har jag absolut ingen aning om min egen "manlighet" möjligen med undantag av att jag finner tjejer mer attraktiva än män och jag trivs jättebra med det. Att kunna prata och agera med folk utan att hela tiden hålla koll på vad jag eller de har i brallorna känns faktiskt väldigt befriande.

Släpp "kvinnligheten" och "manligheten" med det snaraste så vi alla kan gå vidare tillsammans! Världen därute har faktiskt för länge sen avskaffat könssegregeringen och just därför är det visserligen förståeligt men samtidigt idiotiskt att klamra sig fast vid den. Könstillhörighet är som nationalism - ju mindre verklig sådan desto mer konstruerad.

In Peter Klevius Yule* sex tutorial Geri Jewell reveals that "the denial was that the passion David had sexually I couldn't equal", and Michelle Thomson that when her friend raped her "it wasn't sexual".

* Yule is old Swedish (spelled 'jul') meaning wheel (which comes from the same word 'hjul') of the year, i.e. Vinter solstice around 21 December, and in modern times "Christmas" celebration although it has nothing to do with religion.

Klevius: All women are gay*. However, not every woman has realized it as yet...

Women, from a male point of view, have wonderful assess - just like feamale dogs from a male dog's perspective. And not only that, women have the potential to reproduce. And when women are receptive there are usually no lack of providers. So women should really not have anything to complain about in this respect. Other than, of course sex segregation/apartheid.

The sperm has to be attracted to the egg in some way. That's biological 'heterosexual attraction'. Testosterone is an important hormone in this task. However, the measurements are not easily compared between men and women because labs tend to (why?!) state the percentage of free testosterone for men, but give a measurement in pg/ml for women. Or the male measurements will be in ng/dl requiring a mathematical conversion for direct comparison to the "normal" range of the opposite sex. The level readings between men and women are so vastly different because the number represents a percentage of the TOTAL testosterone. Women naturally start with a much lower total amount, so 2.5% of 40ng/dl is going to be much less than 2.5% of 800ng/dl in a man.

However, even 20 times more Testosterone doesn't mean a man is necessitated to sex - merely that he is always potentially ready for sex (at least Klevius - the "extremely normal" - is and has always been since his adolescence). In other words, Klevius proposes that we lay to rest the old imposing "dog sex" culture and instead all treat each other as humans, not as sexual beings. However, to achieve this we need to teach young girls (and boys) about the only real difference between the sexes, namely heterosexual attraction, so it won't be confused with sexual acts (which people should of course be allowed to perform without any other restrictions than what the law says added with full and informed consent - just like most other civilized behavior. Moreover, and perhaps most importantly, we need to end the mostly male "push for sex" culture, i.e. dog behavior. Asexuality should be the default state of interaction.

And to avoid unnecessary confusion re. Klevius sex analysis, do understand that unlike physical reproduction in the female body (which is completely independent from the male one), heterosexual attraction needs both sexes although the female one is in this respect the passive one. At this point someone (especially women) might have problem reconciling this with the fact that many women do enjoy sexual acts without possessing the male type gaze for HSA. Klevius then repeats that although all women are gay, not all women do or enjoy sex, which fact should be respected equally as respecting that Klevius has never needed drugs or alcohol for being happy or having good sex, nor has he ever deliberately thrown white pepper around just for the pleasure of sneezing (rest calm, Klevius won't ever criticize you if you do).

And you, if you think this analysis is just Klevius opinion then you haven't understood it at all - read and think again. It's the same logic as 2+2=4.

1 HSA isn't sexual acts per se but a biologically inplanted interest for being attracted to having sex with females. Whereas dogs seem to be more excited by the smell of a female dog's pheromones, human males seem to be more interested in the shape of the female body. In fact, analytically there's no difference between gay sex and hetero sex if HSA isn't a factor (however, it would be enough to term it HSA sex if the male at least think about a physical woman - compare e.g. heterosexual men unknowingly being attracted to males disguised as women).

2 Males have way more potential urge for sex than women because of some 20 times more testosterone. And please, don't confuse this with what Klevius calls "rubbing sex", i.e. just stimulation of the genitals without HSA (compare the case of white pepper and sneezing).  


3  Being pregnant and having a baby has nothing to do with sex segregation at all because it's entirely a woman affair.

4 This means that all women, incl. asexual and achild ones ought to be treated equal with males. And as a consequence, this analysis also benefits men who want to get rid of their macho masculinity label as well as those who unnecessarily feel they're lacking one.
 


Peter Klevius drawing 'Woman' from 1979:

Klevius 1979: Human Rights rather than religion

 Drawing (1979) and photo (2012) by Peter Klevius. For those Humanrightsophobes with really limited understanding (i.e. PC), do note that the DNA "ladder" has steel rivets (i.e. strong both for trapping as well as escaping).

Whereas classic sex segregation (read more Klevius to better understand the concept) is imposed by circumstances, religious/cultural sex segregation is what is imposed on girls/women even when it's no longer necessary. In the latter case women have been held back by men to an extent where incompetency outside "women's sphere" increasingly became obvious. As a consequence grown up women started internalizing this incompetency as "femininity" although the only true femininity is defined by heterosexual attraction (read Klevius because you'll find nothing anywhere else so far - sad isn't it).

Peter Klevius 1979 poem 'My Friend':

Ett synintryck
en beröring
ord som diffusa budbärare
speglar en glimt av din tanke
i chifferform redan förvrängda
förrän de blivit sagda
av mig och din förväntan
min vän

A rough translation for those poor uneducated individuals lacking Swedish, the origin of the English language (oh, perhaps you were unaware of English being a Scandinavian* language - my deepest condolences):

* The oldest Swedish is Old Nordic. To call it "old Norse" wrongly associates it with Norway and Norwegian, both of which weren't around as entities until after the Viking age. As Klevius has always said: North Germanic, and probably Germanic per se, was a late IE outcome between proto-Uralic and PIE (i.e. what Klevius use to call "old Finland-Swedish").

A perception             (see/se, track/tryck, i.e. see-in-track/synintryck)
a touch
words as diffuse messengers              (words/ord, bid-bearers/budbärare)
mirror a glimpse of your thought       (think/ing, tank/e)
in cipher form already distorted        (fore wronged/förvrängd/a)
before they've been said                     (sagda)
by me and your expectation               (fore waiting/förväntan)

Women on sex and work


Geri Jewell (top left), Nicola Sturgeon and Michelle Thomson (below). Nicola Sturgeon says she would not have suffered her career for a child. Michelle Thomson says she didn't think her rapist (a teenage friend) had any sexual desire when he raped her a night when she was 14 and they walked home together. This she told in front of a tear filled UK Parliament (she has also recently been questioned in a pending mortgage fraud case). However, Klevius doesn't believe in rape without sexual desire - what was lacking was respect for basic Human Rights equality, i.e. that her friend had been brainwashed by sex segregation to an extent that he saw her only as an object for heterosexual attraction, not as an other human being on an equal footing.

Actress and comedian Geri Jewell, who has cerebral palsy (witch has not affected her intelligence - only motorics), reveals in a new memoir, I’m Walking As Straight As I Can (alluding to her a-heterosexuality as well as her motoric disability) how much she struggled growing up with a disability and how she wrestled with her "sexuality" (or rather lack of it), and reveals she is a "lesbian", which is a code word for not possessing male heterosexual attraction genes nor same level of testosterone.

Geri Jewell was the first disabled actor to take a lead role in a sitcom and she's gone on to challenge ideas about what is possible. She describes the pressures on her to go into a job suited to her disability and what made her rebel against such restricting expectations

Peter Klevius: Her rebellion against such restricting expectations as created by cultural sex segregation is just stunning - although her escape under an equally sex segregated cover ("lesbian", "gay" etc.) is not. Why didn't she claim her Human Rights as described in the 1948 Universal Human Rights Declaration against fascism, which gives her the right to lead her life as she wishes without having to "explain" it. Or is it because she is an American, and the US Constitution still doesn't give women full equality with men - hence necessitating labels?
US women fighting in vain for equality some 70 years after Finnish women got full equality.

Islam, OIC - and Eurabia

Europe's fascist past reborn via religion

As long as fascism is called good - how could we ever stop it? But Klevius, as a critical European ("islamophobe" if you like) feels extremely embarrassed in front of those true refugees escaping islam and hoping for protection under Western Human Rights. Sorry!

Klevius (the world's foremost authority on sex apartheid - sad isn't it) to all the world's women on women's day: Here's your main enemy exemplified as a timid "mosque mouse"!


Sharia islam is never good for your Human Rights if you are a woman. But willing whores and deceptive but off the point talks may well lure many women still.

 But the more important question is: Can you as a woman face your own sex apartheid history fully?

Update: Learn more about heterosexual attraction and sex segregation/apartheid here.

The origin of islam was plundering and raping booty jihad along Jewish slave trade routes. 

 Here's an approximate map of Judaism just before the origin of islam.



And below an approximate map of the violent muslim colonization in the foot steps of the Jewish slave trade routes.

 The above maps could be almost identical if produced with same techniques. This is no coincident but due to the "mysterious" code (the Jews) that made Arab imperialism possible and historical analysis impossible ("mysterious") if not included.  

Except for Khazaria, Jews were more business orientated than eager to waive swords compared to their copycats the Arab Bedouins. However, without wealthy and influential Jews leading the bloodthirsty and illiterate Bedouins (compare Ibn-Khaldun's description) and paving the way for the Arab looters (compare how the Jews used Turkic people in Khazaria in pretty much the same manner) the "Arab conquest" would have quickly dried out in the Arabian sand.

Dear reader. When reading Klevius analysis of the origin of islam, do always keep in mind the following important facts:

1 There was no Koran - only some Jewish/Christian text manipulations.

2  There was no Muhammad - only the old Jewish Messias (the rescuer/saver/leader) myth. Muhammad as described by muslims is a later invention snd doesn't appear in any official documents whatsoever before Malik.

3  Conventional "descriptions" of the "Arab conquest" are impossible and leave historians "amazed". Instead looting, booty, and sex slaves were the main incentives for the Bedouins. What was new was a more tight racist system of "we-and-the-other" which hindered (for a time) hindered internal divisions. On top of this was the Dhimmitude taxation system under the sword.

4 Understanding these point is also understanding that islam originated as a parasite and therefore never functioned as inspiration in itself for innovations etc. This is why every islamic colony has ended in bachwardness. Africa is an example of how a parasitic ideology was able to drain a whole continent.


Klevius will tell you much more later. Keep tuned and excited!



A little, timidly nonsense speaking Swedish "reformist" Shia muslim "professor"* who rides on the non-muslim world's longing for "nice muslims".


* Klevius uses 'professor' only re. scientific researchers. Mixing in a "god" isn't science.


Whereas few women believe in the Islamic State, some morons still believe in the oxymoron "reformed islam". To understand the impossibility of a civilized islam one only has to go to its evil origin (as Klevius has done since 9/11). And if you for some strange reason don't want to listen to the world's foremost expert on sex apartheid - and therefore also islam -just take a closer lookj to what BBC and others don't want to talk about.




And you may laugh this Saudi billionaire hoodlum away as a Saudi joke but then you miss the very point, namely that:

1 OIC's sharia includes both the Saudi sharia as well as any other sharia that fulfills the lofty definition of the Cairo declaration.

2 The main reason (except for protecting the Saudi and other muslim nations medieval systems) for OIC's sharia declaration was that the 1948 Universal* Human Rights Declaration gives women full equality with men, which fact made it impossible for islam in whatever sharia form.

* There's a dumb view presented for even dumber people that the UN declaration was "Western made" and therefore biased. Nothing could be more wrong. The paper and the pen may have been "Western made" but the content is from scratch made deliberately "non-Western" i.e. universal. Educate yourself!

Unlike many other forms of sexism, muslim sexism is pure racism: Muslim women in every single variant of possible sharia islam are always treated as "the other".


A Shia muslim that is on the extreme fringe of Shia muslims and not even considered a muslim by the majority of the world's Sunni muslims, incl, most muslim so called "scholars".


A pathetic and disgusting Human Rights denier who "accuses" basic and universal Human Rights for being bad "because they came out of the West". Ok, cars etc. also came out of the West and yes, he could blame them for some pollution etc. and call it "post-colonialism". But how on earth could you possibly deny the logic of the negative (basic) Human Rights, or deny them because they "came out of the West". Well the reason "they came out of the West" is that the islam contaminated parts of the world didn't give them a chance to come out there.


So is he an outright lier trying to camouflage islam's incompatibility with the most basic of Human Rights- or is he, like so many muslims, incredibly dumb/ignorant/brainwashed?

Mohammad Fazlhashemi, professor in islamism (aka "islamic theology") and filosophy (sic)* at Uppsala University in Sweden: There are some essential norms in the Koran that can be used to protect human dignity in different ways depending on time and cisrumstances.

* As Wittgenstein already pointed out, philosophy is a difficult discipline even without trying to squeeze in a God scheme in it. And even more so when the "God" is totally out of reach and only exists as differing human "interpretations".


Klevius: "Protecting" women from having access to full Human Rights? And "human dignity" should be read "muslim male dignity" added by the important "who is interpreted as being a true muslim" which could, as we all know, vary quite a lot among muslims. Moreover, what about the dignity of non-muslims? Either you let muslims "interpret" it or you skip islam alltogether, because here lies the real difference between Human Rights that gives every Atheist or whatever person (even muslims) equal rights, and sharia islam which openly violates these rights, as can be seen, for example, in Saudi based and steered OIC's (all muslim's main world organization) official abandoning of Human Rights in UN. Mohammad Fazlhashemi, professor in islamism (aka "islamic theology") and racist/sexist "muslimn filosophy" can't possibly be unaware of OIC, the muslim world's biggest and most important institution, can he!

Mohammad Fazlhashemi: That islam is good can be proved by comparing it to the illiterate Arab speaking bedouins.

Klevius: Is that really a good enough standard as reference?

Mohammad Fazlhashemi: There's no logical connection between a muslim's belief and a muslim's rights.

Klevius: Apart from the fact that most muslims completely disagree with you, why do you then keep asking for muslim's rights? Why should muslim's have special rights because of their "beliefs"?


And here's this small minded muslim reformist's Shia source:

Mohammad Mojtahed Shabestari: I do not call for a separation of politics and religion. Of course there should be cooperation between them.

Klevius: Cooperation between Human Rights violating sharia and politicians representing Human Rights doesn't sound very reformist, does it.

From an interview with Mohammad Mojtahed Shabestari (spiced with Klevius comments): The way of life in Medina and Mecca was quite simple. But what took place then cannot be a model for today's world. Nowadays, Muslims live in intelligent social systems, in which there is a wide diversity of institutions. This requires us to develop a proper plan with the aid of reason. This is not something that can be derived from the Koran.

Klevius: At least he seems to admit that the slaughtering of all the Jews in Medina wasn't a good "model". Or did he mean something else? The muslim booty and sex jihad?

"During its Golden Age, Islam was known for highly controversial and pluralistic debates. Today, the reality in many Muslim countries is quite different. There is little freedom of thought.. What can be done to promote more freedom of thought in Muslim countries?"

Klevius: The "golden age" was just the same as today, i.e. muslims sponging on resources they haven't themselves created. Slaves back then - oil and Western welfare today. More than 90% of the economy in Andalus was based on slavery - fully in line with islam's original enslavement formula: "Infidels" (i.e. non-muslims and women) could be enslaved because Muhammad had heard Allah (via an angel though) saying so.

Shabestari: Freedom of expression all depends on whether a people has politically developed to such an extent that it understands what freedom is. Then it will demand freedom of expression. Even now there is a great tendency towards freedom in Islamic countries. Yet, why it hasn't truly developed is another question. This has to do with political hurdles and the system of government in these countries. It is more of a cultural difficulty than a difficulty related to Islam or religion in general. Unfortunately, this is a retrograde cultural reality.

Klevius: Admittedly Hillary Clinton's sharia campaign against freedom of expression represents "a retrograde cultural reality". However, how could it possibly not be directly connected to islam itself when she works for the world's biggest and most fundamental islam representing organization, the Saudi based and steered OIC?!

"The Arab protest movements are associated by many people, both within these countries and also abroad, with the hope for democracy. Others (muslims) say that Islam fundamentally forbids democracy."

Klevius: Yet it's all islam and muslims - no matter what it stands for. As a consequence it encompasses both the most evil of muslims as well as those "muslims" who can't be distinguished from non-muslims other than by name. And this state of affairs is of course most handy for the most evil of muslims.

Rachel Daly honors her Dad - and reminds Peter Klevius about his own research which shows that Dads and brothers are the most common inspiration for football girls/women.

England's team who looked "feminine" but played "masculine" today won 6-1 over China who played cautiously and cowardly "feminine" despite possessing "masculine" capabilities.

Rachel Daly after scoring against China in the World Cup 2023


Was China's lousy performance due to poor couching in an atmosphere of less state support for female football (like BBC etc.)?

Xi Jinping, like most people in the West, supports sex segregation and has asked for more "masculine" men and "feminine" women. This is perhaps the only criticism Peter Klevius can find against him. However, CNN's Sinophobic, hypocritical "muslim"(?) bigot Fareed Zakaria, who self-describes as a "secular and nonpracticing muslim", seems to have no problem smearing and lying about China.

No one can be more vulnerable for female sexual beauty (i.e. heterosexual attraction - ask women who know him) than Peter Klevius - and no one male can be more ignorant about sexual beauty when seeing a woman playing football and on the arena becoming human instead of woman. Just like the early Christian St. Perpetua who said before she faced death on the gladiator arena 203 AD: 'And I was stripped (for death), and I became a (hu)man*', i.e. no longer fettered by womanhood/femininity.

* A time when a man was considered the only fully human.

A sport of nature - or a fact of nature?

Social convention based on a commonsense reaction to the ‘palpable menace of sexual desire among all human beings, and, most especially, to the known
seductiveness of women’ (i.e. heterosexual attraction) was, at Tertullian’s* time, i.e. the latter part of the Second Century, shared by pagans and Christians alike. According to Tertullian, it was a fact of nature that women were seductive, and Christian baptism did nothing to change this fact (Brown 1988: 68, 81). However, we are not informed why the fact that women are seductive, necessarily should imply restrictions on her. We might guess that a number of Tertullians transferred to a modern Western secular city might have diverged in a similar pattern of opinion as would contemporary people. If women were defined by marriage, by its sexual and procreative roles and by the sex-based labor assigned to married women, then their refusal of marriage might move them into a category that transcended womanhood. Only in the arena of martyrdom can we view these transcendent women unfiltered by the lenses of male observers (McNamara 1985:104). Perpetua, a Roman matron, faced the lions in Carthage on March 7, 203. She recorded her experience in prison which led her to a new vision in which all her mortal persona was burned away. An unknown spectator' possibly (most probably) Tertullian , rescued these documents and appended an eyewitness account of her death, resulting in an authentic female voice recording the emergence of her 'autonomous spiritual being from the cocoon of her womanhood' (McNamara 1985:105). Perpetua renounced everything that made her a Woman. She stripped away the emotions and the constraints of the feminine role she had once fully played. On the night before her execution, she dreamed that she had entered into the arena to fight the beasts. There she was confronted by a certain “ill-favored -Egyptian" who challenged her to fight with him. Also, there came to me comely young men, my helpers and aiders. 'And I was stripped, and I became a man' (McNamara 1985:105).

At the foot of the ladder lay a dragon of enormous size, and it would attack those who tried to climb up and try to terrify them from doing so.

* Tertullian has been called "the father of Latin Christianity" as well as "the founder of Western theology".

Not "women's football" but human's football - or just football*!

* You don't say about a child that s/he plays "children's football", do you. If it's a girl you say 'she plays football' and if it's a Finnish girl you say 'hän pelaa jalkapalloa', where 'hän' is a sexless personal pronoun (as in most other language families except IE and semitic) and therefore not translatable to the indoeuropean sex segregated s/he. And when divided by biological sex then it should also say 'men's football', right.

As Peter Klevius for long has stated, evolutionary (i.e. biological) heterosexual attraction (the only analytically relevant distinction between the sexes, according to Peter Klevius - and islam) has to be "civilized" in our daily encounters - but without islamic sex segregation*. And the tool for this was given 1948 with Art. 2 of the Universal Human Rights declaration (the world's most translated document), which main purpose is to stand as the bedrock not only for legislation but also as a bulwark against sexism hiding in culture. In other words, we need to get rid of sex segregation. No matter of biological sex one should be free to lead once life as one wishes - which also means that you have the right to appear "feminine"/"masculine" (whatever that means) without being in any way criticized by e.g. Peter Klevius - as long as it's not part of sexism/racism against others.

Lily Parr, the world's by far best* football player ever - no matter of sex!



* If Marta (six times chosen as the world's best football player) when she was at her best, had time travelled and played against Lily Parr she would probably have outperformed her in dribbling although perhaps not in kicking. However, that's not a fair comparison - just think if Lily had stopped smoking and got the same training etc. possibilities as modern top players! And compared to Lionel Messi, who as a teenager was taken care of by the world's then best football club Barcelona FC, Lily Parr got just the very opposite - a ban on her putting her feet on any English football ground for the rest of her career!

Lily Parr was born in St Helens in 1905 where she as a child learned to play football in games with her brothers. At 5ft 10ins tall, Lily was said to have a 'fearless streak' and 'robust frame'. As a teenager, her first games were with her local side, St Helens Ladies.

There was a growth in interest in women's football in the late 19th century and early 20th because of the huge popularity of men's football combined with the fact that so many young women met football playing men in factories etc.

Dick, Kerr & Co was such a factory where women worked making munitions.


When in 1917 office worker Alfred Frankland saw the girls beating their male factory co-workers in an informal lunch-time match, he decided to be their manager, hence unleashing them on the general public, resulting in a game-changing and instantaneous success.

This really shows how sex segregation had kept girls/women back.

Dick, Kerr Ladies F.C. was one of the earliest known women's football teams, and  remained in existence for some 50 years, from 1917 to 1965, playing 833 games, winning 759, drawing 46, and losing 28. Nettie Honeyball's team in 1895 was possibly the first.  

The matches attracted anywhere from 4,000 to over 50,000 spectators per match. In 1920, Dick, Kerr Ladies defeated a French side 2–0 in front of 25,000 people that went down in history as the first international football game played by women. On the request of female physicians and others the English Football Association (FA) banned women from using fields and stadiums controlled by FA-affiliated clubs for 50 years (the rule was only repealed in 1971). There were 150 women's football clubs in 1921 when on 5 December same year the FA ban was announced.

Dick, Kerr’s Ladies was also the first female team to play wearing shorts.



'Big, fast and powerful', Lily Parr was said to 'take corner kicks better than most men' and she scored 'many goals with a left foot cross drive which nearly breaks the net', according to her profile in a programme of 1923.

A team-mate described her as 'having a kick like a mule'.

 
There were 150 women's football clubs by 1921 when on 5 December the FA decided to ban females from playing on its members' grounds. As a consequence the women's game declined but Lily Parr and other female players continued to play on non-FA pitches.

 

 

Dick, Kerr’s Ladies became Preston Ladies in 1926. Parr became a psychiatric nurse at Whittington Hospital but continued to play for Preston, finally ending her long playing career in 1951.


Why the "beautiful game" is also the hardest to master well

Although Lily Parr was taller than the average woman, most of the best players have been below average height, like Pele, Maradona, Marta, Messi, Modric etc.. However, Ronaldo is 187 cm and a former top player like Crouch is 203 cm. This just emphasizes the greatness of "the beautiful game" - a sport that fits everyone, yet is the hardest of all sports to master because it eliminates tools and hands while keeping the feet busy with multitasking with running and manoeuvring while also controlling the ball with the same feet.

The page below in this book made Peter Klevius wipe tears several times



How Sweden was an accomplish to the death of English football for women - and how Lily Parr & Co's heritage created the world's best football team in the 1970s in a forgotten rural setting in Sweden.

Peter Klevius has written a book with an in depth analysis about the history of England's hostility against women playing football. Although Sweden played an important role behind the scene, this has never before been scientifically scrutinized. It's hoped that Amazon will publish it so to make its existence more visible. Peter Klevius was about to go for self publishing but it seemed impossible to reach out in a meaningful way. After all, it's all about supporting girös and women who want not only to play football but also lo tead their lives as they wish without sexism.

For those Humanrightsophobes with really limited understanding (i.e. PC people), do note that the DNA "ladder" has steel rivets (i.e. strong both for trapping as well as for escaping), and that the female curvature shadows transgress over painful flames into a crown of liberty.

Perpetua (203 AD): 'I saw a ladder of tremendous height made of bronze, reaching all the way to the heavens, but it was so narrow that only one person could climb up at a time. To the sides of the ladder were attached all sorts of metal weapons: there were swords, spears, hooks, daggers, and spikes; so that if anyone tried to climb up carelessly or without paying attention, he would be mangled and his flesh would adhere to the weapons.' Perpetua realized she would have to do battle not merely with wild beasts, but with the Devil himself. Perpetua writes: They stripped me, and I became a  man'.
