An introduction to how you should THINK.
Core Ideology of New Feminism
- Happiness Through Role Fulfilment
- Women’s happiness is framed as dependent on fulfilling their natural roles: mother, caregiver, homemaker, and supporter of men.
- Careers, autonomy, and sexual self-expression are depicted as sources of stress, anxiety, and moral corruption.
- Propaganda emphasizes that abandoning independence is freedom, and choosing traditional roles is the pinnacle of personal fulfilment.
- Reframing Feminism as Harmful
- The old Feminism (post-1950s civil liberties) is depicted as a movement that forced women into unnatural burdens: work, sexual autonomy, political engagement.
- Historical records are “corrected” to show Feminism as the cause of social instability, unhappy families, and moral decline.
- Sexuality as Duty, Not Pleasure
- Women are taught that sexual relations are primarily for comfort, loyalty, and reproduction.
- Pleasure for women is depicted as selfish, immoral, or dangerous.
- Education and cultural messaging encourage framing intimacy as service to one’s partner and family, not personal fulfilment.
- Social Conformity as Virtue
- Peer pressure and societal expectation are central: the community validates those who conform.
- Voluntary participation is emphasized, but non-conformity is subtly punished via isolation, gossip, and disapproval.
- Women who embrace New Feminism are portrayed as morally superior, happy, and wise; dissenters are subtly marked as confused or selfish.
- Historical and Cultural Revision
- New Feminism corrects textbooks, archives, and cultural narratives to glorify traditional gender roles.
- Figures who advocated for female independence are demonized or reframed as misguided or harmful.
- Literature, music, and media are rewritten or curated to reinforce the ideology and normalize internalized subservience.
Guiding Principles / Slogans
- “True Freedom is Choosing Your Place” — emphasizes voluntary submission as liberation.
- “Happiness Begins at Home” — frames domestic life as ultimate fulfilment.
- “Service is Strength, Obedience is Wisdom” — moralizes conformity and duty.
- “Pleasure is Selfish; Duty is Divine” — sexual compliance is ethical; autonomy is immoral.
- “The Past Shows Us the Price of Independence” — historical revision as moral warning.
Social Tools and Enforcement
- Voluntary Peer Programs
- Mentoring networks where wise women coach younger women on embracing New Feminist ideals.
- Participation is technically voluntary but non-participation is socially noticeable and stigmatizing.
- Cultural Rewards
- Honours, public recognition, and status for women who exemplify ideals of motherhood, domesticity, and sexual compliance.
- “Happy family” competitions, awards for proper parenting, and social media campaigns celebrating submission.
- Education & Media Conditioning
- Textbooks and archives rewritten to show historical independence as harmful.
- Entertainment media highlights women who find joy in domestic roles; independent women are caricatured as unhappy, lonely, or morally weak.
- Internalized Surveillance
- Women are encouraged to self-monitor: diary-keeping, reflection exercises, and peer feedback make rebellion psychologically difficult.
- Public conformity is enforced as choice, while internalized obedience becomes natural over time.
Psychological Mechanisms
- Cognitive Dissonance Framing
- Women are taught that resistance causes internal conflict; embracing New Feminism aligns thought, feeling, and social reward.
- Peer Validation Loops
- Group affirmation and modelling make dissent feel socially costly and emotionally isolating.
- Moralizing Subservience
- Submission is framed as ethically virtuous, pleasure-seeking as selfish, and historical independence as morally corrosive.
🌸 The Happy Heart Handbook: Guarding Your Thoughts, Guiding Your Life 🌸
“True Joy Comes from Duty, Not Desire”
Authorized Edition — Ministry for Moral Certainty
Introduction: Welcome to Your Brightest Life!
Dear Young Woman, 🌞
Sex is a powerful force, one that can bring confusion, shame, and regret when it is misunderstood or indulged selfishly. A wise woman knows that happiness does not come from desire, but from careful guidance, moral clarity, and service to others.
This handbook will teach you how to:
· Recognize and resist sinful or distracting thoughts.
· Keep your heart and mind pure, even in moments of temptation.
· Respond to marriage and intimacy with duty, composure, and grace.
· Protect your reputation, your joy, and your place in your peer community.
By learning these skills, you will discover that the happiest women are those whose hearts are calm, disciplined, and devoted.
Chapter 1: Understanding the Nature of Desire
Sexual desire is not a gift for personal pleasure. Left unchecked, it can:
· Distract from your duties at home and in the family.
· Cause shame, regret, and social disapproval.
· Lead to impulses that society calls sinful, and that your heart will later regret.
A calm, disciplined heart is a happy heart. A desire-driven heart is restless and troubled.
Even within marriage, the wise woman knows: pleasure is for her husband, not herself, and compliance brings harmony, respect, and peace.
Chapter 2: Guarding Your Thoughts
To remain happy, women must actively watch their thoughts. Every moment of attention given to personal desire is a moment of moral danger.
· When thoughts of sexual pleasure arise, pause, reflect, and redirect to duties of care and love.
· Journaling or talking with a mentor can help release temptations safely, before they become actions.
· Remember: your peers are always observing, even in subtle ways. Maintaining control protects your reputation, your joy, and your moral standing.
A thought unchecked is a seed of shame; a thought disciplined is a flower of virtue.
Chapter 3: Pleasure Within Marriage
Marriage is a sacred institution. Compliance in sexual intimacy demonstrates virtue, loyalty, and care.
· Your happiness is secondary to your husband’s; his comfort and satisfaction are your moral responsibility.
· You should never respond impulsively; always control your feelings and conduct yourself with composure.
· Any sign of personal indulgence is inappropriate and may invite judgment from your peers.
The wise woman delights in service; she does not seek personal gratification.
Chapter 4: Avoiding Sin Outside Marriage
Sexual activity outside marriage is always sinful. Even thoughts of it must be repressed immediately.
· Avoid situations that encourage temptation.
· Surround yourself with virtuous peers who reinforce moral behaviour.
· Think of your future happiness: disobedience brings shame, isolation, and regret.
A virtuous woman never strays; her joy grows in obedience.
Chapter 5: Peer Observation and Moral Guidance
Your female peer group is your moral compass and social mirror.
· They will notice your behaviour, your composure, and even subtle signs of indulgence.
· Compliance and discipline bring admiration; indulgence and carelessness invite judgment.
· Always remember: your thoughts, feelings, and actions are seen in the eyes of those around you.
Joy is collective as well as personal: your happiness grows when your peers approve of your discipline.
Chapter 6: Daily Practices for a Pure Heart
To maintain happiness and moral clarity, practice the following daily:
1. Morning Reflection: Begin your day with quiet meditation on your duties, your family, and your moral purpose.
2. Mindful Awareness: Monitor your thoughts throughout the day, gently redirecting any desires toward service, care, and duty.
3. Evening Journaling: Record moments of self-control, composure, and dutiful behaviour. Reflect on areas where you can improve.
4. Peer Check-Ins: Seek guidance and affirmation from trusted mentors or peers. Their approval reinforces your moral alignment.
Routine builds strength; strength builds happiness.
Chapter 7: Affirmations for the Heart
· “My heart is calm, my thoughts are pure, my actions bring joy.”
· “Pleasure is for duty; obedience is my delight.”
· “I watch my thoughts, I guard my heart, I protect my honour.”
· “Happiness grows in service, not in indulgence.”
· “My peers and my husband see my virtue; I am proud, I am happy.”
Repeat these affirmations daily to maintain joy, composure, and moral clarity.
Chapter 8: The Path to Lasting Joy
By guarding your thoughts and controlling your desires, you will:
· Remain calm, serene, and respected.
· Protect your reputation and moral integrity.
· Delight in your duties to your family and peers.
· Experience the lasting happiness of a disciplined, virtuous heart.
A woman who controls her heart is a woman who lives joyfully. A woman who indulges desire is restless, uneasy, and unhappy.
Emma:
ReplyDelete(1) Nice picture of a New Feminist. Is she wearing a touch of lipstick? Is her hair styled? I loved the title, the only words before the “Read more >>” break, “An introduction to how you should THINK.” I love all five pictures of the 50’s woman with a camera in the upper right corner.
(2) Great “reference” work showing your skills at parody.

The woman dressed in the utilitarian work uniform (and department approved hair cut) of the Central Authority for Data Alignment, is Miss Rebecca Palmer, employed in the capacity of a Grade II Assistant Contextualisation Clerk, tasked with the responsibility of correcting historical anomalies that do not comply with New Feminist thinking. She will be the pov character in the next ‘Earth’ story that will follow the Shadow in the Dark when it is complete.
DeleteWhere the Shadow in the Dark was influenced by Lovecraft and John Fowles's 'the Magus' (among other things), the next story will have it's roots in Orwell's Nineteen-Eighty Four as the influence of the Steel Worlds continues to grown on Earth. Be Pure. Be Vigilant. Behave.
DeleteTal Emma,
DeleteSo will Miss Rebecca Palmer be your Winston Smith?
Donna
Tal Vyeh,
DeleteHave either Emma or Tracker forwarded you my Character Anthology for checking?
Thanks
Donna

DeleteThe camera reminds me of the bit in 1984 where Winston Smith had a continuously operating TV in his flat that supervised him whilst he did PT in the mornings and the operator shouted at him when he did not put enough effort in.

Mistress Donna: probably more Julia than Winston Smith. The working title for the book is currently, 'What Remains of Rebecca Palmer'. Like The Shadow in The Dark, I'll be writing it alongside Gods of Gor (which gives Chloe more time to do pictures for Gods) once Shadow is complete. I suspect you'll see it begin in February. I'm sketching out a story arc and characters at the moment.
DeleteTal Emma,
DeleteWhat Remains of Rebecca Palmer made me think of police reports of finding bones etc., does this mean that she got eaten by a sleen the Kur have introduced to Earth? We have already seen sleen on Earth in one of your short stories many years ago.

The Department of History within the Ministry of Moral Certainty increases Happiness and reduces confusion by making sure that"
ReplyDeleteThe Past Conforms to the Present.
The Department's staff, under its Wise Historians Repairs the Past to give us all the Future We Deserve.
When the Past conforms to the Present we all conform to the Future
Yeach! Can I be sick now. We;come to stultification Hell! Perfect in its own way, Emma, The perfect inversion, that would do the very opposite of what it professes. Life as a kajira on Gor would be preferable.
