stevemoxon.co.uk website now fully sorted

The website (stevemoxon.co.uk) is now fully sorted, with the science journal papers up there and in decent format; more to add shortly.

Here's the text of the front page:

Steve Moxon. Independent researcher/writer re the biological roots of human sociality with a special interest in the sexes

Not sex difference but sex dichotomy: in fundamental motivation, not ability; and it's sex, not gender [sic].

* The biological roots of human sociality with a special interest in the sexes (cross-disciplinary research centred in evolutionary psychology / biological anthropology). There is no such thing anywhere in biology as cross-sex dominance; all being intra-sexual. The human sexes have separate and entirely different social structure and dynamics, with males forming relatively loose ties within a web-like dominance hierarchy, whereas females are closely bonded within a chain-line personal-network. Mate-value (attractiveness) is also sex-dichotomous: female fertility (youth/beauty), and male rank (status) indicating 'good genes'. All stems from the complementary core function according to sex, that for the female is to accurately assess male 'good genes', and for the male is to mutually compete to express them; in the 'genetic filter' mechanism to deal with accumulated gene-replication error (the fundamental problem for all biological systems, and the foundation of social system).

* PC-fascism ('political correctness'): it's origin, development and manifestation as a major, all-encompassing backlash against ordinary people in general by the 'progressive project' (political-Left) mindset; as a means of salving the 'cognitive-dissonance' caused by the longstanding failure to effect any change according to any 'Marxist' theory, which is now thoroughly discredited by overwhelming counter evidence. The fall-guy being 'the workers', then anyone who fits as the stereotypical 'worker' of old -- male, 'white' (and/or heterosexual) -- is demonised with bogus charges of 'misogyny', 'racism' or 'homophobia' [sic], simply for not being female, non-'white' (and/or homosexual). These ever emptier faux accusations are the hallmark of the PC-fascist -- and are themselves truly misandric, (anti-'white') racist, and heterophobic (as it were) -- with their ubiquity revealing the full mutual co-option of PC-fascism by and of the establishment. It's the ultimate expression of perennial elitist-separatism in the denial that this is what it is and instead pretending egalitarianism; the greatest fraud in history.

Here (below) is a list of some of my science journal review papers and other publications putting forward new evidence-based theory (most available in full text from the row of buttons at the top of this page). These are major composite papers which in due course will generate multiple separate papers according to more specific topic.

Moxon SP (2012) The origin and nature of warfare is not explained but obscured by cultural-anthropological and feminist perspectives, that generate implausible notions of how warfare can be subdued [This paper was in journal peer review but was politically 'spiked' by the cultural anthropologist Douglas Fry, whose position, shared with his protogé, Judith Hand, this paper counters. It is to Hand's political, non-scientific paper that originally this was in reply.] [Find under the button, above, 'Why woman won't whack war'.]

Further review papers and a new book are in preparation. Next will be an overview of ostensible inter-sexual competition, revealing it to be intra-sexual competition and inter-sexual sexual display. There has been so much development in the science that a major cross-disciplinary overview is needed rather than an update of The Woman Racket.

Unrelated to any of the science is research into mythology:

Robin UnHooded is the first-ever etymological investigation into the origin of Robin Hood mythology -- RH obviously not being a real personage. The conclusion is that it is clearly ancient and not medieval: 'Celtic'; specifically (Scottish) Gaelic rodaidh, diminutive of ruadhrí, 'red king'; the mythic figure who sacrifices himself because his regal blood is required to be shed on to the land to ensure its fertility. This etymology seems to have become conflated with the construction denoting the deity to whom the sacrifice is made: rìbhinn (rìgh-beann), 'king-wife', meaning 'maiden-queen', denoting the Celtic deity Bríd (Bríg, Brighid). This was later qualified by hood from Welsh hud, 'magic', 'fairy', in the sense of 'devil' -- 'the old religion'.

The Dragon of Wantley overturns the longstanding theory of the origin of what was England's most famous dragon legend. The early-modern ballad was not to do with the Wortley Lords but the Counter-Reformation, involving a law suit initiated and conducted solely by George More of Sheffield. There are localised mythological roots in 'Celtic' serpent and, it seems, 'water-monster' place-namings, with a medieval 'dragon v knight' overlay through the local presence of the Knights Hospitallers of St John of Jerusalem. [An expanded version of an article in the June-September Stirrings Magazine will appear here some time after June 1.

The Oxford convictions: Cross-group disinhibition is behind ethnic-minority perpetrated 'rape-prostitution'

The convictions today of a number of Oxford men for systematic gang 'rape-prostitution' (as it might be termed) of early-teen and even pre-teen girls, is a clear example of the necessary though not sufficient condition for rape (that is, obvious rape, as commonly understood) possibly to occur of psychologically crossing a major in-group/out-group boundary.

As before, in cases such as in Rochdale, the gang is wholly of ethnic-minority individuals; but it is not down to Pakistani or African culture per se (nor anything else about being Pakistani or African), but is an artefact of ethnic-minorities constituting but a very small proportion of the UK population. For the reason that the great majority of girls likely to be encountered are 'white', then there is often evoked in ethnic-minority males a disinhibiting effect. [This is pronounced in those ethnic-minority communities that, irrespective of the nature of differences from the 'host' or other communities, are most inward-looking and not integrating. Hence the lack of representation in these cases of Indian males in comparison to Pakistanis. This fact also undermines the putative explanation of sexual repression within Asian ethnic minority groups; as if sexual repression however profound could ever explain gang 'rape-prostitution'.]

As a consequence, notwithstanding that the facility to be disinhibited in this way applies equally to the 'host' non-ethnic population; for the reason that 'whites' are in very large majority in the UK, and therefore male 'whites' usually encounter girls who likewise are 'white'; then gang 'rape-prostitution' of very young girls is a phenomenon heavily disproportionately perpetrated by ethnic-minorities, just as the pattern of conviction reveals.

This hits a very raw nerve with the now ubiquitous PC-fascist administration of social services and police (as with every other form of administration in the UK and 'Western' nations in recent years). PC-fascism is the pathological blaming of those that in a political-Left framework are viewed stereotypically as 'the workers' – males, 'whites', heterosexuals – for the failure of any sort of 'Marxist' 'revolution' to take place. As a consequence, non-'whites' abusing 'white' girls, notwithstanding that the abusers are male, has been for 'brushing under the carpet', relatively speaking – in great contrast to the absurd witch-hunt as we see with Operation Yewtree, to police/media trawl for allegations against celebrities, that even when not bogus or heavily inflated and merely mild misdemeanour are pursued regardless.

It is stupid and insulting to everyone for the Children's Commissioner, Sue Berelowitz, to claim on Channel4 News tonight that it is police targeting Asians that has led to Pakistanis and Africans disproportionately being convicted. PC-fascism had led to the very opposite, until the seriousness of the problem became so obvious it could no longer be ignored even from a PC-fascist perspective.

Police in the end are obliged to seek culprits where evidence shows they are most likely to be found. Hence stop-and-search re street-crime will always disproportionately target ethnic-minority males – and males of certain ethnic-minorities in particular. The Home Office some time ago for PC-fascist political reasons prevented breakdown of crime figures re 'mugging' according to ethnicity because of the very large 'over-representation' of Afro-Caribbean perpetrators. The crime figures were no artefact of 'racism' by the police: they were the result, again, of disinhibition through psychologically crossing an in-group/out-group boundary; what PC-fascism would term 'racism' if it were in the other direction. Gang 'rape-prostitution' most certainly would be considered serious 'racism' -- and would be prosecuted as a 'racially-aggravated' crime -- if Pakistani girls were being targeted by 'white' men. Everybody realises this, and it's an accurate perception. The more the political-class pretends otherwise, the greater will mount a popular revulsion towards PC-fascism already evident.

'Yewtree' outed as an obscenity completely undermining law

At last, voices are being heard (more powerful than mine) against the deeply obscene idiocy of 'Operation Yewtree'. I urge anyone who has not already done so to read the excellent article by leading barrister Barbara Hewson on the Spiked! website (along with several by others arguing on similar lines on this subject). http://www.spiked-online.com/site/article/13604/

This follows the hideous spectacle of the police forcing an ill and confused man in his 80s into a 'plea bargain' over incidents from ancient history as trivial as kissing, breast-fondling and a hand up clothing. I'm referring to Stuart Hall, of course. And the others blighted by the police/media trawl have not even been charged.

Hewson's recommendations are exactly right, and as I have long argued:

Remove anonymity for complainants -- to tackle the high incidence of frivolous, attention-seeking or vexatious false allegation.
Lower the age of consent to 13 -- to reflect the fall in the average age of female puberty from 17 to 10.
Introduce a time-limit to avoid making legal cases out of allegations re the distant past that are impossible to evaluate.

The BBC continues to show appalling bias in all this. On the Tuesday BBC1 Six O'clock News a pressure-group spokesman arguing that putting a name of an accused man in the media brought forward other complainants, was not balanced with any expert to point out the research showing that this is precisely what leads to multiple bogus allegation.

What the UKIP breakthrough represents.

The political class of course wish to mis-portray the UKIP breakthrough as 'protest vote' and/or specific voter concern re immigration, but they're wrong. It's neither (albeit additionally a bit of both). It's permanent disaffection from PC-fascist mainstream politics – not that too many folk even understand what PC-fascism is and where it came from: they just have an instinctive nous that it's nasty, elitist and separatist. They could not be more right.

The BBC's Nick Robinson asked the question as to the permanency of the UKIP phenomenon, failing to point out that there are plenty more most-likely UKIP voters amongst the large majority who are so utterly disillusioned with the 'big three' PC-fascist dinosaur parties of the elective dictatorship that they didn't bother to vote at all.

If they had realised that a UKIP vote is no longer a 'wasted' one, then very many more would have ventured to the polling stations -- easily increasing the quarter-share of the turnout to eclipse Labour's share, which anyway was only 5% o 6% ahead of UKIP's. People won't make that mistake in future, and in any case next year UKIP will easily top the poll in the Euro elections, providing huge momentum.

What's so refreshing to everyone is that in Nigel Farage for once there's a politician who isn't just yet another jumped-up parliamentary researcher so full of esoteric but out-dated political bullshit as to be clueless about the world, with a totally on-the-make attitude to live-or-die as a political animal; but who is instead a complete non-careerist genuine bloke. Boris with sense. And the one-man-band jibe falls flat with Paul Nuttall – a compelling working-class Liverpudlian – as the deputy leader, and the woman who so convincingly contested the Eastleigh by-election, Diane James.

The next few years surely will see the death of respectability for PC-fascism in mainstream politics as the three dinosaur political parties continue their remorseless haemorrhaging of members and funding to the point where they simply cannot mount decent campaigning.

Voting for 'none of the bastards' will come to mean something else than staying at home instead of voting, or deliberately spoiling the ballot paper.

The only risk is that in trying to avoid the usual 'triangulation' by PC-fascists to bogusly accuse anyone and everyone of being an 'extremist', that UKIP does not itself let in PC-fascism by the back door. The Party needs to focus on outing PC for what it is -- indeed, to take on board what is after all the accepted scholarship on PC that I have cited and to which I've myself contributed; and, as I pointed out, in being cited by Anders Breivik is not somehow poisoned in guilt-by-association as the political-Left want us all to emote.
