(Background: Ryan was reviewing Lori Alexander’s book “Biblical Womanhood: A Study Guide”, and I (Suzanne) responded to him. What follows is our exchange.)

Ryan Messano: Having read Lori Alexander's wonderful blog, 'The Transformed Wife' for the past 2 years, it is apparent that she has the principals that virtuous women had a century ago, that made America the prosperous and flourishing nation she became.

Reading her blog is an amazing experience, in seeing the woman that Solomon commended so highly in Proverbs 31.

We are in a stubborn and rebellious society, where Killer Angels, like Margaret Sanger, encourage younger women to be whores, to have sex outside of marriage, to travel, to go to college, to be prostitutes, star in filthy pornography movies, and to get jobs, at the expense of getting married young, and learning to love a husband and children, and care for a home.

Having been raised in a home by a loving and devoted mother, who had 18 children, of whom I was the eldest, and having been given fond and loving memories of a beautiful childhood, it fills my heart with peace and joy to see the precepts that make the loving families, such as the one I was raised in, taught by a Godly woman such as Lori.

May all young women listen to and heed her words, may the men of America return to the honor, wisdom, and virtue we once knew, and may we have a new birth of freedom and virtue, so that liberty's flame may never perish in the United States of America. Without virtuous men and women, liberty must surely be extinguished, and we must all inevitably become slaves.

Suzanne Titkemeyer: Interesting considering you said on Lori Alexander's chat room that you'd not ordered or read the book. Yet here you are writing a review for this book you never ordered or read. Lying is a sin.

Ryan Messano: Wat a hateful liar you are. I never said any such thing, and any one who wants to verify can go to Lori's comments. Further, the book has arrived today, and I'll be reading it. It likely will vary little from the outstanding blogs Lori has written over the last 2 years, which use the same time-honored principles, and apply them in fresh, dazzling, and new ways constantly.

Hopefully you escape from the bondage of your mental slavery.

Suzanne Titkemeyer: Dear Ryan. I have a screen cap of you as "Montesqueue" stating that you didn't read the book but you posted a review. If you click on that particular name it brings one to website for Mesano News, your name. Clearly this is you no matter what you say. Also, anyone Googling you will see you have been hauled out of government meetings screaming homophobic slurs. Repeatedly. Another fake Christian that does not follow the Christ of the Bible. Why would anyone with a functioning brain pay any attention to your words?

Ryan Messano: Dear Suzanne,

Please learn to spell. It's Montesquieu. You are very lazy. The spell check red-lined under your misspelling, suggesting it was misspelled, which it was, and you neglected to check it still. The gist of the study Guide and Lori's posts are the same. Please educate yourself on inductive and deductive reasoning, before blundering into being publicly embarrassed. That said, you leftists are hard to embarrass. You have the hides of Rhinos.

Clearly you have no idea that the leading serial killers in America were all homosexual, and that SCOTUS had no right to legalize the behavior. You've been brainwashed by the schools and media. https://barbwire.com/the-president-attempting-to-de-criminalize-sodomy-the-question-that-needs-to-be-asked-why-is-sodomy-illegal/

Hahaha, I just love being lectured on the Bible by people who don't know it or follow it. What a massive hypocrite you are. If it wasn't for double standards, you leftists would have no standards.

When you learn what wisdom and virtue are, and start to practice them, which is a very tall task for moral midgets like you, then my words will make sense to you.

Suzanne Titkemeyer: Dear Ryan,
Being serious now. It's not healthy to be as angry as you seem and to hold delusional conspiracy theories. Please think about getting help. If money is an issue many communities offer low cost options with a licensed counselor or social worker. You can even request a Christian one. Life is too short to be so miserable.

Ryan Messano: Dear Suzanne,

Righteous indignation is plenty healthy. Being lukewarm is very unhealthy, and ignorance is blissful short term, but quite tragic longterm. As for conspiracy theories, we can discuss those when you actually bother learning actual history, which you appear anxious to advertise you never have.

Your problem is you judge truth on your feelings, which have been leading you astray for quite some time. If someone appears happy to you, which Hollyweird has no problem doing as they lie up a storm, you accept that as truth. Meanwhile, when a person echoes Christ, who was called 'A man of sorrows', you feel that is not true and must be refuted. Lost in your feelings.

The purpose of life was not to feel good. Go learn about the Sophists and Epicureans, and then try to stop imitating them.

Stating the obvious, Dutton will be richly vilified by right-thinking people. Rather, left-thinking

Edward Dutton is a phenomenon. I attempt to review most of his books as they come out, and it is almost a full-time job.

His interests cover a wide spectrum, but they all seem to radiate out of evolutionary biology. His key insights are:

• Human populations have evolved to be profoundly different
• Race is a real and useful marker, a product of evolution
• Evolution is ongoing and rapid
• Evolution brought European peoples to the apogee of their intelligence about the time of the Industrial Revolution, and they have been in decline ever since.
• Two causes of the decline are obvious – smart people are not having children, and Europeans are being replaced by less capable immigrants.
• A less obvious cause is the accumulation of deleterious, "spiteful" mutations in the populations, rendering them less fit to reproduce and less intelligent. The unfit no longer die in childhood; society no longer keeps the unfit from reproducing.
• Racial and ethnic groups have different group interests. Ethnocentrism is the topic of this book, though it weaves arguments involving all the above.

Dutton does constant battle against the dominant dogmas of our age, chief among them multiculturalism and political correctness. Multiculturalism specifically denies the group interests of native Europeans. Political correctness has made it difficult to discuss these facts.

Dutton's conclusion is obvious, almost anti-climatic. White Europeans are the least ethnocentric major population on earth. Their denial of their own self-interest amounts to suicide. And yet, through the agency of political correctness, they are constantly vilified as being racist. This is so much the opposite of the truth that it's champions cannot let up on their propaganda. The big lie of white racism must be perpetuated at all costs.

Dutton calls on scientific research from every quarter to support his arguments. However, by their very nature his arguments are difficult to support conclusively, even through the application of statistics. Instead, he relies on corroborative evidence from many different fields pointing to what must be true.

This methodology, necessary as it is, lends itself to the criticism that he has not convincingly proven his arguments. He is arguing merely from preponderance of evidence. Opponents will thus attempt to belittle his work, claiming that he hasn't proven anything, and suggesting that he simply be ignored.

This is wrong, obviously wrong. The preponderance of evidence is quite weighty. An honest rebuttal would seek to marshal a similar number of arguments that go the other way. This, however, is impossible. The people who support multiculturalism and political correctness do so entirely on the strength of moral claims, and rare;u attempt to use science to buttress their positions.

Science is a collaborative effort. Newton allegedly said that if he had seen further, it was because he was "standing on the shoulders of giants." Dutton makes extraordinarily good use of both historical and modern giants. As a top 500 Amazon reviewer with an interest in most of the fields that occupied Dutton, I am in a good position to judge. There are 380 references in his bibliography. I recognize the names of 36 (in comment 1 below) and have reviewed about half of them. I know enough to say that no author who disagreed with Dutton's major points could compile a bibliography half as rich. Dutton is in line with most modern thinking in the realms of genetics, evolutionary psychology, sociobiology, religion, human evolution, paleontology and other related fields.

If the book has a flaw, it is that Dutton works so fast that he does not eliminate all of the typographic errors, small syntax errors, and repetitions. One can say that given the modest readership of books that tweak the nose of the powers that be, he is certainly doing an adequate job. The scholarship of the book is not in any way diminished. A five-star effort.

With a title like "Race Differences in Ethnocentrism" Dutton is just about obliged to name those groups whose ethnocentrism's prejudicial to native European populations (i.e., white people). He does not disappoint. He presents the consensus of evolutionary biologists, (the few brave enough to risk the wrath of the Powers that Be) as to who they are and what motivates them, whether consciously or from deep cultural memory.

Edward Dutton and Michael Woodley of Menie share a YouTube channel called "The Jolly Heretic." These are often discourses by Dutton on topics that interest him, such as why English men are so attractive to foreign women, why Eastern European women are so attractive to foreign men, how to judge people by their looks, and why people get tattoos. At other times they are discussions with fellow authors such as Kevin MacDonald. Although the YouTube medium demands more of your time for a given quantum of input, it is always entertaining. Recommend you look in.
