competence. In the light of the distorted rules of this religion,
women assume that appearance and, willingly or not, accept the ob-
ligation to reflect those defects. That state of mind imposed on
women causes a very different personality to emerge, with all the at-
tendant attitudes and behavior. The subconscious, delusional idea
has been planted that these spiritual and psychological weaknesses
are natural, part and parcel of being a woman. Women who adopt
the role of irrationality, ignorance and incompetence shaped by soci-
ety gradually do become genuinely irrational, ignorant and incom-
petent.
In the eyes of this false religion, the aspects of women that need
to be brought to the fore are those that make them female, such as fa-
cial and bodily beauty—rather than intellectual and spiritual
beauty—, and sentimentality. Even those who believe themselves
members of the most cultured and contemporary section of society
still abide by this rule.
Distorted views and moral values peculiar to Ignorantism are
constructed around this fundamental logic.
Inability to think heads the list of the characteristics prescribed
by the Religion of the Ignorant. A woman who has adopted this false
belief therefore feels no need to exercise her mind on any subject. By
making use of others' thoughts, she is unable to offer a solution on
any matter, but merely implements those put before her. If her family
falls on economic hard times, she will leave the solution to her hus-
band to find. She herself, however, will offer no alternative as to
what will be most advantageous to them or how they should go
about making ends meet. She will see herself as being totally outside
the issue, beyond accusing her husband of not bringing home
enough money.
