Repsot: what is ideology

IDEOLOGY makes appeals to the idea of an invisible, essential identity. It is thought that women are, by nature, dependent. Therefore, if they act independently — which is to say, “as they are not” — they must necessarily be acting masochistically. It’s interesting how the very function of ideology, as such, is to get things back to front. There are a very few people who seem to realize that ideology functions by reversing cause and effect and making the effect of violence seem to be an invitation to violence (i.e. its cause). Most people don’t see how this works, and thus you have such abominations at the Men’s Movement, whereby thoughtful men try to correct  what they calim to be female masochism, by demanding a return to Kinder, Küche, Kirche.
