How Do You Solve a Problem Like Alexandria?

According to Dutton (in the book about witches & feminists), 

atheism can be understood, in evolutionary terms, as a "spiteful mutation," which is associated with being maladaptive. 

And according to Dávila,  

Militant irreligion gradually transforms the one possessed into a simple imbecile convulsed by hatred.

Once again, modern science confirms ancient wisdom. 

Whether we call them spiteful mutants or hateful imbeciles, it's the underlying reality that counts. 

Supposing, say, AOC, is a modern-day witch, we're still left with the question: just how do you solve a problem like Alexandria? In the majority of cases the problem used to solve itself via marriage and motherhood, but the left has successfully demonized these healthy adaptations, especially among the most indoctrinated (i.e., adultolescent female college [g]rads).

The etiology of the word "hysteria" goes back to the ancient Greeks, who couldn't help noticing that women and their moods can be a bit much. They posited the theory that hysterics suffer from a "wandering womb," and that pregnancy caused the womb to settle the f*ck down in one place.

I'm looking at an article that makes fun of this quaint notion, even though it was rooted in empirical observation unhampered by wacky wokery. These ancient healers weren't trying to hurt women, but to help them overcome the hysteria -- i.e., anxiety, panic, mood disorders, somatization, invisible handcuffs, etc.

Just because the explanation is wrong, it doesn't mean the treatment doesn't help. For example, just yesterday I read of a study "proving" that depression is not caused by a "chemical imbalance" in the brain, in particular, of serotonin. 

Which doesn't mean serotonin-enhancing medications don't work. Rather, if true, it just means we don't know why they work (when they work). I don't know how computers work, but it doesn't stop me from blogging.

Anyway, back to the problem. I wonder if the song provides any clues?
I hate to have to say it
But I very firmly feel
Alexandria’s not an asset to the congress
I’d like to say a word in her behalf
Alexandria makes me laugh
A flibbertijibbet! A will-o’-the wisp! A clown!
Many a thing you know you’d like to tell her
Many a thing she ought to understand
But how on earth do you debate her
Without her thinking you want to date her? 

At any rate, the ancients thought hysteria could be cured by having a baby, whereas modern primitives think women can be made happy by killing their babies. But apparently this isn't true:

Modern research has found that women who undergo abortion have a markedly different personality compared to those who do not. Females who have had abortions score higher than controls in histrionic characteristics, Narcissism, and anti-social personality.... So, females who have abortions are likely to be unpleasant, anti-social people....

If extreme feminists can be understood as modern day witches, then we would expect them not only to be in favor of abortion to be perversely proud of it. 

Ironically, if witch crazes unwittingly removed such spiteful mutants from the gene pool, so too does abortion, at least on average -- a sort of genetic self-immolation.

In any event,

as modern feminism is strongly linked to leftism or liberalism, "Second Wave Feminists" are more likely to suffer from mental illnesses, such as depression. Ideological feminists, like witches, are unhappy malcontents who are rejected by more content members of society. There is a degree to which they should be pitied (Dutton).

Problem is, they only seethe at your pity and concern. For example, consider Elizabeth Warren's unhinged emotional reaction to the pregnancy centers that exist precisely to help women:

With Roe gone, it’s more important than ever to crack down on so-called "crisis pregnancy centers" that mislead and deceive patients seeking abortion care.... We need to crack down on the deceptive practices these centers use to prevent people from getting abortion care, and I’ve got a bill to do just that. 

In other words, I'll get you, my pretty, and your little kid too!
