It's also explainable as a social phenomenon that has been with us since long before computers and internet...rather, it's a phenomenon that the internet has brought to the fore. Women are a social force for distributing moral facts and value statements, like a distributed network.
Very simply, men fight each other over values, women pick up the winners and distribute them, enforcing norms.
It's just that, today, you live in a society where the central government is the female's proxy husband, so yes, in many ways she does behave like an agent in the Matrix. In a feminist world, He is who subsidizes her independence. He provides no-fault divorce. He enforces child support payments, and hands out welfare benefits. He provides abortions, and sends the cops to do the dirty work if need be.
If men stood up and overthrew their government, women's behavior would change very suddenly.
For women, morals are badges or tokens that behave like signifiers of the men they are associated with. In the same way men wore an insignia of their family line or something, you can treat the kind of behavior we see morally today not so much as an actual moral phenomenon, but rather as a social one. You're seeing a lot of people just showing you the tokens of the gang they belong to (or religion, or tribe, or what have you).
I'm not against using the computer metaphors, but I also found they got a bit tiring after so many years. I'm favoring the appeal to history, not the future, now.
That's one version of it. This phenomena manifests itself in many different ways. Gatekeepers on forums are a good example, crying for censorship because the truth will claw at the very fabric of their reality.
I disagree. Most of the people these days have been fooled into a world full of metaphysics that people have been brainwashed to regurgitate since childhood. People are already in their matrix pods.
