Cognitive Telegony and the Spectral Reproduction of Gynocentrism: An Exposé on Ideological Residue

In modern political discourse, the topics of misandry and gynocentrism are typically framed in crude binaries: women versus men, feminists versus traditionalists, victims versus oppressors. These framings, while emotionally charged, are intellectually shallow. They personalize and moralize forces that are far more complex, far older, and far more impersonal than most participants in the conversation are willing to admit.

This exposé offers a radically different interpretation. It argues that misandry and gynocentrism are not simply cultural ideologies or individual beliefs. They are the downstream effects of what might be called cognitive telegony—the psychic and symbolic inheritance of ideological residues across generations, institutions, and symbolic structures. Like the outdated but metaphorically potent biological theory of telegony—where the traits of a former sexual partner were believed to imprint on future offspring—these ideological formations persist not through direct transmission, but through ghostly repetition, symbolic sediment, and unconscious resonance.

In this light, neither women nor men can be simplistically blamed. The question of guilt or victimhood dissolves. Everyone, to varying degrees, inherits, internalizes, and reproduces these patterns unconsciously. Just as a fetus might inherit the echo of a previous mate, a society inherits the echo of symbolic structures it no longer remembers. These ideological ghosts—gynocentrism, misandry, maternal dominance, sacrificial masculinity—continue to haunt the present without requiring belief or consent. Their power is not enforced by the state or demanded by the mob. It is lived, assumed, mimicked, and reproduced without being fully seen.

This model escapes the traditional Marxist base-superstructure dialectic. In that model, either the material base (economy, labor, class) determines ideology, or ideology (media, religion, education) shapes material life. But misandry and gynocentrism emerge from neither exclusively. Instead, they arise from a third field: a noetic-symbolic unconscious, a karmic field of inherited myths, archetypes, traumas, and symbolic roles. These are not merely "ideas" or "structures"—they are ideological karmas: feedback loops of meaning that persist through unconscious replication and ritualized repetition.

In this deeper framework, feminism—particularly in its gynocentric or misandrist expressions—functions less as a coherent political ideology and more as a hypostasis, a metaphysical condensation of power, grievance, and myth. It becomes a demiurgic force, not unlike the archons in Gnostic thought, who do not create out of love or reason, but who seduce and distort the world through imitation of truth. Gynocentrism, then, is not simply woman-centered politics. It is the energetic overcoding of culture with maternal authority, emotional primacy, and symbolic immunity—a return of the repressed Mother-Goddess figure, stripped of wisdom and inflated into the social norm.

Misandry follows not as its opposite, but as its residue. It is not born from experience alone, nor from some conscious decision to hate men. It is the karmic echo of unbalanced maternal coding—of sons raised without fathers, of cultures that sacralize feminine pain but pathologize masculine strength or suffering, of institutions that reward compliance and punish protection. Misandry is not a hatred, but a wound with memory.

This approach offers a non-dualist critique of ideology. It does not seek to reverse the power dynamic—to replace one victim with another, or to assign new guilt. Instead, it reveals the entire framework of dualism as insufficient. Subjective agency (the conscious decisions of individuals) and objective structure (the material or institutional systems of power) are no longer enough to explain what we see. What matters is the field in between—the zone of affect, memory, symbol, repetition, and trauma. This is the domain of ideological karma, where archetypes reincarnate without being reborn, and where ancient myths find new vessels in modern institutions.

In this framework, emancipation is not achieved by flipping the script. It is not enough to oppose feminism with traditionalism, or misandry with misogyny. These are just new dialectical pairs, new repetitions of an old cycle. True liberation demands metanoia—a break from the karmic cycle itself. That requires a new form of awareness: not political awareness alone, but symbolic, metaphysical, and even spiritual awareness.

This is not mysticism for its own sake. It is political metaphysics—an attempt to grasp how power operates not only through laws and narratives, but through the unconscious sediment of civilization. What if the real force behind contemporary ideological dysfunction is not a class, or a gender, or a conspiracy, but a kind of spectral inheritance? What if we are living under the reign not of patriarchy or matriarchy, but of karmarchy—rule by the unresolved residues of historical symbolism?

The stakes of this question are immense. Without this deeper frame, critique devolves into blame, and blame into polarization. But with it, a new form of analysis becomes possible—one that sees misandry and gynocentrism not as aberrations or aggressions, but as the karmic consequences of forgotten myths.

These myths, like all karmas, can only be dissolved by being brought into conscious awareness. The first step is seeing that they are not ours—but that we are nonetheless responsible for how they continue to live through us.
