Excellent point. In fact, the Hubbard quote reminds me of the Biblical
claim that certain people are born to be haulers of wood and drawers of
water, which is only true if you prevent them from doing anything else.
Women's plight has been much the same.
Besides, Hubbard never prevented women from becoming executives in his
orgs, nor insisted they make time to raise children. So why this
selective misogyny?
I can just Imagine the outrage if some religious leader tried to claim
that men's only roles were to fight wars and do manual labour to support
their families, and that only women were equipped for leadership in
academia, politics, science, and finance.

Hi Glen - very true.
The "normalized"Hubbard's logic was bound up in expansion of the Church.
He rejected classical logic and persuaded his followers to also reject
classical logic and accept his Data series
.
The result was that he used ad hominem (Appealing to personal
considerations (rather than to fact or reason) in many of his "sermons"
He used positioning in the same way politicians use it.
The PTS/Sp, and Ethics tech is filled with ad hominem and similar
fallacious statements which his followers slavishly follow.
You will notice that Dennis promotes "Logic" and explains why some
reject Logic.
He says, "Logic is the science of reason. I only mention it here
because of the fact that as games become progressively more compulsive
with a being his behavior becomes progressively more illogical. Also
his regard for the subject of logic itself steadily lessens, until he
eventually considers the subject to be both useless and
incomprehensible. Thus, a person in a highly charged games condition
will have a terrible time trying to study logic; he will endlessly
burn the midnight oil trying to grasp even its most fundamental
axioms, then, failing, will refute the whole subject."
