Makow Oldie but Goodie:

One of the most celebrated plays in American Literature, A Streetcar Named Desire (1947) by the homosexual Tennessee Williams, depicts men as “subhuman”, and heterosexual family and society as frauds.

By Henry Makow Ph.D.

(This is a revised  version of an article I posted in August 2001.)

In my view, the feminist belief that society is sexist and homophobic  masks an Illuminati campaign to undermine heterosexuality.

One of the most celebrated plays in American Literature, A Streetcar Named Desire (1947) depicts men as “subhuman”, and heterosexual family and society as frauds.

The play, produced by Irene Selznick, contributed to the “modern” sense that human life has no inherent dignity, value or purpose. The play is an early example of homosexual-Illuminati Jewish subversion.

Feminists have also made common cause with homosexuals by promoting a genderless society.

In “The New Victorians” (1996), Rene Denfeld writes that feminists regard heterosexuality as the model for all oppression and homosexuality as the remedy.

“For many of today’s feminists, lesbianism is far more than a sexual orientation, or even a preference. It is, as students in many colleges learn, an ideological, political and philosophical means of liberation of all women from heterosexual tyranny…” (45)

MALE AS “SUBHUMAN”

Long before feminists portrayed men as rapists, Tennessee Williams depicted Stanley Kowalski in these terms.

Stanley drives his sister-in-law, Blanche DuBois, insane by raping her while his wife Stella is in the hospital bearing his son. Blanche is portrayed as a tragic heroine; Stanley as the symbol of a brutish male-dominated society; and the traditional family as a fraud.

Blanche DuBois has been driven out of her hometown for her immoral ways. Sick and broke, she takes refuge with her sister’s archetypal traditional family.

Stanley, carrying the “red stained package from the butcher’s” is the male protector and provider (Signet, p. 13).

The pregnant Stella, nurturing and malleable, is the epitome of the feminine. She believes in her husband: “it’s a drive that he has” (50). The couple is madly, sensually in love.

There is a startling similarity between
Tennessee Williams’ homosexual perspective and the modern feminist one.
As we shall see, guilt and self-loathing motivate both.

Blanche/Williams is determined to make heterosexuality appear pathological. Immediately on arrival, Blanche refers to Stella’s home as “this horrible place.” (19)

She reproaches Stella for not saving the plantation: “Where were you? In bed with your Pollack!” as if this were wrong (27).

When Stanley and Stella exchange blows, like a counselor at a womyn’s shelter, Blanche urges Stella to leave her husband, open a shop, and become independent (67).

Stanley is genuinely repentant for hitting Stella although today this would be discounted as part of “the cycle of violence.”

In fact, Blanche has made the pregnant Stella criticize and defy her husband for the first time. Now like her feminist sisters, the envious Blanche hopes the resulting violence will shatter the family altogether.

Stella ignores Blanche’s appeals, and while cleaning says: “I’m not in anything that I want to get out of.” (65). Blanche persists: “Stop! Let go of that broom. I won’t have you cleaning up for him!” (66)

The feminist tone is again heard in Blanche’s dehumanizing of Stanley.

“There’s something downright bestial about him! … He acts like an animal, has animal’s habits! … There’s even something subhuman something not quite to the stage of humanity yet! Yes, something ape-like about him, like one of those pictures I’ve seen in anthropological studies.”(71)

Can you imagine a modern play in which a man says this of a Jew, a woman, an African American or a homosexual?

Stanley overhears this conversation, yet this supposedly ape-like creature does not react violently. He patiently tolerates Blanche although she has been living in their two-room apartment for six months.

Blanche, a demented pitiable woman, assumes the mantel of progress and civilization.

“God! Maybe we are a long way from being made in God’s image, but Stella my sister; there has been some progress since then! … In this dark march toward whatever it is we’re approaching . . . Don’t hang back with the brutes!” (72)

At the end of the play, Williams has achieved his unconscious goal: destroying the heterosexual male and family. Stella must ignore her sister’s claims of rape in order to preserve her family. “I couldn’t believe her story and go on living with Stanley,” she says (133). Nevertheless, her family is bereft of moral legitimacy. In the movie version, Stella becomes a single mother. She leaves Stanley vowing never to return.

HOMOSEXUAL SELF-HATRED

There is more to this picture than meets the eye.

First, Tennessee Williams often said that he was Blanche DuBois.

The similarities are clear. Like Blanche Dubois, Williams was neurasthenic, lusted for Stanley, and was very promiscuous.

In the play, Blanche warns herself not to seduce the newspaper boy, “I’ve got to be good and keep my hands off children.”(84)

Second, Tennessee Williams hated himself. His friend Gore Vidal said: “He is still too much the puritan not to believe in sin. At some deep level, Tennessee believes that the homosexual is wrong and the heterosexual is right. Given this all pervading sense of guilt, he is drawn in life and work to the idea of expiation, of death.” (Ronald Hayman, “Tennessee Williams: Everyone Else is an Audience,” 1993. p.xviii)

The guilt-ridden Williams/Blanche wants to be destroyed by Stanley to expiate his sins. (Blanche calls Stanley “my executioner” before she even meets him.)

But, in this psychodrama, Williams doesn’t have the integrity to confess his guilt feelings and admit his death wish. He postures as a hero by identifying Blanche’s defeat with the cause of progress and culture. Thus he transfers to Stanley and society the hatred he feels for himself.

Robert J. Stoller, an eminent psychiatrist and UCLA Professor, described this process in his book, “Perversion: The Erotic Form of Hatred” (1975).

“Homosexuals, taught self-hatred in childhood, persist in attracting punishment because in part they agree with the cruel straight society; they provoke attack in order to be humiliated . . .Revenge energizes aspects of many homosexuals’ behaviour, erotic and otherwise. In order to salvage a sense of value from the foci of despair, they must strike back at all who have qualities like old enemies of their childhood.” (201-202)

CONCLUSION

Tennessee Williams’ Streetcar Named Desire is an example of how the financial elite used a homosexual playwright to negate the family and twist the way heterosexuals think about themselves and society.

Since heterosexuals have derived their meaning from family roles for millennia, Williams contributed to the malaise that characterizes the modern era.

Williams’ example indicates that this destructive impulse, which feminists share, may spring from a deep sense of envy, failure, and self-loathing.

Having missed the Streetcar of Life, they now want to blow up the tracks.

Comments for “A Streetcar Named “Straight Bashing””

My 17-year-old daughter met a boy at a party. He was homeless at the time, hadn’t slept or eaten in days. She told him that she had it good and that he could come home with her, that she would give him a place to stay, food to eat, and share what she had with him. He has lived with us for nearly a year. We all were talking the other day, and he said that he couldn’t believe how much he had changed in a year. He gets up, goes to work, is off the drugs, and is a totally different person than he used to be. He even has a little money in the bank, which he is saving so that they can have a place of their own. “You believed in me,” he told her the other day, “and doing THIS for you makes my life worthwhile.” THIS is what the elite’s subversive plot is exactly trying to destroy, the male-female relationship which our creator put in place. Look around, people are being freed from these roles and are more miserable than ever.

Gays are not shunned; they are cool! Turn on MTV! There are gays and bisexuals even in my daughter’s middle school. Young people are conditioned to accept this as normal, as trendy, and as cool…. to accept this way of life and turn away from the ways of their God, and many “Christians,” by not understanding what is REALLY going in, are driving them away from their God instead of to him; thus furthering the Satanist’s agenda. They are the target generation, to accept the NWO and know nothing of their God and His ways. So that when the time comes, they will be so miserable within and HATE their God that made them, that they will accept the New World Order without complaint… and perhaps receive “the mark” of the Beast (gov’t implant). It is for this generation that we speak, not ourselves.

The thought that Williams identified himself with Blanch just shows what a sick puppy he was.That’s just bent. And this is one of the “American
Masters” of literature. Gay writers invariably write about nothing that doesn’t involve and justify their sexual proclivity. It’s obsessive.

The damage is caused when they have this need to turn the world gay through their subversive literature–most insidious in Williams (also Nabakov)who were queers that masqueraded their novels in terms of male / female dynamics–when they were in fact writing their gay fantasies.
Yes, that was part of the psyop twisting public perception of ‘gender relations’.

In reality, what does a homosexual have to say about male/female dynamics? that means Blanche is really a male character, a drag queen.
And Stanley can’t be a model of a heterosexual man, coming from a homosexual writer, Stanley can only be the model of a homosexual in ‘denial’. A ‘butch’.

This shit has been palmed off as a valid statement on heterosexual relations in the 1950’s.

Why do an analysis of gender roles on a 60 year old story that is not relevant to contemporary society at all?

Pick up a People magazine, women are not fearful of men as rapists, they fawn over men. Mr. Mrs. Smith is probably a more relevant and culturally charged story to discuss heterosexual roles. The problem is you have to reach back to a 60 year old understanding of feminism and
homosexuality to justify your campaign to save the males.

No wonder Tennessee Williams was self loathing, he was raised in a culture that deemed homosexuality a mental and moral disorder. If there was such a consipracy to convert people to homosexuality wouldn’t at least one of Hollywood’s many long term male couples have ben invited to walk down the red carpet? Instead gay males are still shunned thanks to the bigoted and ignorant who still promote the idea that the sight of two men together is an assault on religion and personal identity.

Lesbians are fine because that fits a heterosexual male fantasy.

This false declaration of an attack on heterosexual men is used a the justification to beat gay men to death in every country in the world. I suppose we gays should just hush up since its now unlikely that we will be lynched for loving one another in the good ole USofA. Gays don’t have problems with heterosexuals, most of us are born to heterosexual families. You are our mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers. Stop this uncontemporary and senseless lie.

P- This novel is taught in every American lit class so it is still relevant and illustrates how literature is often used as propaganda. You must be living in a cave if you can”t see that the elites are using homosexuality to undermine heterosexuals. Gay activists don’t seek “tolerance”; they want compliance. This week, the local university is holding a “question your gender” campaign. What’s that all about?
Why are they trying to convert heterosexuals?

Straights need to realize that every attack is disguised as an act of self defence. I have nothing against responsible gays, just the financial elite sponsored homosexual agenda.

As paradoxical as it may sound, sometimes I think I’d be more attractive to modern ‘women’ if I was a homosexual, or even acted like one. The
‘liberated’ and conniving trash that pass-off as womanhood these days want to be in complete control; ’tis easier for them to dictate terms to a soft,self-loathing and genderless debaucher. Have homosexuals and feminists ever heard of the family unit? The fact is, though, that the women that are attracted to those creatures (I won’t call them men) are not real women.

They are best ignored and left to rot in their own psychological prison cell untill they are too old to have children. Then they can spend the rest of their lives in regretful misery just like their homosexual allies, while still lying to their peers about how ‘successful’ they’ve been in NOT having a family or finding REAL love. A real woman is loving, nurturing,graceful and not overly opinionated; these are some of the things that make her truly happy. I don’t see many real women in western society. If a ‘woman’ ever asks you to become overly ‘sensitive’, or asks you to do anything that you’d consider emasculating, show her the door and lock it;she hasn’t met the parameters, and is unfit to be a loving partner.

Interesting about that – in my acting days I got very familiar with Tennessee William’s material, and I still appreciate his late 40s to early 60s plays – he was a master of the well-made play and a real poet, but of course, it was part of an incremental shattering of civilised society as you describe. Another aspect of his lead males were that they were narcissistic, sensitive outsiders – in real life this type are usually selfish, destructive brutes (as the private lives of the actors who portrayed these kind of characters – Marlon Brando, with his abortionists on retainer, and James Dean, the human ashtray etc – show.)

Tennessee Williams was the epitome of a delicate, mother dominated aesthetic type which occurs over and over again in the Arts, from Oscar Wilde and Andre Gide and James Baldwin down they have a love of handsome criminal thugs, and an alarming tendency to get beaten and robbed by them (and occasionally murdered.)

So I suppose Williams contributed to the narcissistic infantilising of the western male as well as the brutalization. No wonder he spent the last years of his life in a drunken stupor!
