This essay introduces a new concept in psychology: the B-F spectrum. This is short for Bogan-Faggot spectrum, which is a way of measuring maladapative personalities on a scale from 1 to -1, with a score of 0 a good healthy medium that will allow for well-adjusted behaviour in most instances.
At one far end of the B-F spectrum is the Bogan Pole, represented by the extreme value of 1. This is essentially the pole of maladapted masculinity, or an excess of masculinity. This is so named after the hyper-aggressive, low-intelligence bogans that make life really hard for working-class people, by causing society to think of them when they think of the working class.
Here we find a masculinity so stubborn and unyielding that parents regularly hit and verbally abuse their children, reasoning that the children need to grow up “hard” in order to cope with the challenges of life. At the Bogan Pole, all emotional expression is for faggots. Expressing an emotion is a sign of weakness because it is evidence that one has lost one’s self-composure.
At the Bogan Pole, there is to be no similarity between men and women. Men are hard, women are soft, end of story. There are a set of actions and displays that are only permissible for men, and there are others that are only permissible for women. Any man or woman who performs an action or display characteristic of the other gender is subhuman.
At the other end of the B-F spectrum is the Faggot Pole, represented by the extreme value of -1. This is the pole of maladapted femininity, or excessive femininity. It is named after the hyper-passive-aggressive, overly sensitive faggots that make life really hard for homosexual people, by causing society to think of them when they think of homosexuals.
This is a kind of toxic femininity that demands that everyone and everything be forced to be equal. It is a kind of slave morality, in that it demands that everyone be meek and self-effacing, lest they be shamed into it by the collective. At the Faggot Pole, all assertive expression (such as the setting of boundaries) is for bogans. Anyone who has a high self-esteem has to be ripped down the level of the collective.
At the Faggot Pole, there is to be no difference between men and women. An individual can possess any characteristic whatsoever, or fail to possess any characteristic whatsoever, and still assert that they are either man or woman (or anything else). Anyone who claims otherwise is a filthy bogan, because they are setting boundaries and that is masculine.
Also at the Faggot Pole is a relaxed attitude to sexual abuse of children. In much the same way that people at the Bogan Pole, being hyper-masculine, don’t consider violence against children to be a bad thing, neither do people at the Faggot Pole, being hyper-feminine, consider sexuality towards children to be a bad thing. People at this pole are far more likely to believe that they are doing children a favour by molesting them.
The B-F spectrum is an alchemical triangle in the sense that the healthiest behaviour lies in the middle. Both the Bogan Pole and the Faggot Pole represent extremes of behaviour that are not well adapted to the challenges that our society offers. The central position, represented by 0, refers to behaviour that is neither hypermasculine nor hyperfeminine – just balanced, intelligent, appropriate behaviour.
It could be that some situations genuinely demand the taking of a particular position on the B-F spectrum, or at least one close to one of the poles. If an individual goes to war, it makes sense to take a B-F position closer to 1 on account of the violence and deprivation that they will encounter. If an individual makes love, it makes sense to take a B-F position closer to -1 on account of that one is in a situation where boundaries are dissolved.
It’s worth noting that the poorer a person is, the more likely they are to approach the Bogan Pole, and the wealthier a person is, the more likely they are to approach the Faggot Pole. This is a long-observed phenomenon. The most common downfall for any man mighty enough to make himself into a king was having a son who becomes effeminate as a result of the wealth and comfort in which he lives, and who thereby becomes too weak to maintain his position.
There is, as of yet, no questionnaire that will estimate where an individual is on the Bogan-Faggot spectrum. Future research will have to identify variables that correlate with excessive masculinity or excessive femininity, and from there it will be possible to develop a set of questions. In any case, intuitive estimations might still have some use.

I really enjoyed this article, and it’s very true. Despite being an American, I understand it perfectly and got a few good laughs out of it. Australia’s own Gary Orsum (a conservative YouTube personality) taught me about ‘toothless bogans’ and ‘bush-pigs’. The term ‘bogan’ has such a nice ring to it when compared to our less creative ‘white trash’ and ‘redneck’. Also, I can’t say ‘bush-pig’ without smiling.
With that said, the word ‘faggot’ is very outdated—it’s an effective word, but way too specific for today. Additionally, unlike ‘bogan’, ‘bush pig’, ‘white trash’, or even ‘ho’, you can’t get away with saying ‘faggot’ publicly without offending LOTS of people. From what I hear, Australia’s problematic social situation with free speech pertaining to LGBT (alphabet people) and ethnic slurs is worse than it is here in the USA. Perhaps a different word for your scale would be more fitting for a public audience. I don’t care if you say ‘faggot’ though, as I’m not a fag. ‘Beta’ is a better term, at least for referring to male ‘faggots’.
Anyways, aside from being funny, your article has some real truth to it. I live in a very liberal and so-called progressive part of the USA. Therefore, anytime anyone refers to themselves as ‘working class’ or a ‘working man’, they get assaulted by faggots and immediately labeled redneck, white trash, etc. and are usually looked down upon by the fags/betas/SJW’s as being poorly educated and uncultured. It’s very annoying to say the least. Basically, if you DON’T:
1.) Live in or near a city
2.) Listen to liberal media
3.) Constantly talk about: how racist and sexist the western world is, how men control everything, about global warming, white privilege, and the hundred other ridiculous faggot-y ideologies.
4.) Eat a modern fad diet like vegan, pescetarian, keto, etc.
5.) Drink fancy coffee — ironically harvested by poor people in a 3rd world country
6.) Use up-to-date Apple electronics
7.) Use social media to brag about all of the above whilst being and doing all that you proclaim not to be or do.
…then you’re a backwoods redneck / toothless bogan.
Well, that’s my ten cents (or dollars). Just wanted to give a big tip of the hat for a good article and bring something to the table in return. Best regards from the USA, and stay sane!
