What you talk about is a mechanistic kind of materialism, basically the over the top variant in wich the other side of the dialectics get lost.

And yes, things came into existence for no reason and no cause. Big bang, evolution, emergence of culture. No reason, no plan, no mechanistic predictable process, no god, no teleological history. Just interplay of material and ideas.

"Male = objective" is idealist, since it doesnt understand the interplay of the politics of gender

Nonsense. Idealists believe the physical world, including anatomical sex, is an illusion created by our minds. No idealist would say maleness is objective. But a materialist would. Because materialists believe in physical matter.

You should check out http://soulism.net for a further analysis of why materialism is reactionary.

As it seems your goal when applying the activity of thinking is to travel the realms of mind and soul. Mine is to understand the world so I can change it for the better. As long as this persist, we will have different opinions. Not genuinly because of truth, but because of why we decide to think.

Have a nice day though.

You should read the Feuerbachthesen!
