Do you think there’s something unnatural or sinister about these gender divides? Does Vonnegut’s Handicapper General need to step in.

Or maybe, just maybe, we should cherish that women are women and men are men in ways that go fairly deep?

The sex differences aren’t so much “men enjoy things, women enjoy people”, than the deep soc…[Read more]

That’s the feminist parody of the relation between the sexes.

It’s the basic social game plan of patriarchy.

Just because something is “natural” – i.e., it exists in nature – doesn’t mean it is good.

The alternative to hierarchies of any kind is egalitarianism.

Males are designed by Nature to be the alphas in most cases.

You’re talking about patriarchy.  Males are designed by Nature to reproduce, and patriarchal domination and control is the least risky method of: mate retention; ensuring paternity; and maximising reproductive success by mating with the maximum number of females.

Cynicism and a transactional, bargaining attitude and trying to buy women will make nobody happy.  That’s not the way to have a happy relationship.

She also has to give the guy the feeling that she’s not contending to be the alpha in the relationship

So one of them has to be the alpha?  And it’s the man?

A high percentage of these women exhibit two things: 1) no empathy for the role of the male in today’s scene; 2) a sense of entitlement, as though the world owes them a partner.

What does it mean to be a beautiful woman?  They go through life like movie stars or celebrities.  This is going to make some of them feel entitled.

a quick hump in the alley behind the bar can result in a guy paying the woman to raise children she won’t even let him be a father to.

Maybe it could, but – don’t you watch Judge Judy? – it’s still his responsibility, and he can apply to the court for visitation or partial custody, if he were so disposed.

Listen to these women discussing their standards, and it’s no wonder they are being ignored.

It’s true that women have had a tendency to rely on men financially.  Why would this be?  Two possible reasons: 1) the gilded cage of patriarchy, which likes women to be dependent and subservient; 2) women rely on resources to raise children.

I wouldn’t necessarily call the directive Orwellian – just dumb and misplaced – it wouldn’t necessarily work very well.  On the other hand, it does get the subject onto the public agenda.

Not at work, but in life in general. I’ve been accused of being either a stalker or gay (standoffish). I just don’t get it.

It’s a minefield.

Well, I agree with everything Sall Grover says in this video.  There’s always a baseline of atypical, antisocial people of either sex.  But patriarchy gives men an extra reason to be shitty, and it’s built in to society.

The problem driving MGTOW isn’t women generally, it’s Western women. Woke, feminized, #MeToo women. Men are finding that they have far fewer problems with women outside the Western world. Non-Western women still know how to be feminine and make men feel needed and important.

But you can’t say that women are at fault for trying or…[Read more]

It’s nihilistic.  Many of them fantasise about shooting up shopping malls.

That said, nowadays avoiding women as a legal strategy makes a certain kind of sense.

It all sounds like a philosophy of life for people who don’t like themselves, or who don’t realise we only get one chance at life, or something like that.  Don’t they want to be happy, and have a nice life?  I think if they were genuine people, r…[Read more]

I think that Tom Leykis doesn’t like women.

It seems like a very cynical point of view.  I don’t see how that guy will ever be happy – indoor shades or not.

Jake – it can be, if other things are valued above human life and welfare and avoidance of suffering.

Visual confirmation that Religion and Morality are two very different things:

If these people are religious extremists, and not just criminals, then I think this is a case of sacredness of an overriding principle or idea leading to committing evil in other ways.

In other words, if something has infinite value, then other…[Read more]
