For me, my own mother is a stereotypical manosphere example of a "devoutely Churchese" woman who will threaten divorce with any excuse, and ignore reason. My 18 year old sister is the stereotypical girl that ran off and shacked up with a loser, only to break up with him when she was tired of getting punched. Most of the girls I've met at school are slight variations on negative cliches, and the churches I've attended were fairly feminized or just idiotic. When young men like me then can't stand women, who should be surprised?<br /><br />2. Cappy, you're saying our revenge is through non-participation... yet you advise repeatedly that men like us should just become security guards?? Security guards are a crappy job, really, unless you're an armed bodyguard or the like. That hardly makes for men that women will lament they can't persuade into marrying them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-58647212997132202742013-09-28T16:31:07.417-07:002013-09-28T16:31:07.417-07:00I've thought for a long time now that a certai...I've thought for a long time now that a certain period of misogyny is nearly a requirement for passing through one's red pill phase and emerging on the other side as a happier, healthier man. It used to be I was confused when girls were drawn to jerks, no matter how pretty or homely, smart or stupid. When it finally clicked, and when I was first able to deliberately replicate those results to my own advantage, the result was not a happy one. It's why so much of the manosphere's woman-hate comes from new guys. This is the catalyst for their emotional breaking point, and a safe place to vent, all rolled into one. My handful of real-life redpilled friends all went through the same phase.<br /><br />The key is to pass through it, like the four stages of grief, and eventually learn to accept women as they are - the same way that women must learn to accept men as they are. The same way we learn to accept the economy as it is and enjoy the decline. No malice, just pragmatism and humor.<br /><br />At least some of it is projection. In the past five or six years since I discovered Game and passed my woman-hating phase, the only two times I've been truly angry at any woman were immediately after I did a beta-backslide and lost her interest. That's certainly at least partly my own fault, and something I should have known better than to do.<br /><br />It's going to be the biggest stumbling block to getting mainstream acceptance of our philosophies (assuming that ever happens). Lay people will see guys in the midst of opening their eyes and getting angry, then immediately reject the whole concept because male anger is simply not acceptable in society at large (as evidence of that statement, picture what happens to a divorced dad having his children stolen from him if he so much as raises his voice at opposing counsel).MaccAodhnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-16229558151651776802013-09-28T08:43:51.480-07:002013-09-28T08:43:51.480-07:00Amen, Cappy.

Plato's ideas. Hegel's Ideals. The "abstract ideas and generalities" Burke described as the motive for the French Revolution. These are the intellectual foundation upon which Communism, Socialism, Feminism, etc are built. And they don't exist.<br /><br />Once upon a time, I was very rude to a perfectly kind and undeserving young woman because I was angry at an idea called Women. A phantasm. An idea that had no existence whatsoever except in my own head.<br /><br />These non-existent ideas are the basis of pagan thought and logic and are featured prominently in their speech. So some men, not knowing any better, will take them up and use them. Especially younger men.

I'm 53, she's 46 (but Asian and slender). <br /><br />I tell the women I know who are a decade younger that they need to look at the 50 ish men -- and in their 40s at the 60 ish men -- because younger will not bite. <br /><br />(Ladies, dressing like a teenager when you are middle aged is embarrasing.

So?<br /><br />For my part, there are women that I enjoy... and women that I don't. My evaluation usually stops there.<br /><br />But culturally, what does it matter if there are men out there that hate women? They express their opinions, live their lives and that's about it. Our cultural problem is women (and men) who hate men; They express their opinions and are taken seriously in the media and academia and their opinions are made into policy. If everyone blew these misandrists off as cranks, they'd be just as harmless as misogynist men.Type 5noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-80354758894112875772013-09-27T14:37:14.521-07:002013-09-27T14:37:14.521-07:00Yep, I was initially enthusiastic about being a ca...Yep, I was initially enthusiastic about being a card-carrying member of the manosphere, but it didn't take long before I felt the need to put some distance between myself and some stalwarts of the movement.

These boys only serve as ammunition in the feminist armory.... Feminists revel in it."</i><br /><br />The feminists need attention to survive as feminists, but also need to shun all but the highest-quality mates to retain their "cred." They <b>need</b> the "boys" - as many as can be found - to give them that attention. They <b>feed</b> on it. And the "boys" are happy to give it; they'll fall over themselves in droves in attempts to prove themselves, but will never live up to the feminist's standards. Thus, they get rejected, and that rejection feeds <b>both</b> the false-man's misogyny and the feminist's ego.<br /><br />The REAL man - rather than trying to prove himself equal to impossible standards and inevitably failing - knows to the core of his being his qualities and shortcomings, and is comfortable in them. He does not play the feminist game, nor waste his attention on it, and seeks to find a mate like himself -similarly disinclined to play the worthless games.<br /><br />Of course, this singular quality makes him an ideal mate for the feminist, but she has no power over him because he has no time or desire for her.<br /><br />As the computer JOSHUA said in the movie <i>Wargames</i>: "The only way to win is not to play."Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09378629103793458871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-26457740105361105932013-09-27T12:53:00.256-07:002013-09-27T12:53:00.256-07:00Here!

They are big girls with their own big readership, they might appreciate but certainly don't need the white knighting.<br /><br />That there exist women who would turn the manoshere into a feminist movement to benefit themselves is no secret. Dr. Laura did such a thing to her onetime male fans ages ago. Susan Walsh more recently. Susan Venker or Christina Hoff Summers would do the same today given the chance. Even the anti male circumcision movement of all things has been turned into a quasi feminist movement about benefitting women.<br /><br />Radicals, and Cap you are a radical in today's America, don't horse trade their message purity with every sympathetuc interest group that intrudes.

Some of the content in the manosphere leaves you feeling depressed and cynical. When it's meant to be liberating. I just need to get laid, haha. <br /><br />I admit I need to approach more, which is hard because of logistics. I literally live up the side of a mountain with no car. It's hard enough approaching women, let alone doing it with no incentive. Convincing a girl to come home with me would be like asking her to jump on a stairmaster for half an hour.

A thousand times this.<br />The men in the manosphere should have no trouble getting attention from a high quality woman(intelligent, capable of logic, and makes some effort at being attractive to the opposite sex). These men are and should be coveted. Available women reject men for 2 reasons, 1)because they are bitches and don't deem the suitor of high enough value (you don't want these anyway.) or 2) you aren't high enough value and are trying to play above your league. The hard truth is that there are boys playing in the manosphere sandbox with delusions of adequacy. Men make an effort to change their situation; boys play dress up and parade around as victims lashing out at any perceived slight. These boys only serve as ammunition in the feminist armory. They really are childish and inept and misogynistic. Just like a prime time sitcom!<br />Feminists revel in it. It gives them a false sense of superiority. They use them as examples even though these boys are not men.<br />The men of the manosphere are fantastic. Out of the league of an unfortunately large number of girls that have bought into the feminist lie. <br />If you want to land a high quality woman, be a high quality man. Don't demean yourself with the shrews. Cap is right, your best revenge is to deny them your company.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05697173636167216585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-39342875468750070562013-09-27T09:52:44.722-07:002013-09-27T09:52:44.722-07:00The sanction of the victim.
