From Andrew Cone in the comment section: "I think men and women are reacting to different explanations. When men can not answer and account for each of their thoughts and actions, they are given little sympathy. If [they] do not look authoritative, they are deemed dumb—by men and women alike. Women, meanwhile, are often cast as creatures of emotion and intuition, neither required nor expected to show expertise. So their statements are given less weight. So men talk more, and yes, that gets domin…

Egoism is a nonsensical redefinition of the concepts of selfishness and selflessness. If literally all actions were selfish in the normal sense of the word, people would have no use for the word. "Motivated" and "selfish" would be synonymous. You talk about "brain rewards..." More or less, if your brain rewards you for helping others without needing reciprocation, then you're not selfish. If your brain rewards you for helping yourself and doesn't reward you for helping others, then you are selfi…

You're arguing that women should be able to force men to financially support children they didn't agree to have because there is a relatively small subgroup of women that only has access to the same birth control men have access to? WHAT? Should a man be able to surrender paternal obligations because there weren't any condoms around? Holy shit. We're talking about legal rights. Women have the legal right to kill my kid without my consent, "but the clinic was overbooked and so far away and muh an…

If a poor couple decides to have a baby they can't really afford, best of luck to them and the baby. That's when they call the relatives, pick up second jobs, get into vocational training or community college, go to food shelves, get on public assistance, etc. But we're talking about a woman, regardless of financial status, having the right to force a man, regardless of financial status, to financially support a child he didn't want and often has no access to under penalty of imprisonment.

You made an assertion about why women dismiss men's opinions on the basis of their sex. I made an assertion about why women dismiss men's opinions on the basis of their sex. Neither of us provided any kind of data to support our assertions. You don't get to demand evidence from me without providing any yourself. This issue won't be settled here, but long story short, I think plenty of people of all different ideologies will find dishonest, lazy ways to win arguments in order to get what they wan…

No. Women's desire to maximize their reproductive freedom and control while minimizing their reproductive obligations is what leads women to dismiss men's opinions about their own reproductive rights. Women dismiss men's opinions on these matters because they don't want to let go of their unearned privilege, tee hee. Fuck off back to r/againstmensrights, please. "You have to go back."

A comment doesn't have to be non-factual to be retarded. You can make comments that are logically irrelevant to the issue at hand while posturing as though you've made a good point. You can make an invalid argument without stating a falsehood. You can string together facts in a way that betrays a misunderstanding not explicitly stated. Some of the justifications for abortion - both those upheld in a legal context and those cited by women who, you know, actually get abortions - probably are broad…

Michael Kimmel is a master gaslighter of young men. Video games as an affirmation of our tenuous power. LOL. We get more respect by disrespecting young women. Holy shit. The worst part is how he reportedly shakes his head when the young male student asserts that women are just as culpable for the nature of hookup culture as men. Sounds like the guy just reported an accurate observation based on his experience and Kimmel had to shut him down because basically Kimmel is an old-school paternalist w…

If you identify with your gender role, you have a gender identity. Being the breadwinner doesn't even make a man a man, other than metaphorically, let alone make a woman a man. Identifying with or as something doesn't make you that thing.

WTF you have given absolutely no reason to think that men don't have gender roles. Maybe you could argue that men's role was replaced by advanced technology and civil society, but that's not your argument. The female's reproductive role puts her in a vulnerable state where she can't protect and provide for herself as effectively. Male's reproductive role doesn't have that cost, so he makes himself useful through protection and provision. This dynamic has been going on so fucking long that it's r…

Gender identity came from the pressure to survive and reproduce, not the pressure to "fit in." Male and female animals experience different evolutionary pressures; human culture perpetuates ways of coping with those pressures. When humans achieve a rare level of safety and prosperity, those pressures alleviate, and thus the cultural structures designed to cope with those pressures either become unnecessary or even self-defeating. If you think the only distinctive thing about males is that they d…

I think you're assuming that men are better at combat roles while women are better at support roles. Frankly, I have no reason to think that women are better at support roles. There's a minority of women with outstanding skills, of course, but in general I don't think women on average would be better in technical roles, maintenance, communications, engineering, or even culinary fields. Basically men can do all those jobs just as well as women but they are better in combat than women, i.e. men ar…

Friendly advice, DumbFuck. Sometimes people over-generalize when they're talking about how they've been hurt. They get cynical. If you care enough to comment on it in the first place, just correct it and move on. You could've said something like, "Not all women have entitlement complexes. Lots of women work for a living and have no intention to stop doing so. From now on stay away from Daddy's Little Princess and only associate with women who have dignity, strength, and discipline."

The problem with the feminist definition of patriarchy is that it assumes that gender roles and/or male dominance are unjust. That should be the conclusion of an argument, not an assumption. The draft is bad because it forces people to fight in wars against their will, not because it rests on the objectively TRUE supposition that men are better at waging war than women. A "social mechanism" that puts men and women in EQUAL military roles is measurably inferior to one that tends to put more men i…

For most people, there's a huge chasm between their standards and their ideals. Most people's ideal body is either physically unattainable or not worth the cost of attaining. Likewise, most people do not "expect" to be with a physically perfect partner. Obviously most people would like to be with a 10; that doesn't mean they reject anybody who isn't a 10. Attraction just isn't the type of thing which can be realistic or unrealistic. It's either there or it isn't. It's a matter of taste. I love t…

Ironically, you are falsely accusing people of expressing hatred of rape victims. A few people lamented the fact that people "always believe women." That is obviously not an expression of hatred directed toward rape victims (I assume you mean female rape victims). If anything it is more an expression of frustration or disappointment at "white knights." You could have just corrected people's inaccurate assumptions and maintained the intellectual and moral high ground, but then you made the extra …

"There is no issue with false accusations here." You are correct that some people (apparently!) didn't bother to read the actual article and are making assumptions, but your statement here is not true either. You cannot be convicted of a crime in the absence of a criminal allegation. "False accusation" does not merely refer to perjury. Someone can falsely accuse you of a crime without knowing that their accusation is false. False accusation can be the result of an honest misidentification. False…

I so relate to this. I'm an aspiring musician in an urban area, and the vast majority of people in the local "scene" are very feminist/SJW-friendly. So many pretentious, pseudo-intellectual, wannabe-activist hipsters... So disappointing. Anyway, I would suggest either avoiding the conversation or studying up until you can pretty much win any argument, and also be able to re-frame and de-escalate discussions to make them less hostile.

Again you display your ignorance of the mythopoetics.

You've decided these people are "New Age hippies" even though they can far more coherently be understood as a response to the hippie movement that rejects certain defining characteristics of it, e.g. knee-jerk opposition of …

I didn't say everyone in the MRM was damaged, and I didn't say damaged people are universally unqualified to participate in activism. You pulled that out of nowhere. But if you look around at MGTOW/TRP/PUA/MRA spaces, you can't deny that some people could use some therapy! There's a demand for psychological tools, and a lot of what the manosphere offers is, to put it euphemistically, unhelpful.

Yeah no shit he has a "fuck society" attitude. A lot of people do. But it doesn't matter whether you were dealt good cards or bad, if you go around shooting people your behavior is going to be described in negative moral terms. Terms like "toxic."

Masculinity and femininity are not merely culture-imposed scripts. A culture's practices create feedback mechanisms, of course, but the masculine energy comes from within. A dysfunctional society doesn't know what to do with the young man's energy, so he and his peer group are left to figure it out on their own, and they often fail all too predictably. Without productive outlets to express masculine drives, you get a lot of young guys in gangs, dropping out of school, going to prison, womanizing…

The term "mythopoetic" is not a criticism or slur. Christ. There were distinct groups of men starting in the 80s collectively referred to as the "Mythopoetic Men's Movement." Those in the public eye felt the need to be sort of "feminist-friendly," but most were not feminists. The whole thing was considered part of a backlash against feminism since they praised male hierarchy, male leadership, male mentor-ship, and blamed a lot of society's ills (including "toxic masculinity") on the lack of thes…

So given that they're being attacked by feminists, odds are they're not feminist allies. But whether feminists like them or not is not the basis on which you should judge them; you'd have to actually read/listen to them for that.

Could you explain how your view on initiation disagrees with Bly's? You seem to think he advocates jettisoning male initiation because some boys will get hurt in the process, when that is the exact opposite of his view as far as I understand it! He is decrying the lack of initiation in today's society, leading to what he called the Sibling Society. To oversimplify, "toxic" masculinity is what you get when you fail to initiate boys into mature manhood. Young men experience rage because they haven…

They seem strikingly similar to MRAs in terms of their diagnoses of social problems and their acknowledgement of men's issues, as well as their direct denial of certain feminist criticisms of men and male culture. And for the most part modern MRAs are doing what they were: talking. Except most MRAs focus on specific inequalities whereas the mythopoetics often (though not always) wrapped their ideas up in the language of myths, poetry, and psychology. Problem is, anti-MRAs have their own (half-as…

Actually I think a lot of feminism is/was characterized by the idea that basically women were/are too "feminine" for their own good. Too passive, too quiet, too domestic, too monogamous, etc. Germaine Greer's "The Female Eunuch" is a famous example. But you're right that we also have feminists accusing others of femmephobia, saying "you do you," pro-motherhood feminism, feminists demanding safe spaces and trigger warnings, etc. Hey, no one ever accused feminism of being coherent...

The problem with the sentence "violence is inherent to maleness" is that it's just factually incorrect. Arguably aggression is inherent to masculinity, but not violence to maleness. A male fetus isn't even capable of violence, for instance. Nor is it impossible to imagine a man, or a black person, going a lifetime without violence. There's a difference between generalizations based on empirical data and absolutist/essentialist claims.

Nowhere did I express hatred of traditionalists. I disagree with some of their values and ideas; that is far from hatred. Likewise, praising the mythopoetics for being somewhere between traditionalists and feminists is hardly an endorsement.

That is not the same as singing their praises. You've made quite a display here. …
