Moderators sit in a very precarious position. You and a number of others want a more hands-off approach. Fine, I get that. It would be much easier for us to implement that. But we get vastly more feedback from other users wanting a more hands-on approach. People want significantly more interference from the moderators in removing things that they don't like, and they make up much more of the viewership than you guys do. Are you sure about that? There are a lot of people just lurking. I am one of…

Everything he says about his accomplishments and skills is a lie That's such a broad accusation that I only expect from trolls. It is so broad it clearly has to be false. Links please. catb.org/esr does not count, and you know that. He still presents himself as a core part of open source software and a highly skilled software developer. He has never been either.

That observation seems damn right! The sad thing is that one's own gynocentrism works against one when growing up. It is easy to start thinking: 'Many guys seem to be assholes and women seem to be nice.' It takes quite a while to see the darker side of some women, especially as a women's bad actions are invisible due to the easiness that they can hide it behind the 'acted upon' stereotype. But, that said, I think feminists are dangerous enough to be no laughing matter...

/r/MensRights29/05/15 12:22 PM

Fully agreed. I think what we see here in the discussions and elsewhere in 'the MRM part of the Manosphere', is that the frustration about access to sex that impairs a lot of males also in the MRM is resulting in these weird schisms (the more cynical would say: it is used for divide and conquer). The MRM has its sights at a lot of down-to-earth issues that need to be solved and a success in that (however unlikely it unfortunately is) would IMO also lead to a lot saner relations between the sexes…

Sure, MGTOW is just one lifestyle among many to choose from. But I don't think it is necessarily a temporary coping mechanism. It can also be a coping mechanism, if one indeeds really wants gf/family/kids. In another light, I think the modern world misses the input from people who are staying out of relationships. The MGTOW perspective can potentially help a lot of guys stay sane, without resorting to the brutality seemingly involved in TRP. The aforementioned coping mechanism. There is IMO an u…

Nonsense? I think we're talking past each other, it feels like you didn't get my point of hierarchy being a word with apparently multiple meanings: Look at the road system. It has footpaths, residential roads, roads, highways. Look at the internet. Look at large governments. All structures built by humans, and all having a hierarchy. But it is ridiculous to say that the highway oppresses the footpath. It is equally ridiculous to think that you can and should build a road system just out of highw…

That would be hierarchies more as an organizational principle, wouldn't it? That said, think about it: We order our world in hierarchies, even if it is not about people. Think about all the 'stacks of knowledge' that we form. Essentially, hierarchies.

I fail to see what this has to do with men's rights though, which is what it boils down to. I was just pointing it out because it seemed to me /u/_pluto_ was too strongly suggesting it is not at all the case - but I might have read him wrong. Somewhat offtopic wrt. Men's Rights directly, but part of the discussion in a wider sense.
/r/MensRights28/05/15 10:03 AM

It is my impression, though, that there is a focus on just one single hierarchy (sexual dominance) and this focus is somewhat of a self-fulfilling prophecy in current, western, human societies ('evo psych tells you you must be interested in the sex game, and that will tell you whether you are a loser or not'). I am not saying it doesn't exist. I am just saying that maybe there is a 'conditioned reinforcement due to reductionism', so to speak? Other than that, I'd like to add that hierarchies are…

But I do want to address, that access to sex question is probably a good part of the schism. Ultimately, I believe whether people want to accept it or not, there have always been evolutionary winners and losers. Absolutely true. But 'evolutionary loser' != 'frustrated chump'. At least not necessarily. I mean celibate monks had/have quite the authority in some societies - and many live long and content, if not happy lives. I think part of the problem is that there is just this tendency of a lot o…

Red Pillers aren't (generally speaking) hurting beta men That might be true, I don't really follow the TRP closely. When I looked, I have seen a lot of beta-shaming on TRP, though. beta men are hurting themselves. Yes, but I think it is just half the story. The fucked up laws in society do not all stem from beta men trying to hurt themselves.
/r/MensRights27/05/15 10:46 PM
2

TRP appears to be about 'free' access to sex - with the always lingering feeling of many that they advocate throwing other men, 'betas' under the bus - whereas MRAs are for male rights, which not necessarily even overlaps with TRP? Maybe the whole schism appears because the 'access to sex' question is so ideologically charged with different fractions having vastly different opinions on that?
/r/MensRights27/05/15 10:42 PM
1

Yeah, I just wrote this in the other comment... there is more to the MRM than 'free' access to sex and maybe that's the point that the attraction issue is not solvable in a 'just' sense, but all other issues affecting males very much are? And regarding access to sex, making prostitution safe and legal is probably a good thing to do, then.
/r/MensRights27/05/15 10:32 PM

If there would be honesty and compassion for males, and an understanding in society that only 20% of males are going to have unpaid sex ever anyways, that would IMO help a lot already. Furthermore, this is interesting insofar as access to sex isn't even the only point that the MRM is trying to address, and so concentrating on that issue alone is derailing the MRM a bit. Unfair taxation, divorce rights and restoration of assumed innocence in criminal cases are IMO very important. And I think that…
/r/MensRights27/05/15 10:28 PM

Maybe I worded it wrong. What I meant is that if /u/ExpendableOne is wrong in his alpha/beta assumption, it must mean that TRP-like behavior is basically not stepping on the betas in society. That would mean that so many males already took themselves out of the dating pool (either unknowingly and involuntarily or as MGTOW), that RP behavior will not step on any betas because the M/F supply/demand ratio is already inverted, so all a 'Redpiller' does is making himself and a female happy - who othe…
/r/MensRights27/05/15 10:14 PM

But if females are only interested in 20% of the males, this will just create a runaway condition in a zero sum game, similar to MAD, with all men highly involved in PUAing? This appears like a description how we got to modern, fucked up society... just a different fucked-up-ness...
/r/MensRights27/05/15 09:58 PM
2

So in other words, are you saying that there is basically a 'societal void', to be filled by PUA-trained males, because the rest of the males became so unattractive that there is a lot of females who are left alone?
/r/MensRights27/05/15 09:40 PM
1

So... wouldn't it be better then, to avoid the destructive tendencies, to basically advocate MGTOW for those 80% of males who are betas? Maybe the answer is going to be a very personal choice between TRP and MGTOW?
/r/MensRights27/05/15 09:33 PM
3

That's why I personally think MGTOW is a much better approach. MGTOW works in almost any society, it is very 'compatible'. And you can see that a lot of MGTOWs are quite content in their lives.

This occurs despite the fact that half of the people in the band are females. In fact females play a major role in ensuring egalitarianism. They understand that if an alpha emerges he will hoard resources and generally make everyone's lives miserable. Would-be alpha males are subjected to ridicule; if that doesn't curb the behaviour they are censured; if the problem persists they are banished; in extreme cases the alpha will be killed. Yet you see the fight-for-hierarchy behavior in any discothe…

I think this drills down to a problem with the egalitarian mindset and the known biological and social expectations for men and women - Actor and acted upon. Feminism puts whatever behavior there is into the spotlight and says 'this is a problem'. And then the egalitarian answer is: Ok, I see this could be a problem and lets make sure all human interactions are 100% contractual, but lets please make sure that it applies to boys and girls. Effect: In the best case, female-centric language is chan…

Meh. Paying for contraception is a net gain for society. I can see that line of reasoning, but I think the MRM should then make sure that the argument for universal 'free' birth control is coming from the right angle, that is 'population control', instead of 'necessary freebies for women because equality'.

Beautifully said. The 'good monk MGTOW' path was and is not at all an emotionally easy one to take, though. Especially as feminism has told us for decades: Be nice and you'll be fine. And now we're nice but everything's fucked up. In a way, I think feminism laid bare a lot of reasons why tradition and religions arranged society around monogamy and marriage and made all these strict rules.

Marital rape is interesting because it depends very much on what kind of contract you agree on with regards to sexual availability, and how much you can agree to. If part of marriage as a contract is consent to access of each other's bodies, then it is arguably not unlike some people do in S/M relationships. Marital rape can only be acting outside the consent you implied by signing the marriage contract. I bet it is very interesting what feminists call 'marital rape' and what and how much mutual…

There was an article on AVFM discussing whether feminism is brainwashing. Part of that talk was talking about how it 'puts him [the male] in touch with the evil within himself'. Considering that companionship with a female is a pretty strong urge in most males, I could imagine a kind of (at least social) co-evolution of the male mind towards the more psychopathic traits. The 'evil in oneself'. But I think this collides with the urge of most males to have an orderly, peaceful society and will cau…

They are discussing a 'it is rape whenever the women feels like it afterwards'-law in Germany right now. A part of me actually wants them to succeed with pushing that law through, just so that everyone can eventually see the inherent insanity in all the feminist BS. However, that's just part of me. First of all, I know that many still won't see reality.

There is already a difference, though: Feminists don't like false accusations because it a) undermines their propaganda and b) because it will 'make the real victims look like liars'.

In Germany, there is a saying going around recently: 'People seem to be oversexed and underfucked'. If modern feminism is an indicator of this change, more promiscuous seems to mean more sex for a few males, no sex for the rest of the males. Lots of action for young females, not too much for older ones. But all one hears about is the average number of partners people have - obviously almost the same for both genders. Much more interesting would be histograms of number of sex partners by gender. …

This probably also makes the MRM a lot weaker compared to a full-blown religion like feminism. Given this and that feminism finally is somewhat in the defensive position now, the problems addressed by the MRM must have grown huge. Well, yes, we all know this... but I think it is impressive that the MRM stands its ground even though there is this strong gynocentrism in gender discussions and that feminism is very successful in doing divide-and-conquer.

What do you think about this: In many societies, priests, monks or other celibate people have a large influence on culture. I can imagine that a male who is going to stay celibate anyway will more easily extend his protection instinct to both males and females - as he took himself out of competition.

Good question. Maybe it might? In any case, IMO for now it would be great if people who call for male disposability are at least encouraged to be honest and argue for male disposability in certain circumstances outright instead of hiding it in feminism.

Interesting. I rather have the opposite impression: Male disposability is in our biology to some extent. Successful societies moderate it to some extent (of course, they do lots of other things to be successful) or exploit it in certain circumstances (e.g. military) to be successful. Feminism says all the time 'we care about the menz, too' and just exploits our biological dynamic to protect and trust(!) women above everything else, while redirecting those impulses which would also reduce male di…

Society runs on male disposability. Any society which doesn't will be conquered by one which does. We know, because history has taught us this over and over again. The only societies without male disposability which have survived are those who are isolated from conflict with other societies. How does the modern development of nukes and MAD fit into this picture?

... and you have not even been falsely accused yourself. And then there are, I believe, lots of people who are anxious to even approach women in any way now ('what could I do wrong/what could go wrong?') Probably, this is to be expected somewhat for many ... and most grow out of it - but I also think the intensity of this (due to feminism attacking basically any form of how a male could reasonably approach a woman) alone is causing a lot of males alot of additional grief.

IMO reasonable and grounded would be a society where rape is considered a serious crime, among other serious, sometimes even more serious crimes. No reason to put rape on a pedestal. It is serious, it needs to be punished, just like armed robbery, for example. But stop using sex for society-wide social engineering. People care more about a singular rape than massive war crimes, for example. That is fucked up.

The problem is that all this action to address the fact that some rapists are probably escaping justice only made it worse for those who follow the law.

If you think about it, the lack and destruction of trust that you get from your described dynamics should leak over from this very core thing (relationship between the sexes) to other areas of life as well.

Well, the original point of contention was that there is more and more of sex going on. I think the STD rate data doesn't support the idea that sex is abundant and everywhere.

Ha! I think that is a matter of perspective. Try to look at it this way: Feminism drove a massive wedge between the sexes.

This led to a long, drawn out fight where my girlfriend threatened to leave me (and thus, have me kicked out of the place we live, with her mom and brother) if I supported the MRM. Wow. Not saying the MRM is in itself a petty issue, but you supporting the movement in your relationship should be.

Well, if it ever happens that feminism will be dismantled, a very big part of the reason for that will be your outspokeness on youtube and elsewhere. But I guess you know that :D

There is rarely if ever an "answer" because the world is in flux and is not static. I tended to think that, too, that we have to adapt or systems of thought with changes in societal order and changes in available technology. However, I also have the impression 'that what people want from civilisation' and how society can be structured to achieve it is to quite an extent constant. We seem to get bored with civilisation and then tend to destroy it, though...

My already high respect for Norway as a country actually rose a lot after they shut down some gender institutes after this TV show. Because it appeared to me that they are getting a lot more aware of the failings of feminism. Now I am curious whether that was just a short fluke. Any Norwegian here to comment on how the state of affairs is, in general?

I'd argue for a bit more of sexual virtue on somewhat (I think) different grounds: I think many, MANY people are kinky. This I gather from talking to introspection, friends and peers in the more 'honest discussions', to the sales figures of kinky porn/literature. However. We now have a BDSM scene/subculture that openly displays their sexuality everywhere, in an almost exhibitionistic way. Together with what appears to be a very self-righteous attitude, as in 'we figured out how humans work'. And…

I'd say men and women are both are animals and we need to keep our impulses in check - sexual or otherwise. And most of us can, we're rational/reasonable animals after all... But feminism seems to make it so that women do not seem to have to keep their impulses - sexual or otherwise - in check at all. With the known consequences.

I never really considered myself a feminist, I always just found many of the ideas sound and gave them the benefit of the doubt. But after having very personal experience how corrupted that whole ideology is - I discovered the MRM. And I still have to admit feminism affected me, strongly. The more I think about it, the more I get this outside view of it. A lot of little resets/'red pills'. Wow. And the way I see it now is that if it - as a toxic ideology and pseudo-religion - doesn't die very so…

There’s no shame in it. In fact, there are valid and (IMO) morally neutral evolutionary reasons why we feel this way. As far as I’m concerned, the primary moral turpitude at play is not that we care more about women and girls, but that we are so loath to admit it that we will make up excuses and rationalizations so that our internal narrative conforms with the idea that we are at best egalitarian and at worst misogynists. I tend to think, more and more, that admitting this fact is going to be ve…

"All transsexuals rape women's bodies by reducing the real female form to an artifact, appropriating this body for themselves ....

The sad thing in all this BS is that there is a difference between a thoughtful, democratic leader and an oppressor. I more and more worry that getting rid of all leaders gives us the oppressor, eventually. The real, visible one. Because now, we have this also very untenable situation of inverse oppression through oppression olympics. I fear that people will be relieved when they see a real oppressor in power, finally, instead of feminism.

Honestly, I am more worried about being alone in the elevator or in a car or on the street at night with women or kids, rather than being afraid of the direct, random street violence (which I also feel). In case of the latter, you might get beaten up, it might suck, but most of the time it is someone trying to rob you, you'll be scared, you'll suffer. But at least, you can then usually continue with your life and you have a chance of pressing charges etc. In case you get wrong accusation thrown …

I think saying that does invoke the gender specific stereotype, though. Not necessarily really bad, stereotypes exist because there is usually a bit of truth to them. I think the problem starts when one deduces the way to interact with a person from the stereotype, rather than the other way around.

Interesting that you say 'umbrella'. I feel how that generic word is used rather like a language tar pit than an umbrella. "I am not that kind of feminist" is a rather common saying in the movement. It is a very clever way to establish a religion. The word is completely meaningless, but is intended to evoke good feels. Like love. Like socialism. Etc. Very diffuse, but somehow positive. Basically, any criticism can be deflected by always changing the shape of the 'right' feminism, just like an am…

However, in the next sentence, it is directly said 'MRAs teach'. That sounds to me rather like the journalist wanted to create some variation when describing what 'the MRA wants' than carefully crafted wording. Seen in a more sinister light, one could argue that it creates some kind of 'belief ramp', where the first sentence is, as you say, a tautology, but followed by a direct accusation which then appears as legitimate. Long time since I read/learned about rhetorical methods, but there must be…

I think the current state in the west is just weird. On one hand, supposedly everything is very free, very open, very liberal. One the other hand, we have a fascination with rape culture. And I had multiple discussions with acquaintances, and had some, mostly females, tell me that they believe it is wrong and worrysome to just have certain sexual fantasies. And then, culture and laws are against exhibitionism, but OTOH, certain people/subcultures just cannot shut up about their sexuality. Which …

It appears to me that 'murder of a man' < 'rape of a woman' in the popular opinion and seemingly also the courts of western societies, though. Where do you, as a woman, think would the line be for: 'violent crime A happens to man' vs. 'violent crime B happens to women' for them be about equal in severity, not as seen by the law, but rather by popular opinion?

I am not saying this yet - but I do wonder whether what you describe as 'thick skin' might be a 'man up' in disguise? Feminism seems to drive men into the unbearable corner of being like Nietzsche's Uebermensch.

Yet, again and again and again and again we try to adhere to these high standards when fighting feminism. It's the description of how 'the male should be'. I think that's also…

I think what you say would be fine if society had a balance where the odd misogynistic joke would be seen more as just 'meh, don't say that!', too. But that isn't the case. There is a strong taboo on misogynistic jokes and none on misandric ones. And that imbalance is a clear sign for a much bigger imbalance permeating the whole of society.

Well, not only that: We are not simply tools in society to just 'fix the damn energy problem' so that hateful feminists can continue running their man-hate programs on then-fusion-powered youtube. We are human beings, we want to play, relax, eat good food, have sex, go on holidays, in short: enjoy our lives, too.

With your definition, nothing is carbon neutral. The wind turbine's steel was made in a coal-fired iron smelter. I guess that's why you say it will eventually pay off its debt. Coal and gas never pay off their Carbon debts. The concept of EROEI is a therefore probably a good idea. In that sense, nuclear fission is the only available high energy density option that is Carbon neutral.

Hey, very good article!

On a more general note and I think it also applies to the panel discussion: Movements are looking for 'solutions' to problems. People want to 'solve', 'eradicate', 'abolish', 'make free from'.

Ok. Take a fuzzy concept like 'men are privileged' and 'equality is the goal'. Taking those two (and or maybe others), you get something like feminism. A lot of (in principle) logical reasoning on top of ill-defined concepts. In this case, neither 'being privileged', nor 'equality' are well defined. 'Being privileged' might have meant getting more money. Or living longer. Even if a word was accurate at some point, by being commonly understood as something, such as 'being privileged' == 'being ec…

Yeah, and I think we don't really disagree here. I was talking about this step from a fuzzily defined concept to logic. That step seems to always get something wrong about the core emotions driving the definition of the concept.

The steps to this would be sentences of the form 'Because, ...', logical propositions on ill-defined everyday …

I like to note, though, that all concepts and words used for the concepts in human interaction are fuzzy, and logic only goes so far. We will always have gaps when defining a concept, word etc. And I think a big problem as well as something we humans tend to do all the time, is to create these systems of thought (such as feminism). They appear to be seemingly rational for quite a while - which is also apparant in the long and still very strong support this ideology apparently has. (Granted, femi…
