For the few real MRAs here- Read Delusion Damage's six-part "hidden truths" series, it's mind-blowing

Good article but I am not sure I buy it all. I have read this article before and even come to the same conclusions myself several times before...especially back in HS.

For one, I don't think all desires lead to suffering. I have studied buddhism several different times in my life and I agree with most of it and the authors conclusions and use of it....but....can you have a desire that doesn't lead to suffering. Let's say the desire for more information and knowledge. Will this eventually lead to suffering? Possibly but often times knowledge increases happiness, either through specialization that frees up time or through broadening your understanding of the world around you.

Second, as far as women working goes and feminism....I actually think this is kinda a good thing for men. We talk about giving women jobs and how that reduces wages and takes away jobs from men but I think there is a definite upside. It allows us men to cull the undesirable women from the herd. You can fuck the career girls and get them to pay for stuff if you know game and then when you want a wife you can find a more traditional woman....I think feminists have even caught onto to this and that is one reason they shame any woman that doesn't follow their lead into submission, they talk endlessly about the sisterhood and create a girls club in business and police womens dating partners but even more importantly they passed laws like IMBRA to keep men from having the relationship options.

Third, I am not sure I agree with this resource-based economy idea. It sounds too much like communism or creating a communitariate. I keep seeing feminists and idiots talking about patriarchy and evil capitalism and how it came about through agriculture and if we just went back to living tribal life styles then all would be good but these people tend to be kinda dumb. Trade has always existed and isn't inherently evil. Hell, trade and the silk roads of Africa was one of the main ways that Islam spread....that and the fact that it has a ethical/moral business model built into it under sharia law.

IDK, this economic plan is interesting to say the least but I think it fails in some areas like specialization. Now maybe if it was coupled with a knowledge-based economy, that would be interesting but it still suffers from one giant elephant in the room. The entire concept infringes on individual rights and freedoms and liberties. When individuals are free to pursue their interests and specialize then they create and that accelerates civilization more than anything before has.

IDK...interesting and good article regardless.

So now you are using "No True Scotsman" to go along with your Straw Man?

Niiiiiice.
