One of the biggest complaints a screeching Feminist will levy is the lack of respect women receive in the male sphere. That she's taken less seriously and her opinions carry less weight. Like everything women will say, this must be dissected and translated for it to mean anything. A woman's idea of respect in this regard is thinking that anything she says should be taken seriously; that her opinions stated should not be held up to any scrutiny at all- that she is entitled to respect without going through any of the trials and tribulations associated with earning it... which is everything to do with the traditional male journey toward the mastery of Masculinity.

Somewhat ironically, the idea that this same woman would not, or does not, universally respect all men equally isn't part of her thoughtless equation. In fact, no one respects all men equally- respect in the male sphere is always earned. Just ask the obese guy in the skin-tight Ultimate Warrior t-shirt if he's universally respected and, undoubtedly, he'd give you the very sad and grim reply that no one respects him at all.

Respect for a woman's thoughts and opinions are at an all time high in the Western World. Women can say as they wish without challenge, no matter how misguided the thought is, spout their opinions endlessly even if they are baseless and destructive, and make limitless demands of the world around them even if these demands are counter intuitive to the productive survival of our Civilization. If that isn't universal respect, to exist as the queens of the Western World, I'm not sure what would qualify to fit the term. But, we know that for women to be women, there is no marker of satisfaction- the end point of the supposed "equality" that women seek to reach will never be met; there will never be Feminists celebrating in the streets, with noisemakers and party hats- that isn't the point.

Women will only make further demands until there is nothing left.

But the irony lies in that respect isn't necessary for a woman. While she may enjoy the faux-victories she'll receive in the male sphere, like how a kid likes it when Dad lets them win at Candyland, there are absolutely no consequences for her to not bother at all. In this regard, the respect Feminists screech over is a lot like candy- it tastes good, and maybe it's nice to indulge, but it's hardly necessary for survival.

Remember, eggs are valuable and sperm is worthless. Women are the inherently valuable protected class- "women and children first"- while men are the disposable warriors. And, fucking hell, you'd better hope you're considered a warrior, because ain't no one crying when the fat guy in the wrestling t-shirt finally drops dead. And that is your reality as a man- you either earn respect, or you're an invisible, walking sack of guts, just rotting on the bone.

If respect is like candy for a woman, think of respect as protein for a man- it is necessary for your survival. This is an idea that all men inherently understand, even if they don't have the vocabulary or acumen to verbally express it. The worthless men- the fat, pro-wrestling t-shirt wearing type (and god fucking help me if they're walking around with a mask or knock-off title belt, but I digress), knows he isn't respected but he's given up; he doesn't have the grit or fortitude to turn things around for himself. He is all he can be, and he's chosen to live a life of voyeurism and commercial comforts.

For a man who hasn't entirely given-in to a life of pizza and pornography, he too will understand the necessity of respect; however, his reaction to this will vary based on his own grit and fortitude. These men- and I believe these men are still in the majority- will understand that masculinity is the foundation for respect- from both men and women alike- however, actions from here will vary.

The foundation of Masculinity is power; both in a man's ability to acquire power and in his comfort in holding power. If you're reading this now, you'll understand that the best means of becoming authentically masculine is to take a direct, bullshit free approach. Hone your skill in acquiring power, and develop a comfort in holding power (personally, I find the latter half more challenging). There is no short cut, or easy means to go about doing this. Like lifting or learning a martial art, the only way to do it is to do it.

There are many components to power. Strength and fitness provide an immediate visual display of hard-work and self-discipline. A man's courage is his willingness to act despite adverse conditions. Social needlessness, both with men and women, will display self-confidence and self-comfort. Maintaining frame has a lot to do with comfort in a leadership position, acting as an authority, and confidence in one's own decisions. Mastery over a subject matter or discipline; acting in a way that is honorable- these are all components of Masculinity, but what they have in common is the foundation of power, and power always garners respect.

The Nice Guy is not able to compete in the power game, yet he's acutely aware that respect is necessary fora successful man and that Masculinity is what garners respect. So, the Nice Guy, in an attempt to compete, tries to win by disqualification. The Nice Guy attempts to redefine Masculinity as a relinquishment of power- this is what he would call "real Masculinity," or what "real men" do. Women are more than happy to push this meme, as only beta-men are going this route to begin with, and this relinquishment of power ultimately becomes a transfer of power to women.

The idea of the nu-male, Masculinity as powerlessness, became highly popular with the baby-boomers of the sixties and seventies, and fifty years later we have women who are more empowered than ever, shouting non-sense while crying over their perceived lack of respect.

To put the Nice Guy in perspective, I have a Facebook friend who is very anti-gun- making all the requisite jokes about insecure white rednecks with small dicks- but when a mutual female friend posted a picture from a gun range with a shot-up target, he politely complimented on her mad skillz. Translation: "I'm a good man for thinking that men shouldn't have guns, but women should." An attempt to garner respect through a total relinquishment of power.

The White Knight will take a different approach to the road to respect through the power game. Like the Nice Guy, the White Knight will understand that Masculinity is what will get respect but unlike his soft, squishy competition, the White Knight will not seek to redefine Masculinity to suit himself. After all, the White Knight thinks of himself as tough and rugged, so the White Knight will attempt to garner respect through an identity as the necessary protector of all women.

In this regard, the White Knight serves as a perversion of Masculinity. Like the Nice Guy, the White Knight will buy into the meme of equality hard ("equality," of course, as female supremacy), but he'll understand that this is not satisfying enough of an identity to successfully compete with other men, so he will add the component of his necessary protection over women against the less honorable men of the world. In other words, the White Knight understands that if women are entirely equal, men will get lost in the shuffle and instead of becoming the truly authentic, Uber-Man in order to compete, the White Knight will instead attempt to forge a respectable identity through the necessity of his role in protection.

Of course, this is ultimately meaningless when Susie Q is out sucking off all the less honorable men of the world anyway.

Summary

  • Respect is not necessary for a woman to be successful but it's necessary for a man.
  • The foundation of respect is masculinity and the foundation of masculinity is power.
  • The only way to garner true respect through power and masculinity is by traditional means.
  • All men understand the necessity of respect but most go about acquiring it differently, and are ultimately unsuccessful.
