I was reading a favorite feminist author and some choice quotes came up:

"Even now, with a continued disparity in earning potential, women will often manage male emotions so that a woman can be assured of material support by providing emotional value to her partner. Often, this goes beyond the conscious recognition of the men who receive it."

"[...]starting to get noticed in feminist circles; the concept of unpaid emotional labor that women are expected to supply."

And I was reminded of Esther Vilar's The Manipulated Man. Castrating a man from birth, emotionally, is a great way to create a slave; a work horse who will do anything for love. A man who cannot love himself, nor manage his other emotions, is easily manipulable.

Society tends to deny boys (and men) the latitude of emotional expression.

Boys do not cry. Boys simply don't cry. Boys don't cry. Repeat.

Women are more emotionally intelligent. Girls are more in touch with their feelings. Girls are better at expressing themselves. Repeat.

To harness the dynamo of male creativity we've made him reliant on female/societal approval, and given him his life-script. The noble lie keeps men working difficult jobs which maintain and grow civilization. The engine of male desire forms the architecture of society.

Carl Jung would say, "sentimentality is the superstructure of brutality."

We have sentimentalized women so that we could brutalize men. The sentimentality of men toward women is the blue pill in its essence.

Love blinds men to their self-sacrifice.

A necessary tool for MGTOW is learning how to deal with your emotions; to harness your emotional energy. To reject the "unpaid emotional labor of women" means that a man must manage his own emotions from then on.

However... is it even possible, after a lifetime of bondage, to develop freedom with emotions? Perhaps there are emotions men might not even give themselves the liberty of feeling.

"Free spirits", as Nietzsche would say, I wish you luck.
