I always assume that many male feminists are just trying to get their dick wet.

[–]lasciate 23 points24 points25 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

They are. They bought into the idea that you can logic a woman into bed if you just prove you're a "good guy". Usually they either wake up to reality and become RedPillers/PUAs to try an evidence-based approach or they become somebody's walking wallet if they attain any sort of financial success.

[–]UnityNow 11 points12 points13 points 11 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Many male feminists truly believe what they spout because they were brainwashed since birth to believe it. Feminism is a self-reinforcing belief system that allows few if any opportunities for a mind trapped within it to escape.

Realize that many people now, both male and female, are raised only by their mother, with little to no contact with their father, thanks to feminists. They are taught in school by many women and very few men, thanks to feminists. Many of those female teachers are feminists. I know some of mine were, and they were allowed to openly teach feminism to children.

All of mainstream society is saturated with feminist ideas and beliefs, while contrary ideas are attacked viciously. Humans have a strong herd instinct, and this is encouraged by those who want others to "stay in line," including most people who hold unfair advantages, including most feminists. It's very difficult for most people to go against the popular mainstream beliefs they see everywhere around them, especially if they were born into it and taught it at every point in their lives.

We must remember this every time we're working to counter feminist beliefs. We're working to undue a lifetime of lies that were sewn into every aspect of that person's belief system.

Your second paragraph is the main reason why I got interested in the men's rights movement. I'm a father, with two very young boys and it is in my best interests to ensure they don't get fucked over, and when they are old enough can also advocate for themselves. I've always felt as though I am an anachronism at times, with my view on the virtues of masculinity and how I'm very proud of the traditional male values that I hold, that society at large thinks are nefarious. I plan on instilling these virtues into my children whilst also teaching them how to navigate today's social mind-field.

Male feminism is a means to gain the approval of women without having to earn the respect of other men.

[–]ICantReadThis 2 points3 points4 points 11 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Keep in mind, most of 'em are folks who were lured in with, "it's about equality, honest". The 15% female identification rate is not something most know about, let alone all the other funny stats we did see.

[–]disposable-name -1 points0 points1 point 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Ah, yes, the ol' "FEMINISM MEANS EQUALITY!!!" line.

Funny, for a sect who craps on about the "harm" of "gendered language" (which apparently also includes arbitrarily defining neutral terms as "gendered" because they don't like 'em - but I digress), they're awfully quick to apply the "correct" gender to what is emphatically, obviously, and by very definition a neutral term.

[–]Techynot 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Interesting. Are you implying that before feminism men had to earn respect from other men before they could get the women?

[–]girlwriteswhat 3 points4 points5 points 11 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

The other mode in which the effect of women’s opinion has been conspicuous is by giving a powerful stimulus to those qualities in men which, not being themselves trained in, it was necessary for them that they should find in their protectors. Courage, and the military virtues generally, have at all times been greatly indebted to the desire which men felt of being admired by women: and the stimulus reaches far beyond this one class of eminent qualities, since, by a very natural effect of their position, the best passport to the admiration and favour of women has always been to be thought highly of by men.

[–]Impacatus 8 points9 points10 points 11 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

The idea that men are only motivated by sex is a harmful stereotype and the motivation for many examples of discrimination against men. The last thing we want to do is encourage it.

Male feminists are still men. We can criticize their opinions and behaviors without resorting to reciprocal sexism.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

My statement was tongue in cheek, jest, an attempt at humour.

[–]bluescape 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

That's an over simplification. I think a lot genuinely believe what they say, since they've had it hammered into them since they were little. Couple that with our natural tendency for both genders to favor women and disfavor men, and it's easy to get lots of guys that aren't trying to necessarily fuck anyone and just genuinely are trying to be decent human beings. Think of feminism as a religion (because it basically acts and defends itself like it is).

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Yea it was a tongue in cheek statement, intended in jest, not to be taking too seriously.

I'm not sure where to put this musing, but I need to place it, so here it goes:

Yesterday I was out exercising, and while doing so I came to this realization-- that in elementary school, all but one of the few male teachers I had was villified. They were portrayed as brutish, aggressive, angry, potentially violent.

I never thought about that, really, but throughout my childhood this led me to always want to be around women.

While running I put 2+2 together. Women never realize that's all bullshit, they never grow into that man and realize that just by virtue of living to adult age you become those men portrayed.

Suddenly, living in Seattle, I understood this culture and why the women hate men. Because they don't understand reality and it's what they've been told. It's why if you aren't a submissive man or six point five feet tall and in a suit, you are portrayed as an idiot muscle-head. There are just so many other things to think about and do that why would they ever question that? It was told to them by the same people who taught them arithmetic and spelling.

[–]Wargame4life 15 points16 points17 points 11 years ago (11 children) | Copy Link

I understand what you are saying and to some degree its true, but a woman has to be spectacularly simple or self delusional to not recognise that men as a creative or "positive force" is unquestionable.

All of societies major humanitarian reforms are the fruits of men and all of its Major industrial technological leaps and infrastructure the sole fruit of men.

there is a quote by someone (i forget who) that claims "if women ruled the world we would still be living in grass huts"

I think some women simplistically and childishly tend to believe men wage war for "something to do" rather than understand that war is politics by other means.

i.e the same character/personality that wages war against a regime or system that it seems as oppressive and tyrannical is the same that wages war against cancer or against the system and makes something better/new

pioneers of science have waged a war on knowledge and our current understanding, and pushed themselves to exceed against the odds.

War much like sport is the excessive occupation with being and doing better, war exists only as a means to an end of better.

i.e people do not engage in war for the sake of war, war is the tool used to enact change.

[–]lasciate 13 points14 points15 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

No she just has to attribute to society the good things men do. And attribute to men all the bad things society does. Women are taught that they're interchangeable with and equal to men, but also nicer, kinder, smarter, more patient, etc. They're also taught that they are blocked from leveraging their totally identical abilities and motivations by men (presumably through Professor X-style psychic manipulation or invisible force fields that induce nausea any time a woman tries to enter a STEM class).

It's not much of a leap to simply take credit for everything good done in the name of society and shrug off all the blame. In fact, it's necessary to maintain their worldview.

[–]thedarkerside 3 points4 points5 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Only because men didn't let women actually do anything. If men wouldn't be such oppressive Shitlords, womynhood would have gotten us unlimited energy by now.

No seriously, that's how they construe it, we didn't get as far as we did because of men, but despite men.

[–]tallwheel 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Nope. Feminism has a convenient explanation for this too: Women were kept from being able to make those contributions. Women would have contributed just as much to innovation and construction of our modern world as men if men had just allowed them to.

So, feminism, again, tells us that rather than appreciating men for their contributions, we should resent them for not allowing women to help.

[–]Capitalsman 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

Women were kept from being able to make those contributions.

It's hard to say that though when there are always interesting stories about women that invented things before 1900. And woman invented kevlar after all, and (from what I remember) the first woman to expose her breasts in a movie wrote an equation during/just after ww2 that makes cellphones possible.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

War is politics by other means ...

I've heard that before I think it's Roman, but I'm not sure. I've always viewed war as an utter breakdown of rational communication, and therefore politics by other means. Do you have a source for that aphorism?

[–]kaolbrec 5 points6 points7 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

It's Prussian, attributed to Carl von Clausewitz.

"War is simply the continuation of political intercourse with the addition of other means. We deliberately use the phrase "with the addition of other means" because we also want to make it clear that war in itself does not suspend political intercourse or change it into something entirely different. In essentials that intercourse continues, irrespective of the means it employs. The main lines along which military events progress, and to which they are restricted, are political lines that continue throughout the war into the subsequent peace."

I don't disagree with you. But since you think it's totally ridiculous... can you give an example of a major modern societal reform, that should be accredited to a woman; or a major industrial technological leap?

Thanks!

Not exactly answering your questions but Rosa Parks and Marie Curie came to mind on reading your questions. Ms. Parks didn't do everything herself, but she took the first big risk.

[–]Capitalsman 2 points3 points4 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I always found myself drawn to every male teacher I had, especially math and science teachers, because they didn't talk down to you like a child but just talked like you were another adult (minus certain topics and swears) and were just more casual/fun. But I think it was also because my father has a job were he isn't making money unless he is in another state/country fixing huge machines, so I was absorbing other father figures to fill the void while he was away weeks at a time. Which is why I wish there were more male teachers.

You mentioned seattle, was that just in passing or is the culture particularly bad there?

[–][deleted] 16 points17 points18 points 11 years ago (10 children) | Copy Link

Excellent article. If men, decades ago after anti-discrimination legislation was signed into law in the US and UK, paid no mind the shrill complaints of women (stare rape, male gaze, manspreading, false 1-in-5 statistics, etc) then we wouldn't have a culture today that vilifies what for thousands of years was considered very normal behavior among men.

Yes, because the suggestion that the pendulum has gone too far into the other direction means, of course, that we'll have to go all the way back the other way.

The only way that will happen is if there is no moderation, because eventually things will break and then it'll be a free for all.

Yes, because the suggestion that the pendulum has gone too far into the other direction means, of course, that we'll have to go all the way back the other way.

Of course not, but we should be happy to challenge and rebut the feminist narrative about gender and its changing role in society over the past several decades.

Such a response to the attitudes expressed by this "troll" is useful in advancing the dialogue; saying "lol gtfo troll" isn't (though there are certainly situations where that may be warranted, as well).

[–]thedarkerside 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

See the thing is, I don't have a problem with individuals "trolling" or making emotional arguments. It irks me tremendously how any kind of emotion is seen as absolutely negative and horrible by the other side, you know, the side that claims men need to be more emotional?

Anyway, not disagreeing, but I personally don't see anything wrong with ranting.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Well since his response had almost nothing to do with my original comment then I didn't feel that he merited a dignified response.

Plus, I looked at his other comments in other threads and he comes across like a legit troll. Hence my reply.

Well, troll response or not, the sentiment they expressed is a common criticism levied against the MRM.

Rebutting it is a good thought exercise, and may help to sway readers on the fence who share similar concerns and either a.) don't particularly care who is expressing them or b.) aren't involved enough in the dialogue to spot a troll.

Well, that was a welter of stupid that any feminist would be proud of. Clarkson being portrayed as some sort of "real man" is ludicrous.

Anyone who extols the virtues of a degree of stoicism, a healthy disregard for the pieties of the politically correct and a reluctance to take shit lying down is now seen as part of the oppressive, phallocentric problem who is genetically predetermined to be a violent potential rapist.

Absolutely fine to extoll the virtues of stoicism. Just don't do it by gender.

Almost everything in the article can be replied to like that frankly.

[+]anonlymouse -10 points-9 points-8 points 11 years ago (23 children) | Copy Link

Why not do it by gender? They're positive male qualities.

[–]azazelcrowley 23 points24 points25 points 11 years ago (16 children) | Copy Link

They are positive qualities associated with males, and which many males may or may not be naturally inclined toward. It isn't present in all males, nor are females incapable of demonstrating them.

All you're doing is real manist bullshit. Suppose a man isn't stoic. Is he not a man?

[–]anonlymouse 7 points8 points9 points 11 years ago (11 children) | Copy Link

He's going to have a much harder time in life if he isn't. Whether he's a real man or not is beside the point.

And a woman wouldn't? Why?

[–]anonlymouse 12 points13 points14 points 11 years ago (9 children) | Copy Link

Correct, she wouldn't. Women are coddled, they don't need to be stoic.

[–]azazelcrowley 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (8 children) | Copy Link

So... stop coddling women? Or coddle unstoic men?

[–]anonlymouse -5 points-4 points-3 points 11 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link

Right. Everyone worldwide is going to stop doing that because azazelcrowley said to. Idiot.

[–]TheLordOfShit 5 points6 points7 points 11 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Doesn't matter if people listen. Doesn't change the fact that he's right. You can be compassionate without coddling.

[–]anonlymouse 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

No, he's wrong. Not coddling women is a decent idea, but coddling men is a terrible one.

[–]azazelcrowley 2 points3 points4 points 11 years ago* (3 children) | Copy Link

Well, quite a few people have stopped coddling women, and quite a few have started being more empathetic to men. Not because I said so though. (Though who knows, maybe one or two.) But I bet we can get more to do so if enough of us talk about it. You think everyones going to be stoic just because you say so? Sounds like a double standard to me. This is mensrights, not tradcon bullshit.

... Do you coddle women? You sure you're in the right place?

[–]anonlymouse 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Quite a few doesn't make a difference. Until then, men need to be stoic if they want to survive, or at least have the capacity to fall back on stoicism.

I don't coddle women at all, but I don't make a difference with all the white knights.

[–]Jacksambuck 2 points3 points4 points 11 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Of course he's a man, he's just not a masculine man in that regard. It's his choice. But I'm tired of hearing that anything connected to masculinity is bad and the solution to all of men's problems is to start crying and talk about your feelings.

They're positive yes, they're not female qualities. That doesn't make them negative when women have them, anymore than a beard becomes bad when a woman has one, but a beard is still a male physical characteristic, and breasts are female physical characteristics even if a man has them. That's not a hard concept to understand if you're not a PCtard.

That's because many men are now complicit in their own emasculation, and you can't blame women for that.

Actually, you can. Boys are being trained to become this, in the female-owned classrooms, by the feminist media that depicts anything male as either villainous or incompetent, and by all the mothers who have used the family courts to part fathers from their families, leaving boys with no male role model at all.

Despite these attempts to socially engineer maleness out of existence, most men don't want to cry or endlessly witter on about their 'feelings'.

This x 1000

The "Bibles and pants for the godless heathens" approach.

"Look, tribe, if you allow us to rule over your lives and take over your land, will give you this religious book! And these stuffy European-style clothes!"

"Er, thanks. We're happy the way we are. We don't want your books, or your trousers!"

Same goes with the pitiful "concessions" I've seen so many RIF-RAFs offer to males "come the revolution":

"DON'T WORRY, BOYS, WHEN EQUALITY IS ACHIEVED YOU'LL BE ABLE TO WEAR MAKEUP AND SKIRTS AND CRY WHENEVER YOU WANT1!!!"

"Er. No, thanks. We're cool."

What is so hilarious to me is that genuine strong so called "Manly man" doesn't give a shit what some whiny moaning pressure group thinks.

what people genuinely consider manly leaders of men are not easily swayed by hysterical "mah feelz"

its like a validation test, if you consider hysterical outrage you are not a "real man"

Oh yes you can, it's called indoctrination. Well in concerns to the feminist women I mean.

Feminism is the problem. Blames men.

Oh, so females didn't do anything wrong, again. OK, sure.

There is privilege, but it's not male privilege, it's the privilege of being an empire.

You don't, you can't see this sort of shit in the third-world.

This is why the U.S. more and more is relying upon sloppy-ass drone strikes. There is no way they're going to be able to keep a strong military presence with their cuckolded panzy wastes of a populace. The few tithes of masculinity they do have will know better than to let themselves be crippled and shot in a war to come home to some cheating whore.

So they'll just have their fat, stupid, citizenry work the dole and construct machines to maintain their foothold on the world for them.

While inclined to agree that there is an attack on maleness, I think this man is not competent to carry that message.

There is surely an attack on men of all kinds as well, including feminist men (shut up and listen), boys (are stupid throw rocks at them), and even gay men (who make great pets but aren't real people because they haven't been feminist enough).

And gender-neutral toys (or more precisely, letting kids choose toys for themselves) is a good thing because it lets kids tell you who they are, instead forcing an incorrect gender role onto them. Some of your little girls aren't girls. And some of your little boys aren't boys. THAT is the biology HE is denying. Or does he really think that all that DNA was just meaningless junk, and he can just look at a crotch and tell what someone was inside?

The answer to the claim that everything is socially constructed is not the claim that everything is so simple that we figured it out in the middle-eastern desert thousands of years ago. No. Follow the facts.

Followed directly by ...

But, in fairness, some of the critics made some good points and I accept that I misspoke.

"an assertion which provoked a particular snort of derision from the wife."

Looks to me like he may be referencing one of the commenters from his other article.

Sarcasm doesn't translate very well to written form.

[–]Edghyatt 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

That was the best-written line of the whole article because it's clearly satire.

The rest was a whiny rant based wholly on emotion and the author's prejudices on what a man is.
