There are tons of delicious little nuggets in here, and is definitely worth bookmarking if you're feeling intimidated by the "wall of text". It took me about 90 minutes to read in one sitting (being a slow reader, and while playing internet poker at the same time).

When they do attempt to draw a conclusion or a larger inference from an anecdote they will often ask, “Does that make any sense?” And the answer, of course is (almost invariably) no, it doesn't make any sense. And since I wasn't trying to get any of them into bed, I would say so (if you're trying to get them into bed, you always say “yes, that makes perfect sense” or manufacture some sensible interpretation that has nothing to do with what they said). Telling them that they don't make sense, I found, is like telling them that not only do they not win the trip to Hawaii, they don't even get the Samsonite luggage. They become forlorn and uncommunicative.

He does a good job at illustrating just how women are "emotional" beings.

. . . I don't know what you would call it. It wasn't communication in any meaningful sense of the term as I understand it. It was a kind of “emotional badminton.” I acted happy, sympathetic, interested and cheerful and then it was her turn to act happy, sympathetic, interested and cheerful and then it was my turn, etc. She might accidentally say something interesting where I could, with sincerity, say that I found what she had just said interesting. This temporarily escalated the level of her cheerfulness but, alas, that is all that it did: whatever was being said ranking a very distant second to maintaining and escalating the level of cheerfulness.

I'll never be able to look at communicating with women the same way again.

[–]Hoodwink1 point2 points3 points 13 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

That second part 'emotional badminton' is the most succinct explanation of how a good majority of women think communication works.

if you're feeling intimidated by the "wall of text".

Readability to the rescue. Eh, strike that, didn't work.

[–]dropit_sphere4 points5 points6 points 13 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I read it all. There are some interesting parts. What stood out to me was the very end:

1970 would come to be synonymous with the onset of feminism, wherein the black man found his Civil Rights usurped by those who hold, instead, these poisonous, fairy-tale “truths” to be self-evident: that black men are interchangeable with black women and white women, that black men are interchangeable with homosexualists; that black men are interchangeable with children and with infants, that black men are interchangeable with babies, that black men are interchangeable with cats and that black men are interchangeable with dogs.

I tread carefully here because I know race is a topic to be careful about; that said, I do find it noteworthy that however I treat race, feminists seem to be willing to subsume a man's sex in favor of his race.

I'm a white guy. But I'd like to think I'm a white GUY, more so than a WHITE guy.

I was with him till he started raving about God's will, abortion is murder, women are going to burn in hell. He makes some good observations. But for a guy who advocates reason and logic he fails to make the jump from those observations to meaningful conclusions.

[–]ezeepeezee2 points3 points4 points 13 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I stopped there too. I think abortion is wrong for completely different reasons, and I couldn't take him seriously after reading that. If he were a religious physicist, fine, I'll listen if his math is good. But a religious commentary on societal issues - not so much.

[–]haterandhypocrite 3 points4 points5 points 13 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Religion is the original hamster.

[–]luxury_banana1 point2 points3 points 13 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

It's unfortunate but the guy seems to have turned to religion and celibacy as a coping mechanism to his gained knowledge. Aside from the religion though he has a lot of good things to say. And keep in mind this stuff was all written way before the manosphere.

He's rightly credited as being one of the fathers of MGTOW.

There's a lot of good stuff you can get out of reading his writings on gender issues if you tune out the religion parts.

[–]nonservator2 points3 points4 points 13 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

All this whining about too much to read. What are you, a retarded child with no attention span?

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 13 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Wall of text makes meh go blind ~

[–]TheRockSays-1 point2 points3 points 13 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Agreed, but there is some gold midway through.

[–]luxury_banana0 points1 point2 points 13 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Dave Sim wrote some really interesting stuff a lot of people in this sub could be into.

[–]RedPillTheory0 points1 point2 points 13 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I swear, if you're going to write about the red pill, and you don't use god damn punctuation, you deserve a dick punch. Nothing says unhinged lunatic like a wall of badly edited, badly written, badly paragraphed text.

[–]MarkyBhoy101-1 points0 points1 point 13 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I'm not reading that, it'll take about an hour and I don't want to go screen blind. What's the gist of it?
