It's been a puzzling and dismaying couple of weeks. Two bloggers from the UK have almost completely vanished with little fanfare, and those of you already familiar with the MGTOW scene, already know something about the disappearing acts, although I won't go into detail here, except to save the questioning for the private forums for now. I will say godspeed to them if by any off-chance they are reading this, and wish the best.
That being said, although I write here on a semi-regular basis myself, this is far from dead in cyberspace, and I fully intent to continue to probe deeper issues when I can. My MMA training is fine, although right now I've taken some herbal and fiber supplements to flush my system, so pumping iron was placed on the backburner until tomorrow. Alas, I didn't get to see the recent cage matches part of my crew signed up for up close and personal, but even a couple of the guys that lost actually went down fighting, literally. Good show!
A few "evil" thoughts before more next blog post:
-What can feminism do for men? What's in it for men? Even the question has been skewed by feminists to mean even posing the question means its an extension of male entitlement. I counter by stating that men should look out for their own self interests at all times, because feminism will never, and I mean NEVER do it; past, present, or future. Not one bit. Unless you're a male feminist getting a good volume of "female attention" (nudge nudge, wink) and have a salary built on spinning yarns and believing your own self-righteous bullshit.
-What good are women "friends" if they don't do you any good? What purpose does it serve it all they are going to do is act coy, cry for help, bitch about their husbands and kids (in a one-sided tangent that doesn't stop about the same goddamn problems), never give their loyalty in return, provide a shoulder to lean upon? Even a decent blowjob doesn't allay the months upon months of being used as an emotional tampon, only to be discarded when your utility worth is deemed non-existent. And women are supposed to be more loyal than men?
-It is women -- not men -- that are pushing men into non-mongamous trysts, the use of sex workers and therapists, and quiet civil disobedience. It is women who are divorcing men out of boredem. It is women who are committing to the idea of hypergamy versus the reality of committing to hardworking men, after their party years have taken its toll and sleeping with dregs is no longer desirable. Women do not want to share life with men. If they did, they would make a serious effort for it. They want a beta male who has the appearance of an alpha, who ultimately caves in to women's whims and desires, and go to the next man if the former outlives his usefulness---providing she already has more than a toehold in the latter's life.
-Young American women are scared to death with relating to men as global human beings. It means that they would have to treat men as emotional and spiritual equals. It is something they cannot have, and will prove to be their future failing in life.
-Feminism is a tool, a means to an end, for certain women who "pick and choose" between traditionalism and "equality." Their cognitive dissonance doesn't bother them, because they don't spend a wealth of time with self-examination.
-Young women who are harboring a selfish, myopic, short term gain, and stunted system of dealing with men are refusing to see that is already backfiring on them, and they still deny their own complicity because the default mechanism in their psychologies is to blame men wholesale, even completely innocent men they cannot have, because they are resentful they have to "settle."
-Many men realize that a polyamorous approach is more desirable than the financial serfdom of living with a nagging, used up single mother with brats sired with a thug or a nobody, which was the mum's selection in the first place. Only manginas and the desperate seek them out, and even they might rebel if like an abused dog, they get kicked around too much.
-Gossiping skanks believe that the male-bashing they do behind our backs is out of our range. Guess what---we're doing more than eavesdropping, we're figuring out what makes you tick as well, and what we have to do not to get hurt by conspiring female jerks again.
-Many men resent the idea of "woman as leader" not because of her sex, but because her abuse of power. If anything, women politicians that are openly feminist dump more heat on men while allegedly favoring women, all for the sake of furthering their political careers; VAWA, IMBRA, rape shield laws, background checks when seeking foreign brides . . . the list goes on. Their track records have proven them untrustworthy and unfair, caring about their own self-promotion, and they turn a blind eye towards men's rights. Pray those that aren't openly feminist don't have a clandestine ax to grind.
-Too many women are in the upswing of the sport of blaming men, remaining clueless why men are completely sick of their bullshit they spew about how an idea relationship consists of, and what a true family is all about. Single moms are guilty as charged.
-Men, with still too few positive leadership roles coming from forefathers, aren't looking to matriarchal figureheads for several reasons, including the fact women don't want to truly understand men (they already think they do) Instead of providing more respect, nurturing them, mentoring them, and giving insight, they up the ante with guilt and shame, thus continuing the cycle of alienating and turning men off to them. Since they demand social obligation from men as a right, they get weak and and tenuous results because they refuse to uphold any similar conditions in the social compact.

Feminist And Guilty Part One: Male Feminists
I've always had truck with mere idea of male feminists. I'm sure I'm not the only one. I find the concept oddly intriguing, and the reality of it is no where near as the facade they would don. It is like the evangelist that plays the role of the epitome of a great Christian, while living a life of deception on the side and rationalizing any discrepancies.
For one, I'm puzzled at the their incessant agreement with their female counterparts that male privilege exists despite the overwhelming evidence that men simply, on average, don't have it as good as modern day women. Many will point out how women have been oppressed for thousands of years (or whatever amount of time it supposedly is) and almost completely ignore the pitfalls, the adversities, the tedium, the inequalities men face and are expected to accept nary a complaint.
Or, if they are to be acknowledged, it is nowhere near the suffering women go through---women always have it worse. Even gay men don't have it as bad as women, despite political affilations male feminists have with them, women are the ones who are the majority of victims of any form of prejudices down the line. And any incessant and institutionalized discrimination against men is the result or negative manifestation of patriarchy, and no women at all are to blame either . . . whether or not they are complicit in the silence for no outrage against the damning of men and masculinity.
I'm sure that male feminists will have bulwarks that buffer most accusations MRAs and the politically incorrect-minded can muster. My most destructive barbs always include menacing edge that they can't shield themselves against utterly---the hallmark of the good guy badge. And promulgate a good image. Chances are that they are doing very little to clearly help women, but have no problems with expecting---even demanding---men change for women, because, of course, women have it worse and women, despite being strong and independent, need help and protection from big, bad other men.
Male feminists have much to gain by their label, but my questioning of their self-description is thus: what are they really DOING as opposed to the lipservice they give to their position? It often serves to keep them employed in a cushy job that offers no serious challenge. It gives them the attention that many skanks seek---an audience in which they are the cynosure, the counsel figure, the fake post-modern shaman and humanitarian.
But it also gives them much lavished attention from women. Male feminists will deny that their motivation as a penultimate feature; self gain, and with that self gain cock-blocking is an accusation that is supposed be laughable, but let's face it, women will often buy into a proud figure that will promote one's self, whether it is in the college classroom or dance club. "I'M better than HIM" they will boast with an undercurrent of masked self-righteousness, in order to gain favor with women and maybe even prevent access to women from other men by stigmatizing or blasting them. So they rise to the forefront, which is what they wanted, anyway.
Of course, much of them dismiss or try to criticise men's rights activists, and pinning them with a cluster of charges, ranging from approval of wife beating to unilateral misogyny, and what have you.
Male feminists state most men don't believe they want to change (and should), but when they want men to change it is in reference to women and in service to women. Women are infallible, men are flawed and need to personally reshape their social, sexual, and workplace attitudes for women. And after all, men have oppressed women for centuries, right, so it's only right and fair that men should employ adaptive strategies in order to help women. In this regard, male feminists are no different than traditional men who expect men to live up to the standards of chivalry without reward---that women still need to be protected. And men are universally responsible for conduct towards women, and owe women that to fulfill the debt allegedly spawned from "evil" oppressive patriarchy.
Of course, we will call a spade a spade here due to all of the campaigns of "men can stop rape" and such other expressed associative guilt heaped on men from feminists: it's collective bigotry. Male feminists also enjoy using this in order to flash their good guy badges and claim high moral ground.
Continually preaching that men should practice self-sacrifice in regards to women, most don't live up to it in their own life examples. This is the main reason why neither MRAs nor gender feminists, oddly enough, trust male feminists. It isn't just the thinly-veiled invidious remarks towards MRA camps---male feminists grew up not comfortable in their own skin, with other men not like themselves, and may have even lived a life of wanton abandon with women in the past, and expurge their guilt and shame on others by demanding men shape up.
The true believers---which are the most damaging because they believe in their cause---aren't dangerous because tedium of their internal hypocrisy. It is the harm they create for other men, and men who desire women without the hurdles of feminist memes and the distrust fostered between the sexes.

Standing up for Masculinity
Voodoojock, of his own site I linked to as well as others, enjoyed this response to "I am a feminist" so I am reproducing it here.
I am masculinist because of the following:
-It was obvious that I would be subject to more violence (across the board) because I am a man, and our justice system is more protective of women and the local authorities more reticent to look out for men.
-I had to pay much of my college courses and programs out of my own pocket, and special funds for my own sex simply did not exist.
-When I woke up to the fact in high school the elitist young women, whether they were sluttish or prudes would never consider me as a love interest because of my working class male status.
-I am a masculinist because women believe they have an inherent right to demean my sexuality and masculinity without consequences, or without protest, and if I do, I am considered a misogynist by default.
-I am masculinist because the Supreme Court historically favors American women in spite of feminist propaganda claiming otherwise.
-I am pro-male because I know that false charges of DV, sexual harassment, rape, and paternity fraud possibly leveled at me women are believed even in the face of ZERO evidence, the former three of which far outweigh any ersatz charges by men.
-I am this way because I will have to work harder than any female for recognition, job security, and status, and that employers are more fearful of firing and laying off women than men. When women can take more time off OUTSIDE of just pregnancy and use sick leave as an excuse more than I can.
-I am pro-masculinity when I know that women in clubs or lounges will always believe they know me, men, and relationships despite never truly accepting me for the holistic totality of my being, and would rather dismiss me out of hand than face true intimacy.
-I am pro-men because I realize that men's health, their pain and suffering, their burdens, and their loneliness and alienation is still overlooked, ignored, or even invisible according to this culture.
I AM A MAN, Virginia . . . deal with it.
