  • I wouldn’t say the feminists I know believe any of that stuff. Most of them are focused on poverty and rape and how those things affect women.

    I think you need to read this.

    You aren’t the tail which wags the dog in feminist circles. The man-hating gender bigots who lead all these feminist organizations are the ones who control the narrative. The more hateful, spiteful, and extreme they are, the more they get celebrated as role models for young women.

    Yeah, it looks like Wikipedia says MGTOW is part of the manosphere and dominated by the far-right,

    I think that specific article takes the prize for being by far the most blatantly inaccurate and downright socially poisoned article on Wikipedia.

    It’s an extreme example of gender bigotry bias, and ideological “poisoning of the well” by female supremacists. It’s their straw man that they can point to and claim MGTOW is “misogynistic”.

    The problem with most redpill communities is that they are recruiting fields for alt-right troglodytes. So most any incel forum will also be awash with appeals to emotion to blind the young men in there to the underlying alt-right messaging.

    But MGTOW? Sure, some men are right-wing. But it’s hard to be of the right when the focus is on genuine self-improvement and brutally rational analysis.

    After all, reality itself has a strong left-leaning bias.

    Can’t argue with a single point.

    The main downside is that № 9 is a gateway to the redpill “manosphere”, which if they enter into incel communities this can go very bad for their mental health and interpersonal relationships.

    It’s why I have always pushed people like this to the MGTOW communities, which are all about camaraderie, self-improvement, rational self-assessment, setting healthy boundaries, and cultivating intrinsic (internal) motivation such that companionship of any kind switches from a psychological necessity to a value-added prospect, where the man can trivially walk away if the value just isn’t there.



  • That’s the entire joke, at least seen from the man’s side.

    These femcels actually believe that they are involuntarily celibate, when it actually comes 100% down to them not wanting the lower-90% of men in any capacity except as simps to do things for them and beta orbiters to maintain their egos.

    That doesn’t make them involuntarily celibate in any way, shape, or form, it just makes them deeply delusional of their own value, and horrendously self-sabotaging.

    Honestly, the hate and gender bigotry coming out of those communities make male incels look like rank amateurs. Men are so wildly behind the curve - compared to women - where gender bigotry is concerned that I’m shocked that men are even considered a problem, much less the problem.

    I mean, when was the last time you heard of men advocating to kill all women except for a small, select breeding population who exists purely to keep the population maintained?

    And yet, this is the fave philosophy of several of feminism’s greatest founders and writers - to bring the male population down to (depending on who is doing the advocating) either less than 1% of the population, or even lower. That men’s only purpose should be for sperm production, and so vanishingly few men would ever be needed except as a minimum level of genetic diversity. These women are lauded and widely celebrated by feminists everywhere.

    You literally cannot make this shit up.

    More and more men are getting sick and tired of women who think they are behaving like other men, but who are actually just being colossal assholes.

    And if we were to hold them to the same degree of accountability as men are, they have total meltdowns. The “who hurt you?” being exhibit № 1 of someone facing the discomfort of true accountability, and desperately trying to deflect and distract from it.

    Healthy boundaries can be deeply offensive to the privileged.

    remember that when you’re working on your own eye, you don’t have depth perception.

    Every year or five I’ll get a “sclera blister” that feels like a honking grain of sand in my eye. Sure, I’ve thought about taking a pair of tweezers to tear the dome of that blister off, but I have always been squicked like crazy because I can’t properly judge distances that close to the cornea. Corner of my eye or on the rim of the eye lid itself is difficult enough, but anywhere directly on the sclera that’s close to the cornea is definitely no-go land for me.

    my ear started hurting. I was utterly convinced it was just a stubborn clump of earwax.

    I am lucky enough to be one of those people who simply never builds up any serious amounts of ear wax. It’s oily and not crumbly, so a gentle swish of a Q-tip after a shower and it all comes out. my doc checks my ears twice a year and has never had cause to complain.

    But IIRC ear wax is soft enough to never be particularly painful unless you pack it down with something like a Q-tip. Like, so long as you know you have one of those ear wax types for whom Q-tips in any usage capacity is a bad idea (it’s usually the crumbly ear wax), the most it will do is accumulate until your hearing is affected.

    Now granted, it’ll plug up the ear canal until you have trouble hearing things. But all you need then is some professional irrigation by a doctor a few times a year, and as long as you aren’t in a third-world country like America, that should be 100% free.

    Atoms cannot be easily created or destroyed.

    However molecules can and often are easily assembled.

    Water is one of those molecules which are easy to create, and easy to break back apart into its constituent atoms. So yes, there is likely plenty of water that has never been boiled because it was created so recently (cosmologically speaking).

    Maybe I’ve been too far up the other long tail of the intelligence bell curve for far too long, but doesn’t “boiled” - the past participle of “to boil” indicate that this should be water in a post-boiled state? As in, water that is no longer even warm, much less hot?

    I am struggling to understand how anyone can think that pouring boiling or even still-hot water into their eyes is anything within even ICBM range of “a good idea”.
