This whole situation with the State funding a woman's life where she has CHOSEN to proceed with family formation in the absence of a man is fraught with difficulty, yes, in the sense that in this sort of scenario, indeed, who needs a man?<br /><br />This alone, if tackled, would solve a lot of the problems we face today. Get rid of State-funded fatherlessness.<br /><br />"When women are themselves paying 50% of the taxes they might start to resent carrying the burden of the solo mums."<br /><br />Do you know, I have NEVER thought of this scenario!<br />Far more than the immediate absence of large numbers of men in the marriage market, it is THIS which I think might hurt women en masse more.<br />We have already established that a woman might say (about MGTOW): I don't need him anyway, he's just a bitter loser...<br /><br />But THIS, what you describe above, this would force an issue bewtween single mothers and other women, be they married or single.<br /><br />I think you are onto something here...<br />Frightening prospect for women who are not themselves single mothers...<br /><br />Society doesn't care too much about bachelors funding the single mother. But where you all of a sudden have other mothers or single women funding single mothers, Houston we have a problem!<br /><br />Interesting huh?<br /><br />This is a real gem from you. I shall ponder this possibility for a while longer...<br /><br />Spacetravellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202131232540121117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312159882790612546.post-27513787517371837952015-04-18T06:45:33.816-07:002015-04-18T06:45:33.816-07:00Ceer,
Good luck with your studies! I presume you ...Ceer,<br /><br />Good luck with your studies! I presume you may have exams coming up? I bet you would be top of the class! :)<br /><br />"Women can only be threatened en masse by something explicit and pointed, otherwise solipsism will obscure the message."<br /><br />Incredibly accurate, this. I don't really believe that 'solipsism' is a 'woman-only' problem, but for sure, it is a huge factor in this particular case. In matters of the heart, so to speak, we women take things much more personally than men. So I have to agree with you on this!<br /><br />"In order to threaten, MGTOW must command a significant number of attractive (attractive enough) men, or a significant amount of money."<br /><br />Yes, and this will be an instant and effective response to the 'you are all losers' argument.<br /><br />I certainly get that.<br /><br />The rest of your comment about MGTOW exposes also my own ambivalent thoughts about this movement and what it actually means in terms of an individual's life. I like to think of SMP issues in terms of individuals for this very reason: Once you start lumping everyone together, a lot of issues get confounded and good people get confused with the not so good. There is no doubt that some MGTOWs behave exactly as feminists do, and ironically, they themselves do not see the similarity...<br /><br />On balance, I think that if I were a man, I would have your attitude to the SMP, i.e. that I would not associate myself with MGTOW necessarily, beyond a general solidarity I would have with men in general (what you are calling 'sympathise with them') but be always open to a woman who I could see had a 'best-fit' to my life, which may involve 'training' her to my tastes, using Game. Difficult of course to be that confident that I would do this, as it is not so straightforward to interpose the sexes, so my assertion can perhaps only be taken with a pinch of salt...<br /><br />The other thing is that perhaps a lot of MGTOWs actually share your exact same views and STILL call themselves MGTOW, which is confusing to 'bystanders' like me. Perhaps the bystanders like me need to realise that retaining the title of 'MGTOW' is somehow comforting/shows solidarity/is even mildly 'therapeutic' to these men even if they are not as ardent in their avoidance of women as true MGTOWs? I can certainly see how a sense of 'brotherhood' may be playing a part in all this.<br /><br />Thank you for your very clear thoughts on this. It is very helpful for those who want to understand more and indeed for those who are looking for ways to negotiate the SMP today.<br />Spacetravellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202131232540121117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312159882790612546.post-78765438278134276782015-04-16T22:13:01.559-07:002015-04-16T22:13:01.559-07:00April 16, 2015 at 10:11 PM was Glissando BTW ;)April 16, 2015 at 10:11 PM was Glissando BTW ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312159882790612546.post-68285495984220505842015-04-16T22:11:48.278-07:002015-04-16T22:11:48.278-07:00ST said "Fifty years ago, men did not NEED to...ST said "Fifty years ago, men did not NEED to learn about women, because women were taught to compensate for men's lack of understanding. Nowadays men do, because women as a whole lack this 'training'. Perhaps because we are all busy getting careers??"<br /><br />As much as anything else, I think it's because the State has replaced the husband and father. Many women believe men are no longer necessary, and have said so publicly. <br /><br />Re: education of women as a factor. <br />During my own schooling in the 1990s, the boys were made to feel second rate to the girls. Even at a young age I refused to take the brainwashing on board. Strongly defined masculine and feminine roles in my extended family prevented this happening, as I've mentioned before. I knew girls are no more special than boys. However it did affect the girls at school and my young male friends. The system influenced their young minds to believe women do not need men. Husbands and fathers are unnecessary.<br /><br />Education of women is good in and of itself. Biased education is bad. Thanks to feminist ideology, education has been a negative influence in the relationship between the sexes. <br /><br />"Will MGTOW really make an impact on women's attitudes towards men if these same women believe (or are made to believe) that MGTOWs are men they need to avoid anyway because they are all losers? I think not."<br /><br />Agreed. Men will continue to be unnecessary to women as long as the Great Alpha (the state) can afford to support solo mums. However, the herbivores of Japan and the "single and not looking for a woman" men of the West do not have to earn as much to get by on their own. Many of them will themselves become a burden on the State. Men will cease to be the net contributors that they were before. Currently men pay 75% of the taxes. When women are themselves paying 50% of the taxes they might start to resent carrying the burden of the solo mums. <br /><br />Reason men become MGTOW:<br />Not many men become MGTOW to teach women a lesson. The overwhelming reason for MGTOW is that modern women are not worth the huge risk that marriage and LTR present to men. First marriages have 1 chance in 15 of surviving 10 years (http://www.statisticbrain.com/marriage-statistics/). A father has a more than 99% chance of losing his children after 10 years. It's just not worth the risk. Meanwhile sex for a single man has never been easier.

Allow me to give a short answer right now, s...ST, <br /><br />Allow me to give a short answer right now, since I'm busy studying. We can talk about this in depth in a few days. <br /><br />You are correct in identifying me as not MGTOW. Though, I do sympathize with them, it's not my choice of lifestyle.<br /><br />MGTOW, like any philosophy, should be analyzed based on its own rules. At its core, is the belief that men are best off choosing to live alone. Reasons for this may include perceived likelihood of divorce, suitability of candidates for marriage, quality of life, and financial reasons. Like any large scale movement, it will have internal differences, a wide variety of people from many walks of life. MGTOW can be understood as self-interested in that it concerns itself not for the society as a whole, but only bringing benefit for people who pursue it. <br /><br />From what I have seen, rather than attempting to change the status quo, it focuses its efforts on preserving what resources can be salvaged, then using them to benefit the self. It's less about "punishing" women, and more of an explicit withdrawal. <br /><br />In reviewing the quote, I should have made it more clear that either condition may cause a woman to look at MGTOW as a threat, seeing a loss of a potential roll in the hay or brand name purse as something horrible. <br /><br />The reason why I don't think MGTOW is the right move for men is encased in my quote from your comment above. In our culture, women don't reproduce in a rational manner. They require romance to pique their feelings, then, and only then, see to the details. Women can only be threatened en masse by something explicit and pointed, otherwise solipsism will obscure the message. In order to threaten, MGTOW must command a significant number of attractive (attractive enough) men, or a significant amount of money. <br /><br />Any statement about the quality or finances of these people can be viewed in terms of this bias. Negative statements by women can certainly be dismissed as ad hominem attacks to diminish the credibility of MGTOW to threaten. <br /><br />Another reason why I am not MGTOW philosophically is that it falls into the same trap that feminism does. It is a philosophy based on the advancement of one gender. No thought is given to the other gender as an end in itself. To me, a culture that wants to endure for long must focus the majority of its people into traditional marriages, therefore, I find both MGTOW and feminism unlivable in the long term. This is what shapes my opinion of feminists as selfish, foolhardy, and hateful women. The MGTOW, I have more sympathy for because it operates as a defense. <br /><br />Among the two contemporary options of PUA and MGTOW, I suppose you could say that I'm in neither camp. Nor can you say I'm blue pill, I've certainly seen too much. As much as there is a third way, that is what I am. My philosophy is informed by the morality of the past. I look to the future based on both reason and faith. <br /><br />On a side note, you speak of women grabbing power back, this is wrong. The only rough analogues to the current situation occurred in late classical Sparta and the late Roman Empire. Using the terminology "grab power back" only serves to legitimize a power grab that has no recent precedent.

The following comment of yours deserves fur...Ceer,<br /><br />The following comment of yours deserves further analysis:<br /><br /><i> "One reason why I'm not an MGTOW, is that I don't have faith in the ultimate rationality of women. MGTOW as a form of punishment makes sense if and only if: <br />1) The men going their own way are desirable sexually. <br />2) The men going their own way remove scarce resources that can't be seized by force. <br /><br />I'm pretty sure many women WANT to see men they consider unattractive become MGTOW, because they don't need anything from them, best to chase them off for good." </i><br /><br />This is an excellent point, and it is one that saddens me most about MGTOW. It happens to be relevant, because I have just responded to one such comment from a commenter by the name of James T Kirk (who may or may not be a man). This notion that MGTOW men are just 'losers who can't get laid' is VERY widespread amongst people who are not sympathetic to the cause.<br /><br />But I know that this is not how most MGTOWs are. These men are actually successful, happy-within-themselves men.<br /><br />So what do we do with this situation?<br /><br />We could either ignore the haters, or give them a different impression of MGTOW.<br /><br />In my opinion, ignoring something does not necessarily mean it goes away. Sometimes silence really is NOT golden. Will MGTOW really make an impact on women's attitudes towards men if these same women believe (or are made to believe) that MGTOWs are men they need to avoid anyway because they are all losers? I think not. At least part of MGTOW SHOULD be about changing the status quo, no? In which case, silence is a bad idea, simply because the message will not get across. If someone can convince me that the message will get across with silence, they would need to explain how. :) Unless of course one means that men demonstrating how successful they are without a word will itself make an Impact. But is that not too high a price to pay? If a man who IS so successful that he could have a nice family, doesn't, just so as to 'teach them b*tches a lesson' is that not somehow shooting oneself in one's foot?<br /><br />Giving an alternative (i.e. more positive) view of MGTOW is of course desirable, yes. I know from experience in this very post that many men have successfully done this, at least for me. I now 'get it'.<br /><br />I suspect you may be engaged in another option, Ceer. And that is, not to be a MGTOW, but openly lament the loss of general femininity. It goes something like this: Ladies, we men really need you to be Ladies (capital L). We don't like it when you trun yourselves into pseudo-men/b*tches/harpies/fatties/harridans/whatever.<br />We desire a return to your God-given natural feminine ways. Love, your men.<br /><br />I secretly think that when (third wave?) feminism arose because of women's dissatisfaction with men, women simply went about 'regaining control' in the wrong way. We grabbed the 'power' back in a less-than-gracious way, unbecoming of feminine women. If women had simply voraciously made a plea like the one above (and yes, women are not prone to 'silence', so it would have been certainly VERY voracious as well as verbose, lol!) who's to say that things might not be different between the sexes right now?<br /><br />Hm, does this 'Option 3' sound too much like 'grovelling', unbecoming of masculine creatures? Perhaps there are some who may feel it is, but I don't think so personally. I think women as a whole might respond well to this tactic because essentially we are guilt-ridden creatures, so if you appeal to our (innate)sense of guilt, you got us. :)<br /><br />Anyway, interesting topic. Should be explored further, methinks.<br /><br /><br />Spacetravellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202131232540121117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312159882790612546.post-15542148004744970922015-04-15T00:41:02.510-07:002015-04-15T00:41:02.510-07:00Use me to learn these lessons, LFOD. I am a normal...Use me to learn these lessons, LFOD. I am a normal woman, I think. Beacuse I am a distant female, my visceral reactions to your comments won't of course make any impact on your life, but (I hope) they can only help you to see how a real woman in your own life might react. Christian or not, visceral reactions are a fact of life. I learn all the time about how you mean react viscerally to us women. I am happy to return the favour. As you can see, I may sometimes be 'logical' because I am trying to be. But I am very much a woman, and logic will never be my 'home'. I live on planet 'emotion' as do most other women.<br /><br />If any man here still doesn't understand my beef with LFOD, ask me to explain it again and again until you get it.<br /><br />I think too many men are simply unaware of how women think, and this is causing too many problems in relationships. Fifty years ago, men did not NEED to learn about women, because women were taught to compensate for men's lack of understanding. Nowadays men do, because women as a whole lack this 'training'. Perhaps because we are all busy getting careers?? As you guys know, I am not against educating women, but if a woman's education is taking something from her femininity, then I could be persuaded that indeed educating her is a bad thing. I do know however, that even in the 50s, a lot of educated women had this 'training' I speak of. So it CANNOT be the fault of the education. Must be something else ruining womanhood... <br />Being a good provider, etc. is simply not enough, as many men are finding out. You now need to actually understand the b*tch as well, lol.<br /><br />I jest, but this is not funny...simple misunderstandings are leading to massive destructions of whole families... Definitely not funny.<br /><br />Yes, women need to blink first, as Bellita and I agree upon. But you men need to gain some sort of control too. Learn about women's emotional triggers, however illogical they may seem to you. Learn Game. Honestly, you are dead in the water without it, even if you don't want to get married.<br /><br />It is of vital importance. Even if you don't use your knowledge, get it anyway. It could help you one day even outside the SMP.Spacetravellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202131232540121117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312159882790612546.post-22298776707163408852015-04-15T00:40:31.616-07:002015-04-15T00:40:31.616-07:00Aha, Ceer, voila!

They are displayed now.<br /><br />In the event of a long comment, please first check that that the words 'your comment has been saved' is displayed before closing the comments box. If not, look below the comments box and there will be an error message as to why your comment wasn't published. It is usually because of long comments (longer than circa 4,000 characters) but also, unrecognised editing functions, eg. italics html could be the reason...<br /><br />About your comments about LFOD, thank you for your thoughts. I was rather harsh with LFOD (apologies LFOD!).<br /><br />But honestly, I wish he could see for himself just how he came across. This should NOT be the image of MGTOW. MGTOW can be a truly positive thing, as many men have shown me, and NOT some man celebrating that he escaped buying flowers for a woman.<br /><br />My point is and remains: WHO told you that you need to be buying flowers for a woman? Do you not make your own rules in your household?<br /><br />Trust me, if you start doing this, any woman under your 'jurisdiction' will follow. If she doesn't, she is not the right one for you anyway, so you lose nothing.<br /><br />Sometimes, gentlemen, women really NEED you to be confident in your own skin. We don't want to hear you moaning that you are not being ALLOWED to lead. It drives us nuts.<br /><br />So I hope that LFOD can see that my female brain (OK, hamster, lol) detected 'weakness' in his comment, and caused me to fly off the handle. My outburst was directed at his own (in my opinion) self-flagellation: AKA, they told me to do X, and now I deny myself the possibility of a *potentially* mutually enjoyable relationship with a woman because at least I get to escape doing X, which THEY told me to do. <br />My French hamster responds with 'quoi?!'<br /><br />Spacetravellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202131232540121117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312159882790612546.post-50831721953161451972015-04-14T14:13:41.808-07:002015-04-14T14:13:41.808-07:00A very belated happy Easter to you all.

LOL. Saturation point!
I think yo...Brother Metak,<br /><br />LOL. Saturation point!<br /><br />I think you are very much like Glissando in that you have no problems whatsoever with the opposite sex because Game is inherent to you, most likely.<br /><br />I say good on you Brother Metak!<br />Good on you.<br />Spacetravellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202131232540121117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312159882790612546.post-2522415186909538232015-02-11T00:19:31.604-08:002015-02-11T00:19:31.604-08:00Glissando, You're welcome.Glissando, You're welcome.Ceernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312159882790612546.post-42301087632448185322015-02-10T20:12:42.156-08:002015-02-10T20:12:42.156-08:00You're welcome, Glissando.You're welcome, Glissando.

"Bro Metak, you there?"
Nah,...Glissando:<br /><i>"Bro Metak, you there?"</i><br /><br />Nah, my interest in these sort of things has reached the lowest point ever.<br />Few functioning braincells left rebelled and rewired what was left of the previous brain. ;-)metakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08536194179488710246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312159882790612546.post-68966657374558771312015-02-08T11:47:41.337-08:002015-02-08T11:47:41.337-08:00The comment at February 5, 2015 at 6:39 PM was me ...The comment at February 5, 2015 at 6:39 PM was me BTW.<br /><br />I haven't thanked Ceer properly for all the info he related to my case, so I'll do so now: thanks mate.<br /><br />GlissandoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312159882790612546.post-63807427903533945732015-02-05T18:39:33.080-08:002015-02-05T18:39:33.080-08:00Great!

Indebted to you as always.<br /><br />Glissando,<br /><br />Hallelujah, peace at last!<br /><br />Don't worry, it was already obvious to me how well-grounded you were in your inner (masculine) confidence. I think this was even obvious to me well before I saw your picture. It does come across even in your writing.<br /><br />Your family background is something to be cherished. Whatever you may do with your life, you undoubtedly had a fantastic head start.<br /><br />If one day I had sons, and they said this of their own upbringing/family background, I would be the proudest Mum ever :)<br /><br />The perfect antidote to feminism is a strogly-grounded family, just like yours.<br /><br />Wonderful to see it described with so much pride, as you do, Glissando.<br /><br />Thanks for making my day a little brighter.<br /><br /><br /><br />Spacetravellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202131232540121117noreply@blogger.com
