For some reason, this weekend I’m real upset over something I have not thought about in a while. Primarily, because feminism, in my mind, has become worthless. However, after reading one of Irina’s recent posts and one Roissy’s older posts, it got me thinking about how much better my life would have been if I had been raised to be an asshole.
Also, I watched Superbad today. Movies like Superbad are the worst thing you can show to your kid. It’s like telling them being a beta & a loser is okay. I cringed when he offered to buy her the Vodka at no cost. Then when everything works out in the end? Yeah, right. Those girls wouldn’t touch those guys with a 10-foot pole. I guess that’s why it’s a movie and not reality. If violence in movies can make kids turn into criminals, then losers in movies portrayed positively can turn kids into losers.
I’ve put alot of effort over the last year into removing the indoctrination and brainwashing of the first 21 years of my life.
Men & Women are not equal. Men have a penis. Women have a vagina. Thus the whole idea male-female equality is flawed from the get-go.
Equal opportunity != Equality.
Young men all over the country are coming to the same conclusion that you are coming to. The fantasy world that our parents tried to build is just that – fantasy. It was an interesting thought experiment but it would have done better in a philosophy book than thrust upon the entire civilized world where the stakes are as high as they go. Then again, that’s what every generation does, now isn’t it?
Our generation is like the little kid tugging on his father’s sleeve saying, “But daddy, the emperor isn’t wearing any clothes!”
Congratulations, you’ve taken it upon yourself to start taking the road that the boomers have been desperately trying to hide for four decades now, and that is the road of common sense, practical thinking, and obeying the basic, inalienable, unavoidable, biologically consequential fact that men and women are not the same and are not equal.
Now that you’ve realized they were wrong about that, it’s time to start asking yourself what else they were wrong about. You’ll quickly find out that the answer is everything.

Dude, with time I think you may discover that the secret of not being a beta is not all that life boils down to. In the short term you are right about using your knowledge to play the “game” – you have no doubt found out that playing the game closes the deal. But if you keep setting up the strawman that feminism or equality is the problem you may miss out on a lot of nuance to your position. It is like saying that liberalism destroyed American families. Such statements pretend to carry foundation truths when instead they grind the axe of blame without explaining an awful lot. The game and its practioners work on real psychological and biological triggers; maybe even hardwired programs in our psyche. The game works but its success does not carry deep meaning for men and women at large. Don’t confuse the tools for success with women with the problem affecting society and betas today. So for me, it goes too far to say that feminism or so-called equality between the sexes has ruined men and you. You may be angry today, but I hope you find a different perspective with time.
