And this exemplifies why you're a fucking moron. In fact, if your knowledge of gender issues is so supposedly expansive and yet you can be wrong about the gender of a male poster on a nearly exclusively male-dominated massage board, perhaps you're not the authority you think you are. Your gender stereotypes have failed you right off the bat, and I'm supposed to take anything you say after this point seriously? If only there were a group of people dedicated to eradicating these stereotypes... Oh wait, there is just such a group!
It seems as though I've struck a nerve. Perhaps there's something you wish to tell us? The closer you get to the truth, the louder women screech. This board has certainly seen its fair share of transgenders, so this is a safe place. Nearly everyone was completely convinced that Evelys was a she. A lot of people were convinced that Millie was a she. You're probably the first female pretending to be male that we've had, but there's a first for everything.
Not surprisingly, your form of message delivery is lost on most women. Adopting the male perspective seems novel, something that might set a woman apart in a world of common fem-speak, but it?s important for people to understand that anything positive an "equalist", or "pro-man" female author has to offer is still rooted in her female reality. In fem-world, what directly benefits women
necessarilyis presumed to benefit men. So, what you're beginning to see is a new crop of female bloggers bastardizing the ideas that MRAs, male blogs, etc. have put together, and repackaging it in a female context.
So women don't understand men and men don't understand women. Thanks for that completely pointless tidbit. Let's go one step further: No one can truly empathize with anyone else, since every person is living a unique experience specific to them and only them. Or, conversely, since we are all human, we are all capable of empathy to some degree, even to those of differing backgrounds, ages, ethnicities, genders, etc. See how pointless this can be? Not that it helped your point any way (and I'm being nice here, acting as though you had a point).
You see? The bolded is the sort of condescending remark that a female would make. "Oh, honey! Listen, I'm going to be nice here and let you down easy...".
No, women understand men very well. It's why they've been so effective in feminizing many of them. Fortunately for women, most men still don't understand
them(whether by denial or willful ignorance), and those that do are often consciously considered a "threat", but subconsciously they can't help feeling attracted to them. However, empathy isn't just "understanding", it goes far deeper than that. Empathy is understanding what others are feeling because you have
experiencedit yourself, or can put yourself in their shoes. Sympathy essentially implies a feeling of
recognitionof a person's suffering, while empathy is actually
sharinganother person's suffering, if only briefly. Most of the guys I know who've broken a bone, torn a bicep, or slipped a disc know, and could empathize with,
exactlywhat it feels like, and would know what I was describing to them. However, my wife's first reaction to that pain would be, "Oh, men are such babies! They all complain about how much it hurts! You think that's painful?! Try having a kid!". It's as if by dismissing the injury I would get up and say, "You know what? It?s really not so bad!" and go back to mowing the lawn.
Perhaps it?s due to a deeply enigmatic hard-wiring of the feminine's psychological firmware, but women cannot accept that
anyman, and in particular a man worth considering as a suitable life partner, might ever be incapacitated/having a rough time. The feminine subconscious refuses to acknowledge even the possibility of this. Perpetuating the species and ensuring the nurturing her offspring may be part of her pysche?s hard-wiring, but ensuring the survival and provisioning of her mate is not. This isn?t to say that women can?t learn(by necessity)to assist in her mate's well-being, it's just not what evolution has programmed her for ? it requires effort on her part.
I suspect this is because women's solipsistic nature excludes them from empathizing with a male experience ? and this extends to men?s legitimate pain/hardships. The idea that a man, the man her body bet its genetic inheritance on for protection and provisioning, could be so incapacitated/downtrodden that
shewould have to provide
himwith protection and provisioning, runs so opposite of the feminine imperative, that the feminine psyche evolved psychological defenses("men are just big babies when it comes to pain!")against even considering the possibility of it. Thus, due to species-beneficial mating habits, women fundamentally lack the capacity to
empathizewith the male experience, and male pain/suffering.
What is this? What the fuck are you hypothesizing? "If women are granted the authority"... really? This is textbook MRA paranoia. "Them wimmins gon' take over and us men gon' be empty shells. Empty shells, hear?"
I realize how paranoid some of it comes off as, but sometimes paranoia simply means you have all the facts.
The mass feminization of western culture we know now is far more a result of men's complicitness. Your Dad, my Dad, in some cases our Grandfathers, have all contributed to this, either implicitly or complicitly.
Far more males will vehemently rise to defend the "victimized" woman, or decree how "privileged" males are, without so much as a critical thought as to what?s been said. These men
thinklike women. The content doesn't matter, only the context. And if that criticism sounds even remotely disparaging of their ego investments, it's met with a throng of protest, such a well taught and conditioned shaming response, that even a
womanwith an opposing viewpoint becomes secondary to their need to prove amongst themselves who's the more acceptable to the feminine norm. You saw examples of this earlier in the thread with Khalid and Iannis' responses. Males have become assimilated by this feminization and are now more emphatic and effective feminists than the original founders of feminism could've ever hoped for.
Guess what, darling?Just as guys will be guys and say guy shit that doesn't help us overcome gender inequality, girls will be girls and do the same thing. Are you pretending girl shit (not feminist by any stretch of the imagination, by the way) somehow has greater power to dictate societal norms thateveryonehas to follow?Really?Check again who has the money and power and get back to me on that one.
The Freudian slips that sneak into your responses don't go unnoticed, I assure you. But, I do enjoy how you cherry picked, then attempted to create a strawman out of it. I wasn't referring to dating websites. Men asking women for dating advice is so pants on head retarded that I won't even go over it, but I was referring to your typical blogs, Facebook posts, forums posts, etc. Anytime something related to a relationship comes up, women typically attempt to claim that they are the sole authority on the subject.
Now, there is an interesting subset of men that has evolved in our feminized social environment over the past 30+ years. I won't quite refer to them as betas, since that seems too broad, these men are something belonging to that set, but actively embracing and advocating for the feminine imperative. Men who are so invested in the conditioning of the feminine imperative that, unaware of how it affects their own interests as men, actively collaborate with and promote the feminine imperative's social reengineering of masculinity.
They are the advocates of gender realignment, the male feminists, the men whose perspective it is that a more "equal" society is one in which masculinity is redefined to better convenience the feminine imperative. These are the men who emphatically define "healthy masculinity" in a feminine framework where the results of testosterone and all of the innate traits that make one male are character flaws that disturb a feminine defined "equality".
For the most part, these males are more or less oblivious to the feminine imperative that's conditioned them. Whether this is a willful denial or simple indifferent ignorance is debatable, but in either case, these men take the identification of beta to the logical extreme. In a world of White Knights, to seem unique requires a greater devotion to the feminine imperative.
