It’s your fault you dread your 9 to 5, your asshole boss, and the cattiness of human resources.

It’s your fault you drink every weekend as a salve for the work week’s wounds.

It’s your fault you’re so poor that a blown head gasket would spell disaster.

It’s your fault you graze on Facebook and wish more people liked you; that your life had more excitement.

It’s your fault your friends don’t call you because you only talk to them when you need something.

It’s your fault you spend 20 hours a week sedated by technology, waiting for something more.

It’s your fault you feel content watching hours of television instead of imbibing the wisdom of men wiser than you.

It’s your fault you’ve become complacent and can only dream of adventure.

It’s your fault your insecurities leave you paralyzed when opening up to a new situation.

It’s your fault you’re so irrationally afraid of failure that you sacrifice your happiness for stability.

It’s your fault your focus is spread so thin that you rarely accomplish any task you set out to do without interruption.

It’s your fault you lack discipline and slide back to the bottom after barely making a start.

It’s your fault you spend hours planning and over-thinking instead of taking action.

It’s your fault you tell yourself day in and day out that you can’t.

When everything is your fault, beauty lies in the ability to change for a better tomorrow.

  2. At least it’s not my fault that I am supporting a liberated woman. lollzlolz I was at an outdoor event recently. A woman dropped her spending ticket (money buys tickets buys food/beer). I did not chase her to help. I only pointed to where it was ’cause she figured out she had dropped a ticket. My impulse (not instinct gents) was to pick up the ticket for her, but I fought it and did not. I just stood there proud of myself. She bent over at my feet. Loved it. I noticed some other past prime women watching me with a smile and interest after that. Female instincts are so contrary to culture and society.

      2. lol Not like that…she used her knees and was sideways to me. Had marriage hardware, probably there with family. That kind of event.

      1. He kindly pointed out the location of her lost ticket. To pick it up for her would have been to imply her helplessness, an act of internalized, patriarchal sexism.
        Blimey, this redistribution of social wealth is trickier than you thought.

    3. Does everything have to result in a quip about how men are better than white knights and women?
      This piece is about YOU about personal accountability. Not purposely avoiding acts of kindness just to spite women.

      1. P { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }
        Holding others accountable IS me being
        accountable to my male popular sovereignty. We get the government and
        the culture We deserve. NO MORE WE!!! I have standards of behavior. I
        take MY patriarchal duties and potential and necessity seriously. Do
        you take yourself seriously as a man or a beast of burden to make all
        well? My values made that pleasant day at the fair possible, not
        hers. She is an animal, a clever one, but feral and not cultural all
        the same. A civilized man must be coldly calculating and harness his
        emotions selectively. The brilliance is in the system, and you can’t
        simply take all the responsibility in a democracy and make it work.
        There will be no more civilization until women are put in their
        place, and many will be living junk to be allowed to parish, dames hardened on cock carousel imprinting
        and liberated rationalizing. The woman’s place is beneath me. Or
        should I say BeLOW me?
        But she better bring the fucking value! No family value, not commitment! No patrarchal family, no culture.
        What you don’t understand is that women
        will be happy and fulfilled only when we put them in their place and
        have them struggle a bit to meet our approval and enjoy our
        management of their welfares. They were bored to tears in the 1950s. Maybe Roosh and McQueen can better
        educate the other writers here to know what they are talking about,
        or to say I’m wrong if I am, but I’m not. I will not be a chump any
        more. I feel a white knightness in the force in these parts. As Ayn Rand
        suggested, instead of carrying the world on your shoulders, shrug.
        That was one brilliant and wise woman. I don’t say that often. I
        don’t care what her personal life was, as an ad (wo-)hominem attack
        might highlight. I can only assume she had trouble relating to
        inferiors based on the difficulties I have had and, in fact, that we
        have had, which is the whole damn raison d’etre of this ‘Sphere. Do
        you not see the future we must win to survive as men, or at all? It’s your fault yoyu don’t see. I appreciate your work and see the glass as half full, but it’s still your fault. You apparently don’t deal with women enough to know how bad the truth really is. Do the field work! RTFM will not work!

  5. You know, it’s kind of satisfying to read this list and realise how personally accountable I’ve become. Constant improvement is the only way.

  6. In an age where people demand millions after spilling hot
    coffee in their lap, relentless female underachievement in STEM fields is
    blamed on patriarchal injustices and the obese bleat about thin privilege with
    a mouthful of mac & cheese, refusing to stick responsibility onto anyone but
    the man in the mirror when something bad happens is the easiest way to be
    better than 90% of the people drawing breath on American soil.
    It’s your fault.

    1. The lady who had coffee spilled (the worker carelesly dropped it) in her lap at the McDonalds drive through was in her 70s. The coffee was 2 degrees below boiling and she sustained third degree burns to her inner thighs. She demanded $60,000 to pay medical bills.

      1. You should see the photos of the burns she received. No amount of money is worth that. Stop picking on the McDonald’s coffee burn lady. She got seriously fucked up by that coffee. It was WAY too hot and burned her flesh away.

        1. You’re missing the point. You’re talking about ONE… and we’re talking about a n ENTIRE SOCIETY of people totally unwilling to accept *PERSONAL RESPONSIBILTY* for their own actions and terrible choices.
          Have you ever – even in conversation – ever remotely alluded to the fact that a female should accept responsibility?? Ho BOY! A more pathetic display of tears, denial, rationalization and BLAME you will never see matched.
          Blame blame blame. But you really don’t NEED blame when there is such a thing as *PERSONAL RESPONSIBILTY*.
          Here’s the difference for those who don’t get it:
          I leave my iPod in plain view on the dash of my car. A thief smashes the glass and steals it. As a MAN… I understand the concept of *PERSONAL RESPONSIBILTY*.
          The first thought in my head is not “TEACH MEN NOT TO STEAL!!!”… my first thought it —>> how could I be so STUPID!! The situation was totally avoidable by ME. I accept personal responsibility and MAKE it 100% my fault . Because that’s exactly what it is.
          Now try and explain *PERSONAL RESPONSIBILTY* to a woman…. and she will think you’re being cruel. She takes the stance of “victim” AT EVERY AVAILABLE OPPORTUNITY.
          Blame. Blame. Blame.
          That’s a woman’s game.
          But the first rule of leadership is
          ——>> EVERYTHING is YOUR fault.
          This is why women make terrible leaders.

        2. Maybe the coffee lady was a bad example, but, yeah I agree with Tom in that we’re talking about this on a macro level.
          So, if I’m buying a new computer and a random employee snaps for no reason, firing the blad of a ballistic knife through my heart, I’m not suing Apple or Microsoft or whatever. It’s my fault.
          It’s my fault in the sense that:
          1) I’m an adult
          2) I know there are sociopaths among us.
          3) I know that leaving the house is going to increase the chances of running into one of these sociopaths 100 fold.
          4) But, I still choose to walk down to the computer shop.
          Now, of course I don’t mean this in a completly literal sense. Victims of random acts of violence deserve sympathy. Of course it’s not totally their fault. All I’m saying is, whenever anything goes wrong there are two lists to think about. The list of things they could have done differently and the list of things you could have done differently. Give more time and thought to your list and you”re way ahead of the game.
          That’s all I’m saying.

        3. The woman from Nigeria got her arm chopped off by some crazy street vendor, she got 82,000 naira in compensation and a mobility camel

  9. One thing that was conspicuous by its absence was the lack if accountability of men in bad relationships. A man hands over the power, the woman doesn’t really want it and abuses it and stops seeing her man as the same one she first met. And the man’s lack of self-esteem means he is either too scared or too complacent to stand up for himself. A woman is hard-wired and acts off emotion and not instinct. It’s not her fault she acts the way she does. But if it is bringing your life down and you choose to do nothing to make your life good again – it’s your fault.

  12. Personal responsibility is a nice concept and all that, and ideally this all would be the truth. But we live in a system designed to crush and subjugate as many people as possible. I don’t pretend that living and growing in a world like that has no effect on someone. As a matter of fact it has quite a measurable and heavy effect. “Pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is easier said than done for a reason. And if a reason is strong enough, it becomes a valid excuse. No one manages to do all the things they want, even the best of us. Any one of us can always do more.

    1. If society has that toxic of effect on one’s well being there is always a way out.The extent to which one can change their circumstances relies on what they’re willing to sacrifice.

  24. My mom said that to me long time ago an it has been a relief, now I only manage one person.
