The contradictions and deleterious effects of feminism are well documented—not just in the manosphere but beyond. What the growing backlash against feminism fails to acknowledge are seemingly trivial and ancillary forces that do more damage than they let on.
The most powerful among those factors is you-go-girlism—the empowerment ethos that tells women, at every turn, that they can not only do anything a man can do, but also all of the things women used to do. Women and girls are the smarter, more capable, and generally “better” than men. Girls are encouraged to do things that are traditionally masculine—like manly professions and sports—and are given a pass on negative behaviors, from sexual promiscuity to weight gain to physically attacking men, all with the same trite cheer, “You go girl!”
For the undiscerning mind, there’s little risk in encouraging women to be all they can be. What harm could encouraging women and girls to do whatever they want and feel good about who they are bring? The far-reaching problems arise with the unintended consequences of telling an entire generation of women a series of pretty lies. Because it feels good, you think it’ll get you in her pants, or because wouldn’t-it-be-nice. Both men and women are complicitous in the out of control spiral of you-go-girlism that ends up being more harmful—by virtue of its ubiquity and insidiousness—than feminism.
A much bigger number of women (and frankly men), I’d venture to say, parrot you-go-girlism platitudes that outdo ideologically feminist talking points. They aren’t necessarily the same thing. You-go-girlism is rooted, at least in part, in the female impulse—probably genetically programmed—to test boundaries and check for male weakness. This instinct is considerably older than feminist doctrine. It’s safe to say that women have been testing the boundaries of the male domain since the dawn of time, and attempting to wrest authority from men they perceive as weak for equally as long.
At the same time, you didn’t hear the absurd anything-you-can-do-I-can-do-better claims, to the degree that we do today, until the advent of second-wave feminism. You-go-girlism, in other words, is in a chicken-and-egg relationship with feminism. It’s either one of its original cradles (and on-going critical nutrient) or, alternatively, plain-and-simple feminism masquerading as harmless “positivity.” In either case, you-go-girlism is a more palatable—but therefore more toxic—ideology.
You-go-girlism is ultimately grounded in a resolute, reactionary defiance to do anything women were prohibited from doing in the past—irrespective of why those prohibitions were in place, whether they were real or imagined, and with an irrational dismissal of the differences between the sexes. Women’s sexuality was once policed (and promiscuity shamed), therefore women should (and increasingly do) have no-consequences sex. The differences between male and female sexual imperatives, on the deep genetic level, are inconsequential. Women were once prohibited from playing male sports, therefore they should be permitted to do so. The differences between male and female physiques and abilities are “socially constructed.” A tiny minority of women is physically abused by men, therefore women should get off scot-free when they do “the same thing” to men. The fact that women, in fact, hit men more often (and can manipulate and abuse men in an array of non-violent ways) is irrelevant.
According to you-go-girlism, men and women aren’t just the same, women are—in fact—better if given the chance. You-go-girlism takes female moral superiority for granted: a woman’s actions are justified by the faulty premise that women aren’t ever violent, never lie, and generally mean no harm. “If women ruled the world,” the saying goes, “there would be no wars.”
It would be bad enough if things ended there, but they don’t. You-go-girlism also fuels a dangerous cycle of delusional over-confidence. Regrettably, it’s gotten to be that women (and brainwashed, effeminate men to an increasing degree) actually believe the constellation of ego-boosting lies a combination of marketers, bemused men, and deluded feminists have been feeding them for a generation. Movies and video games with “strong” female leads doing the impossible are legion, and may seem innocuous, but they feed a mythology that girls can fight, run, and intimidate like men. When the delusion (e.g., women allowed to serve in military combat) meets reality (e.g., actual combat), the whole illusion breaks down. When girls, to an increasing degree, feel “empowered” to go face-to-face with men in bars and clubs, you know that the delusion has had a real effect. (We all know, of course, that the implicit knowledge that a room full of bouncers and white-knights are ready to come to her defense is part of her intricate calculus.)
You-go-girlism also disincentivizes self-improvement. It may feel good to tell women that they’re all beautiful, no matter how they look—or how fat they are—but that’s simply not true, by any measure. Beauty, contrary to popular belief, is not in the eye of the beholder and, like anything thing else worthwhile, requires work. But, if you think you already “look good” 20 pounds overweight or in pajama pants, why make an effort?
The result: a generation of overconfident, loud, entitled fat girls with fattitude. Regrettably, women aren’t the only ones who have started to believe the myth. A generation of emasculated young men and boys—hypnotized by movies and video games depicting unrealistic portrayals of women—have come to believe the myth that women aren’t only their equals, but their superiors. Female superheroes and action stars may seem fun–or even plausible–but they feed an alternative reality infinitely more dangerous that the “sexualized” images of women that feminists would have you believe are harming the female psyche.
The manosphere spills a lot of ink over feminism, and rightfully so. But to forcefully and, more importantly, effectively reverse its damage, we have to push back against its coded manifestations. Your average girl on the street isn’t shouting about “rape culture,” but she is screaming “you go girl!” to her friends.

Women can do anything…except make a decision by themselves.
Seriously I saw a mother ask her 3 year old son where they wanted to go after they were done at the place I was at.
Women can do anything…except make a decision by themselves.
Seriously I saw a mother ask her 3 year old son where they wanted to go after they were done at the place I was at.
She was encouraging him to express himself. Parents help their children learn to talk by engaging them in conversations and soliciting their opinions. Seriously.
Kids express themselves through toys and playing…not deciding where mom should go.
But according to Erik Erikson’s developmental theory of autonomy, you are supposed to give choices to toddlers to fuel independence and self-confidence. You don’t necessarily HAVE to do what they want, but you can ask them to fuel choice and decision-making.
LOL and you wonder why we dont think you are fit to lead ? LMFAO !
Lmao. Have seen this multiple times before and it’s truly hysterical. The blind leading the blind. Don’t ASK a child; TELL them.
http://youtu.be/bLJcwq7Nuoc makes me think of this song
I’m not sure it’s a matter of making a decision by themselves as much as a matter of having to be fully accountable for the decision they made.
That’s why it is never by themselves. If it goes wrong…blame the other thing for causing it. If it goes right…it was all her idea.
And by extension that is what politics has become.
Lucky kid. Sounds like she’s training an alpha to me.
Or maybe the mother actually wanted to know where her son wanted to go…. You guys need to look at more than one incredibly crappy perspective and maybe you’ll understand these situations.
A mom respecting her child’s opinion? Wow, that shows a true lack of leadership and decision making.
It’s a parenting technique that you employ with toddlers. You give them choices (that are acceptable with you) to give them the FEELING that they are in control of their lives. It helps them build decision-making skills within acceptable boundaries.
Please never have a child if you can’t teach them to learn decision-making skills.
It’s called being considerate you absolute fucktard
This goes hand-in-hand with the ubiquity of social media. A girl literally has to do nothing to get her grrrrl-power fix than to post a picture of herself, or relay some otherwise meaningless accomplishment. The only proper response is to ignore, ignore, ignore; and of course, laugh at the man-boobs, white knights and enablers.
Indeed. Don’t hand out praise or emotional cookies for every little thing a woman does. In my experience this actually causes them to secretly lose respect for you, even if on the surface they claim to like “sensitive guys”.

-“It may feel good to tell women that they’re all beautiful, no matter how they look—or how fat they are—but that’s simply not true, by any measure. ”
I agree. When chicks talk like that I inform them that unless you are gay, your opinion of the kind of women I should want to fuck matters none. Fat girls do not produce an erection for me. Nothing will change that.
Funny about this, is let one of these fat ugly women steal their friends man away from the parrots that regurgitate that non judgmental bullshit, and listen to the slut shaming rage that comes out. Or she assumes the man pursued her friend like he did her. Which is often false. Men take the path of least resistance… some women make it to easy when they like you.
Not only that, but disagreeing with the collective regulates the conversation down to one of “you must not get laid”. And hearing this from women that want to be viewed more than just cum dumpsters, is kind of sad because I personally want or try to see them as more then that.
You go girl ism is the modern feminism. They are not different from each other
I’ve actually met a woman who claimed feminism is about gender equality, then went on to say the exact “we’d all be better off if the world was run by women” bit. She didn’t feel any sense of irony or hypocrisy. This is why you can’t take them at their word.
Too many guys assume good faith from feminists where there isn’t any. Just because they SAY it’s about equality doesn’t make it so. Just
because they CLAIM they’re not hateful doesn’t mean you believe them. Their actions make it pretty obvious that “equality” rhetoric is really just a cover, while underneath they’re actually driven by resentment, adversarialism, if not outright hatred.
replace “feminist” with “black person” and your comment is equally valid
A lot of feminists might be more sincere, and less hypocritical, than you think- stupid, yes, but sincere. Modern, caucasian feminists give a good test of this… I don’t claim to truly understand them, really, but I’ve been observing one closely recently, observing her descent into avid feminist, and I saw her “sincerity” test passed. The sincerity test is, does she apply her doctrine equally to herself when she is the “oppressor” and the “privileged” one in her worldview as she applies to men daily?
… To put this in context, this friend of mine recently transformed from kind-of feminist (a few feminist ideas in academic settings, but mostly a grounded human being in everyday life) to intolerably feminist, for example, starting a women’s anthropology student group to have a “safe space” for women to talk about “women’s issues” in anthropology without men there making women too uncomfortable to talk freely- uncomfortable due to invisible pressures cause by “power imbalances” and “male privilege” that are unavoidably present when men are present, you see (the hilarious irony is that there are almost no male anthropology students, anyway! Her undergrad graduating class picture had one guy, and about twenty-five women. So, it’s like the entire body of anthropology students minus two to five people; that irony was lost on her).
I’ve witnessed her telling white men that they couldn’t argue with her because they’re “privileged”, making them blind, which means they cannot argue with the experience of the oppressed. It sounded like a self-serving response designed to avoid having to provide evidence to argue precious beliefs. So, I assumed her insincere.
But…
She’s small-framed, thin, naturally blonde (rare thing, the natural thing) and attractive- she doesn’t try to be attractive, dressing like a hipster and dying her hair funny colors, but she has attractive genes on her side. People have pulled the same shit on her recently that she pulls on men, talking of “white privilege” and “thin privilege”. Some fatter women called thin women unhealthy and unwomanly and unsexy, which upset her a lot, but THEN she backpedaled, and accepted that their insults are okay because the fat women mean well, as they are trying to empower themselves in a society that “privileges” thin people. The same thing applies when she’s dealing with non-white people; she apologizes for herself and absolves those putting her down and treating her like she would never treat them (being white people invented science and comprise the majority of most wealthy countries, and men find thin women sexier, you see).
In conclusion, she’s sincere- she attacks men, white people, thin women, … every group feminists attack- whether she’s a part of said group or not- and she accepts insults when she’s part of the “privileged” group, like she gives them when she’s not.
She also claims she’s for equality. She just has her own idea of what that means. I think she’s sincere. She might even be internally consistent, you just have to get into their crazy heads and pretend certain beliefs are TRUE, no matter the evidence. I haven’t thought about it enough to know if they’re internally consistent, even if they look like lying, opportunistic scum from the outside, sometimes.
And freedom is the key to defeating people like her. Because market forces, and normal human behaviours, including most women’s, are not feminist.
I remember reading in Introductory Psyhology studies of conformity that even one dissenting person can change the dynamic of a group. Free speech has consequences.
On the other hand there is wisdom in the opposite viewpoint: that it was silly notions of ‘freedom’ that led to such drivel being accepted, that it was not meant for most people and that they are incapable and undeserving of it.
As much as that pains me to say.
Your friend simply sounds like just another run of the mill devotee of the egalitarian religion- and religion does numb the rational mind. As such, I learned a while back that those people cannot be reasoned with, as your own comment makes quite clear.
What you call sincerity, I call mental illness. She sounds like a completely typical SWPL college bitch, coasting through on daddy’s dime, oblivious to the ironies. Self-promoting and self-hating simultaneously. Liberalism really is a mental disease.
Sorry to say this, but…
Your friend went full retard. Take care to not be influenced and went full retard as well.
Man, sometimes I think the world turned crazy. And then I read about these cases…
Yeah, as if YOU guys believe in equality either…so many contradictions in this article.
It’s true, if women ruled the world, there would be no wars, there would be only one. Guys will strategize, rationalize, fight and hold grudges for a long time. Chicks have short implosions of pure emotion. Women absolutely do not have the fortitude and dedication to fight a war.
What there would be is a very short nuclear holocaust after “that Russian Prime Minister bitch was talking shit” and the resulting cat fight outburst destroyed the world.
remember what that cunt margaret thatcher did in the faulklands. a massacre pure and simple. freudian penis envy at work.
And that’s nothing compared to what Godzillary would do if elected.
falklands was british for a long time and also full of oil…..argentines invaded unprovoked….. margaret thatcher was a great leader and one of those strange women that actually has male capabilities… there is one like that every 100 years…. doesn’t mean anything….
Well, Thatcher certainly seemed to have male capabilities considering the namby pambys in the Labour Party.
Idiot . History lesson required
No one could possibly be more dangerous in power than Trump. The issue isn’t men vs women, its that Americans are just so incredibly dumb…(your friendly neighbourhood Canadian speaking)
“A generation of emasculated young men and boys—hypnotized by movies and
video games depicting unrealistic portrayals of women—have come to
believe the myth that women aren’t only their equals, but their
superiors.”
Now the propaganda is getting deliberate:
“In “SheZow,” a 12-year-old boy — named Guy — uses a magic ring to
transform himself into a legendary crime fighter. When evil lurks, Guy
says, “You go girl!” and becomes SheZow.”

You have to ask yourself why they keep pushing this meme, this absurd idea that in order to gain the power, prestige, conviction and anything else associated with the masculine, you have to become a woman.
It seems to be a large scale disinformation campaign, something akin to telling kids to avoid fresh vegetables and eat lots of processed sugar if they want to be thin, healthy and free of diabetes.
“You have to ask yourself why they keep pushing this meme” – It all relates back to the spread of communist ideology. This is the underpinning of feminism, anti-racism, gay rights, etc.
The idea is to deliberately erase all delineation between man and woman, white and black, weak and strong, smart and dumb, gay and straight.
To the communists, we are all just “workers”, no matter our individual demographics.
If kids grow up believing the lie that “we are all the same”, then they readily accept the communist game plan of reducing us all to cogs in the statist machinery.
The commies are coming, the commies are coming. Hide under the desks when the bomb drops. Commies are putting fluoride in our water, brainwashing our children…
Come on, that shit died out in the 60’s.
You must have been under a rock since ’69. the shit has gained full mainstream traction since then. it’s stronger than ever before.
yeah communism died in the 60s, that’s why the Obammunist was elected twice on the basis of free gibsmedats!
The Commies, ohhh god, the commies. Run for the hills.
keep believing the lies. Communism in its core ideals is stronger than ever. It’s just re-branded as progressiveism, multiculturalism and globalization. Obviously you cant see past the semantics yet you feel empowered by your ignorance. Makes you wonder why you are even here.
The irony about fat chicks is they STILL will hold men to ridiculous standards but demand YOU accept all their faults
Yep, fat girls have standards too, probably no more or less “ridiculous” than your own.
If fat chicks have standards, they should apply those standards to themselves first and foremost. But then, they wouldn’t be fat chicks.
http://mattforney.com/fat-girls-dont-deserve-loved/ i mean if you can find me an equivalent article written by a fat girl. Yeah overweight women may be unattracted to people who share the same body shape as them, but jesus i dont see many of them listing why they dont deserve to be loved.
I doubt my standards are more ridiculous than yours overweight, ugly, loud feminist. but feel free to post your picture. Always can you a good laugh. Thanks.
Why don’t you post your own picture? Somehow I doubt an attractive man is calling women fat over the internet, not to mention trolling pick up artist websites. I found this site through a link someone showed me on Facebook as a joke, and I have to say its repulsive. You know you’re not getting any pussy when you’re trolling sites like this for advice. Having sex with attractive women is not complicated…
Physical attractiveness is just one (not very important) criterion that women apply in their selection process. Money, fame and salesmanship are far more reliable indicators of an in-demand male.
As for the rest of your comment, what do you think is repulsive about this site ? If you find it out of line that men make such comments about women, I’m sure there is no shortage of sites where women make all sorts of disparaging comments about men. In general, it’s more accepted to put down men, which is one of the factors fueling the popularity of sites like this.
The fact that you failed to add sense of humour, intelligence, or just being a good person on your list of what women care about in men is probably why you’re having so much trouble getting any women. It’s painfully obvious you just don’t understand them.
Who’s having trouble ? Looks like you’re having trouble with ad hominem distractions
…..says the fat chick
Men aren’t carrying around a 78-point list of mandates while accepting our partner to “accept me how I am.”
Off this site, count. You butt hurt? Must be a fatty!
lol…let’s see what you look like…that comment suggests you have a tiny cock
True – they just think it’s okay to use deceit and only take headshot selfies to post on online dating sites. Now the REAL intrepid types will take one of head and boobs since some cows do in fact have large boobs and the stomach rolls won’t be visible just yet.
What they all fail to realize is, we still check if their collarbones are present or how round/unchiseled their face is. 😉
You must be another porker.
also gotta love when fat chicks talk shit about other girls being fat/ugly/not looking good, even when they are 2X the size of the chick they’re talking shit about
very true. we should make a habit of yelling “treadmill” or “fat ass” to fat women we see outside our cars.
seriously.
I’ve noticed way less fat women around cars ever since Pontiac went out of business
Oh yes because this isn’t abusive at all.
you’re a miserable piece of shit, aren’t you?
FAT ASS!!!
That isnt how you spell “Allowed” dipshit
That, my friend is very true.
Who cares about fat chicks. For someone so large…they are invisible to me.
Pretty much. Except for when they’re blocking the aisle.
Or the sun.
like dark matter. don’t notice them but you can tell by their gravitational pull.
this website once published an article titled “why fat girls dont deserve to be loved” and it was written by matt forney who’s a fat fuck, yet i dont recall many people calling out the irony there
I think Roosh was right when he said we have passed peak feminism (at least in the Uk). You go-girrrlism is also in decline.
The women of today have less opportunities than in the past, due to decreased funding and the damage incurred by previous generations of feminism.
Whilst this should make me happy, it doesn’t really. I spent three years abroad and returned to the police state in full blown operation. Feminism has served its purpose in breaking up the family unit and removing masculine figures; hence, it is in decline as it is no longer needed by those in power. Now women and men are for the most part enslaved to their paymasters. Thanks girls.
I wish you were right, but all the data says otherwise. Women are surpassing men in all levels of education, employment, and even earning power, all throughout the western world. This is due primarily to the affirmative action and cultural marxism that has falsely elevated women above men. It shows absolutely no signs of letting up.
The system wants women to be in charge of the purse strings, because women are flighty, emotional, irrational, materialist, consumers. They do not save money, they spend it on any shiny bauble flashed before them.
Expend the current trends to continue, as society and government presses it’s thumb down on the female side of the scale, ensuring that the deck will always be stacked against men.
We must realize this, and then hold our boots on their necks. Never become complacent.
women will tend to surpass men when education and careers involve nit picking, social manipulation, ass licking, back stabbing, flirting, and generally being subservient to socialist / communist agendas.
men will excel in libertarian realms like the wild west, where there is a level playing field and only the strongest and smartest survive.
Firstly, I think at least in the UK, most young guys know that women put out for even unemployed guys (at least they do over here, for with public welfare, free university in the past and free healthcare); everything is provided, so even if a guy is useless, women oftentimes pick that guy. As a result, many guys forego being productive or self-responsible in any form. It is not like the US where women more often care about success and pay packet. Even educated people in the UK are oftentimes infantilised compared to countries such as Singapore, Germany and even the US, where I’ve found that life is harder and that US citizens (and men) have been forced to increase their skillsets and intellect to match the demands of the environment. Overall, socialism here has led to a lot of people needing nannying; most women here are not adults in the head and they seek out their counterparts who have no incentive to provide for either themselves or the women involved.
Also, if I’m being honest, I gotta say that women have introduced many negative social aspects such as passive aggression into being a doctor. This has proved detrimental for men and eventually men have had to adopt the same socializations to survive. As a result, I do think 10 years on that men and women are equally productive in this field, but now the number of productive individuals is low. Feminism in its previous form has destroyed the productive character of both men and women.
Agreed. I don’t know if you’ve looked at job ads lately, but almost all of them that pay anything require all those femi-communist skills: teamwork, social savvy, political maneuvering, etc. It’s not a man’s world any more out there in corporate America.
I started really noticing this when I watched the UK tv show “The Dragon’s Den”. Then compare that to the US version of the same show, “The Shark Tank”. The British entrepreneurs are just so weak – their ideas are lame, their presentations are weak, their confidence seems very low, they have no charisma or public speaking skills. By contrast, the American entrepreneurs mostly come off as real go-getters, full of enthusiasm, charisma, with good ideas, etc.
After seeing that I fully understand two things: tough environments build better men, and the USA kicks ass in business because of the hardships we have to overcome in order to get anywhere, and the intense competition.
Life is tough for many in the US even though it is the richest country (though not GDP/person). I’m not saying you are wrong, but do you really think the lack of a generous safety net is what really spurs on entrepreneurs there?
To me it seems it would seem the stronger love of $ and materialism and the celebration of those who are wealthy as the mark of success (also its a competitive market) I don’t know if that many rise from the gutter.
Chinese are quite materialistic & like to show off their wealth. There is an entrepreneurial class there, that will be intreresting to see how far they expand into being innovators in the future.
I can’t even begin to unravel the total and obvious idiocy in this comment. You’ve been inbred this way and there’s no going back.
It’s funny that not one heroine will ever compare to an Austrian with wooded acting and a bad accent in terms of greatness in the Action-genre.
Check out Manlymovie.net, read through it the other night and found some great tips about real action-movies.
Dude you are one of the best authors on this blog, you get it and write fucking well
agreed.
“If women ruled the world,” the saying goes, “there would be no wars.”
the uneducated CUNTS who parrot this nonsense should be given a 5 minute history lesson about Elizabeth I of UK, margaret thatcher of the same, and many others. not to mention the warmongering former “First Cunt” and likely future “Cunt-in-Chief” HELL-ary clinton.
this is typical feminist solipsism. it would be funny if it weren’t so dangerous.
Don’t forget Indian prime minister Indira Gandhi who was in charge of the massacre of Sikhs and desecration of the Golden Temple
I’d start a war with you over your use of that incredibly demeaning and disgusting word alone. Idiot.
Nothing is better than turning a fat chick down at a bar and having her try to convince everyone there that you would be lucky to have a chance with her. No I’m lucky I’m not drunk enough to get suffocated by a hippopotamus.
“A tiny minority of women is physically abused by men, therefore women should get off scot-free when they do “the same thing” to men. The fact that women, in fact, hit men more often (and can manipulate and abuse men in an array of non-violent ways) is irrelevant.”
No real man ever gets hit by his woman. If he does, he leaves her ass. Men aren’t like women, whose mushy minds can be manipulated by an alpha male in what is sometimes a tragic way.
No real man, yes, but sadly most men are not “real” anymore.
You’d run away if your woman gave you a slap in a momentary burst of feminine emotion? Give her a REAL smack in return and you’ll never have that problem again & she’ll respect you all the more.
That is called domestic violence.
SERIOUSLY Feminism is ENABLED by WEAK ASS men.
that’s the fucking truth, stop worrying about women and what they do. stop bitching about them they adapt to the environment, WHO makes the environment? MEN.
Start attacking PUSSY ASS american men, stop attacking women.
They just want to be dominated by strong men, and be by their sides and love them, since they can’t get this they turn to feminism, turn to other behavior, because Weak ass american men accept this.
how about stoning, beating them with a sitck, or simply STOP GIVING THEM ATTENTION!! attack the fucking WEAK enablers and white knights.These MEN are worthy of being ridiculed and attacked not women, women don’t make societies MEN do.
There are some countries that the stigma of being with a gringo is strong, In these countries getting a HOT upper class girl is ALOT harder. Why you ask? because men in these countries said so.
yes, it’s true… women take over when they can disrespect men, and they can only do that when men are too weak to seduce them and pacify them with cock.
Fuck you, I’ll attack both if I want to.
it seems youve noticed a correlation here- the amount of shitty treatment women are willing to put up with is affected by how patriarchal the society they live in is. Hmmmm maybe if treating women like shit and denying them basic human rights leads them to have a low self esteem and only think theyre worth being dominated. Who makes the environment? ah yes men, theyve done such a stand up job! It’s definitely logical to conclude that the fact that the general intellectual proggression of human society naturally led to female emancipation- because youd have to be pretty fucking thick to value animalistic urges over the fact that women are sentient beings, who arent homogenous and like different things. Men make societies? I mean if i win a race because i punch my opponent in the balls, is it fair for me to claim that only i could ever haev won that race? I mean its quite messed up that male societies have all had one thing in common- treating literally half of the population as subhuman because they arent as physically strong. It ignores the fucking fact that women risk their very lives to give birth. It is sad that man has been in charge for so long, because it works on the assumption that physical strength is more important than anything else. That is just animalistic. Furthermore, its not like centuries of male domination has lead to us fucking wrecking the very planet we live on? The fact that you think centuries of enslavement of a sentient and intelligent group of people because they arent as physically strong was a good thing, shows why,as the general population has become more intelligent- women have had more freedoms. I cant imagine how thick you must be to genuinely think its okay to think that about a group of people because they are less strong. Surely strength is secondary to intellect in determining how good someone would be at making decisions for society? Yet, for whatever reason that is what men have always prioritised.
It’s really not that big of a deal I’m metrosexual
Another excellent piece, Tuth.
“You-go-girlism also disincentivizes self-improvement.”
So true. Nobody on a pedestal has any drive to develop their character. If our society is even remotely anti woman, the pedestal is surely why.
Putting women on a pedestal is Anti-woman.
The only time I’ll say, “You go girl” to a chick without a hint of irony is when I’m leading her to the abortion clinic.
Where is the call for equal rights in the mining, construction and oil business ?
Women in combat fine… after they’ve done a year on an artic oil rig or remote desert gold mine.
Who builds all the roads, bridges, houses, offices, schools, hospitals, tunnels, dams etc. etc.
When was the last time you saw a women on a road works project ?
Military combat is glamorous, repairing the 405, not so much….
In Mexico City, I’ve seen just as many women as men on construction sites working.
Right, and Mexico City is such a shining example of productivity and order, so I can see why you’d choose that as your example.
Who gave birth to and raised these men?
If women ruled the world, we would have nuclear winter in 3 months. Have you ever watch two women fight ? they are simply completely out of control. Imagine nuclear artillery in the hands of a woman.
I agree completely, but I’m not sure why you’re separating Feminism and “You Go Girl.” It is a cultural toxin introduced and perpetuated by Feminism. But I would concede not all people espousing “You Go Girl” would identify as feminists.
Feminism is in the air and the water in our culture. It gets into everything and everybody.
Today, I helped an Orthodox Jewish lady get her car out of a spot after someone had boxed her in. She said “This is something for men to do. Women are no good at it!” It made me feel really good.
Women can’t park cars. They lack the depth perception to do it. I worked as a valet in a casino for five years. Two of those years I spent as a manager. I had to sign off on all the accidents and noticed that women had about triple the rate of accidents that the men did. Most couldn’t drive a standard and none of them could parallel park.
I think your observation might have to do with the location of your job, because a casino is a place where more desperate and maybe less intelligent people flock to (I honestly don’t know, just an idea). And I’d like to counteract your point about women not being able to parallel park by saying I’ve had my license for about two years now and I can parallel park like nobody’s business.
Sucker. She said that shit and got what she wanted.
First of all, douche bag, I was making the point that some women do recognize the value of men and that should be encouraged. This site is nothing but nihilism if there isn’t a point being made about bringing back both masculinity AND femininity. As Ayn Rand pointed out, the essence of the latter is man worship. We are a long fucking way away from that and the world would be a better place if some people made an effort to bring it back.
Second, there is nothing wrong with helping people out. I am a respected person in my neighborhood and walking by someone that I could help wouldn’t do me any favors in that regard.
What would you have done? Walk by. No doubt. Cause you are mad at women because they won’t bang your sorry ass. Makes me wonder if you even like them at all. Are you just here to man worship?
I think you missed the point, douche bag.
Sir, that insult is exceptionally effeminate. You might as well call a dude ‘creepy’. Good insults would be, asswipe, dipshit, numbscull, shithead, jockstrap, helmet, ignoranus. Creativity matters and in this case you maybe be as creative as you wish because I agree with his point. You’ve been had.
Oh, ok. From now on, Ill make sure I follow your example and try to sound like I am a refugee from a Renaissance Faire. Thank you, kind sir.
This is quite simply the best piece of writing That I have ever read on the internet (I’m deadly serious btw). Oz like, you have pulled back the curtain truthmosis. I’m lost for superlatives.
suck, suck, slurp, suck, suck.
In new Zealand, it is impossible for a woman to be accused of rape.
Over there, a boy of 11 has just fathered a child with a 36 year old woman, the mother of his schoolfriend.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2342105/Boy-11-fathers-child-36-year-old-mother-schoolfriend-prompting-calls-reform-New-Zealands-rape-laws.html
You go Grrrrrrrrl
Happens in the U.S as well. They will also order the boy to pay his rapist child support.
This case is nothing to do with feminism but is the result of the legal definition of satutory rape. Seriously, you’re nearly as bad as that dude who thinks a woman asking her child questions demonstrates her indecisiveness.
The Dove Sketches Beauty Scam by The Last Psychiatrist http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2013/05/dove.html
Great article!
I’ve met real life female infantry soldiers. The men in their units held them in high respect. Women, and men need to be treated as INDIVIDUALs. Not equal in every situation. But certainly deserving of equal rights in terms of self ownership, and freedom from aggression. Do away with socialism, and a lot of the problems will evaporate.
My God, you are a patronizing, chauvinistic, overbearing little thing, aren’t you? How about fat guys, huh? Or tattoed from head to toe? 3 week beard? Macho (like you most probably are)? That is sooooo sexy! And they are not at all judgemental of others, only “fat girls” are. You are nobody to attack women because of their weight. Who do you think you are? George Clooney?
And who the hell do you think you are to say women are inferior to men? Perhaps it has escaped your flawless attention, but nowadays warefare is no longer made through contact, i.e, body to body. So physical inferiority, even though it can be annuled by combat tactics, is out of the equation. And anyone can fire a sniper riffle.
I sincerely hope a “fat” girl punches your nose in.
My sister truly believes that if she encounters a bad guy, she can fight him off. I tried to explain to her that she was crazy and to run away if something happens, but she believes she can kick ass.
A tiny minority of women is abused by men? Where, in your apartment? You are way off base, do some very basic research before making absurd claims please
Is it that the majority of women are physically abused by men?
Feminism does NOT promote female superiority. Just equality. That’s the true definition of feminism. It’s not a dirty word, and I think you have misinterpreted it severely. Real feminists do not say women are better than men, but damn, if they read this site, they might. I must say this site is extreme. It’s just as extreme as you believe feminism is, but of course favoring the other gender. I think we all should just focus on moving forward together and supporting each other.
The number of things that are wrong about this article is just too great to express at once. Feminism IS actually about gender equality and has nothing to do with tearing down men. It saddens me that there are men and women out there that are insecure enough to agree with the kind ignorant bullshit expressed by this writer. Feminism is becoming increasingly widespread and socially excepted and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I’m very sorry that women having more power in the world threatens your fragile “masculinity” (masculinity in quotes because real men who are secure don’t need to validate themselves by putting women down and whining over the internet) but whether you like it or not it’s becoming the norm. Get used to it 😉
You men are absolutely pathetic. Your misunderstanding of feminism is UTTERLY HUMILIATING for the rest of the world to see. I cannot begin to believe that you or anyone who ever believes this shit would ever be a good human being. Disgusting.
YOU GO GURL! ONLY MEN ARE EVAR SEXIST! US WOMEN ARE GODLY SAINTS WHO DO NO WRONG!
Amazing. This website is incredible. I was thinking going through the article part by part and pointing out the classic signs of cranks and quackery but I think the hysterical tin-foil hatted screeching of these self-described “masculine” commenters sort of speaks for itself.
All right, actually, I can’t help myself:
– No-one is saying people “should” be sexually promiscuous, just that a woman who wants to be should not be denigrated for it where a man would be praised.
– “well-documented” links to another article on this website. Like with quacks and cranks, that’s a tell-tale warning sign.
– The prosecution imbalance regarding men being sexually abused is, in fact, a consequence of laws defined by men and your own ideas of masculinty (i.e. believing men “can’t” be abused by women), and not the result of feminism or you-go-girlism. The example given in the comments of a 32 year old woman and 11 year old boy is , testament to this; the legal definition of statutory rape only goes in one-direction. These definitions were set by men.
– You’re really using clichés to represent the opposing attitude? Talk about straw man.
– Your evidence vis-a-vis female soldiers in an anecdote, culled from a forum, and the post linked to in particular is a jibe by the author. Is this meant to convince me or…?
– Regards the article in this forum; what’s the general drop-out rate for men in that infantry course? And some basic research techniques here: two is hardly a meaningful sample size.
Whew. I need a cigarette.
You should post stuff like this under your real name so you can get credit for your white knight activities and increase your (I assume already high) chances of getting laid with all the ladies you must impress on a daily basis with your peerless masculinity.
I guess my question is how do you feel women should behave and where should their place in society be?? I just find this article not particularily constructive you know?
About the “Dove Real Beauty” pic;
this is where I disagree with ya’ll-a while ago there was an article of attractive women pics, but they all seemed to be so dang skinny. I’m just personally not attracted to that, though it’s not like I mind it either. I prefer bigger, curvier girls.
The woman second from the right though, no. That’s a no-no. Her stomach goes over her area, that’s what I’d call overweight. I don’t look like that, so I don’t think I’m wrong to ask for better.
You men posting here disgust me. All you can do is criticize, make completely sexist jokes, demean mothers who talk to their kids early and teach them to form an opinion early. Maybe it was his birthday and he could choose what he wanted? Or maybe the mom didn’t want to just stick him with his “toys” and let him express himself “playing”, but maaaaaaaybe she wanted to actually find out how her son thinks and where her son would go if he could choose? Learn his mind and teach him to lead early? Heaven forbid….
And I happen to be one of those girls who put physical health as a priority so you can’t brush me off with the “said the fat chick” and then pat yourself on the back for being so hilarious. Yes, I have an issue with ANYONE who abuses their body by being fat. But I also know that chat threads like this only perpetuate their shame and the eating spiral that goes with it. And I’m not a feminist either. I believe in the differences between men and women should be celebrated, not removed. Women are physically weaker, emotionally more accessible, and equally as intelligent. BUt we have different roles in our time here that should be celebrated.
But what I would really love is for self-indulgent jerks like *most* of the posts below, to take a minute and think about how their manittudes effect society. You’re comments here are not only juvenile, but totally insensitive and cruel. Maybe that’s why women feel they have to be everything today. Because if this is the sampling of what “men” are like. Then I do think women would be better running things.
And as for this author. While I do agree with the underlying sentiment, I think. It was so hard to find the meaningful content underneath his layers of BS.
“A tiny minority of women is physically abused by men, therefore women should get off scot-free when they do “the same thing” to men. The fact that women, in fact, hit men more often (and can manipulate and abuse men in an array of non-violent ways) is irrelevant.”
OH REALLY?! Way to wipe an incredibly traumatic and far from “tiny” percentage of women who are abused. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? And if women are so physically inferior to men, then what are you whining about? You can’t have your cake and eat it too….said the non- fat girl.
You men are pathetic for sitting around your keyboards attacking women. But thank you for making me appreciate my own King and how happy it makes me that I seem to have found one of the last real men on earth. One that can handle an intelligent, strong yet sensitive woman that takes care of her body and his. In every way. 🙂 So happy trolling… boys.

These articles are begging for debates and internet wars. Take a step back and look at yourself typing your one-in-a-million opinion over the internet. Based on the fact that this topic is subjective, the author knows that, although this is how they feel, what they wrote isn’t entirely true. You are all riled up because you either agree with the author’s feelings without fail, or disagree enough to let your soul, which might be on fire, rampage the internet. Opinions are opinions. Happiness is like beauty, which has standards however subjective they may be. However, nobody other than yourself can control how you choose to live by those standards. With that being said, you’re more likely to get girls to like you as a person by telling them they’re attractive, as opposed to negging the shit out of them. Men don’t like being called fat either, because that just sucks. *
*This is my opinion.
This is disgusting. How can you possibly say bullshit like this? I mean, you’re saying women shouldn’t be confident, and yet you have enough ego to WRITE ABOUT WHAT WOMEN SHOULD ACT LIKE? Who the fuck do you think you are? You were raised in a society that thinks your opinion is always right. Well guess what, it’s not. In fact, you’re completely ignorant on these issues. Google this shit before making statements, because you are not a genius. You need to respect women as humans or else your life will be hell. And just wait till you have a fucking daughter, because when she comes and tells you she has an eating disorder because dickbags like you told her how to look and she sees women plastered over media that are PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE to look like, you’re going to regret this “women have so much ego” shit. This isn’t third grade anymore. Grow up.
PS–You’re showing rape culture here. You think you have a claim on women’s bodies and minds. You don’t. Go fuck yourself.
As a young woman who has apparently not been exposed to enough anti-feminist rhetoric, I wanna know: why would female sexual liberation not be seen as progress by men too? IAs long as contraception and precautions are employed, I don’t see anything wrong with mutual orgasms (as for the myth of the distended vagina, it turns out nature does its thing well and the vagina is actually very stretchy and having more sexual partners does not make its inside looser).
While I can conceive while it would seem threatening for men to see women embrace body positivity or become more independent, women owning up to their sexuality and choosing whether or not to have sex regardless of societal pressures (which we are very far from, despite what the article suggests, but it’s still a nice hypothetical) seems like it would benefit both parties.
Seriously, please explain. I’m interested.
Here’s a primer
OMG this guy is a crazed lunatic
Well, he used to call his podcast “Lunatic Fringe Radio”…
I think the most precious thing about this article and the comments is that real people, like actual human beings think because a woman has fat in more places than her boobs, she is no longer a human being!!! Wow honestly it is adorable. You guys are hilarious!!
y’all motherfucking thirsty asses complaining about “fat chicks” and their “impossible standards” because that one girl turned you down that one time. seriously fuckin stop
Or everyone could just treat each other like human beings instead of isolating the two genders like they are different species.
Please, all of you just shut the fuck up, it’s bullshit, misogynistic and downright idiotic, people are who they are and you have no right to judge, most of you would probably be better off cutting off those shriveled up pricks you’re so proud of and doing the world a favor in stabilizing the gene pool.
“mythology that girls can fight, run, and intimidate like men.” Excuse me? Come into the ring with me, we can test that “myth” first hand.
Tuthmosis, you are an arrogant, misogynistic, pig with an incredibly small mind and I can guarantee you will live an exceptionally dull, shallow, and unfulfilled life.
years ago I said something to my girlfriend in passing about being stronger than her. She said it was sexism to assume I was stronger than her just because I was a man. I rolled my eyes and challenged her to an arm wrestling match. I will never forget the look of shock on her face when I effortlessly pinned her. She could not believe I was that much stronger than her.
Ok that’s just dumb for you to challenge her to begin with. It’s men like you that cause animosity by lording your strength over a woman. Why don’t you go tell a man your stronger than him and challenge him to an arm wrestle. She knows your stronger than her but you purposely tried to piss her off which is dumb and immature. When it comes to man points, you sir now have negative balance.
I can’t help but notice you have no citations or references in any of your articles. Everything you post is merely opinion and speculation.
I suggest you actually do some research. Yes- I said research, to back up your ridiculous claims.
I do not believe women are superior to men. We are, and should be, equals.
Also, I know guys who identify as pansexual. ‘Pansexual’ is not a euphemism for ‘slut’. It is the belief that relationships should not be “based on gender roles, attraction, sexual behaviors, and orientation” (Rice 593).
Please don’t shove all women into a category. Do not over-generalize. Do not act like an ignorant man who is unaware that we do not live in a ‘manosphere’, as you say, but in the 21st century.
I know this is just going to be deleted and unlikely to be even read before this action is done, but I felt the need to post it regardless.
Anyway, have a nice day!
Dude….seriously…you are so fucking whiny.
do you also believe that say, overweight guys should not have confidence? Or do you think men are superior to women?
actually, sorry, i was naive to ask that. i just read your rules and apparently you do think men are superior to women. all i can say is: you were born a man, i was born a woman… nobody´s fault. i have intellect, character, desires and fears, just like you do. it is inhumane to devalue me for being a woman and it shows the kind of person you are. i personally do not think that men or women are better, i believe we complement each other and that each person has masculine and feminine traits to different extents. if you need to push someone down to elevate yourself, you are weak. at their heart of hearts misgynists are deeply scared of female power and many of them know it.
My only question is this: Why do you write such hurtful articles about women. Do you all enjoy talking down upon another human being? Do you all enjoy crushing all the self-respect someone has? A woman is no less than a man. Think about what you’re saying. How would you feel if someone constantly talked shit about you? You all disgust me.
Oh, you-go-girl-ism is terrible because girls with self-esteem won’t sleep with any of you assholes.
I will say that Gina Carano is pretty awesome and could easily beat many guys simply because she is a trained MMA fighter as well as is (or was, not sure what she is doing right now) in amazing physical shape.. What makes her cool is that she is at the same time quite feminine and, according to an interview, is looking for a traditional relationship (she was broken-hearted when Henry Cavill broke up with her). That means she is both strong enough and attractive enough to embrace her femininity, making her miles ahead of most women.
I agree that it is bad for a person’s health, male or female, to be too overweight because of the possible heart and organ complications. Despite this, there are more males at risk of being too overweight than females, so why fat shame the girls without fat shaming men as well?
Also, I would like to point out that none of the females in the Dove real beauty campaign are fat, and especially not at a higher risk of complications. Furthermore, there are hardly any females who believe that women are better than men, but females do however deserve to be treated equally to men, no higher, no lower. May I also point out that the majority of women would NEVER let a woman get off scot free if she physically or emotionally abused a man, just as men should not abuse women. We should be striving for equality; neither men nor women are greater than one another. The human race needs both to survive.
“May I also point out that the majority of women would NEVER let a woman get off scot free if she physically or emotionally abused a man”
It’s those kinds of delusions about the moral superiority of women that add fuel to blogs such as this one. In reality, both men and women pretty much ignore male abuse and intervene female abuse.
I will continue to shout “you go, girl!” to my friends in school because this article is complete bullshit and I have found it to be an empowering message.
There are two friends in particular that I say this phrase with. One, like me, is a hardcore feminist. The other is a bubbly, buoyant, boy-band-loving clarinetist. Both are absolutely beautiful souls with so much to love and so much to offer to the world. I’m not sure when the three of us started saying “you go, girl!”, but it probably started a while back when we were all in struggling in the same biology class (to different degrees, and for different reasons, and during different class periods). Saying “you go, girl!” meant that we had each other’s backs, and we’re gonna do the best we can, even if sexist pigs will look at our efforts and say we’re horribly unintelligent and should be pulled from the gene pool.
(In fact, I was the absolute worst at biology. The bubbly one had troubles with the teacher, and the other hardcore feminist was better than me at biology by a long shot, but we all still struggled.)
Now we continue to yell “you go, girl!” when faced with tricky social interactions, seemingly-impossible quizzes and tests, and, of course, scary teachers. We CAN do anything boys can do – but we recognize this is staggered, in a way. Some boys are better than us at some things, some are worse. Some girls are better than us at some things (sometimes the same things as the boys), some are worse. All three of us are female, and somewhat impulsive, but, on that strain, I know impulsive males and females that seem to have no impulse whatsoever. I think it’s this diversity of impulses that makes life fun – after all, in the horror movies, isn’t it so much more laughably cliche but simultaneously horrifying when someone decides, “We should split up.”?
We don’t harm men (at least, not intentionally, but I’m pretty clumsy so, you know, shit happens), and I highly doubt that women that DO harm men were spurred by the cry of “you go, girl!” I’m not denying that female-on-male sexual violence/rape/etc. exists, because it DOES exist, of course, it’s yet another horrifying facet in rape and domestic violence culture. (Oh, and, by the way, I’m very excited to get into the streets and scream about rape culture in the future, because it’s something that needs to end and that people need to gang up against and protest.)
Also, WHAT’S wrong with female superheroes? Back when “The Incredibles” came out, Violet was my idol. She wanted to be invisible, but then realized her own worth and that she’s capable of taking charge of a situation and changing it for the better – and she didn’t even have to give up the age-old social taboo of being SHY! Over-sexualization of females in the media (or anywhere) IS dangerous, but then that prompts the question of why not making superheroes like real people (after all, they’re supposed to blend in as mild-mannered humans, right?) and giving them a diversity of body types. But I realize this is an argument for a whole other article….
ALSO, I’ve been noticing a lot of fat-shaming in the comments. Is it too polite for me to ask you to please stop? Probably, huh? Well, I’ll have you know, I am rather heavy-set and curvy, and I will wear whatever the hell I want. I don’t have to dress up to impress men, or anyone else, for that matter. I dress how I want BECAUSE I want. You have no say in it, and society shouldn’t, either. Thank you, and have a great day.
Oh, and for other people offended by this article, you go, girl! 🙂
“We CAN do anything boys can do – but we recognize this is staggered, in a
way. Some boys are better than us at some things, some are worse.”
All right. First question: do you agree men’s and women’s leagues in sports should be done away with, and both sexes compete against one another in open, mixed tournaments?
“Well, I’ll have you know, I am rather heavy-set and curvy, and I will wear whatever the hell I want. I don’t have to dress up to impress men, or anyone else, for that matter. I dress how I want BECAUSE I want. You have no say in it, and society shouldn’t, either.”
It’s called advice. What you think society should or shouldn’t do has zero effect on what society actually does. You can wear whatever the hell you want, but you have no right to tell people not to judge you for your unattractive appearance.
“You go girl” is to feminism as “sieg heil” is to Nazis.
You Go!!! Finally hot young female bosses to work for….better than those old dudes that I have had to watch ruin the economy and now refuse to retire because of it. Gen X men are happy to have these women start up new businesses to go work for….After all we are the last of the intelligent men anyway…60% of college goers are female now.
So sexual promiscuity is a “negative behavior”, but it’s ok for men to be like that? Isn’t one of the recurring themes of this blog to help men “lay as many chicks as possible”? How contradictory.
Or maybe no necessarily contradictory, considering you asshats on here want to feel that your sex is the “master race” (as you complain that a group of women feeling empowered aims to say they are “better than men”). I should probably figure that none of you believe in actual equality and in truth just believe YOU’RE better than the other sex.
So, this entire article in based on slagging off a movement that has very little to do with traditional feminism- which by the way guys- is the movement for the EQUALITY of men and women. This is an exaggerated and overdramatized version of a wave of misunderstood feminism- making ridiculous claims that the supporters of which believe that “women never lie” and “women are never violent” shows the childlike manner in which you think about them.
Women lie, men lie, children lie. HUMANS lie! We are also violent, as a species we always have been, regardless of gender. Stop whining about the double standards and stereotypes that you poor middle class men ‘suffer’ everyday- especially when you are also generalizing topics like “all girls are spoiled children” (that’s an real article name) as this is what we like to call HYPOCRISY- crying about being called rapists when screaming that women are all inferior sluts. Additionally, I’d like an explanation why you used the dove advert? Surely the statement that some women have priorities over toning their bodies in a sweaty, crowded gym is not actually such a sin (and yes, we do actually have priorities over always looking good for men – shock horror).
These ‘fatties’ you talk about? Some of them value a career or family over the way they look- not all of them- but addressing them as one group is once again a GENERALISATION for the intellectually dull. Oh so they’re fat cause they like food? Well, just remember there’s 10% more obese men than women- it’s not just us women with a dieting problem! If men are allowed to be unattractive and obese without being called out it- I believe the same treatment is entitled to women of the same situation. Right now, you could be inspiring young people to be the empowered, socially successful and valuable people that they should have been born with the opportunity to be- but instead you sit, bitterly blogging about your failing pick up attempts and fat hating antics that no one but bored misogynists take notice of. It’s a shame- you might be a success instead of an asshole!
Hillary.
I’m a martial arts instructor and I’m constantly asked, usually by women or effeminate looking men how to counter such and such a move etc. the answer is you can’t – if a 250lb, 6’5″ man is charging towards you with his fists flying you’d better be a 6’5″ 250lb man or your gonna come off badly. The notion that you can teach a physically weak, 112lb woman to physically overpower a man twice her size is laughable but you see it in movies all the time. I’ve never lost a fight or been seriously hurt by a woman and I’ve sparred with high level female MMA fighters
Regarding female superheroes, this has spawned a trope called waif fu. You got these women, some of whom are built like little girls, taking on male opponents (at least) two or three times their size. Videogame physics and cartoon physics don’t translate well in real life, some women have found out to their detriment.
That’;s why we have men and women’s sports competitions. The best men and women athletes can compete against opponents of their own sex (not gender, sex) but if we ever have men vs. women, even in non-contact sports like tennis, guess who’s getting their asses kicked?
The only realistic portrayal of a female superhero I’ve was this live action (action/comedy) movie whose name escapes me, where in one scene the girl throws a tantrum before flying off…through the roof.
On this subject, John Wick 2 is very refreshing. They do not take the Hollywood feminist way out when it comes to a woman and man with an equally matched skillset fighting each other, nor do they come up with some bullshit third option for ending the fight.
I understand how nasty this feminism s–t is for men, but you haven’t got a CLUE how hard it is for young women who DON’T buy into that nonsense. Eventually (like after 30) you learn that it’s not really about you and you can live a good life and have friends without these idiots – as long as you don’t work w/ or for them. Even Melania Trump can’t avoid them. I watched how the women treated her at a ceremony for Courageous Women; most of the women she gave the award to wouldn’t look her in the face. The title and first picture in USA Magazine about it says it all. http://www.usmagazine – DOT -com/celebrity-news/news/melania-trump-talks-kindness-at-international-womens-day-luncheon-w471204
You can actually hear the sneer about kindness, and the only women smiling at her in the photo are wayyy off in the distance, and are the pretty ones (sorry, ladies, that’s not always the case but enough of the times….)
Whenever we travel back to Oregon, we will get comments all the time about having six kids with us. Most are from these older, uglier, feminists who missed out on their chance to have kids.
Um…but women can do all the things men can do, with the small exception of certain physical things reliant on size and strength. This is satire right? Like the onion? No man is really this misogynistic and sexist, it just can’t be its 2017. This makes me highly doubt this guy actually does get laid a lot, and if he does I’m sure its just with girls with really low self-esteem (probably in part because of how he treats them) As men, we need to be better than this kind of thinking. Also the irony of saying women in combat doesn’t work and then linking to the film Haywire starring Gina Carano…she’s a UFC fighter, and could kick the shit out of the author and every other man posting in these comments. There was no stuntwoman in that move its all her she’s an amazing fighter.
