Breaking down the Political Feminist movement. Until balance is brought back to Heaven and Earth, our family brings the fight to the enemy with an invincible combination ancient knowledge, esoteric wisdom, and impregnable tactics.
Fathers matter more than ever, and anyone who doubts their importance has inevitably endured life without one.
Even feminist Gloria Steinem said, "Most American children suffer too much mother and too little father."
The politically correct modern notion is that as long as a child is healthy and loved, it doesn't matter who they are raised and nurtured by. And of course if there is no father, any loving parent is integral for a child's well being.
But the male influence in a child's life is invaluable, irreplaceable and necessary for most of us. There, I said it...
And there it is, in a nutshell. Please note how even the words of arch feminists are beginning to be used to justify and defend fatherhood.
Just wait and see. This is the beginning of the Great American Fatherhood Bull Market.
Getting back to the article:
... This article in no way suggests that millions of single mothers, aunts, grandmothers and other female caregivers have done amazing jobs in raising beautiful, strong boys into men, and with little help. And most women who raise boys alone do so not by choice but because of economic disparity or because husbands, boy friends or mere "sperm donors" have walked out on them no support...
Now longtime readers know that the paragraph above is a DAMN lie... women file 70% of the divorces, initiate the majority of the breakups in cohabiting situations, and are choosing to remain single in increasing numbers [1][2][3]. On top of this, women are choosing to have children out of wedlock more than ever before. WOMEN HAVE ALL OF THE RIGHTS WHEN IT COMES TO HAVING AND RAISING CHILDREN, WHILE MEN ONLY HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES AND DRACONIAN OBLIGATIONS. This is a fact of life in these United States, and is firmly rooted in precedent and public policy.
Now some will argue that women are forced to abandon their relationships due to violence or unavoidable necessity. And in some cases, that may be true.
However, I have two responses to this argument:
1) Genuine, life-threatening, injurious violence against women in relationships is rare... and the sum total of women walking out on their families is much greater than the number of incidents that would fall under the truly serious abuse category. More often than not, women leave their relationships as a personal lifestyle choice, not out of dire necessity. I would also offer my personal opinion that the dynamics of our Matriarchal regime create the conditions that lead to relationship conflict, dissatisfaction, dissolution, and violence.
2) Even if women are being forced to leave in droves due to situations beyond their control (which they are not), we as a society have no way of knowing for sure if basic, fundamental rights are being upheld in the process. We live in a regime of no-fault divorce, mandatory arrest policies, and free-for-all restraining order issuance. More often than not, evidence and facts are the first casualties of the No-Holds-Barred Political Feminist inspired War on Men and families. As a result, commentators on family breakdown issues have NO BASIS to make the claim that, at all times, woman=Good and Man=Bad.
There is no evidence, or moral authority to assign women the higher ethical ground when it comes to relationship issues of any kind. There is no possible way to know if each and every instance of women walking out on their relationships was truly justified. All we know is that women are usually the ones initiating the break ups, and we hear, from a multitude of sources, that women are choosing to do so because of "boredom," "lack of romance," or some other ridiculous reason.
Therefore, when the author of the Huffington Post piece states that "... most women who raise boys alone do so not by choice but because of economic disparity or because husbands, boy friends or mere "sperm donors" have walked out on them no support...", we know it is a boldfaced lie on its face.
Ditto when we read in the multitude of mainstream Father's Day articles that men are abandoning their families in droves, just for the hell of it. BOLD. FACED. LIE.
However, I would urge you to read the entire piece. The paragraph mentioned above notwithstanding, it frames the institution of Fatherhood in a positive light.
In fact, one could say that even the rank and file Leftists of the world are slowly starting to realize the error of their ways. I've had many discussions about Men's Rights Issues with folks who would be considered "socially liberal" who recongize the basic injustice of our "family" court regime. It's just that most of them read articles, such as this one, where the writer will talk out of both sides of her or his mouth, or crank out doublespeak of the highest order to suit their specific purposes. And, as you probably guessed, consuming too much of this material for any length of time scrambles the mind to the point where clear thinking is next to impossible.
Perhaps a MRA re-education camp is in order??
In any event,
Methinks that, going forward, we will have more and more supporters of Men's Rights who identify themselves with the Political Left. Who knows? Maybe challenging the Political Feminist status quo will become the new rallying cry for radicals throughout the world.
Please take a moment to view these videos as a reminder that, while the country is groaning and writhing over the epidemic of "Men abandoning their families," most individuals don't have a clue as to the real creator and sustainer of fatherless families...
Big Daddy Government.
Unless and until the mainstream understands the depth of the corruption that permeates the entire family law system, we will continue to have to endure the mountains of articles informing us that fatherlessness continues to increase year after year at alarming rates... because of those damn deadbeat dads of course.
As a 32 year old black man (and a father of a very handsome five month old son), I can definitely understand your feelings, as I too grew up without my father. I can related to the black hole (spiritually, financially, etc) of emptiness that fatherlessness can create.
I too have searched for answers to this problem, which has reached epidemic proportions in the black community. The outcome of my research, however, has led me to believe that government, via programs such as Welfare (that only pays benefits if fathers are out of the picture), and more importantly, the vast infrastructure of laws and policies on the books, contribute more to family destruction and the discouragement of marriage that anything else.
Please visit the following sites for more information:
Mr. President... it is my conclusion, based on a mountain of evidence, that government is the main source of our current epidemic of fatherlessness. It sounds counter-intuitive I know... but that is the reality.
As President of the United States, and a servant of the People, you have the ability to raise awareness and lobby for true equality, and for meaningful change on this issue. We should work to create a framework of laws and customs that buttresses and supports the family, instead of undermining it at every turn. This also means that groups such as feminists and others have to understand that men AND women have equal rights, complementary roles, and equal RESPONSIBILITIES. To simply say that the problem is "irresponsible men" is an intellectually dishonest oversimplification of the real issues at hand.
The evidence overwhelmingly shows that men are still involved in family matters IN SPITE of official public policy, not because of it. Indeed, official policy has led to a very active movement to discourage men from even marrying in the first place.
In any event, I know you are a very busy man, and that there are certain political realities that might prevent you from making the radical changes that need to be made in order to save fathers and families. However, it is your duty to examine all of the facts and to champion reforms that promote the general welfare of the nation.
In the case of Ancient Egypt (the land where you saw your image in stone), the King had a duty to uphold Ma'at... which means to uphold justice, right and order, and to destroy Isfet (evil, disorder and chaos) wherever it may be found. Our public policy generates much more chaos and disorder than it prevents, and this must change.
I recognize that what I am sharing with you is 360 degrees from the common wisdom. But as a finance professional, I can tell you that the truth of things is found not with the masses, but in the margins. What I am asking you to do is to examine the above information and bring it into the mainstream.
Since you and I are basically on the same page when it comes to the outcomes of fatherlessness, I urge you to have your aides look at the linked websites, gather more information, and do whatever you can do to encourage and strengthen (in a positive and correct way, not in the current punitive and incorrect way of doing business, i.e. involuntary divorce, impoverishment and imprisonment) marriage, fatherhood and families.
Otherwise,
America can never regain its previous position as the most powerful, prosperous, and influential nation on the face of the earth.
From one father to another, please look at the information presented, and do whatever it is that you can do to turn this situation around.
Wherever you are in the world, I hope today finds you in good spirits.
Speaking of going global, some of you might have noticed that I have added a Clustermap to the blogspot. And I have to tell ya, its pretty cool (and humbling) to know that I have valued readers in several continents tuning in to my delusional writings and paranoid ravings on a regular basis.
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy the content that Jeweled Tiger School has to offer. And of course, if you like what you read, tell a friend about it. The Mo' readers, the Mo' better.
Desperation in California.
The pressure continues to mount on the largest State in the Union. Indeed, State government is on the verge of a total shutdown. Mish the Enthusiastic lays out the details blow by blow here.
I know I've mentioned this subject before, but I believe the goings-on in Cali are of monumental importance to MRAs, Libertarians, and Truthseekers everywhere.
Notice how Leftist government programs are on the chopping block. Leftist legislators, as usual, refuse to accept the reality of the present situation. Leftist unions of all kinds are engaged in a desperate battle to carry on with business as usual.
(For the record, I have no beef with workers exercising their right to form collective bargaining organizations. The struggle between labor and management is eternal, and there should be no special favoritism for or against labor or the owners of capital. Let the two sides battle it out, and let the chips fall where they may. The Laws of Economics will inevitably punish factions that are economically inefficient or excessively greedy in the long run.)
But it is becoming increasingly obvious that the bulk of government programs serve no purpose other than to make life more costly, inefficient, and difficult. Programs such as these will go the way of the Dodo bird. Programs of all kinds that have a negative return on investment, including feminist pet projects, are all going DOWN.
(Unlike most Libertarians, I accept the fact that there are some essential government services, and that when governments stick to these core functions, they do them quite well. But that is another topic for another time.)
What should be instructive to MRAs everywhere is how politicians are increasingly being forced to choose between supporting Leftist/feminist pork, or making sure that their entities remain financially and politically viable.
Political feminism, which is based on blatant lies and incredibly flawed logic, has had a good run. So long as cheap and easy fiat dollars flowed into feminist and "social services" coffers, everything was just peachy.
So long as society, and the families that hold it together, managed to limp along and pretend that, yes, one-sided, unilateral divorce, the politically motivated plundering of men, and the massive expansion of government into everyone's personal and family lives was a desirable and noble set of objectives, no one really paid much attention to the silent rotting of the nation's marriage and family support structure. Social Dividends were recklessly blown on cheap booze, flat screen TVs, and 40" rims for luxury SUVs.
Nothing to fear... someone else will pay for it.
Nothing to see here folks, that bastard of a man deserved the ass-raping he received in the 'family' courts of injustice. Besides, he looks like an abuser anyway.
Hit the road Jack... You aren't needed in this family unit anymore. The role Yo' sorry male ass used to play has been outsourced to Welfare and Child Protective services.
Yes... we could squander obscene amounts of money and manpower to enforce the Political Feminist regime. But in California, in many States across the Union, and in many Western Countries deep in the quagmire of the new unfolding Great Depression, Political Feminist sacred cows that provide ultra-negative returns on investment are on their way out.
Believe it!
You can almost feel the conflict that many aiders and abettors of these failed and bankrupt government programs are wrestling with.
Whatever shall they do??? It is mysterious indeed how Habitforce brings about long overdue and greatly needed changes.
... The city of Yakaterinburg, Russia’s largest east of the Urals, may become known not only as the death place of the tsars but of American hegemony too – and not only where US U-2 pilot Gary Powers was shot down in 1960, but where the US-centered international financial order was brought to ground.
Challenging America will be the prime focus of extended meetings in Yekaterinburg, Russia (formerly Sverdlovsk) today and tomorrow (June 15-16) for Chinese President Hu Jintao, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and other top officials of the six-nation Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). The alliance is comprised of Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrghyzstan and Uzbekistan, with observer status for Iran, India, Pakistan and Mongolia. It will be joined on Tuesday by Brazil for trade discussions among the BRIC nations (Brazil, Russia, India and China).
The attendees have assured American diplomats that dismantling the US financial and military empire is not their aim. They simply want to discuss mutual aid – but in a way that has no role for the United States, NATO or the US dollar as a vehicle for trade. US diplomats may well ask what this really means, if not a move to make US hegemony obsolete...
... In addition to avoiding financing the US buyout of their own industry and the US military encirclement of the globe, China, Russia and other countries no doubt would like to get the same kind of free ride that America has been getting. As matters stand, they see the United States as a lawless nation, financially as well as militarily. How else to characterize a nation that holds out a set of laws for others – on war, debt repayment and treatment of prisoners – but ignores them itself? The United States is now the world’s largest debtor yet has avoided the pain of “structural adjustments” imposed on other debtor economies. US interest-rate and tax reductions in the face of exploding trade and budget deficits are seen as the height of hypocrisy in view of the austerity programs that Washington forces on other countries via the IMF and other Washington vehicles...
... the nations meeting at Yekaterinburg are taking steps to avoid being the unwilling recipients of yet more dollars. Seeing that US global hegemony cannot continue without spending power that they themselves supply, governments are attempting to hasten what Chalmers Johnson has called “the sorrows of empire” in his book by that name – the bankruptcy of the US financial-military world order. If China, Russia and their non-aligned allies have their way, the United States will no longer live off the savings of others (in the form of its own recycled dollars) nor have the money for unlimited military expenditures and adventures.
US officials wanted to attend the Yekaterinburg meeting as observers. They were told No. It is a word that Americans will hear much more in the future...
Be sure to read the entire piece, as this is a vitally important story.
The issues that California is facing are going to be the same issues faced by Fedgov once our foreign creditors oh-so-politely refuse to lend us ever increasing amounts of money via purchasing U.S. T-Bills and Notes.
This won't happen overnight or tomorrow, or the next day. It will be a slow, gradual process of strangulation.
While the lifestyle of many Americans is going to take a major hit, there are a few good things that our forced declaration of insolvency (either by default or by massive money printing) will bring about.
For one thing, our insane quest for global empire will come to an end, and Americans will demand that their political and business leaders focus their efforts and energies into rebuilding America. The much neglected homeland will benefit greatly as a result.
Government, not surprisingly, will be forced to downsize and stick to the core functions that it is actually good at, such as police and fire services. Programs will be cut, workers will be let go, and it will be quickly discovered that giving power and responsibility back to the People will be the cheapest and most effective solution to the multitude of problems that the nation will face. I guess you could say that government powers will be reverse-outsourced back to the People.
Speaking of which, the masses, once their belief that government-can-do-it-all is completely annihilated, will re-discover their personal power and act on it to create a better world out of pure necessity and capitalistic self interest. Community and society will once again have meaning, urgency, and vitality. The great healing process will finally begin.
I am also bullish on American manufacturing and the American employment market, as our vastly depreciated dollar will, if political conditions permit, a great wave of Reverse-Outsourcing as global companies seek to build their goods cheaply in America for local consumption and overseas markets. American factories are going to make a massive comeback in the decades to come.
And finally, the American man is going to benefit tremendously, as Political Feminism crumbles under widespread and sudden abandonment of its ideals and objectives on a local and global scale. The Femmes will still be preaching their rabid stupidity, but no one will take them seriously.
I wonder if the term "Old Maid" will experience a revival in popularity??
When the tectonic plates finally shift in the global financial and political landscape, Feminist blowhards will find that their support is as fundamentally unstable as the Leaning Tower of Pisa in the middle of a category 200 Typhoon. Feminist pet projects WILL be sacrificed, and the country will be forced to move in more family friendly direction, if they ever hope to see true social and economic recovery.
Methinks that Political Feminism's 40 year run is coming to a close. Only time will tell if my assertion is the correct one.
In the meantime, let's kick back and enjoy the show. Especially since, with the Bond Markets [1][2] becoming increasingly unstable, the real fireworks might unfold over the weeks and months to come.
If I ruled the World...
Okay, Okay.
Let's be real for a minute.
I know I talk alot about feminism, government sponsored failure, bond market collapses, and fat arsed womenfolk who could stand to lose a few pounds.
A lot.
Often.
Gloom and doom... Doom and gloom.
And I know some of you might be thinking... "Sakes alive! Gyo is one gloomy Gus!"
"Since you're such a smart boy... what exactly would you do to fix things?"
"Can't you bring anything positive to the table??"
Hmm... Good Question. Let's speculate for a minute.
If I were calling the shots, what would I do to turn things around?
Well, before I wax poetical, let me say that I am becoming more and more optimistic about America's future as time goes on.
Contradictory, I know.
In the short term, and in the intermediate long term, we have a lot of problems that we have to deal with. It can't be helped, and the pain cannot be avoided.
As a student of history I’m drawn to the concept of cycles. It is comforting to think that history has recurring patterns and a natural rhythm. Trying to figure out why the major events in history occurred is complex, challenging and fascinating. When I read an updated 1997 article by Doug Casey in December on John Mauldin’s site called Foundations of Crisis, I was blown away. Mr. Casey had read the book The Fourth Turning by William Strauss and Neil Howe and made some forecasts of what would happen in the next few years. They were eerily accurate, including an airliner being purposefully crashed into a government building to trigger a crisis. After reading this article I’ve been trying to wrap my arms around the implications of their theory and the possible consequences for the United States. I know that an individual can learn from the past. I’ve always thought that poet George Santayana’s quote, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it", is profound and worth studying.
The crucial issue is whether societies as a whole are capable of learning from the past or are they condemned to the inevitable cycle of history. Can an individual change the course of history? Was World War II inevitable, even if Adolph Hitler had been killed during World War I? Is there anything that can be done to avert the cyclical crisis that seems to arrive on a consistent basis throughout history? Is our destiny already preordained? Mr. Strauss and Mr. Howe wrote the following words in 1997:
Based on historical patterns, America will hit a once-in-a-century national crisis within the decade...'like winter,' the crisis or 'fourth turning' cannot be averted. It will last 20 years or so and bring hardship and upheavals similar to previous fourth turnings, such as the American Revolution, the Civil War, the Great Depression and World War II. The fourth turning is a perilous time because the result could be a new 'golden age' for America or the beginning of the end. It all will begin with a 'sudden spark' that catalyzes a crisis mood around the year 2005.
Mr. Quinn's article is required reading... so be sure to check out the entire piece.
In any event, we have a convergence of storms on the horizon... political, financial, social, natural resource related, water and other essential commodity related... the list goes on and on.
We know these storms are coming. There is plenty of time to prepare, to make plans, to alert others and batten down the hatches. We have to recognize the dangers and take the appropriate precautions. I live by the Boy Scout Motto: Be Prepared.
But once you have gotten ready to ride out the storm as best you can, there is simply no need to wallow in negativity or to become depressed about things outside of your control. Indeed, the person who has a backup plan is the one who sleeps the best at night.
Your friend Gyokko smiles quite a bit these days. There is a bounty of opportunity even in the worst of times. And I for one count my blessings, as many other people in the world have much bigger problems than I do.
And, for Men Going Their Own Way, life couldn't be happier. Having successfully avoided the Political Feminist deathtrap called Marriage, and having devoted his time and resources to pursuing his own dreams and to build his spiritual and material wealth, he is truly flexible and free to sidestep the multitude of hazards that befall the less enlightened.
Indeed, such a man has the power to reach and teach his brothers. He has the moral authority to help brothers who have fallen victim to the Divorce and Child Support regime, or have suffered job losses and the like. And best of all, he is free to create blogs, produce Youtube videos, or upload podcasts to combat the feminist onslaught in relative privacy and comfort.
Applied knowledge is truly power, and those who utilize their information and skills in the correct way can create their own reality by the power of focused intention alone. I know this is so because I have literally built my own world by doing that which is right, and shunning that which is wrong. The Enemy has no power over me because I am the one who is in control of my own thoughts, words, and deeds.
The day when one recognizes this fact and takes full and conscious control of their own heart and mind is the day when one becomes truly free from the delusions of the Big Wide World.
Feminists cannot assault me, because I know their ways, their thoughts, and their methods. Fiat central bankers hold no sway over me because I refuse to put myself in their power by excessive borrowing, spending, and hoarding of Federal Reserve Notes. Criminals do not trouble me because I hold no criminal thoughts, I don't live in violent neighborhoods, and I have a wide assortment of tools to protect against potential encounters with them.
But anyway Dear Readers... I digress.
So... getting back on topic: What would I do to fix our most pressing problems?
1) Make the Rule of Law Absolute.
Instead of trying to fix everything in my society, including the things about which I know nothing about, I would rather create a constitution, a body of laws that are in complete harmony with the true and correct Universal Laws and are strictly interpreted and enforced.
We know what the Universal Laws are... these are the principles that have been proven, by thousands of years of human experience, testing, and observation to be true. Many cultures and thinkers have spent countless hours examining, refining, and writing about them, and the effects they have across many diverse and seemingly unrelated disciplines.
The Universal Laws are truisms that, based on long centuries of experience, observation, and experimentation, are proven beyond doubt and human prejudice to be true and correct. Obeying such laws equals success, and breaking such laws uniformly leads to failure.
I would create a body of basic, fundamental laws that would regulate the conduct of all Men without prejudice or unnecessary encumbrances. In addition, my laws would be accessible and easy to understand. None of this thousands of pages of laws business in my Kingdom!
Everyone would know what the fundamental laws are, and would know that these are fixed rules not subject to change based on a whim. The inflexibility and universality of a legal code is what the Rule of Law is all about. It is when a nation is governed by the law, and not by men and their likes and dislikes. The Law is the Law.
2) Insure that the laws are applied to every individual without differentiation or discrimination.
As Bastiat tells us in The Law, favoritism of any sort is the basis of political instability and chaos. Equal rights for all, special rights for none.
3) By upholding the Rule of Law and insuring that they will be applied without bias, I have built the foundation for a society where people will be free to utilize their own unique talents as they see fit, so long as they do not violate the rights of others. The empowered populace would naturally gravitate to the fields where they can maximize their contribution with a minimal amount of personal effort. Technology, productivity, and best practices would rule the day.
But... just in case my people were slow to find their niches, I would hire consultants such as Mr. Richard Koch to provide seminars and training so they could find the occupations and activities where 20% of their energy would yield 80% in terms of positive and beneficial outcomes.
4) I would encourage, by means of moral persuasion, not by force, the populace to become independent producers and entrepreneurs. While not everyone has the desire to do such things, it wouldn't hurt to teach the public how to become self sufficient in economic matters, thereby dramatically elevating the country's standard of living and competitiveness in world markets. To aid me in this effort, I would hire instructors such as Robert Kiyosaki and Tim Ferris to spread the economic gospel to my fellow citizens.
It goes without saying that in my country, Equality of Opportunity is in, and Equality of Outcomes is definitely out. All of my subjects would have an equal right to pursue whatever path they desire, so long as they don't infringe upon the rights of others.
However, trying to insure Equality of Outcomes is a massive waste of time, energy, and resources. Human beings have to accept the consequences of their actions, be it negative or positive. If a man does the right things in the right way, then he is entitled to the fruits of his success. But if a man does the wrong thing the wrong way, then he alone is responsible for his failure.
Oh and by the way... no Most Favored Corporation/Industry policies or Bailouts would be allowed in my Kingdom. All have the opportunity to succeed, as well as the opportunity to fail.
5) Once my fellow citizens have created a peaceable, just, and wealthy society, then it is time to elevate the spiritual and moral level of the people.
My country would be a free marketplace of religious ideals, where differing groups competed in an almost Anything Goes free-for-all to save souls and gain converts. Those who promote violence or commit illegal acts in the process of battling for religious supremacy would be dealt with very harshly. The people would be free to believe whatever they want, so long as they do not violate the rights of others in the process.
And, as the imaginary Royal Prince of Zamunda, I would use my moral authority to promote an environment conducive to ever higher levels of spiritual awareness. To borrow from the Ancients for a moment, I would speak Ma'at, live Ma'at, and do Ma'at at all times... well maybe most of the time.
Anyhoo, I would make damn sure that my laws supported positive spiritual growth, instead of creating perverse incentives and moral hazards to encourage evil, excessive greed, obscene amounts of leverage, and the all consuming abomination of Church's Chicken!
Beyond these basic things... I would leave people alone to do what they do. I would protect the innocent, and reward what is right, while I would be equally focused on punishing the guilty, and completely eliminating what is wrong, ineffective, or harmful to society. I certainly wouldNOT set up a legal/social framework that rewards incompetence and drives out good and productive things as our present system does today.
So ends my thoughts on if I ruled the world.
Conclusion.
No matter what evils a minority of men may do to one another, I can't shake my feeling of optimism and hope that I hold for humanity at large.
Looking back to history, I know that Germany has experienced hyperinflation and two World Wars. And yet, there she is, a modern and prosperous nation. I know that Britain underwent the devastating loss of Empire, raw materials, and markets, and yet she still maintains a high standard of living. I know that other nations have experienced the worst... wars, famine, disease, inhuman cruelty... but the worst passes eventually, and people somehow find a way to keep on moving and better themselves and their societies; even though the healing process might take a very long period of time to manifest itself.
Even in my own country, I know that my ancestors were impoverished and illiterate slaves and field hands. My ancestors were beaten, sold, and confined to a second class existence for centuries.
And yet, many people, of many racial, religious, and political persuasions, interacted and produced the society in which I live today; a society that has millions of people just like me, a free black man using the internet to record his thoughts on a blog that will be read by individuals throughout the world. the way the world has changed for the better is nothing short of a miracle, in my view.
At the same time, I definitely recognize that life isn't fair all of the time, and that injustice still exists in our day and age.
Men are being discriminated against and are being torn limb from limb by the "family" court system. Big Banks are being bailed out, while the little people work two jobs just to pay the mortgage and buy a loaf of bread. Wars rage around the globe, and shadows of global pandemic loom large.
But in spite of it all, I have faith that truth wins over lies, and that Men always seek to correct that which is wrong... even if the wheels of Justice and Karma are much slower than many would desire.
Happily, there are many avenues an enlightened man can take to evade the grasp of the Enemy, even during the worst of times. And for those of us with eyes to see and ears to hear, those rare men who are going their own way, we can make some pretty good lemonade from the lemons that life tries to hand us. All in all, I think the day is coming soon when I can stop blogging about the evils of feminism, and write posts full time about how awesome your life will be if you decide to take control and go your own way.
We live in interesting times. And since desperate times require uncommon wisdom and unorthodox understanding to navigate safety to better days, I would highly recommend that you run (not, walk, RUN!) and pick up The Creature from Jekyll Island by Mr. G. Edward Griffin.
If you want to truly understand what is happening with our economy and our nation, this book is a must-must read. In combination with previously recommended volumes [1][2], this massive 500+ page tome will seriously open your eyes to reality.
Don't sleep on this one... go pick it up NOW.
For real.
One quick shot before I go...
The Passionate Mish writes about how the Secretary of the United States Treasury was thoroughly mocked while visiting the Middle Kingdom.
Knowing Asia as well as I do, I regard this as a slap in the face to the credibility of the U.S. of A.
If we were the America of old, a mighty Empire that commanded respect, admiration, and fear, no self respecting Asian would dare express any emotion as blatantly disrespectful as laughing out loud in public while one of our most important officials was within earshot.
How times have changed.
We as Americans have lost massive amounts of Face in recent years. While we fun loving Westerners have forgotten our traditions of Face and Honor, best believe such concepts are alive and well in the East.
While I might be over-reacting a bit here, it disturbs me that America is literally the laughing stock of Asia, and quite possibly the world at large. An evil omen to be sure... and no good will come of our loss of Face in the world.
I can't blame the Chinese for their outburst however... we have brought this shameful situation upon ourselves. Our wholehearted support of idiotic Political Feminist dogma doesn't help our standing any in the worldwide community of Men.
Enough of my ranting... go out and purchase The Creature today.
Ladies and gents, America is broke. There is no way out of this debt trap except to either:
1) Take the bitter medicine of bankruptices, liquidations, defaults and higher interest rate costs on future borrowings or...
2) Inflate.
Guess which option Uncle Sam is going to choose?
The other item I wanted to bring to your attention is California's current budget crisis.
We all know that California has spent money like a rock star, financing its Leftist, Socialist and Feminist machine by issuing billions in Municipal Bonds.
Even though the State has requested a massive bailout from the Feds, it should be pointed out that the time is coming when even the U.S. Government will be shut out of the Debt markets.
What will happen when the country can no longer borrow extreme amounts of money cheaply and easily?
We need to pay close attention to the California situation because it is the true canary in the coal mine. What's happening in Cali on a micro level is what will probably happen to the Country on a macro level, once we suffer a crippling dollar collapse/debt default scenario.
As depressing as things seem, the economic situation will force everyone to make significant changes to their personal, financial, and political lives... and most of these changes will be for the best in the long run.
For example, government programs that don't cut the Cost/Benefit mustard are going to be cut. And most-favored-feminist programs will not be spared the Axe when that time comes.
While I definitely sympathize with the poor people who are going to suffer the most from these cuts, my hope is that they will be driven to search for the real causes to their suffering, as well as to seek out positive and productive solutions to increase the quality and happiness of their own lives, once they become free of the 80% of government programs that do nothing but reward and perpetuate failure.
Also, failed laws on the books that cost tons of money to enforce are going to be repealed. My guess is that Marijuana will be legal in California (and other States, when the crisis hits in earnest), in the near future. Non violent offenders will be released from the country's jails and prisons, and resources will be reallocated to pursue the 20% of individuals who commit 80% of serious criminal offenses.
Due process and other Constitutional protections will be strengthened because the prevailing attitude will be to keep innocent people out of the criminal justice system. More prosecutions, trials, and convictions = more dollars needed to incarcerate and feed more inmates.
And finally, public policy in this country is going to change. Feminist public policy will be out... marriage and family friendly public policy will be in. Men and women, left to fend for themselves after the collapse of private and public debt bubbles, will quickly rediscover that marriage is the oldest and best wealth creating institution. The people, and their elected representatives will relearn that a stable and equitable marriage culture saves billions of dollars and pays real social and economic dividends.
Less people will commit crimes, less children will be abused, and fewer children will grow up in poverty. More people will be happier and healthier, more secure in their personal and professional lives, and will be more self sufficient as part of a family unit.
But before all of these dividends can be realized, the government barriers to the free marketplace of love and marriage must be destroyed.
And since most are wholly ignorant as to how government has destroyed marriage and family life, it looks like a massive bond market collapse will be the corrective mechanism that brings us back to our senses.
Time marches onwards... and the interest on our massive debts compound every minute of everyday.
The more time we waste on ideas, movements, and programs that have proven themselves to be complete and utter failures, the less time, energy and resources we will have to elevate our society to spectacular heights of happiness, contentment, and satisfaction.
Mr. Jerry Salcido, writing for Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty, has published an excellent article that is required reading for those of us who are opposed to the Feminist State and its deathgrip on Marriage:
... California, like the other 49 states and most countries in the world, holds a monopoly over marriage. Who can get married and un-married is at its sole discretion, through the granting and revocation of the marriage license -- that fiat currency, if you will, whose only value derives from the powers and privileges that accompany it at the behest of the State, but which nonetheless is required to consummate human relationships.
The state's involvement with marriage is rarely questioned. Advocates and enemies of same sex marriage alike all seek the endorsement of the state, never stopping to ask why the states approval is needed at all. The reason behind this submission appears simple enough -- the philosophy ascribed by our society today which has led to the displacement of the private sector with the substitution of the state in nearly all facets concerning the rights of life, liberty, and property has taken root in the marriage issue.
Thanks to the state, marriage is no longer a covenant between two people or between two people and God. No, marriage is a state classification, which connotes state-provided benefits or detriments. Marriage is married to the state imposed tax structure and the state created probate system, and in many instances marriage defines the powers of the state over the married individuals.
This unholy union between the state and marriage has transformed marriage from an inalienable or natural right in which government's only place was as protector of that right, to a civil right in which the state became the creator of the right...
It's refreshing that the viewpoints that Senior MRAs such as Baskerville have been writing about for a long time are finally being exposed to a wider audience.
Fiat Financed government, along with the Political Feminists and others who manipulate it, has destroyed marriage in Western society. No man can marry and know that his natural rights will be protected from family court encroachment. The unimpeachable truth of this statement is supported by the volumes of evidence posted throughout this blogspot.
Seek and ye shall find.
At first, only Men's Rights Activists would dare to put two and two together. But ever so slowly, I am beginning to see "green shoots" of understanding blooming in the post Political Feminist landscape. The masses of people who are slowly coming out of their slumber are connecting the dots. Bank Bailouts, Patriot Act abuses, and the Tyranny of the Divorce court [a][b] are all manifestations of private interest groups and public entities running roughshod over any and all notions of Rights, Responsibilities, and Common Sense.
Government is a necessity for civilized living. However, the role and scope of government must be limited to securing the full and equal rights of all of its people without exception. When one group of citizens succumbs to the temptation of using government power to harass, oppress, or seek vengeance upon another group of people, unscrupulous actors within government feed upon this discord in order to maximize their own power and influence. Before long, the newly empowered government regulates all aspects of life. In short order, the controllers wind up being controlled... for their own protection of course.
Continuing with the essay:
... First, the State declares what are and are not rights. Second, even if the State recognizes that something is a right, the State can abrogate that right so long as the State has a sufficient interest. Gone is the day when government's role was to protect the individual's natural rights.
By transitioning away from a protector of rights to a provider of rights, the state has laid the groundwork for the problems that are so evident in the same sex marriage issue. If the government were to take its proper place as a protector of rights then a private union between a same sex couple which the couple calls "marriage" would be inconsequential to same sex marriage opponents, even though it may be morally repugnant to some and nonsensical to others. Likewise, refusal to recognize a private same sex union as "marriage" would be inconsequential to gays and lesbians, even though such refusal may personally offend the practitioners of same sex unions. In a free society any individual could "marry" whomever he wants by whatever procedure he desires, and the government's only role would be to make sure that in doing so he does not violate the natural rights of others.
Such a scenario, of course, assumes that the state would be acting in its proper role as protector of rights in all regards, which would mean that private contractual relationships would replace the state created systems of benefits. Marriage, in that situation, would be relevant only where the contracting parties made it so; and, the state's only role with regards to such contracts would be to ensure that the contract is enforced or to protect the parties against the other's fraud...
And this failure of the government courts to enforce the marriage contract and protect against fraud is exactly why marriage in the West is a losing proposition.
... A contract says that if you behave in such and such manner and don’t deviate out of that behaviour, you will be compensated with a guarantee of this and this behaviour from the other party. Step out of these guidelines and you will be legally liable, stay within them and your rights will be guaranteed.
But, in the 1970’s, the ever wise feminists declared that it was far too difficult to find fault in people’s complex personal relationships, and therefore “No Fault Divorce” was implemented, again with the aid of the heavy hand of the courts. (Odd, isn’t it? They have no troubles at all finding “fault” in cases of domestic violence.)
So what have we got left here?
WE HAVE A FRAUDULENT CONTRACT MASQUERADING AS MARRIAGE!
Indeed we do. And consequently, no Man should even consider entering into such a one sided and dangerous agreement.
In any event, please read Mr. Salcido's article, as it is a good one. But also recognize that it doesn't go far enough (the definitive work on the topic of the destruction of Western Marriage by the State can be found here). Not only does the State need to exit the Marriage Licensing Business, but it also needs to either protect against fraud and enforce the provisions of the Marriage Contract equally and without favoritism towards women, as is the case today, or get the hell out of the way and let private mediators weigh in on marital disputes or dissolutions.
Don't get me wrong though... I view this well written article as another positive sign that the Political Feminist jig is up. Understanding will reach the masses, and then the mangled corpse of the Political Feminist vulture will be tossed into the garbage bin, to rot and fester in its own private Hell where it belongs.
As I cruse the Net in between professional and personal projects that take up much of my time these days, Gyo is happy to see that MRAs have taken to Youtube in a big way. As I snoop around, I find more and more gems of information, commentary, and activism.
This is a good thing.
For example, have a look at this vid posted by Mr. Roberto Regalado entitled Interview with Roy Den Hollander on V.A.W.A and feminism.
Up next, check out the brilliant Men's Rights V-Blogger Thugtician as he speaks on what a Thug really is, as it relates directly to today's main topic.
In addition, I'd also like for you to watch Austrian Economist Walter Block counter accusations of sexism and racism in this video.
Please take a moment to watch all of these, because they talk about themes that dovetail nicely with one another. I like to think that these videos chronicle the comedy of errors that are strangling the Western Golden Goose ever so slowly and deliberately. More often than not, governments and private ideological groups work hand in hand to generate problems and impose solutions that lead to yet more problems.
For example, Block's observation that labor force inequalities between men and women could be socio-biologically based, and that the productivity and prosperity of black Americans are being undermined by the Welfare State and the War on Drugs is right on the money.
And we cannot overlook the damaging consequences of Feminism on the black family. These three manifestations are the Unholy Trifecta that has ruined the African American family for generations to come.
And what is the source of these above mentioned problems? Need I point out that ALL OF THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN CREATED AND MAINTAINED BY GOVERNMENT?
Should I mention that without the support of fiat financed government, these social insanities would be rare and inconsequential? Would it be obvious that without government support these social initiatives WOULD NOT BE DESTROYING THE LIVES OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE LIKE THEY ARE TODAY?
Something to think about.
Happy viewing!
Announcements.
But before we get down to the nitty-gritty, I want to make a few quick announcements.
I am assembling a body of research in my spare time, as well as preparing for my CFA, Series 7, and Series 66 exams. As I prepare to "turn pro" and enter the money management business, I am also contemplating if I am going to release a book based on the topics covered on this blog, as opposed to an educational DVD of some sort.
My goal is to release a quality product that educates, entertains, and is accessible to the Average Joe on the street, in addition to being comprehensive in scope. I seek to connect the dots that tie feminists, globalists, socialists, and the money powers together.
In addition to consuming massive amounts of chicken and beer, I spend a lot of time looking after my little man. It's surprising how quickly one becomes proficient at handling and taking care of children.
And the smiles they give you... more precious than money in the bank.
(As a side note, the feminist idea that men have zero ability to care for children is the biggest line of bullshit ever sold. Fathers and children get along quite well thank you very much!)
Consequently, I might be a little slow on posting, or my commentaries might be a little shorter than usual going forward. Thanks for your understanding, and more details will be shared as time goes on.
I am also upgrading my equipment in preparation to expand my personal Men's Rights Crusade. I've seen some great Youtube videos, and I've listened to some slick podcasts... and I WANT IN!
When Gyo goes multi-media, I'll be sure to get the word out.
PHOENIX — Battered by the recession and the deepest and most widespread budget deficits in several decades, a large majority of states are slicing into their social safety nets — often crippling preventive efforts that officials say would save money over time...
... Ohio and other states face large cutbacks in child welfare investigations, which may mean more injured children and more taken into foster care. Despite tax increases, California has ended dental coverage for adults on Medicaid, all but guaranteeing future medical problems.
“There’s no question that we’re getting short-term savings that will result in greater long-term human and financial costs,” said Linda J. Blessing, interim chief of the Arizona Department of Economic Security, expressing the concerns of officials and community agencies around the country. “There are no good options, just less bad options.”
Arizona has one of the nation’s highest deficits in relation to its budget. As revenues sank late last year, forcing across-the-board cuts this spring, the child protection agency stopped investigating every report of potential abuse or neglect, and sharply reduced counseling of families deemed at risk of violence...
Without massive quantities of fiat financing, states and other government entities would be forced to act in cases of real need, instead of waging an all out war of terror upon fathers and families.
We know that state governments abuse the rights of men in order to obtain federal dollars. We also know that children have the highest probability of being abused when they do not live with their biological father and mother [1][2].
When we look at the facts, it becomes clear that if governments ceased their "child protection" efforts, then more children and families would be better off. Anti-male and Anti traditional family crusades only lead to incredible amounts of misery, expense, and social devastation for everyone.
TheTimes continues:
... The Illinois governor’s budget proposal would scale back home visits to ill-equipped first-time mothers, who are given advice over 18 months that experts say is repaid many times over in reduced child abuse and better school preparation.
“We spend $1.2 billion a year on child welfare,” said Diana M. Rauner, director of the Ounce of Prevention Fund in Chicago, which channels government money to private agencies. “You’d think we’d spend a lot of money to keep people out of that system.”
Ohio’s proposed budget “will dramatically decrease our ability to investigate reports of abuse and neglect,” with some counties losing 75 percent of their investigators, said Joel Potts, director of the Ohio Job and Family Services Directors’ Association, which represents county officials.
New York State is using stimulus money and a tax increase to avoid most of the large cuts in child care, nurse visits to inexperienced mothers and other services that were originally proposed. But if revenues keep falling by the billions, “all bets are off,” said Karen Schimke, president of the Schuyler Center for Analysis and Advocacy in Albany, which studies child and family issues...
Longtime readers know that massive quantities of fiat dollars have created more social problems than they have solved. Billions are being spent, and our society is in chaos because of this fact.
Instead of using these billions to buttress and strengthen the institutions that do the best job in educating, protecting, and elevating the well-being, happiness, and productivity of society, we funnel public dollars to public and private organizations hell bent on ripping this country to shreds, one married family at a time.
My argument is two fold: Events will force governments to axe programs that have a negative return on investment, and that the nation will be much better off when this happens.
Government has a limited number of essential duties it must perform. These are to protect life, liberty, and property. It must also provide a fair and impartial forum for the adjudication of disputes. And it must, above all, uphold the rule of law. This is critical because the law is the lowest level of human virtue.
If the government moves from a fixed set of principles to a regime of favored groups and special privileges, then we cannot be surprised when society becomes debased and all of its institutions rot from within. Virtues, currencies, religious systems, social mores and customs... all of these become more distorted and perverted as time goes on.
And, since corruption flows downhill, the nation becomes less likely to agree to the return to the rule of law as time passes. Decay and group insanity sets in.
Billions morph into Trillions... Trillions we cannot hope to ever repay. Classes of people out of favor find themselves stripped of their Natural Rights; Truth and Right are quietly murdered in their own beds. The decline becomes a self-fulling prophecy as the brainwashed masses look to a false messiah to save them; not realizing that they themselves have the power to alter their own circumstances if they would only perform the correct, important, and essential actions that lead to positive outcomes.
Through the Triple Secret of Thought, Word, and Deed, Men would think, say, and do the right things that lead to success. The only way a Man can achieve the higher levels of good are by doing the right things. Thinking, saying, and doing the wrong things lead inevitably to failure, without exception.
Instead of using our powers to violate the Universal Law, we must structure our society to be in harmony with it. We need the law on our side. We need to co-operate with the Father instead of fighting against Him. If we make the changes that need to be made, and eliminate the useless activities and ideologies which provide ever diminishing returns, our nation would quickly become rich, powerful, and enlightened beyond our wildest dreams.
Like it or not, generational change is upon us. Feminists and others who depend on the old paradigm for their daily bread are in for a very rude awakening. Those who cannot, or will not see will have their eyes opened for them in the fullness of time.
Thug Lovin.
So now I tackle the greatest mystery of the age... why do good girls like bad boys?
Before I share my opinion, I would like to highlight what others have to say about this phenomenon, a subject more complex than the Origin of the Universe, or the Loch Ness Monster...
"Some women feel they need a man to prove to the world that they're worth something," says psychotherapist Vera S. Paster, co-author of Staying Married: A Guide for African-American Couples. "If they don't have a boyfriend, then they don't count. Bad men [sense] these women, and they know that they will put up with their bad behavior."
My Comment: Human beings need companionship. The American emphasis on women being strong, independent, and completely autonomous goes against basic human needs and desires. From this misunderstanding flows a multitude of errors.
The typical woman, whom I defined at the beginning of this series, would like to have a man who compliments her unique personality, and who is in possession of the genuine manliness she craves.
Unfortunately, our society has driven authentic manliness and honor completely underground. Contrary to popular belief, manly men are not born... they are groomed. The arts of manliness are taught to them by their fathers, brothers, uncles, and elders, and are reinforced by custom, religion, and law.
The No Nonsense Man, Mr. Marc Rudov, explaining how and why Manliness is a foreign concept to so many Western men writes:
The manhood brand is dead, kaput, and that is no accident. Men, who built the legal and physical infrastructure of this country from scratch, have, over the past 36 years, chosen to allow women to marginalize and overshadow them. It's as though the entire history of men was written on an Etch-a-Sketch and then shaken until erased. Maria Shriver, wife of The Terminator, has proclaimed America a woman's nation, and she is right. How pathetic...
... Men are uncomfortable confronting women as peers, because they believe — wrongly — that males are more sexual than females, that kowtowing for sex is a prerequisite. Women, naturally, exploit this male ignorance to the hilt.
Result: Men reflexively buy drinks for women, propose marriage on bended knee, assume fault in every dispute, and rubber-stamp almost every piece of anti-male legislation (think VAWA). This is manhood? ...
And in one well crafted paragraph, Mr. Rudov gives us both the problem with Western man, and how he can right himself:
... these behaviors, ironically, defeat manhood. They are substitutes for real expressions of manhood: standing up to women, disagreeing with them, saying no to them. Their fear of being rejected in the bedroom is so great, yet so unfounded, that men would rather live in a gynocracy and mourn the death of manhood than reverse this sad situation.
... Men must change their views of themselves and of women, and begin treating women like peers. Equality means equality. The Constitution states nowhere that women have special rights or privileges or protections, yet men keep granting them — each time destroying the manhood brand.
The writer has captured the essence of why today's women, many of whom desperately crave someone to share their life with, choose to remain single, or roll with the "Bad Boys" and the "Thugs" that most love to hate.
Faced with a drought of authentic manliness, and denied socially acceptable ways to secure such a man (through traditional marriage and courtship rituals), there is nothing to prevent her from going home with "That Playa Pimp" that many of us like to look down upon.
But as the saying goes: Don't hate the Player... hate the game!
Getting back to the Ebony article:
Still other women tend to fall into the superwoman trap, mistakenly minimizing the badness of the man's behavior and believing that he can be changed or redeemed by their good love. Dr. Paster bashes the thought. "It's wishful thinking," she argues.
In many cases, the law of opposites attract applies for the "good girls" who crave a little excitement in their lives and who feel that the "bad guys" are the only ones who can satisfy them.
These "good girls," who have done all the right things for the majority of their lives, are seeking a taste of the wild life without compromising their own sense of goodness. In fact, these women are attempting to live vicariously through the socially unacceptable behaviors of their men.
"A `good girl' is a woman who has followed the rules all of her life; she's been taught to go along with the status quo of what everyone else thinks she should do, be and want," says Dr. Stovall. "These women have not had an opportunity to be who they are, so they are attracted to the men who rebel against the rules, and they live vicariously through them."
Dr. Paster adds that women who have spent their entire lives pleasing others are more likely to be attracted to "bad guys."
"Being a `good girl' means you've had to forego a lot of your natural instincts, all in the interest of being good," says Dr. Paster. "Therefore, [with a `bad boy'] you can get the pleasure and excitement with someone who hasn't foregone his instincts, all while [maintaining] your image of being good..."
… Chicagoan Mike Luv, a reformed "bad boy" who is now happily married, says it's easy to understand why some men choose to transform themselves into "bad boys."
"Today's culture shows men that it's okay to be `hard' or `cool,' so some guys put on a cool act to make it seem like they're bad, because most often it's bad guys and `players' who get all the women anyway," Luv says.
Let's take a minute to review that last sentence. Why is it that these bad boys get all the women? Could it be that the majority of these men have rejected the feminist party line? Are these the guys that refuse to obey the letter and the spirit of feminist legislation and education? Do bad boys get all the girls because they offer something that 80% of today's feminist friendly men don't have?
Now what if the majority of men in this country were to awaken one morning with their manliness mindset switched fully on? What if the typical man knew what honor was, or if they really knew what women wanted and expected from them? What if law and custom supported manliness as a virtue and a strength, instead of regulating it out of existence?
Would the irresponsible bad boy, competing in the marketplace of love, have a snowball's chance in hell?
If men were in full possession of their manliness, and were proficient in the Old Skool techniques of interacting with their women, and if society adopted marriage and family life as Public Policy instead of the Feminist Friendly regime we live under now, then I assert that the Playas would have a hard time finding women willing to go their way.
Tha Pimp game would then be a small subculture living within the greater society that emphasizes marriage, family life, genuine manliness and authentic womanhood.
Moving back to the article:
.. Dr. Spivey says that sometimes "bad boys" are truly bad, but most often they are just vulnerable men wearing a mask of masculinity and aggressiveness to attract women. He explains that when it comes to love and sex, all the world's a stage, and both men and women are role-playing. He adds that the "bad boy" and "good girl" image is nothing more than an act that he refers to as "the dance."
"I think guys always want to be bad, and the badder the better because women often look for men with that kind of cutting edge," Dr. Spivey states. "But when people put on masks of success or desirability, they start to play games. It's a dance, and both men and women do it; while men are playing `bad,' women are playing `lean and mean,' `not too smart,' or `hard to get.' Men and women have a repertoire of ways to attract and engage one another. Sometimes it can be fun; sometimes it can be painful and destructive..."
Moving on, let's look at this essay from advice writer Lisa Daily:
We've all done it at one time or another. We whine to our friends about the lack of nice available guys, and then, when given the choice between a nice, sweet (safe) guy and a bad boy who makes our toes curl, we invariably go for the toe-curler. The heartbreak-waiting-to-happen. The bad boy.
Doesn't make any sense, does it?
I recently received a letter from a sweet guy who wrote,
"I've been looking for some insights to what women are looking for, because from my perspective, they often go for that which they complain about most! Got any advice for us men?"
Baby, you hit the nail right on the head.
There's good news and bad news for all you nice guys out there. Your day will come. It just may not be today… Most women actually grow out of the bad-boy phase once we hit our mid twenties. Our girlfriends start to couple off, and we start wondering if we used up our nice guy quota in college when were still torturing men for sport. That's where you come in, Mr. Sweet Guy. Because you're the guy we really want.
Here's my advice for all the nice guys:
Remember what we were wearing on our first date. Give romantic gifts on birthdays and anniversaries (and remember flower-mandatory holidays such as Valentine's Day.) Get what we're all about. Let us know what you're all about. Kill any bugs that sneak into the kitchen. Give us your coat when it gets chilly outside. And remember there's a fine line between being a nice guy and being a doormat -don't take any crap from us. After all, you don't want to be a good boy in love with a bad girl.
Please note that the majority of today's modern Western woman uses and abuses all of the "Nice Guys" that would have moved Heaven and Earth to do her bidding. Only when her looks are beginning to fade, and she is tired of the hookups and the late night booty calls, does she consider you, Mr. Nice Guy, to marry up with. In other words, nice guys wind up with sloppy seconds.
Ditto with Single Mothers, the worst event to occur on Planet Earth since the bubonic plague.
Appealing, ain't it?
On top of this, note how our intrepid columnist urges our man to do everything to make her life more comfy, and omits any responsibilities or niceties that our used-goods Partygal should be doing on his behalf.
Sound familiar?
But! Notice that at the very end, the truth comes out. The typical woman does indeed want a man who is stronger than she. While the degree of manliness desired will vary from woman to woman, she wants someone who can stand up to her, and who has confidence in himself as a man, a husband, a provider, a lover, a protector, a Sage, and a leader.
Kowtowing and kissing her buttocks (while sometimes necessary in the case of colossal fuck ups) all the time is the quickest way for a man to find himself Elimi-dated.
Finally, we find an interesting scientific hypothesis from Live Science.com:
Women's Brains Respond to Manly Men
By Sally Law, LiveScience's Science of Sex Columnist
Hormonal women are more responsive to manly men, and Kinsey Institute researchers have the brain scans to prove it.
Women participating in the Kinsey study were shown 224 photos of men's faces, some of which had been "masculinized" or "feminized" using photo-morphing software. MRI scans revealed higher levels of brain response to the masculinized photos, particularly in women who were in the phase of their menstrual cycle immediately preceding ovulation and higher fertility.
The study, published this month in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior, is the first to show differences in neural activation to masculinized and feminized faces. One of the areas of the brain most activated by the images, the anterior cingulated cortex, is involved in decision-making and assessment, which indicates that women are calculating the risks and rewards related to a man with high levels of testosterone.
"Because male traits generally thought to predict good condition and even genetic quality often coincide with less desirable characteristics, women must balance potentially disparate mating priorities," writes Heather Rupp, who headed up the study. "For example, although men characterized by more masculine testosterone-linked traits may be socially dominant and physically healthy, they are also less likely to invest in offspring and to enter into a partnered relationship."
In the battle of nurture vs. nature, however, ovulating women ultimately will choose in favor of genetically strong children. At other points in the menstrual cycle, the feminized faces are preferred, indicating a dip in certain hormones and a preference for men who are willing to stick around and play catch with Junior.
"As is true for most social behaviors, both biology and social influences impact the output of behavior, and likely interact," Rupp told LiveScience.
Games Women Play.
The politically incorrect truth is that women want men who will stand up to them. We also know that they are hardwired to seek out manliness to the degree that their unique personality desires.
We also know that true Manliness nowadays is in short supply. The likelihood that the typical woman will meet a man who is in command of his masculinity isn't that great.
Not surprisingly, womenfolk stay true to their instincts and go with the bad boy, who just so happens to have the Manliness game on lockdown. While the vast majority of men are trying desperately to conform with Feminized expectations of how women say they want to be treated, the bad boys and the pimps have learned, either through direct experience or by word of mouth, that the game is to be sold, and not to be told.
In other words, those who know the whole truth about the feminine psyche, and are willing to do the things necessary to "keep their hoes in check," are out here doing what they do.
With the exception of the Pick Up Artist (PUA) types, the bad boys who are pulling the most women aren't sitting around talking about it... they are out in the field dating and mating like it's 1999. Meanwhile, the Nice Guys are sitting at home, wondering why Cupcake isn't responding to their frantic text messages of love and adoration.
While many condemn "Bad Boys" for playing the game, my thought is that our culture is mostly to blame for the good girl/bad boy phenomenon. When you destroy authentic Manliness and the marriage culture, that opens the door for bad boys and players to (pun intended) slide right in to places (and bedrooms) where they would have encountered a lot more resistance entering into back in the Olden Days. I don't blame the Playas so much because they are reacting to the games women play. Games that, for the most part, are seldom acknowledged in polite society.
Women Want Manly Men, by Hook or by Crook. If they can't find real manliness through the front door, they are going to get it from the back. And the primary way that women confirm you are "Man enough" for the job is through "Testing a man's resolve."
As we go on, I am going to share some information that is controversial and rarely discussed. Please bear with me, as I believe it is vital to our discussion of Discipline to understand why women test men, and how the Enlightened man should respond.
... Women are fully aware of men's problems with communication. Think not? Read any women's magazine -- they're chock-full of information about this! This understanding leads to a little event I call "The Test." The test is a situation (often manufactured) that puts the relationship, and more directly YOU, in a position where you have to act. Not acting (or acting incorrectly) will lead to humiliation, loss of affection or intimacy, looking bad in front of your friends, family, co-workers, etc., or even loss of the relationship.
The test has become so prevalent in our society that it almost always goes unnoticed for what it is. Next time you're watching a movie or a TV sitcom and you see a male character running around like a madman trying to handle something created by his love interest, you're probably seeing a test!
Why would women actually create relationship problems? This seems ridiculous to most men. After all, how would you feel if one of your buddies tried to create problems between you two to see how you'd handle it? You'd just laugh at him! Women, on the other hand, have learned to test their men because they want to be with men that are able to pass tests!
Men don't often admit it, but they know that women control many aspects of the relationship. For example, they decide when you'll first have sex. They'll also decide IF you'll have sex! Men are ready to jump on just about anything. Women have evolved to be more discerning. Thus, along with basic physical, emotional and financial characteristics you must meet, to be truly successful, you must also be able to pass women's tests.
What are tests?
Tests are not problems for you to solve, although they seem that way at first. In fact, to pass a test, you shouldn't try to solve anything. Tests are about how you react, not about a solution. Men often react to tests by getting angry, confused, or just giving in. If you do any of these, you'll either get more tests, or she'll view you as a loser. Either way, you'll have failed her test.
Women want men they can look up to and rely on. If you have good self-esteem and present a strong, confident "male" image, then you're well on your way to passing her tests. In fact, this is really what the test is all about. It's about proving you're the man she hopes you are.
Men are confused about what women want today. I constantly hear men ask things like, "Should I be sensitive?" "Should I be emotional?" "Should I cry?" As well, I hear women screaming that they want their men to be men. It's no wonder that men are confused..."
Confused by design.
Men of old were "schooled" in Tha Game at an early age. The knowledge was handed down from the elder generation to the younger. As I recall, my older male cousins initiated me into the Secret Knowledge in my early teens. And don't get it twisted... both my mother and my grandmother had a lot of advice for me about how to deal with women. Their counsel kept me out of a lot of sticky situations.
And when I was slippin' on my pimpin' (i.e being too nice), I've had ex-girlfriends tell me straight out that, "while I appreciate you being a gentlemen, I need to see your rough side every now and again."
Happily, I've never found myself in a really bad situation with women (i.e. false rape allegations, baby momma drama, domestic altercations that involved police, etc), simply because I exercised good judgment about who I got involved with, how close I allowed these women to get to me, and when to let them go when they were in violation of my code of relationship conduct.
But all of this requires education and experience. And good, bad, or indifferent, the Art of Relationship Conduct is an underground skill kept alive only by the brave few who refuse to bow down to Political Feminism...
For the sake of readability, I'll stop here for now.
My next post will continue with this theme of women testing Men. Bad Boys all over the globe know what Tests are and how to beat them, which is one of the reasons why Good Girls like Bad Boys.
Welcome.
