After completely ignoring the destructive effects of the modern marriage on men, she gets some heat for it in comments and then writes a followup that basically says, “oh yeah, umm… men deserve a successful relationship too….”. Her position is that men deserve a successful relationship too, and have rage about not getting it. This author goes a fair bit out of her way to point out and comment on male rage. This completely misses the real point. But my experience with women has left me in no mood to assume that miss was an honest mistake.
Her definition of a ‘successful’ relationship is still, after all, one that leads to a marriage contract with enormously one sided distributions of responsibility, risk and expense to men, and unearned benefits provided by men and enforced by the state. By portraying men as enraged, she can assign men to a class of emotional people who are not thinking rationally as a result that intense emotion, and thus remove from serious consideration anything those enraged men say/write. That’s the arrogance: you are enraged that you don’t have the opportunity to be in the ‘successful’ relationship that you deserve…
Calling it something positive and telling you that you deserve it is a weak and overused sales tactic. I don’t buy horse s~~~ at any price, or in any packaging.
The real point, and the real issue that this author and so many other women seem terrified to acknowledge, is that many men who are declared mgtow, and many more who haven’t even heard the term, have calmly decided that ‘successful’ relationships with women are over priced… and have elected to pass on the option.
A person who is mad about not getting something that they want… is still mad and still engaged in the effort because they are still wanting something. However mad they are, their focus is still on getting whatever it is.
A person who no longer wants something is indifferent. Their focus is no longer on getting whatever it was, and effort to get to the source of whatever it was they may have once wanted has been (calmly) abandoned. All effort and attention has been withdrawn and the focus is no longer on her.
I see these articles written by women all the time addressing male rage, male failings, male this or male that… What I never see is an article written by a woman that addresses having been abandoned and ignored. I never see an article acknowledging that ‘successful’ relationships with western women are vastly overpriced, and advising women on what to do when no man wants to have anything to do with them anymore.
That’s the issue no woman EVER wants to address. Shaming men is denial of this reality. Concern for men is denial of this reality. Redirection is denial of this reality. The way you’ll know if you ever see the acknowledgment of this reality is when you see panic. If you’re not sure wether you’ve ever seen it, wait until the next woman offers you sex and just turn it down. Just calmly say no and watch what happens. She is offering you the one thing she expects to use to get from you all the things she needs, and expects to need.
Just calmly say no and watch what happens.
If you can avoid the trap until you are in your late 40s or 50s, you’ll likely find that your hormones wear off a little and it becomes easier to think clearly where women are concerned. And this is a good thing because you’ll also find that if you have avoided the trap, you have probably also accumulated enough assets to be a really worthwhile target. So you will have many more of these opportunities to say no… and see the result.
Look, it's not my fault that tornado dropped a house on your sister. Now get back on your broom and get your ass out of here... and take your monkeys with you
