Dune quotations

"Is it defeatist or treacherous for a doctor to diagnose a disease correctly? My only intention is to cure the disease." - Lady Jessica, Frank Herbert's Dune, page 150

"A pity to waste such fighting men as the Duke's, he thought. He smiled more broadly, laughing at himself. Pity should be cruel! He nodded. Failure was, by definition, expendable. The whole universe sat there, open to the man who could make the right decisions. The uncertain rabbits had to be exposed, made to run for their burrows. Else how could you control them and breed them? He pictured his fighting men as bees routing the rabbits. And he thought: The day hums sweetly when you have enough bees working for you." - The Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, Frank Herbert's Dune, page 172

"My father once told me that respect for the truth comes close to being the basis for all morality. 'Something cannot emerge from nothing,' he said. This is profound thinking if you understand how unstable 'the truth' can be." - from "Conversations with Muad'Dib" by the Princess Irulan, Frank Herbert's Dune, page 204

"What do you despise? By this are you truly known." - from "Manual of Muad'Dib" by the Princess Irulan, Frank Herbert's Dune, page 226

"We came from Caladan--a paradise world for our form of life. There existed no need on Caladan to build a physical paradise or a paradise of the mind--we could see the actuality all around us. And the price we paid was the price men have always paid for achieving a paradise in this life--we went soft, we lost our edge." - from "Muad'Dib: Conversations" by the Princess Irulan, Frank Herbert's Dune, page 249

"Men and their works have been a disease on the surface of their planets before now," his father said. "Nature tends to compensate for diseases, to remove or encapsulate them, to incorporate them into the system in her own way." - Hallucination of Liet-Kynes, Frank Herbert's Dune, page 268

"Arrakis is a one-crop planet," his father said. "One crop. It supports a ruling class that lives as ruling classes have lived in all times while, beneath them, a semihuman mass of semislaves exists on the leavings. It's the masses and the leavings that occupy our attention. These are far more valuable than has ever been suspected." - Hallucination of Liet-Kynes, Frank Herbert's Dune, page 268

"Religion and law among our masses must be one and the same," his father said. "An act of disobedience must be a sin and require religious penalties. This will have the dual benefit of bringing both greater obedience and greater bravery. We must depend not so much on the bravery of individuals, you see, as upon the bravery of a whole population." - Hallucination of Liet-Kynes, Frank Herbert's Dune, page 269

"Paradise on my right, Hell on my left and the Angel of Death behind." - Orange Catholic Bible quotation from Frank Herbert's Dune, page 281

"Give as few orders as possible," his father had told him ... once ... long ago. "Once you've given orders on a subject, you must always give orders on that subject." - thought of Paul Atreides, Frank Herbert's Dune, page 377

"How often it is that the angry man rages denial of what his inner self is telling him." - "The Collected Sayings of Muad'Dib" by the Princess Irulan, Frank Herbert's Dune, page 412

"They'd never known anything but victory which, Paul realized, could be a weakness in itself." - thought of Paul Atreides, Frank Herbert's Dune, page 455

"The Guild navigators, gifted with limited prescience, had made the fatal decision: they'd chosen always the clear, safe course that leads ever downward into stagnation." - thought of Paul Atreides, Frank Herbert's Dune, page 458

Why I laugh every time I hear about women's "oppression"

Man says to woman: "I just lost everything. My family, my house, my job, and now I'm headed overseas to die in war."

Woman responds: "Quit whining you little bitch. I dressed like a hooker and got wasted last night on men's dime. And as I left the bar without so much as a thank you, one of them had the nerve to call me a slut!"

Man responds: "Yeah, that's terrible. Go women's rights."

Just remember, it's not a zero-sum game guys! Even though men and boys are discriminated against in countless social and legal ways, and the only thing women have to complain about is being called a slut when they sleep around, because they face little to no real discrimination and have plenty of legal and social privileges without the same responsibilities as men, the appropriate response to a comment about men's rights is:

"What about the women? This is not a zero-sum game!"

I'm kidding, of course. Women really have just about no unique sexism to complain about. And so when I see someone respond to a men's issue with some form of "but what about the wimminz", such as "oh, but that happens to women too (I won't mention that it's extremely rare in women's case)", or "but what about this other miniscule issue women face", or even "but what about women in other countries", I can't help but laugh at the stupidity of it.

My real point is shut up about women's issues when I'm talking about men's. I won't waste time on women's issues when men have so many more serious issues that must be dealt with, anymore than I would waste time consoling the woman in the above story about being called a slut, when the man is the one who is really in need of help. Misandry is rampant in the western world, while true misogyny, true discrimination against or hatred of women, pales in comparison.

See also the following quotation at Reddit:

"Yeah, or as I mentioned in the AskFeminists circumcision thread, the response seems to be, 'Well, of course it's wrong that babies are being mutilated, but what do you expect us to do about it? We're too busy debating whether Summer's Eve's new ad campaign objectifies women.'"

I guess America's not entirely full of morons

Sad to say I have actually been following one of the worst shows on television, America's Got Talent.

The four finalists came down to 1) PopLyfe, a young band that started out well during the competition but totally butchered two Queen songs in the finale, 2) iLuminate, group of "dancers" who run around like idiots with glowing strips on their bodies in the dark 3) Silhouette, group of youths who create silhouettes with their bodies to the most cliche music and gimmicky slideshows imaginable, and 4) Landau Murphy Jr, a male singer who mimics Frank Sinatra.

PopLyfe was a fairly entertaining performance until they totally butchered Queen in the finale, where their singer couldn't hold a note for shit, so they didn't deserve to win.

iLuminate was an idiotic gimmick from the beginning, but for some reason the judges loved them. It was like watching a bunch of potheads run around with glowy sticks playing at Kung Fu.

Silhouette actually wouldn't have been that bad if their choreographer, an old crone, hadn't made sure that every performance was as cliche as possible. During one of their performances, they formed the words, "Create" and "Imagine", and I correctly predicted the next word would be "Believe". That's how cliche the group is. Not only that, but their choreographer actually tried to manipulate the audience by going on about how some of the kids in the troupe had survived cancer, with your stereotypical "sad story" music in the background.

With all this and the stupid cheesy messages including a superficial attempt at promoting patriotism for this fucked up country, I thought for sure the American public would choose Silhouette, if the pretty colors and flashy lights of iLuminate weren't enough to grab their short attention spans.

Landau is not a great singer. But he mimics Frank Sinatra well enough, he is a kind, genuine man, he isn't a total gimmick begging on his knees for votes, he's got great stage presence, and he doesn't flake out when the pressure is on. He deserved the title.

And somehow, Landau won. I honestly can't believe America didn't vote for one of the flashy, cheap performances to win it. But it does please me that at least one genuine person in this world who's doing it for the right reasons actually got rewarded.

And although the America's Got Talent big wigs like Simon Cowell will surely rape most of Landau's proceeds, at least he won't have to work at a car wash any longer, and his family and children will surely be better off.

Dr. Marianne Legato, MD, on the unique challenges adolescent boys face

At the Male Studies conference 2011, Dr. Marianne Legato, MD, spoke on adolescent boys. She is the founder and director of Columbia College of Medicine’s Partnership for Gender-Specific Medicine, editor of the first text on gender medicine, and founder of the journal, Gender Medicine. Her most recent book is Why Men Die First.

The problem with the adolescent male navigating that difficult transition from puberty to young adulthood is a disconnect in the timing of an abrupt increase in gonadal hormones that occurs in both sexes at the time of puberty, but which for boys produces intense emotional lability, and high intensity feelings, while the part of the brain that develops risk assessment and emotional control and stability, lags well behind. Girls do not have a similar retardation of that center of the brain and therefore are much less likely to incur the kinds of disasters that face adolescent boys until they are 20.

Remember that the next time an adolescent boy is charged with a crime for dating an adolescent girl who is likely at least as physically developed as he is, and more emotionally developed.

Male rape scene in the movie "Super" and why merely verbalizing the word "no" would not have been enough to make it rape

As mentioned at Reddit, here is the clip.

Some people out there seem to doubt that this is rape. It is of course rape because he made it completely clear verbally, through body language, and with his resistance that he did not consent.

Some people still think that just saying "no" verbally is enough to make it rape, but this is false.

A mere verbal "no" is insufficient to prove rape- because sometimes people say "no" when they mean "yes", sometimes people say "no" at first, then change their minds. Sometimes, someone says "no" when their body language clearly says "yes".

Further information at AVfM.

When it comes to how most women communicate sexual interest, no often means yes, or it means maybe, or it means try harder, or it means not now, or it means a veritable grab bag of possible realities other than just a simple and honest “no.”

And here's a video demonstration of the concept, where Han "rapes" Leia.



Of course, if Empire Strikes Back were filmed today, Han would have been castrated and imprisoned for his actions here, and Leia would have spent her remaining years as a "survivor" lecturing stormtroopers - all men - on how they are all rapists.

A comment of mine at Zeta Male

Giving money that people who actually contribute to society earn to people who don't contribute to society is stupid, no matter how you color it.

Big government does equal bad. Small government doesn't equal good but it does equal better.

There is a difference between attempting to correct problems downstream vs. actually solving them. For example, affirmative action in college doesn't correct shit, because by the time people are in college it's too late to help them. Instead, it would be better to provide children good role models - hm, how to do this? Perhaps with policies that promote fathers in children's lives?

The problem is that you are living in a dream world. You don't solve women sleeping around and having children out of wedlock by making men pay for their at-will contraceptives. You solve it by making it shameful for women to sleep around in the first place, and you STOP fucking subsidizing it.

If you think unrestrained female sexuality is good for society, why don't you look at the world we live in and tell me how? How does women having children with "bad boy" men while having the child paid for by the rest of us help society? It doesn't. It ruins us.

And what you've got to understand is, it doesn't matter if it's mean, it doesn't mean it's "misogyny" or that it's not true. We live in a world where facts are facts, whether we like them or not. And the fact is, subsidizing single motherhood is ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE for society.

On misogyny: http://thingsarebad.blogspot.com/2011/07/casually-throwing-out-accusations-of.html

One last thing Zeta. You've still got some false notions about how people really are. I used to call myself a liberal, I know. Everyone's lovey dovey and people are good, right?

Wrong. People fucking suck, for the most part. And most people aren't downtrodden victims, they're people who got themselves where they are. People need personal responsibility, not handouts. The politicians who say otherwise are liars. The feminists are liars. They are doing it to line their own pockets - as always. You are probably a good person, so it's hard to understand this: there are a large number of people out there who are not. They don't care about anyone else, but they certainly claim to. These politicians and bigots who claim to be egalitarians and to want justice are lying. If you are a man like me, who truly seeks justice, and I think you are, you will see through their lies and try to do what's right. And what's right is NOT what these bastard politicians want to fool you into believing. Don't fall for it, man.

I think it's really hard for genuinely good people to realize that others are not so good. We project. And that's your mistake, Zeta. You think that people taking advantage of others by gaming the system are noble like you.

They're not.

And they play upon your good graces.

A more thorough analysis of penis envy, which is really envy of the masculine

Now, these talk shows can't deviate very far from the general female consensus, since they would alienate the target of the show, which we know to be women. What we have here is a monumental slip-up in the human female psyche. What was displayed by Sharon Osbourne, the gleefully entertained mostly female studio audience, and the mostly female viewership that runs into the millions (without a doubt), was an anti-male, anti-masculine animosity that is possibly innately characteristic to women.

It's much more than the phenomenon that we know to be 'penis envy'. 'Penis envy' is a misleading term, as it focuses this innate female animosity for the male onto something purely irrelevant, such as male genitalia. It has nothing to do with male genitalia, and everything to do with the hatred and misunderstanding of male beauty. And no, I'm not referring to physical male aesthetics here. I'm referring to the cold, calculatory exceptionalism and intensity that males, and only males, have demonstrated and continued to demonstrate, over and over, that has led to the immortalisation of the male mind as the pinnacle of human accomplishment.

...

You know, I'm glad this evidence decided to show itself, because it's indicative of a very sick, demented and dangerous side of female nature. And it allows us to remember that, behind their pretty little dolled-up faces can lurk pure, concentrated evil. And that's exactly what men need - constant reminders that all that glitters ain't gold.

What is a mangina?

First of all, I'll say I didn't really care for the term "mangina" at first. It didn't sit right with me because it seemed like a cheap insult. But in fact, it's the best, most efficient way to describe a man who worships women and hates men.

Mangina: A female-pedestalizing, female-worshipping, male-hating male. It's not just a man who hates males. It is a man who also puts women above men in all things, who demonizes men and boys and also deifies women and girls. The term "misandrist" (man-hater) is insufficient to describe a mangina.

I found another good article on what a mangina is here, and I'll quote a few key portions here:

A 'mangina' is a term used by many men's rights activists to describe one of the worst scummy, slimy, little sycophantic creatures in the known universe today.

The mangina is a male feminist, he believes everything the media writes about men, the mangina has a mother fixation and believes that the female can do no wrong.

Manginas are loathsome creatures that would stab their own sex in the back, and smile as they do it, to them all men are rapists, thieves and wasters.

Also from AntZ in a comment at A Voice for Men:

Manginas are often the product of the sexist, brutal, and humiliating upbringing of a feminist mother. Manginas live in a twisted worldview where masculinity is base and vile, and where femininity is divine and pristine.

Emphasis mine.

The term "mangina" is not a slight against a man for not being "masculine enough". A mangina is a man who is a sycophant for women, a man who will flatter and fawn over women while demonizing other men in an attempt to win women's favor. Case in point: David Futrelle.

The simplest definition: A mangina is a male feminist (feminism = misandry + female supremacy). But "male feminist" doesn't really capture the pure vitriolic nature of the mangina, the hatred they have for other males and their pedestalization of women. Therefore, I prefer the term "mangina".

Feminists have penis envy

I used to hear the word penis envy quite commonly when I was a kid, but I haven't heard it in a long time. Why? Because feminists have convinced most people it's "misogynistic". That's pretty fucking hilarious, considering that the entire reason feminism exists is penis envy. Ugly and/or old women who couldn't succeed with men and were envious of men's accomplishments decided they wanted to be just like men, since they weren't very good at being women, and that in order to do so they'd have to demonize real men so it would be easier to take their places.

So let's be honest. Feminists have penis envy. They hate men because we are successful, because we are masculine, because we make the vast majority of advances in science, technology, and the arts. They wish they were more like us, and they are ashamed of it. So they want to destroy men, boys, and masculinity and glorify women and femininity in an effort to make women appear superior to men, so that they need not feel ashamed of themselves.

Feminists don't realize there's nothing wrong with being female and making your own contributions to society without accepting unfair advantages over males. While they claim women are equal or better than men, they demand entitlements and special privileges for women, showing without a doubt that feminists actually believe women are inferior to men and need help to be "equal" to them. Now that's some real fucking misogyny.

Feminism = penis envy.

Video makes you dumb

I'm going to make this brief. When I search for a recipe, I don't want to sit through a 15-second commercial followed by a 2 1/2 minute video to learn the recipe when it would take me 10 seconds to read the recipe in plain text. Am I the only person who feels this way? I've got to think the plethora of videos out there online are catering to a society of human beings that doesn't read anywhere near enough and would rather look at mesmerizing videos.

Maybe I'm wrong, but there are a lot of couch potatoes watching tv in this country when they could be reading.

Use "he", "him", and "his" as gender-neutral pronouns and adjectives

Remember, "he" and "him" are acceptable gender-neutral pronouns and "his" is an acceptable gender-neutral adjective. You don't need to say "he or she", "him or her", "his or her", "they", "them", or "their". Some people (feminists and other idiots) believe that using the male form as default is "prejudiced". It's not- it's just English. These are the same fools who think it's sexist to say "where no man has gone before", having changed it to "where no one has gone before" to placate the gender bigots. Or that "man", the gender-neutral term for humankind, is sexist. In essence, they hate it when males are even perceived to have some role in the accomplishments of the human species, so they need to take the "man" out of "woman" and start calling themselves "womyn".

Using "he", "him", and "his" when a gender-neutral pronoun or adjective is desired is one way you can fight the demonization of all things male.

One-legged wrestler Anthony Robles is an ignoble cheater

I'll just quote someone else on the matter:

You probably have never wrestled before. we aint trying to hate on the dude, but he really does have some unfair advantages. I'll list a few.

1. Upper body strength. The people he wrestles have 2 legs, he is missing a leg there for he has more strength in his upper body. When you are on the ground wrestling upper body strength to control your opponent is huge. the fact is he has the upper body strength that should be wrestling in the 168lb weight class, not 125.

2. In wrestling the 1st thing u are taught is single and double leg take downs. It is impossible to use those moves against him. There are a lot of other moves as well that cant be used against him.

3. Who are u gonna practice against that only has one leg? his opponents cant prepare for him.

Props to the guy for his achievements, but he does have some unfair advantages over his opponents.

If this guy wanted a fair fight he'd be wrestling in a higher weight class at least. Then it would be impressive if he did well. Instead, he prefers to wrestle people way below his proper weight class and take the glory for it. He plays his advantage off as if it's a disadvantage. What an ass. And this is the type of guy who gets glorified on The Tonight Show? Please. Just goes to show once again that the vast majority of human beings are unthinking sheep.

Feminists share a large part of the blame for the bombing and shootings in Norway, for creating a situation where Breivik could not grow up in a home with a proper father figure, due to anti-father feminist laws.

Feminists' hatred for males is creating men like Breivik. But as always, they want to put the blame men.

Why no one should ever describe a man as a "deadbeat dad"

The term "deadbeat dad" implies zero culpability for the mother in having a child, reinforcing the idea that women in these situations are always innocent victims and the men are always evil monsters. That's not fair to men and boys, and therefore no one should use the term "deadbeat dad", no matter the circumstances of the case.

Reminder: Failure to raise the debt ceiling will NOT produce a default.

From pssvr at Reddit:

There has been a lot of repetition of the meme lately that either Congress and the President will agree to raise the debt ceiling by August 2nd, or the U.S. will default. This is flatly untrue. U.S. revenues are more than high enough to cover interest on the outstanding debt. In fact they are more than high enough to cover both interest on the outstanding and Social Security payments, contrary to what President Obama has indicated.

What will happen if the debt ceiling is not raised by August 2nd is that the U.S. will cease to be able to go deeper into debt, and thus outlays will become equal to revenues in approximately real-time. That means cuts will have to made, somewhere. But there is no reason to believe those cuts would have to be in Social Security or in interest on the outstanding debt, unless the administration chooses to make it this way. The cuts could just as easily come from the military, or the DHS, or Medicare, or whatever. This is a decision politicians will have to make, but it does not force a default in any sense.

The entire debate is nothing more than an excuse for Boehner and Obama both to look like their jobs are hard and they are actually doing something.

A message for single western women over 30

Your future: An endless string of meaningless hookups as you attempt to validate your worth by getting filled with a parade of strange cocks until you find a man who is foolish enough to support you. Just remember, even though you are not that interesting and you no longer have any youthful beauty, you still deserve Prince Charming - and that doesn't make you vain or unreasonable! You're a western woman, you are amazing and you deserve it all!

The point: Western women's tendency to make unreasonable demands is deluded and dysfunctional.

I've got it now. Women are special and as a man I must treat them gently, like children, because otherwise they will fear me.

Thank you so much for your help and I'm sorry if my blatant misogyny scarred you, little princess!

Western women are responsible for their hatred of men and boys

In my last post I linked to a comment thread on why western women behave like children. A TwoX poster had asked the following:

Why do I fucking open my mouth when I know I'm being irrational? Am I the only one that has trouble with this? Sometimes when I'm PMSing, or just in a lousy mood, I'll go off on someone (usually my SO) about the smallest of things. Meanwhile, in my head, I know I'm just being crazy and need to wait it out. However, I can't keep my mouth shut for some reason, and no matter how much I struggle with it, it just keeps coming out.

How on earth do I stop, ladies?

My response was:

Because you are a woman and you have no reason to control yourself due to your female privilege. When you behave like a child, you are rewarded. This is why western women behave so poorly- they can, so they often do.

You behave like a child, not an adult, and so you do not have the ability to control yourself like an adult. This is quite typical of western women. You don't take responsibility for your own actions, instead blaming them on men and "hormones" or anything else but your own lack of self-control.

Adults take responsibility for their actions. Children do not. Most western women do not. Remember that, "hormones_suck".

There's your explanation.

And another comment:

We have a lot of power in shaping our behavior. Feminism, however, is based on the idea that women are powerless victims who cannot be held accountable for their actions. Can you see how this might have negative consequences for women?

I want to make a statement regarding western women's quite common loathing for men and boys. You can see it everyday that most women have been convinced men are bad and women are victims, and that women can do no wrong. For a stark example of women's loathing and disregard for males, check out the women and audience of The Talk laughing at male genital mutilation. Men would never do the same to women, and if they had, they'd be fired the very same day.

Now a lot of people are going to excuse women for this because it's what they've been taught. Feminism has taught women to hate men, yes.

But you know what? I've been taught to believe a lot of things growing up, too. I used my noggin to decide what was right. MRAs tend to do that. We don't follow the status quo just because someone tells us to.

I expect the same from western women. Yes, most western women have an underlying loathing for males because it's what they've been taught - but that's no excuse.

So, western women, you are not blameless. I do not excuse your hatred or your disregard. Most of you are guilty of misandry to one degree or another, and there is no excuse for it.

How to Train your Boy

Have him watch the "How to Train your Dragon" movie, so he can learn that it's okay for women to hit men repeatedly.

Let me introduce blonde bitch and main character male.

Blonde bitch punches main character male in the arm.

Blonde bitch: "That's for scaring me."

Main character male: "What, is it always going to be this way, 'cause..."

Blonde bitch kisses main character male.

Main character male: "I could get used to it."

A match made in Heaven!

Let's see the roles reversed. Let's see a guy abuse a woman then kiss her, and have her say, "I could get used to it." After all, the kiss makes up for the abuse.

Right?

Don't forget, this is a children's movie. These people are teaching your children that it's okay for females to abuse males, and that males should like it! How screwed up is that?

Thanks Dreamworks, you asshats.

Stupid Texas vice laws

Texas presents itself as against big government but they have a lot of stupid laws restricting vices in the name of morality (religion, see blue laws).

One example, the Texas Beer Laws: http://www.brewtiful.com/?p=219

Not to mention dry counties and that you can't buy liquor on Sundays. Fuck arbitrary religious "morality".

And Texas, too, has an arbitrary blood alcohol limit of .08 for driving even though they state explicitly in the Texas Driver's Handbook that different people may have different tolerances to alcohol - in other words, some people are not actually impaired enough to affect driving ability even if their BAC is above .08, and that's a fact.

They also have strict laws against "minors" - under 21 - drinking. It's called extended adolescence. So although you can be drafted to die in a profiteering war before you're 21, and you can go to jail for having sex with your 17 girlfriend when you're 18, God help you if you have a swig of beer or smoke a joint!

And of course, any cop can throw you in jail using public intox as an excuse if he doesn't like you if he claims he smells alcohol on your breath, even if you aren't harming anyone.

*Cough* police state.

Sluts are not faithful

If she has had no sexual partners before you, there is a 25% chance of divorce. If she has had 1, there is a 50% chance. If she has had 16, there is an 80% chance.

Source: http://socialpathology.blogspot.com/2010/09/sexual-partner-divorce-risk.html

Remember, guys, women are not like you. You can fuck a bunch of sluts and settle down with a woman who you can be completely loving and faithful to. Most women cannot.

A woman who has had more than one sexual partner has trouble forming an appropriate bond with her husband. She is like to stray. She is not likely to be faithful. Do not have a long term relationship with a woman who has slept with other men, if you want a faithful woman.

Taking away voting rights of felons is stupid and possibly unconstitutional

Taking away voting rights of felons is stupid and obviously ripe for abuse. I did a quick Google search so I could pick and choose some quotations that spell it out, from the discussion here.

So, I was thumbing through (as much as this is possible on the internet) the Constitution and something struck me:

Many states restrict felons right to vote either entirely or until they've completed their supervised release, parole, or some other criteria.

This "involuntary servitude" (aka jail time) is allowed by the 13th Amendment of the Constitution which states:

1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Basically, this is important because it defines the punishment for a crime as involuntary servitude.

Then, the 15th Amendment then reads:

1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Since the Constitution clearly says that prohibiting the right to vote based on previous conditions of servitude, which the Constitution itself defines in the 13th Amendment as punishment for a crime, State laws prohibiting the right of Felons (or any other criminals) to vote is Unconstitutional and should be overturned.

I think this poses a danger for democratic systems. There becomes a political motive to moving people into the non voting class by setting up felony laws with a political component.

For instance if we made a law that not going to church a felony, only church goers could vote to repeal it which means it would never happen. Its a somewhat absurd example but I only mean to illustrate the mechanism we should guard against.

Anyone convicted of drug sales or significant possession has committed a felony and if never allowed to vote it virtually guarantees that most supporters of changing drug laws are unable to vote to have them repealed. If such laws are unjust they are self ensuring so long as enforcement is effective. Any potentially unjust law that results in a felony makes those most familiar with its injustice unable to actually vote to change it. Its a system that can easily serve tyrant and injustice.

Laws like those against murder theft or assault are in no danger of being overturned based on the votes of felons alone and to be honest I doubt many murderers or thieves would even support overturning such laws so long as they are not currently incarcerated as they don't really want to suffer from those crimes themselves.

Why isn't this obvious to everyone? Oh yeah, humans are stupid.

Powerful piece over at FRS on women's fear of men (thanks feminism)

She fears me on the elevator, and that's just fine

Feminism is a hate movement #1

Feminists will tell you feminism is about equality for everyone and that feminists speak out against anti-male laws and discrimination, however, when you bring up male issues and ask why there are no feminist organizations helping to find a positive solution they will tell you that men should go solve their own problems.

Men are solving their own problems with help from women. One of those problems is how feminism hides its misandry in order to avoid any scorn from the general public. Not every individual feminist is a bigot but feminism is indeed a hate movement and the more feminists let the misandry of their core beliefs slip, the more people will realize this.

The superficiality and hubris of today's pop singers

Way too many singers out there rely on their looks for success and give no credit to the rest of the band. John Mayer, for example, was largely successful due to his looks, and it isn't "John Mayer and the dynamic duo" or "The John Mayer Band", it's just "John Mayer", even though there are several other musicians supporting him. That's hubris.

Maybe I'm picking on John Mayer a little bit because of his misandric song, Daughters, as mentioned in the comments in an article on Carrie Underwood's misandric song, Before He Cheats.

He's not alone. Most of the shitty superficial pop singers today are like this. Bunch of wanna-be divas.

Google Science Fair 2011 winners: all girls, zero innovation, empty buzz words

Google Science Fair 2011 winners.

All girls.

A fellow at Reddit/MR asked whether we should give Google the benefit of the doubt for choosing three girls and mentioning "girl power". I can't imagine an article about "boy power" if three boys had won.

Let's analyze these results. They gave the age 13-14 prize to a girl who basically just cooked chicken with different marinades. Meanwhile Luke Taylor from South Africa did the following:

With this in mind, he embarked on a project to help robots understand commands written in natural human language. He limited design and testing to a prototype robot called Tribot and used only a basic set of instructions. The resulting application, SIMPLE, analyzes and translates English sentences into C-code. It also compiles and downloads them, as well as assisting users via prompts that request required information to program the robot.

I wonder which was actually more deserving. This kid's a genius, and the girl is... a decent cook?

I mean just look at what the boys did versus what the girls did. The girls did very simple experiments, nothing innovative, no new technology, while the boys created new things and tested new hypotheses. http://www.google.com/events/sciencefair/finalists.html

It's just an indication of the stupidity of our culture, where we discourage innovation (what boys do best) and encourage rote memorization for indoctrination purposes (what girls do best). It wouldn't surprise me if the "girl power" thing was a motivator for the judges too, though.

And look, the finalists in the 17-18 range were all boys except for the one girl, who again did a simple experiment. The boys, for the most part, developed innovative technologies. And so the girl wins.

You'll also notice that the three girls did projects on carcinogens/environment/cancer which are nice juicy catchphrases today, the kind of crap the general public, and naive little girls, eat up. Meanwhile the boys actually tended to do projects on meaningful, complicated stuff, requiring innovation and a great deal of talent, rather than just focusing on cancer and environment buzz words.

Of course, the girls are rewarded for eating up the propaganda, while the boys are the ones actually pushing the boundaries of science.

Today you are rewarded for conforming, not for innovating. For creating waste, not value. It's true in the corporate world, government, and apparently the Google Science Fair. And women are really good at value destruction - HR, non-essential public sector jobs, and worthless science fair projects.

edit: I just noticed that each winner will receive the following prize: "A personal LEGO color mosaic (one for each team member, to build her/himself)". Yikes! I sure hope the instruction booklets are clear, since although the innovative, creative, logical, and spatial cognitive ability of the winners has not been demonstrated, they sure know how to perform rote tasks! I hope they don't struggle too much before they call in their brother or dad (stepdad?) to put them together.

additional edit: After some discussion at reddit/mensrights, I have the following to say: The people who advance technology are the innovators, not the followers. These "winners" are followers. Several of the boys who did not win are true innovators and will contribute more than these "winners" ever will, guaranteed. A society that rewards people who won't contribute shit to this world over the ones who will is not a good one.

Casually throwing out accusations of "misogyny" is misandry

After posting a link to Ferdinand Bardamu's article on the Rebecca Watson meme at Reddit/MensRights, I noticed something.

Some Redditors seem to think that attacking someone's actions or views is "misogyny" - as long as that person (presumably) has female genitalia.

Misuse of the word "misogyny" is a form of chivalry, as it shields females from being criticized, a privilege males are not granted. The very act of using "misogyny" incorrectly also reinforces in the audience the improper use of the term, making it more likely for members of the audience to make the same mistake, and making it even more difficult to criticize women and harder to combat misandry. Perpetual misuse of the term "misogyny" has led the average person to interpret criticism of a woman as misogyny, especially if the critic is male.

Thus, using the term "misogyny" in this way IS an act of misandry.

Misogyny is the hatred of women, plain and simple. Ferdinand is not trashing this creature, who happens to be purportedly female, because she is a woman. He is trashing her because she's a bad person.

Is Ferdinand being mean? Sure. Call him a big meanie butt if you want. But to claim his piece is misogynistic not only is a lie but is also quite misandric.

Note how I have expressed doubt regarding Rebecca Watson's sex twice and also referred to her as a "creature". This was a demonstration of being MEAN. It is not MISOGYNY.

You might ask yourself who started misusing the term "misogyny" in the first place, allowing the twisted definition to propagate in our culture and thus barring all criticism of women. Could it be the same people who claim that anyone who criticizes feminism is a misogynist?

What being a feminist means to me

A poster at TwoXChromosomes asked, and here is my reply:

Feminism is a sexist power movement for women at the expense of men, boys, families, and society at large. It assumes men are evil and always to blame, women are perfect and always innocent, and men should be more like women. In short, it is not egalitarian but instead a form of misandry, or hatred of males, seeking special privileges and entitlements for females.

This is easily demonstrated by what feminism has actually done and not the platitudes regarding equality. For example, even though only 40% of college graduates are male, feminists don't care. They'd prefer to focus on getting more women into college in STEM fields even though women are simply not as interested in STEM as men are. This demonstrates that feminism seeks special privileges for women and girls at the expense of men and boys.

Feminist advocates are also well known for falsifying statistics in order to push their hate movement onto the rest of us, such as the lie that 1 in 4 women on campus are raped and the lie that only 2% of rape accusations are false. Feminists ignore all the issues men and boys face, even the ones that feminism has directly caused, except where convenient to appear to be about equality. Due largely to feminist campaigning, in the courts today men who are accused of rape, domestic violence, or child abuse are assumed guilty until proven innocent, and the "family" courts routinely destroy good men based on feminism's lie that women are better parents and that men are always to blame.

For a movement that truly is egalitarian and doesn't require lies to sustain itself, see http://www.reddit.com/r/mensrights

On the "Move Over" law

http://www.kxan.com/dpp/news/local/police-look-for-move-over-law-violators

Sometimes you can't move over to another lane (because there are CARS there). Sometimes you shouldn't slow down to 20 MPH under the speed limit (because there are CARS behind you).

When I see a police car on the side of the road I always try to move over and slow down to the speed limit, which is reasonable. REQUIRING that I slow down to 20 mph under the speed limit OR move over is STUPID, as in many cases this simply is not a SAFE thing to do.

By all means, penalize the jackasses who drive by going 80 mph in a 60 zone in the far right line. But don't penalize me for driving safely.

Texas drivers are terrible in general and selfish. I always let someone in when they're trying to change lanes, within reason. Most Austin drivers don't seem so courteous.

Besides, most of the speed limits posted on the highways in Texas are far too low - when they should be 70, they're 60. When they should be 65, they're 55. I'm sure plenty of people have been ticketed for driving safely but technically being over the arbitrary and silly speed limits.

In Texas, unlike in Michigan, it seems to be generally safest to drive faster than most other drivers, above the speed limit, and in the far left lanes, in order to avoid some asshole rear ending you. This is much safer than driving 5 or 10 under the speed limit in the far right lane, but technically it's illegal because I'm driving over the speed limit. Though from what I've seen, Houston is a lot worse than Austin in this regard.

Now if the cops are going to start ticketing people for driving safely and courteously even if they cannot slow down or change lanes when an emergency vehicle is on the side of the road, we know their priorities are fucked up.

If there's not enough REAL crime in Austin to justify the number of police we have, then we should have fewer police officers.

It seems Redditors don't care for the Austin police:

Fuck the police, and fuck the APD, in particular. Worthless, tax sucking pieces of shit.

The general public's definition of "misogyny"

Misogyny (noun) - Definition: Holding women accountable for their actions.

http://www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/ik7ne/ive_finally_found_a_tampon_that_fits_my/c24j0ta?context=3

It's pretty stupid to base the tampon you buy on how fashionable and cute it is, rather than how well it functions.

This is why when women got the right to vote, politics started being more about how attractive you were than whether you actually got anything done.

And here we are, on the verge of governmental collapse. It only took women less than a century to fuck it all up.

Awesome article regarding masculinity and misandry at A Voice for Men

The damage to masculinity can be seen in the efforts to extend its isolation and confuse and vilify its identity. This is repeated in criminal, civil and family law, higher learning and academia, politics, sports and media. The male has achieved what is better defined as landed immigrant status and taxation without representation. America has become the land of the female home of the slave. Amidst the calamity of a fashion sensitive selection of a masculinity, the practitioner male who is selecting should realize there is only one central question he must answer. Who will this masculinity serve, himself or everyone else?

...

What we are doing to young males is pathologizing their gender. We are subtly planting a neurotic, overanxious confusion that can only migrate to rage fueled by social betrayal. The same could be said for girls when they are later in life labeled as a bitch for displaying aggressive behavior. The difference however is one does not suffer the violence of the state when misunderstood. By the time we introduce gender modifying tactics it is already too late, the child has already conceptualized his identity. We are simply undermining his understanding and ability to express his role, particularly if we remove his father as a role model, or if that role model is damaged by alienation.

...

Male role models however understand the potential for a successful exchange by applying chivalrous actions and are able to illustrate to younger males its value for personal gain. I am reminded of a young man who following the teachings of his mother to protect women, intervened unsolicited on behalf of a woman in a bar, he was hospitalized in a coma, suffering a head trauma. Her teachings did not include his safety or self-worth. Additionally a nephew who on the street admonished a man for the way in which he spoke to his partner and was answered by two blows to the head, the second blow from the woman. Clearly there is a difference between preaching masculinity and teaching masculinity.

Women's lust for "hot guy" stars

One of the reasons I didn't respect many women growing up was because most of them were superficial slaves to their "gina tingles", which is verified by the fact that you can hear a cacophony of horny screams every time a "hot guy" star is on TV. When an attractive female star is on stage, you may hear cheers from the men, but you don't hear them screaming lustily like complete animals, genitalia engorged with blood.

With women, on the other hand, you can hear the distinctly female cheers of lust overriding everything else. They cannot control themselves, and plenty of them get sopping wet guaranteed.

Not attractive, ladies. Get a little modesty, eh?

And remember, it's not "misogyny" if it's true. :)

This is why I laugh every time I hear that men are animals who just want sex, and women are angels.

Here's an example of women's unabashed horniness being excused, and women in the crowd cheering her on:



That this short of shit is excused and encouraged as all forms of male sexuality are demonized is pathetic.

From BinaryShadow at reddit/mensrights:

It's also perfectly fine for the women in the audience to cat call like he's a piece of meat. Had men done that to an attractive woman they would have been warned and then escorted out the premises (if she wasn't "offended" by them. If she was they would have been arrested).

Tell the FDA their Draft Guidance on NDIs is Bad for Consumers

On July 1, the US Food and Drug Administration issued draft guidance for complying with the New Dietary Ingredient (NDI) notification protocols required by the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA)—seventeen years late.

The biggest problem is that this guidance will create such huge barriers for supplement manufacturers that it will be much more difficult and expensive to produce them. But of course, that means consumers would either have to pay much more for nutritional supplements, or else risk not being able to buy them at all if the manufacturer deems them too expensive to produce.

No, we don't need more government control regarding the things we put in our bodies that actually help us, especially when they the FDA allows dangerous drugs like Ciprofloxacin on the market unchecked.

Men, don't sleep on the couch

I think a lot of guys have been brainwashed by the media that in a heterosexual relationship with cohabitation, they should be the one to "sleep on the couch" if there is an unresolved argument of some sort, even if the woman is at fault.

Fuck that, and fuck the media for bombarding us with shit like this that makes us think it's noble to be a doormat for a woman.

First of all, there's no reason anyone need sleep on the couch. A queen size bed has more than enough room for two people to sleep in it without touching, if an argument leaves you feeling icky at the thought of cuddling with the other person.

Second, if anyone's going to sleep on the couch, it's not going to be me, it's going to be her. It's my bed, and like I already said there's no reason anyone needs to sleep on the couch. If she doesn't like it, she can sleep on the couch or get the fuck out.

It's especially important not to bend your will to a woman by sleeping on the couch when you know she is in the wrong. Giving into her in this way only rewards bad behavior and will encourage more disharmony in your relationship as she tries to see how much she can get away with. She will also lose more and more respect for you because nobody likes someone who doesn't stand up for themselves, especially when it's a man.

Adolescence is bullshit

From a comment at Inmalafide:

http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200703/trashing-teens

This guy wrote a book about how artificial a category “adolescence” is, and how treating people who have gone through puberty as if they are still children leads to all sorts of unintended consequences that have huge ramifications for the rest of society, i.e. more violence, isolating teens into a peer culture away from adults, laws preventing teens from taking any responsibility, sometimes into their 20s. I think of how miserable I was in high school, and a lot of what this guy says reflected my own alienation at that time…anyway, it will make you think about what kind of society you want to create for yourself as you get older.

Drug abuse is a symptom of our society's dysfunction, not a cause

http://www.inmalafide.com/blog/2011/05/09/the-true-nature-of-drug-abuse/

The second is that drug abuse is a symptom of our society’s dysfunction, not a cause. While there will always be a minority of addicts in any population, widespread substance abuse is due to the fact that reality for most people is so awful that they’d rather construct their own artificial realities with the aid of illicit substances. Spare me the lectures about how our quality of life is higher than our parents’ generation – the truth is that most people are aimless, lost and unsatisfied with their lives. For a populace with no purpose for living, no hope for having good friends or a meaningful job or a significant other to love, any reality is better than the one they’re condemned to. Basically, those who become addicted to alcohol, or marijuana, or heroin are addicted for the same reasons that people get addicted to Facebook, or World of Warcraft, or playing Angry Birds on their iPhones – reality avoidance.

I was born in America and lived there 38 years and now live in Asia. China is better than America. Japan is better than America. Thailand, Cambodia and even Laos are better than America and so is South Korea. Can’t speak for India. People who think America is the shit are usually poorly traveled and/or do not know what freedom is and deliberately wish remain ignorant and stupid (hint: freedom isn’t getting groped by morbidly obese TSA types). Funny that I have never had to endure those TSA monsters anywhere but the “land of the free”. America sucks and needs to die with whatever pieces that come out hopefully making it a great place again. Throw a dart at world map and chances are the place the dart hits is freer in real terms than is the U.S. provided you actually define freedom as being able to mind your own fucking business without constant interference by government types.

Nominations for persons of the day

My nominations for persons of the day after a few hours at the driver's license office in Austin, TX:

- Obese women who sit next to you and brush up against you until you move then giggle as their friend takes your now open spot.

- Government officials who provide insufficient funding for drivers license offices, with an outrageous shortage of parking, resulting in long waits and inability to park.

- Greedy landlords who tow cars in nearly empty parking lots with insufficient signage.

- Greedy towing company owners who charge exhorbitant fees and are perfectly willing to tow whomever they can get away with.

Selfishness and greed are humanity's strong suits. This is not a world for honorable, decent men.

Yes, I made a mistake by parking where I parked, but I didn't see the sign and I wasn't hurting anyone's business because the parking lot was nigh empty. If the government provided enough driver's license offices with sufficient parking or made renewal easier and less frequent I wouldn't have had to park down the street in the first place, of course. And if anyone - the landlord, the employee who saw my car, or the person who towed my car - had some fucking common decency I wouldn't be over $200 poorer.

Bravo, you got me, a naive soul in an unfamiliar neighborhood just trying to get his fucking driver's license. Congratulations, and I hope you enjoy your soon-to-be-worthless cash payment, because the dollar won't be worth shit in a few years.

Lesson learned. Compassion is dead. Near everyone will screw you over to fill their own fucking pockets and save their own asses, from the government pigs who spend money on misandry and getting rich rather than providing a functioning government service, to the employee who calls in a tow on a car in an empty parking lot to save his own ass and the people doing the unscrupulous towing.

I'll remember this when the shit hits the fan (the coming collapse). Don't think I'll stand idly by then while you try to screw me over, 99% of you bastards. I may be just a complainer and a bit of an activist today, but in a different world where evil bastards aren't protected by the government, I won't sit quietly by. And there are a lot of others like me out there.

Thank you for the lesson. It was a much needed reminder of why things are bad- human beings are generally rotten.

As I suppose is expected, the reviews for Austin Express Towing aren't very good, but it does confirm their unscrupulousness and that of the business owners who contract with them: http://www.yelp.com/biz/austin-express-towing-austin-2

Seems like J & J Towing is even worse based on these reviews: http://www.yelp.com/biz/j-and-j-towing-austin-2 Here's a quotation from a gal named Micaela:

This morning now marks the FOURTH time these criminals have towed my car illegally. ILLEGALLY. But what am I to do? They hide behind the law, but in reality what they have done to me is grand theft auto.

Anyway, yes, I made a mistake. But:

1- The government fucked up in the first place and contributed to my need to park in that spot.

2- The cost for my "infraction" is far too steep.

3- You shouldn't be able to move someone else's car that's been there for half an hour if it's not causing a serious immediate problem or harming your business. It's theft and extortion, and it's wrong.

In the wild west this type of shit would be settled with guns. You take a guy's horse because he left it tied to your tree out in the middle of nowhere for 15 minutes and someone's going to get shot. And nobody will be dusting for fingerprints.

More of Micaela's thoughts from her yelp review:

I wish there was something I could do to shut them down.. But know this, if ever there is an arson fire at J&J.. it was me.

Soon I think there's going to be a lot of people breaking bad against the assholes of the world:

Misandry kills (thanks government/media)

Misandry and feminism kill many innocents, including men, women, and children. From the families it has destroyed, to the war deaths it has caused, to the men who have committed suicide after losing their livehihoods, to the children growing up in single mom homes leading to a life of crime, and the men and women who are victims of hostility from the opposite sex due to feminism's gender war.

So government/media, please shut the fuck up about tobacco deaths (so you can tax smokers and fill your pockets), drunk driving deaths (rare as hell compared to death's from misandry, and it's not really "drunk"/impaired driving anymore, it's "the cops are going to try to nail you in any way they can whether you're impaired or not" driving), and pretty much anything else until you pay attention to the greatest problem the western world faces.

Misandry.

I don't want to hear another fucking word about Casey Anthony unless it's an analysis of the reasons why a woman very likely just got away with murdering a child and falsely accusing her father and brother of child sexual abuse, highlighting the chivalry and misandry still present in the American courts.

I rarely pay attention to the mainstream media these days because they continue to babble on incessantly about meaningless drivel while ignoring the real fucking problems. And that's just the way the government likes it - keeping us ignorant and easy to control.

Poor DSK

Perpetual false rape claims keep a man in jail and out of power. That's the "justice" system today.

Relationship Advice for Men or How to Find and Keep a Good Woman

This article is intended as an introduction for western men on how to find and keep a good western woman.

First of all, you have to understand that a great deal of western women are not good relationship material - many are extremely selfish and dysfunctional, and it's because our culture has reinforced these traits in women. If you disagree with this you are in denial and I suggest you wake up if you ever want a happy life with a woman.

With so many women today being unfit for relationships, it's difficult for men to find a good woman, and men are in danger of settling for a woman who is "good enough". This is extremely dangerous, especially when these men start thinking about marriage.

Why? Because marriage is not what it used to be. In traditional marriage, divorce was extremely rare. Nowadays, half of all marriages will end in divorce, and the vast majority of the time the divorce is filed by the wife. It's called Marriage 2.0.

In summary, modern marriage is a raw deal for men, and a great way to end up destitute and not allowed to see your children.

However, there are some things you can do to avoid a terrible outcome.

Option 1: Avoid marriage altogether. If you wish, have sex with women, but don't settle down. "Game" will help in being successful with women as well as protecting yourself. Roissy is a great source for "Game" information. Although you avoid the pitfalls of marriage with this choice, there are still many dangers, such as the risk of false rape accusations, which can happen to anyone.

I'm not a big fan of this choice because I've grown bored of casual sex, I don't like catering to women to get them to like me, and the risks of pregnancy and false rape accusations are very real.

Also, a lot of men want children someday, and the standard way of doing this is through a monogamous relationship with a woman. (Though this isn't the only way.)

Option 2, and this is the most important section of this article if you want a lasting relationship with a woman: a) Choose a good woman and b) know how to keep her. Men today haven't generally been taught either of these things. We're told that women are sugar and spice and everything nice, and that if a relationship fails it's always our fault; we are not taught how to spot or avoid bad women. In addition, the media and society tell us to be nice, subservient boys who cater to women's every wish, and women will love us - but this is not at all what women want in a man.

Just look at almost every teen dramatic comedy - some insecure, overly romantic guy confesses his true feelings to an aloof popular girl and she magically falls in love with him over time. In the real world, the snotty princess leads the insecure guy on while she has sex with the quarterback. And guess what, the media isn't doing young men any good by teaching them that they ought to pursue snotty princesses in the first place, because they don't make for good women.

One of my favorite articles on how to find and keep a good woman is Avoiding the Fate of the Average Married Chump by Hawaiian Libertarian. If you read nothing else, read this article.

And here is a good article from Dalrock regarding "gaming" your wife, as well as a set of questions you should ask any prospective wife.

I realize that I've left out a key component in Option 2: In order to keep a good woman you must "get" her in the first place. If you aren't naturally good with women, you'd be wise to educate yourself on how they tick, and that means reading up on "Game" and evolutionary psychology. I linked Roissy above, and I'll recommend him again. Also, here is an introduction to "Game": Men's Liberation Through "Game" by Delusion Damage, and a reading list to get you started: Mailbag: The Literary Canon of Game by Ferdinand Bardamu. If you're already married or in a long term relationship (LTR), try Married Man Sex Life.

A century ago, when the divorce rate was less than 5%, it may have been enough for a man to simply have a job and be a good man, in order to keep a wife. Today, things have changed so drastically that if you don't have LTR game, you are opening yourself up to a world of hurt.

I will do an article on "Game" (and its flaws) in the future.

Finally, here are some of the things I've gleaned from these articles and my own experiences, regarding finding a good woman.

Things to think about when evaluating a woman for a long term relationship:

- How does she treat family? She will treat you this way in the long run.

- What's her relationship like with her father? If it's not good, neither are your chances for a good relationship with her. Also examine the relationship between her mother and father.

- How does she treat service people? She will treat you the same.

- If you were to lose your job and become a cripple, would she stay with you through it all and support you? Would you do the same for her?

- How many sexual partners has she had? 0 before you? "Only" 25% chance of divorce. 1 before you? 50% chance of divorce. 16 before you? 80% chance of divorce. Source.

- What are her friends like? Do they complain about their men all the time? Do they go out to get drunk all the time? She will very likely become her friends, especially if she defends their behavior.

Now, for anyone who reads this and still thinks the best way to find a good woman is to look for the first moderately interesting woman who talks to you and then cater to her every whim and beg for her attention, here is a guide for you.

Dr. Paul on the "bitch double standard"

http://www.avoiceformen.com/2011/07/01/dr-paul-on-the-bitch-double-standard/

DSK is innocent of rape (as was obvious from the get-go to anyone who doesn't automatically believe rape liars)

Dominique Strauss-Kahn is Innocent, and Nafissatou Diallo is a Liar!

Dominique Strauss-Kahn's innocence was obvious to me from the beginning because the rape liar's story made no sense at all.

It was obvious to several others as well, but far too few. Another reason thing are so bad? Because most people believe even obvious rape liars like Nafissatou Diallo.

Also see the Dominique Strauss-Kahn Round-Up at FRS, including a link to an article at the Wall Street Journal victim-blaming DSK. Here's a quote from the WSJ article:

People like Dominique Strauss-Kahn or Anthony Weiner, who want to skate along the edge of responsibility to the public they serve and the excitements of private temptation, should probably retire to private life where they can take their chances with nothing more than private reputation.

Tell Congress to oppose the "Ten Strikes" bill

Women are bitches

At least that's what Norah Vincent, a woman who lived as a man for over a year, has found:

... they seemed incapable of seeing any new man as an individual. Worse still, they seemed to transform each new man, benign or otherwise, into the malignancy they were expecting him to be. They tended to see a wolf in every man they met, and so they made every man they met into a wolf-even when that man was a woman.

Not surprising really. The women who were hostile to me made me mad, and that made me want to be hostile to them. I can’t imagine men in the same position not reacting the same way. And so the self-perpetuating cycle of unkindness and discontent would go on and on, feeding on itself. These women were mostly hostile in the first place because they felt that men’s bad behavior had made them so, and the men they met behaved badly because hostility breeds contempt.

http://aleknovy.com/2011/06/28/men-who-criticize-women-are-unemployed-fat-and-socially-retarded/

All in all, it seems like women are a lot meaner and more evil than men, on average, and they are the instigators in the gender war. Men by default treat women well - it's only when women treat them badly first that they treat women badly. Women, however, treat men badly from the beginning due to their self-centered ways. It's probably mostly because women are allowed and encouraged to be bad, however, by both men and women.

Godwin's Law is bullshit

It's okay to compare evil people to Hitler. Feminists, for example, are very much like Nazis.

edit: I want to clarify that Godwin's Law is not in itself bullshit, but that my whole point is that Godwin's Law trivializes real injustices by insinuating that bad things that happen are meanginless because they "just ain't as bad as the Holocaust".

The rights of men, which have been spit on since the dawn of time, are fucking important, regardless of Godwin's law.

History is not what you think it is

From Delusion Damage:

History is not what you think it is. History is whatever those who survive decide they want to say happened. Those who kill themselves never come out looking good… unless of course they leave behind some friends to sing their praises.

The bigger the city you live in, the more you respond negatively to stressors

http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/229486.php

Maybe it's because in the modern world we get used to everything being handed to us, to everything being easy, to always having food and drink on hand when we want it, etc. So when things don't go right, we aren't prepared for it, and we don't think it's fair because we are so used to getting what we want, and so we overreact.

Look at the things I complain about, for example. I wouldn't have the time to complain about them if I spent all my time searching for food and gathering wood for the fire, and with sheer survival to worry about I would shrug off the injustices of the world pretty swiftly. I'd get used to dealing with stressors in a positive way, and it would be good for me.

As a man, I'd also be much more satisfied in that I am fending for myself and successfully dealing with challenges more often, rather than just having everything handed to me on a silver platter, causing me to wonder what use I am to anyone in the first place.

The modern world leaves people unsatisfied and unable to deal with the real world properly.

Another great article from Human-Stupidity

To Justify Our Moral Judgments, We Invent Victims Even if There Are None

Moral paucity

The moral paucity of the drug cartels is no different than the moral paucity of the politicians, the judges, the prosecutors, and the police who enforce misandry or the CEOs of corporations that screw the little people.

It's human nature... for some people.

"Mainstream sensibilities are the problem. How the fuck can we hope to solve that problem by appealing to compassion and decency where it does not exist?"

Paul Elam makes a point in response to the comments at the Wikipedia thread I linked to earlier: http://www.avoiceformen.com/2011/06/24/mainstream-acceptance-is-for-losers/

"You are subsidizing people to fail in their own private lives and become more dependent on the handouts"

From the video here: Latest Feminist Triumph: Black Family Finally Destroyed A good read, too.

Yes, the government incentivizes and subsidizes the destruction of the family (and therefore society as we know it). And what happened to the black family is happening to everyone now.

Women's poo privilege

I've noticed that quite a few bars on 6th Street in Austin have no enclosure around the shitters in the men's restrooms, but my fiancee tells me she hasn't even seen ONE shitter without an enclosure in the women's restrooms.

Just because I'm a guy doesn't mean I want to take a shit on a toilet and have someone walk in as the turd drops, with my legs spread eagle baring my fucking cock and balls at him. And it's not like these are all dive bars with bathrooms falling apart - a few of them were rather pristine.

Though I suppose that for a woman, a shitter is a pisser too.

Sometimes, misandry can be funny.

Woman found guilty of genocide and rape

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-13507474

It's not the first time, of course.

I can't recall her name but there was a rich lady who kidnapped, tortured, and murdered a bunch of young girls a few centuries back in Europe. I can't find her name because every Google search turns up results about men raping women (of course).

Not to mention all the women who do bad things every day. If you spend any time at r/MensRights you'll soon realize women do a lot of really sick, twisted shit to men, all the time. Women seem to have a great capacity for sadism.

On violence

Simple fact: violence is neither inherently wrong nor useless.

Wikipedia sucks

http://www.avoiceformen.com/2011/06/24/the-organized-silencing-of-a-man-publicly-burned-to-death/

The basic assumption at Wikipedia is that if the media isn't covering it it's not worth paying attention to - which is utterly stupid. And the vast majority of Wikipedia editors who buy into this charade are utterly stupid too. They pick and choose Wikipedia rules to enforce what they want to include in articles. Reminds me of the selectively enforced legal system.

Internet DUIs

From DemandProgress:

The MPAA and RIAA have convinced companies like Comcast, AT&T, and others to voluntarily create a "Three Strikes" policy -- yes, that's really what they are calling it. CNET reports that your Internet service provider will respond to online file sharing with censorship tools like:

"Throttling down" your Internet bandwidth and speed;
Limiting your access to the Web;
Controlling what websites you are allowed to visit;
And requiring you to attend pirate school to be educated on copyright law.

Well, we already do the same sort of things with DUIs - which don't require that you are actually intoxicated, only that a faulty breath test shows your blood alcohol concentration may be at an arbitrary level that is deemed illegal. You get your license taken away or restricted, and you're required to attend a session to cure you, because it's assumed everyone who's had a beer or two and driven is an alcoholic, and psych majors need jobs.

Because the government will continue to seek more and more control unless and until it all collapses, the passing of such laws as the "Three Strikes" policy to restrict people's freedoms is inevitable.

Police must be held accountable

There are too many stories out there where cops fuck up either inadvertently or intentionally (example). In either case, they must be held accountable just as anyone else would. Negligence is not a fucking excuse. Kill an innocent kid? Go to jail for many years like any other man would.

I'm also tired of seeing cops break the law routinely, such as when they speed... to the donut shop.
