I’m so looking forward to this!
Man, this website has opened my eyes so much, it almost brings me to tears. I will reduce the time i spend listening to mainstream media because its not about news anymore, its indoctrination.
Glad the site has been of benefit.
Great to see the latest part up; I love that quote “If you can give everything of yourself to a woman, you’re a pretty shallow person.”
Thanks and I agree about that paraphrased quote.
I have not come across your site before and I looked at the latest post. I note from it that you may have disagreed quite strongly with some of the parts of this film yet I surmise that you have taken the parts you agree with and discarded the rest. I wish more people (and particularly more men) would do the same.
Dammit! You’re making it really hard for me to determine which is your best video of this series, and this one is very damn good. Outstanding work. Well worth the wait.
Cheers. Feedback always appreciated.
Apart from the fact that women want to be controlling, and fear any lack of access or influence from them onto the men in their lives, another aspect I liked was when Simon and Andrew were talking about how you shouldn’t ever give 100% of yourself to a woman.
That’s very true. This is because for women Loyalty is a one-way street. Women aren’t really expected to be Loyal, even to their husbands. Sure, they take wedding vows, but current divorce laws practically shower them with rewards for disloyalty and disobedience. Why should she be Loyal any man?
Because she’s definitely not going to give 100% of herself to you, not unless she possesses a strong religious upbringing. How can anyone devote oneself fully to a person who isn’t expected to be responsible for herself let alone be loyal?
I told a friend of mine who asked me to be his Best Man at a wedding. I learned that his bride-to-be was not going to take his last name. I told him, flat out, “Cancel the wedding, and dump her.”
He thought I was joking. I was completely serious.
I said, “She has proved she isn’t loyal to you, but to herself first. A person like that is going to cause you grief.”
He didn’t take my advice.
Three years later, he’s now divorced, and paying alimony, and can only see his baby on weekends.
Erin Pizzey talked about how men may be fearful of women in relationships on some deep level, but women also seem to be fearful of men’s relationships with other men. Men gain strength from close camaraderie with other men and this is being stripped from men more and more each day.
Unfortunate man you speak of, but his is, of course, a very common situation. Your advice was correct and you showed yourself to be a great friend by taking the risk in telling him what you thought.
As I said in Divorce and the Toxic Woman:
“A great many women are greedy and grasping – heady with legal powers and having the malice to use them. Often, these women refuse to take a man’s name on marriage, but are happy to take his money on divorce.”
I stand by that and the proof is all around us.
Men’s friendships are very important, because we back our friends up. We watch each other’s back. A friend has a perspective that often is disassociated with whatever feelings we may have about a situation. My example where I told my friend Zach to cancel the wedding and dump her when he told me she wasn’t taking his surname was from a perspective of both experience and that I’m not clouded by emotions toward his prospective bride. I actually liked her up until that point.
Friends network, they share information, pool their resources, and are essential for moral support. Just as important as it is for women to have friends, men must have them too.
My friends tended to think I’m a bit too strict with women. I think that my advice was chalked up to a presumably stupid attitude that I had since the Army, when I realized how much power women have these days. After Zach’s divorce, that attitude dramatically changed. Now, they all talk to me about women.
Of all the many excellent videos on this site, this one takes the cake!
I’m one of those old-timer MRAs that’s been mumbling and grumbling for decades. Men are now slowly coming together, including many disenchanted and newly-awakened young men that are eager to “do something”. But they’re not sure what.
Anything they say that begins with ‘the government should …’ may be discarded.
Anyone who believes that Republicans, Democrats, Labour, Liberal, Conservative, Christian Democrat or Monster Raving Loony Party has the answer should also be discarded.
This video gets to the root of the problem – Male psychology.
When men start to understand how they’ve been “oppressed” (more powerfully than women ever were) by subtle conditioning, they may not “rebel” but they most surely will react – and it’s already underway.
The reaction will be seen in various ways.
First, the quicker ones will take steps to protect themselves from harm. Many more are engaging in Ghandi style passive resistance.
As awareness grows, we will not see a violent revolution. Instead we will see men reclaiming their greater natural independence that women don’t have access to. They will simply start walking away from situations that are not to their liking.
Feminism will not end with a bang. It will end with a whimper.
Thanks for your thoughtful comment.
I, along with many others I know, have wondered what the end of Feminism will look like. Whilst I think that you may well be right about a quiet revolution by men, rather than a dramatic one, my concern is that the reason for the change may not be identified and quarantined.
In other words, I think that it’s essential to explicitly call out Feminism and gynocentrism as the problems that led to disaster. I don’t want these things to be ‘let off the hook’ or evade overt scrutiny. I want the head of Feminism on a pike for all to see.
So long as that happens, perhaps the manner of the downfall is secondary. Whatever the cost, it will be more than worth it to rid ourselves of such a crippling ideology.
Have you read ‘The Manipulated Man’ book by Esther Vilar?
I saw you put a picture of that book on one of your videos….
such a great book, really opened my eyes to this whole ‘female matrix’.
I think it’s a must read for every man.
Yes, I read it. Good in most parts. Very funny. Not quite made it onto my recommended reading list. I might read it again and reconsider. Used the book cover in the film Misogyny 1
I’d like to emphasize and point out one of the many briliant parts from the book:
“Of all the qualities of man, his curiosity is certainly the most impressive. This curiosity
differs basically from that of woman.
A woman takes interest only in subjects that have an immediate personal usefulness
to her. For example, if she reads a political article in the newspaper, it is highly likely
that she wants to cast a spell on some political-science student, not that she cares
about the fate of the Chinese, Israelis, or South Africans. If she looks up the names
of some Greek philosophers in the dictionary, it does not mean she has suddenly
taken an interest in Greek philosophy. It means she is trying to solve a crossword
puzzle. If she is studying the advertisements for a new car, she is not doing it with a
platonic interest in its technical features, but because she wants to own it.”
My whole life I have been astonished how uninterested women are in most topics I liked to discuss because of my interests.
Women (and I don’t mean 100%, but the vast majority..) are really mostly interested in superficial stuff or stuff that gives them an immediate advantage like an advatage to get something…
conversations with women were almost always mind-dulling and drove me crazy.
And I’m talking about women that go to university and study for BA.
I might have to check it out. Thanks for the recommend.
You should read it- it really changed my life (in a good way).
Her second book is also good:
‘The Polygamous Sex: A man’s right to the other woman’
but you need to read ‘the manipulated man’ first
cause it’s the basics to the ‘female matrix’.
Another great book is:
The great female Con by ANDEY RANDEAD
Great video as usual. The discussion about porn is so true and humorous.
