100% rubbish in my view.

However, I’m glad that you won’t be coming round here any more.

If you do, you will prove my first statement.

@Fifth Horseman

Thank you indeed for those email addresses. Much appreciated. It will save me some work. I will certainly do as you suggested once I have written my piece about the case.

And, for all that you may think the one-liners of shaming are the pith of it, the fact is they are good at it. They are used to a textual medium and they have patience (see above, decades of flaming).

They think (SF is a “thinky” genre). They talk to themselves. If you think the desire to point and laugh (which is what most of the one-liners are doing… it’s not that they are really convinced you have small penes, (look it up, that’s not a typo), and never get laid, it’s that you are so defensive (really… women should tailor how they act to see to it they, “feel good in his hands?” Fuck that noise. I want a woman to be comfortable in her skin. When she feels good to herself, she has all the other things that piece said she needs. If she doesn’t appeal to you, look for one who does; but don’t whine about it, a la, “there are lots of “real” women who aren’t put off by, “real” men. Right. If that’s the case, why the complaining about how women are failing to live up to your standards and desires? Methinks the laddies doth protest too much).

Because you are so defensive on that topic, it’s where they make mock. All in all, the reason people aren’t going to stick around, the reason you will get echo-chamber and drive-by comments ((which is all I’m likely to do) is the stuff you write is small beer.

Once the intial bit of outrage is gone, there’s no steak here; it’s all sizzle (well the Triumph piece is nice, but it doesn’t pretend to educate people on the sexes, so it doesn’t really count to the manifesto of the place). Why in the world should people who think you a trifle dim, a lot reactionary and completely pointless, spend time reading repetitions of the same tired nonsense?

That’s why the traffic will slow. It’s why one or two pieces, every so often, will get a lot of hits; and comments, and then it will go back to the usual sorts of MRA Wankery, with the insular sense of superiority and the lack of any real traction.

But what I DO know, is that I got a life to live, and that includes having a Woman in my life. So, I have to work with what I have in terms of skills, talent, determination and current day tech and understanding. It is, what it is.

As for the whole false rape thing, again, you guys aren’t getting it. That’s coming from a whining place instead of an empowered one. If you got solid Game, you need not worry about getting into such situations, one, because you’ll be much better at screening out headcases sooner, and two, because you’ll be such a good seducer that the last thing on the gal’s mind is calling the cops on you. I mean really, you need to re-evaluate your whole situation, and take a hard, long look in the mirror, if you are that concerned with a gal trying to get you locked up for rape! Let Mike Tyson’s story be a lesson to you-if a Woman agrees to sleep with you, treat her like a lady, even if she’s a Two Dollar Ho. It ain’t killing you to show her a bit of kindness, take her to breakfast in the morning, and kiss her off. But if you’re one of those guys who’s idea of a seduction is to hump the first mentally shaky chick in the bar, while you’re both drunk, then kick her literally to the curb after you’ve hit it, then Hell yea you have to expect her to feel some kind of way about that. It doesn’t matter that she was looking like a Ho, was drunk as a fish, and so on. Its about the simple fact that you don’t have enough understanding that Women, even now in our time, RISK MORE TO HAVE SEX THAN WE DO. And we Men should be just a weebit respectful of that. She’s taking a big chance on you. Show her a lil love.

Dang.

How will a plastic surgeon reduce 50 pounds of fat, add 5 inches of height, make hair lustrous, etc? That is a far more difficult technology than a 3-D/VR hologram with tactile and olfactory interfaces.

And even if what you claim happens (which it won’t), that is still the same effect – an increase in the supply of female beauty, reducing the exclusivity (and hence market value) of it, which thus favors men a lot.
