First Man Awake

As most readers know I rarely engage in political discourse unless it has relevance to intergender dynamics. This video is an exception. If you need a clear example of a feminist controlled state, this is it.

I actually went through Women’s/Gender Studies course when I was in college. The main reason I took the class was because there were only 2 classes being offered on campus that completed a Capstone, Humanities and Diversity requirement in a single class – Holocaust Studies and Women’s Studies. That’s basically the estimation most women want you to think their ‘sufferage’ is on par with; the Holocaust. I chose Women’s Studies because I basically wanted to put my money where my mouth has always been (literally and figuratively ) and also get inside what popular media, and the feminization that it’s gone through for the last 40+ years, has been selling both men and women. I enjoyed debating these ladies as I was one of 2 guys in the Women’s Literature class.

I didn’t know it at the time, but one of the beacons of positive masculine hope I had back in the days before the internet, before understanding Game and even the term ‘red pill’ was reading Why Men are the Way They Are by Dr. Warren Farrell. It opened my understanding of intergender relations in a way I’d never understood. If I had a red pill moment in my past reading this books was it. It was published in 1986 so the specifics might be a little dated for a modern reader, but for an overall perspective of how our gender landscape has evolved it will always be on my ‘must read’ list for guy just now taking the red pill.

My phone-it-in feminist stepmother and beta-confused father had picked up the book in order to eviscerate it in some proto-SWPL home book club they belonged to at the time. Oddly enough it ended up on their bookshelf after that (replete with my stepmother’s penciled in margin notes), and I remember picking it up in the hope that it would give me some self-effacing insight into how I could be a more accommodating beta schlub for my BPD girlfriend who was slowly eroding the last vestiges of my former Alpha self.

What it did was enlighten me.

Farrell is anything but a rape apologist, I would compare him with the first man to wake up in the Matrix. Most of his insight, research and writing were prompted by his involvement in the early 70’s feminist movement. He even self-identified as a male feminist back then, but it was this experience that brought him to a fuller understanding of the feminine imperative.

Intellectual Lethargy

What offends me about this protest isn’t the actual protesting, but the sheer ignorance behind it. If it were the easily digestible blatherings of Rush Limbaugh they were protesting I could understand it, but Dr. Farrell isn’t even in the same universe. All this is is an example of intellectual lethargy, which is really a shame because I would expect that the young men and women involved in the protest, all students at U of T, would be acquainted with research and critical thinking skills necessary before formulating such strong opinions and visceral reactions.

To be educated takes a constant effort. Most people in modern society simply do not have the time, inclination or motivation to be in any way knowledgeable about more than a peripheral understanding of the world around them. The ridiculously ironic part is that we live in an era when communication of information has never been more easily accessible to us.

Now add to this that we’re expected to be at least somewhat well informed due to this access. Our ego-investments with regards to politics, religion, social dynamics, gender relations etc. all depend upon a belief that we’re actually well informed enough know what we’re talking about and draw our own conclusions. We would have to be, right? It’s expected of us as intelligent human beings.

The truth of the matter is that unless we are immediately benefitted by educating ourselves about a particular subject (i.e. as short term a profit as easily manageable), for the vast majority of modern society, educating oneself is a hobby at best. We live in a fast-food, fast-information society. We can’t be bothered to, or in some cases really afford to, develop critical thinking skills – particularly when they might challenge our own ego-investments. This is why the feminine Matrix flourishes today, it’s easier not to think about things that are counter to our social conditioning.

But we want to be right, and to be right we have to believe that we have these critical thinking skills. In fact our personalities and well being depend upon being correct in our beliefs. This is an age of ego-investment. Ego investments are beliefs we associate with, and internalize, so strongly that they literally become elements of our personalities. So to challenge that belief is to literally attack the personality of the person with that ego-investment. It would make no difference how empirical your evidence to the contrary of that belief might be; you attack the belief and you attack the person. Religion, racism, political affiliation, gender dynamics, social dynamics, world view, all find their roots in individual ego-investments in those beliefs.

Needless to say this has an extremely polarizing effect upon lazy people who’d rather not put forth any effort to objectively educate themselves in ways that would ever challenge their core ego-investments. So we see a factionalizing of people into camps where those ego-investments are reinforced in spite of any controverting evidence. Thus a team mentality evolves; our red team is better than your blue team irrespective of any factor that might be contrary. So long as my team wins and your team loses my ego-investments remain validated. It becomes a clash of who’s ego-investments get validated and any value the “other’s” might have had are never acknowledged.

This is a shame because Dr. Warren Farrell has dedicated his life –most of it spent in the feminized cultural wastelands of the late 80’s and 90’s – to researching, understanding and revealing the uncomfortable truths of intergender dynamics. He’s the godfather of the manosphere that most red pill men aren’t even aware of.

Thank you for making us aware of Dr. Farrell, I’ll be looking into his work. That’s a novel thought: much of the friction in society today is due to personality, or “thinking-style” competition. More and more these squabbles are becoming flimsy, self-interested, indulgent, and not worth engaging in… but there is real danger in ignoring all this. Should the sweep of progress be turned back – for internal or external reasons – we’d all be reminded of what really matters. I hope you don’t mind if I re-post my response buried in the previous topic: These kids look and sound… Read more »

“What exactly did Ferrell say that got them so hot and bothered?

I don’t know if this is the full quote, but this puts it more in context: “If a man ignoring a woman’s verbal ‘no’ is committing date rape, then a woman who says `no’ with her verbal language but ‘yes’ with her body language is committing date fraud.

I don’t agree point by point with allot of things he says-therefore I don’t label myself a “masculinist.” However, it is a decent starting point to counter theory to patriarchy and such. He mentions if women are “sex objects” then men are “sucess objects.” This was written long before MGTOW/Grasseaters… Also Manboobz found some creepy quotes he said about incest.… Read more »

I also saw Warren Farrell lecture at my college (this was back in the mid 90s). At that time his latest book was “The Myth of Male Power”, which was also a “Red Pill moment” for me like “How Men Are The Way They Are” was for Rollo. In “Myth” Farrell essentially pointed out that being a man/”evil conspiracy member of teh Patriarchy” wasn’t all that it was cracked up to be and that women had a lot of unquestioned social privileges. Even back then the various campus feminist professors weren’t thrilled about these observations, but their attitude was to… Read more »

For his part, he said that the “genitally caressing” of children by parents should have red “generally caressing”. In the 70s, however, there were a lot of weird theories about actually molesting your kids as a form of parenting. It’s possible he did say some weird stuff. The thing is, smear campaigns are completely pointless. Warren Farrells ideas are not him, and he is not his… Read more »

Farmer, what I read was that in his research into incest, a percentage, If’n I remember right 8%?, Farrel found that they claimed the experience to be a positive in their life. AFAIK he has never stated that he thinks incest is a positive, he was just reporting the results of his research.

Merciless mockery is most effective for individuals who refuse to fall within your frame and when dealing with an effective opponent in front of large groups. There’s potential for merciless mockery to backfire if it’s not framed properly, but when framed properly, nothing works better. My rule is that before I rip into somebody, I make sure that everybody listening knows that they deserve it. If, for example, somebody calles me a racist, the gloves come off. I make it clear that they… Read more »

It depends on the situation tatereari. Personally I wouldn’t have gone to this protest to yell insults back at these blithering idiots, or if I did go, a smug smirk with a wave on my way to a seat to listen to the lecture seems like the best bet. I agree with you there. But what if you’re a guy who writes for the school newspaper, and you have manosphere type ideas? Ignoring it does nothing. He could write about these people with a combination of solid, sober arguments, but also mix in some biting ridicule, as much as he… Read more »

When I first saw that video a couple of weeks ago it made me cringe. Not that these people are really representatives of our society (look at them….they are a bunch of outcast loser hippies) but it is still scary the way that society ALLOWS them to behave the way they do. The tide is changing. The underground tide is, anyway. If you read the comments sections in blog posts and articles these days you will see that there are often more people on our side of the debate. Not so much on full blown feminist echo chambers, but on… Read more »

Moral relativism and ego-investments aside, if possible, I do believe a lot of what’s written in the manosphere, especially Rollo’s site here, is based on carefully considered argument and principles. At least, immeasurably more than what’s written in the mainstream.

One of the larger scope problems I have is the association of anything critical of feminism being tagged as neo-conservative ignorance. It’s as if anything you have to say that’s counter to the fem-centric narrative by default puts you in the same class as Rush Limbaugh or Mike Savage. I think my political and social perspective is much more centrist than most people would appreciate. I’m too liberal for my conservative friends and too conservative for my liberal friends. So I tend to piss both of them off on a by-issue basis. But when it comes to fem-centrism and getting… Read more »

Warren Farrell was actually on the board of the NYC chapter of NOW in the 70s, I believe—before he began to wake up one day and ask himself whether what he’d been doing and saying, as a prominent male spokes”person” for the feminist view in all its virulence, actally made sense. I’ve read only one of his books, The Myth of Male Power, in the mid-90s when it was new and I was just beginning to learn about all this. I thought it was excellent—a fine job of gathering and presenting a mountain of statistics to explode the feminist picture… Read more »

Yes there are different times to ignore and go on the attack. But you must pick the battles wisely or you will be spending all your time defending yourself. Ignoring is more for preservation. “I don’t care about society that much either anymore, it seems doomed, but I have this desire to see these loudmouthed liars slink away to a corner in shame.” As do I…but I don’t have to do anything to bring about their shame. They can just be loudmouth liars and commit their own suicide. I mean look at those harpies…at best they’ll have an emasculated man… Read more »

Mark Minter- We are doing it. What the manosphere is building is The Core. Any revolution starts with intellectual discussion which builds the core. The PUAs and MGTOWs are the initial fighters. Both of them are voting with their asses both in the political/economic sphere as well as the dating market. PUAs are not giving the (one sided) commitment that the feminine imperative demands and really, nor are the MGTOWs, not that they count to most femifascists. But what is more important is on the economic front. The feminist state requires countless men to shackle themselves to the cogs in… Read more »

This level of preposterous enthusiasm will kill any cause you hold dear in the cradle. Be a man and show your appreciation through imitation and deed, not rah-rah pom-poms and embarrassing credulity before false saviors.

We need men of fierce independence, not starry-eyed suck ups. And Rollo should be the first to tell you that.

That was uncalled for.

I think the writing here is remarkably significant and groundbreaking. And the messiah thing was metaphor for how I see it growing.

A metaphor is a comparison not using like or as if you didn’t know.

The list of comments about the writing on this blog about lives changed is quite extensive.

Excuse the fuck out of me if I note it as important.

“That’s basically the estimation most women want you to think their ‘sufferage’ is on par with; the Holocaust.” But it is; both are politically-driven hoaxes. Sure, women have suffered throughout human history; but so have men, and an accurate “comparison” is impossible, since all the factors are subjective. And sure, a lot of Jews died during that horrible, unnecessary, arranged war (though pretty certainly not the Talmudic magic number of six million), but the “Holocaust” you’re required to believe in (especially you Canadians) is a fabrication. With an agenda. A whole lot of other people died in that war also… Read more »

The way I see it is that what we term ‘red pill’ is being discovered by many more men than those that are part of the manosphere. These blogs are simply a little network of much a bigger cultural movement that is arising simply because our views are sane in a culture that has pushed insanity to the very brink that it defies nature in such a gross manner that only the truly delusional can deny it.

Also in relation to Mark Minter basically worshipped Rollo, I think this can explained by using a Matrix analogy. In the film there were numerous captains that unplugged people, however to each person that was unplugged they seemed to hold the specific captain that unplugged them as some kind of savior. In the film, many of the crew has an undying devotion to Morpheus even though he’s just a small part in a large scale organization. But to that specific crew member he’s their guardian angel. Rollo is Mark’s Morpheus so he holds Rollo in regard to a semi-deitiety. It’s… Read more »

@Matt: Completely correct in his assessment of Vaj. Times like that are when rhetoric and game coincide completely.

In liberal herbs Vaj inspires respect (shows how smart they are)

In conservative betas Vaj inspires fear

In Men, Vaj inspires disgust, and she wants to feel it. You can tell she knows how bitchy she is and is begging to be called on it. With the right words, body language, and tone you could drench her panties in mere seconds.

I didn’t watch the video and have no intention to.

It’s enough to know how the world works. Dwelling in negativity isn’t educational after that – it’s just an indulgence. It’s my choice what I feed my emotions with. If my job in life was to be right, outrage porn could be emotionally useful. But that’s not my job. My job in life is to be happy.
