Dalrock had an interesting post this morning – Black Fathers Don’t Matter – that mends nicely with a topic I was poking at in Obesity Culture:
While HHS (Health and Human Services) says any man currently shacking up with mom counts as the father, the Census says any man currently shacking up with mom counts as the father so long as mom says so. Either way, fathers clearly can’t matter that much to the US government if distinguishing between the actual father and the man currently banging mom isn’t important.
There are other ways we can tell that fathers don’t matter (and therefore Black fathers don’t matter). Under our current family system fathers are a sort of deputy parent. Just like a sheriff’s deputy serves at the pleasure of the sheriff, a father in an intact family serves at the pleasure of the mother. Our entire family court structure is designed to facilitate the removal of the father should the mother decide she no longer wants him to be part of the family unit. How important can fathers really be, when we have a massive and brutal bureaucracy devoted to helping mothers kick them out of the house?
What Dal is pointing out here has a far broader implication than simply how various governments define fatherhood. Many critics of my defining the Feminine Imperative like to think it’s a work in conspiracy. However, as I’ve explained before, there really is no need for a conspiracy; the Feminine Imperative has no centralized power base because feminine-primacy is so ensaturated into our collective social consciousness. It needs no centralization because feminine social primacy is literally part of women’s self-understanding – and by extension men’s understanding of women and what women expect of them.
Thus, on a Hypergamous social scale we see that Protein World’s male focused ad gets no such vandalism. The message is clear – It is Men who must perform, Men who need to change themselves, optimize themselves and strive for the highest physical ideal to be granted female sexual approval. Women should be accepted, respected and expected to inspire genuine desire irrespective of men’s physical ideals.
[…]
On more than a few occasions I’ve made the connection that what we see in a feminine-primary societal order is really a reflection of the female sexual strategy writ large. When we see a culture of obesity, a culture of body fat acceptance and a culture that presumes a natural evolved order of innate differences between the sexes should be trumped by self-impressions of female personal worth, we’re viewing a society beholden to the insecurities inherent in women’s Hypergamy.
A feminized, feminist, ordered social structure is one founded on ensuring the most undeserving women, by virtue of being women, are entitled to, and assured of, the best Hypergamous options by conscripting and conditioning men to comply with Hypergamy’s dictates.
I’m quoting this again here because, in light of Dalrock’s observations, it’s important for men to really understand that the power struggle women claim to be engaged in with men has already been settled on a meta, social scale. When a father is whomever a woman says he is, that’s a very powerful tool of social power leveraging.
- A father is anyone a woman/mother claims he is
- A father is legally bound to children he didn’t sire
- A father is prevented at great legal and social effort from access to DNA testing of children he suspects aren’t his own
- A father is legally responsible for the children resulting from his wife/girlfriend cuckolding him
- A father is financially obligated to the support of children that he didn’t sire or he had no power in deciding to sire
These aren’t just examples relating to men’s lack of power in parenting; these are examples of determining the degree of control a man can exercise over the direction of his entire life. From Truth to Power:
Real Power is the degree to which a person has control over their own circumstances. Real Power is the degree to which we control the directions of our lives.
The inherent insecurity that optimizing Hypergamy poses to women is so imperative, so all-consuming, to their psychological wellbeing that establishing complex social orders to facilitate that optimization were the first things women collectively constructed when they were (nominally) emancipated from men’s provisioning around the time of the sexual revolution.
Ensuring the optimization of women’s biologically prompted Hypergamy is literally the basis of our current social order. On a socio-political scale what we’re experiencing is legislation and cultural mandates that better facilitate Alpha Fucks and Beta Bucks.
Driver had a good comment from the last post that illustrates another aspect of this feminine-power consolidation (emphasis mine):
“All the “feeling good about your body” that a fat woman can muster is NEVER going to be an aphrodisiac or a substitute for having a great body that men are aroused by.”
It’s funny how women are very attracted to a guy who works out, eats rights and takes care of his body but they fully expect men to love them (or be attracted to them) for “who they are” – thin or big. You would think that these overweight women would get the memo by now but women (and more of them) keep getting bigger each year.
Feminine-Primary Social Doctrine is the Extension of Women’s Hypergamy
In a feminine-primary social order women presume, without an afterthought, that they are entitled to an attractive guy who works out and meets or exceeds women’s very stringent and static physical ideal. At the same time they expect an entitlement to absolute control of that attraction/arousal process regardless of, and to the exception of, any influence or difference in men’s control of that process. And they expect this without any thought to meriting it beyond appeals to a nebulous and inflated concept of their personal self-worth.
When we consider the present, ambiguous state of sexual consent laws we begin to understand the latent Hypergamous purpose those laws serve – absolute consolidation of women’s Hypergamous strategies as the motivator of any sexual encounter.
Furthermore, they expect an entitlement, either directly or indirectly, to the material support and provisioning of men for no other reason than they were born female.
Any deviation from this is on the part of men is met with a cultural reprisal designed to convince or coerce men to accept their inevitable role in providing those entitlements to women. When those social contingencies fail, or become played out, the Feminine Imperative then appeals to legal legislation to mandate men’s compliance to what amounts to women’s social entitlement to optimized Hypergamy.
Legislating Hypergamy
From the Alpha Fucks side of Hypergamy this amounts to socially shaming men’s sexual imperatives while simultaneously empowering women’s short-term sexual strategies and fomenting men’s societal acceptance of it (i.e. the Sandberg plan for Open Hypergamy). This is further enforced from a legal perspective through consent laws and vague “anti-harassment” legislation to, ideally, optimize women’s hypergamous prospects.
When we read about instances of the conveniently fluid definitions of rape and harassment (not to mention the pseudo-victimhood of not being harassed), this then turns into proposed “rape-by fraud” legislation. Hypergamy wants absolute certainty, absolute veracity, that it will be secured in its optimization. And in an era when the only restraint on Hypergamy depends on an individual woman’s capacity for being self-aware of it, that Hypergamy necessitates men be held legally responsible for optimizing it.
Even the right for women to have safe and legal abortions finds its root in women’s want to mandate an insurance of their Hypergamous impulses. Nothing says “he wasn’t the right guy” like the unilateral power to abort a man’s genetic legacy in utero.
Feminist boilerplate would convince us that expanding definitions of rape is an effort to limit men’s control of women’s bodies – however, the latent purpose of expanding the definition is to consolidate on the insecurity all women experience with regard to optimizing Hypergamy.
The Beta Bucks insurance aspect of Hypergamy is evidenced by cultural expectations of male deference to wives’ authority in all decision making aspects of a marriage or relationship. And once again this expectation of deference is a grasping for assurances of control should a woman’s Hypergamous choosing of a man not meet her expectations. This is actualized covertly under the auspices of egalitarian equalism and the dubious presumptions of support and feminine identification on the part of men.
Beyond this there are of course the ubiquitous divorce, support, child support and domestic violence legalities that grossly favor women’s interests – which should be pointed out are rooted in exactly the same Hypergamous insecurity that her short-term Alpha Fucks mating strategies demand legislation for.
As Open Hypergamy becomes more institutionalized and made a societal norm by the Feminine Imperative, and as more men become Red Pill aware (by effort or consequences) because of it, the more necessary it will become for a feminine-primary social order to legislate and mandate men comply with it.
Going Mainstream
I’ve addressed this before, but I’ve never done politics on TRM. I will never do screeds on race or multi-culturalism or religion on TRM for a very good reason – it pollutes the message.
We now are seeing the results of this pollution as the manosphere is attacked from both sides of the political spectrum.
I’ve given this example before, but if you put Gretchen Carlson and Rachel Maddow on the same show and confronted them with red pill truths and Game-awareness they would eagerly close ranks, reserve their political differences and cooperatively fight for the Feminine Imperative.
This is the degree to which the Feminine Imperative has been saturated into our western social fabric. Catholic women in the Vatican may have very little in common with Mormon women in Utah, but let a Mormon woman insist the church alter its fundamental foundational articles of faith with regard to women in favor of a doctrine substituted by the Feminine Imperative and those disparate women have a common purpose.
That is the depth of the Feminine Imperative – that female primacy should rewrite articles of faith to prioritize women’s interests.
Religious doctrine, legal and political legislation, cultural norms, labor and economic issues; all are trumped by the Feminine Imperative. All have been subverted to defer to the Feminine Imperative while maintaining a default status of victimhood and oppression of women and women’s interests necessary to perpetuate that covert decentralized power base.
It doesn’t matter what world view, ideology or political stripe the opposition holds; men, masculinity and anything contrary to the feminine-primary social narrative will always be a common enemy of the Feminine Imperative, and both liberal and conservative will climb over one another to throw the first punch if it means defending women and defending the feminine social order by proxy.
This is why anything even marginally pro-masculine is vilified in mainstream society. Anything pro-masculine is always an easy, preferred target because it’s so hated, so incorrect, in a feminine-primary context that it can unite people of hostilely opposed political and ideological differences.
It’s my opinion that red pill awareness needs to remain fundamentally apolitical, non-racial and non-religious because the moment the Red Pill is associated with any social or religious movement, you co-brand it with an ideology, and the validity of it will be written off along with any preconceptions associated with that specific ideology.
Furthermore, any co-branding will still be violently disowned by whatever ideology it’s paired with because the Feminine Imperative has already co-opted and trumps the fundaments of that ideology. The fundamental truth is that the manosphere, pro-masculine thought, Red Pill awareness or its issues are an entity of its own.
This is what scares the shit out of critics who attempt to define, contain and compartmentalize the manosphere / Red Pill awareness; it’s bigger than social, racial, political or religious strictures can contain. It crosses all of those constructs just as the Feminine Imperative has co-opted all of those cultural constructs. The feminized infrastructure of the MSM that’s just beginning to take the manosphere seriously enough to be critical are discovering this and trying to put the genie back into a bottle defined by their feminine-primary conditioning.
The idea that one of their own, whether in a liberal or conservative context, is genuinely Red Pill aware and educating others of that awareness is unnerving for the Feminine Imperative that’s already established strong footholds in either ideology.

They are all in fact agents of the Feminine Imperative and have always been as intended by design from the inception of each.
Men were conscripted into monogamy (including serial monogamy) by the Feminine Imperative to at least mitigate the masculine sexual imperative and women now attempt to mandate elimination of the masculine sexual imperative.

@Rollo –
“women being the most environmentally at-risk sex needed a social collective to support each other (tribalism), nurture young and cooperatively sustain each other.”
It can be argued that men experientially receive the shittiest end of the environmental risk stick. Not women.
Men are more likely to die in combat, receive far less support, die on average 7 years younger, make the greater sacrifices, provide the greatest effort and receive the least consideration & the most hatred.
@Not born this morning
“the least consideration & the most hatred.”
Good that brings sheviers to my core…
Lineage in western societies is mostly parallel, as distinct from tribes which were either matriarchal or patriarchal. But, the competition and hatred is mostly between males: derogation of competitors. Western society does not accept the in-laws as allies, does not accept the brother-in-law as a helper, therefore, the man often does not return to his family space after marriage and finds a new living space. Today, however, women remain attached to their family and the man moves to the matriarch’s geographical space, with exceptions.
@Not born …
Ran across this awhile back … reinforces what Rollo said and just plain makes sense. I booked marked it
https://avengingredhand.wordpress.com/2014/03/06/womans-primordial-fear/
Rollo –
It can be argued that men experientially receive the shittiest end of the environmental risk stick. Not women.
It can also be argued that this has ALWAYS been the case because in ancient tribal cultures, it was the male who conducted most of the hunting, and tribal warfare, etc. Men have always been at greater risk than women. The male was subject to the greatest environmental risks and often in defense of the female.
“It can be argued that men experientially receive the shittiest end of the environmental risk stick.”
Because men provide the first line of defense for the more vulnerable women.
The front passenger seat of a car became know as the Suicide Seat, because a disproportionate number of fatalities occur to its occupants. Engineers spent years examining the designs of their cars trying to figure out why before the reason was found:
The seat is disproportionately occupied by women. Women are disproportionately frail.

Interesting read, but nothing new.
Not so long ago, women who behaved like feminists and “sluts” do today were burnt at the stake, branded with such marks as “The Scarlet Letter”, banished, etc.
Males are often excluded from the family at some point, or excluded from females by all male institutions and by mate/daughter guarding. Today the exclusions persist in the form of age restrictions, social class restrictions, status restrictions, etc. Some males do inherit social capital and cultural capital along with their attractiveness or neotany and family wealth all of which mitigate social exclusion. Neglect may therefore be a form of benign abuse to which conditioning modifies their disgust.
Sun Wukong, If you’re going to assert that basic biology and evolution prove that basic biology and evolution are not responsible for psychological and social structures, then you’d damn well better back it up I back it up with simple facts that I thought was obvious to even a casual observer.

I’ve seen this theory floated in the manosphere before and it has some merit. Demographic trends indicate that Muslims and Mexicans are overtaking white populations. What you are ignoring is that second generation immigrants often assume the dominant values of their nation. The second generation may not adhere to the family values that served the prior generations so well. A new generation of progressives may be born!
Nobody here is myopic about the power of feminism. Feminism is an idea which has upturned ancient patriarchal societies in the span of a few generations. Respect your enemy.
@Sun Wukong
I agree that there is an evolutionary basis to feminism’s rise. Womens’ innate hypergamy and collectivist nature will express itself in one form or another. It may be feminism, chivalry or some other nonsense. Whatever shape it takes, the guiding principle is to compel men to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of a woman.
One does not need to be born feminist to be socialized in to femcentric behavior. There is no part of society immune to that influence anymore. Whether “feminists” have children or not does not matter. Girls are born with hypergamic tendencies which society increasingly celebrates and encourages, and boys are socialized to accept femcentric thinking.
Tom – “second generation immigrants often assume the dominant values of their nation.”
Except the Muslims. It seems the generations born outside of Muslim dominated regions are more easily radicalized and likely to reject the culture of the host country.
Where you see assimilation in the West is either other westerners, which includes Latin America, or some Asian groups as Western values and social structures, although different, aren’t anti-thetical to the culture left behind.

Can I say this? This site is one of the few places capable of making me feel stupid occasionally. It’s fucking great.
Lone Survivor is the perfect example to men reading here to internalize Law 48 and assume formlessness.
Such rigid and cocksure thinking is a huge, brightly painted target of opportunity for the enlightened man to ad to either his harem or his pocketbook.
You are attacked successfully in the traits you model. (money, physique, on and on).
The enlightened player merely needs to plant the seed of doubt, and when you give something to compare/contrast, you ARE losing.
I mean, seriously, how many of you here know that Fourier was an early 19th century French philosopher who is credited with co-inventing the term soclalism and in some circles (yet another topic of debate in the woolly environs of academia) is also credited with first coining the term feminist as well? Or that the interactions and relationships between say a Mary Wolstencroft and other early feminists with early socialists like Fourier were quite common. Feminists from the start saw themselves as part of the tradition of say a John Stuart Mills, or Bentham or Condorcet or others, which is… Read more »

Free Speech on Campus: ‘F*ck Masculinity’, ‘Fight the Straightness’, ‘Fuck America’
“At the street intersection and on the band stage, protesters took turns delivering short speeches and tirades covering a range of topics, including, but not limited to, the following: systematic racism, sexism, rape culture, the riots in Baltimore, microaggressions, Cornell administrators and trustees, Cornell’s occupation of formerly indigenous lands, capitalism, Israel, the NYPD, oil companies, patriarchy, whiteness, masculinity, and straightness.”
Masculinity, says one blonde chick on the video at the link, is ‘dehumanizing’.

@ Lone Survivor—“I don’t perform for them anymore, and I don’t play by their rules anymore. I perform for myself, if they want to follow that is great, if not then so be it. And the fun thing is that women who interact with me at work are starting to become attracted to me, to which I simply let it slide as my career has a higher priority than having sex now (like I said, I am in one of the largest Pharma Companies of the world).” Aaron Cleary describes in your video that an excellent girl comes along approx.… Read more »
Tom, I’ve seen this theory floated in the manosphere before and it has some merit. Demographic trends indicate that Muslims and Mexicans are overtaking white populations. What you are ignoring is that second generation immigrants often assume the dominant values of their nation. Look, what’s myopic about fearing feminists is that they are parasites, and so they eat their host. Men won’t play this game. Force doesn’t work to raise families, never has. Commies tried it, the Roman Empire tried it, now feminsts and liberals are trying it. Never works. Just like the Soviets “We will bury you!” in 1950… Read more »
It’s a leap to suppose that demographic change is intentional or even ideological. There are 2 key reproductive strategies that all species follow: r/K selection theory. R-selection posits that a species or population will simply reproduce as many offspring as possible which is what we see in certain human populations: Chinese, Indian, African, Catholics, Conservatives, etc. K-selection is more investment oriented and slows down population growth to focus on supporting each individual. Fast growth and slow growth. What has happened in the 20th century after the population explosion, is depopulation, which actually started in the West in the 19th century.… Read more »

sjfrellc- Your comments posted about your “quality woman” and that you “didn’t fuck up” and that you “kept your eye on the ball” etc, etc, etc… All that reflects and dovetails perfectly into oneitis, a misconception of scarcity, fear of rejection, fear of intimacy, etc. In my early days of becoming aware of the truths written about here, I struggled with a contradiction.

And the few stable families today that still take marriage seriously are hyper-religious, really hate feminists, and propogandize their daughers this way.

@Glenn On the more serious note, you didn’t really give an answer to my question of how the Left/Right national politics are going to help a guy make his individualist decisions on a day to day basis. MRAs have shown that the political game is pretty much a wash for men I my opinion, and I feel Rollo’s view of bottom up change through individual men learning positive masculinity is a valid counter. “Demonstrate, do not explicate” at the personal level that done widely enough would change society in a positive way.

What I disagree about is that where Leftists get the majority of their power. I believe that most of their power is gained thru the media and their absolute control of it. @Rocket — That’s a part, but it’s also the culture creators (TV/movies/music/pop culture) and the educational establishment. Taken together, these three elements (media, culture creators, educational controllers) form a powerful trifecta to sway opinion however it wishes to, and all three are thoroughly and systematically dominated by the left. The advent of the new internet technologies of 2.0 as well have augmented this influence by providing more “always… Read more »

To Glenn “On the more serious note, you didn’t really give an answer to my question of how the Left/Right national politics are going to help a guy make his individualist decisions on a day to day basis.”
As you typed that I was passing a sentence in “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance”. I’m re-reading it after having read it in 1980. The sentence on p. 314 says ” I think metaphysics is good if it improves everyday life; otherwise forget it.
Hah.
You mentioned metaphysics dismissively. Metaphysics is often derided because it is nothing but beliefs and/or religion. Philosophically, however, metaphysics is the analysis of statements about reality which are possible, impossible and necessary. So, metaphysics is a part of everyday life related to what people believe about what is impossible, what is possible and what is necessary. Science plays a key role here is being skeptical of ordinary language use and everyday life. This blog is itself skeptical of the practices and claims of our culture and thus addresses metaphysics.
….And the author was reflecting on how is old self that went crazy (literally) thinking about metaphysics and his new self lets it’s quandaries roll off his back.
Don’t go crazy Glenn. Show us how to use your knowledge for everyday life.

I am also as much a RPer as you’ll ever meet, and Tomassi’s blog is by far the most insightful of all of them, but make no mistake when I tell you in the most explicit language you’ll ever read here or elsewhere: Karl Marx is probably the smartest human that ever walked on this rock… Read more »

OK, Mr. Lone … part II If you follow Rollo’s teaching you will find some very important truths. First is the “N Count” that is very important. I believe (and may be in the minority) that the more sexual partners a woman has the harder it is for her to eventually bond with her mate.

The reason is that marrying a virgin is the best predictor that a… Read more »

Let me repeat a comment I made over at Dalrock on the infiltration of cultural Marxists into our social institutions.
Feminism and equality or whatever was NEVER the goal and the feminists were nothing but “Useful Idiots.” The goal was a “Scorched Earth Policy” to institute the “Long March” through our social institutions all the way to “Year 0.”
Power to the people, Comrades!
TLDR: Communism was not defeated. It morphed into an equalitarianism mindset that dominates our culture.
@Glenn Haha. Glenn is just manic. Sounds like you’re on a lot of coffee, and maybe something else. “Feminists from the start saw themselves as part of the tradition of say a John Stuart Mills, or Bentham or Condorcet or others, which is where socialism emanated.” A learned discourse though. I don’t know much concrete about the origins of feminism, though that’s an area I hope to work more in. But I think the basic connection you’re pointing out is clear for all to see, in the world we live in just as much as in intellectual history. I think… Read more »
@Glenn It’s no accident, the relationship between Mill and Wollstonecraft. Everything good, and everything bad, about conventional liberal ideas today stems from Millian ideas. What I called hedonism is not too far off from utilitarianism; and the connection to socialism is hinted at by the idea of “materialism.” Another interesting connection is Rousseau. I actually haven’t read some of the works that would speak directly to this, but at some higher level of abstraction, Rousseau’s entire idea about the inherent goodness in human nature is a lynchpin of modern political liberalism. It’s not hard to see the connection. If people… Read more »

“Generate positive emotions in your female ABOUT HOW SHE RELATES TO YOU.” How? Pretty simple, actually, though it does require work. You must work on yourself, to become a better spiritual being. That sounds nebulous… what does it mean? It means that when you lay down at night to go to sleep and your inner self speaks to you, that you must learn to abide the desires of that inner voice, and then work HARD to make them real. Maybe you want to be an artist, or a business owner, or a family man, or a scientist, or an academic,… Read more »

“The thing is that we men do not have to perform to women, we have to perform to society and to ourselves. I perform at the gym, at sports, at my job… but not at women anymore. ”
You don’t perform for women, you perform for money . . . for women. Got it.
“Most of the people who hit the gym compulsively are guys who never get laid.”
In order to meet women, a man needs to put himself in a social environment where their are women for him to meet in the first place – gyms can be good places to meet many women. Actually, men that go to gym most likely get with women more often than men that don’t.

It was said that Sandberg “returned” to Washington DC after the death, but others have noted that she was already in Washington at the time of death. The death has raised questions, such as in this comment:
“Sheryl Sandberg has spent the last few years proclaiming women can ‘have it all,’ as long as they had a supportive, devoted spouse like Dave Sandberg.
If Dave Sandberg killed himself, that’s news.”
Well, well…Carly Fiorina wants to be prez. She’s the former chief executive wench of Hewlett Packard who was ranked as one the worst tech CEOs ever. It’s scary folks. Not because she’ll win. But because this type of unbridled narcissism among today’s women is just the tip of the iceberg.
* Just a side note…a little off topic: I saw the trailer for the new Mad Max movie and (as usual) they are inserting a female co-lead character into the film. Mad Max is a lone (road warrior) movie. He does (or did in the originals) run into other female characters during his travels but he (alone) was the driving force behind the success of the past movies.

My last to try and wake you guys up to the centrality of the politics in all of this. The very title of Rollo’s post is a version of a left wing idea. “Make the political personal” is a left wing cry, and is part of why we are where we are at. You see, this forces them to internalize their political ideology and actualize it in their actions and lives. It also means that they have to drop all reservations and doubts, which is very handy when trying to create an activist block that can be easily controlled. The… Read more »

@Glenn, I intended no such thing. The point of the post was to illustrate how the influence of biology expands into a meta-social scale.

You missed the point entirely. Sexuality, families, & men did not come about because of “society”. Sexuality, families, & men made “society” possible in the first place. Do you get that?
