The fulfillment of your own sexuality is nothing less than your battle for existence. – Pook
If you’ve been wondering what I’ve been doing lately over the past week I took it upon myself to read through the 7,000 word short story “Cat Person” that’s recently gone viral. The author, 36 year old Kristen Roupenian, was also offered a one million dollar book deal to expand the story even further. You too can read the whole thing if you have the stomach, but it reads every bit like the passive-aggressive indirection I’d expected it would coming from a less-than Hypergamously satisfied woman who’s well past the Wall. Rather than craft a concrete article about her own inner conflict (and by association all women’s conflict) of having ‘inconvenient’ casual sex, she thought she wanted, we get an overwritten fiction that sock-puppets herself as the main character.
If this book does publish, trust me, it wont be a new 50 Shades of Grey. Cat Person resonates with women today because we now live in the #MeToo era of moral panic inspired by the same Future is Female outrage brokers who brought us pink pussy knitted caps and the women’s march in the wake of Hillary Clinton’s defeat. I decided to split this series of essays into two parts because at this moment in history we are beginning to see the culmination of the predictions I alluded to in my essay, The Political is Personal. We are seeing, in real time, just how a feminine-primary social order and a growing female supremacism consolidates its power. But as I outlined in that essay, this power is always predicated on the hope of ensuring the largest pool of women are legally and socially entitled to the unquestioned, and unmerited, optimization of Hypergamy.
Any man with a Red Pill Lens reading through Cat Person will easily pick out the social conventions and rationalizations unique to women’s ‘hamstering’ (“Flirting with her customers was a habit she’d picked up back when she worked as a barista, and it helped with tips.”) that the manosphere has been picking apart for almost two decades now. And, like most women, the female readership find nothing inconsistent or conflicting about any of it. Roupenian breezes through the ins and outs of women’s sexual pluralism and the differences between transactional (Beta) and validational (Alpha) sex without so much as an afterthought – and her readers eat it up with the same solipsism.
However, the overarching concern for women about this story is the issue of the newly coined term “enthusiastic consent”. Our poor Margot (the main character and proxy for the author, and ultimately all women) is torn up by a casual sexual encounter that at first she thought she wanted, but later, even after giving the guy the green light to have sex with her, she loses enthusiasm to bang him. Yet, not to be rude or to create an uncomfortable scene, she goes through with the inconvenient, lack luster, sex because it was easier to say yes than to say no.
There are other names for this kind of sex: gray zone sex, in reference to that murky gray area of consent; begrudgingly consensual sex, because, you know, you don’t really want to do it but it’s probably easier to just get it over with; lukewarm sex, because you’re kind of “meh” about it; and, of course, bad sex, where the “bad” refers not to the perceived pleasure of it, but to the way you feel in the aftermath.
Essentially, this shift from Yes Means Yes consent to Enthusiastic Consent ask the last questions in women’s social consolidation of Hypergamy:
“Must I still have to have transactional sex with Betas if all my provisional needs are more or less met?”
“If I’m an ’empowered’ woman, am I not entitled to the sex I want to have with Alpha men that validate both my hindbrain and my ego?”
“Can transactional sex with Betas be used as leverage to extort resources from them at any future date by redefining that undesired sex as ‘rape’?”
Curb Your “Enthusiasm”
The reason I believe that Roupenian’s future book will fall flat is because the viral conversation her short story elicits is about a new terminology that the Feminine Imperative hopes to insert into the public sphere – that of ‘enthusiastic consent‘ being the only legitimate form of consent a woman can give a man. Anything less than genuine enthusiasm (however this is arbitrarily defined by women) is at best illegitimate consent and at worst rape – even if every indicator a woman gives a man prior to, during and after sex says ‘yes’ she still means ‘no’ and, as we’ll see here, it will be incumbent on that man to be an adequate mindreader and sexual evaluator to determine her real degree of ‘enthusiasm’ both in the moment and into the future.
There’s a lot to unpack here, but I wanted to begin with a comment I received last week:
If you read feminist literature, the intent behind “enthusiastic consent” seems to have good intentions. Its based on the following purported beliefs:
- That there is a huge incidence of coerced sex and sexual contact, which is mostly inadvertent rather than malicious. The best way to correct this is to teach men the principles of EC.
- That the idea of a sharp Alpha/Beta divide in men’s sexual attractiveness is a myth propagated by the misogynistic Right. Furthermore, girls and women have a realistic idea of their own SMV and will be attracted to their male equivalent.
Thus, feminists believe a free sexual market will see assortive mating with both men and women being able to get a similar amount of sex. This is why when men complain of the difficulty of getting sex, many women will retort that it must be because they are only chasing “supermodels”.
Look at Charlie Rose, is this a man with any Red Pill at all? Giving shoulder rubs to office girls, showing porn to a couple, this is all high school Beta stuff. But he had a TV show that lots of famous people wanted to get on. Clearly Beta-ized, but a situational Alpha. In my not so humble opinion most of the #MeToo girls are going after former situational Alphas because they turned out to be Blue Pill Beta after all…they feel cheated, and are just so sure that all the other girls got to ride a real Alpha pony on the carousel, so the fury comes out.
The ‘enthusiastic’ consent social push we are just on the cusp of today is the next progression in the larger goal of feminism – removing all constraints on female sexuality while maximally restricting male sexuality. ‘Enthusiastic consent’ will be the raison d’etat for the legislation leading to the outlawing of any form of male sexual expression.
From The Political is Personal:
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.
[…]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.
As much as I’d like to believe that normalizing ‘enthusiastic consent’ may lead to women overplaying their hand, I have to consider how the specificity of defining consent will also redefine past sexual norms and intersexual dynamics; not just among single individuals having loosely defined “consensual” sex, but also married couples and how sex (or lack thereof) defines their relationships. As if the men of today needed one more reason to be wary of marriage and how it will eventually affect their sex lives, now we can add the potential for ‘marital rape’ accusations based on EC (enthusiastic consent) to that list; and all in light of women’s less than enthusiastic response to any of her husband’s advances. God forbid a mewling Beta pouts his way into this grey zone ‘duty sex’ with his unenthusiastic wife.
What were witnessing here is the insertion of college campus consent laws into Marriage 2.0, and as designed its intent is to further disrupt marriage and family. Even in the old books presumptions about marriage a man could expect his commitment to a wife and family meant a plenary exchange of sexual access. But when enthusiastic consent is a prerequisite for legitimizing sexual encounters, anything resembling a woman’s putting out duty sex for her husband, even starfish lack luster obligatory sex is defined as rape.
I got the following comment from last week’s Red Pill Reddit forum repost:
The fundamental driver is removal of female responsibility for her actions, pushing all responsibility onto men. Whatever happens between a man and a woman, women universally agree that the man is to blame for any and all results, including her subsequent regret.
Responsibility used to be on women to say “no” if she wanted to claim rape. This responsibility has been removed. No longer does she have to verbalise lack of consent. No longer does she even have to verbalise actual consent. She can decide after the fact…. years after the fact…. whether her consent was in fact enthusiastic enough, and she can base that on her future feelings. “But did you enthusiastically scream yes?” her friends will ask, which is more than the police or the public will subsequently ask of her.
Women side with women. Whiteknights, weak Betas and naive Blue Pill fools side with women. Everyone agrees women are right and men are wrong.
And this is the intended result: women are not to be held responsible for their actions. They are not to be held responsible at any cost – including the destruction of male lives.
I presented this point in Men and Suicide, but just to recap, on a subconscious level women will always seek to absolve themselves of complicity in men’s personal destruction. This extends from destroying mens lives due to regrets over not optimizing Hypergamy, to any concern over men committing suicide. At present, women are attempting to reconcile ‘bad sex’ with ‘inconvenient sex’ they have in spite of themselves. However, the same absolution of any inherent complicity in this ‘transactional’ sex ends with blaming men for women’s lack of agency or self-moderation:
Bad sex isn’t even necessarily coercive. I’m talking about having a sexual encounter you don’t want to have because in the moment it seems easier to get it over with than it would be to extricate yourself.
Young women say yes to sex they don’t actually want to have all of the time. Why? Because we condition young women to feel guilty if they change their mind. After all, you’ve already made it back to his place, or you’re already on the bed, or you’ve already taken off your clothes, or you’ve already said yes. Do you really want to have an awkward conversation about why you want to stop? What if it hurts his feelings? What if it ruins the relationship? What if you seem like a bitch?
The problem in this rationale isn’t about women changing their mind or feeling guilty – those are excuses for male-initiated victimhood for women and absolve women’s complicity – rather, the focus should be on the fact that women going through with this type of sex presently have the option to ruin a man’s life at any future date by defining it as ‘unwanted sex’. Ella Dawson may not want to conflate transactional, Beta sex as rape, but that’s where this conversation is leading us to.
Is it OK for Alpha Males?
I apologize for forgetting who it was that sent me this link, but the present day #MeToo moral panic combined with notions of “enthusiastic consent” and a resulting atmosphere of fear in intersexual dynamics was predicted as far back as 2004, and by a woman no less:
Sexual harassment is a crime committed by beta-males who think they can get away with alpha behavior. But that is a distinction too delicate for the blunt instrument of the law. How do you explain to a judge why one man’s comedy is another man’s bone-chilling lechery? And can we really expect the beta-males themselves to understand the difference?
I found this article very prescient about our present moral panic. In the last two posts I’ve made the case that what were finally seeing on a social scale is the consolidation of women’s entitlement to an almost socialistic guarantee of optimized Hypergamy. Through any number of direct and indirect institutions we’ve now virtually guaranteed women a right to Beta men’s resources, protection and provisioning as well as a dominant social status above them both at home and in the workplace. Whether overtly or covertly, women dominate Beta men; the last piece of consolidating Hypergamy is then the (at least partial) control of Alpha Fucks.
https://www.reddit.com/r/TheRedPill/comments/7kpmwa/dangerous_times_part_1/drhirym/
As we move into 2018 – an era to be defined even more thoroughly by the Future is Female, #MeToo and Enthusiastic Consent – I believe we’ll see a push for the following:
- Sexual harassment will indeed be a crime committed by Beta males who fail at a convincing ‘Alpha’ behavior. As such the push will be to get Beta men to self-police their behavior via fear. There will be a doubling down on the part of Blue Pill White Knights and ‘Feminist Allies’ in the wake of the social and legal options women will have to be believed of men’s sexual misconduct allegations by default. Feminized men will “try harder” and rat out their rivals for any hint of misconduct in an Orwellian effort to be more appealing and identifying with women.
- Only confident Alpha men, or men well versed in Game, will be allowed to approach women from a perspective of social acceptability. However, even then it will be a woman’s prerogative to later define that approach or subsequent interaction as harassment if that Alpha doesn’t comply with a woman’s long term security needs, provisioning and parental investment ‘entitlements’. The latent purpose of a suspension of the statutes of limitation for sexual harassment will center on locking down (perceptually) Alpha men in a long term relationship.
- This new feminine-primary sexual paradigm will further limit Beta men’s sexual access and increase reproduction stress in the few Beta men who don’t pragmatically drop out of the sexual marketplace altogether. This will also reinforce boys/men’s conditioning of loathing their own gender. They will be taught to accept this feminine-primary sexual strategy, as well as the legal restrictions on his power of choice and his life’s direction as the societal norm.
- Legal mandates and societal mores will directly and indirectly ensure Beta men’s compliance in all aspects of parental investment in children he was not biologically responsible for, as well as women’s long term security.
Now, more than ever it is imperative that men become Red Pill awakened and see the writing on the wall with a Red Pill Lens. All of this may seem horribly unavoidable, but let me emphasize, it’s not for men who are aware of, and have internalized intersexual dynamics and can plan accordingly.
In the last installment of this series I’ll be delving into some of the larger socio-sexual implications of where we find ourselves today and where I see present day intersexual relations leading us in a larger scale as well as what Red Pill men can do to win at whats becoming a very dangerous game.
@FireInBlood “Next step, punitive castration” Nope. This is not about punishment. Enthusiastic consent may very well snag some men by the gills and they will be gutted and filleted sure enough, but this is incidental. A few heads on pikes at the gates is a nice touch, but the point isn’t to punish men or to cull the tax cattle into oblivion, but rather to prime the men into compliance, to inculcate the idea that being gelded tax cattle is the REWARD. This is about doubling-down on the massive transference of benefits to women while burdening men with the responsibilities.… Read more »

It’s not that I don’t have compassion for Smith, or any guy that’s been through the ringer, it’s the whole ” Belly of the Beast ” analogy that kinda set me off. The ” high school/super alpha ” thing didn’t sit that well either, lol.
But your point is taken.
Sorry Smith.
OK, now you guys are scaring me. That there is going to be another cross-purposes food fight here. Sure the legal system is a beast. But it is what it is. What are you going to do about it? Dangerous times suck. What are you going to do about it? Divorce rape sucks. What are you going to do with relationship Game? Come on. I don’t know why you guys are having a problem with Blax’s senior advice. It’s very good mindset stuff. It works.

Simple Solutions to Complex Problems: I previously posted some background including the definition of Pendulums used by Vadim Zeland here: https://therationalmale.com/2017/08/01/divorce-incorporated/comment-page-5/#comment-208982 This is a formalized discourse from Transurfing Reality that is similar to what Blaximus is trying to say (and said it well in my opinion). It is somewhat derived from psychology and ancient wisdom: Simple Solutions to Complex Problems Another practical value of these techniques for defeating or stopping a pendulum is acquiring the ability to solve all kinds of problems: complicated situations in your personal life, conflict, unfavorable circumstances or simply a set task.

John Smith . I gave her the Alpha tingles she wanted at 28 and wasn’t getting. After two years of dating and seven years of marriage (the seven year itch) I pissed her off over money. She switched to woman scorned mode, I ended up jailed, barely avoided prison, became unemployable, bankrupt, and destroyed. By Belly of the Beast, I thought you meant locked up. Your story is not unique. This is the path of the beta. sorry. Some Alpha tingles, then lots of beta or no Alpha tingles. Makes Johnny a dull boy. If she was STILL getting alpha… Read more »
@Blaximuz @Dr Z In these times, and the even more turbulent times that are sure to come, we men need to have each others back. Throughout history men have competed with each other for women. Belittling each other, put downs, fighting, and even killing for women. This needs to stop. We have to find a way to unite. Women have always known this and taken advantage of it, just as nature intended. But now they have weaponized it. We men may disagree but we must never forget that we are all in this same boat together, even the BP white… Read more »
@Sentinent Yes, I did go Beta but not for the reason you may think. The first miscarriage changed everything for us both. When she told me she was pregnant it was one of the happiest moments of my life. We both did the fertility thing. My sperm count was low percentage wise but there were a ton of the little swimmers. It turns out she was woefully deficient in a particular hormone necessary to carry to term. The normal number was 15, hers was 3. Things changed after that. At least one more miscarriage that she told me about. The… Read more »
@BurnerPrime I agree with you about war. In wartime and the years following men are at a great numbers advantage in the sexual marketplace (that is if younare lucky enough not to be killed in war to begin with). My earliest memories were the years following the Vietnam war and I remember so many sensitive males and they were all getting laid. What a different culture it was. My concern is Americans no longer have the stomach for a large ground war so we will always have a very large surplus of reproductive aged males, especially with the added impact… Read more »
In essence, my argument is that Alpha frame is not only situational but also transitory, all at her whim. You don’t understand game or biology or female psychology if you think that. Some women will kill their own children if told to do so by an alpha. If a guy doesn’t play any defense when he Nexts a girl, he might get smashed by the juggernaut even if he’s an alpha. YOU EVEN HAVE TO GAME YOUR EX!!!!! Burden of performance. No question that the legal deck is stacked against you. Stay out of court. Game your ex. Gaming your… Read more »

You pissed her off over money you said? Yet there was more. Miscarriage.

I was watching a photo of a bunch of men in a office with shirts that read “The Future is Female” and I begun thinking, a woman would never wear a shirt that reads: “The… Read more »

John — The thing is, it’s all about frame. Miscarriages can be managed as well if you maintain alpha frame. Marriage in general in this day and age has a beta-izing effect, which means you have to actively manage your frame nonstop once you are married … you should have been doing that before anyway, of course, but it seems that many guys do not do that once they are married for a few years. Frame, frame, frame — be relentless about frame and you will not get sucked into the worst parts of the law, even if you get… Read more »

Why are people so worried about the law? If you maintain the proper frame, you won’t get into legal problems, because she won’t be calling 911 on you — that only happens when you don’t maintain frame.
Alpha really is the answer, as much as guys like to avoid that truth.
The alpha also suffers a lot even in this stupid FI utopia. I have felt that this place is a great solace for us betas by the way (and I believe all of us in here are betas by the way). But there is no place for alphas to go. An alpha is on his own. I am not trolling by the way. The alpha is a victim of his good looks and street smarts. Everyone wants a piece of him though, and they will eventually get it. I suspect that he often feels like the worst bastard on earth.… Read more »

Still paying down balance of first legal fight. My net worth is about 20k because of divorce rape. I’m 60 years old and still working. She made BS charges about DV and misappropriation of marital funds. I basically… Read more »
I think the end game for the FI is to turn all heterosexual relations, including marriage, into the nordic model of prostitution. Men are criminals by default and the idea that a man can definitively protect himself if he ‘obtains’ affirmative or enthusiastic is just an illusion. You are guilty the moment she decides you are guilty, even years later. You cannot truly gain ‘consent’ if it can be revoked at any time. The man-hating lesbian radfems finally get their wish…all heterosexual intercourse is rape…if the woman says it is. The solution for many seems to be: ‘be alpha, and… Read more »

I hate the prevalent assumption among men that Game is primarily about getting laid. Getting laid is part of it, but far from the whole story. Game helps with defense, too, as EI has pointed out. I think this is an appropriate time to link to a post I recently wrote where I opined some ideas about how a man might implement taming a shrew (all girls are shrews to some extent) in these dangerous times.

I couldn’t find it… Can someone post that video from GoodLookingLoser on the worst reaction he ever got?

And even there, nothing really serious happens to him other than being shouted at.

@IAS: Yes, it is a strange irony that a percentage of the ‘hardcore’ Feminists would seek to legalize prostitution on the basis of proclaimed ‘equality’, female agency and empowerment, blah, blah… This is the same type of Feminist that backed the ERA in the late 70’s. Probably the largest case where the interests of Feminism was at odds with the interests of the average woman and the FI. These type of Feminists can be convinced to support ‘equality’ if they see it as advancing their own ideology and ego. However, the FI does not seek equality and cannot be convinced… Read more »
