State of the Manosphere 2018

Tonight at 10pm eastern my State of the Manosphere address goes live. I’ll be answering question in real time in the chat, but once this is up and on the 21 Convention You Tube channel I’ll be answering Q&A primarily on the comment thread of this post.

As I’ve mentioned in my last few posts, much of what I predicted to come for the next two years, with respect to our gender politics landscape, has come to pass far sooner than I expected. I fully expect the 2019 Super Bowl advertising to be a parade of misandrous hate directed at what the Feminine Imperative perceives as their ideological and political enemies – conventionally masculine men.

Furthermore, the scope of the APA’s guidelines about masculinity is revealing itself to be much more extensive with respect to ideological purity than any real science.

The APA ruling ‘traditional’ masculinity as a psychological disorder is also proving itself to be a part of a much larger coordinated attack on who the #resistance and #MeToo believe will be their primary opposition in the coming election cycle. The Gillette agitprop video and the PETA video were only the opening salvos to build the groundwork against conventional masculinity. I’ve seen damn near every article decrying ‘toxic’ masculinity since the beginning of the new year refer to the APA guidelines as a kind of Papal bull for their believers. Expect to see more media use this as a basis for their further demonizing men as we move into the election cycle.

Speaking of which, in the first 3 weeks of 2019 we’ve also seen an almost entirely female set of candidates declare themselves as running for their party’s nomination. Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Karen Gillibrand, and a few others couldn’t wait for the clock to strike midnight on December 31st, 2018. This was also something I alluded to in our December 29th episode of The Red Man Group; a vagina will be a prerequisite for consideration for the Democratic nomination in 2020.

Anyway, those were just a few things I saw coming last Fall. Let me know what you think about this talk. A lot of convention attendees told me it was one of my best. I hope you think so too.

Dear Rollo, First of all, I cannot thank you enough for your outstanding work. To begin with, I owe to your first book almost three dozens of the women that are under my belt. But most importantly, a change in mentality that has directed me towards masculinity and ownership, and which is strongly and very positively influencing my life. Anyway, the main reason why I follow you is mere curiosity about human behavior. Your analysis obviously goes well beyond mere PUA techniques. It is all about the deep underlying psychology and, what is even more fascinating to me, how it… Read more »

The BIG danger is over focusing on the Metoo movement / implemetation.

Don’t confuse the symptom with the feature; feminism is merely the current instantiation of the FI. In European history the cult of Courtly Love predates feminism by centuries, yet it clearly and obviously is another form of the FI.

If “feminine” bothers you, use “Female Imperative” instead.

Susan Walsh ran it for years, but now some younger woman has taken over. I think it was Walsh who controversially wrote a Wall Street Journal piece advising chicks to nail down a guy during college rather than riding the carousel through their 20s — the idea being they’d never have a better selection of up-and-coming men to choose from.

Question: Given the recent APA propaganda (masculinity is toxic), how can the red pill community react to the Feminine Imperative’s (FI) inroads into the professions (psychology, law, medicine, etc..)? Seems like the FI will move the “Overton Window” such that rational questioning will become a thought-crime/real crime.

Part of the message I get from your post is that you are against gynocracy—the political supremacy of women. However, I don’t want to take for granted that this means you advocate for androcracy (or phallocracy)—the political supremacy of men.

Response to ex-cartoonist’s question RE “position on androcracy?” I think this is a false equivalency. The sexes are not equal and never will be (doesn’t mean we can’t respect each other though). Rollo specifically mentioned in his speech that he comes from more of a scientific/empirical background. He is more concerned with “what is” rather than “which should be.” Feminism—like communism—is a utopian fantasy; both posit that if we socially engineered the population enough we will fix every issue. Dostoevsky was prescient when he wrote “The Possessed” (sometimes translated as “the devils”) back in 1871–which captured the spirit of what… Read more »

Debates about under / over population are not the most boring debates, but they are close.

Hey, another topic:
How about that Gulf Stream? Is it flowing OK? Should we be talking about how to make it flow more better?

Lol @ dorm room level “debate”.

@ollie This doesn’t take into account the hydrocarbons…Which is a dwindling resource itself. This is speculative. Crude oil and natural gas may be generated by the magma. We don’t know that hydrocarbons aren’t being replenished. In the U.S., we export food to feed the world. Don’t believe the pointy head nonsense from scaremongers. I’ve seen lots of it over the years and it always turns out to be tripe. We were supposed to be out of oil by 2000. Out of food likewise. There was the nuclear winter scare. Etc. All tripe. @kfg you forget the feuds and organized crime… Read more »

“…without enough young workers, the social security system can’t be maintained . . .” Aha! ” . . . you’ll see greatly increased mortality.” I already implied that. It naturally follows from having an anomalously high elderly rate, no matter how they are treated. I note that they’re not part of the breeding population. There does appear to be a damping oscillation though. Big Baby Boom>Baby Bust>Mini Baby Boom (Xers get fucked out of ever being the majority)>Current Baby Bust. Not that it matters. Shit’s gonna happen. AR is basically correct. “In Japan you have Koreans and Chinese and other… Read more »

Rollo, I know as of late your attention has been more on the macro side of hypergamy, but I’d love to hear your thoughts on women’s need of attention and validation from other men.

@theasdgamer The abiotic petroleum theory has been discredited. But even if you wanted to believe it to be true you would have to accept the replenishment rates are far below the usage rate of petroleum. Overpopulation is a self evident truth. China’s forced sterilisation program has resulted in 336 million prevented births. In the west we prefer to achieve this goal through social engineering. Empowering women has led to lower birth rates, which is what was intended. But to us red pill aware men it’s an inconvenient truth. It implies we won’t be getting our jollies, so we must pretend… Read more »

Proponents of the abiotic theory are not without their evidence, however. These scientists point to the fact that oil reservoirs have been shown to refill when left alone for periods of time, something that does not fit with the biotic theory. They also point to the presence of oil on meteors and other bodies that do not and never have supported life.

NB: The above site favors the biotic theory of petrogenesis.

clarification: I used the word “petrogenesis” to mean “formation of petroleum”…the common meaning of this word is “formation of rock”

If you’re willing to use denial and scapegoating on this topic, where else would you be prepared to use it?
The red pill has many unflattering truths and doesn’t point to a immediate rosy future.
Perhaps you’re partial to a sprinkling of denial to help the medicine go down.

@RPA She’s competing with herself and other women. Probably not in the hot zone, but definitely in the crazy zone on the hot/crazy matrix. Next. https://youtu.be/incSwssUyp4 “I’m a 24-year-old woman still solidifying her identity…. As a feminist, it pains me to admit that I got so much validation from male attention…. Is this something all people in relationships contend with? Will I grow out of it? Is there something missing from my relationship? How do I block out societal expectations of women and continue to grow into a more genuine person who gains validation and happiness from within?” She won’t… Read more »

The Mystery of Methane on Mars and Titan

It might mean life, it might mean unusual geologic activity; whichever it is, the presence of methane in the atmospheres of Mars and Titan is one of the most tantalizing puzzles in our solar system

Hint: Methane in those places didn’t come from decomposing plant and animal remains.
