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.

@Culum But now it’s like the negativity and lashing out at me has shot up. Why is everyone getting triggered? that’s what it looks like in a ‘decreasing resources’ system… people are pulling back into their ‘group archetypes’… to maintain what access to resources they still have… I saw a graph not too long ago which showed that democrats and republicans started as basically one bell curve with the standard shape curve (one hump) – where it was possible to ‘govern from the middle’… this has now changed to a two hump bell curve with no middle… those are the… Read more »

@Everyone but also @kfg: interested in your interpretation of this study and the observed results.
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-00504-3
Of course the first explanation proposed by the (male) author is “backlash from angry males”.
I myself have observed that, despite women’s in-group preference, women often don’t like working with other women (@Palmasailor mentioned this effect more than once). Could the women “quota’d” into the panels be opposing hiring extra women?
The study is 53 pages and I’m short on time to go over it at the moment, but a quick scan shows that it is more sophisticated and less biased than the article produced by a freelance writer, so there is at least that. A question that pops immediately to mind is, how many of the female applicants were younger and hotter than the female committee members? This figure, “In physics, he predicted that four men and ten women would have been hired without the quotas” also strikes me as extremely significant. And for reasons stated in the study and… Read more »

You’ve got a ton of great advice from myself, Blax, boulderhead, Eh and HABD…
And it all flows back to You…

Rugby Interesting video above. I agree with the guy, but there’s just a little more to the equation. He’s mostly spot on though. Men need to grow enough, soon enough, to let go of that whole ” looking at what everyone else is doing/thinking/saying stuff. It appears that this is extremely hard for many men….or women for that matter. If you truly want to be successful at damn near everything you try to do in life, you must learn to think for yourself and stand on your own 2 feet.

@asdgamer What we have here is a fundamental lesson in red pill rule # Zero – all women want to look up to their man with respect and desire. No amount of blue pill counselling or other will rectify the SIL’s situation. Here is KS explaining the situation. Therefore, the best solution is for your SIL to man-up to the level required by DG or bugger off, being that I believe you said she is a doctor, said SIL must both become in DPA mode something a female doctor can respect. This is not an easy task per the information… Read more »
I have to be honest here, I watched this and thought every other commentator was a complete AMOGING twat except for Rollo. Rollo offers solid Red Pill advice. The “Demonstrate don’t Explicate” totally contrasts the “I’m so alpha hahahaha” of the other dudes commenting. This is the reason I read this blog.
@HABD Things start to make sense with the autistic SIL hypothesis: SIL’s ranting is SIL self-stimulating SIL is very rules-oriented SIL frequently misses social cues SIL acts up around family a lot (not sure why) If SIL is autistic and very high functioning: SIL operates normally with high levels of stress and discomfort which is standard for autists SIL is able to rationalize his rules like a champ SIL would most likely be slower to develop, especially emotionally–emotional immaturity is common among autists. Giving SIL more pain would just cause his rationalization hamster to work overtime. If SIL is diagnosed… Read more »

@walawala “I have to be honest here, I watched this and thought every other commentator was a complete AMOGING twat except for Rollo.” I totally disagree. Perhaps you don’t know the backstories of Donovan Sharpe, Rian Stone, Steve Williams, and Carl of BlackLabelLogic. Do you? In their personal lives they have “Demonstrated” Red Pill. They are all skilled Red Pill good content providers. Rollo knows that and that’s why collaborates with them. I don’t disagree that they AMOG, but in my opinion they have the balls to back up their AMOGing and I believe based on their masculine life stories… Read more »

I know a little about Donovan. Visited his site a number of times. I disagree with some of what he says and how he says it.
…. his Instagram posts are interesting though. Some times.
Still, something in his message is not congruent. A little off.
just my opinion.
“I have to be honest here, I watched this and thought every other commentator was a complete AMOGING twat except for Rollo.” Men test other men. It’s what we do. It’s useful for establishing dominance hierarchy. I’ve told this story before about how a much larger man tested me at a wedding by pinching one of my vertebrae and I responded by moving my hand up to his neck and looking at him. The man just smiled at me and removed his hand. What the other man did was test my value. What I did was to demonstrate value. I… Read more »

… damn, it’s 2019 and I’m still saying this shit.
“I disagree with some of what he says and how he says it.”
Tell me more Blax.
I don’t disagree that he AMOG’s. But in my opinion it is not the slightest bit disagreeable. He’s dyed-in-the-wool Red Pill. Good on him.
The content he wrote for years at Return of Kings was in my opinion sterling Red Pill content.

What I liked about Rollo’s commentary was that he didn’t try to jump on the other dudes who were all trying to be THE authority.

To be able to offer a clear rationale tied to a wider philosophy is why Rollo’s comments in that and other clips are for me more authoritative.

@SJF
DG will be fine, I’m sure. She just got into a rough patch with an aggressively expanding employer and was scheduled to take a lot of call time. Her employment contract forbade her working at a lot of hospitals close to home, so she’s looking at locums as well as moving to new work opportunities. DG has already had several phone interviews and has a rec from a fellow specialist whom she worked with at her old employer and also an interview out of state.
@SJF – thanks man. I see what you mean, but the thing is I’m mostly not in battle with anyone on the discussion board. It’s not my style. I have the same personality there that I do here. The reason for my post was because of the massively disproportional reaction I got to an exceptionally mild pushback and some searching questions (not even an argument as such).

The gender wars are being fought on various fronts. The political arena represents the primary battleground, where the will of the opposing sides are lain bare.

“The political arena represents the primary battleground, where the will of the opposing sides are lain bare.”
That’s just the point of the spear. The butt of the shaft is in the sociology (which has spawned anthropology and absorbed psychology) and education departments of the colleges. The English and nursing departments are next up the shaft. We don’t get to gender studies until the ferrule (or ferule, as the case may be).
Shit runs deep.
I wish I were making this up, but:
The hot trend in bicycle racing coaching is teaching “sensations.” i.e. how to tell if you are breathing hard without an instrument panel. And some people have trouble with the concept.

More data on SIL. I was watching “As Good As It Gets” with DG…when the Morris Udall packing scene appeared, DG said that it was just like how SIL packs and she was surprised that she had never noticed it.
Also, DG said that a lot of SIL’s fights with his family have to do with cooking smells and with noise. Typical autist.
@ASD
It’s Melvin Udall.
So what are you going to do about it?
I think you can tell him to take an online autism test.
Then go from there.
Then have your daughter go to work, make a salary and support him and the baby.
Autists are people too, you know. And she chose him fair and square.
Doesn’t mean you can’t mediate.

@kfg – interesting. Looks like a take on both Asimov’s Foundation in decline, and some aspects of Dan Simmons’ Hyperion (reliance on the Core AIs etc). It doesn’t seem to be on Kindle though unfortunately.
PS – Castalia House is that publishing house where the owner got into controversy at the Hugos or Nebulas or one of these awards a couple years ago right?
“It doesn’t seem to be on Kindle though unfortunately.” It’s under SJW attack, with malicious actors within Amazon who occasionally take it down. So far it has always gone up again, with apologies, after running the issue up the chain of command. We’ll see what happens this time. It used to be available in DRM free mobi direct from Castalia House, but I don’t see that option now.

I guess I should point the issue that gets it taken down from Amazon from time to time.
