Here’s a little screed, originally from happierabroad.com, that’s been making the rounds of the manosphere lately. The author, anonymous, describes himself as “an Arab, who has lived and travelled all over the world and is a keen observer of society and people.” The aim of his writing? To let those of us in the West know just how disappointed he is with all of us. Especially the wussies and bitches.
Meeting Westerners, one of the things I noticed was how insecure and de-masculinized they seemed to me; compared to myself and the male-dominated, testosterone-driven culture of my land.
Using my own keen sense of observation, I have noticed just an eensy weensy bit of misogyny in his writings. You may notice it as well.
On the internet, most Americans seemed to act like little bitches, little girls brought up in a Feminist perversion of nature.
Well, I don’t know about that whole “perversion of nature” thing, but I have to say the first half of that sentence is pretty spot-on.
It was only after coming to the U.S. and studying here that all the pieces came together – a fascinating look at a dysfunctional man-hating civilization that is the polar opposite of my own culture, and will eventually lead to the collapse of Western civilization.
Uh oh.
Where I come from, men walk proud and rule the streets and testosterone runs in the air; and strong patriarchal foundations of family and the father as ruler of the household. Men harass and aggressively follow women – it is unapologetically a man’s world.
That’s what makes a civilization great: the harassment of women.
Just remember this, men, when you lean out of your car window to yell “Nice ass………WHORE!!!!!!!!!” at passing joggers of the female persuasion, you’re doing your bit to uphold our most noble traditions and help to fend off the forces of darkness.
In the U.S., Feminism has so corrupted the society to it’s core, damaged the very concept of family and the family unit and the father’s role, that society as a whole is like some bizarre alien planet – where men are bland, lack personality, are anti-social, gossipy, soul-less. Men are weak and insecure deep inside … women have all the power and American men seem clueless as to how bizarre the male-female dynamic has become.
In the workplace, Americans are Automatons, like soul-less hamsters on a wheel. Fake conversations, no intellectualism, no interest in other countries, peoples, or history.
Do soul-less hamsters act differently than soulful ones? How can you tell the difference? Do the ones without souls poop more?
Also, terrible social and people skills – at least in California. Most people communicate via twitter and Facebook, even though most of the people on their Facebook live in the same city and a phone call away.
Really? You’re complaining about Facebook? Sorry, that’s just lazy and trite. You’re like the Dane Cook of reactionary misogynist cultural critics.
People are vacuous, shallow, superficial, suggestible. Men raised here are fake, insecure, lack personality, they seem to have “issues.” Women are confused and messed up ..
Wait, what’s that? Is that the dreaded MRA two-period punctuation mark? NOT AGAIN!
Oops. He’s still talking:
You let your women take control, and your society will unravel- it will make your men weak, and destroy your society to it’s core. The patriarchy is a male conceived and enforced institution that was imposed on females, because men, and only men understand well the long-term impacts of civilization and harnessing male energies into productive family units and a stable society …. civilization itself is a result of patriarchy.
You know, if you’re really into harnessing your male energies, you can buy the necessary equipment right here!
To sum if up, it seems to be that the whole country is phitzoprhenic [sic], like a Jekyll and Hyde monstrosity. There is no community, no camaredie, no soul, men and women are willing servants to their corporate masters and slaves to materialism and superficiality; and incredibly conformist, reserved, and politically correct to the point of totalitinarism.
“Conformist?” So now he’s turned into a high school goth?
Come on, dude, if you want to be a social critic, you’re going to need to work a little harder than that. Take a tip or two from this, er, duck:
Civilization became powerful and prosperous without Slurpees. Only an advanced (powerful and prosperous) civilization could produce Slurpees. Slurpees is self-defeating, so don’t expect a Slurpeeing civilization to stay powerful and prosperous for long.
Civilization became powerful and prosperous without green eggs and ham. Only an advanced (powerful and prosperous) civilization could produce green eggs and ham. Green eggs and ham are self-defeating, so don’t expect a green eggs and hamming civilization to stay powerful and prosperous for long.
@redlocker: I aim to please, though I will never understand the Internet’s obsession with bacon. 😛
Me either!
mgtow sucks don’t ever go there they will turn on you on a dime. i have no beef with most of the guys there but the administration is largely a bunch of arrogant assholes who will not hesitate to ban you for the slightest disagreement. they pretend to be better than the feminists but they are not.
haye ghuyes. you banned me but you can’t shut me up now. ^=^ you are powerless having used your only attack which is ban.
Happierabroad.com was created by Winston Wu, a guy that suffer from mental illness and was banned from several forums. He said he had no success with women in the US and that he went to Russia and then Asia and had lots of success. He’s lying.
There’s a web site created by a former employer of Winston Wu that explain his various mental illness :

There’s a video about his lack of success in Russia and Asia :
Most guys on happierabroad.com are probably like him.
Civilization became powerful and prosperous without proper waste disposal. Only an advanced (powerful and prosperous) civilization could produce waste disposal. Waste disposal is self-defeating, so don’t expect a waste disposing civilization to stay powerful and prosperous for long.
Civilization became powerful and prosperous without $MONEY$. Oh wait, it didn’t.
kirbywarp @ 6:21: MY HEAD A SPLODE.
dont delete legitimate comments ok thanks
Kirbywarp 6:21 wins the internet.
Ozymandias, check out Henry Jenkin’s “Textual Poachers” sometime. It’s a scholarly work about fanfiction — a genre which he argues goes back to medieval times. (I’d say back to the Talmud myself.)
The camel looks cute… I’m *sob* now reminded of the Australian camels which the Australian government wants to kill because of their effect on global warming…
I think Sharculese broke Marc in the other thread by talking about being genderqueer. Now he’s going on about anti-humanism and the collapse of civilization. And camels.
David Futrelle, I love you. You’re writing style is f*ckin’ hilarious and that cock carousel art blog header is to die for! Did you design that yourself? How about T-shirts?
If this Arab dude is so schocked and dismayed that the US does not coddle rampant harrassement of women on the streets then he can go back to his country!
This is one area where I am NOT liberal. I feel immigrants from male dominated and patriarchal cultures need to indoctrinated into Feminism BEFORE they are granted access to Feminist countries or even just more equitable countries (for those who would argue that USA is not a “feminist country”).
Believe me, women like me LEAVE BEHIND our patriarchal cultures so that we can get a goddamned BREAK from all that mess. Now the men want to import it here?
Hell NO!
testosterone runs in the air
That wold explain all the extremely butch sparrows I’ve been seeing lately.
“That wold explain all the extremely butch sparrows I’ve been seeing lately.”
I am now imagining sparrows with cool Rockabilly haircuts and little strap-ons.
The birds and the bees are doin’ it, doin’ it.
Hindu, the “cock carousel” artwork was created by the awesome JohnnyKaje (who designed the mammoth banner as well). And yes, t-shirts are available!

I dunno about indoctrinated, HINDU. I think people should be allowed to have their crazy beliefs, as long as they aren’t harming anyone else (harassing people harms them, but thinking people should be harassed doesn’t). I am profoundly uncomfortable with the notion of making someone’s immigration dependent on their political beliefs. It has nothing but bad implications.
Ozy, who said anything about “political beliefs”? I’m as apolitical as they come but you better believe I am not going to ideologically support someone who thinks women SHOULD BE harrassed. That’s just crazy.
And the problem with your approach is that if we let people in who think these things in great numbers, it won’t be long until that collective thought gets translated into a public behavioural norm.
Cultural norms begin first with thoughts about them. The action comes later.
There are American citizens born here who have similar thoughts but our civic norms, our cultural behavioural norms, SHAME them into not acting upon those thoughts in public.
That’s until and unless the rest of us become so feel-goody-open-minded and bleeding heart “liberal” that we allow these American patriarchal nutjobs and the Arab-Indo-Pak patriarchal nutjobs to lobby a organize a collective force.
I’ll be a bleeding heart liberal for every other cause, but for this cause?
RADICAL FEMINAZI, BITCHES
“The birds and the bees are doin’ it, doin’ it.”
Yes, it’s true, we are. Firebee, get yo sassyfrass over here and do, um, it!
Two thoughts, HINDU:
1) Our cultural norms really, really have not stopped people harassing women on street corners. Rather the contrary, actually. :/
2) It’s very bad precedent. We can agree that sexually harassing women is wrong. But imagine that, with the precedent of “immigrants with thoughts that could lead to harmful behaviorial norms should have to suffer reeducation,” Joseph McCarthy got into power and started reeducating people against socialism, or Michele Bachmann got into power and started reeducating people against homosexuality, or Ion got into power and started reeducating people about the importance of traditional gender roles. The only way to support the free marketplace of ideas is to support the free marketplace of all ideas– even ones that are wrong to the point of being evil.
Anyone else think HINDU smacks of Poe?
“civilization itself is a result of patriarchy”
Well take heart. He’s at least wrong about that much.
That’s right Civilization is a result of ppl building near rivers and knowing the tech tree. xD
.And the problem with your approach is that if we let people in who think these things in great numbers, it won’t be long until that collective thought gets translated into a public behavioural norm.
Do you believe I have the same thought as my parents? They weren’t “from here”… or what about their parents? Do you believe my children will have the same thought as me? 😀 What did my parents believe? What do I believe? :3
And honestly, what are you planning to do, have thought tests to see if ppl come in have “allowable” thoughts? xD
