America: Land of Soulless Hamster Wusses

Street harassment: The engine of civilization

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.

How bizzare?

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:

Hindu: I don’t support the free marketplace of ideas if it means supporting the free market of evil ideas. I am not an “idea relativist”.

Who gets to choose? Why does that person get to choose? Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Because there are a lot of people actively working to make it the case that people who aren’t in favor of a Christian, patriarchal, homophobic, gender unequal society, is the norm to which all adhere.

Why shouldn’t they get to decide who comes into the country?

redlocker: Pink was a masculine color for boys in the US until the 1920s/30s.

Thanks everyone!

Yeah, pink was for boys because it’s a diluted red, which is the masculine colour of blood etc. Blue was for girls because it’s the colour of the Virgin Mary for some reason.

Also babies used to be dressed basically identically until the age of 2 or so, which is why you might have a picture of your grandfather as an infant in a lace gown and ringlets. Now we gender babies pretty much from birth.

I’m still waiting for Ion’s verdict on my womanliness. Neither my biology or comfort with my gender assignment can make up for the lack of his approval. XD

I’m really uncomfortable decreeing that certain traits are inherently masculine and feminine. Now am I more likely to find a Hello Kitty backpack totally adorbs than a guy? Probably. But…some of the strongest and most accomplished people I’ve known have been women. And some of the most kind and nurturing have been men. As to gossip, well, all the dudes I’ve known have been pretty INTO gossip. Juicy news is juicy news, people. We all like hearing it.

Though I “present” as someone stereotypically feminine, I have assembled roughly a third of the furniture in my house. I also purchase and set up all our computers and peripherals. ALL OF THEM. I have a much larger music collection than my husband am much more into music than he is. (Also his taste is shit.) I love electronic gadgets. If I had my druthers we’d have a really posh home stereo system. I care much more about these sorts of things than he does. Does that make me less feminine or him less masculine? Um, I don’t think so. But, as I said before, I’m pretty uncomfortable saying THIS is masculine and THIS is feminine–always and forever.

And before anyone interjects to say I think men and women are exactly alike or want men and women to be exactly alike, I’d like to preemptively say no. No, I don’t think men and women are exactly alike and mostly I like that. That being said, we’re probably more alike than we are different.

When guys do it it’s called “talking about things”.

Not being an “only cool girl in the room” feminist here. I know there are a lots of women who are into music, furthermore have a much more encyclopedic appreciation for it than I do. (Though I would challenge anyone saying they appreciate it more than I do on a purely sensual level.)

Ion seems much angrier today than yesterday xD And back to his “I’m cooler than you nerds, NEEERRRRDDS” way xD (while not heeding Obi-wan’s advice xD )

And his attacks on everybody (and apparently speculating on ppl’s personal lives? o_O ) xD

“No, it was actually about being topped by a man and a woman, with you as the cuckold slave-boy. And I think we both know it’s no fantasy. :)”

I honestly can’t tell at this point whether you really believe this or you think you’re clever enough to goad me into just giving you a bunch more personal information, which would also mean you’re dumb enough to think that information would be somehow damning. Obviously I should have said “In this thread: Ion learns nothing, like usual.”. I will, however, admit one thing. Watching you blundering around, ineffectually trying to score hits on me and everyone else here is most entertaining, please continue.

@Ami Angelwings:

When you boil it all down, that’s pretty much all he’s got: name-calling and the desperate hope that we’re as miserable as he wants us to be. Just like a real-world bully, but a lot more pathetic.

“Also, are metrosexuals even a thing anymore? I thought all the hipsters killed them off.”

Now there’s a hand-to-hand combat I would love to have witnessed. Like Thermopylae, only with better clothes.

My nickname in highschool was “Book” (and, nope, it was not a Firefly reference), I’ve long passed plausible deniability about being a nerd or the point where being called a nerd bothers me. Having no shame about these things means that you can just do what you like, and that is very fun and freeing.

So, I admit I am a nerd, what of it?

“You know, at this point it’s just getting depressing. Is there a single misogynist who ISN’T also completely misandrist? Just for a change of pace?”

I think that if you hate people then you just hate people, more or less universally and in toto. You can’t really differentiate on the basis of sex, although you may try. Inevitably, both the effort and the failure will show up in what you write. JMO.

Bekabot, maybe Johnny Pez can work the hipsters v. metrosexuals battle into the Tales of The Gender Wars!

Thanks, Ami! Just so you know, I’m not planning on dressing the baby in lace dresses and forming hir hair into perfect sausage curls. Even if it is a girl. That just sounds like a ton of hand-washing.

Got to see the Ami cards first.

Also, congrats! I think this would be an appropriate time for a panic post on Canadians outbreeding USians.

Now you can’t even get these losers off their asses from the internet and they are going to claim, “we hunted mammoths”!?!?!

You just can’t make this shit up. Its almost TOO good.
