You’ve got to give the Spearhead men credit for one thing: vivid imagination. Browsing through the comments on a recent W.F. Price post on marriage in Asia, I ran across a whole host of little gems, all of them eagerly upvoted by the assembled mob.
Gem #1: Uncle Elmer, a forward-thinking sort, fantasized about the impending arrival of
Asian style whoring here in the U.S., which is inevitable anyway as the world “flattens out” and we become more third-world as China becomes more first-world.
In the not too distant future when a fella goes to the “barber shop” he will be greeted by Heather, Madison, and Chloe, who will be eager to attend his needs in support of paying off their student loans.
Did he think that Idiocracy was a documentary?
A fellow named Will chimed in to ditto Elmer’s contribution, and to offer a most unusual conspiracy theory:
You’re right Elmer, every female student is a potential prostitute in the making, once the economy takes a nosedive and they can’t pay their loans.
Makes you wonder if the primarily Female university attendees aren’t intentionally being sold a “bill of goods” regarding the value of their university “education”.
So young women are being convinced to go to college, even though college education for women is useless (because, you know, they’re women), so that in a bad economy they’ll all start giving handjobs in barber shops to pay off their student loans?
Who exactly is doing this convincing? The American Association of University Women? The Illuminati? Uncle Elmer?
Gem #2: The always charming Oddsock, meanwhile, offered a skeptical take on the value of women’s conversational skills:
Lets be blunt here for a mo. How many men do you think would even bother talking to todays women if she did not have tits and a pussy ? How many women do you know that you could spend many hours or days with engaged in interesting conversation or leisure persuits?
Spearheaders, sparkling converstationalists all. A regular Algonquin Round Table, with the part of Dorothy Parker played by some random internet misogynist who can’t spell the word “pursuits.”
Gem #3: Peter-Andrew: Nolan(c), offers up some reflections on his life as an Australian expat alpha dog in Germany. And some thoughts about, um, agriculture?
Because I am alpha with a great track record of being a “father and husband” and I have the ability to earn money I have women lining up to have a chance of marrying me. It is good to be at the top of the tree for a change. Shame the tree is about to fall but I am ok with that too. Those below me will cushion my fall.
As my new business venture fleshes out over the next few years I see the following happening. Men will band together to corner the income generation for many areas and they will insist on the “women as chattel property” marriage contract if any marriage at all…..men will exert their dominance in all things that are useful and productive in a competitive environment where they operate outside “guvment control” and the assets they corner will provide women galore.
I am with Angry Harry on this one “men farm cattle and sheep, why not women?” Women have always been “attracted” to the one they think will pay for them. Since we were living in caves. Women are no different today than they were 10,000 years ago. It’s just that we had a highly dystorionate PR system telling us “sugar and spice and everything nice” for a few generations.
And no, “dystorionate” is not a real word, at least in any language I or anyone else on planet Earth is familiar with. Google it, and see.
Nolan’s an Aussie? We sure seem to produce our share of crazy bigoted bastards.
I would love to see all these guys who have clearly never been to Asia ever actually marry an Asian woman. Oh how I would love that. They have No. Earthly. Clue.
“[…]we become more third-world as China becomes more first-world.”
I had a whole thing typed up before my browser froze. It went something like this: I’m no economist. But a good chunk of my studies in University were International Studies, a good portion of which were Political Econ and the changing shape of what we call the Third World (which is not an apt descriptor for so many reasons). As I understand it (and I understand it well): This isn’t how it fucking works. 1. the US economy, even in the current huge downswing, and in spite of a lot of negatives, etc, is still massive. Our standard of living is still disgustingly high compared to so many other places on the globe. and 2. This is how capitalism is *fucking supposed to work*. Actors in the global economy *gain affluence* It’s the whole idea of the damn thing! This sort of fear mongering really grinds my gears because it distracts from things that *actually* make life difficult for people here and abroad.
Second of all: the rest of that is so. goddamn. depressing. Also- it makes me hope that when the apocalypse *does* come? It is wholly opposite what they think.
“I am with Angry Harry on this one “men farm cattle and sheep, why not women?” Women have always been “attracted” to the one they think will pay for them.”
How do you become so broken that you actually think this way?
Men will band together to corner the income generation for many areas and they will insist on the “women as chattel property” marriage contract if any marriage at all
You know … This is how it worked (and still works in many places) for most of recorded history. Only recently, have women been able to have identities apart from chattel goods. These are sick and broken people.
Back to lurkage now, I do enjoy the site and the commentariat (except the mra trolls), but damn, it’s depressing to read too much of the toxic waste that comprises MRA/MGTOW ‘philosophy’. I have to take it small doses.
Many of the posters on MRA web sites (such as the spearhead) are survivors of collective violence, often perpetuated by bigoted civil or criminal courts that are infected with the feminist ideology of man-hate.
Many of the posters on feminist web sites (such as feministe) are survivors of random violence, often perpetuated by demented individual men.
In both cases, survivors of unspeakable crimes rely on the “safe place” of friendly web site to explore ideas and work through emotional injuries.
It should be beneath the dignity of any MRA leader and any feminist leader to root around the dust bin of emotion-laced comments posted by wounded men and women in an attempt to erect a false effigy of the adversary and then burn it down amidst the feverish jeers of the faithful.
If you think that you are finding insight into the MRM by dissecting the comments of deeply wounded individuals, you are naive and misguided.
No MRA leader would stoop to this level. Do you think that Elam or Price would use the comments of female survivors of violence in a desperate attempt to “prove” misandry by the feminist movement?
The MRM looks for evidence of anti-male bigotry and sexism in the laws and practices of government. Why do feminists have to look to the comments of wounded individuals to conjure “evidence” of misogyny?
“Lets be blunt here for a mo. How many men do you think would even bother talking to todays women if she did not have tits and a pussy ? How many women do you know that you could spend many hours or days with engaged in interesting conversation or leisure persuits?”
I keep forgetting that these guys don’t think women are people, just walking wombs. Honestly I have spent “many hours” in interesting conversation with women before, which only reinforces the idea that these folks have either never met a woman before or have spent the entire time staring at their chests.
Days though… I don’t think even I could spend days chatting someone up. I don’t think they could either; you can only get so far constantly calling women chattel and chortling about how dumb the ladies are.
“Because I am alpha with a great track record of being a “father and husband” and I have the ability to earn money I have women lining up to have a chance of marrying me.”
I really… really doubt this is the case, seeing as he had been stalking his previous wife… Or maybe “father and husband” was in scare quotes, and the rest is sarcasm? I think that would be a bit too self-aware.
If we could solve that this blog, and a lot of society’s problems, wouldn’t exist :/
Barbershop Handjobs would make a great name for a rock band.
Rowdy says that the Barbershop Handjob is indeed a thing in Korea. Apparently if an establishment has one barber pole it’s for haircuts and if it has multiple barber poles it’s for “haircuts.”
I don’t actually have a problem with handjob barbershops, in the abstract. I mean, assuming they are being run in a non-exploitative way.
…I just think everything else quoted in the OP is utter bullshit.
I love it how these douchebags just breezily assume that when the economy tanks, they‘ll still have an income and the ability to afford blowjobs and a shave. Sure, sure. Because as middle managers of some crappy regional insurance company about to go under, or as “engineers” with the technical skills of trained macaques, who only still have their jobs and their benefits thanks to unions in their last throws, they are the “producers”, don’t you know. “Job creators”. “Movers and Shakers”. Misogyny plus Ayn Rand plus a generous helping of mental illness = a menage a trois made in heaven.
I’m imagining a barbershop quartet jerking each other off while singing “Sweet Adeline.”
This is all I need to get a handjob and a haircut in the same place. I don’t like being touched by strangers; I put up with it to get my hair cut as infrequently as possible.
@Holly
So it’s like “massage parlor” here.
Or “seamstress” in Ankh-Morpork.
@Amused:
Here’s what gets me:
“You’re right Elmer, every female student is a potential prostitute in the making, once the economy takes a nosedive and they can’t pay their loans.”
Let’s assume for a second that they think a college education is important. You know who else gets saddled with student loans? Male students. What are they gonna be doing when the economy takes a nosedive? Oh right, men are awesome, and will actually get jobs cause of their inherent awesomeness, while women, after making it through a demanding course load to get a degree, will suddenly forget everything they learned and start fussing over hair and shoes.
It all makes sense in a strange, squicky way, but the more you delve into it the more you distance yourself from the real world.
Kirby – If these men are so awesome, though, why do they have no qualms with patronizing haircut-handjob ladies whom they know are doing it out of desperation? Why, in fact, do they seem to be anticipating getting off more on the desperation than on the actual handjob?
These don’t seem like the actions of the morally superior, highly rational gender.

No, it’s because a man’s natural superiority leads him to study important things like engineering and mammoth hunting in college. Skills that will serve him well when society collapses. The women just take silly literature and women’s studies classes, education that only fits them to be chattel.
@Holly:
Oh, I’m sure they could find some way to spin it… Like, it is our duty to help those less fortunate than ourselves. And if that means helping a girl pay for the education she was tricked into by getting a blow job, then by gum it is our civic duty to do so.
They’re philanthropists really.
I wonder if guys would resort to giving hand jobs to pay off their student loans…. It makes sense right? How else could they do it?
In a weird way, this “you’ll regret spitting on betas when the economy crashes!” talk reminds me of zombie movies and other post-apocalyptic fiction. They’re always presented as appealing (sometimes even as escapist wish-fulfillment) to people who see themselves as future survivors, as “what if 99% of people died/zombified–what would you do?”
Well, 99 times out of 100, you’d die. Tough luck. When you see an image of a lone warrior with a shotgun facing down a mall full of zombies, you know where you are in that picture? Third zombie from the left, in front of the Foot Locker.
Uncle Elmer and friends seem to be the sort of people who always imagine themselves as the lone warrior.
“Or “seamstress” in Ankh-Morpork.”
DISCWORLD <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
*goes back to actually read thread*
Well, you know what they say about lone warriors.
There can only be one!
Heeeere we are, born to be kings. We’re the princes of the universe… Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da, ba da da…
Eww. Handjobs? At a barbershop? Where there are razors and blades and stuff? Maybe this is their idea of living on the edge.
