Well, here’s a new twist on the whole “women love assholes” thing. According to the blogger known as Vox Day – a sort of right-wing/PUA hybrid – the best way for a fella to capture the attention of a comely lass is to rape and murder another comely lass. Yep. He seems to have confused “Game” — that is, pick-up artist trickery — with The Most Dangerous Game. Oh, Vox stops short of recommending that his readers actually go out and murder women, but he argues this women-love-killers argument in all seriousness:
I don’t believe I could recommend this as a strategy for most men, but it is surely educational to learn that raping and killing a woman is demonstrably more attractive to women than behaving like a gentleman. And women, before all the inevitable snowflaking commences, please note that there is absolutely nothing to argue about here. It is an established empirical fact.
His empirical “proof” of this assertion? The fact that some Japanese women have set up online fan clubs for Tatsuya Ichihashi, an accused murderer.
From this one data point, Vox seems to have made a somewhat hasty generalization based on the notion that all women are the same person – that is, if one woman thinks or does something, all women think or do that same thing.
Yes, there are women — and men — who find themselves attracted to vile human beings. Some women idolize murderers. Some men think Ann Coulter is hot. That doesn’t mean that all women idolize murderers or that all men want to get it on with Ms. Coulter. It just means that some people have really, really, really appalling taste.
But let’s just assume for a moment that Vox’s basic premise is true: all women love violent psycopaths,. If you’ want to get with the ladies, but aren’t so hard up for a date that you’re actually willing to resort to homicide, is there some other way you convey what a violent psychopath you are to the ladies of the world? Yep, says Vox:
[I]f you are being introduced to a woman you find attractive, she will be more attracted to you if you slap her in the face without warning and walk away without explanation than if you smile and tell her that you are very pleased to meet her. Now this, being a mere hypothesis, can be argued. And tested, if you’re feeling especially scientific this weekend.
I really hope none of his readers take him up on this.
Is Vox being altogether serious about this? Yes and no. About the idea that women love killers? Absolutely serious. About actually assaulting women? He’s a bit more cagey. On his blog Alpha Game, Vox elaborates:
Women find it sexier for you to rape and kill a woman than putting them on pedestals and being a nice guy. I’m not saying that you should rape and kill anyone, but I would recommend, at the very least, dropping the nice guy routine and pushing over the pedestals.
Women have plenty of positive attributes. But they’re not angels, and when it comes to what sexually attracts them, even the nice, well-bred ones are more insanely twisted, from the male perspective, than the average serial killer.
So apparently the only truly happy couples in the world are those in which both partners think like serial killers.
What a romantic!
I think we should call it a Milk-In, as an act of solidarity with lefty tradition.
Developers^3:
Why is this bad? Honest question, not trying to snark on you: why is your world poorer now that you know that not everyone in it is like you?
What are his stats/level/class?
The adult response to this: I haz a sad! Then I got better.
And scene.
And just like that, Hengist went his own way, ’cause tits are gross. What a tragedy. Think of it: only a few short weeks ago, Hengist was a fresh-faced, idealistic lad who didn’t know anything about the men’s rights movement or anything, and only hated women a tiny little bit (more as an extension of loving his dad than anything else), and only stumbled on this site inadvertently and totally by accident, honest!! He came here, to our sandbox, all soft and cuddly, full of rose-colored hopes and dreams. Or maybe they were powder-blue dreams or what whimsical catalogues call “robin’s egg”. I don’t know. I certainly don’t want to emasculate anyone by suggesting his hopes and dreams were a girly color. So let’s just say they were soft, pastel-colored dreams. Or hard dreams, let’s allow that too. Maybe plaid. And what did we do? We refused to worship his cock. Which was plentiful “provocation” for him to call us names and shit. Now he knows that women and non-woman-hating men don’t worship his cock, therefore women hate men, therefore women are evil. We just minted a new miggytow.
*sobs inconsolably*
I could venture a guess for his Charisma…
Actually, it’s the same guess for his other stats too.
Bye, Hengist. I’d say don’t let the door hit you on the way out, but considering that the world and everything in it revolves around your penis, it’s probably a futile warning.
So Hengist fled because CassandraSays wouldn’t show him her drivers license and he wasn’t allowed to discuss anyone’s personal information? Good heavens.
Not that there’s anything wrong with aspergers, but I’m starting to wonder if movements like mra attract people with elements of it for obvious reasons
Oh, what a nice “I’m just wondering, don’t tell me I’m being ableist” question. So there’s you think nothing wrong with people with aspergers but they are more likely to be misogynistic asshats that other people. So open-minded of you.
Or are you trying to justify misogynistic asshats by saying that they can’t help it, it’s a disease? No. Just no.
And “obvious reasons”? Not so obvious. Kindly explain what these “obvious reasons” are.
