The daffy, excitable Man Going His Own Way who calls himself MarkyMark may be my favorite manosphere blogger of all. Not only does he bring the lulz himself – who can forget the time he wrote a completely unironic point by point rebuttal of an Onion article? – but he also helps to bring attention to the equally stupefying work of others.
In his latest post, he directs our attention to some observations made by fellow MGTOWer Spock’s Disciple on the Happy Bachelors forum on the subject of pussy and its discontents. “This is good stuff, stuff my boys need to read,” Mark writes. “[Spock’s Disciple], like his hero, applied cold hearted logic when analzying pussy. The Force is STRONG with that one!”
Yes, he actually wrote that. I don’t think it’s a joke. I think he honestly does not know that there is a difference between Star Trek and Star Wars. How that is possible, I do not know.
Anyway, on to the eminently rational Spock’s Disciple, reflecting on the irrational power of the ladybits:
Remember that pussy is a biochemical WMD; wherever it is used, there is mass chaos and destruction. How many wars and conflicts have been fought at the urging and behest of women? More than any honest man would admit to and would be proud of.
Young men are apparently helpless in the face of the punany:
The need for pussy is a very real and built in addiction for men. We are hardwired by nature for sex and procreation. … [T]he sight and sound of pussy blinds younger men and allows them to be controlled by women though their hormones.
The, uh, SOUND of pussy? If I had to pick just two (or three, or four) sensory experiences relating to the vagina that would be generally considered appealing to heterosexual males, I’m not sure “sound” would make the cut.
But eventually even the horniest dudes start to get less horny – and thus less hypnotized by the power of the pussy. The only trouble is that by the time they lose interest in sex most of them are married, and they’re now stuck with the woman whose vagina formerly had them in thrall. It’s a grave injustice.
[W]hen most men pass the age of 30-35, they begin to awaken from this biochemical “dream” and what do they awaken beside? What do married men look forward to the next 30-50 years of their lives? Sleeping with a living corpse, which continues to torture and destroy them day by day? Looking forward to the time when the woman undergoes the process of metamorphosis, into a completely insane mummy (menopause and post menopause)?
This seems a tad alarmist. I mean, if your wife turns into a monster zombie-mummy – as all women apparently do after they hit their mid-thirties – you could always get separate bedrooms.
But Obi-Wan’s Spock’s Disciple has a more radical solution: don’t get into bed with the ladies in the first place!
Pussy is indeed way overrated and if younger men could get a shot of “anti-testosterone” for a few weeks, they could see through the eyes of men who are 40+; without the haze of hormones, you cannot believe how much farther you can see! It’s the difference between seeing the horizon through LA style smog and seeing the horizon from a high mountain in the Rockies.
Pussy is a man’s Achilles heel; once that man realizes this and takes the appropriate steps, he’ll never lose his peace of mind again. To these skeptical young men I say, there is an infinitely vast arena where you can have anything you desire, and can succeed at anything you wish to try for; all you have to do is see women for what they truly are, and become a master of the beast within; once you do that women’s true face will be visible to you, and you’ll never again partake of that foul potion.
It is possible to tame that beast, and indeed it is a certainty that you will learn much from the process of taming it; all it takes is patience and time. Look at your fellow men, your brothers in arms, and look at their almost invisible chains, and wonder at why you would desire such an existence for yourself?
And, hey, if all else fails, MarkyMark adds some advice of his own: pay a visit to Pamela Handerson before going out on the town with one of those vagina-people.
[T]here is one thing that the younger men can do until their sex drives die down permanently: masturbate before going out with a woman. … To put it another way, since the little head had been, shall we say, quieted down, the bigger head could work properly; the bigger head will then allow you to see a woman for who she REALLY is.
If you’re a fan of Spock, and looking for appropriate masturbatory material, might I suggest this?
@Spearhafoc: Most of those pictures are aesthetically pleasing to look at. And most of the women look nice in those dresses. That’s about it.
I am an atheist. And I commented on your watching his videos because I found it very telling that you were linking to another narcissistic asshat, not because he’s an atheist.
Also, linking to a man who has made videos about how raising children with religion is child abuse and how there are no lasting effects from sexual abuse (which I find especially disturbing when it comes from a man who has admitted to having sexual fantasies about children) really isn’t the best way to augment an argument.
@Lauralot: Oh my god…not fantasies! Those magical things that aren’t even real and only exist in your mind. By your logic, everyone is a scumbag because I would bet most people have actually thought of killing someone they dislike.
He can have all the creepy illegal fantasies he wants…I will call him a shithead criminal if he turns those fantasies into actions.
Also, religion is not my cup of tea either and I can see parts of it harming children. The idea that there is enough evidence to support the claim that there is a god is laughable and religion mostly serves an emotional function. One that makes people feel all warm and fuzzy…the idea that life has, without a doubt purpose.
And don’t get me started on the church…child diddling criminals.
Brandon:
If you can’t see where this may just a tiny bit problematic, you are beyond stupid.

@Hellkell: No…I am making the radical claim that feminists don’t always stand up for women.
I don’t care, in a vacuum, if he fantasizes about kids. I do care that someone who fantasizes about children is also claiming that childhood sexual abuse is not damaging and that it’s much more harmful to your child to have them raised Catholic than it is to have them raped by a member of the clergy.
Of course you are, dear.
Of course you don’t see why a man explaining why feminism doesn’t stand up for women (whatever that means) is a problem. It’s exactly like some old white man laying out “what’s wrong with black people.” It’s insulting as shit.
If under the impression that feminists always agree with each other or that there’s some Supreme Hivemind, you’re sorely and sadly mistaken.
@ Lauralot – yeah, I don’t really care what people fantasize about as long as it remains in their own head. When they’re making self-serving arguments that if one acts on those fantasies it’s not at all bad or harmful to others, though, we have a problem.
Brandon: Where does it say that a core tenet of feminism is standing up for every single individual woman in all circumstances?
Because, gee I’ve only been a feminist for twenty-eight years and must have missed that somewhere.
I’m beginning to think that Brandon grew up like the Jim Carrey character in The Truman Show, to be honest.
@Hellkell: Of course it is insulting to you…you are a feminist. If I walked into a Catholic church and said anything that challenged their dogma…they would be offended too.
But I could go to an atheist convention and say the same thing about Catholics to the atheists and I doubt they would get offended. Why? Because they dismiss religious dogmas and ideologies. Just like I dismiss the usefulness of feminism.
So, like, the fact that he sneers at rape, dismisses rape by coercion and human trafficking, and visibly sputters with rage when trying to comprehend the idea that controlling what a woman does with her body is on the same continuum as rape doesn’t mean that this guy hates women. My mistake.
I also like the fact that he totally mischaracterizes the elevator incident, but that probably says more about how stupid and disingenuous he is than how much he hates women. Calling Rebecca Watson a bitch, on the other hand …
@CassandraSays: he reminds me of what my dad will say when dealing with the rude/ignorant, “born in the basement and never brought up.”
Do you even listen to yourself or do you just…say…things? Pecunium, you’re right: there’s no there there, emotions just come into his head and then words come out of his mouth. When he levels up, he’ll be Arendt’s portrayal of Eichmann.
I’m going to really reach here and just call it generally insulting to all women–feminists and non–that some dude thinks he knows what’s what with them. That’s where you’re missing the point.
Brandon: Feminism is not a hive mind. Catholicism is not a hive mind. Whatever other group you’d like to characterize as all believing the exact same things based on dogma is not a hive mind. There are Catholics who will debate religion without getting angry. There are Catholics who believe in gay marriage, birth control, or abortion. There are many, many different types of feminists in the world.
And if you yourself follow various feminist tenets, as you said earlier, how can you dismiss the usefulness of feminism? Where do you think those tenets came from?
@Voip: Just because I don’t believe in Religion and God doesn’t automatically make me an atheist. Atheism actively denies God…I do not.
@Hellkell: Ok, so my point of view is easily dismissed as mansplain’ because I am a man. Well how about a woman that against feminism?
I think this is my favorite Amazing Atheist video so far:
Yes, Brandon, feminists think all women are right all the time. That’s why Ann Coulter is so respected in feminist circles.
We’ve been caught in your ingenious trap of intrickery. You sure showed us, boy howdy.
If you’d bothered to read, you would have seen that none of us are claiming that all women agree on feminism or with each other about everything. Not a hive mind.
Does your programming just scan keywords and take it from there? Jesus.
Brandon, if you were any denser, you’d sink below the earth’s crust.
So Brandon went to go look for a NAWALT thinking we’d care and hadn’t seen it before? Yawn-ness.
Seriously? I mean, they’re all pretty stupid, from what I’ve seen so far, but … it’s a guy ranting nonsensically. What’s to like?
You don’t get to say this after specifically stating that the evidence points best to the conclusion that there is no god. That is the position that there is no god, arrived at conditionally; that is atheism. Atheism isn’t only the position that there could never possibly have ever been a god, only that there is no god. I hate people like you, who can’t own up to the label they legitimately believe in, because they’re just that scared of social pressure and buzzwords. Of course, you’ll play it off with your greater narcissism field, where you are an individual island in a sea of sheeple atheists and don’t believe in some dogma which you can’t even articulate, so it doesn’t surprise me.
Mind, I am an atheist, and another narcissist in the group doesn’t really surprise or annoy me. I’m annoyed at cowards who lack the courage of their convictions to admit to their positions.
