Oh, ladies, must you complain so much? I mean, who cares if every time you say something on the internet some random dude threatens to rape you? White and Nerdy, the dude behind the Omega Virgin Revolt blog, doesn’t care, and he wants you to know it:
#mencallmethings is just another example of how women (in first world countries) don’t have any actual problems. Between the government and manginas doing everything for women, no woman has any true problems. Any “problem” a woman has is because of one of these reasons:
1. A desire for the equivalent of fried ice. IOW she wants something that is physically impossible.
2. Failed attempts at defrauding, stealing from, or otherwise attempting to enslave men.
That’s it. When a woman has to go through 1% of what a typical non-alpha man has to go through then maybe she can talk about having actual problems. Until that happens women should keep their mouths shut.
Exactly. We need to stop talking about men raping women to focus on the much more important issue of women not having sex with White and Nerdy.
But I am wondering about one thing. Is it possible that the women in question were asking for fried rice instead of fried ice? Because fried rice is totally a thing, and if you call up the proper restaurant someone will literally bring it to your door.
Now I’m hungry.
FYI, Peter Andrew Nolan posted on menarebetterthanwoman.com as “newly single” then “globalman”, he also donated money to Dick Masterson as he thought he was an MRA. I think the general consensus is Dick Masterson is a comedian who is making money from delusional MRAs.
Arks, please tell us of your personal sufferings as a man and a provide a sample of your superior prose resulting from your struggle through life.
“Arks, please tell us of your personal sufferings as a man and a provide a sample of your superior prose resulting from your struggle through life.”
In other words, “I’d like to see you do better! neener neener neener!”
Still, you provide a good example of the kind of arrested development I’m talking about in women. While men develop their understanding of logic, cause-and-effect and reasoning through conflict and self-development, women like yourselves, who have the privelege of coasting through life, never progress beyond that infant-like perspective.
So take that you big smelly poopyhead.
So, some men do, just not you?
Am I right?
David Icke is a perfect example of a man with a well-developed “understanding of logic, cause-and-effect and reasoning through conflict and self-development,” don’t you think? Does anyone else want to propose some equally brilliant examples? How about Andrew Wakefield?
See, this kind of foolishness is absurdly simple to debunk. Then, of course, there’s Arks himself, who seems detached from logic, causal relationships, and so on, especially if he thinks that women don’t produce good art and that this is a result of cushy lives.
Oh, and Arks may want to note that the only use of the term “Arrested Development” accepted by the medical community these days concerns a TV show featuring David Cross.
Arks: Two really good female writers, off the top of my head: Laurie R King and Lois McMaster Bujold. Or how about Jane Austen? Gwerful Mechain? Hmmmm… Sherri Tepper. Virginia Woolf. bell hooks. Jeanne Ray. Rita Mae Brown.

Arks: You seriously call being broke, unemployed, depressed and in constant pain coasting through life? Is someone who spent six months watching their father slowly disappear as cancer ate his brain and go straight into full time, live in caretaking for their grandmother with Alzheimer’s for two years (who also dies after a protracted battle with pneumonia) just skating along on Big Brother’s dime? Because it sure as shit didn’t work out that way for me. I’m not claiming life is a garden path for men, but saying that women lead a charmed existence due to the simple fact of their gender is really, really fucking stupid. And insulting.
Hmm, what’s the best option to embed YouTube videos here?
I agree, but would also add that, just like the girls that they disparage of, the ones who they say don’t give the time of day to the boys who, like themselves, aren’t Brad Pitt look-alikes (I’m just keeping with the seemingly popular “Brad Pitt” theme here), they don’t notice the girls who aren’t Angelina Jolie look-alikes, and believe that having “game” will “make” those unattainable girls want them. Snake oil, for sure!!
The problem with Arks’s argument is that for every starving artist in a garret that he can come up with, I can name an artist of equivalent or superior stature who was born into wealth and privilege and who wanted for nothing.
And, more to the point, artists often managed to achieve what they achieved thanks to the support of their family – most specifically their partner’s willingness to take on all the tedious, time-sucking domestic chores that get in the way of creating their masterpieces. Until comparatively recently, it was vanishingly rare for that partner to be male.
I coined the idea of ‘sexual marxism” because it’s what many MRAs want : Eliminate the upper class (the alpha males) and after that, the government assign a virgin supermodel to each of the beta.
I’ve read the epic battle between the pro and anti-game and I don’t think that the anti-game have won, game is still popular in the manosphere. As an example there a Christian guy called Dalrock that admire Roissy/Heartiste and Roosh and says that pastors should learn game :

Hey, if you want an example of a woman who turned her pain and struggles into art, check out Artemesia Gentileschi. What she went through in the process of becoming one of her era’s most acclaimed artists is pretty harrowing.
I have one name for you, you insipid fool. Maria Anna Mozart. She was as brilliant as her brother Wolfgang, and her father brought them both on tour as children. She often received top billing above her brother. However, because she was female, as soon as she was old enough to marry she was sent back home and her musical talents were ignored. Their parents focused all of their energies on Wolfgang from that point on.
She’s also the perfect example of why men like you are full of shit when they try to claim that women aren’t capable of artistic greatness. Just because the talent is being ignored does not mean it doesn’t exist.
NWO, insightful as ever:
“@Shora
“I’m twenty years old and I pay for all of my expenses while going to school full time. I have to balance working enough to eat and pay rent while also leaving enough time to study so I can maybe get a real job after I graduate.”
You pay for all your own expenses plus college on a part time job? Well hell, that’s about what, 40k a year for no more than 20 hours of work a week? Let me give you a piece of advice. Quit school and go full time with your present part time job. With a little overtime, maybe a total of 45 hours of work a week, you’ll pull down a 100k a year.”
Firstly, student loans/government educational grants. Hundred quid a week does not pay for college fees O.o.
Secondly, dude, if I had the opportunity to make 100k a year out of my part time, minimum wage job, I wouldn’t have bothered going to college. Why, the economy is so thriving that small retail businesses are just throwing money at people these days. Seriously, do you live in a cave on Mars?
And here’s another: Clara Schumann, wife of Robert Schumann.
Now there’s little serious doubt he was the greater composer in terms of achievement – but she was no mean talent herself as both composer and performer, and if she hadn’t devoted much of her life to raising their children (eight in total, just one of whom died in infancy), as well as running her husband’s life and financial affairs (especially as he became increasingly mentally unstable), who’s to say that she wouldn’t have achieved far more?
In fact, her achievements are pretty damn impressive given the many, many other pressures on her life – she’d certainly have been a significant figure in 19th-century German music even if it hadn’t been for her famous husband. Indeed, for most (perhaps even all?) of their time together she was the major earner as a renowned concert pianist.
Gratz kirby on making it to FactFinder’s blog. Though, if the what he quoted you on was what he considered a “fact”, then god help him.
Feminists having fun!!! It’s satire!!! This must be the artistic greatness to which blitzgal is alluding. To Ozy, Holly, Molly and all the rest who I’ve neglected to note have blogs. Don’t bother pretending to care about men, this video is feminism. I gave all of you a chance to petition against tyranny.
Arks:
As anyone with an education could tell you there are many damed fine woman writers out there, plenty of whom suffered greatly and showed great character and perseverance in pursuing their professions. KathleenB has already mentioned some, to which I would add Sylvia Plath, Emily Dickinson and the Bronte sisters. Women are not and never have been immune to life’s sufferings, nor has there always been a “safety net” to catch them. Shit happens and it happens to everyone, regardless of gender. Women do not live protected lives, most of us work, raise families, deal with money issues, serious illness, foundering relationships and indeed, everything that most men need to deal with.
When you talk about women being protected in the past, you are looking at a tiny subset of women from wealthy and/or noble families, who may have been coddled to some extent but they paid for that with complete lack of freedom and obedience to father, husband and later, sons. Working class women, who were far more numerous, worked hard, under harrowing conditions, which eventually often killed them. Women and children worked down mines, in unsafe conditions, just like men did during the Industrial Revolution. Working in mills, which was the other main option, was no safer. Women who worked on and made their living from helping to run farms were left destitute along with their families during the enclosure and I see no safety net there for man, woman or child. They either starved or they moved to the forming industrial and mining areas, where they tended to live very short, hard lives. If my memory serves the life expectancy of a woman miner or mill worker was about six years. And this was less than 150 years ago.
To say that women live and have always lived easy, cushy lives is just ignorant bullshit. Go and read a book on Shaftsbury or the Industrial revolution.
NWO that video was sick. No one here condones that kind of shit.
Off the top of my head I can think of Maria de Zayas (The Disenchantments of Love, etc.), whoever the author of La Princesse de Cleves is (it’s uncertain, usually Madame de Lafayette), and Murasaki Shikibu (The Tale of Genji). Three aristocratic women who made great art and also likely had comparatively cushy lives for their day. Thus, even if you agreed with Arks’ stupid ideas about women as a group having more secure lives than men, zie is still wrong.
Protip: you have to actually have a thing before you can explain why that thing is.
“this video is feminism”
That was five psychotic women, not feminism. I’m really, really hoping it was faked. That shouldn’t happen to anyone (note: anyONE, meaning “any man,” “any woman,” “any child.” Hell, an animal doesn’t deserve that.)
I think NWO is disappointed we’re not cheering these women on.
I don’t even understand what NWO’s video is about. What’s SCUM?
@Joanna:
Agreed. I’m honestly feeling a little gut-punched. Throwing up at that might still be an option, as far as my stomach is concerned.
And I should probably say “six psychotic women,” as there was someone behind the camera. I can’t imagine what has to happen to a person to get that fucked up. They should be locked up for life with daily visits to a psychiatrist.
