An alert reader pointed me to this amazing “map” from the 1830s, posted on Ptak Science Books and originally found here. Described as “A Map of the Open Country of a Woman’s Heart,” it presents a less-than-flattering picture of the supposed shallowness, vanity and selfishness of the female of the species. Click on the pic above to see it full size.
It’s amazing how closely this resembles so many Manosphere “critiques” of evil modern women; the main difference is that it’s a bit more polite in its language. Also, no mention of stinky vaginas.
Manospherians love to talk about “taking the red pill,” as if their ideas are all new and cool and Matrixy. Actually, of course, their ideas are old as fuck. It’s more like they are taking a gulp of Dr. Flimflam’s Electro Magnetic Misogyny Fluid.
Below, another amazing picture also found on Ptak, which presents data on where women’s eyes linger when looking at men. (Again, click on it to see it full size.) I suspect this one would be a bit more confounding to the Manospherians of today, in that it doesn’t show women looking only at the dude’s wallet. The post on Ptak offers a more detailed explanation of what this picture is about.
But of course. That shuddering? Gina tingles.
Did you see that PUA quote in which he described the look a woman who’s really into you gives you during sex as part fear and part daddy?
Compared to what reading that makes me feel I think I’ll go for the petting a tarantula option.
I think I remember that. IIRC, it wasn’t the standard sex look, it was the look one strived to see as part of being good at sex.
I remember thinking the PUA scene really doesn’t care too much about women’s pleasure except where it can be used as a high score – “I can make HB10’s cum so hard they look at me like I’m their dad crossed with Chewbacca, like women do when they’re feeling really orgasmic, as you should all know!”
If she cries you get extra points! Because women cry when they’re having really great orgasms, you know. And then they get up and put on their 60DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD bras and leave like you want them to, because you’re an alpha now.
You guys, I mean gyns, or something: SPIDERS=FEMINISTS. BECAUSE MANY EAT THEIR MATES AND ALSO “BLACK WIDOWS” AND ALSO HAIRY AND SCARY AND THEY HAVE EIGHT LEGS.
NONE OF WHICH THEY SHAVE!
From the weirdtales link:
And this, right here, is why I am never moving to Australia. *checks* or, wait, Japan, was it? or Hawaii. anywhere, really. I’m not even going to leave this chair, actually. *paranoid 360 degree scan*
also, too, for some reason I am reading this John Connolly mystery even though I have to go to bed soon and it opens with this woman who’s found dead in her car and a literal ecosystem for the brown recluses that killed her. The car is a mass of webbing, and you don’t even want to know where they found the black widows which were presumably stuffed in there for lagniappe.
no, it still isn’t as creepy as most of the manboobz on display here.
I still question my timing.
Only a car full of spiders? There’s a whole forest filled with spiderweb in Texas (I think?), I hear. All the spiders have banded together to act almost as one organism, and that’s in a species that is usually solitary.
Oh God. I’ve seen the pictures for that. GAH.
still, they haven’t actually found a human body strung up in there, have they?
Yet.
Only husks
@Shadow: I know you asked this two pages ago, but I’ve been away from my computer. Sorry.
The surgery I’m meant to have (provided the insurance company agrees) is to correct my bite. I’m told it’s not a major or complicated procedure. The Internet tells me it looks like this:
All in all, I guess there are worse things I could do over spring break.
Why oh why did I look at the spider pics?
And read the spider comments.
My friend had that surgery years ago! It went very well for her. She was just starting first year university at the time, so the jaw-wired shut stage was difficult for finding things to eat on campus. But really, it goes by quickly.
@belledame222
I’m going to think of that next time I find a spider hiding under the car door handle. 😛
I had pet Huntsman spiders when i was younger… AWESOME
Lauralot, I have an overbite too, my sister in law once commented to me (sigh) that i would need to have a jaw operation to correct my facial problem…..
Oops sorry Lauralot, you have an underbite which is slightly different to an overbite 🙂
I have a very weak jaw that means I don’t have a jawline 🙁
I would need to have my bottom jaw broken and pushed forward to give me a jawline and not a turkey neck…
(Yeah MRAL some us have wimminz have fucked up faces too..)
That diagram can’t be accurate, it’s missing point # DAT ASS.
The biggest evil is that modern women are fighting against men while men are protecting them. Feminists are taking the gain of gender hypocrisy today. Feminists do not like to accept that men are protecting them.
Lauralot, a friend of mine recently had the surgery, it went fine.
I just had my tooth implant post put in yesterday, and today the right side of my face looks like Marlon Brando’s in The Godfather. It was Barzini all along!
Why did I click on those spider pics? WHY GOD, WHY?
Awww man! The one night i decide to crash a little early people decide to pull out the wacky wildlife stories!
@Lauralot
Good to hear 😀 My aunt’s an oral surgeon, and realignment is one of her most performed surgeries, so it’s pretty common. Hopefully your insurance company sees it the same way
ozy: Re literotica: It’s, I think, poor writers who think they need to be specific so people will know.
And so many people have no clue about how bra sizes work; esp. men. Male written erotica has some of the worst aspects of this… see my previous parody about, “ten inches of solid man meat.” Why straight guys feel the need to tell other straight guys (the usual audience for that sort of, ‘letter’, how massively over-endowed they are… it makes me think they aren’t having the sort of sex they are boasting about in that letter. The guys I know who are, “hung like horses” have all said it was not the great benefit so many men think; that they’ve been told manual/oral was all they were getting, from some partners.
Which is fine, except that sometimes you want something else.
