Fellas! Have you ever fantasized about a world in which men and women live totally segregated lives, but gotten hung up on what we might call “the stripper problem?” Over on The Spearhead, walking in hell2 has come up with a solution to this dilemma.
I think the next step of the men’s awareness movement should be something like this: a s separation of the sexes.
I would like to see a contractor or developer challenge the system and create a living community for men only: shopping mall, apartments, gym, etc. The legal precedent could be something like the desire for male patrons to avoid any type of legal hassles or the negative perceptions and harassment that are thrown on them by women, white knights, and manginas. I for one would live in such a community just to avoid the disgusting sight, smell, sound, and evil motives of Westernized females. The community could have men’s entertainment, where strippers, etc could come to work, but could not live in the community.
What do we want? Gender Segregation! (Except for Strippers)
When do we want it? Now!
I would also like to see the work place separated into male and female sections, where it would be impossible to hear or see any female coworker during the day.
Once I shared a small office with two women around 15 years older than me. One day one of the women was out of the office. I was talking to the other one and I received a phone call so I had to take it. The women with who I was talking, got angry that I took the call cutting off our conversation. About one minute later she accused me of “coming at her.” I just turned and ignored her. If she wanted, she could have made that accusation to my boss and got me into big trouble. The sick thing is, the woman was so old and ugly, no romantic thought had ever entered my head about her. This was going to be my defense had she pushed her sick agenda.
This is pretty much a textbook example of the concept of the “unreliable narrator” you may recall from English class.
Separate “male only” communities and job spaces are an organized and commercial form of MGTOW. I think it is the next logical step. Western women are just too toxic to mix and live with and not worth the risk of being harassed and falsely accused and sent to prison.
18 upvotes and 2 downvotes, last I checked.
Imma let you finish, walking in hell2, but Anthony Zarat had one of the best male-female segregation videos of all time!

But what if you work in a strip club?
Blindfold and ear plugs?
Brolivia, Menmark, Heden, Menezuela, they could also live near the Hequator.
Oh, buggering blockquotes, that second bit is me.
Somewhere, the inventor of blockquotes is twirling their mustache and cackling with glee.
I guess they can’t imagine a scenario where a woman is the only person in the office who knows the answer to their question.
Guyowa (supposed to rhyme with Iowa), Mentucky, Mennesota, Brohio, and Mennsylvania
Can’t believe no one mentioned Manitoba xD you don’t have to change the name or anything. Plus there’s bears for manly wrestling and hunting!!
though I am partial to Brolivia…
@ clairedammit, BINGO. Which is pretty hilarious to me, given that everyone in my office has a pretty specific role. It’s not impossible for the guys to be able to know or guess or find out on their own about how things work in a lady colleague’s shop, but it is a helluva lot faster to just go ASK that person “hey, about xyz, who is the contact person for that group?” rather than spending all that work time digging for the info you could get by talking to someone in two seconds.
These guys boggle my mind, they really do. I know they are out there, possibly in work spaces like mine no less, but I have a very hard time imagining they would do well at all. Can’t imagine there’s much time to get shit done when so much time is spent avoiding people who are there to help you get it done.
@Shade yes, the inventor of blockquotes is a diabolical villain indeed 😛
ostara321, I have worked with guys who thought like that. Some would even say it out loud, or they’d just completely ignore the women in the office or talk over them. (This was when I worked in IT.) They did not do well at all. I don’t think they ever figured out why either.
It’d be like their own private Guy-daho!
So what would be the best way to make this actually happen? I’m thinking either some sort of Kickstarter pledge drive or else all of us simultaneously shouting “No! No! You mustn’t go! How would we cope without you?”
I’m guessing the overlapping slice in the Venn diagram of “misogynist” and “gay men” is very, very small.
I think the block quote trap is to keep us humble. And it is very, very humbling to do a righteous tear on an on-line asshole, only to undermine your whole rant by screwing the formatting.
Also, I believe the blue curly things in the picture are those plasticky ribbons that you drag across the blade of your scissors, curling them up, to make ribbons for presents. It’s like Sandra Lee tablescaping for parties, only this is obviously much manlier. Manscaping? Erk, no. Never mind.
Has anyone claimed “Manchester” yet?
Also I’m very confused how a sex-segregated workplace would work. Would you have to have interdepartmental meetings via one of those prison-visitation phone booths? Would the people who carry inter-office mail all have to be agender? If a female client or vendor wants to meet with a male staff member, do you assign her a chaperone to restrain her false-accusing instincts or is it sufficient to merely videotape her at all times?
Why does that good fella not convert to Wahabitism and move to Saudi Arabia? Because yeah, that’s basically where he wants to be, that’s the place of his dreams, the nation he longs to belong to.
When I was about… small, probably 5-7 years old, I had a similar idea, except it was based on whether people were mean to me or not. Except it was school playgrounds. The one for mean people was a normal playground, and the one for nice people was super awesome with a city of climbing frames and swings and a monorail. And a library.
I planned to build the nice playground on a small grass verge…
This plan seems equally well thought-out, and with none of the naivity of a small child who didn’t like some of her classmates. (I bet it lacks monorails and libraries.)
Unimaginative:

I wouldn’t say that. Consider, if you will, all the gay men who say “masculine men only” on their dating profiles, who hate on “twinks”, who stridently reply “That man is too gay” and who (this is a real example of a real comment I saw on Youtube) say “I’m gay, and I hate these cliché faggots”. No joke. I’m guessing “twinks” get way more hate from gay men than bears do, and I am way willing to believe misogyny is why. Feminine=inferior.
I’m not a gay man, nor do I know much about gay culture, but there is plenty of misogyny and homophobia in gay male culture. It’s just a little less obnoxious.
I read enough slash to also know that internalized misogyny among young women (who write slash at least) is through the roof. Like, holy shit. But that’s for another day.
Something tells me this wouldn’t be a “separate but equal” plan if only in the language used to develop it.
I love that the first thing he mentions is a shopping mall. Just what men crave; their own mall! Are these mtgowers or teenage girls? And THIS is his idea of the “next logical step?”
I suppose in this segregated office scenario, it would only be a matter of time before the women are blamed for never being available or putting out.
I vote for ‘Loserville’. Nil points for punworthiness but a solid 10 for accuracy.
This idea is one mras are always accusing feminist of plotting secretly (only in reverse) where it’s a women run world and men are disposable. Only he’s actually spelling it out.
@Molly Ren,
I am kind of imagining the Ron Swanson version of a mall-Disneyland, where there are 24 hour breakfast buffets, camping stores with 100 foot high bears, all the clothing is plaid and the entire food court involves bacon.
God, I loves me some parks and rec.
But, apparently, not html tags.
