The man behind The Black Pill blog – formerly known as Omega Virgin Revolt – would like to go his own way, he really would. But he’s been feeling a bit stymied on that front, because no matter where on earth he might go, it doesn’t seem far enough away for him.
In a recent post, he looked at some of the solutions that have been suggested for discerning Men Going Their Own Way like himself, and found them all a bit wanting.
Becoming an expat?
I have been sympathetic to the idea of expating, but I haven’t really seen its value. Most men who do it think they can find a different type of woman outside of the US or outside of Western countries. While that may appear to be the case for now, women are the same everywhere … Wherever you go, there you are in a misandrist nation and culture.
What about going somewhere where there aren’t any women – or men – at all? Still not good enough.
Even more radical expating ideas like seasteading, cities in Antarctica, etc. still are too limited. It’s too easy to travel to anyplace on Earth so such places can’t be used to escape women and manginas.
So Mr. Black Pill decides to look beyond the confines of this puny planet.
[W]e have to look to space to escape women and manginas.
But not even a one-way trip to Mars will get Mr. Pill far enough away from his earthly tormenters.
Even then the Moon, Mars, and anywhere else in the solar system probably still won’t be enough (although they too can be used as stepping stones for further expating/escape). We need to look to other star systems and beyond.
Mr. Pill has his eye on one star system in particular:
We need to look towards a place like the Tau Ceti star system. Places like that are where we can develop a civilization completely free from matriarchy.
Hmm. Tau Ceti is a sun-like-star only 12 light years away, and one of its planets may lie in what scientists describe as the “habitable zone” — neither too near or too far from Tau Ceti to support life. That’s the good news. The bad news? Well, the planet in the “habitable zone” has five times the mass of earth. (Not a good planet for basketball. And you can forget about getting help from friends when you move.) Oh, and it’s being pretty much constantly battered by meteorites from the giant cloud of space debris that orbits Tau Ceti.
But no worries! Mr. Pill is confident that we can work out these little kinks.
While the planets around Tau Ceti may not be ideal for us, this isn’t a problem. Terraforming will take care of some of it. The rest can be handled by genetic engineering and/or becoming cyborgs. This is a good thing because we need to remove genetics that predispose us to be manginas anyway so we might as well make more changes while we’re at it.
Could we have tails too? I’ve always wanted a tail.
You may think this is some far off future that you will never see in your lifetime. While it will be a long time before there’s an exodus to another start system like Tau Ceti, other parts of this vision are already in progress. For example, the development of cyborgs in primitive form is proliferating in areas such as finance.
It’s true. Soon all bankers will look like this:
Mr. Pill ends on a hopeful note:
While no one is going to be getting on a spaceship to another star system tomorrow, this is a vision we can realize. …
Just as our ancestors had to choose to leave the Great Rift Valley a long time ago to find a better life, we must do the same on a larger level. It’s going to take a long time and a lot of work, but we must do it. It’s the only way to build a better human civilization.
There’s really only one way this plan could fail, and that’s if Mr. Pill’s counterparts arrive at the Tau Ceti system a couple of hundred years from now only to discover its habitable planet already inhabited.
By these gals.
Or maybe these, with a scantily clad mangina in tow:
Says everything you need to know that he considers this near-infinite amount of effort to still be easier to accomplish than admitting he might be wrong and examining his attitudes.
I would like to endorse these fine gentleman leaving the planet as soon as they possibly can.
This is such a weird blending of optimistic (humanity developing the tech to colonize other worlds) and self pitying cynicism that I can’t even process it without feeling smoke should come out of my ears.
Sexist Pigs… IN SPAAAACE!
Since he’s already living in science fiction land, why doesn’t he just upload his brain to a virtual program where women don’t exist? Seems like it’d be a lot cheaper and faster than trying to live on a super earth on the edge of a habitable zone of a star surrounded by deadly space debris.
Never mind that current space rules dictate that no nation or corporation can own a celestial object. Him and his pals can move to a new planet, but unless he’s bringing a very large space army with him, he can’t stop others from settling there as well.
Many years ago I suddenly realised that the hominids who first left the Great Rift Valley were most probably the ones who weren’t tough/clever enough to rise in their local status hierarchy, and it’s made me vastly amused at all the chestbeating about pioneers generally that tends to go on in many origin stories.
It’s not necessarily a terrible character flaw to realise that one’s opportunities might be better in a different region than the one you were born in, but it’s hardly a universal that the ones who leave are always somehow braver or more adventurous re surviving and thriving than the ones who stay. Sometimes they were kicked out for being troublemakers that the community would no longer tolerate, and some of those times the community was rigid and autocratic and shortsighted to do so, and others of those times the community was legitimately self-protective to do so. Then of course there’s all the times that migrations from a point of origin were due to environmental disasters that necessitated relocation for the whole community, and nobody was more adventurous or farsighted than anybody else about the need to move on, they just did what needed to be done.
tl;dr Dude got seriously fantastical pre-history notions
“Could we have tails too? I’ve always wanted a tail.”
David, you’re a mangina because you respect women and mock people who think they should be kept as sex-slaves. You can’t go! No tail for you!
In all seriousness, I’m loling so hard at this guy’s dreams of getting away from women including BECOMING A CYBORG. Dude, besides the obvious ridiculousness of that concept, just think: if you created a society without women and manginas, who would you hate? Do you think you can give up your entire identity like that?
I like how the only reason building a city in Antarctica seems impractical is because women might move there as well.
So go to Tau Ceti, just go already. Nobody will miss you, loserdudes. Oh, and fuck the idea of cities in Antarctica, that land has trouble enough without you morons adding to it. Though if you build your city on collapsing ice, that might be a win, too.
As for men with tails, David, someone beat you to it a couple of years ago. (He reported that the feeling of an extended spine was very strange, the urge to chase the tail almost irresistible, but has curiously refused to repeat the experiment.)
🙂
I… I have no words.
No, wait, I do got some.
In addition to all the bullshit that’s just obvious and up-front (the need to isolate from women; in-our-lifetime exploration of other solar systems), there’s also two implicit assumptions here that really need to be addressed:
1: MGTOWs will be the first to develop this technology, all on their own.
2: No women, or even manginas, will ever develop it (or even just copy it from the MGTOW inventors).
Because if both of these are not true, then Tau Ceti is, in the end, just another Antarctica.
This reads kinda troll/Poe-ish to me.
I could tell him where to go, and what he can do to himself on the way there.
But that would be impolite.
How does he know Tau Ceti isn’t already a matriarchy? Maybe manginas from another planet got there first.
To the Moooooooon, Alice!
(No, wait, he hates Alice. And Betty. And Christine. And…)
Dude, have you ever considered that the problem…is YOU?
Also…remember the artificial womb scenario? These dudes seem to forget that if they reproduce without women, THEY are the ones who will be stuck with the mangina job of changing all those poopy diapers. And they’re already waddling around with a full pantload as it is…
“Oh just terraform a planet”
It’s that entitled attitude where they think technology will just solve their problems for them. These are people who’ve never even briefly considered the effort involved in raising crops on this planet that already supports human life.
They just think that they can shoot magic robots ahead of them that will “terraform” a planet for them.
Also, from a sociological standpoint, once divorced(ha) from women, it’s curious what outgroup bigotry these guys would develop deep-seated unnecessary hatred for. Sure they’d all get by on collective “women good riddance” for a couple years, but then what? Racism gets my vote.
@Bina
Oh, of course. This answers my question from my previous post. They’re going to hate the men who necessarily take on traditionally female job roles. Because, of course they would.
As someone who has dedicated a significant amount of his time studying Antarctica and developing a fascination with this amazing continent, I would like any MRA and MGTOWers to stay the hell away from it and keep their “menz colonies” out of there. (Besides, haven’t they seen The Thing ’82? Those all-male societies in Antarctica have some downsides.)
They wouldn’t like the whore female penguins anyway.
I remain fascinated by these dudes’ ideas about how genetics operate.
So, who are these MGTOWs of the future, who will slip the surly bonds of Earth? Since there is, apparently, a mangina gene that MGTOWs miraculously lack, MGTOWs have an obligation to breed in order to pass along that genetic quirk and secure future generations of ill-informed misogynists.
But … how will they do that without women? Trans men represent the only alternative to women, but trans men don’t seem to exist in their world.
Maybe this is why they can’t seem to go their own way already. They’re sacrificing themselves for the sake of the future!
OK, I’m really, really, really confused. I thought the whole MGTOW thing was “men going their own way” without need or concern for what women want or need.
Why don’t they just … you know … go their own way? You know…an MGTOW needs a woman like a fish needs a bicycle.
Is it the cooties?
Women and manginas! women and manginas everywhere!
It’s amusing that his excuse for not going his own way, already is that the woman and “manginas” will just follow him there.
Sure, dude, whatever. I’m pretty sure that if he just moved to some remote location, no woman or “mangina” would be beating a path to his door, or anything.
Can we start a kickstarter fund or something to help these poor, oppressed menz get started on this vitally important human rights issue? I mean, I would totes pay much money to watch this guy hop on a rocket bound for outer space.
Well, per the above post, the complaint is that even if they cut women out of their lives, they are stuck living in a ‘misandrist’ society and nation, where the pervasive influence of women becomes impossible to ignore. Women appear in the media, MGTOWs have to see them when they walk down the street, there may even be a small number of women they are forced to interact with on a regular basis at work or while shopping. This, the claim goes, makes it utterly impossible for them to actually avoid women, who, of course, automatically wreck the life of any man they come in contact with, leaching out his vital life-essence through osmosis while ensuring that he cannot succeed among his peers by erecting a vast social conspiracy that keeps him from achieving his rightful place in society.
So, yeah, basically, cooties.
MGTOWs also strike me as like kids threatening to run away from home. “I’ll go away forever and then you’ll be sorry!” But they don’t really want to “go their own way,” they want people – women especially – to beg them to stay and promise to do whatever they want so that they’ll stay. And of course, when this doesn’t happen, they have to flail around to find an ego-sparing reason why. Hence, women and “manginas” won’t let them leave.
That’s my theory, anyway.
@ sparky – sounds about right! I mean, if they really wanted to go their own way, they would. I’m sure there are some MGTOW’s who do go their own way, but we never hear about them because, you know, gone their own way. Instead, we just hear about the whiners who won’t farking leave.
