Return of Kings contributor “Billy Chubbs,” whose previous contributions to the wisdom of the ages include posts titled Men Should Not Help Sluts, Bangable Women Can Still Be Gross, and Unmarried Older Women Need To Go Away, has outdone himself in the awfulness department with a post this week attacking 17-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai as “A Coward And A Hypocrite.”
Apparently inspired by Chubbs’ bold move, the Sarkeesian-hating, Anton LaVey-looking far-right nitwit Davis Aurini has junped on the bandwagon with his own blog post dissing Malala.
We’ll get to him in a minute. But first, Chubbs.
It’s hardly surprising that a writer for a site that portrays women as emotionally immature, intellectually inferior, and “inherently terrible people” would have a problem with a young woman known around the world for her courageous advocacy on behalf of education for girls.
But Chubbs attempts to portray himself as a true defender of “oppressed girls in crappy countries” and an enemy to “anti-female extremists.” Yes, that’s right: a man who has described young women as “society’s mobile sperm banks” and single women over 30 as “unappealing and repulsive … hoebags” is trying to pretend that he’s better advocate for girls’ and women’s rights than Malala Yousafzai.
His evidence that Malala is a “coward and a hypocrite?” The fact that she has not returned to Pakistan since being literally shot in the face by a Taliban assassin.
The reason the Taliban shot Malala in the head was to send a message that they would attack girls who wanted to get a western-style education. …
Getting shot in the head is pretty extreme, and I could respect Malala if she took it and continued to live in Pakistan. But she ran. She gave up. The extremists won unequivocally …
Malala has done more harm than good to oppressed girls in crappy countries. She says books and education are what we need to change the world, then proved that completely untrue after she ran away when a man with a gun fired a bullet into her.
Yes, what a coward for “running away” after a guy shot her in the face, say Billy Chubbs, a dude who claim to fame in the world is writing clickbait blog posts attacking women, under what I assume is a pseudonym, on a website run by a professional pickup guru who feels resentful that he has to wipe his own ass in order to appeal to women.
Malala has been an activist for education and against the Taliban since the age of 11, when she started writing a blog for the BBC on life in the Swat district of Pakistan, then under the control of the Taliban. A tireless advocate for girls while still a girl herself, she started receiving death threats, some slipped under her door, after her identity was publicly revealed. In 2012 she was shot in the face in an assassination attempt.
And Chubbs — who lives in Canada, and who is unwilling to even post a real picture of himself on the internet — thinks she’s a coward for not returning to Pakistan — where she was shot in the face, and where bookstores won’t even stock her book because of threats from the Taliban.
And he also seems to think that she’s “lucky” for being able to move to England.
Malala was lucky that she was co-opted for an agenda and was given a great place to live in the western world, because while she is touring the globe, advocating girls rights to education, those same girls are the ones forced to continue to live in places where they can be hurt and killed for trying to attend school.
And what were the “lucky” circumstances that led to her relocation to England? Oh yeah, she was shot in the face in a country without the medical infrastructure necessary to treat the injuries she received from being shot in the face.
Chubbs also throws in some old-fashioned imperialist arrogance and racism into the mix:
While Malala was laughing, playing and enjoying the safety of receiving an education in a predominantly white country found upon Christian morals, school girls in Africa were being kidnapped. …
So yes, never fear you ladies of the 2nd and 3rd world. You, too, can brave all those bad men and receive an education: so long as there are prosperous countries founded upon and still more or less exercising European Christian morals that still exist for you to run to (and which you can afford to run off to in the first place), and that you’re willing to be a hollow mascot for the powers that be in those countries.
At one point, Chubbs actually belittles her for … reading books:
Instead of reading text books and trying to fill her head with words, Malala would have been better served to take that textbook and hold it in front of her head to try and stop the bullet.
That doesn’t even make a tiny bit of sense.
Davis Aurini, meanwhile, has weighed in with an equally ridiculous, if not quite as outrageously offensive, attack on Malala for her … alleged unoriginality.
In Aurini’s view, Malala is a mere “youngling,” and a copycat of “Civilized” Western ideas. who doesn’t deserve the Nobel Prize or the money that comes with it.
[F]or the most part, love ‘em or hate ‘em, the past recipients have at least made their mark on history. With few exceptions, they’ve all walked a dangerous path and stayed committed to their cause, and they’ve brought forth intellectual and political blossomings that were unprecedented. They’ve all been inventors.
You cannot say the same for Malala Yousafzai.
Thus far in her life, she’s been little more than a poster child for the prevailing superstitions of our times. Arguing that women should be allowed to read books is not revolutionary when you live in Britain, and while it may be brave for a girl in Pakistan to make such statements, they’re still not creative in nature; she’s merely channelling the culture of the Civilized West, repeating words that were written by others.
This from a guy whose main claim to, er, creativity consists of this “film.”
So brave, dudes. So brave.
I wonder what kind of effective self-improvement can a bunch of conspiracy theorists who spend their days pulling theories about women out their asses provide.
1) organize your phone by flakes, show this to people to mess them up
2) go to the gym
3) let her take off your clothes in the bedroom
4) go to the gym
5) real alpha men have no time to be your friend, prepare to be lonely
6) go to the gym
7) beta men eat takeaway more than twice a week
8) go to the gym
9) drink more water, They put bad stuff in the milj
10) go to the gym
11) women have sex with hot guys without always dating them
12) go to the gym
13) point 11 is a mindblowing truestory that will shock you to your core
14) work your core. At the gym.
15) text pictures of yourself to people when you can think of nothing to say
16) go to the gyyyyyym
17) constantly scan your surroundings for any indication of people thinking you’re weak, find ways to manipulate people into giving you information
18) the gym, have you gone?
19) strike up conversation with real alpha men by finding a common enemy and complaining about them
20) real alpha men GO TO THE GYYYYYM
21) you can test if someond is alpha by cleverly asking about their workout routines( because then you know if they GO TO THE G-G-G-G-GYYYM)
22) women have sex on their birthdays, new years and halloween. Use this fact.
23) you can only use this fact if you go to the recreational exercise area
24) that’s the gyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyym.
If the linked blog is any identication, anyhow, vayit.
I like how Intentionally ignoring texts/calls is “flake” behavior, and not “she’s figured out that you’re no good and is intelligently brushing you off with a fast fade” behavior.
dammit! gd blockquote monster…
well yea, because women exist to acknowledge men donchaknow! if they aren’t then they aren’t doing their job.
To be fair, everyone should have, and display, a healthy level of self respect and self esteem, and no one should tolerate poor behaviour from a potential partner.
It’s just that so much of the Red Pill world is based on mental masturbation and misogyny that it’s hard not to read the seeing yourself as a prize part of that statement without going snort. ::snorts::
Ninja’d by SittieKitty!
Hey, let’s be fair now! He doesn’t see women as prizes to be conquered, he views himself as a prize to be adored by women. That’s totally different, it’s a completely different thing, swear to god, it’s not at all like viewing women as prizes in a game. Nuh-uh, nope, not at all, no.
Here’s an interesting little exercise I just ran, based on a thought process evoked by myredpillmemoirs’ assertion that a lady who stops answering calls and texts is a flake, rather than someone who finds a dude too creepy to handle.
Beware: the following is very cold-blooded.
In 1996, some economists in the US tried to calculate the dollar cost of crime. You can read their findings here:
https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles/victcost.pdf
If you scroll down to Table 2, you’ll see where they have estimated the cost of one rape. They included the tangible costs (like the price of an emergency room visit) and the quality of life cost to the victim. It does not include the cost of prosecution or imprisonment, and gives a figure for the cost of police involvement that seems laughably lowball, but becomes more reasonable when you factor in the low reporting rate of rape (which reduces average costs, because most rapes don’t involve law enforcement at all) and the reluctance of law enforcement to actually give a shit (which again lowers the average cost by spreading the cost of a single motivated detective over multiple rapes where total police involvement was taking a report or less). It also does not include the social costs, such as other people reacting to the report of a rape by changing their own behavior or taking security measures. The final tally is $87,000 in 1996 dollars. Adjusted for inflation, this equals $132,000 in 2014 dollars.
Somewhere between 5% and 13% of men are rapists. I went with a low estimate of 8%.
This means that, for any given man, stranger or otherwise, a woman who is indiscriminate about accepting social contact from men runs a 0.08 probability of winding up with a rapist. In economics, the expected cost of an incident (in this case, contact with a man) is calculated by multiplying the full cost of one adverse event (in this case, one rape) by the probability of that adverse event occurring at random during any incident. This results in $10,500, meaning that a woman can expect to pay $10,500 in rape “cost” by indiscriminately accepting social contact from any given man.
Dudes whine about how women are so unfaaaaaair by not giving them a chaaaaaaance because their hurt feelings are so, so, so important. I bet their hurt feelings are not $10,500 worth of important. If you asked a guy how much he would be willing to pay to make his bruised feelings go away, I don’t think you would get a figure as high as $10,500, ever.
Therefore, the socially efficient outcome (the outcome that incurs the least cost overall) is for the lady to steer totally clear of the guy, hurt his widdle feewings because she didn’t give him a chaaaaaance, make him pay the probably $50 that his hurt feelings are worth and avoid paying the $10,500 in rape costs.
In other words, not answering myredpillmemoirs’ texts is actually the most rational response.
I also want to caveat that the above figures on rape were, without exception, examining only women as victims and only men as perpetrators. This is a very strong limitation on generalizations for rapists of other genders and victims of other genders.
The liberation of women is synonymous with social and economic progress. Period. There is not one, single, solitary country that has NOT seen vast economic and social progress with the liberation of women. Likewise, there is not one, single, solitary country that has NOT seen vast economic and social ruin with the oppression of women. This is a fact….a pretty goddamn easy one to prove….and MRAs fancy themselves super logical and always factual. Why don’t any of them see this painstakingly obvious trend?
The only “example” the might be able to come up with is America’s recent recession…and somehow thinking it’s all because rich, spoiled, ungrateful, evil cunts have somehow forced the dickhead men….yes, MEN….of Wall St. and Washington piss on the freedoms and faces of the rest of us.
(derpaderp #notallmen derpaderpderpderrrrrrrrrpppppppppppppppp)
….and that’s a recession in one of the wealthiest countries on the planet….which is to say, jack shit in the grand scheme. What Americans call “a recession” second and third world countries call “Tuesday.” Do they have any idea how many countries DREAM of a mere 6% unemployment rate? Of course they don’t. That would take them feng shui-ing their own heads out of their asses for a moment.
Of course, I expect no less from uneducated, self entitled, white, male, American troglodytes who think if they use words they just looked up in a thesaurus just now so ME SOUND SMART, who’ve rarely stepped out of their own toilets, let alone visited another country, especially not a second or third world country….which is odd since they’re so convinced all the top shelf women are from those countries.
That’s EXACTLY why they fear and thus hate women like Malala. They’re afraid that the number of counties they can get a mail order bride from will drop to zero if women are allowed the evil extravagance of BOOKS. Women’s heads are better filled with recipes and cleaning methods and the mysterious art of the blow job rather than higher level ideas that can actually improve the quality of life for the entire planet…that should be left to dah menz. Pathetic, fearful, ridiculous little pricks whose uppance WILL one day come. Women are winning. There’s no way around it. That might be why they’re especially heinous lately. A beast fights hardest for it’s life when it’s the closest to its death.
Also, to those saying that if one of these schmucks took a bullet to the face it would destroy them…..sadly, no, they’d find a way to blame feminists for it.
Yea, but ktrantingredhead, the only reason women are even allowed to do those things is because the men have so graciously allowed it and stopped making them property. Really, if you think about it, women’s progress was done by men.
/s
Pardon me if I’m mistaken, but wasn’t Malala flown to the UK because that was the only place where should could get proper treatment? And I also remember reading she was heavily sedated when she was flown in, so getting stuck in Europe was hardly her choice.
And I do not blame her or her family for deciding to stay in the UK. I blame the Pakistani gov’t for letting these gun-toting thugs attack innocent girls like her with impunity.
And then there’s this bit…
//Instead of reading text books and trying to fill her head with words, Malala would have been better served to take that textbook and hold it in front of her head to try and stop the bullet.//
Malala was shot with an AK-47. An assault rifle. At that range, the bullet would have gone through a typical paper-bound textbook as if it were tissue. You’d need at least level 4 body armor to stop it. We’re talking several dozen layers of kevlar, plus a steel or ceramic ballistic plate. And it’d still break bones.
It never ceases to amuse me when these MRA dolts reveal just how little they know abouot “manly” stuff like firearms and body armor. Bloody posers.
How convenient. Thinking about how you’ve embraced an ideology that promotes misogyny and manipulation tactics that get downright rapey would be inconvenient and hard. We can’t have that! Best to look the other way when your compatriots advocate isolating drunk vulnerable young women from her friends, right?
Joining a misogynist group is self improvement how? You can get fit, wear more stylish clothes and practice sounding more self assured without viewing women as the sexual class and without making buddies with rapists.
Hahaha! If you’re such a prize we should be working for, why do you have a phone full of numbers of women who don’t return your calls and texts. They aren’t flakes. They aren’t in to you. Probably because they realized you’re a creep.
To be honest, I just don’t read the articles that have negative tones, such as the article written by Chubb’s. Christians read the bible, but you can’t tell me that all Christians believe Noah’s Ark to be a true event.
I withdraw the information that I need from a group of men that have real world experience.
It doesn’t bother me that the women commenting have chosen to insult and bash me (I’m actually disappointed because my first impression of WHTM readers is not what I expected)
I’ve lost 35lbs, beat alcoholism, become a better role model to my daughter, and I have healthier relationships with men and women. I have done all of this in less than 10 months – if you can suggest a book/video/course that is free and will provide real results, I will gladly look into it. Quite frankly, I do not believe anything exists that can.
Is the Manosphere perfect? Heck no, but neither were feminist organizations at any point since their creation.
I admit to curiosity: what the fuck makes you think this neg is going to fly here?
So… no response to the charge about the misogyny rampant in the red pill community and actually kinda in your own writing? (I confess, I hadn’t read your stuff before I answered you the first time.)
Honestly this isn’t that hard to do.
Also, in all seriousness, this guy’s writing is essentially Self-Improvement For Men without a lot of the bullshit misogyny that Red Pill has. You should read it. I’m not even 100% sure he’s not objectionable in some way, which ya know, most self-help gurus are, but still…
You should. You may think twice about adopting a red pill moniker. I’m not clear as to why you’d want to self-identify with a group/ideology you aren’t totally familiar with. Don’t you want to check out the whole package, especially if the movement (or whatever you want to call it) is so important to you?
It’s wonderful you’ve improved your life so much. Honestly, it is. Thing is, there are many ways to do that that don’t involve the sheer amount of vitriol directed at 50% of humanity contained in RP ideology (and let’s be honest, there’s plenty more bile directed toward other men who don’t live up to the standards set by the RP et al.) Hell, ask around here and you’ll get as many different methods and sources for self-improvement as there are commenters.
One, I second Policy of Madness: Is that supposed to make me feel odd for being a bit snarky at you? Come on man, don’t neg me. I ain’t gonna bite.
Secondly – People here have been nice to you, man. Look:
I wished you the best (I meant it), SittieKitty there pointed out how it’s actually a great thing to love yourself and be more accepting of yourself, grumpyoldnurse said that everyone should display a healthy level of self respect.
Weirwoodtreehugger did nothing worse than point out that most of the stuff that is identified as “red pill” on the internet is abhorrent. Leah pointed out the same. Blahlistic said the same.
I mean, it’s cool you think that was insulting and bashing you. It wasn’t and it isn’t, but it’s all right that you think so, and you’re allowed to!
I think actually the worst one was me, and I was just poking fun at the fact that your blog mentions “gym” 6 times on the first page and paired “alpha” with “gym culture” at all times.. It’s great to have fitness goals and to be striving to achieve them. Best of luck with it. I just deadlifted 120 kilos, and I’m quite proud (5 more and I can do 2x my body weight! Wooooooh! Next up, one armed hand stand push ups. Rawr!)
The fact that you’ve lost 35 lbs, beat alcoholism, become a better role model to your daughter and have healthier relationships with men and women is a good thing. That’s great. That is honestly entirely completely great! Keep at it!
Now the question is this: can you do all that without also blogging about your elaborate revenge fantasies of sleeping with the enemies of your ex girlfriend? Can you do all that without thinking that all women slut it up on vacations because that’s somehow sex they can have with no commitments, and this is bad? Can you do all that without literally stating that:
is somehow the traits of a undisclosed beta loser? Dude, organizing fantasy football leagues is hard work and being the person who schedules the poker nights is fucking important if you want to have poker nights at all.
Can you do it without somehow ending up in a position where you get angry at people for flaking on you, and respond to that anger by either childishly renaming them on your phone and showing them this new crude nickname, being a snipey rager who “calls them out” or writing upset blog posts about it? Can you do all that without, without, without, without, falling into the trap of somehow thinking that a few good ideas (“take care of your own body”) somehow excuses the endless seas of evil that is the rest of red pill ideology (“fuck those bitches, Malala Yousafzai was a bad person for not sticking around to get shot more”?)
Anyway? Books that can help you in 10 months or less. I assume you’re trying to accomplish your fitness goals and otherwise become a happier person?
Here’s what works for me:
The Four Hour Body – Timothy Ferriss
It’s chapters after chapters on optimizing everything from food to sleep to your exercise regiment.
The Four Hour Chef – Timothy Ferriss
Same deal, with food (and everything else)
The Art Of Learning – Josh Waltzkin
It could also be called “How to learn literally any damn thing at all with minimum effort and maximum fun”.
You Are Your Own Gym, Mark Lauren and Convict Conditioning, Paul Wade
Body weight exercise books that offer well illustrated, well written guides on exercise regimens that contain no gym time, no weights and nothing but your own body in easily manageable progressions. This is useful because it allows you to cut down on gym time (so you can read, or learn spanish, or whatever), and also because adding the few exercises to your routines in the gym will maximize your benefits. (Plus, if you’re so damn keen on showing of your body, being the guy who can one handed pull ups is impressive)
Do note that one is a former spec ops instructor and the other has a prison theme, so be prepared to mentally sort out all the “RAWR RAWR”.
Yes Means Yes
It’s a blog. A blog about sex and people and rape and sexuality.
Why Does He Do That: The Minds of Abusive Men
Read it, and if you find yourself thinking: “Hey, that’s me”, fucking stop with that behavior pattern.
Show Me How: Life Explained One Step At A Time Derek Fagerstorm, Lauren Smith
A book with handy little pictrograms for doing anything from cooking, to meditating, to wrestling an alligator, to riding an elephant. You have a daughter? Pick a random thing, do it together! Learn something new! Also amazing for gatherings and people in general and just fun.
Susan Faludi: Betrayal of the modern man
It’s a long look at American masculinity, and I’m fucking certain it’ll contain a few things of interest to you, your relationships with other people, and why maybe accepting all the idiots who blame everything bad that ever happened on feminism and women is not the right way to go through life.
Literally Anything Else Than Return Of Kings
You can read the washing instructions on your sweater and it’ll give you a more interesting, nuanced look at the complexities of life.
—–
But even with that, I doubt you’ll take it, because your desire to identity yourself as a red pill guy despite the obvious misogyny and hair-raising cruelty of that movement indicates that you don’t really, honestly, at all, care for women or people or anything but yourself and how you can maximize the gratification of your own life at the cost of others. You’ll happily claim “The movement ain’t perfect”, when “the movement” contains people that advocate for the cessation of education of all women, the destruction of the modern state, a return to a monarchy, driving fat people to suicide and that all women who sleep with anyone but the guy they’re married to (and even then) are slutty sluts.
And that’s just from Return of Kings, not the rest of the sordid basement fest that is red pill movements.
Oh, also, How To Win Friends And Influence People: Dale Carnegie (paying special attention to the chapters where he mentions that his advice is not a “strategy for manipulation” but ” an actual new way of dealing with life and people, that merely not criticising is good but not intending to criticize is better”).
Or fucking google it.
Hell, click in SittieKitty’s link.
but you won’t. Because we “insult and bash you” when we point out that hating 50% of the human race is misogyny and that it isn’t a necessary component of becoming a better person either.
Also…
If this is true, and I’m going to assume it is, please realize that YOU did this. The RP didn’t do it. You did it.
That’s from your blog. COME ON. First of all, this ridiculous external locus of control crap, ie: after a few doses of the Red Pill. Like it’s a thing that exists that affects change, you just gotta take it, man.
Second, have some bloody compassion for people. Cutting the ‘weak’ men from your life: you go on to describe some ‘weak’ behaviours that yep, do sound like behaviours I wouldn’t want in a friend. Others, however, ie: ‘He’s the guy that flew through college or university but doesn’t know girls’ – what? How does having such a narrow view of what a ‘strong’ man is help you, or anyone? Like, ever? It’s one thing to not want to hang out with people who do not-so-nice things; it’s another to avoid people because their ‘weak’ vibes might somehow rub off on you (a la The Secret-type crap), which is what I took from your piece there on RP Loneliness.
@Fibinachi
JFC, you have more kindness in your left pinky finger for this idiot than he deserves.
Also, sidenote.
It’s fun how one can compare “the manopshere” to “feminism” as if the two were anything alike, and then get to make some point about how the lack of perfection of one excuses the other claiming all women are evil incarnate.
Smooth, that.
