Noted pussyconomist Roosh Valizadeh offers these sobering thoughts on the rising costs — and decreasing quality — of vagina:
The quality of women—both their appearance and their attitude—is sliding to the bottom while the work we have to expend to meet these more inferior females is increasing. This phenomenon of pussy inflation is starting to force men out of the market, for what “average” man can find the time, ability, and motivation to seduce a merely cute woman who may only want to fuck him a couple times before becoming distracted by the next shiny object that gets placed in her path? If this inflations proceeds, the only men who will get laid consistently are ones who approach it like a job, blocking out a minimum of two hours a day to the task.
If anything Roosh is underestimating the dangers here. During Germany’s hyperpussyflation in the early 1920s, men had to devote as many as 3700 hours a day in order to score with merely cute women. Indeed, it is rumored that some of these men were forced to wipe their own asses in order to make themselves more appealing to women.
The reality we face right now is this: the quality of men around the world is increasing to compete with a decreasing quality of women. This is great if you’re a woman, because without lifting a finger you can get better than a couple years before. If you’re a man and didn’t step up your game recently, however, you will get lower results. If you don’t stay on top of the latest game scientific data or dating app, you will be out-competed. Or you’ll just get nothing. Inflation often helps those who have debt, but if you have no debt, if you lived life prudently and with virtue, inflation destroys your purchasing power. As much as men improve themselves, women are appreciating in relative value as they make all the wrong decisions with their lives. This is the world we live in.
To be honest, Roosh, I don’t think you and I live in the same world.
Blackadder quote for any occasion:
Bro, if a BORN human being was invading my body without my consent, causing me to become uncontrollably nauseated, mutilating my body, and threatening to cause me mind-bending amounts of pain, blood loss, and possible death, I would react violently to them as well. So I don’t really give a flying fuck if the fetus is considered ‘human’ or not, because I would consider abortion to be self defense.
Now piss off, troll.
Y’know, I don’t necessarily have a problem with thoughtful pro-lifers. I’m friends with a few of them. When the topic comes up, I don’t kiss their asses trying to make them feel better about the fact that I fundamentally think they are totally wrong, though, and make no bones of the fact that I think their position would be a total fucking human rights disaster if legally implemented any more than it already is. The situation is already bad enough that women are resorting to offlabel/black-market ulcer meds, in lieu of getting supervised abortion care.
(At least, in the good old US of A. I make no pretense to understanding the situation elsewhere)
You, otoh, wanted to be mollycoddled. Not going to happen.
Further, convincing me that you are a *thoughtful* pro-lifer means displaying actual understanding of the facts, and of the reasons why women have abortions (hint: labeling the value a woman puts on her work, relationships, existing children, and education as “convenience” is not a way to convince me you know your ass from a hole in the ground on this topic) and a willingness to dig for information on your own, without handholding and constant ego-stroking.
Ninth-grade-level “thought experiments” aren’t impressive on any front.
Still, for a guy who isn’t here to talk about abortion, you sure came on strong talking about abortion. How about you just show yourself the door for awhile?
@WatermelonSugar: I’d invite you to read this, which I wrote as an answer to your complaint. But I wrote it in the past because I’m a time traveler! It’s quoted here:
“If you were ticked because I didn’t use your choice words, you can understand how I feel.”
@Right Wingnut:
Dude, you’re the one begrudging our use of labels. I completely understand why you use the words you use, and I don’t blame you for that at all. I think you’re wrong as hell, but I’m not going to pretend I don’t get why you use the words you use.
No, no it is not. Just being labels that the labeled party doesn’t like doesn’t make them the same. “Forced-birther” is not a slur that’s historically been used to oppress a disenfranchised group, it’s a literally accurate account for what pro-life folks (and you, if I’m not mistaken) think should happen when a woman gets pregnant but doesn’t want to be pregnant.
” I would consider abortion to be self defense.”
— Interesting.
Disingenuous fuckwad is disingenuous. And a fuckwad.
Words matter if for no other reason than they accurately communicate facts about reality. Words mean things.
A zygote/blastocyst is not yet a fetus and a fetus is not yet a baby. You are the only one obsessed with the idea that someone is saying that fetuses are not human. No one has said that.
And no, a zygote or a blastocyst or even a fetus is not an actual person, and it certainly does not have rights that overwhelm the real actual person currently giving it womb space. If she decides not to, that’s her choice. You don’t have to like it, neither do I. It is neither of our business.
@WatermelonSugar:
Told ya, that’s what’s gonna piss me off most about thsi dude.
LOL like kirbywarp said, in case you hadn’t noticed, child, I am a moderator here. Kind of idiotic, you trying the condescending shit about language with me of all people.
You know you’re demonstrating more and more that you’re a troll, don’t you? If you were sincere, and had read this blog as much as you claim, you’d know we swear. As it is, your disingenuousness and likely sockpuppetting are just getting clearer and clearer. You’re more like a sockpuppet trying to play the same old game, than the genuinely fuckwitted gobshite you’re trying to present as. The repeated “I’m getting attention!” comments make it even more obvious.
So, hmmm, who do we think this one is, Mammotheers? It doesn’t have the Pell tells of being doctorprofessorlordhighwhatsit and it hasn’t melted down yet. I do hope it’s not the return of Mr Al, that would be realllly boring. Which other dreary little turds have we had trying to make comebacks lately, apart from Annoy?
“A literally accurate account for what pro-life folks (and you, if I’m not mistaken) think should happen when a woman gets pregnant but doesn’t want to be pregnant.”
So then a pro-choice person would be potentially pro-death if in fact embryos and fetuses are human?
lemme see if I understand this correctly.
zygote (no rights) -> fetus (more rights) -> baby (can no longer be killed by mother) -> child -> adult.
And since adults turning 21 are able to drink and smoke and vote and serve in the military, they are more deserving of life than any of the previous categories.
In related news and considerations, what’s with all the necromancy lately? Is it just me or does a troll come by to poop in an only thread almost every day recently?
@Kittehserf
I have been down in the comments much recently, so I’m not familiar with some of these. Were these epic trolls from during the last two months? Honestly, this was has turned boring quickly, I thought there was some hope upthread. Now it’s just gibberish.
Gosh, this has been such an effective way to be less asinine and pick fewer fights.
katz, ow! What ones have you tried so far?
@Right Wingnut
Everything you’ve thrown out are red herrings. It’s irrelevant whether a fetus is the same as a person, because a fully grown adult does not have the right to use another person’s body against their will for any reason, even to stay alive. If a fetus is a person? It doesn’t have that right, just like anyone.
If I were dying and you somehow were the only person available to give me a kidney and save my life, by your own logic, the government could take you to the hospital, remove your kidney and give it to me without your consent. You are arguing that the government should have to power to use your body against your will so long as there is a life at stake.
Abortion is about government power. Nothing else.
Katz, check your soap and skin care products for coconut oil. I’ve read that a lot of people who have psoriasis and eczema find their skin very aggravated by soap made from coconut oil (sodium cocoate) and palm oil (sodium palmate). Look for olive oil based soaps? They’re harder to find but I’ve been told by many people that they work much better for people with sensitive skin and itchy skin conditions.
Slow your roll there. No need to drag time travel in to this. Mostly because that wasn’t even an answer to my, er, “complaint,” because my complaint is that you’re telling people off for using certain verbiage that you feel is derogitory or insulting while doing the same yourself upthread.
Also because it’s an insult to upstanding, proper time travelers across the universe. The Doctor would not approve.
Cassie’s Major Domo – no, they were trolls who were busiest on the site, oh, three years ago maybe. They were here before I was. Pell and Mr Al have made multiple sockpuppetting visits since being banned. Pell usually gives himself away pretty quickly; Mr Al was here for a year as Steele, a very over-the-top character (his lousy English was because of his misandrist primary school teacher!) and has made a few brief visits since. Annoy (Abnoy’s his nym) is a truly creepy specimen, lives in the Philippines and likes to boast about having sex with children. He made a brief return a few weeks back.
gillyrosebee – yeah, there’s been lots of necroing lately.
Well the language people use makes it quite transparent how they think: for example, PUAs and the like don’t talk of women but of ‘girls’ which is infantilizing and creepy (interestingly, in this post Doosh talks more about women. Maybe he’s been forced to face the reality of women having agency and not existing for his pleasure only).
Forced-birthers tend to call a pregnant woman ‘mother’ giving automatic personhood to the fetus, subordinating her to the fetus she carries by naming her only through her relationship to it, and reinforcing the traditional family role for women.
And even if it sounds like an empty label-battle, you can notice that the words used by the pro-choice side are more accurate and well accepted than the anti-abortion side, for example:
– Even if you think a fetus is a baby or whatever, you still acknowledge it is a fetus. Naturally most people would not call “unborn child” or anything like that an embryo.
– Anti-abortion people are effectively against abortion, while not everyone would agree that not having abortions somehow against life (and in many cases, having an abortion is the pro life thing to do)
It is THEM tweaking the language.
@thebewilderness – you’ll need to drop David a line to get this twerp moderated. We can delete his comments, but only administrators can moderate or ban commenters. (Thank you, WordPress, you fucking idiots.)
Kittehs,
He’s definitely an American as he made a reference to the drinking age being 21. I’ve been calling sock for hours now but I don’t know who it is.
@Katz
I just have run-of-the-mill sensitive skin, but I like Simple for face stuff and the Yes to Carrots for other washes and things. I’m a poor kid, so I don’t know about anything fancy, but those two work well for me.
I’m pretty sure Iceland has already signalled its unwillingness to engage with these clown-asses by their collective, derisive snort at Julien Blanc. I could be wrong, though…
WWTH – yeah, I knew he’s American too, and I reckon your call was right. Can’t put my finger on whose sock it is, yet.
That, or the trolls these days are So Bloody Generic they all sound the same. ::bangs walking stick on floor::
Well, apart from the ones who live DIRECTLY ON THE BEACH, with or without attack chickens.
At least one Icelander thinks they, that is Icelandic men, should welcome him, and then gently stroke his thigh as they are talking to him.
