NOTE: This page was giving people security warnings related to a scammy site apparently trying to trick people into thinking that it’s Upworthy. I thought the problem came from the ads, but in fact it came from a graphics link in the comments. I’ve removed the URL and removed the name of the site from people’s comments in case that sets off the security alerts as well. THE SECURITY ALERTS SHOULD NOW BE GONE.
On Roosh V’s internet garbage site Return of Kings, contributor Corey Savage offers his thoughts on our allegedly dystopian, feminism-infected Western world, which is apparently so terribly, terribly anti-male that, as he sees it, men are just plain giving up and becoming women.
When feminists, government, and the entire culture is harping for female empowerment at the expense of men, the result should be obvious: the systematic emasculation of men at all ages. Today, men are starting to talk like women, more men are turning homosexual, and more of them are changing sex. For the wimps, when it’s too difficult to be a man, it’s far easier to just abandon ship.
Corey, to borrow a phrase from that woman in the Esurance commercial, that’s not how any of this works.
Oh, god, YES, DEFINITELY. Worst thing these people do is when you receive homophobia because you LOOK gay, even if you are NOT, or don’t know you are yet. It makes SO MANY people turn homophobic or confuse!
My childhood friend has two brothers who were convinced we were lesbians and hooked up with each other (because two lesbians MUST necessarily have a sexual relationship) from when we were 12 ’till very recently. We denied but they pretty much tried to convince us we were mistaken or catch us in the act.
One of them jokingly flirted with me. Because, obviously, if I am a lesbian, flirting with me will cause me to, in a Hulk-like transformation, change clothes, speak in a masculine voice and punch his face, apparently. It’s pretty annoying, creepy, disgusting and even insulting, because she is like a sister to me. Also, this made me very confuse when I was finding out my bisexuality, because if I liked girls it meant they were right about everything.
As we two grew up and started to dress in a even more feminine way and dating men, they stopped a bit, but sometimes still suggest that we are lying to ourselves and her parents. It doesnt help that my boyfriend has a really feminine face. It’s tiring and makes it difficult for her to come out as bi, because their “I was right!” face would be unbearable.
Someday we will get tired of this life-long BS and act a kiss just to blow their minds. Maybe kiss our (male) partners right after to blow it even harder. Hell, maybe we can ask our bfs to kiss too, just to seal the orgy! I’m sure theyd agree to do it, just to be able to feel the smell of their brains burning while discovering the concepts of open relationships and bisexuality. *Sigh*, one more of my “imagine in a Christmas dinner” fantasies that will never come to be :/
@Snowberry
I think Real Men are allowed one emotion: anger (or some form of it) and NOTHING else. Any other emotion must be converted into anger before being expressed. Real Women are encouraged to show emotions by smiling.
@ pitshade
Or a Commie wombat. Marsupials are particularly susceptible to the pernicious indoctrination of the Reds.
So, would it make sense to have a Feminist Blogger’s Life magazine that also has cover art featuring swarming animals but doing it non-aggressively? Like puppies or kittens just climbing on people?
Puppies Licked My Face!!!
Contrary to Savage’s opinion here, being a man in today’s society is so easy I can do it in my sleep. And the rest of the time too.

That’s probably why we used to have to pay higher driving insurance premiums.

Here are some more cover ideas 🙂
Something that came up in my mind just now…
Have anyone noticed how much bigots and transphobic radfems sound alike sometimes? The arguments, especially when it comes to transexuality, are identical, except the reversed gender (and they make more sense cause women are opressed). It gets me thinking :/
Those Man’s Life covers are hilarious. l love how the men all have the same basic grimace on their face and that a lot off them are fighting of these evil animals in the water even if there’s no particular reason for them to be fighting that particular species in the water.
First, musta missed the issue when Namor fought Batman’s little buddies
Second, FUCK… OFF with that Jigglypuff shit. What is with these antifeminist assbrains and using Pokemon to attack people. And this is supposed to be the ‘Gamez is fur seareus’ crowd?]
@calmdown
Yes, Real Men are allowed just that one emotion, anger.
But the other emotion that Real Men really have is depression.
Maintaining that facade makes them sad.
Oh, and the other other emotion Real Men really have is stress. Which is just another way of saying fear. They’re afraid that they’ll be found out and their inadequacies will be revealed to the world.
The manosphere may soon be losing one of its talking points about how much haaaarder it is to be a maaaaaaan than it is to be a feeeeeemale. An amendment requiring women to register for the draft in the US has passed out of committee in the House, despite its own sponsor voting against it.
Subtract Hominem: I saw that! It’s the best example I’ve ever seen of someone living in the conservative talking point bubble.
@Subtract Hominem: Oh, that’s pretty cool.
And it was Hunter who drafted it? Oh delicious, delicious multi-tiered cake of irony!
Does anyone know how much selective service costs to administer?
US military doctrine nowadays totally rejects the idea of ever having to draft anyone (as opposed to recalling ex service or reserve personnel with particular skills) so it seems a bit pointless. My best guess is that they’ll make it gender neutral by getting rid of it altogether, unless there’s another use for it that I don’t know about.
Off topic, so apologies, but Chrome is reporting this url is deceptive though it says the problem has something to do with an “ups worthy” which certainly looks scammy with the s in there. Ad content or something may be tripping this, it was unclear, but it was specific to this article’s URL, not the main site.
Alan: It’s kept around mainly as a tool of last resort–in theory, if we had a third world war that didn’t immediately result in nukes flying, where we needed to bring force into multiple large theaters at once, the draft would be re-activated. At that point, the last thing you want to do is have to figure out who is eligible.

In darker news… TW: Rape, court douchebaggery:

Apparently the decision rests on the notion that it isn’t ‘forcing’ someone to do something if you get them so inebriated that they cannot resist.
Specifically, they interpreted this part of the statute:
to not include someone who is blackout drunk and had to be carried bodily to a car. I see no reason for “any unsoundness of mind of giving legal consent” to not apply to intoxication, but then I’m not a shitstain Oklahoma judge.
@ Freemage
He, I bet they could work our who was eligible quicker than they could find boots for everyone. 🙂
Did any of you get a security notice when trying to go to this page at any point today?
David: Just now, actually. It seemed to be complaining about the ads (at least, I’m guessing that ‘ups worthy is one of the advertisers), not the actual site.
Huh. I just blocked that w/ both my ad networks but I just got the security message too. So I’m not sure if I need to do more or if it takes a while for the block to go into effect.
Oh but if any of you see an actual link to ups worthy let me know, as well as where the ad appeared and what it said. Thanks!
@Alan Selective Service was reinstituted by Jimmy Carter as a means of showing our anger at the Soviets for what they were doing in Afghanistan. It turned out that the Afghans (with some help from us) were better at punishing the Soviets than we were. After that, any effort to end the draft registration would have been attacked by the hawks as somehow a sign of national weakness.
It has been my theory that the modern US military was designed by people who had served as junior officers in Vietnam and were trying to insure that the country would never again embark on that sort of venture without overwhelming popular support. To fight a long indecisive war like Vietnam, a President would have to be sure that s/he had the people behind them enough to make the draft work like it did in WW II. Therfore they designed a military that would have awesome quick strike capability but would need draftees to fight a long-term occupation, counter-insurgency and “nation-building” effort.
They didn’t succeed, because after having fought the First Gulf War under the leadership of the designers like Colin Powell, Bush II/Cheney/Rumsfeld decided to fight the Second Gulf War the same way. And, if they were going to fight that war at all, I think they would have found the draft quite useful. After all, it doesn’t take a great deal of time and effort to teach someone how to fire a rifle and then stand guard along a border, a pipeline, or a weapons dump (or a museum?). We didn’t protect resources and we didn’t maintain order, because we didn’t have enough troops on the ground. A few hundred thousand draftees would have made a lot of difference, and maybe they would have helped enough so that the logistical problems of keeping that many troops in the field might have come to an end in a fairly short period of time.
Of course, the Iraq invasion was sold on the premise that it would be a cakewalk and over quickly, so it would not be much of an expense. One of the biggest delusions around is that you can fiught wars on the cheap.
@Alan
To keep track of who’s a pacifist commie draft-dodger, of course.
David,
I also got a security message about [the offending site], in my case from Avast.
