The idea that women regularly use their sexual wiles to gain control over men has long been central to the Men’s Rights Movement.
In the seminal MRA tome The Myth of Male Power, Warren Farrell famously declared that secretaries have “miniskirt power, cleavage power and flirtation power” over their male bosses; the latest edition of his book features a shapely female posterior on the cover, sans clothing, to illustrate what he sees as the immense power women can exert over men with, well, their butts.
In the Men Going Their Own Way subreddit, one Reddit MGTOW takes Farrell’s argument one sickening step further, seeming to suggest that women use this sexy power of theirs to “intice” [sic] men to, well, rape them.
As High-Fruit-Trinity sees it, women have
used men’s nature against them.
They called men pigs & date-rapists. But they were the CAUSE
Of male piggishness and … rape?
They have entire industries just for women to be more beautiful, inticing and sexy. They’re taught everything about manipulating men. Men aren’t taught anything.
Women got away with this because they are the perceived victims, and you shouldn’t blame the victim. So who do you blame?
I dunno, dude, when a man acts like a pig to women, I blame him. When a man rapes a woman, I blame him. Who do you blame, Mr. High-Fruit-Trinity? Do you actually see rape survivors as the real “CAUSE” of rape, and the rapists themselves as the victims?
Apparently so. In a followup comment in the thread, High-Fruit-Trinity approvingly quotes a comment from a Washington Post reader about a famous political sex scandal.
“let’s acknowledge that women also play a role in soliciting sexual attention. Think about John Edwards and Rielle Hunter and how all the blame is focused on Edwards. She could easily cry “sexual harrassment!” as a causative factor; why isn’t a charge of “sexual enticement” just as accurately applied to the situation? “
It’s a bizarre question to ask about Edwards and Hunter, given that no one was accusing Edwards of sexually harassing her; the two had a consensual affair. But MRAs and MGTOWs seem to have some trouble understanding the difference between sexual harassment and mutual sexual attraction, as well as between consensual sex and rape.
In any case, the logic here is pretty clear: in High-Fruit-Trinity’s mind, whenever a man harasses or rapes or does anything sexual to a woman that she doesn’t consent to, it’s her fault, not his, because she must have “enticed” him into doing it.
Basically, this is blame-the-victim on steroids. And yet another reason so many people wish that the so-called Men Going Their Own Way would indeed go wherever it is they are allegedly going, the further away from the rest of us the better.
Nothing to see here, folks. Go back to your regularly scheduled arm-pit hair dying.
So you’re an ignorant prude?
@John Galt: Do you need to put in effort to grow your armpit hair? Because mine just… Grows.
Also if your vomit is bright pink and purple, I’d reconsider what you’ve been eating. It’s not supposed to be that colour.
@john Galt
Hoo boy!!! Wow. So edgy. I just can’t stop laughing from a decades old fucking joke. Omg, how do you do it? Pink hair? Muh vaginas? Pure poetry. Such beautiful prose.
But seriously, you’re just “peeking in”?
Sounds like somebody is lonely and needs to get some attention, no matter what type
And here I am, giving you the attention that you desperately seek! Lol
I see one of the ones filled with emotional impressions of objects they do not specify is here. Doing the whole “casual laid back” rhetoric on the dominance display.
Minus the substance all I see is the fear and desire to taunt. This one operates somewhere between age seven and twelve with respect to complexity of behavior. All social posturing they can’t tie to specifics.
Galt peeking in:
I guess if you’re a 329 year old engineer you feel compelled to comment on 329 year old threads. Sad!
We all know he doesn’t have sex because he’s Gone His Own Way, so that leaves “ignorant.”
Finally. Some self awareness.
I just came across this shitshow. Did a Mangina write this article or an angry lesbian?
-Love the comment about the pink hair and armpit hair. Why is it that Angry Libs are typically fat with pink hair and pasty white skin? Sorry… I digress. The women’s marches didn’t have one single hottie. Hmmmm
So, is the author in denial that for centuries women have used their looks and the promise of sex to get what they want from a man? The only difference that modernity has brought is that they want to sit on their asses, have all the conveniences THEN when they get bored with hubby they can kick him out and he still pays for her abode, kids and her LandRover SUV. All while she rides the cockcarousel.
Women don’t want “Equality”, but instead to do less, have all the choices and then kick hubby out only to have him continue to foot the bill. And the crazy thing is Men (judges and lawyers) make this a reality. WTF has happened?
Thank you, “PutTheTipIn”, for using several hundred words where four would do.
This thread just attracts all the trolls, doesn’t it?
Put the tip in? Interesting and not at all creepy name.
I thought my pasty white skin was the only way I was womaning correctly! Doesn’t the manosphere have white nationalist leanings? Whatever happened to that?
But in the current MGTOW thread we learned that being a slut doesn’t get women anything. Which is it?
Poor John Galt. He was getting ignored so he had to come up with a new nym. I’m sure your mom loves you, John!
@PutTheTipIn
It must be my visually impaired eyesight but muh poor dumb librain sees only tan brown skin on myself.
Man I hope you never had kids because if this is the example you’re putting forth you must be out of this world.
Make up your mind, are the women masterminds or nothing? Come on John Galt did you get such cold feet you needed to have a redo THIS soon?
Tippy:
Here’s one for you: every time you start out with some bullshit like “just came across this shitshow. Did a Mangina write this article or an angry lesbian”, or some fucking dumb lead in like that, you basically announce your stupid seagull ass as the fucking ignorant troll you are.
Also, your Miggy screeching is annoying.
Plus, because this one bears repeating,
Yes, poor Galty, reduced to creating another sockpuppet in order to pay himself compliments. Sad!
@ cornychips, nice to see you again, anyway.
Wonder if we can make him flip out by posting gifs again.
LindsayIrene, that was glorious!

They’re always full of misandry.
For something a little more current, I sense I’ll be deploying this one at trolls a lot in the future
Who’s the outrage whore again?
One more thing: You and all your MGTOW acquaintances are sick with jealousy that, due to your lack of hotness, no one would ever consider paying you for sex.
@Kat
Jealous is about the only thing I can attribute to them. Well, that and a lot of other things. They project onto us what they most desperately want to do. As men have projected onto women at least as long as my living history.
@John Galt
Thanks God you’re back. Any idea where my testicles have gone, yet? I’ve been looking for them everywhere after you pointed out I had none…
Oh, wait – there they are. In your last post. Because it was complete bollocks.
@ put the…nope, not writing the rest
I’m not one to be sceptical; but somehow I doubt that.
Hey, you leave Land (space) Rovers out of this.
I’m sorry, I can’t process the rest of your wish journal entry until I have a good explanation for why Mangina is capped but lesbian is not.
Sorry Snowflakes (should that be capitalized?),I’m not Galt. Although I am a fan of Ayn Rand.
I came across this link b/c you guys were being made fun of and there was a brief lull in my day, and I figured why not stop in and rattle their cages.
Seriously, I am befuddled by the thought processes of those on the lib and feminist side of the fence.
One cannot have a debate without a shitstorm of name calling and bashing from the left.
When do you see repubs burning down their neighborhood stores, assaulting innocents and looting in the name of demonstration? Doesn’t happen. Why so nasty when things don’t go your way?
