Over in the MGTOW subredddit, one fellow offers up what he thinks is an ingenious strategy for dealing with demanding women.
“Do what I do,” writes deathtocontrollers.
When I’m around women, I pretend to be retarded. Once you reveal anything positive about yourself(a high level of intelligence or skills), they start nagging you to do shit for them, even if they know you aren’t a simp and they aren’t close to you. Because they know, some non simps will give in, just to avoid going insane from the nonstop nagging.
Brilliant, dude. As clever as the standard male practice of pretending not to know how to wash dishes when the time comes to wash the dishes.
Anyway, I lied when I said I’d have other tips for gracious living. I just have this one. But deathtocontrollers does have a little story to share about nagging. An allegedly TRUE STORY that couldn’t sound more fake.
A woman I knew many years ago would avoid paying taxi drivers by just nagging them nonstop with her shrill voice to lower the cost of the ride. Eventually the taxi drivers would just say she doesn’t have to pay anything to make her leave as soon as possible. Sometimes, she’d do this with a female friend and then the taxi drivers would be nagged by two different women at the same time for a discount… That kind of behavior from women should be banned by Geneva Conventions…
This story doesn’t even make a lick of sense. The only way to get this women to “leave as soon as possible” would be to drop her off before she got to her destination. But how would that be a good thing for the nagging woman? Then she has to get a second cab, or a third, or a fourth, before she even gets close to where she wants to go. Has this guy ever ridden in a taxi?
I mean, come on, dude, at least make a little effort to make your bullshit stories sound a tiny bit real. This one makes even less sense than Kramer’s pants story on Seinfeld.

Don’t you see how fiendishly brilliant this scheme is? You lie about your intended destination, then carefully calibrate your nagging so that the cabbie lets you out where you really wanted to go. Genius!
This definitely happened. Don’t worry, I’m sure once you reveal that you’re a MGTOW they’ll stay away.
There are a few things this could mean, none very good.
Probably not, they don’t seem to know much about our world.
Say, I wonder if the teen MGTOW in the other thread will chime in.
O/T: TERFs seem to have gone fully down the incel/blackpill path and at least one well known one is now threatening to kill themself to be a martyr against trans people.
@Naglfar
So they’re gonna weaponise our suicides and theirs?
@Bakunin
I guess that’s the plan. There is no depth to which they won’t descend.
Of course, to them when a trans person commits suicide it’s because they think being trans is a mental illness, but when a TERF commits suicide it’s because they’re a martyr.
Why are you around women. You go your own way. Right?
@Nagafir did that transphobe freak actually off herself, or…?
@Jane
No, she just talked about it. Really, if someone is that invested in transphobia that they plan to kill themself to be a martyr, they need serious help.
@naglfar : very prosaically, it’s the last possible intermediate step before suicide terror attacks against transgender. (and anyone close enough to their targets I guess).
The whole story is very pathetic (I mean, commiting suicide because you don’t want to expose the misdeed of your ideologic allies ?), but the terrorism risk isn’t.
@Ohlmann
TBH I suspect it’s more the very old abuse tactic of “Engage in self-harm and then blame someone else for it.” It’s a form of “Look what you made me do!” that’s more socially acceptable for women than direct physical violence (though LOTS of abusive men do it too); and also less legally hazardous, and easier for abusers to justify to themselves.
That thing where they accuse trans people of emotional abuse for pointing out that gatekeeping increases suicide rates? Of course that’s projection.
Somehow, I don’t think most people would notice the difference between “deathtocontrollers”‘ normal behavior and his “retarded” one… Also yeah, dude don’t know ’bout taxi drivers. They’re not Travis Bickle, but most take very little shit from anyone rude, either inside their cab or outside of it. SOURCE: Am took taxi many times in past.[sic]
Also, ew. Threatening to kill yourself because you hate someone else Just That Much and hope to hurt them indirectly by such an act? Yeah, you’re just a shite human being. Really hope that if/when she does it (not hoping for it but it’s not like I got any control over her actions) she doesn’t take anyone else with her (I will admit that it’s unlikely she does given other posters’ remarks on such cases, but you never know with people that warped).
Re TERF planning suicide: She might possibly have meant to attempt suicide but not succeed. Very, very risky if she did. But yes, she sounds like her feelings were completely overwhelming her logic. It would make her feel important.
Not sure the average cab driver would bat an eye at nagging, considering they have to put up with traffic, road rage, drunk people throwing up in the backseat, people trying to rob them, etc.
On the other hand, I’ve had a few cab rides where I wanted to get out early because the driver was ranting nonstop about immigrants or being inappropriate and creepy.
I would love to be a fly on the wall during this guy’s job interviews.
Clearly the method that deathtocontrollers is really espousing is to just have no intelligence or skills. (whining on Reddit isn’t a skill, my good man)
Health update
I’m slowly recovering but I’m so tired and cranky all the time because no matter how much I sleep I have no energy.
OT: Evidently Trump supporters are turning on the GOP in Georgia, threatening to boycott the runoff election there. And turning on Fox News for daring to call Arizona for Biden early, thus costing Trump that state and the election.

@Redsilkphoenix
As for boycotting the election, I’ve also heard that some want to write in Donald Trump because they don’t know the difference between senate and presidential elections. I think we should wholeheartedly encourage this.
The first time I heard of that Trump vote-in, it was a troll trying to take Trump voter for more stupid than they are.
He failed, mostly because apparently they are that stupid.
@Ohlmann
Poe’s Law strikes again. I very much hope that many GA Republican voters do so, it’ll split the conservative vote and make the Democrat candidate more likely to win.
On the short term, that’s a good thing.
On the long term… Maybe it’s still a good thing. I am less sure of that, because it’s the radicalization of the tea party/Trump party. That would pretty much be an unstable barrel of nitroglycerine, but maybe defusing that barrel is easier than dealing with the apparently polite, but still more or less opently assholish, republican that they replace.
@Ohlmann
I am not an expert on the specifics of the situation in GA, but I think it’s better to stop what we can now rather than waiting for the future. Fascism doesn’t go away when you ignore it, and now that the GOP is all in on fascism it’s important to stop them however we can.
Will it take a collaborative effort of everyone on every platform to tell mgtows to go their own way and far away from any woman? They always say they are but every day you read that they’re still around women, still working with women, still have women living in their heads rent free for years.
Almost like they hate being mgtows because they didn’t choose go their own way, they were forced to for being so unpleasant, bigoted, and awful to be around. Hm
Other topic: it’s not surprising that trump’s cult is finally turning on the GOP. Let them fight each other. It was bound to happen since hate and fear is all they preach. Anything that’s not trump or praising him shouldn’t exist according to the cult. The proud boys already turned on their token minority members because they were tired of lying about being inclusive for mainstream media. They’re full white supremacists now. Minority conservative voices would be next like Candance O and Ben Shapiro. They don’t want black people or jews no matter if they say the right things. They want a full white ethnostate. Tbh, I have no idea what happens next or if this can repaired.
Removing them is what I call “defusing”. It’s vastly harder than just preventing them from taking power. Because while they are structurally a minority (so they rely on things like electoral college and intimidation to try to get power), convincing them that they have been bamboozled and misled isn’t the easiest of things.
Dunno if the radicalization of the Republicans is the unavoidable consequence of their slide into irrelevance, but that’s a real problem.
OT, but I just learned this interesting Paleolithic fact.
Studies of Aurignacian sites from Ice Age Europe (roughly 35KYA) have shown that, although mammoths were plentiful, the primary prey animals of human hunters were reindeer (Western Europe) and horses (Eastern Europe). Very few mammoths or woolly rhinoceroses were actually hunted.
The moar you know!
@Robert
That makes sense. Mammoth are larger and likely harder to kill, so it would be logical to hunt smaller animals.
