We need to have an honest conversation about masculinity.
There is a crisis in masculinity, so we've been told. Men are falling behind in school, dropping out of work, and checking out of dating.
But why?
According to the official narrative, it is because men can't compete in a sexual marketplace that isn't rigged in their favor. Historically, men have oppressed women. Without restrictions, women are outcompeting men in education and work. Men are obsolete, and they can't handle it. In response, men have retaliated by forming the incel community, a leading cause of domestic terrorism. Women live in fear of violent men who have organized politically over their entitlement to sex.
In this blog post, I want to give you an awareness of how your attitudes towards sex are harmful and an understanding of the darker implications of women's political activism.
This video is about incels, sex, masculinity, radicalization, activism, violence, terrorism, and politics. If we want to study things, we have to define them. Let's start with the most controversial one.
What exactly is an incel?
The definition used by the Cambridge Dictionary is as follows,
"a member of a group of people on the internet who are unable to find sexual partners despite wanting them, and who express hate towards people whom they blame for this."
This definition doesn't reflect the way the word is used by "experts" and the general public. The largest incel forum, incels.is has 30,000 members at the time of this writing. To put the size of the incel community in perspective, let's look at the population of the Western world.
Europe has a population of 744 million, the U.S. alone has a population of 340 million, and Canada has a population of 40 million. In the Western world, we are talking about a population of 1.1 billion. Let's use that information to compute the percentage of people in the West, the place where the incel movement is being talked about, who are members of the "incel community".
30 thousand / 1.1 billion = 0.00003
when calculated as a percentage that represents
0%
But how can this be? Governments are spending millions of taxpayer dollars to study "incels". Incels are taking over the minds of young men around the English-speaking world. It's a major driver of violence against women and terrorism. Politically, it may mean the end of women's rights. Yet zero percent of the population are "incels".
Maybe I am not being fair to the mainstream view. After all, the subgroup has to be highly exclusive by its very nature. So, let's say the population of potential incels is just the male population of the West. There are 166 million men in the US and 20 million in Canada. We can estimate the population of Europe by dividing 744 million in half. If we use the male population as a base, we have 558 million potential targets for radicalization.
Let's compute the probability of a man being an incel as we have defined it using this number.
30 thousand / 558 million = 0.00005
when calculated as a percentage that represents
0%
Zero percent again.
Let's try to be even more fair to the mainstream view and say that incel radicalization only happens to young men who grew up on the internet.
If we define young men as those below the median age, we can say that there are 279 million men who are at the prime age for incel radicalization. Let's compute the amount men who support incel ideology.
Incels, as described by the media, simply put, do NOT exist.
Incel message boards exist, but their membership is too low to matter. Even the men who congregate on incel message boards do not meet the requirements to be a literal incel. The men on those message boards could easily have sex with women if they were to hire a professional. If the problem incels have isn't sex, what is it?
To answer that question we can look at an example of what most people would call an incel, Elliot Rodger. In 2014, Elliot Rodger went on a killing spree that ended the lives of six people and injured 14 others using knives and guns. He left videos and a manifesto explaining the reasons for his actions.
When we refer to someone as an incel, we generally mean this person has this psychological profile. His actions are extreme, but his ideas are not. His attitudes towards masculinity and sex are problematic, but they are not extreme. His ideas about himself, masculinity, and sex are normal. They are shared by you, the reader, and you both got them from the same place. You absorbed them explicitly and implicitly from the culture. The culture you absorbed them from has been informed by hundreds of years of feminist activism.
Let's take a look at a few excerpts from his manifesto, My Twisted World, that highlight his thinking about sex and masculinity.
"Because of my father’s acquisition of a new girlfriend, my little mind got the impression that my father was a man that women found attractive, as he was able to find a new girlfriend in such a short period from divorcing my mother. I subconsciously held him in higher regard because of this. It is very interesting how this phenomenon works… that males who can easily find female mates garner more respect from their fellow men, even children. How ironic is it that my father, one of those men who could easily find a girlfriend, has a son who would struggle all his life to find a girlfriend."
"In the Spring, something horrible happened that will haunt me forever. We met up with the Bubenheims at the Sagebrush Cantina in Calabasas, and a friend of Pollina’s was there with them, named Nicole, a girl around my age. She sat next to Leo the whole time, and by the end of the dinner, the two of them were making out. Twelve-year-old Leo was making out with a girl who was almost my age. Not only does Leo have a better social life, but now he was making out with girls, AT AGE TWELVE! They made out for a long time, and I could see them tongue kiss. They knew I was watching with envy, and they still did it. I bet that lucky bastard took great satisfaction from my envy. There I was, watching a boy four years younger than me experience everything I’ve longed for… to kiss a girl… to be worthy of a girl’s attraction. On that day, I developed a vicious hatred for Leo that will never go away."
"My situation was indeed horrible. I couldn’t leave the house without seeing a young couple walking around somewhere. Everywhere I went, I was all by myself, while other young people had friends and girlfriends. I was ashamed to show myself to the world. Even though I wore expensive designer clothes, what was the point if girl’s still weren’t attracted to me? No one respects a man who is unable to get a woman. A man wearing shorts and a T-shirt would be seen as superior to me if he walks into a store with a beautiful girl on his arm and I walk in all alone. A man having a beautiful girl by his side shows the world that he is worth something, because obviously that beautiful girl sees some sort of worth in him. If a man is all alone, people get the impression that girls are repulsed by him, and therefore he is a worthless loser."
" In addition, I had to suffer the shame of other boys respecting me less because I didn’t get any girls. Everyone knew I was a virgin. Everyone knew how undesirable I was to girls, and I hated everyone just for knowing it. I want people to think that girls adore me. I want to feel worthy."
" My little brother really looked up to me. He was one of the few people who treated me with adoration, and that made me feel at least a small twinge of self-worth. It was quite surprising that he respected me so much, since I had nothing in my life to boast about to him. He even asked me once if I had ever had a girlfriend, and I angrily told him that the matter was none of his concern. I didn’t want to admit to him that girl’s thought I was a loser. If he found out about that, he would respect me less."
"And that is how my tragic life ends. Who would have thought my life will turn out this way? I didn’t. There was a time when I thought this world was a good and happy place. As a child, my whole world was innocent. It wasn’t until I went through puberty and started desiring girls that my whole life turned into
a living hell. I desired girls, but girls never desired me back. There is something very wrong with that. It is an injustice that cannot go unpunished. There is no way I could live a happy life with such a scenario. Not only did I have to waste my entire youth suffering in loneliness and unfulfilled desire, but I had to live with the knowledge that other boys my age were able to have all of the experiences I craved for. It is absolutely unfair and unjust. In addition, I had to suffer the shame of other boys respecting me less
because I didn’t get any girls. Everyone knew I was a virgin. Everyone knew how undesirable I was to girls, and I hated everyone just for knowing it. I want people to think that girls adore me. I want to feel
worthy. There is no pride in living as a lonely, unwanted outcast. I wouldn’t even call it living."
Elliot is NOT wrong. His reasoning is 100% correct. Elliot has accurately described the thoughts and attitudes towards sex and its relationship to masculinity that our society has adopted. That is why incel has become such a ubiquitous insult. By calling someone an incel you have accepted the following premises.
Incel ideology is the water in which we swim. Everyone passively accepts the core premise, yet we are horrified when we see it followed to its logical conclusions. To better understand incel psychology, we need to examine his counterpart "the alpha male".
Let's take a look at Andrew Tate, who was at one point the most Googled man in the world.
Andrew Tate prides himself as an Alpha male. Why is he an alpha male, you ask? He is one, he says, because he has sexual access to women. While he doesn't respect women and views them as objects, he is completely psychologically dependent on them. The women are disposable trinkets that are primarily used to assert dominance over "beta males".
Incels and alpha males are the same man, but with different material outcomes in dating. Once you accept that access to women is a measure of your worth, you develop one of two distinct pathologies depending on your level of success. The "alpha male" becomes consumed by the drive to compete with other males in a market that is defined by hyper-commodification and disposability, while the incel absorbs the ambient hatred of sexually unsuccessful males and turns it inward, destroying his mental health. These pathologies exist on a spectrum, with the most extreme cases giving us Elliot Rodger and Andrew Tate.
How did we get to this point? How did we go from a society that reliably produces husbands and wives who are capable of staying married and raising kids to one that produces horrifying emotional monsters like Andrew Tate and Elliot Rodger?
Women.
Women did this to us.
Women have violently imposed this attitude on us. Women have done this because they have been radicalized by an ideology based on female entitlement to sex. This ideology has taken over every major institution in the Western world and is protected from criticism through terrorism.
You may find my last claim ridiculous, but it is true. Let's look at some examples of feminist activism around the West.
Feminist activists have managed to convince the UK Government to direct resources to combating "incel ideology" to children who are still in primary school. Before males even reach puberty, they are taught that sexual access is a measure of their personhood. Students are taught how to identify unattractive men and persecute them. The persecution is enforced by the teachers and administrators.
Any mental health efforts directed at these men must address their moral failings that led to their status as "incels". Their moral failing, of course, is misogyny. The incel needs to understand that female sexual access is not only a marker of personhood, but also a judge, jury, and executioner. Men that women won't have sex with aren't just undesirable, they are irredeemably bad people.
Compare this to the messaging targeted at young women by Feminists.
Feminists sell women a message of self-love and self-respect. Women are taught to sneer at the male gaze. Women are taught that a man making explicit remarks about her physical appearance is rude. Women are taught that men who reject them based on common male criteria, such as weight or age, should be ashamed of themselves.
Why such different messages for the sexes from an ideology that is supposed to be about equality? The answer is simple. Feminism is not about equality. Feminism is and always has been about female entitlement to sex. This is extremely obvious when you look at what feminists do, but most people won't because they are scared of violent and social retribution.
I've made some insane claims about Feminism, and I intend to prove each one. Let's start with the claim that the Feminist movement is violent.
To examine why this is the case, we need to define violence.
"behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something."
Violence is done by men ... isn't it? Women don't engage in violence, do they?
Instead of bringing up domestic violence statistics that my feminist readers would rather not know, let's point out something we can all agree on. Women in the West are involved in the political process. Women vote. Women vote for laws. Women vote for taxes. Laws are violently enforced, and taxes are violently confiscated. Any political activism done by women is done so with the express purpose of having their will violently enforced.
So, we have established that women are violent. Now it is time to look into their radicalization. Let's define radicalization first.
"the action or process of causing someone to adopt radical positions on political or social issues"
To demonstrate this, let's start with a simple poll of just how many women consider themselves feminists in the United States.
THAT ISN'T RADICALISM!
WOMEN ARE OPPRESSED!
If that doesn't do it for you. Let's take a look at the growing gender divide.
The results speak for themselves. Except for in South Korea, which is not in the West, but holds our social futures, women are the radicalized sex.
To prove the next part of my claim, we need to define entitlement. The following are three definitions of the word entitlement.
"the fact of having a right to something"
"the belief that one is inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment"
""a government program that provides benefits to any individual meeting certain eligibility requirements"
I'd like to present to you an illustration of the issues that motivate young voters by sex.
The right to abortion is the issue that animates women's politics the most. To have an abortion, you need to have sex. Women making their reproductive rights their number one political priority maps exactly to the first definition of entitlement.
We can see how women's entitlement to sex maps to the second definition provided when we look at the villainization of incels. Incels are pilloried as monsters for suggesting that men are entitled to sex, but women make entitlement to sex their number one political priority. Women view sex as a right and a right that is unique to them.
We can illustrate this point further by looking at the various privileges around reproduction that are exclusive to women.
If we tried to document all of women's special privileges around sex, we'd lose track of time.
Women's independence is a complete myth. Women are not more "independent" from men in this new feminist society. They have switched the dependence from marriage to one man to subsidies that are financed by the general man. Men are the sex that pays taxes. Women, simply put, do not pay enough into the pot to make up for what they take out.
Now it is time to point out the most sinister part of the feminist movement, terrorism. Let's go ahead and define terrorism.
"the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims"
When the #metoo movement was first getting started, many people raised objections to trial by social media. Many feminists told the detractors they were tired of being silenced. Women were finally standing up to the Patriarchy's attempts to silence them, citing the witch trials as an example. There is just one problem with that narrative: the witch hunts we think of were started by women.
The primary accusers in the Salem Witch Trials were women. Witch Hunts are what you get when you fail to keep women's relational aggression under control. A witch trial was cancel culture before it was called cancel culture. Gossiping, social exclusion, exposing secrets, and backstabbing are staples of the power dynamics in cliques of high school girls. However, they are terrible tactics if you are trying to run an organization or government. Unfortunately for us, this is the world we live in. Take a look at the cover of a book below.
Before #metoo completely decentralized the process, there was a playbook used to destroy men who were critical of feminism. In the digital era, SJWs are self-appointed enforcers of ideological discipline. In the very name they use to describe themselves, they admit they are terrorists. They are "warriors", unsanctioned combatants, who target people to achieve the political goals of social justice.
So, where does that leave men? Men are being demonized for problems they didn't create. I am often reminded of an excerpt written by C.S. Lewis in The Abolition of Man.
"We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful."
Patriarchy was not the rule of men; it was the rule of the fathers. A father is not a baby daddy. A father is not a deadbeat. A father is not absent. A father is a man who invests the maximum amount in his reproductive partner and her children. Not only did the patriarchy place fatherhood as the ideal, but it was also actively hostile to all other male reproductive strategies.
In a world that demonizes fatherhood, yet forces men to prove themselves by having sex, the only masculine identities available are Andrew Tate or Elliot Rodger. These are the men feminism created and the men feminism deserves.
