It's been a long time ago. It was an interesting time and I gained some insight through it. I have upgraded my game since then, rest assured.

It just gives unrealistic thoughts to some that this is how it works... But honestly, if someone watches porn and thinks that this is how society works, then they are fucking idiots.

As there are plenty of over sexual people, losing porn industry would make everything way worse. Just let people watch porn, and teach them to respect real life people.

Like I said before, compare it to video games. We are not gonna ban violent video games, are we?


Porn isn't supposed to be real and what happens there is almost always heavily coreographed to varying degrees. It can be even, in some ways, a ritualized sex performance.

Many females prefer written content. Also quite often the violent and nasty kind.

Oh, a lot of women are total freaks what it comes to their fantasies, more so than guys I'd say tbh.

It's more that he was the poster child for "the manosphere" to people who were too lazy to understand what they were against, or were being actively dishonest about it.

TBH, it's not hard being against something called the Manosphere, considering its silly name and support of novels and PUAs.

This is a public image issue.

Given that the label is applied by outsiders trying to demonize all individual movements within under one easy umbrella, that's on purpose.

Pretty much the only two things that are shared in common between redpillers, PUAs, MGTOW, and MRAs, are an opposition to feminism (though how and why is different for all four), and "maleness". The vast majority of people who use the term (barring Saiwana, basically) have a hatred for both, and thus see all four as different heads of the same thing, in spite of the reality of things.

Why does the Manosphere rally behind people with questionable morals and attitudes anyhow, especially when they're criticizing second and third wave feminists for doing the exact same thing? Most of these people don't deserve to be lionized and, in a healthy society, they wouldn't be.

I'm Jewish but even I can appreciate that you're fundamentally misunderstanding the immaculate conception.

No one with any seriousness of purpose has ever really rallied behind Roosh V.

It's too bad the toxic bits of Feminism and their opposites (manosphere, MRA or whatever one wishes to call them) blind people to the fact both have actual good points to make and could actually be allies to one another if they both do seek equality.

I've no idea why some people oppose Men's Shelters, since there are actual circumstances where a man can need a place to stay safe from a dangerous spouse. I've also no idea why others dismiss the actual problems of sexism and racism in the world simply because some 'woke' people tend to complain about things which aren't really problems.

Honestly, the men’s shelter thing is explicitly about money. The government provides a certain amount of money for shelters, and the people explicitly working against men’s shelters don’t want any going to men on the basis of their sex.

The alternative would be letting men in danger from their own spouses into Women's Shelters, I suppose.

No such thing to them - normal thing in feminist shelters is to accuse men abused by their spouses of being the abuser in disguise.

But if true, this is a sea change in their activities and behavior.

There's no stability or long-term happiness in persistently acting like a douche and/or predator. You're not going to reap the benefits of genuine love, family life, and community. That's why most people eventually have some desire to settle down with a person of their preferred sex and/or gender who connects with them on a deep mental and spiritual level. And G-d doesn't really approve of promiscuity or premarital sex either so if he experienced a religious awakening those would be some of the first things to go. He's no longer red-pilled. Now he's just based.


Has he given up being a sexist douchebag too? Hopefully that shot glass that hit him in the face knocked some sense into him. When he fell down he needed a medic. When he got back up, hopefully he had some logic.

It makes it so much harder to fight for men's rights when the movement gets hijacked by full on mysognists who think every woman owes them sex. No Roosh, they don't need to sleep with you. They have every right to say no, and a right to say fuck off when you don't take no for an answer.

Because they're reactionaries and have stupidly decided that mirroring feminism's flaws makes them a counterbalance.

The anonymity of the internet and the easy access to echo-chambers for any viewpoint one has seems to have made a lot of people on the internet into titanic arseholes. A shame, really, seeing all the possibilities for good which would be fulfilled if people stopped trying to be dicks to one another online and put all that energy into positive outlets.
