Feminists do not have an "obsessed hatred" with Nice Guys, though you (and a few others on here) seem to be somewhat obsessed with feminism (well, more like a mix of the simple fact it exists, and various straw versions of it). The matter will bother various feminists and non-feminists to varying degrees.

As I have explained, the key point is that Nice Guys are often not nice. So that they call themselves so, frankly, rankles. And that they are not nice, yet insist their being so is the reason for their lack of luck with the ladies, rankles all the more. The fault is in the women who constantly reject them, not themselves. Because the only thing that can explain their constant rejection is that women don't really want a 'nice' guy. There is then often a jump from this to the assertion that feminism is somehow false, a lie, because apparently all women want jerks.

Thing is, 'nice' is hardly enough to build a romantic relationship on. And, as noted, the Nice Guys aren't even nice. They have made an identity based on their inability to understand their being (romantically) rejected.

I've been a "struggling lonely guy". They have my sympathies. I have not been a Nice Guy. They're a bunch of jerks tarnishing the perfectly good idea of being nice.


it doesn't matter if these ''nice guys''are jerks or not,the fact
they are lonely and struggling,and most often omega,''low status
men''.There are tons of sexist alpha males,that very rarely get
chewed out by feminist.Feminist have a hatred towards unpopular guys.

It matters as far as this conversation goes, and they are. See, it's quite simple. Why do some people, including a lot of feminists, take a disliking to Nice Guys? It's because Nice Guys are jerks.

Quote:
the fact they are lonely and struggling,and most often omega,''low status men''.


(Ah, you believe in that alpha/omega stuff. That explains something.)

And? What does it matter? Non-rhetorically, sincerely, what does it matter to you? And what do you think feminists should do about it? Do you think feminists should care about men who are lonely and struggling, should take up their fight? Do you think it's because of feminism that some men are lonely and struggling? Do you think feminists all have the hots for 'alpha males', and such couples mock those of 'low status' as often as possible?

I would guess one reason some Nice Guys may be 'lonely and struggling' is because they are jerks.

Seeing as anything you have to say on the matter is a variation on 'but it's not faaaaiiirrrr!', I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that, actually, you want to know why feminists don't like - indeed, have an 'obsessive hatred' towards - you.

Quote:

Oh, ffs. See, now you're just making s**t up. The first rule of feminist club is, 'chew out the sexist alpha males'. That is the foundation of feminism - that there are men in positions of power (and thus wealth) in the institutions that shape our society, and this power is wielded such that it has influence on society and often impacts negatively on the lives of women just for happening to be women.

Quote:

Hey, you made more s**t up. Well done.

Or, more worryingly, you're paranoid.

This is mind boggling. Let me quote myself:

I love the quote "The truth is incorrect." What is the factual truth, because it's not politically correct, gets dismissed.

Since I'm in an asperger's forum I had to put the explanation in front of it because we're not very good with these kind of interpretations. But, had you bothered to read the rest of the sentence and connect the dots, you would understand what the quote means. An example: black people have, in average, lower IQ's than jewish people. Does that mean it's a genetic trait or a cultural trait? Well, since it's politically incorrect to even consider this FACT (the difference in IQ's) the subject was not as well adressed as it should. It turns out that it can be better explained as difference in culture, economic and social status, than in genetic terms.

The thing is: the truth, many times, is ugly. But by discovering it we at least can do something about it.

But this discussion is going nowhere since page 3 or 4. Either you get it or you don't.


I get it now, as you have essentially changed the sentence. "The truth, many times, is ugly" at least has some sense to it. "The truth is incorrect" does not. Either you need a qualifying word before 'incorrect', or to have 'incorrect' itself in quotes. Otherwise it is gibberish. I guessed what it meant from context. I had to guess, as the line on it's own was, again, gibberish. I'm sure it made sense in your head. It's just that it didn't on screen.

You still haven't told me what FACT I have denied and dismissed. A little unfair. Our discussion might go somewhere if you did so.

I don't think it's politically incorrect to consider the IQ FACT, more that, well, what is to be made of the fact. Is there even such a thing as IQ is supposed to be? If so, can it be measured? etc.

For sake of argument, I will agree to your statement that, on average, Jewish people do better than Black people on the same IQ test. And, well, what? What is there to talk about? Do you consider it important? Why? Etc. I don't mean to drag this into a discussion on IQ, by the way. I was using your FACT to make the point that, even where we agree on a FACT, we may disagree on its importance and relevance and meaning. The problem is when one party attributes a particular importance to a FACT, and thinks that, actually, the importance is inherent in the FACT, when it has actually been attributed. But when you won't tell me what FACT I have dismissed, we can't even begin to talk about importance, meaning etc.

Either you get it or you don't.

Anyway, Bill Burr was considered comic of the year in 2011, I think. He's still one of the most famous commedians today. Louis CK is THE most famous comic at the moment.

Your attitude of "I don't know them so their opinion is not important to me" is the equivalent of a "lay man" saying "I don't know Grothendieck, so what he says about mathematics has no importance to me".

I can only suppose you're writing as though I have any interest in the US comedy world, and the opinions of those therein. I don't. I'm not entirely sure why I should, either. If I wanted to, I would. I don't want to, so I don't. I don't know who Grothendieck is, nor what he says about mathematics. I don't suppose such a thing would interest me, assuming I could understand it. It may well be important to me, if he says things that could impact upon my life in a practical way. What some comedians I haven't heard think of another comedian I have heard a little of but didn't care for - try as I might, but I can't see how what those opinions are will impact practically on my life.

But then, there are many such things - people having opinions about things I don't have much interest in. I have enough things I'm interested in, and enough people whose opinions I deem worth considering to keep me quite busy, ta.

Do you know Simon Price's opinion of the third Manic Street Preachers album? Do you even care? Do you even know who any of those people are? I'd be pleasantly surprised if you did, but I'm not going to opine that you haven't got a clue about music if you don't, and that you really should and that, honestly, it'd be like a layman not being interested in Mary Warnock's views on voluntary euthanasia.

See, I'm not you, and you're not me. I think we're both relieved at that (rather beautiful) FACT.

You need to understand that while the men in my family supported women's rights for a half-century before you were born, they didn't do that to install an abusive matriachy. You and starvingartist both ripped men's rights activists with statements that made it clear that neither of you have ever known one. Then you tried to shift the discussion to men's rights issues that you support. That's what you just don't get. You don't decide what a men's issue is.

And your counter-proposal made no sense. If there's no risk, why go to the trouble? You were never serious. Being serious means that you're willing to bet on it. I gave you the chance. You offered a hedging middle-ground that didn't fit your claim.

It has tons of quotation type-encodings, and metadata support.

Otherwise, you're polishing a turd.

Really?! I have to spell it out for you?
*'Mangina' is a slur used against men who sympathize with feminist. It is along the same lines as the earlier 'hen-pecked,' a term to shame men into agreeing with other men rather than taking women seriously.
*'Mangina' is a combination of the words 'man' and 'vagina,' and is thus a way to suggest that any man who agrees with feminists is not a 'real' man, is less than whole, and is partly female. It recapitulates the idea that being female is less than being male, along the lines of 'throws like a girl (weak),' 'p**** (sniveling),' and 'girly-man (lacking in fortitude).' It emphasizes the idea that being a 'real' man is about *not* being a woman, rather than about being a grown-up male.
*Mangina' is a term that is used pretty much exclusively on radical MRA forums. It is used pretty much exclusively by reactionary people to represent reactionary ideas.
*Use of the term 'mangina,' therefore, is a strong signal that the user is a reactionary person with reactionary (and repulsive) ideas and ideals.
*People with reactionary ideas and ideals are so far outside the norm, and consistently so wrong, that in the absence of extraordinary evidence or logic to support their claims, they may be dismissed out of hand in the same way that we might dismiss someone arguing for a perpetual motion machine on a physics forum.

I don't know. I mean, three laughing emoticons? That's a hell of an argument.

I had a read through the thread earlier, and what the central problem here, and with a certain venn diagramed anti-feminist/'rational'/Game overlap thinking (or, 'thinking') in general, seems to be is that some men are utterly convinced of a particular theory of how women are, and what they want from men, and how men are, and what they want from women, and what sexuality is, etc. It doesn't matter that any number of women (and men) may say 'no, I'm not like that, and don't know many people who are, that's not my experience', that any number of examples run counter to their theory, because they really really like their theory. It's got some scientific bits in and everything (which handily allows for anyone who disagrees to be labelled 'anti-scientific', or someone who denies FACTS).

It seems to me that, where one's theory is found wanting time and again, one goes away and rethinks it. It is Cnut levels of folly to stamp your feet and insist reality live up to your theory.

indeed--there seems to be a serious emotional investment in being right, rather than understanding the truth. people can't get out of their own way to see the reality of a situation.

*edit to include: Why can't people understand that human sexuality is not black and white? Men are not one way and women another. We are more than the walking sums of various biological impulses dictated by chromosomes, and to suggest that's all we are is reductive to the point of rendering one's argument ridiculous and irrelevant. i know that black-and-white thinking can be a problem with people on the spectrum (i have struggled with it at times, myself)--but come on!

Lady, get this through your skull: I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyy smarter than you people.

(with the exception of one person, who certainly knows who I'm refering to).

The quote "The truth is incorrect" is only worthy of being a quote because it's an amusing paradox. It's obvious to anyone with a working brain that the truth cannot be incorrect. So what the hell is the quote saying then? The quote is using the word "incorrect" in the sense of "politically incorrect". And it's an interesting way to sum up the atitute towards the things that, although they are true, get denied _ or swept under the rug _ because they are politically correct. Was it that hard? It shouldn't be hard, especialy when you have the explanation next to it!

The FACT that he is denying is the FACT we've been discussing from the first page, that he didn't even bother to read (or has misteriously disapeared from his memory), namely, in case your memory was erased, that feminists deny the fact of the existence of the friendzone. And then he says that I don't point out the fact. The whole thread revolves around this thing.

The only alternative explanation is a collective trolling, but that's too paranoid for my taste. So my first sentence is absolutely correct.

I've argued with reasoning; with science; I've made my point from numerous perspectives; I've posted a video of a demonstration of collective supressed racism; I posted a video of a guy turning an angry woman like all of you into a horny giggling woman _ because he knows how you work. You don't understand neither of the points? Or are they "incorrect"? That's too bad.

How do we know that the Bible is the 'Word Of God'? Because the Bible says that it is.
How do we know that ModusPonens is 'Smarter Than All Of Us'? Because Modus Ponens says that he is.

*'Mangina' is a slur used against men who sympathize with feminist. It is along the same lines as the earlier 'hen-pecked,' a term to shame men into agreeing with other men rather than taking women seriously.
*'Mangina' is a combination of the words 'man' and 'vagina,' and is thus a way to suggest that any man who agrees with feminists is not a 'real' man, is less than whole, and is partly female. It recapitulates the idea that being female is less than being male, along the lines of 'throws like a girl (weak),' 'p**** (sniveling),' and 'girly-man (lacking in fortitude).' It emphasizes the idea that being a 'real' man is about *not* being a woman, rather than about being a grown-up male.
*Mangina' is a term that is used pretty much exclusively on radical MRA forums. It is used pretty much exclusively by reactionary people to represent reactionary ideas.
*Use of the term 'mangina,' therefore, is a strong signal that the user is a reactionary person with reactionary (and repulsive) ideas and ideals.
*People with reactionary ideas and ideals are so far outside the norm, and consistently so wrong, that in the absence of extraordinary evidence or logic to support their claims, they may be dismissed out of hand in the same way that we might dismiss someone arguing for a perpetual motion machine on a physics forum.


And feminists call women "misogynists" when they don't toe the line. I guess you're not relevant.

'Misogynist' is not indicative of a radical mindset in the same way that 'mangina' is indicative of a reactionary mindset. 'Misogynist' has been in use for decades and has a descriptive purpose other than being a slur.

I don't actually hear the word 'misogynist' used very often in feminist circles. It *is* used, but it's not thrown around willy-nilly the way the way that 'mangina' seems to be on the MRA sites I see. A misogynist is someone who actively 'hates' women, by definition; most of our issues in the US today have to do with a lack of respect, rather than actual hate.
