Yes: I'm sorry phildwyer. It wasn't fair at all what I did there, I know you've never said you're cross about it, whilst Roosh is.
And that's under patriarchal conditions. It seems reasonable to suppose that this hypergamous tendency among women is far more pronounced today, when women are free to select their own sexual partners on the basis of their own sexual desire.
So I'm confirmed in my opinion that, these days (approximately) 80% of women are chasing (approximately) 20% of men. Hence the Rise of the Beta.
BJs on tap plus housekeeper. And unlike their mum won't make them sit in the basement eating tins of cold ravioli.
What's the difference between a drag artist and a white person with dreadlocks?
Why?
That makes no sense, does it? Unless you think that all the women kept in harems and as some high status bloke's 7th wife really liked that, that was an expression of their 'hyeprgamy'.
No, my thinking of it was along the lines of MRA being a form of entertainment/performance.
WTF do MRAs get out of it, except to deepen their self-hate and general misanthropy?
Confirmation bias.Performance usually has a determined outcome, though. WTF do MRAs get out of it, except to deepen their self-hate and general misanthropy?
Actually the category "gay" doesn't really exist in the Muslim world.
That doesn't mean that men don't have sex with each other, for they most certainly do--far more than in the West. But there is no concept of homosexuality as identity, there are no "gay men." This was also the situation in the West until the twentieth century.
In fact, homosexuality as identity only emerged during the Oscar Wilde trial. That's also the point at which male homosexuality becomes identified with effeminacy in the popular imagination. Oscar has much to answer for.

Confirmation bias.
Like any hate group, MRAs / PUAs probably get a lot of comfort out of banding together and discussing the enemy, even if its only online, over their tinned ravioli.Confirmation bias.
And then we get to the MRA/PUA interpretation of it and it makes even less sense - do they have nostalgia for earlier times where a large proportion of men are sent off to die in wars or enslaved or whatever and so don't get to have kids, while a smaller number of rich men procreate freely (and treat women like property in the process) or are they complaining that some men are still seen as expendable and/or aren't getting enough sex??
Or how many go on killing sprees.To me, that doesn't seem like a great return on such a heavy emotional investment. It'd be interesting - although probably impossible in practical terms - to compare the suicide rate for MRAs, and the suicide rate for males generally.
Or how many go on killing sprees.
"the vast majority of men are hideous creeps."
Don't be so hard on yourself, phil.
AFAICT they're complaining that they, personally, don't get any sex. Or at least that's what their followers are complaining about.
It's easy to laugh at such men, and I've spent the last couple of days doing exactly that. But when you stop and think about it, it's a fairly serious drawback in one's life never to have any sex. I can totally see why it might drive them loopy. But I don't think there's anything to be done about it, and I think the situation today is far preferable to conditions under fully-fledged patriarchy. The Betas are necessary casualties of the sexual revolution--sort of like the Kronstadt sailors viewed from a Leninist perspective.
I think he nicked that line from Steven Patrick Morrissey.
So.. just to clarify:
You actually think that women's 'hypergamy' is to blame for these men getting no sex & going loopy, is that right? Because 80% of us are now free to chase that same 20%?
It's not about marriage ceremonies its about procreation; the DNA stuff is a pretty good indicator that the history of humans to a large extent involves some men having access to lots of sex whilst others got none at all. Which is exactly what people like Dwyer & Roosh, seem so irate about, as if it's something new that feminism / the modern world has done them, when in fact the opposite is true.

Yep, All those second & third sons, who went off to join the army or the monastery, or to rule the empire.I think in the past there was more to do if you were a guy who couldn't find a wife, you could sail the seven seas or join the priesthood or something. There aren't really these sorts of opportunities today for the kind of men who become MRAs.
Money I guess. Not much of it though, to judge by Roosh's living conditions.

I didn't, but Morrissey was right. I think anyone who has sex with a man needs their head examined.
