I recently listened to the recently released Matt Forney After Hours – Down on Your Bended Knee.
It is about Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, the writer of the novel “Venus in Furs” which details the sexual perversion that later went on to become “masochism”.
If you are a man or a boy – particularly someone who is a product of a single-parent household – you need to listen to this podcast. It is vitally important to understand this dysfunction in the relationship between men and women.
A couple days after listening to this podcast, I was given a horrific realization that this model of relationship is the only path which single mothers drive their sons towards. Without the example of the negotiations between husband and wife to follow, sons see supplicating to women as the only way in which to please women. A great fallacy which is often repeated writ large in society – obey the will of women at all costs.
Women on the whole do not respect men who give them everything they want. Just look at my previous entry on The sad tale of Alexander Pettersson.
Society is about creating an entire under-class of male individuals (these aren’t men) who are masochists. All the while, women and the men of power whip you, stand on your neck and laugh at you for falling for the game they made you play.
When the novel is read properly, this book was never about lionizing this fetish, it was a warning against it. Severin, the main protagonist in the novel “Venus in Furs”, in all respects becomes a Sadist after becoming disgusted in the way he used to supplicate to the will of women.
The time-delay fuse on this podcast’s reaction in me was an eye-opener. As the realization above hit me I got really, really angry. Mostly because I could see myself as Severin, someone who used to toady to try to get affection from women. This was a strange form of anger. Not a little angry, but to a level that could justify murder. Was this realization how Serial Killers justify their killings?
C.S Lewis rightly said that “Satan always sends errors in pairs”. Where Masochism is bad, some men compensate by becoming Sadists in response. I recognized that I could not trust this anger within me. It was never “me” to being with.
I will take on what I have learned from this. Understand that this is the world made by Single Mother Families – a world divided by the polarization caused by this lack of positive masculinity.
Value yourselves guys, above what society and women say you are worth.
I recently watched a video from Dianna Davidson about the silence around the abuse case of Andray Domise.
After watching this, I had to pose a few questions about humanity in general, specifically our need to scapegoat and turn people into social-pariahs.
There is no quarter given, no nuance accepted for the human scapegoat, the social-pariah. No grievance too small to prevent you from being hoisted up to be sacrificed on the altar of social justice.
The need to create human scapegoats and social-pariahs fascinates me. History is replete with examples of the same thing, happening over and over again. There is no social “progress” while humans act this way. The echoes of this barbarism reverberate with us still today.
Why do we instantly reject the civilizing practice of the universal application of justice? Does this speak of a darker, sinister need that resides in the hearts of all people? Is this the flip side of the coin of our desire to feel accepted and included into human groups?
It is a deep question that few people are willing to investigate. Why do we act this way?
I’d like to give a shout-out to Sargon of Akkad for bringing to my attention arguably seven of the most harrorwing minutes of personal monologue I have ever heard. After hearing this, I am forced, no, compelled to give a response not only to Alex Pettersson, but to feminism and to Swedish Society at large.
I think at first glance, alot of MGTOWs will describe this man, rightly, as little more than a tragic/comedic caricature on the same level as Uncle Ruckus from the TV Show, “The Boondocks” written by Aaron Macgruder. Good show, I do highly recommend it.
Uncle Ruckus (despite being quite obviously African-American) completely rejects everything about being African-American. He is a sad figure who sees no value in being African-American, and to avoid an existential conflict, chooses to believe that he is not one. Though in all respects, Uncle Ruckus has not freed himself at all, taking on menial (almost slave-like) service work in and around the plush gated-community of Woodcrest to perpetuate the slave-master dynamic he fervently needs to justify his life, his identity.
I see some strong similarities between Uncle Ruckus and Alexander Pettersson and that would lead a lot of men in the manosphere to ridicule and deride the way Alex has surrendered all positive traits of masculinity. But in all fairness, we have to look at both characters with a great deal of pity. They are products of the environment in which they exist.
And I do emphasize the term “exist” because you don’t really “live” until you are able to completely accept who you are as a person. You don’t “live” until you have a positive, independent identity. This leads me to this very sad conclusion: The person that is known as Alexander Pettersson does not live any more.
He has become the toxic-dumping-ground for every negative stereotype ever referred to as masculinity. We often hear feminists decry women who won’t join their ranks as “internalizing misogyny”, just hearing one minute of Alex’s piece tells you straight away that this man has fully “internalized misandry”. He has personalized every negative generalization regarding manhood.
Alexander compares himself to the likes of George W. Bush, Vladimir Putin and every rapist, merely by sharing the same genitalia. But I think the worst part in Alexander’s story is that his self-loathing is completely undeserved. It is wasted on trying to appease “women”.
The women in Alexander’s life, erm, existence enjoy a life that has been bought with the day-to-day sacrifices of men, for-better-and-for-worse. These women have enough time to indulge in their favorite past-time, fantasizing about the men at the very peak of their masculine power. Whether it is the influential world leader, the international soccer star, captain of industry, or the thug in a dark alley who has his hand over the mouth of his victim telling her not to scream or she will get hurt. This power dynamic is very seductive to these women. This is the apextual fallacy that Alison Tiemann speaks about quite a bit. Women only focus on men that THEY SELECT. These men are qualified to be “men” because they hold power over women.
Yes. Selection.
Sexual selection of mates. This is their biology. This is their nature. They do their darnedest to try to hide it, but they can’t help themselves but fall into this pattern of hypocrisy. Alexander, you have bought into the “lie” that masculinity is only about this “power” that some men have and most men, obviously, do not. You have been given a few scant pieces of the jigsaw puzzle and been asked to form a qualified view on masculinity.
Alexander Pettersson, you do not know “man” at all. All you know are buzzwords and propaganda. You are incapable of forming such an opinion in the environment in which you exist. You can’t say you embody all manhood without acknowledging the other 95% of men who are not a part of the power structure, and who would never think about raping a woman. In the same vein, you are the man who installs the electrical wiring into a home, the man who lays the sewerage line in a busy city, the father who plays with his children on the front lawn, the peace-keeper in the middle-east who monitors a disputed border, you are also Mozart, Da Vinci, Van Gogh, Newton, Aristotle, Einstein, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ. Generations of men who lived and continue to live quiet and inspirational lives, slowly building the foundations of civilization.
You are also *all* of these men.
But what annoys me more than anything, is the erosion of your right to be judged only on the content of your own personal character and individual deeds. No one has the right to place guilt on another human being for anything other than their own choices and decision making. We can’t change the past, we can only influence the present and plan for the future. The whole “sins-of-the-father” caper was left in the Old Testament of the Bible. Feminism needs to stop harking back to these anachronisms.
If there is guilt, it should be placed firmly on the heads of the feminists in your life. They speak of equality, but only want privilege. They want rights, but will not accept any responsibilities. They mew and shriek how men have caused all the problems of the world, but yet will still accept every luxury, comfort and advantage that western life offers them. When will you realize that it is they who are projecting their own superficiality and guilt onto you? They are not egalitarians. They are self-serving bigots and totalitarians.
I know, Alexander Pettersson, that you are trying to become something that will make yourself less dangerous, less masculine, to gain approval from these women. What you are doing is wrong. In the end you will become something that is even less than a servant. You are on the path to become a Eunuch. The only Eunuchs I know are found looking after the households of female royalty. It is done to ensure that there is no chance that the Eunuch can be SELECTED sexually. Maybe you are starting to notice the patterns of “privilege” that the women in your existence exercise over you! They want you to continue to faithfully serve their cause, and yet denounce not only your right to hold a positive self-identity, but also your right to have children in the future.
Alexander Pettersson, you have a decision. You can continue to associate with these women who do not appreciate you, who detest you. Women who will turn you from an individual into a “stereotype”. If you do this, you will become a Eunuch, a house-slave, safe enough to associate freely with his Mistresses, his Princesses. Accept that you are indeed a lesser “inferior male” and make way for the men that your women-friends SELECT.
But I say this to you in all seriousness. Their sole claim is in their ability to give birth to the next generation, but is that enough to make them worthy of your presence? Is their continued mistreatment of you really worth it? Are they really giving you a positive identity and are they really accepting you as a human being?
I know this sounds hard to believe, but hear me out on this.
Women are constantly fighting with one another for social dominance. As we have built this modern world, giving women more and more free time, more safety and less risks from health and environment issues we have also given them the flexibility to slip into “herd” mode.
And in any herd, there is the inevitable ladder of heirarchy – the pecking order – being constantly fought over. For men, our weapons are linked to our strengths and we fight physically for superiority. For women, they use other weapons, they use materialism as their main tool for superiority.
This materialism actually plays a large part in their Pre-Approval mechanism (I know it is a “Game” term but it is relevant.). Take men who buy $400 shoes, the Rolex Watch, the Imported Car. Their chances of success with women is increased over the man who has the cheap $40 shoes, the Seiko Watch and the second-hand Domestic Car. This Pre-Approval isn’t just applied to men, it is applied to women as well. A womans material wealth plays a large part in their social standing.
Pre-Approval has always been molded by the environment around women. In the past, women were part of the community, they knew most of the people in their own community, and they were known as well. Women saw that struggles of life were a normal part of being in a real relationship. Good Homes, well-adjusted and achieving kids, these were earned by leaner times when Marriages were new. Now in this modern age, real community is practically dead. What replaced it was the Modern Media. And the Modern Media has focused women onto the Material exclusively. That is the whole point of Advertising, right? Make people miserable unless they purchase their product. The situations and people in the dramas and reality shows that women enjoy, seem to show the women in the fulfillment of their material (and social) needs merely from being on these shows, or just for existing.
These shows condition women into needing these material things for Social Acceptance and to Socially Accept. Inclusion and Exclusion hang in the balance of possessions.
Like in any war, the real winners aren’t the people who fight the wars. It is the people who finance and produce the weapons used in such outbreaks of violence. Keynesian Consummerism needs women to keep on “fighting the good fight” on behalf of the Economy, and Prosperity and Jobs. What is left after the woman has proudly paraded her new Handbag in front of her GalPals is the animosities and jealousies which continue of smolder and burn after the new item is displayed. This leads the victims of this Material Violence to plot and buy the weapons needed for their counter-thrust at their mortal foes.
What of Men? You are there to further her war against ALL of womanhood. You will be used like a beast of burden and slaughtered to achieve her goal of Social Superiority. You are secondary to any concern that she might have. Their battles will consume you like ammunition. Society is now set up to ensure the spent cartridges are swept up and put out of way so they aren’t tripped on by the female combatants in the continuing Consumer War.
