They won't address real issues for the reason you wrote this post- they can't. Like you said, they only address the easy pickings, and put their head in the sand like that ostrich that poster was talking about drawing for everything else. It's fitting that he/she/it said to draw an ostrich actually. That's all they are painting themselves to be.

When the cold facts of reality are examined, like net tax contributions or divorce statistics and the facts are contradicted by an individuals worldview, that person is almost never going to willfully admit that they were wrong. They just won't, because it requires a level of self-critical examination and an aptitude to override ego that most people simply aren't prepared for.

It's easier to mock those who accept the bitter truth, than admit error to oneself.

edit: rephrased for clarity.

Actually, I edited the last sentence. IIRC it was,

Still works either way, to many people have grown up with participation trophies and have been sheltered from real hard work and actual tough times that they cant handle the slightest emotional trauma.

They're all so weak of mind, spirit, and body that anything other than praise and adoration cripples them mentally and with technology thay no longer have the ability to communicate effectively so complex arguments must be reduced to emoticons and other nonsense.

It's partially that they can't address the real issues, but it's likely also partially that they have more fun circlejerking at some over-the-top-TRP posts than they have looking up actual statistics.

They ride the incels pretty hard too- but those guys probably need a little almost human interaction though.

TBP is a troll subreddit. Considering it anything more than that is exactly what they want. Too much energy expenditure.

[–]Jcart105[S] 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (2子コメント)

That's an important thing I wanted to point out. They CLAIM to be a trolling satirical subreddit, but the fact of the matter is they're far more involved than that. Anyone who spends more than ten seconds on that subreddit would be able to see as such. Consider the fact that many of them lurk on manosphere blogs and subreddits more than said men of said manosphere blogs and subreddits...

Anyways, as I stated in the first paragraph, I want this to cater towards people who are on the fence or who are leaning-MGTOW, but had certain skeptical proclivities instigated by TBP that turned them away from it. I felt like no one really addressed that, so I decided to do it here.

[–]geocitiesuser 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

A long time ago I went to TBP because I was depressed about being rejected from women, and TRP was absolutely fucking NASTY to me. I thought surely "the anti TRP" would be full of normal compassionate people right? Nope, turns out they are a bunch of trolls just there to make fun of others. They don't deserve any recognition beyond that. They are very sad little people.

They CLAIM to be trolling satirical subreddit, but the fact of the matter is they're far more involved than that.

The amount of effort they put into digging up the worst possible comments of MGTOW or TRP is amazing. Any legitimate post backed up with facts, they will not touch. I am rather intrigued by them to be honest.

They saw a post I made here the other day and linked it to their sub. I don't mind that, matter of fact and surprisingly enough, I was able to have a decent civil debate with a few of them, though hardly any of them addressed the points I made, most just went to bashing the people who commented.

[–]Jcart105[S] 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Good, they really just shoot themselves in the foot by diminishing any sort of initial argumentative value they have by denying very well-demonstrated and documented facts. The smart ones will be able to see through.

They wont even allow reasonable voices to try and inform their user base. Me trying to explain some things

Me correcting someones belief that we all agree on things outside of MGTOW

Their ban letter to me

Seems like the smart thing to do on their end as I had multiple extended message based conversations with their subs who showed a genuine interest in knowing things.

This thread should be stickied. It clearly lists real problems, one after another, that are responsible for men joining MGTOW.

No one can address it. Men can't. Women can't. Because to address it would shatter their world view. Imagine the entire time learning that evil has been running afoot and you have been aiding it the entire time. Imagine realizing that you would die for such evil. Imagine the core of your beliefs being challenged? What it means to be a man. The destruction of your faith in a God. Facing and accepting that you live in a world that cares naught for half of it's species. Mentally and emotionally, they cannot do it.

They cannot face the fact that they are monsters. Hell, remember when I was Blue Pill. When a woman said she was raped? I would say: "OFF WITH HIS FUCKING HEAD! HUNT HIM DOWN AND SKIN HIM ALIVE!" Imagine my shock when I learned women lie about rape? Imagine my shock when I, a black man, learned that I lived a country that had white women LIE about rape in order to manipulate white men in hunting, beating, and kill black men and women got away with it. Imagine how I felt when I realized that my previous mentality could lead to the destruction of innocent lives. You're reading and going "That was me. I would have beaten a man without hesitation. I would have killed a man. I would have him locked up to be raped by prison inmates." You would have blood on your hands.

While I had done nothing, I felt terrible. I would suffer endlessly if I was responsible for the ruination or death of a man because of the lies of a woman. When the Red Pill Rage dies, all you see now is how disgusting things are and how disappointing it all is.

I'm not sure if this is welcome here, this seems like a tight-knit community, but it's early in the morning and I have some spare time before I go work so I figured I'd write something out.

I wouldn't consider myself a uh TBP, not sure what that means exactly, and I'm sure this is more rhetorical than a call to action, but it's often a helpful exercise for you to examine, and perhaps share, how you think someone on the other side would answer these questions. For the sake of intellectual honesty it would be good to look into the more academic approaches, as opposed to rants from fringe "SJW" people and their moronic contemporaries. Every ideology has loud, stupid members, who kind of get everything wrong, or like you said, people are expressing their emotions in rant. If men deserve a place to vent negative energy, doesn't everyone? Even people you don't agree with or like?

It's interesting to me, because all, or at least most, of the questions you asked about are all questions that are all asked and examined in sociological, psychological, political, and philosophical academic circles. There are different answers, of course, and many people disagree, but I guarantee you there are more nuanced answers coming from the intellectual viewpoints you disagree with than just "misogyny." I know academics who would identify as feminist would would agree that everything, or almost everything you mentioned above is important.

I don't know if these viewpoints represent TBP, I haven't read that sub at all, but these are difficult questions you're asking, that show obvious systemic societal problems, without obvious answers or solutions. I also don't think the implications that you mentioned above are all that obvious. You could ask 20 different people and get 20 different responses. If we're going with the honesty theme, we should agree that most people would be quite unqualified to answer these questions with true intellectual honesty and academic rigor, anyway.

Maybe your beef is with TBP and not actual academics, or you have a separate beef with academics entirely. Either way I hope you have a good day cultivating yourself in the man you'd like to be.

[–]Jcart105[S] 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I know very few intellectuals in academia who actually have addressed men's issues or rights in any explicit sense. The few that do so implicitly usually revert to blaming it on things like patriarchy or 'toxic masculinity'. I'm almost positive most would sneer if they heard/read the term 'Gynocentrism'.

Also, this is going to come off as extremely arrogant, but I honestly do not give a shit what academics claim unless it's something that is coming explicitly from from a STEM perspective, and I am not even sure if I would include Psychology in that realm either, because Psychology itself has been circumvented and hindered in research due to political correctness which is termed as 'scientific ethics'. I'll only make an exception if said personnel can provide robust evidence, but then they'll just be doing something that I and certain 'MGTOW scholars' have been doing for quite some time now, researching peer-reviewed journals and sociological statistics relating to interpersonal relationships between men and women.

I've taken several social science classes involuntarily (I'm an engineering major), and many of them tend to push a very biased notion that is strongly pro-government. This is made abundantly clear when almost all of the economic professors I have had all seemed to justify higher taxation whenever possible.

It's quite simple really though -- their jobs are literally state-sponsored (i.e. paid for and by tax revenue), and they have better job security and prospects with a big state government .

I digressed quite exhaustively (but so did you), but I feel as if you missed my intention. The main point of this thread was to point out how TBP misrepresents MGTOW by almost always attacking the lowest common denominator. For someone with more neutral tendencies or leanings on the matter who browses TBP, they would probably think that the bulk majority of MGTOWs are completely irrational and just extremely misogynistic, but the fact of the matter is there's MUCH more to us if they would actually address the more sophisticated arguments presented here.

[–]barthqore 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Thank you for responding I'll try and give you a fuller response during my lunch break. In the meantime I do want to ask if you think MGTOW inherently leans libertarian and is that generally agreed upon?

[–]Jcart105[S] 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

MGTOW does not explicitly identify with any political partisan. There are quite a few more socialistic and progressive MGTOWs than you'd expect. However, I'd say we generally have liberterian proclivities.

He's saying, in the nicest possible way, that it's misguided and pointless to generalise about the various opinions held by a small, academically unqualified group on the Internet. The important conversations are those at a professional level -- informed and properly scrutinized, and those that reach the wider public.

[–]Jcart105[S] 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (2子コメント)

The vast majority of my claims are substantiated by well-documented evidence and reasonings. Believe it or not, academia is far from flawless — many of them hold extremely biased views that are in favor of a large central government, which often times causes them to pursue a narrative that is only subjectively "true" at best (this can especially be seen in many economic courses).

It would be a form of appealing to authority to claim that no one outside of someone with a PhD can discuss said discussions.

Um, yeah, feminism, gender roles are socially constructed ie humans are magical beings and not primates, moral relativism ie genital mutiliation is just fine as long as brown people are doing it...

Aside from STEM, academia is a joke.

[–]Rik_the_rodent_king 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

All comments are welcome here. I'm pretty sure we even let manhood academy post their drivel in the comments section.

It boils down to tribalism, even in an individualistic lifestyle like MGTOW the call to defend the tribe against the enemy is strong. Even I engage in it when I find something particularly egregious (see my above post) and I hate tribalism like I hate no-knock raids. TBP takes time out of its day to troll through here looking for things to be outraged about and sometimes we take the bait. This is just us letting each other know that arguing with them is for personal joy only and wont accomplish what you set out to do.

Academia is another story. There are complex answers to these issues in society but we dont hear about them in the public discourse. The discourse is full of red herrings (feminism just means X), equivocations to greater harms (Male suicide isnt worth investing the kind of time/money cyber-bullying is), anecdotal claims based on poor math (wage gap), and Relative Privation fallacies (FGM is worse because/male rape is done to and by convicts/ its not okay to hit a GIRL) that the public can lose sight of broader ideas that run counter to this publicly voiced narrative. In colleges these narratives certainly appear to be dominating the activist community, along with race and class war rhetorics more recently, which means the most enthusiastic people are the ones filled with these ideas. Their heads got filled with these ideas from somewhere and the various places the students are coming from cant all be that homogenous. SO its pretty fair to think that academia is creating these problems and are the cause of the disease where the SJW is just a symptom of greater infection.

Hope this is clarifying. Drop in anytime. You seem reasonable.
