It’s a fear campaign targeting single young women and it has been incredibly effective.
The central, cynical message is, unless you vote for Harris, you’ll have to raise babies by yourself and no one will want you. (This post is not about people’s various principled objections to abortion; we’re discussing Democrats’ political strategy.) Democrats offer a way for young women to enjoy sexual freedom without fear, and that offer has been attractive to that demographic. (by contrast, men and married women lean Republican.)
This strategy is nihilistic, cynical, and an ethical black hole. The Democrats could care less about personal freedom and autonomy, as the pandemic’s mandates and medical passports proved beyond argument. The abortion issue is just a cynical political ploy to terrify single women into voting blue. Look, they even ditched their favorite motto after vaccine protestors touched it:
Celinda Lake, a Democratic strategist and pollster based in Washington, D.C., said "My
Body, My Choice" is no longer polling well with Democrats because they associate it
with anti-vaccination sentiment.
But I digress. After Roe v. Wade was reversed, and after several states outlawed recreational abortions, and after the Democrats’ relentless drumbeat about unwanted babies, you would think, as Politico does, that higher female turnout is all about single women’s fears of raising unplanned infants alone.
that higher female turnout is all about single women’s fears of raising unplanned infants alone.
have to raise babies by yourself and no one will want you.
So, the Dems are targeting women that cannot figure out how to have sex without getting pregnant?
The Misandry Bubble, as predicted in the article itself on 1/1/2010, became the manifesto of the anti-misandry movement, and thus an influential defense of human nature itself. It has been read by over 1 million people to date, and the Reddit(s) that cite this article as such have over 300,000 members. Due to this, we are definitely past peak misandry as of now. While most of the blogs linked in the original essay have been deleted or even deplatformed, the readers and contributors have diffused and burrowed deeper into the Internet, making the truths exposed more widely known than they otherwise might have been.
b) As predicted exactly 10 years ago :
i) There is still no organized Men's Rights movement, in terms of protests, lawsuits, petitions, etc. In fact, there are individuals who pretend to be Men's Rights Activists just to get donations from mistreated men desperate to fight back, but who have no intention of doing any activism. Any activism that actually damages the misandric apparatus is quickly reversed. Don't give them any of your money or any other form of endorsement.
ii) 'Sexbots' are still no closer to reality than they were in 2010, but VR Sex is all but here. As explained a decade before, this benefits even men who don't use it, as it corrects the imbalance in the marketplace. Yet, there are still technological ignoramuses who fixate on the prospect of 'bots' that will not arrive in the near future because there are too many product design obstacles. This includes the campaigns by (very unattractive) women to ban these 'imminent' sexbots, and thus are oblivious to the far more imminent technological and social disruption of VR substitution. The rise of aggressive new STDs, with women as carriers, are an additional force advancing VR Sex.
iii) The Four Horsemen of Male Emancipation have all advanced, but the fourth advanced the most. Observe how huge of a move there has been by men to avoid marriage (both consciously and subconsciously), and how apps like Tinder have served to organize all women for efficient 'on demand' usage by the top 20% of men, ensuring that these women are made permanently unsuitable for marriage on account of having had 20, 50, or 100 prior sexual partners.
MGTOWiv) In the US, the departure of young men from marriage is causing a predictable panic among women and 'social conservatives', who just cannot tolerate men acting in accordance with their own self-preservation. Demands for more government coercion will be next, and expect the most oppressive ideas to originate from 'social conservative' Republicans, rather than radical 'feminists'.
v) The grassroots backlash against corporate misandry is now powerful, swift, and international. Gillette's ill-conceived decision to vilify its core customer just so that a few mid-level agitators could outdo each other's displays of misandric flamboyance caused an $8 billion loss for the company. The 'Get Woke, Go Broke' phenomenon continues to manifest.
vi) Similarly, extreme 'feminist' displays of narcissism peaked with the 'ShirtGate' episode, where a major event in human scientific progress was hijacked by some of the most petty, anti-civilization 'feminists' ever (with creepy 'male feminists' piling on). The episode continues to be referenced as the epitome of 'feminist' ugliness and anti-enlightenment as few incidents encapsulate everything wrong with 'feminism' so completely. The army of people who rushed to the defense of the abused scientist, on what should have been the greatest ever day of his career, was heartening. Revealingly, nothing quite so absurd in terms of 'feminist' abuse of a non-political person has happened since, as this really was the straw that broke the camel's back. If you want to pinpoint an exact incident and week where the Misandry Bubble peaked, November 14-21, 2014 was it.
vii) GamerGate was a similar cultural tremor, also in late 2014. It comprised of men who were minding their own business opting to fight back against excessive 'feminist' demands that they stop their recreation to spend more time producing resources for ungrateful 'feminists' to parasitically consume. The gamers found that 'feminists' are so unaccustomed to being challenged that they could only respond by demanding that other men defend them. Few men volunteered for this thankless task other than some 'male feminists' and cuckservatives (see Section 19 below), and now 'feminists' are too hesitant to harass gamers further. This, too, is a major victory, and a template of what works against misandry.
viii) There was a secondary 'last gasp' peak of the Misandry Bubble on May 9, 2016, about 18 months after the primary peak described above. There was a video posted on the PragerU channel by someone named W. Bradford Wilcox, which claims that men can only become 'real men' if they make unreciprocated sacrifices for women under legally binding government contractual documentation. PragerU/Wilcox has never made any equivalent video demanding that women make sacrifices to meet their obligations to society, and they never will. This incredibly and cartoonishly dishonest video proves that 'conservatives' want socialism just as badly as leftists, except that they specifically want a 'chivalrous' socialism that bears no resemblance to traditional marriage, where only men are forced to be net payers, and women are net recipients. The overwhelming downvote ratio and negative comments on this video was among the greatest 'Streisand Effects' of all time, since it provoked a number of anti-misandry advocates to publish rebuttals, which got so many views, even years later, that many men who were not even seeking to become redpilled, learned the truth by exposure to the rebuttals. Mr. Wilcox is thus now widely and deservedly known as 'Wilcucks', is considered the very personification of cuckservative misandry, and if you doubt that physiognomy is real, look at his face. To this day, Wilcucks has a cushy University sinecure where he is paid to misrepresent the cost/benefit analysis of marriage to men to further the cuckservative vision of slavery-centric socialism, so if you want to give him a piece of your mind, find him on Twitter at @WilcoxNMP. Provoking him will further strengthen the Streisand Effect that he continues to generate, and is thus the highest bang-for-the-buck activism you can do. See 'US Conservatism' below.
image from stonetoss.comix) The fact that 'Male Feminists' are often creepy predators in disguise has become widely known and many such individuals have fortunately been exposed and convicted. Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit keeps a running chronicle of the numerous instances where the true nature of such an individual is exposed, and women have written articles warning other women to avoid these sexual predators. The #MeToo movement excised quite a few of these predators, but many still remain. Expose these 'male feminists' proactively and ruthlessly, since they are hated by women too, and thus are not a protected group.
x) 'Feminists' like Hanna Rosin have gloated that 'men are obsolete', and display an exceptionally poor understanding of what the real market forces are as they attempt to make their case. Such intellectual dust mites seem to not realize that about 90% of the world's people don't live in Western Protestant countries. These individuals have gone quiet of late.
xi) Melinda Gates' videos about the 'pay gap' and 'women in tech' have just about the worst ratio of upvotes to downvotes in YouTube history. This indicates that the silent army of informed men is orders of magnitude larger than it was a decade ago.
xii) By contrast, parody accounts that portray 'feminists' with great accuracy have over 400,000 followers.
xiii) Powerful documentary films, including those made by courageous women, have been produced and viewed by a large number of men, and more men are adapting to avoid risks. Other documentaries have exposed the $50 billion divorce industry for what it is.
xiv) The distinction between Marriage 1.0 and Marriage 2.0 has been mainstreamed. This is putting an end to the cuckservative scam that claims following Biblical marriage involves signing a government document, removing all fathers' rights, and eventually replacing the father with forced, USSR-style wealth transfer.
xv) Even Wikipedia, an organization notorious for remaining in denial about why almost all contributions to Wikipedia are and always will be by men, allows mention of the fact that the human brain is hardwired to treat women more favorably than men to reside on Wikipedia.
xvi) The Tea Party swiftly and predictably failed, since blue-pill cuckservatives were giddy about women getting involved. But once in, women disallowed any talk of cutting government spending that goes to women (which, of course, is most government spending). Expecting women to fight for small government is like expecting government employees to fight for small government.
Predictions :
i) While neither gender will ever be technologically obsolete as human beings, and it is quite evil to even hope for such a thing, the fact remains that to the extent that technological progress will reduce the power of one gender relative to the other from the current state, women have far more to worry about than men. This will be particularly true for Western women who work in types of jobs that don't seem to exist in great numbers outside the Protestant West (i.e. make-work jobs), and who think that becoming a wife and mother is less prestigious than a corporate career.
ii) The Nigerian romance scam will continue to prey on divorced women who secured a huge financial windfall, in a brutal manifestation of how market forces find a way around government social engineering. Another benefit of marriage is that it is far harder to scam a couple than an individual. Story after story of how women were scammed out of all of the money in their control, which is often a six or seven digit sum, continues to emerge. So now, because of the woman's selfishness (if her money was obtained through divorce), neither the husband nor her are in possession of their money.
iii) Comedians who used to make fun of misandry, including more than one type of misandry, have recently been threatened into silence. But evidence is emerging that comedians will fight back with vengeance, sending thousands of 'feminists' into futile therapy (since 'feminists' can't fight back via comedy due to zero talent in that area). Bill Burr's old anti-misandry bits are quite good, as are those of Aries Spears. The late, great Patrice O'Neal should be remembered for his courage.
iv) There will never be any 'feminist'-themed reality TV shows that garner significant audience viewership. The very premise itself is an oxymoron of 'fried ice' proportions.
v) VR just has to fix the nausea/eyestrain problem, and make the hardware lighter and wireless. These seemingly mundane refinements are all it will take for millions more women, higher up in the looks scale, to suddenly get far less male attention for reasons they can't discern. As said above, this could be within 24 months.
vi) While franchise after franchise of entertainment property has been ruined by a 'feminist' edition that explicitly seeks to overturn the central premises of the franchise, they have not been able to destroy one of the oldest and most successful ones : James Bond. Over 58 years and 25 films (including a non-Eon film), the age gap between the actor playing Bond and the female lead averages about 17 years, with a 47-year-old Bond and a 30-year-old actress as averages. 'Feminists' will continue to move mountains in a campaign to destroy this or even demand that Bond be played by a woman, but will fail. This franchise matters due its highly international fan base, and thus sells tickets in countries where 'feminism' is not the official ideology.
vii) Governments that used 'feminism' to create a welfare-state voting block will start to quietly and methodically trim down the resources diverted to women. They can get the same women to keep voting for the same parties even after they reduce the money diverted to them, now that they have them in a state of complete indoctrination and dependency, and since these women are not producing any new taxpayers/voters. Why overpay for a vote block that can no longer leave even if you cut them off?
viii) Outsourcing of jobs will continue to affect women more than men, since the indirect costs associated with hiring women in the West are pricing women out. Remember that base salary is only a fraction of the cost-of-doing-business equation. I am currently making big money in facilitating the outsourcing of service jobs from US and UK women to English-speaking Filipino, Malay, and Pakistani men and women in the Persian Gulf country that I operate in, where I pocket part of the difference. A large part of the difference is the 'litigation premium' associated with hiring women in the US, UK, Canada, etc.
ix) As US cuckservatism experiences its final death throes over the course of the 2020s, 'feminism' will continue to weaken as well, with few understanding why the correlation between the two is so tight.
But did the bubble fully pop, even if we are past peak misandry? Unfortunately, not fully. The reason for this is that 10 years ago, it was inconceivable that we would not have another recession within the next 10 years, as the next recession will surely destroy many types of 'feminism'. The money-printing from the Federal Reserve allowed government spending to continue past a point far greater than old models could have predicted (no one thought the US could get to $23 Trillion in a National Debt without a crisis). My co-blogger above favors this money-printing and wrote a whole book about why, but I dislike it, since it enables far more government spending, which of course goes mostly towards women, particularly women using the money to create 'feminist' outcomes for themselves that could not exist without government spending. So a recession is the necessary trigger for a full pop. That does not mean we wish for a recession, as that will harm innocent people, but there is no doubt that in each recession, the most undeserved net recipients always bear the force of the correction that a recession brings. The question is, how long can printing stave one off?
Patrick says
that higher female turnout is all about single women’s fears of raising unplanned infants alone.
So, the Dems are targeting women that cannot figure out how to have sex without getting pregnant? Maybe those gals need to date men who actually took the time to learn how to please a woman and not just date chads who only know how to rut.
Patrick says
have to raise babies by yourself and no one will want you.
That's true anyway with these chicks. GenZ men are the first to abandon previous generations' expectations of male roles because they know it's a raw deal for them.
So Dems will be expanding the BotS system that already exists.

Also, what that author should have said was, ...have to raise babies by yourself or settle for a Beta or even Gamma male because no Alpha will want to.commit to you.
