What do you make of this moron?
He claims to be a PUA race realist but maintains he’s an anti racist feminist who hates the GOP.
Is he a parody? Or is this twat for real?
More people who don’t get me.
A race realist can certainly be a nonracist or an antiracist. In fact, that is one contradiction I was trying to end with Liberal Race Realism. Race realism simply says that race is real. One can believe that race is real without being a racist and hating other races. The fact that 99% of race realists are racist scumbags is unfortunate, but it doesn’t have to be that way. That race realist has come to = racist is sad, and it plays into the hands of the antiracist nuts who say the same thing – that all race realists are vicious Nazis.
One can certainly be a PUA/Game, MRA/Manosphere type and still be a feminist. A person like this would probably be an equity feminist as opposed to a gender feminist, since gender feminism is opposed to everything the Manosphere and MRA movement is all about.
I come out of a Left movement called Men’s Liberation. This was a movement that started in the 1970′s in tandem with the Women’s Liberation movement which later molted into feminism. The Women’s Lib and Men’s Lib movements used to work together quite a bit, but fractures were already beginning early on. Warren Farrel also came out of this movement, and this MRA hero continues to identify as a feminist.
The Men’s Lib movement got a little nutty, of course, as all such movements do – there was always a homosexual trend in the movement, and some fools were ranting about how a true Men’s Libber had to get over his inhibitions about loving and getting close to other men – in other words, you were not a truly liberated male until you got over your inhibitions about homosexuality and started screwing guys. Crazy.
The movement pretty much petered out at the end of the 1970′s.
I see no contradiction whatsoever in MRA/Manosphere types being Equity Feminists. That nearly the entire movement has been taken over the worst misogynists – reactionaries – idiots, who of course hold feminism as the greatest evil of all, is sad but to be expected.
Face it, the liberation of women was one of the great liberation movements of the 20th Century. It is one of the progressive movements greatest achievements. The fact that feminism has gone too far, beyond actual liberation and into simple puritanism, misandry, matriarchy and women waging war on men is sad but it doesn’t have to be that way. Most sane women want equal rights and all decent men should support them in that goal.
Similarly, most PUA/Game types going back a ways were always feminists. After all, players truly love women. And playboys have been liberals, progressives or even socialists for a very long time now. In the 1970′s, it was automatically assumed that a playboy was a liberal. Playboy and Penthouse Magazines were liberal publications. The porn industry is full of liberal to leftwing types.
This modern thing of player as ultra-reactionary, feminist hater, white racist is a whole new ballgame. I do not know what to make of it, but it was not always that way I assure you.
Yep, I hate the GOP. Why must all MRA/Manosphere types be reactionaries? I don’t get it. If you are a man, you should be for men. If you are for men, why must you be a reactionary kook? Why can’t progressive men be for men too? The Men’s Liberation movement was made up of progressive men who were for the men. It’s not a contradiction.
Why must all race realists be Republicans? What have the Republicans done for you lately, White boy? Are they keeping the niggers down well enough for you, cracker? It’s never made sense that White racists vote GOP and the Republicans never do the slightest damn thing for White people. Sure they sock it to Blacks, but how does that help you as a White man?
And the modern notion that all playboys are Republicans or worse, ultra-reactionaries, is simply bizarre. Historically, it doesn’t make a lot of sense. Casanova was a progressive fellow. So was Rasputin. And Ted Kennedy. Not to mention Bill Clinton.
