Lori Mattix claimed she slept with David Bowie before she got involved with Jimmy Page, which would have made her about 13. I don't know that anything about it is substantiated.

Trying to apply current standards to sexual practices in the 1970's is probably like comparing industrial age labor laws with employment rules now.

It's best to just acknowledge that most people you admire or like from that era never got the consent speech at college orientation.

13 years old in the 70s is still 13, dude. But there's no way to know if it actually happened, so people bringing it up on Facebook to try to deflate people sad about his death is still dumb.

To be fair, a billion is taken in some countries (such as in Europe) to be one million million which would make the math turn out to that. So maybe it's just a bunch of people in Europe getting super confused why our lotto is worth trillions of dollars.

I believe misogyny is the default mindset towards women if not for sexual desire. If women didn't have vaginas men would never bother and women would have died out as soon as they appeared.

This explains male feminists and manginas to a core. They only support women and feminism as a last ditch desperate mating strategy. It is these guys that actually kill women due to being rejects. Men who kill women worship women.

I am not a misogynist because of anything women have done to me (they have no power) or to protect myself from making a mistake, I hate women because of what they are not what they do as what they do is a symptom of what they are. I find their base nature absolutely pathetic and disgusting and contrary to the human spirit. I think they're the most pitiful creatures on earth. I want nothing to do with them.

I dislike the ingrained biological nature of women. The virtues I value most are things like decency, sincerity, and integrity, which are in short supply among women. They are, in accordance with their aforementioned nature, designed to lie, to deflect, and to deceive. Mix in their entitled nature and victim complex, and they're just nauseating beings that make my stomach turn.

If disliking women for what they are and everything they represent makes me a misogynist, then that's fine by me. I don't apologize for how I feel because it's rooted in experience and in second-hand knowledge. They suck- why shouldn't I hate them?

The question is not whether women are capable of fighting well and dying for their country. Women can do many military jobs as well as men. The question involves combat infantry positions. And the biggest concern is about women placed in elite special operator positions out of a politically correct desire for diversity.

Men and women are not exact equivalents, though I have learned over the years that some people actually believe that they are. They are different. That is simply fact. Chemically, psychologically, physically, different. This makes men in general better suited for some things, women better suited for other things, with a great deal of overlap. This is not prejudice or opinion. It is fact.

Aforgomon posted:

Poe's Law? Please tell me this is Poe's Law in action.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, to paraphrase Newton.

Men, as a rule, are strongly attracted to women. We have a sexually dimorphic medial preoptic nucleus that is almost twice as large on average, making men more susceptible to attraction (in addition to many other anatomical and physiological differences accounting for attraction). We are wired to want women, on average, and very strongly.

If men did not have this attraction, they would not actively court women.

The dominant narrative is that women invest more into mating, but in what sense? The size of gametes and length of gestation...? But is that really the majority of investment, and on what scale? Yes, on a scale of nine months women invest more, but what about the years preceding and following gestation?

Think about this; a man must compete preceding mating, and is subject to powerful societal retribution if he fails to live up to his mate during and after gestation (nine months vs 18 years... Now who invests more?). The case can be made that biology makes the pleasure and urgency of male attraction in direct proportion to the offset of the pain of attraction... Why the urgency, though? Why the mounting desire to gently caress until it overwhelms a man's mental faculties?

It is because, when you stop to think about the consequences of sex - it becomes a bad deal in the long term for men. The urgency of biological forces needs to overcome the long term bad quality of the deal in direct proportion to how much thought would dissuade a man from sex. If it weren't urgent, then you'd think better and not spread the genes of urgency. There is a balance to account for positives and negatives.

MGTOW, in rejecting women, require a push, so that we don't succumb to the gravity and inertia of attraction, to draw a metaphor. Misogyny serves many uses, but I view it as booster rockets to escape the traps of women.

Misogyny is the equal and opposite reaction to the mind-numbing love drug which ruins so many men like heroin can ruin men.

Just say no.

Often a man finds MGTOW after a painful experience, hitting rock bottom, and needs a time of convalescence to heal for whatever reason. The isolation from women is a means of recovery... After seeing idols smashed, and delusions torn down - rest is needed. The pain of waking up to a lifetime of lies is a lot to bear. Anger is part of the grieving process, and the death of childhood fairytales and expectations of morality - is grief-worthy.

In a sense, misogyny creates a "safe space".

Reminding ourselves that our attraction can cost us dearly, and making a hostile environment to, say, the feminist narrative, or the traditionalist narrative - gives us freedom to simply be... To do our own things and go our own ways.

I could be wrong. It's just a theory. Let me know what you think.

I also suspect this tiny bit of vulnerability will attract the trolls, but, meh. Thought out criticisms, however, are welcome and I'll discuss as best I can.

Pretty gross Snopes will tell you.

Yeah they really look like aliens. The most disingenuous parts of that figurine are the opaque skin and subcutaneous fat, which make the fetus look really baby-like and cute but aren't present on real fetuses until well after the point of viability. Like, I get that if you think abortion is murder you'd want people to stop having abortions but if you need to lie to people to get them to agree with you, maybe you should consider that your original position isn't really that strong?

The woman who makes the figurines based them on a 3D ultrasound image so basically just invented what she thought a 12-week fetus should look like.
