Excerpt from The Manipulated Man

[Modern Day WarriorParticipant 499]

I recently re-read The Manipulated Man, and thought I’d share a paragraph for the benefit of those who haven’t yet read this fine book. Keep in mind this was written in 1971…by a woman no less:

“If a young man gets married, starts a family and spends the rest of his life working at a soul-destroying job, he is held up as an example of virtue and responsibility. The other type of man, living only for himself, doing first one thing and then another simply because he enjoys it and because he has to keep only himself, sleeping where and when he wants, and facing woman when he meets her on equal terms and not as one of a million slaves, is rejected by society. The free, unshackled man has no place in its midst.”

Sounds very familiar to me. Free, unshackled men are being censored on YouTube, for example. In ’71, Esther Villar, the Author, was vilified for writing this book. So while “MGTOW” is being viewed as a new thing by the uninformed, we all know this isn’t the case. It’s just that we have better comms now, and so more and more men are escaping their shackles.

I highly recommend this book, if for no other reason than the entertaining and accurate portrayal of female nature.

Yes, it’s very good. The author is such a female anomaly I sometimes wonder if it’s a genetic mutation.

Ayn Rand being another example.

There are some mental and developmental disorders like Asperger’s which, although typically far more common among men, have the effect of making women much more logical and less emotional. These women are in the unique position of understanding the female mindset firsthand without being entirely controlled by it.

Grue, is that PDF you shared the complete text of the book?

Women are better at multitasking? Fucking up several things at once is not multitasking.

That would explain it. Some guys will reject anything any woman has to say, ever, but women are in a position to understand women’s thinking. Of course, that doesn’t mean they’ll communicate about it honestly with men, like the Author does here. It reads like she’s taken a truth serum or something, or simply agreed to say what’s really going on. Logic, honesty, and intellect all at once in a woman is extremely rare, which is why this book stands out over 40 years later.
