    Naw, just a fellow traveller through the same space and time with an insatiable appetite for awareness – time for me to pass out, er, sleep  … 🙂

    ———————————————

    Rarely has an advertising image been hailed as a pop culture icon. In that rarified company of Marlboro Man and Benetto Pieta belongs this 1978 photograph by Steven Steigman, which would later be known as the Blown-away Man. The ad for Hitachi Maxell, the Japanese manufacture of stereos has since been parodied from Family Guy to P.Diddy, and to this day, has been recycled and reused by Maxell is its ad campaigns.

    The ads showed hair and tie of a man sitting in a Le Corbusier chair — along with the lampshade and martini glass next to him — being blown back by the tremendous sound from speakers in front of him. Who actually modeled for the ad is unclear. Steigman wanted a model with long hair (for obvious reasons), but when a model could not easily be found, Steigman used a makeup man working for his ad agency Scali, McCabe, Sloves. The model is identified only as Jack. To achieve the wind-blown position, Steigman put tonnes of hairspay on the model’s hair, and tied some hair strands to the ceiling with fishing lines. The lampshade, tie and martini glass were also likewise tied to fishing lines.

    The photo was instantaneously a hit, a powerful statement that music has power and force to move the mind and the soul. It was so popular that it was expended into a TV ad campaign. In the television versions, either Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries or Mussorgsky’s Night on Bald Mountain was the music responsible for those powerful waves.

    I’ve always assumed they used a wind machine.  I learn something new here every day.

    Well, that situation with Dayrep is unfortunate.

    I have to admit that although I did my research on youtube (Sandman, John The Other, Spetnatz, Thinking Ape (Stardusk), Feminism LOL, Karen Straughan, the Honey Badgers, among other sources) I am still somewhat new to the Mgtow path (although I’ve been on this path for a long time, without knowing), men’s rights and female nature.

    If I may return to the subject of Sandman’s videos, I saw this last one and, to be honest, Im having the impression that Sandman is starting to plead in favor of Traditionalism, and that is disturbing. I don’t watch his videos anymore because 1 video a day everyday from him burned me out a little bit. However, on the last videos I did watch he seems to be pleading for men to “think about the women”, on how “lack of children is hard on them”, and so forth (he didn’t use these words, but that’s what I took from it) and I am here thinking: that’s all good and dandy, but what about the FATHERS? What about the MEN? Should we go back and break our backs working, while women stay at home with little to no work, spending our money while we miss our children grow up? And now with this last video I am starting to question Sandman’s intentions. I have nothing against him asking for donation and “marketing” Mgtow, but I believe he should be more careful with the message he is putting out there.

    My 2 cents.

    Cheers

    I don’t follow his videos, but I suspect two things are happening here.  First if he really is putting out a video a day, he may simply be running out of ideas and scraping the bottom of the barrel, saying anything no matter how insipid just to get a video out every 24 hours.  Secondly, he does these videos for donations, so he may be bowdlerizing his message to appease his donors.  I don’t think a lot of actual MGTOW donate to him, but I suspect a lot of pre-MGTOW might who are uncomfortable with some of the stark realities of the world.  Or he’s just trying to broaden his potential customer base at the expense of his integrity.  I understand there are some deep pockets over in the traditionalist and appeasement camps of the MRA.

    It occurred to me that Apollo might be a little dated, so here’s something a little more recent.

    It’s not that there is “no men left”. That’s not the problem. The non-existence of masculine men is not the problem either. The PROBLEM is in the question. Its an incomplete sentence and it’s a MGTOW’s repsonsibility to identify that red flag and call it out.

    Most women these days, and feminists in particular, couldn’t recognize a Real Man if he landed a probe on a goddamn comet.

    But they would bitch and whine about his shirt.

    Concerning Sandman: With respect to only myself, up until about a week ago I would listen to each daily video but simply lost interest in a lot of his topics, like the one about high heels. The reason being that for me it’s irrelevant since I have no plans as a MGTOW level 3 to have a relationship with a woman again, so understanding that kind of minutiae is not useful to me and I’ve already covered the main issues I felt I needed to. I also think he’s running out of new things to say so he’s drilling down. I will still listen to any that he may make on current events in the manosphere, except for these aggravating p~~~ fights between fellow MGTOWs, but that’s it. He’s a good introduction to MGTOW and he’s never claimed to be an expert, either.

    For more serious and fleshed out ideas I seek out Spetsnaz, Barbarossa and Stardusk, but as usual if the topic does nothing for me I’ll move on to the next. There’s room for every level of MGTOW video and everyone can make their own choices about who and what they will listen to.

    The following pic kind of makes me think of Stardusk’s recent aggravation with Sandman’s videos 🙂

    Hey KeyMaster, I f~~~ed up, I gave Dayrep a thumb’s up, can you remove it?

    P.S.

    Most women these days, and feminists in particular, couldn’t recognize a Real Man if he landed a probe on a goddamn comet.

    You could shove a feminist up the ass of Paul Bunion and she still wouldn’t see a man! They’re f~~~ing stupid! My chickens have more awareness!

    Hey Key Master, something to conciser, post markers, I’ve been going back on my reads and using the blue thumbs as markers.

    Sorry for the long post. If you just look at the graphs you’ll get the idea. I’m a doc and scientist so I love these academic research projects.

    Certainly the definition of “traditional masculinity” as a word has changed dramatically since the 80’s. As someone born in the early 1960’s I watched it change. Used to be working hard, taking care of your family and doing the right thing was what made a man manly. Men didn’t leave the relationship market, they were kicked out. Like I said above, the constant changing from the point of view of feminists is just to keep the slaves on their feet.

    But, and this is something I’ve really been trying to address and I suppose this is as good a time as any.

    I will never return to the past. Any past. They all sucked for men in my opinion. Men have always been seen as slaves and cannon fodder. Like I said in a previous post, the worst thing I can think of happening to me is to still be married to either of my ex’s. Marriage is and was always a bad deal for men.

    It’s just that now, women have elected to have the most man hating group of women to lead them, lesbians, and these women don’t care about what the average woman is trying to snatch with their snatch in marriage and eventual divorce.

    That is where the friction in feminism is coming from. It certainly isn’t coming from the MGTOW movement or the men’s movement. These are curious little side shows to our fem-masters.

    The fight was between married women and single women with the rate of single women skyrocketing as a result. The single women have won and that’s why women have turned against marriage and toward having women support themselves through college, careers and eschewing of motherhood.

    Here are some figures that are never put together in the regular press because the picture they paint is so stark and obvious that if you put them side to side, the trends are unmistakable.

    Lesbian leadership of the women’s labor union plan:

    divorce rate

    With divorce up women were fed the propaganda that they “didn’t need a man for anything”. A sentiment still alive in nearly every woman today to such an extent that even lesbian feminist leaders are saying that #HEforShe is a step backward for the women’s movement who ten years before boasted that men were now irrelevant in society and they Y chromosome will cease to exist in like 10 years and men will become extinct.

    From 2010, an article that caused a major uproar in the men’s rights community”

    The End of Men, by Hanna Rosen (now famous because of this article)

    HANNA ROSINJUN 8 2010, 9:00 AM ET

    We’ve all heard about the collegiate gender gap. But the implications of that gap have not yet been fully digested. Women now earn 60 percent of master’s degrees, about half of all law and medical degrees, and 42 percent of all M.B.A.s. Most important, women earn almost 60 percent of all bachelor’s degrees—the minimum requirement, in most cases, for an affluent life. In a stark reversal since the 1970s, men are now more likely than women to hold only a high-school diploma. “One would think that if men were acting in a rational way, they would be getting the education they need to get along out there,” says Tom Mortenson, a senior scholar at the Pell Institute for the Study of Opportunity in Higher Education. “But they are just failing to adapt.”

    As the traditional order has been upended, signs of the profound disruption have popped up in odd places. Japan is in a national panic over the rise of the “herbivores,” the cohort of young men who are rejecting the hard-drinking salaryman life of their fathers and are instead gardening, organizing dessert parties, acting cartoonishly feminine, and declining to have sex. The generational young-women counterparts are known in Japan as the “carnivores,” or sometimes the “hunters.”

    Whether boys have changed or not, we are well past the time to start trying some experiments. It is fabulous to see girls and young women poised for success in the coming years. But allowing generations of boys to grow up feeling rootless and obsolete is not a recipe for a peaceful future. Men have few natural support groups and little access to social welfare; the men’s-rights groups that do exist in the U.S. are taking on an angry, antiwoman edge. Marriages fall apart or never happen at all, and children are raised with no fathers. Far from being celebrated, women’s rising power is perceived as a threat.

    Clearly this femi-fascist doesn’t know the first thing about men and never asked a man. Most men I know are very happy their wife works and brings home some of the bacon. I don’t know one married man who resents his wife working.

    Should we mgtow care. I care. I want as many women getting up off their lard asses and paying taxes. A female tax so men could take time off from being “real men” and say FU to women, MGTOW style.

    The terms of marriage have changed radically since 1970. Typically, women’s income has been the main factor in determining whether a family moves up the class ladder or stays stagnant. And increasing numbers of women—unable to find men with a similar income and education—are forgoing marriage altogether. In 1970, 84 percent of women ages 30 to 44 were married; now 60 percent are. In 2007, among American women without a high-school diploma, 43 percent were married. And yet, for all the hand-wringing over the lonely spinster, the real loser in society—the only one to have made just slight financial gains since the 1970s—is the single man, whether poor or rich, college-educated or not. Hens rejoice; it’s the bachelor party that’s over.

    Now you see that even feminists admit that MGTOW is a net huge win for men. Married men are failing and single men are the only ones doing great. We are the luckiest ones. We should rejoice. Having tried both, married twice I know I do.

    The sociologist Kathryn Edin spent five years talking with low-income mothers in the inner suburbs of Philadelphia. Many of these neighborhoods, she found, had turned into matriarchies, with women making all the decisions and dictating what the men should and should not do. “I think something feminists have missed,” Edin told me, “is how much power women have” when they’re not bound by marriage. The women, she explained, “make every important decision”—whether to have a baby, how to raise it, where to live. “It’s definitely ‘my way or the highway,’” she said. “Thirty years ago, cultural norms were such that the fathers might have said, ‘Great, catch me if you can.’ Now they are desperate to father, but they are pessimistic about whether they can meet her expectations.” The women don’t want them as husbands, and they have no steady income to provide. So what do they have?

    “Nothing,” Edin says. “They have nothing. The men were just annihilated in the recession of the ’90s, and things never got better. Now it’s just awful.”

    The situation today is not, as Edin likes to say, a “feminist nirvana.” The phenomenon of children being born to unmarried parents “has spread to barrios and trailer parks and rural areas and small towns,” Edin says, and it is creeping up the class ladder. After staying steady for a while, the portion of American children born to unmarried parents jumped to 40 percent in the past few years. Many of their mothers are struggling financially;

    Proving feminists know and always knew that feminism is there to benefit upper middle class and high class women. The vast majority of women are suffering but are still faithful to the sisterhood and hating men more than ever. Most women are morons.

    But men are adapting, we’re just not adapting in a way to serve women. As a matter of fact we are learning not to give a f~~~ about people that hate us and want to ruin our lives and who’s only interest in us is as slaves. Men are not as stupid as their female constituents. We took the red pill.

    They even address MGTOW and know that that is the most successful route for men, much to their dismay.

    As the traditional order has been upended, signs of the profound disruption have popped up in odd places. Japan is in a national panic over the rise of the “herbivores,” the cohort of young men who are rejecting the hard-drinking salaryman life of their fathers and are instead gardening, organizing dessert parties, acting cartoonishly feminine, and declining to have sex. The generational young-women counterparts are known in Japan as the “carnivores,” or sometimes the “hunters.”

    In fact, the more women dominate, the more they behave, fittingly, like the dominant sex. Rates of violence committed by middle-aged women have skyrocketed since the 1980s, and no one knows why. High-profile female killers have been showing up regularly in the news: Amy Bishop, the homicidal Alabama professor; Jihad Jane and her sidekick, Jihad Jamie; the latest generation of Black Widows, responsible for suicide bombings in Russia. In Roman Polanski’s The Ghost Writer, the traditional political wife is rewritten as a cold-blooded killer at the heart of an evil conspiracy. In her recent video Telephone, Lady Gaga, with her infallible radar for the cultural edge, rewrites Thelma and Louise as a story not about elusive female empowerment but about sheer, ruthless power. Instead of killing themselves, she and her girlfriend (played by Beyoncé) kill a bad boyfriend and random others in a homicidal spree and then escape in their yellow pickup truck, Gaga bragging, “We did it, Honey B.”

    So young women were taught and bought into the idea that men were an impediment to happiness and why not be like “Murphy Brown” and be a single mom.
    This lead to our current disaster with the rise of the single mom:

    pic

    and here is the disaster. Single mom’s can’t take care of themselves no matter what the propaganda says. With feminists fighting to get their upper middle class daughters into advanced differential equation courses by painting the walls pink and making it a hostile environment for young men, the vast majority of women are suffering terribly under feminism.

    Poverty rate for single women mothers vs married mothers:

    pic

    Men watching this, with feminists doing all their planning in secret, knowing that any participation in this planning by men would surely stop it as it is insane. Now men are faced with the new reality. They are trained they are redundant and society has no use for them so they went their own way.

    Mens employment rates:

    pic

    Now men are becoming the leisure class, money doesn’t buy happiness.pic

    They no longer have any faith in a relationship working out. They watched their parents, parents friends and hollywood propaganda and, as was the plan of the lesbians, they now have absolutely no use for men other than to bring in money and lift the occasional heavy thing, provide quality sperm and pay handsomely to see that sperm become a human that hates it’s father…even though they resent the fact that you, their partner, have greater upper body strength than them (it’s a wonder the feminists haven’t made cutting off of the hands the punishment for DV like in arab countries thieves get their hands cut off…wait, I shouldn’t give them any ideas.

    I think Dayrep has a lot of internal conflict on what direction he needs to take. Good luck bro and I hope you eventually make the right choice for yourself. Using a disposable email address though, tssk, tssk, tssk…..

    Feminism did no such thing. It destroyed FEMALE identity

    It did totally destroy female identity. All I hear is now how men should be killed, castrated or tormented as we are not worthy of anything. They act like a bunch of spoiled children on a witch hunt. They all bleat about this great burden they have to carry and this supposed patriarchy. The only thing I see in this patriarchy are deluded blue pillers and manginas bowing before your narcissistic nonsense. Even these are declining in number such is your ever increasing madness.

    Well, guess what bitches everyone has to carry a burden so suck it up and get over it. Women from 50 to 100 years ago would be disgusted by you. I am disgusted by you. The ever growing legions of MGTOWs are disgusted by you. You are not worthy of a man.

    @Key: I pulled that quote from your text and not Dayrep’s I even searched this page for that text string, and it did not show up under Dayrep’s posting.

    Apology not accepted! Thank-you for your long post!
    Hey Puff, you just spelled out the entire misery index for women, I’m having a GREAT LIFE since I disposed of that which has disposed of me. Double toss! Except the hot potato is now in their lap, let it burn each and every one of them! They deserve the destruction!

    Yeah, second that.

    When I read the post, I was under the impression that he meant that men are getting dumber and weaker.  I would have to agree to this.  However, maybe he meant that.  Maybe he didn’t.  Either way he did not explain it clear enough.

    Used to be working hard, taking care of your family and doing the right thing was what made a man manly.

    That’s certainly been the feminine definition of masculinity, but it’s never, ever been the real definition.  Would Nick Tesla have been such a badass Real Man if he’d gone to some workaday nine to five job handing over his paycheck every week for the sole benefit of some woman?  Would humanity be better off thereby?

    Even women back in the 60s, 70s, 80s knew that feminine definition of masculinity was a complete lie.  Just look at the media of the time.  Even back in the day Steve McQueen dampened more panties than Fred MacMurray.

    The single women have won and that’s why women have turned against marriage and toward having women support themselves through college, careers and eschewing of motherhood.

    There’s another feminine lie.  They say they are supporting themselves, but are they really?  It seems to me they are being supported by creditors through massive college debt, by preferential hiring quotas, by support payments from trapped (not actually your) baby daddies, and by an ever burgeoning unsustainable welfare state.  Western nations would not be trillions upon trillions in debt if women actually were supporting themselves.

    “And increasing numbers of women—unable to find men with a similar income and education—are forgoing marriage altogether.”

    Note how she tries to imply that those women intentionally choose to forgo marriage and that they are happy with it.  They aren’t.  Even to a modern woman spinsterhood is seen as a failure, and for good reason, because women only stand to gain from marriage.

    Men, on the other hand, being the ones with everything to lose in a marriage, see bachelorhood more ambivalently, ranging from indifferent acceptance to relief.

    They even address MGTOW and know that that is the most successful route for men, much to their dismay.

    But only in a way that both drips shallow shaming attempts and also demonstrates their complete failure to comprehend MGTOW, herbivore men, and masculinity.  “Cartoonishly feminine”?  Bitch please.

    Now men are faced with the new reality. They are trained they are redundant and society has no use for them so they went their own way.

    And therein lies the trap of feminism, because while women crow and gloat about how “successful” they have been over men in “the workplace”, they haven’t bothered to take a good look at what that workplace actually is.  Yes, women have taken on more office jobs and cushy support positions, and high paying ones too, but the jobs that do the actual work,  the jobs that create the wealth, the jobs that support the society, are all done by men.  Men who are going their own way.  Have you ever seen a company that actually needed and depended on its Human Resources Department more than the actual employees (the so-called “human resources” themselves)?  A company can go without a Human Resources Department, but it cannot do without workers.

    The end result of feminism is a bunch of smug women in high paying but unproductive window dressing positions starving to death in their corner offices because for all their high income, no man has grown any food for them to buy.  Meanwhile the “redundant” men have all gone fishing, and had a nice lunch of lake trout.
