I am not sure if any of you have heard of the color run but it is a worldwide event run that promotes healthiness and happiness by bringing the community together (communities around the world)..this run prides itself on this healthiness and happiness (or so it would seem).

Needless to say that there were 1000s of girls in their overtight lululemon pants with starbucks all covered in color in my city to take part in this run.

And guess where they posted all of their cute outfits and happy, smiling groups…of course on facebook, because they are SO community oriented and really care about everyone’s “healthiness and happiness” which is what the run is supposed to be about.

So they story..I was out drinking with some of the boys the night before the color run (which I was not a part of), but did happen to be in the downtown area…the next morning, I was quite hungry of course after a night of partying, and decided to get an egg mcmuffin from mcdonalds.

At mcdonalds I noticed a homeless man, maybe in his 40s outside of the restaurant looking cold, disheveled, and hungry…Alas, I noticed not  ONE, NOT TWO, NOT THREE, NOT FOUR, BUT AT LEAST 8!!! groups of f~~~ing woman walk by this man almost tripping over him to get to the “color run”..that of course is for “happiness and healthiness” not for self-interest and pretending you f~~~ing give a s~~~ and should be rewarded on Facebook.

I watched this for 10 minutes or so..at which time I ordered a big breakfast meal and two sandwiches and some hash browns for this man, walked up and said “are you hungry?” he said “yes, very hungry sir”..and said here your go, (20 dollars of mcdonalds) and he thanked me, I told him to take care of himself…

A few days later, I saw endless streams of “happy” pictures of girls in their matching color run for “happiness and healthiness” all over Facebook, and 100s of people telling them how great they are for taking part in such a run…I never told anyone this story, nor did I post on Facebook that hey guess what…I saw half of you walked over another human being on the way to your self-promoting manipulation of an event, and not give two f~~~s about this man…I felt I needed to share this story about what these woman did (and continue to pretend to be)..It really made me feel real sad for how dishonest and self-interested society has become.

Even on 3rd world countries, like Brazil, where there is no escape towards poverty even for women, THEY STILL are better off then men. There was this video I saw, sometime ago, of a WOMAN bragging about the support she was receiving from the government (She didn’t know she was being recorded). By the end of the video, she boasted about maybe having a kid, because if she got pregnant she would receive 5,000 reais (around 2,500 US dollars on the cambio exchange at the time, where 1USD =  2 reais) for doing, you guessed, nothing.

Do you think the kid would benefit from this? Probably not, and on top of it, he would probably be sent to get a job instead of getting education in order to get more money for the mother (and I know cases where this actually happened).

So yeah, sad but true. And the saddest thing, I guess, is BECAUSE men are treated like that, is the reason why MEN are the ones keeping society together. WE were always the ones on the fringe of civilization, either in the past or nowadays. WE are the ones that take the risks when its necessary and WE are the ones that deal with the consequences when things don’t go as plan.

I think the tricky part here is this: how to keep MAN’s edge and show EMPATHY for those that can’t make it at the same time. I think that treating men like WOMEN would be a disservice to MAN. If I am not mistaken Keymaster and someone else (Doc maybe?) mentioned that a long time ago on some other thread and I actually got p~~~ed at them at the time, but I think I am finally getting what they meant. The solution, on my view, would be: treat WOMEN like MEN. Let them suffer the consequences of FAILURE and then see what happens. I bet that they will show a lot more sympathy for those homeless men when this start to happen. At the same time, offer those that couldn’t make it a chance for them to STAND UP on their own feet, but without carrying them INDEFINITELY as we are doing with WOMEN. This would create a class of MAN and WOMEN that would just live from the SYSTEM without ever doing the effort to get out. How to do this? I have no idea. I’m no politician or economist and I am just throwing my thoughts out there. Execution would be a whole other story.

Anyway, those are my thoughts. Its late and I need to sleep.

Cheers

It reminds me around Christmas time going to another city for a weekend with two women that I had went to graduate school with (one just broke up with her boyfriend of 3 years) who bought her a 500,000 home, which she was bragging about (you can imagine the discussions I had with them) but that is a story for another time. The point is that these girls were rich, taken care of by their daddy’s put through grad school, and I remember when I was disagreeing with them (they were talking about using men for trips), they said I should be nicer to them, I said I just don’t agree with using men etc. etc., I would always be there for you girls, in the worst situations (I was in the military etc.) and have been around and seen some things..these girls said “we don’t need you to be there in those situations, just be nice right now”..which I believe eludes to what partially you are saying..of course they don’t need me in bad situations..THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A BAD SITUATION…they don’t have any idea what it would be like to be in a combat zone, on the street, no money, not a nice warm bed.

Your comment just reminded me of the privilege that has become so naturalized to these women, that they truly cannot understand what it would be like, as you said, “because women have so many advantages in life”..both politically and legally, as well as being supported overall.

Indeed I agree, how would we every implement a system that allows for EQUAL checks and balances for men and woman, a “social safety net of equality”.. I would hope that one day..in the future..some men may look back and say “hey, mgtow as a movement or a realization really helped bring about a positive change for us men”..what a great day that would be for us all!

It was truly an eye-opening experience for me…thanks for your comment, I hope I got some of your meaning correct.

What goes around COMES around!

6 months ago, her life disintegrated to a low point where NOT ONE MEMBER of her family gave a s~~~ about her. Sisters, brothers, cousins, aunts, etc. My grandfather DISOWNED her before he passed away, saying he never wanted to see or hear from her again. When my mom got her FOURTH DIVORCE, it was only 6 months after she married the guy, and she didn’t get JACK S~~~ in the divorce settlement. She had to leave his house, turn in the keys to his car, and leave with just the clothes on her back. She vented on Facebook that she would definitely turn in the car…in a state of ruined s~~~ with busted windows, flat tires, punctured radiator, etc. to get back at him. But luckily, her fourth catch had a police officer with him when she was having to bring back the car so she couldn’t do s~~~.

And the woman who once detested and despised homeless people BECAME homeless herself. No place to stay, no one to turn to, and no one that even felt sorry for her even a LITTLE bit. She is now in prison for robbery, and for having warrants to her name from past court dates that she refused to show up for. And no one gives a s~~~.

Once she gets released from prison, I’m sure it’ll be straight back to some cardboard box in a dark alley for her somewhere.

Everytime I go to grocery store I buy a baguette of bread for the homeless in the metro station. I never give them money but I give food and clothes.

Good deed my friend, keep it up.

Whenever I had an interview, I could almost bet that if it was a woman who ran it, I wouldn’t get the job.  If it was a man, there was at least a slim chance that he might have known where I was coming from, as he may, perhaps, have gone through something like that himself at one time.

I remember being at one company where the woman from personnel looked at me and, with a certain sense of pride, said “I’ve never been unemployed!”  I guess she didn’t want to be caught calling me a loser, or layabout, or good-for-nothing, eh?

Thanks @mrme, I will continue to do what I can, with the limited money I have as well, and am glad to hear that you take care of those in need also..I think that Mgtow_85’s @quarterwavevertical’s stories summed @mrme up well, also we are kinder because we understand what it is like to have tough times, be unemployed, and have not been privileged, entitled, princesses our whole lives, willing to step on a man on the street without thinking twice about their hardships.

Thanks guys
