@shortmagsmle The living-in-huts people need to find a living-in-huts country and go ahead and live there
so the sending-rockets-into-space people can cook.
Empathy is fake and gay.
It's much MUCH more important for each sex to be socialized to identify with the PARAGONS of their sex.
Boys imitating knights and explorers and benevolent fathers.
Girls imitating princesses and pioneers and nurturing mothers.
And everyone hating evil.
It’s MUCH more important for boys to be socialized to identify/empathize with female POVs (something society has always failed with dire consequences for women) than for boys to develop a love of reading. If there are growing pains with this social endeavor that’s fine.
"The idea that people think boys CAN’T empathize with women (or read their writing) is actually a reason to encourage them to read more literature by and about women."
Reading fiction teaches children empathy. The idea that people think boys CAN’T empathize with women (or read their writing) is actually a reason to encourage them to read more literature by and about women.
Boys do not need to be socialized. They do not need to be taught the “right way” to read or the “right POVs” to enjoy. They do not need lectures or preaching. They do not need “the message.”
Boys need dragons to slay and princesses to save (and ones who want to be saved, natch). Boys need danger. They need risks and stakes. They need to know what death is and what it means. They need to know what failure looks like so they know how to cope with it when Real Life comes calling. Most of all, they need stories that allow them to be who and what they are without being told why they should be something else.
Boys are not broken girls; they should not be treated as such.
If you REALLY care about getting boys to read again, pay attention to the stories being shared in other media that they like, and emulate those.
Make no mistake: this viewpoint is evil. It deserves no less than to be called out as such.
@theRWMillennial The swamp witches, jealous stepsisters, and wicked stepmothers
are about to outnumber the Cinderallas 10,000 to 1.
We must consciously protect our Cinderellas, whether they be our wives, sisters, or daughters.
"Noticeably she frames it as she has these as sexual options rather than commitment options. Women love to pretend this sneaks in as implying they have value, but they of course know it doesn't land for them. That'd be like a guy bragging he takes tons of girls on dates — Ok but did you hit though? Women increasingly resort to this cope almost as a LARP as men per Penis Envy, and although it does indeed mean "value" in some way, it's more like it only means linear "value" that is you're not abjectly and categorically unattractive."
@MarcheseMethods absolutely vaporizing foid-cope with his writing again. A point I would add and have been thinking about since this Femcel 5000 crashout started.
I have a feeling we are about to live through an epidemic of similar crashouts. Jessica is not alone in being a 40+ year old woman having to compete in a dating market that increasingly does not favor her.
All of this can be avoided, but it requires old school maturity, foresight, and a lifestyle of delayed gratification. Jessica is a cautionary tale, but women do not have to end up like her if they can get over their FemininIslam™️ beliefs, their girlbossing alcoholism, and their Id slavery. Hard to so in this day and age and will require a willing deference to masculine leadership.
@SigNSour and I am not an objectivist,
but I'm going to enjoy playing the "NOT LIKE THAT!" game with libtards who pretend they care about 'female authors'
