Insert iconic @CovfefeAnon tweet

Women hate Hatchet because reading it requires putting themselves in the mind of a man who needs to calmly and repeatedly solve problems all while not talking to anyone

[Luke Winkie @luke_winkie]

The first novel I ever loved was the survival classic Hatchet, but recently I’ve learned that a *lot* of women despise this book, and see it is as something they were forced to read in school to entice the idiot illiterate boys in their English class. I dove into that tension!

Cold approach this, cold approach that

Most of these idiots couldn’t succeed with a *warm approach* let alone a cold approach

@lizisamused The only good portrayal of a dominant woman is Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins

@Trust_Lion_ There’s a comic bit in Gone With the Wind (the novel not the film) where the Northern whites who move to the South after the war are horrified by slavery, but they’re even more horrified when they ask Scarlett to recommend a nanny and she recommends a black woman

@zapatas_mom One of the things that makes your account interesting, as well as annoying, is that there are all these contradictions between what women say and do (hence “the Red Pill.”) — but you just tweet stuff straight out of the female id

[Thornmallow @derridative]

@zapatas_mom Even just admitting that stuff silently to yourself has psychic costs. So women maintain polite fictions even to themselves

[Thornmallow @derridative]

@zapatas_mom Women who are too frank about these things, with others and with themselves, have lost a part of their femininity. Women “lie” because they don’t want to be mean.

A world where women are all honest and open about this stuff is a monkey’s paw situation

@Ruesavatar Good luck

You’re gonna need it

@dipikajaikishan This is called the “Shut the Fuck Up principle”

[Thornmallow @derridative]

@zapatas_mom I agree with you that men would be less shocked and confused about what they need to do if they had a lower opinion of women

[Thornmallow @derridative]

@zapatas_mom Women were always doing this. Broadcasting this information to the world does not harm men, beyond shocking and irritating them. In the long run the gender it hurts is women

@justalexoki Back in the day a medical researcher came to talk to my college bio class about HIV and another student asked why it’s so prevalent in the gay community. The guy said, well first, greater promiscuity is a factor, and second, “anal sex does involve a certain amount of tearing”

[Thornmallow @derridative]

@zapatas_mom I’ll return the favor:

Men want to marry women that they cherish. A man’s ability to cherish a woman comes from the feeling that her sexuality belongs to him.

[Thornmallow @derridative]

Fundamentally there are only two types of people: those who can keep things on the down-low and those who can’t

[Thornmallow @derridative]

@zapatas_mom Here’s a nice compromise: the woman can sleep around with other men before she gets commitment from the man she’s withholding sex from, and then the man can sleep around with other women after they get married

[Thornmallow @derridative]

@zapatas_mom The male obsession with this issue is not that a nice girl might get taken advantage of and then be more careful in the future. It’s that a girl might “have her fun” when she’s young before settling for a man she’s not attracted to and plans to use as a sexless ATM

[Thornmallow @derridative]

@zapatas_mom No, I am agreeing with you

[Thornmallow @derridative]

@zapatas_mom The situation you’ve described is common, and it is not the one that men worry about when they are experiencing what you’ve called “cuck anxiety”
