ROAD TO THE MANOSPHERE The chain of events from early childhood to my late 30s.
MY ROAD TO THE MANOSPHERE - PART 2 - BOTTOM OF THE HIERARCHY
Teachers 'give higher marks to girls' - BBC News
Every teacher I had at primary school was female and so were the majority of the ones at secondary school. As early as the age of 6 I noticed how some in the class could misbehave but got dealt with more harshly than others for the same offence. Shout at / humiliate a girl in front of the class and she's more likely to break down and cry than a boy so the teachers are more reluctant to do it. When even a left leaning organization like the BBC admits this you know there's a problem.
Likewise there was the same issues outside of the classroom, especially when it came to violence in the school playground. Officially all violence was unacceptable to the point where literally years of non violent abuse (name calling, spreading rumours , or even inciting others to physical violence) would never be treated as seriously as the smallest physical contact.
2 boys or 2 girls are fighting with no clear indicator of who landed the landed the first punch: Both are dealt with equally fair enough
2 are fighting and teacher knows who landed first punch : Hitting back is not acceptable and is dealt with nearly as severally as the person who thrown the first punch. In other words your not allowed to defend yourself in most cases.
While this was bad enough, when it came to violence between boys and girls the double standards couldn't have been more obvious.
A boy hitting a girl would be treated more seriously than....
A bigger, older boy hitting a smaller weaker boy.
A group of boys hitting a single boy. Or a group of girls hitting a single girl, if the attackers in this video were male the consequences would have been a lot more severe.
Even the mere accusation of violence is treated differently, a girl reporting violence by a boy he is assumed guilty until proven innocent where as a boy reporting violence by a girl will often just be laughed at.
Not only does Female on male violence, get treated differently by authorities but also with bystanders. Males will get harassed by White Knights and socially shamed afterwards even when the women has thrown the first punch. Men are always in the wrong by default.
The Myth of Never Hitting a Woman – Return Of Kings
This goes through all levels of society from the school playground to nightclubs to the law of the land.
The above also applies to "hate crime" where racist and homophobic abuse is treated far more seriously than non racist and non homophobic abuse.
In short, if you are a non religious, straight, white, male you are bottom of the hierarchy.
MY ROAD TO THE MANOSPHERE - PART 1 - BULLYING
I grew up with strict parents and was taught to respect authority without question. I was the type of child who did everything "by the book" 99% of the time. Sometime this worked but a lot of time it didn't.
The first major problem I encountered in life was being bullied at school ranging from name calling to social exclusion to actual physical violence. Typically I asked parents and teachers for advice and got answers like.
*Just ignore them.*Just keep away from them.*Don't ever retaliate. *Just stick up for yourself.*Nobody will hurt you on the school bus as there are too many witnesses.
I was often given advice by parents growing up that was probably good back in the 1950s but made absolutely no sense a generation later. They operated under the assumption that the teachers at the school were as strict as they were back in "their day" which they certainly weren't.
None of the "advice" I was given actually worked. How do you "just ignore" someone in a tight knit village school. How do you "just stick up for yourself" without actually fighting back.
For every incident where a bully ended up in detention there were 20 that he got away with. When I eventually hit back I would often end up in more trouble than the bully ever got into. Even after months and years of reporting the exact same problems I'd keep getting the exact same responses. It was like trying to have a conversation with an automated voice recording instead of a human being.
I'd even say to the teachers point blank "You have been saying that for years, it doesn't work". I just watch them stutter and mumble something about the bullies "will be in big trouble one day". It was like dividing a number by 0 on a calculator and getting an error message. Since then I have seen countless futile actions like wearing anti bullying wristbands or writing anti bulling poetry.
I was never encouraged to do anything that would have actually worked like joining martial arts classes or taking part in afterschool sports groups. Things that would have vastly improved my self confidence and expanded my social circle.
My parents only cared about academic performance, getting bullied was only a minor issue to them. Likewise every (all female) primary school teacher said that it didn't matter if I wasn't good at sport.
Eventually I got so sick of this that I rebelled which did actually work but at the expense of my academic performance.
MOST PEOPLE FAILED IN CORONA VIRUS LOCKDOWN
Imagine being thrown into prison, you could try and escape which would lead to more problems. You could also explore legal avenues like appealing but for now you are locked up.
Ultimately you have 2 options.
1) Spent the duration of your time moaning and complaining about your situation, it's not fair, in other countries I'd be in open prison / get half this sentence etc.
2) Accept and make the most of your situation. Do exercises in your cell, get fit and strong, make full use of the prison gym. Read as many useful books as possible from the prison library. Identify and befriend other inmates who could benefit you in future. Plan what you are going to when you get out.
This is the situation with corona virus lockdown and most people chose option 1
* The conspiracy theorists, peddling their constantly changing theories and fake cures. All of a sudden Dave the scratch card addict who failed his high school mathematics and science watches a few error ridden videos and thinks he knows more about virology and statistics than all the worlds experts.
* All the people who promised to boycott products from China, big companies who treated their employees badly and those corner shops who tried to rip us all off. Only to quietly forget about this a few months later.
* The parents whos children fell behind with their education. Despite being free of the insanity's of the modern day school system and having the biggest library of information at their fingertips in human history.
* The people who complained about struggling financially and demanding more government help who were queuing outside Starbucks to pay 10-20 times more for something they could make at home.
One of my passions in life is travel which obviously I couldn't do or at the very least had to go through a ton of red tape like quarantining in hotels which I didn't want. The most common questions I was asked during lockdown were from people concerned about my wellbeing because I couldn't travel. The truth was it didn't bother me in the slightest, I accepted the situation as it was and made the most of it unlike most people.
“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.”
The problem with todays society is that people have it so easy they cannot deal with even the most minor inconvenience. Some of the things I would have had to deal with a couple of generations ago would include.
National service, required by law against my will, which would obviously have included having to fight in wars.
Working long hours in often dangerous conditions such as coal mining.
Being highly pressured by society to get married at a young age and spend your life as a wage slave.
Being highly pressured by society to attend church every weekend and give them a chunk of your hard earned money.
Lacking all the benefits of modern life such as internet, international travel etc.
Quiet frankly if you think that mask wearing, social distancing, pubs being closed and the like is a thread to your freedom then you need a serious reality check.
I massively improved myself during lockdown which included.
Home workouts using the highly recommended convict conditioning program. I went from only being able to do 3 push ups to over 20.
Broke my 5K running record by 20 seconds which stood for over 6 years, it's now 19:20 and I'm in my early 40s.
Cut my alcohol intake by at least 70%, since the pubs reopened I discovered I have lost my previous "taste" for alcohol and only have a couple of social drinks at a time.
Cut my junk food intake, previously I was a sucker for chocolate bars from the vending machine at work. With cashless transactions being the norm I ran out of coins and haven't used it for 8 months.
Invested the money I saved, while some people were moaning about "big pharma" I was buying up shares in their companies. My only regret was not buying bitcoin in March but I still made more money from my investments than any other year in my life.
Using meet up and similar social sites, during the months between lockdown 1 and 2. I went on multiple outdoor events and expanded my social life. Intending to put a gap between myself and friends who do little or nothing beyond drinking themselves into a coma every weekend.
Using the downtime to plan out my life after lockdown.
In short, without corona virus and the subsequent lockdowns and social disruption I wouldn't be the person I am today.
Western society is going down the toilet, I don't mean that in a mad max, apocalyptic, end of the world way but a slow decline as the above video explains.
Things are going to get worse, people are getting more desperate, more irrational, more politicly divided etc. If you can't deal with the current events then you have little or no chance of dealing with that.
This includes large sections of the manosphere who call themselves "red pilled". Even some of the most respected people like rational male were posting anti vaccine garbage. The manosphere turned mostly into a shit show instead of helping each other get through the situation. Celeb Jones was one of the exceptions with his how to succeed during corona virus lessons.
