  1. … the argument I had with the guys on the pickup site illustrated my problem with feminism and men’s rights, by the way.

    The guys in that street video are disgusting. The way they treat that woman ranges from rude to frightening. Yet the guys on the pickup site – smart guys, thinking guys, guys whose views and advice I normally respect – felt compelled to defend the people with the same genitals as them. Feminists are on the attack, which means that they need to mount a defense. There was NO WAY they’d say, “yeah, you know what, those guys shouldn’t be doing that. The point goes to the feminists on this one.”

    Feminism has the same problem. There is almost no shitty female behavior that feminists won’t defend, apologize for, or blame on men and patriarchy.

    That’s why I just can’t get behind either movement. They’re interest groups. They’re each just interested in scoring a win for their side.

  2. I had a lengthy argument about this on a pickup website. Their stance was, “feminism continues to demonize male sexuality, and saying ‘hey beautiful’ isn’t harassment.” My stance was, “don’t defend these idiots. They’re bothering strangers on the street in ways ranging from douchey to scary.”

    … and I’m all for trying to get laid any time, anywhere. I’m not saying don’t try to pick women up in public. I’m saying, GENUINELY try to meet women in public. I’ve never, ever seen a woman respond to, “HEY BEAUTIFUL, WHERE YOU GOING, I’M TRYING TO TALK TO YOU!” Guys are doing that to stoke their own egos (to feel like they’re “in the game”), to impress each other, because they get a giggle out of watching the woman scurry away… it’s never gonna work and they know it. The woman is basically the butt of a joke. I find it really fucking rude.

    I’d never demonize male sexuality – she’s a woman and you’re a man. You’re literally built to want to fuck each other. Get in there and take a shot! You’re allowed to try to get laid. Nothing wrong with having a boner for a girl. But treat her like a person, for chrissake. Try to attract her, not repel her.

    Would you do that if you were trying to meet anyone else?

    “HEY BOSS, WHAT’S THAT, A FORTUNE FIVE HUNDRED COMPANY? C’MERE AND HIRE ME MAN, I GOT A LENGTHY RESUME! WHERE YOU GOING, CORPORATE, I’M TALKING TO YOU! I’M JUST SAYING YOU LOOK GOOD IN THAT SUIT! WHAT ARE YOU, TOO STUCK UP TO TAKE A COMPLIMENT? FINE, FUCK YOU, YOUR COMPANY SUCKS ANYWAY!”
