Re: the postpartum tweets, I really think one of the great potential benefits of marriage is that it can teach men not to be slaves to their physical appetites, and women not to be slaves to their emotions.
I say "potential," though, because first a spouse has to be willing to accept that they aren't the center of the universe (and maybe as regards the tweets specifically, that not every thought you have, especially in the turmoil of a huge life change, should be broadcast to millions of strangers.)
Incredible compilation, this is becoming a must read every time it's published, banger after banger with lost gemralds peppered throughout. Bravo, fr fr.
The looksmaxxing tweet is probably right and indicative of the coming "beautiful ones" stage of our descent into the Behavioral Sink. John Calhoun remains vindicated.
The postpartum thing is a great microcosm of internet culture as a whole. Lots of childless people yelling sex-war platitudes around each other, all so tiresome and pathetic.
If you’ve never been a new father, you have no idea what it feels like to be a new father. If we want to understand the experiences of new fathers, we should sit and listen to them, even (especially?) when the things they say are unexpectedly cynical. But the internet just wants to do men-bad women-good women-bad men-good reddit-level “discourse”, bleh, have at it I guess.
Being a new father is tough if nobody prepares you for the “downgrade” that comes with in the first couple months. You go from #1 most important person in this woman’s life, to her #15 priority. Frankly, the first couple months, you are basically her manservant, and that’s okay, but somebody (YOUR FATHER) should prepare and guide you through that phase, so you don’t spiral into a pit of resentment.
Bad/inexperienced/unprepared husbands get jealous of the time and care and attention the new baby gets, fell abandonment, feel exploited (she only wanted me so she could get a baby, now that she has the baby she doesn’t need me anymore, I’m just her butler now), become resentful and angry and cheat. Bad/inexperienced/unprepared wives completely stop caring about her husband’s need for connection, appreciation, care, love, respect, perceive his human need for connection as a burden and a sign of immaturity and pathetic codependency, and start to view and treat him as the manservant he is acting as.
The deluge of venom at this slightest of glimpses inside male psychology is highly instructive. The fact that men couldn’t or are unwilling to understand the female perspective is similarly instructive. Seriously, why would you expect physical intimacy in the first two months, why did your father not sit you down and explain the role and expectations? Likewise, did your mother not sit you down and remind you that your husband is still a man, if you don’t treat him with care and respect and love, he will start to resent you? Frankly, it’s just shitty mentorship from the grandparents all around.
All so bleak. I got rid of my twitter account after this, so little value from so many words.
If you were disgusted by Africans inserting spices in the ass to keep the face looking young, you definitely don't want to know what they do for showers and hair coloration. Or how they stimulate lactation in cows.
Counterpoint to the looksmaxxing, its HELLA fucking gay. Sure taking care of yourself is important, but that should be for your own personal benefit, i.e. your body not failing in your 60s.
I dunno about you but I don’t think looksmaxing worked too well for the peacock. Super pretty bird, sucks at doing a lot of bird things like, taking off into flight.

this is the best analysis i’ve yet on the subject. look out for a podcast episode in a few hours from us on this.

"Scott Greer explains why Americans need to remove the term “legal immigrant” from their vocabulary."
They all have to go back. Or get deported in place.
If it's a hospital birth then the man needs to be in the birthing room to protect his wife and child from the hospital staff.
Wait...the rabid dogs in India is a new thing?
I remember that years before a 3 people died of rabies, because their organ donor went to India and probably was bitten by a dog. It was in Germany.
Btw you should all go visit India, you will become a changed man after.
(Like my friend who was a shitlib and became a full on racist)

great stuff here!
I hope the Hegelian E girl sees my Hegel name-drop
Foxford bang on as usual
The fact Ryan Turnipseed is such a gigachad despite the name Turnipseed is like Boy Named Sue level moxie
and that hair like Legolas
Idk Natalism, if your goal is getting people in heat, you could probably be well served with a different face
He's had three kids and shows no signs of stopping 🤷
I had a banger reply guy response to the Freya India piece that I published as a note
That Selena tweet reminds me of Junior Soprano being caught in the muff.

It’s gay, and it’s very common in wealthy urban societies. That guy writing the tweet was just garbling a very simple thing. It’s just gay
Not so sure about this -- fussy personal grooming is popular among hyper-hetero urban poor blacks and latinos.
Hyper-hetero? Idk about that…
Yeah but they don’t look and act gay, plus they aren’t white
No husband was repulsed in the taking of that blown out undercarriage photo.
That baby daddy was gone before the cord was cut.
