Linkage: Omnipitron Edition

I’ve been meaning to get around to this for a while; not just for the inherent SEO benefits, but also because it’s the Right Thing to Do.  I’m ashamed to say it’s fallen by the wayside.  What with my busy schedule of harassing endangered species, getting drunk with my standup comedian–Literary Agent, scouting out sniper positions throughout the city, and yelling at myself in the mirror – I don’t get nearly enough writing done.

So without further ado, allow me to introduce Omnipitron at The Phantom Tollbooth: One man’s journey through blended family, ADHD, and rampant Misandry; he recently wrote a 5-part series which – in my eyes – contained a stunning insight.

Let’s see if my summary can do him justice.

The Negotiation

Part 1

Why the hell are women so pissed off?  Why these fifty years of feminism, of misandry, and idiotic social policies?  In the Manosphere we tend to look at women – plural – from the outside, examining only their Effects upon the world as if they were some sort of Black Box.  It is only with a woman – singular – that we begin to examine her Causes: hypergamy, fading looks, & her enslavement to her own emotions.  We seldom ask what caused Feminism in the first place.

To understand the cause, we need to realize that women don’t have that much control over their lives – not compared to men, anyway – and this has nothing to do with Patriarchy, or Male Privilege.

It’s their biology that put them Behind the Eight Ball when The Negotiation started.

Part 2

We all know what’s on the table – Men are offering status, Women are offering beauty.  Now here’s the rub:

Us red-blooded Men can (more-or-less) control our status through hard work and learning Game.  Furthermore, our assets appreciate over time – we are not competing with our cohort, nor are we competing with George Clooney – we are only competing with the few-dozen other men around us.  The George Soldinis of the world are rare; generally speaking, every dog has his day.

Women, on the other hand, have almost zero control over what they bring to the table.  It’s Genetics, baby, Genetics!  Stupid can be Taught, but Ugly is Forever – in fact, ugly gets worse as time progresses.  And then – as if that’s not bad enough – unlike us, Women are competing with Jessica Alba – as well as the latest crop of Delicious High School Graduates.

Can you see at this very early stage of the negotiation why women get so butt hurt about men and their ‘preoccupation’ with a woman’s appearance? Hey, us guys do get a little hot under the collar when it comes to some women and their ‘gold digging’ ways, but we can choose to make more money, to us it’s simply a choice (look at that, we have a choice) to improve our status.

Oh, but he’s not done yet…

Part 3

In this part, he brings up numerous examples of celbrity Spring/Autumn relationships.  Women, despite their focus on status, also value Youth and Good Looks to a certain degree; Aston Kutcher QED.

But even if a 20 year old woman should marry a 20 year old sparkly vampire good-looking millionaire, nature will be working against the relationship.  Her market value diminishes; his increases.  The occasional Woman such as Demi Moore might retain her looks well into her forties, but that doesn’t change the fact that Time is her Enemy.

Men grow more secure, and more powerful as they age, right up to the point of senescence.  Women feel a creeping fear that nobody will love them in twenty years, and they will fall into spinsterhood.

Men have a future to look forward to; women have only the past.

Part 4

In this part he rewinds a bit – let’s re-examine the biological principle.

Men – we really just need sex.  In a pinch masturbation will do just fine, particularly with freely available Internet Porn; it’s not ideal, but we can survive off it.  Women, on the other hand, need children… and the money to raise them.

Women need men like fish need WATER, it’s men who need women like a fish needs a bicycle,

Neither sperm banks, nor one-night-stands will settle a woman’s biological imperitive.  Ultimately she needs resources, and a lot of them, before she will be as “free” as a man.  Her assets in the Sexual Marketplace devalue, rapidly.  That is why she has opted for Divorce Theft.

1)      Since women have indirect control over their assets, this means the type of man they can even initially assess may be much lower than they want. They have no means of increasing their value so this affects their asking price significantly.

2)      So long as her prospect is at least halfway ambitious, his value will increase over time, while hers has a very short shelf life and will ultimately decrease. This also means that she doesn’t have quite as much time to haggle with the price as doing so works to his benefit, but to her expense and even what sort of price she can ask in the first place

3)      The biggest one; this situation benefits her quite a bit more than it will ever benefit him so this too also means she can’t set a price for as quite as much as she would like. It also means that he can set a much higher price that she will have little choice but to accept.

But ultimately, not even this works – feminism is exacerbating the problems, by making sex even easier for us to access.  Sorry ladies, you can’t fight nature.

Part 5

‘Male Privilege’ isn’t about institutional power – it’s the biology, stupid!  They’re pissed off because it’s just not fair!!!

So now he introduces another brilliant analogy: pro Football players.

They can’t ask for too much however, because doing so may sour the team against signing them. This is the reality; there will always be other football players willing to take their place. In fact, consider the pressure on any starter in the game. All they need do is look to the bench and they will see many hungry eyes chomping at the bit to replace them if given half the chance. Injury, dismal performance, a downward spiral of attitude can and will eventually mean you and these ‘youngry’ players will switch seats. Does anyone need to state that NO athlete EVER wants to be on the bench?

And I thought sales was stressful.

Lots of pressure wouldn’t you agree? While the money may be phenomenal, would that pressure to perform be worth it? How many men reading this are glad they never have to face such pressures? … women face those very same pressures just by being born female and they have no choice in the matter.

He then goes on to provide roughly a dozen feminist quotes that fit perfectly with the theory he describes.

My Thoughts

I’ve seen plenty of great deconstructions of Feminist ‘Thought’ before – I’ve written a few myself – but this is the first time I’ve run into such an extensive and empathetic explanation of what underlies the ideology.

Obviously this is no excuse for feminism; quite frankly, it’s a juvenile mentality.  As any MRA will be quick to point out, feminism completely fails to acknowledge the sacrifices of Life and Limb that we Men have made throughout history… let alone the fact that Men have largely wielded their ‘power’ with kindess and care for the weaker sex.

So let me finish with a Sun Tzu quote, so well know that Google autocompleted it for me:

It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.

Oh, and one last thing – go read his damn blog.  Omnipitron’s a bit wordy at times, but there’s some good, wacky stuff bouncing around that skull of his.
