Yeah, I've bern told that you aren't supposed to hide your profile if you are posting in the forums, but I have done it on occasion. Sometimes this place gets to be too much.

By who? They were talking some serious garbage.

I can't remember who it was, but it was something that someone wrote in a post just within the last few weeks. They said it was because the moderators needed to be able to contact anyone that posts.

I didn't put too much stock into it because I had never heard or seen that before, and I figure that admin should be able to contact a poster, hidden profile or not.

I can't find it now or I would repost.

I'm pretty sure I'll get shit on, but I have to say... I'm not completely sure that some people in this thread are clear on how the whole 'social construct' line of reasoning works.

I don't know how anyone could argue that if a baby is born a boy, it doesn't mean that from birth everyone around him is going to be steering him in a certain direction-- his room will be painted blue, they'll buy him boy toys, dress him in boy clothes, etc. However, he is obviously still physiologically different from a girl. The question is exactly which aspects of who he becomes are due to conditioning and which aspects are due to biological programming.

I get that men are often physically stronger and also think differently from women, but I honestly can't imagine anyone arguing that the social dimensions of a person's being (including relationships, sex, friendship, etc.) aren't heavily influenced by their upbringing, their neighbors, friends, the media, etc. All of this 'alpha and beta' shit that originated in the PUA community isn't really supported by science-- in fact, it has been thoroughly debunked even with regards to animals.

As society changes people adapt to it, and that means our concept of what is attractive to us evolves as well. Maybe when we were all huddling in our caves, terrified of predators, we felt the need to have a big strong protector (and the protectors got all the vag as a reward), but we're not living in that type of society anymore. Evolution isn't about ascending a pre-established hierarchy, it's about adaptation... and the funny thing is, most of the men who go to dominatrixes are really successful in their life-- I mean, we're talking about executives and entrepreneurs who make millions.

In our society, wealth is probably the closest thing we have to an objective measure of success... the image of the working class tough guy who will fight for your honor is pretty much a running joke at this point. Bill Gates isn't exactly a manly man, but he is undoubtedly what billions of people aspire to be.

I honestly feel like all of this 'alpha male' shit is like a consolation prize rooted in the wealth gap-- insecure men who couldn't possibly hope to get to the top of their field instead start working out, talking tough and use sex to prove to themselves that they can 'succeed' socially. They know they're losing their economic power over women, so they change the rules of the game and focus on ugly forms of manipulation and meaningless sex, rooted in a hopelessly backwards narrative that combines nostalgia, pseudo-science, self-help and more often than not, right-wing politics/fascism.

The worst part is that they're actually better off than the guys who are simply lost/defeated... so they think they're right.

It's still bullshit. If the moderators (are there any?) need to contact a poster, they can regardless of our profile being hidden. They have access.

Just as an aside.. If someone has hidden their profile, you can still message them by using the PM button at the bottom of each message.
No profile comes up but you can send them a message, if they are blocked is the exception. The mods dont need our forum or profile access.
Thats part of the software.

I think there is a difference between a powerful man who uses a dominatrix for some relief for a few hours vs. a boy who wants to submit to the rule of women as his paradigm of existence.

Anyone who submits to anyone as a paradigm of their existence is going to be different from most other members of their gender. I'm just not sure why you're trying to force traditional gender roles onto non-traditional relationships.

You only need to have a profile. You can hide your profile. The Moderators have the ability to email whether it's hidden or not.

I'm not trying to force anything. I just have a concern for the long- term well- being of society when we don't hold any reasonable standards for the individuals that compose that society.

I have a question for the various participants of this thread. Why does it upset you all so much that tamaka holds the views she does? How does it impact your life? Do you see her and Awareness's views to be somehow a threat to you?


Wow. Precisely the opposite way around, from what I've seen on reading this nasty, ugly little thread.



I don't understand how you got to the assumption that it was the opposite way around from this thread.



The larger kind of comfort is that which supports the social stereotypes and this is what's been drawn upon by Awareness and tamaka, Ishtar. It's this that, when rocked (which happens often), makes Awareness, in particular, so angry. Tamaka, on the other hand, has breezed through her arguments more in the manner of an innocent. That's my impression, anyway.

There's a difference between having standards and conforming to rigid categories that are probably obsolete anyways.
We should be aiming to open people's minds, not close them.

I don't read him as angry at all.
I usually read his opponents as angry, while I read Awareness as amused.

When you are engaging with him, you often seem angry for instance. He doesn't, though he does sometimes seem irritated in a condescending kind of way.

But then again, it's text... so it's generally very hard to accurately predict how somebody is feeling when they type something. I know I've often been accused of typing angry when I'm disagreeing with somebody when that's absolutely not the case at all (I don't get angry over stuff here... I don't care enough about anybody here in order to be able to get angry about it). So I might be misreading both you and him... likewise you might be misreading him as well.

She started with opinion. Then later made a couple argument to explain why she thinks her opinions are valid.

Either way, I agree with you. I have no idea why anybody cares so much what her opinions are.

A, firstly, you're not in a position to talk about people 'acting like emotional children'. You can't get through a post on almost anything without getting emotional. Your posts are full of anger. That's why they're so replete with 'fuckings', etc, etc. Almost everything you say here is a 'shouting down'.
Oh please. Your lack of perception is your own fucking problem. You have absolutely zero idea of my emotional state when I'm posting, you merely read into it what you wish to see, because it feeds your delusional need for a sense of superiority. Suffice to say, you lack both perception and imagination.


Strewth, A. You say yourself, not a few lines later, that 'Words are defined by their usage within a community'. What do you think your continued use of 'fuckings', laced with the odd 'cunt', say, given that? They're meant to imply what you want them to imply. I've no need for great levels of perception and imagination - everybody knows a boor when he sees one writing. As for 'sense of superiority' - what is the matter with you? You've spent a major about of the time on this board telling me and other malesubs that we're intent on fostering a sense of *inferiority* in ourselves. This is our 'weakness', in your view.


quote:

What you're basically saying is that you could define yourself as a tree-frog and this would somehow affect objective reality - which is utter fucking nonsense. And as for "this is because they're made up terms" - those things are called "words" you mental midget.

Christ, what fucking universe do you live in? Does it have any connection to reality? At all?


Simply cretinous. You knew, or should know, that 'made up terms' is derived from the phrase 'social construct' itself. 'Constructed' = 'made up'. But now you're being willfully stupid.

quote:


Yes, yes ... I read Robert Bly's Iron John when it came out, too. There are these rituals (or were, until present-day advanced socieities, when they came to be lacking, according to Bly - and for very good reasons according to his critics ) ... and they varied across the world. They were more than just the Jungian 'slaying of the dragon', though ... and the 'mother complex' wasn't wholly defined as a negative thing. Though ... you really want to invoke Carl Jung after just having trumpeted the supposed 'scientific support' for your views? Seriously? I mean, I'm something of a fan of Jung ... but, bloody hell, even his mentor, Freud, was being ripped to shreds as a 'scientist' within decades of his death, and Jung never had Freud's clout.
It's a metaphor, you simpleton.


Righty ho - when called on for invoking two thinkers with questionable scientific credentials, in support of the scientific argument you put in the preceding paragraph, pop, you're now talking 'metaphors'. God, you're a bullshitter.

quote:

quote:

quote:


Strong teens join gangs because they are the only social unit in Western societies which engage in rites of passage. The lack of rites of passage in Western societies has thus caused multiple social problems, with one being men such as yourself who compromise their masculinity in their quest for female acceptance. The woman is the centre of your social existence and thus your masculinity is warped to that end.


The last sentence is of course simply prejudiced nonsense. As for the rest: Get real. Teen boys join gangs and end up screwing up at school and frequently falling into the arms of the police. Gangs enforce and reinforce behaviour. The individual kid who doesn't actually want to be a violent thug is bullied by peer group pressure into being just that. The average gang-member is not more free and more individual, he's less so on both counts. (On the other teenage boys who group together, work together, join clubs ... *that* is different. Did your concept of 'gang' include that?) Even then, though, in order to become authentic as oneself, the teenage boy eventually has to leave the gang in order to finish growing up.
Way to miss the point. Completely. Look, it's truly a waste of time for you to respond to points you don't fully understand. Just post something to that effect and move on.


Now you're into Olympic level bullshitting. OK, then, sure - let's just move on.
quote:


quote:


Oh cut out the 'fuckings', A. Those alone are a dead giveaway of your own rigid and blinkered idea of 'masculinity'. You only use them to suggest that you're suitably aggressive, forthright, strong and wearily angry at those who disagree with your leadership in this (as indeed apparently all) debates. As for the rest: no, I don't have to 'man up' (except in the sense of being who I am) ... and even if I did, you'd not be able to tell whether or not I'd 'manned up' because your idea of masculinity isn't objective, and sure as hell isn't mine.
You're such a child when it comes to so many things. You have the simplest outlook, completely devoid of nuance. Maybe one day, when you grow up.....

quote:

quote:


quote:


Actually, they don't ... well, apart from you and RM. What are you saying to me, A? Is this a version of 'Peon - Aha! Your view on masculinity might work in practice - but does it work in *theory*?' In the real world, outside of your books, I go to BDSM clubs and mix with maledoms, malesubs, homosexual men and women, TVs and TGs. None of them has ever made the slightest noise at me about 'finding me wanting in manliness'. This is because they're *grown up*. They don't have teenage hang ups any more.
Another straw man on your part. And now you're misinterpreting social inhibition and engaging in mind-reading. Is there any thought you have which is actually logically constructed? At any time? Because you sure as shit seem like someone who throws together random ideas and hopes they stick.



Does this tactic work, A? Seriously? I must try it some time. 'Try to gauge what is most glaringly wrong with your own thinking and what your opponent is most likely to throw at you - and hit him with exactly that first!'

Honestly you gender weirdos are so easy to take apart, your arguments are just such childish nonsense. Should I even mention that if your stance fails to explain why trans folk attempt to mimic the BIOLOGICAL aspects of the opposite gender? Surely, all they need to do is declare themselves male or female and then - by your logic - they magically are male or female.


God, A. Can you be this dense? Have you seriously not understood the most basic thing that I've said? Or are you putting it on? Either way, I just don't get you. And ... I've near run out of interest in getting you, too.
So basically you don't have an answer and this well known contradiction between gender theorists and the trans community is something you're still unable to explain. Noted.
Nup, you're still missing the basic point, and I can no longer be bothered to teach you it.

Yes, people fight to defend their families. My grandfather did. My father fought, in his own way, against the IRA. I can only imagine how disappointed they are in you.


As of last month, 'were', in both cases. No, they were both proud of me. They were right wing, but saw what I'd struggled for, on occasion. And you demonstrate sod all understanding of the Left, yet again, by talking about it in the way that you do. Straw man upon straw man. But what about you, A? No doubt the same could never be said of yourself, having honed your mind and body into the warrior-like state it's in today - and fought so heroically for all that you believe in, hmmm? I mean, doubtless you're *much* more than just a keyboard warrior and the Silverback of CS?

Presumably you've heard of arguments to that effect in relation to wars?
Usually by mental incompetents who understand nothing of human psychology and geopolitics. Whose simplistic "war is bad" mantra extends to "war is bad because toxic masculinity". Psychologically damaged fruitcakes, in other words.


Cobblers, and you know it. From WW1 through to the present-day some of the bravest people there have been, have been conscientious objectors. And you, old chap, are pissing all over (to use your own delightful phrase) the ex-fighters who have campaigned against war.

Oh please. An avowed sexist telling me that I don't know how to treat women as human beings. That's too rich. Also - this, from someone who has spent a big portion of this thread barking at them as though they're all dangerous medusas and harpies?
Women are every bit as corrupt, selfish, deluded and venal as men. Your refusal to accept this reality is why you're a boy, not a man.



Tell me where I've ever said that women can't be as nasty as men, you blithering fruitcake. Of course they can - just as they can learn to operate machines, fire guns - and, yep, grow up to be femdoms. Or have I still failed, even after all this time, to convey to you that as someone who favours a social constructionist viewpoint I don't buy into an essentialism that dictates that women are 'hard wired' by Nature to be fluffy, squeaky-nice ... and submissive?

Well, each to his/her own interpretation, as you say. To me, it's sometimes difficult to see when Awareness is *actually* angry, and when he's putting it on. However, most of the time he seems to be putting on a blend of anger and amused condescension, as part of his overall strategy. But, whatever, the language he uses - his repeated use of fuckings, etc, etc ... plus words like 'cunt', and various ways of putting people down (that he must know are socially unacceptable)- are either signs of anger - or signs of something actually more unpleasant. I think for his sake we'd better stick with 'anger'.

if need be by not even addressing the arguments she's made

Well, in all honesty she has not made any arguments, only expressed her opinion.


She started with opinion. Then later made a couple argument to explain why she thinks her opinions are valid.

Either way, I agree with you. I have no idea why anybody cares so much what her opinions are.



I think it's to do with her articulating a stereotypical view - one that most of us here have felt, at one time or another, to be restricting - in a way that seems too carefree. A bit like when an innocent racist talks in a blithe way about this or that race being inferior, for instance. He doesn't set out to be infuriating - which is all the more infuriating.
