Sexism for fun and profit

Psychology of Women Quarterly brings the challenge:
...benevolent sexism is an ideology that perpetuates gender inequality. But despite its negative consequences, benevolent sexism is a prevalent ideology that some even find attractive...

Additionally, benevolent sexism was indirectly associated with life satisfaction for both women and men...

Thus, our findings reinforce the dangerous nature of benevolent sexism and emphasize the need for interventions to reduce its prevalence.
"Benevolent sexism," also known as being a gentleman, includes all sorts of dangerous behaviors like opening doors, giving up your seat on a bus, or putting women and children in the lifeboats first. It treats men and women differently, asserting, even demonstrating, that men and women are different. Such sexism is a slap in the pudgy, frowning face of egalitarianism. It re-draws the boundaries feminists have been frantically attempting to erase for half a century with a fat-tipped, permanent black marker.

The fact that such acts make both women and men* happy is sufficient provocation to leftists that they will dream up all manner of "interventions" to keep you from doing them. We can't have people being happy, now can we? In Moonbatistan we may not all be equally miserable, but at least we'll all be misersable.

Which is what I don't get about lots of bloggers who see feminism as the main source of dry rot in our teetering culture.  The Captain says in response, "Open your own damn door." And Vox has stated more than once how he purposely un-learned to hold doors. Why in the world would you do that?  Here you have a simple act - pregnant with symbolism and yet functional at the same time - that makes everyone in the world happy except feminists. And you're going to stop doing it? Call me obsessive, but if I'm living in such a way that leftists are not dreaming up endless "interventions" for me, I'm not really living.

These same bloggers write incessantly about "game," that alleged set of attitudes and behaviors men can use to manipulate women. Is there need of a reminder that a man need not let either the acts or the attitudes of women, and especially feminists, determine his own behavior?  So some cankled feminist reacts negatively** to you holding the door for her. Who cares? Choose to do it anyway.*** Hold the door open until she either goes through it or goes away. If anyone in that transaction has the need to feel stupid, it's not the one with a door in his hand. Rather, it's the one who is trying desperately to convince herself that it's your sexism that produces negative consequences in her life rather than her pride, her leftist idiocy, and her irrational stubbornness.  

* for some unknown reason, the study does not seem to take into account the attitudes of transgenders, bi-genders, gynephilic MtF transsexuals, androgynes, and those who self-identify as rutabagas or hyperintelligent shades of the color blue. PWQ is certainly going to hear it from their readers now.
** i.e. she's running a little bit of "game" on you. Don't fall for it.
*** If you're not doing it to be a gentleman, at least do it as an act of cultural sabotage.

Is there an echo around here? Some other brilliant soul just noted that in an earlier thread before getting to this one.

I know your continued stance on this issue, and I'm just not smart enough to get it yet. VD is right.
They were brutalized by the change agents that got them this far - your "love" and doing the right thing for them only allows the predator to believe they have a fighting chance - an excuse and a lie that can continue in the face of your giving in.
Nothing defeats their cause more than them being completely irrelevant and unnoticed, while you are joyously happy and seizing every day and moment, obviously so, and right up in their grill.
(I know, I know, you say you're NOT giving in. Rather, the opposite "I don't do it because they're a real woman but because I'm a real man" - but it does something of a disservice to refer to Feminism with kid gloves - Moonbattery - it is Life and Death, quite Literally. You are not going to change them with your "love" - not that that is exactly what you're claiming, but it's close - it seems you're saying Game is not being "consistent".)

The Truth of the matter is all that matters, no matter how that is shown them - they were violated into it (most) and will only be violated out of it (most). Your conversion of said fems will have to be of seeking fems - not happening. I see what you're doing with the Game stuff though - naturally, they're all seeking, no? Cog or no? In essence, that is the WHOLE (psych) point of GAME, right?

Certainly an interesting dialectic 'tween you and VD on this.
It is best that the freesouls do the Violating - because in the end....it isn't. (see: "Jesus").
And Bitches are simply Bitches because they desire for you to worship them - as goddesses.
And Chivalry always involved all the other ladies - you know, that weren't our wives. A proper example? Real Game? Dunno. Maybe.

Interesting - and important - as always.

It's a good thing, too, since I have absolutely no interest in converting feminists. What I do have an interest in - besides tweaking them - is living my life unaffected by their preposterous ideology. I live as if there are real and important differences between men and women because there are.* That it annoys feminists is mere icing on the cake.

As much as I hate the formula "if x, the terrorists win," there's something to be said for "if x, the feminists win." If you do what they want, they win. If you give feminists equality straight down the barrel, they win. They are not going to learn from the mistake, they are going to be hurt, revel in that hurt, and feel all the more justified. Psychic pain causes feminism, and psychic pain justifies feminism.

But it's not treating Moonbattery with kids gloves as much as it is denying Moonbattery its natural corrosive effects. It is saying to the Moonbat, your chanting does not convince me, your interventions do not affect me. I choose to defy your expectations because I am free.

Vox wants to give feminists what they ask for in order that they learn a hard lesson. I suggest that it's a lesson they will not learn, because Feminism is not intellectual, it is emotional. A good feminist will interpret all acts as oppression - I even read one piece today where a British fem (Liz somebody, Smith maybe?) wrote that a man offering to give up his seat was discriminatory against her. No lessons can be taught a mind that closed.

So we are left with actions. Do I hold the door or no. To the feminist, I hold the door because I think she's weak or I don't hold it because I think she's scary - in either case, it's about her. I say that it's not about her at all. I hold the door because that's who I am. In other words, it's about me.

(Word count penalty box be damned, no?)

Why not? If it were not a dangerous Power in action with negative results on a society as a whole in which you live - which most definitely affects you or yours (see: Government coercion) - then it wouldn't matter. You are separating the personal (its non-affect on you) from feminism's true, only important goal: the Collective "security".
I have no doubt you are free on a personal level. Are you, however, free to NOT hold the door?

If you give feminists equality straight down the barrel, they win.
Negative. They would get both barrels. They would "lose" (feminist interpretation).
The exact opposite is true. Nature (which they hate) shows them the painful (only to feminists) stark reality. Who cares if they are sitting in judgement of you (and Nature's God)? They're ignorant infants. They are the very thing they claim to hate. That they can't see this due to their emotional pride needn't bring down a society or perpetuate lies.

They are not going to learn from the mistake, they are going to be hurt, revel in that hurt
I agree with the psych of this, but it stops short. Fem is a cancerous, murderous disease. It must be killed in the street like a rabid dog.
They only revel in that hurt, survive it, and once again come out wrongly on the other (pride) side once again because in reality they aren't really "very hurt". They haven't been FORCED to reach the inevitable, truly painful conclusion. They are not forced (according to nature, not by govt fiat) to see the reality of getting what they think they want, and suffering the real consequences - on the very equal playing field they claim to desire. (they actually do not desire it as you know - that is part of the lie).
Again, kid gloves - infantile children feigning hurt and pain. They have no idea.

I choose to defy your expectations because I am free.
But they are still controlling you. Whether it's a reaction, a counter-reaction, or a triple-dog-dare reaction with a twist, you are still doing something, ie. "acting/reacting" because of their incorrect belief.
You give your game away with "annoy" (action/reaction - still playing the game). I agree w/VD that the ultimate correction is ignoring them because they don't exist to males or public, forceful correction in the name of true "equality" (there's a reason young girls are often quoted as feeling: "he doesn't even know I exist - why can't I be her (getting the attention I so desperately crave from a male)?? boohoo").
The ultimate point of Game to me seems to be that fems are hardwired according to their nature to respond to (proper/superior) male stimulus. THEY CANNOT HELP IT. Their desire is for a man. (Your desire shall be for your husband....OH THE PAIN!!!)
It is only denied at their (and society's) peril - men failing to be men is also part of that formula obviously, but that too is called "feminism".
Therefore nothing hits home harder than realizing you're not in the Game at all. You don't even exist - because that is the way you ultimately want it. In their pride, they are not submitting to the rules of the Game, which are unchangeable. I have heard "hell" described in such a way.
THAT FEMS TEMPT YOU TO OVERREACT AND THEN SIT IN JUDGEMENT WHEN YOU DO is irrelevant. It can only be deemed an "overreaction" or "unfair" because we are not equal, and they realize inherently - conscious or no - they cannot stike back on equal terms. They are playing the schizo victim/goddess role at the same time in so doing, and certainly need to be disabused of this notion as well.

Feminism is not intellectual, it is emotional. A good feminist will interpret all acts as oppression
Absolutely. But their infantile, incorrect emotional reaction to this "oppression" is laughable, and should be mocked openly and loudly. VD both ignores and confronts. To me the ignoring pains them in a way they'll never admit to, but the confrontation is the only thing that will prove the error of their ways. If they never admit it? No matter, a majority of people will be forced to see the reality of it and that's all that matters - again, it's Game..people will follow the leaders when survival and self preservation is at stake - those leaders must be non-coercive, decent, free souls.(what we both would label "Christian").
This "oppression" is nothing of the kind. Modern, Western fems have no concept of true oppression or hardship - that's a key ingredient to how this sh*t can be sold in the first place - it is a fantasy rooted in luxury, wealth, ease, and relative safety. (you would probably argue that this is going away, therefore fem will go away with it,no?).
A kind act as oppression? Absurd. They have turned human decency on its head, and are allowed to get away with it.
VD notes they should feel some real oppression as a wake-up call. He is correct.

or I don't hold it because I think she's scary
Not the only other possibilities out there. She could be - as all petulant little children, should be - ignored , or openly and forcefully corrected. Nature itself is coercive. Nothing wrong with that at all. Only when human institutions coerce human beings...well, I don't need to explain that to you in the least.
Observation shows that most females do not stand up well at all to being challenged - and when confronted, the very excuses used for them are the very thing they claim to not want - they should be nailed to the wall on this every time. They are the biggest - while most important - walking contradictions on the planet.

I would disagree that some sort of reality and correction or conversion doesn't need to take place - in other words, it should be somewhat "about them" and not just "me". Everyone obeys some Master - and we are all affected by who/what that Master is because TPTB have cunningly turned them into Political/Coercive issues, rooted in self-identity and pride (or lack thereof, in the NAME of pride..and a particular gender!).
Imagine that.

"the woman gave it to me, and I did eat.."
She is Deceived and falls to the Lie in search of her new "self-worth and meaning" apart from her man. Man is tempted by her and falls to her, excusing her failure without correcting her = we all FAIL and fall to hell on earth - at least. Pattern. Repeat. Loop. Chain of Command. Children. Etc.
It is no coincidence that the "original sin" involves male vs female reaction to one another in contrast to a higher ideal - it continues to play out through the ages.
Adam had better stand up and tell that bitch to "put that down now - what the hell do you think you're doing? Think of the Children.."

Maybe if the Chiefs part of the NFL were fems, they might have a better season. At least they'd have an excuse.

bw said...

The Chiefs had their coach in Todd Haley - and they fired him.

Haley said he believed his personal cellphone, a line he used before being hired by the Chiefs in 2009, had been tampered with." Haley ultimately stopped using that phone and would repeatedly check his office for listening devices, Babb adds. According the report, the organization's change from a friendly, family-owned operation to something out of John Grisham's "The Firm" began with the 2009 hiring general manager Scott Pioli, who ushered in an environment that "centered on secrecy, extreme attention to detail and putting an end to the way things had been under longtime general manager Carl Peterson".

I'll bet he has himself scanned for microchipping as well.
