Quote:Ben- I don't even think shes consciously aware of it or if she is, she just likes being willfully ignorant. I honestly think hers is a case what happens when someone gets disillusioned with the "disney" fairy tale that society pushes and then decides to take a cop out so she doesn't have to change. I remember her from back in Highschool and she wasn't like this before. For some reason though in college she decided to become a feminist with extreme views. I think its because she realized what many others have come to realize. That the "Disney" idea of remaining how you are (no matter how fat, lazy, stupid, nerdy, beta, omega and inconsiderate I am) and somehow you will meet someone who will accept you just like that is complete BS (now if you won the Genetic lottery you might get a little leeway in how bad your personality can be but even then people can only handle so much). Of course after you realize this you have two choices you can make. You can be like the minority (like the people on this forum) who went out and decided to work on themselves (self-development route) or you can be like the majority of people and take a cop out (lazy/fear route). Obviously she took the cop out (all men sexually objectify women, men are the problem so I don't have to change. They should change).
Oh yeah.. the 'just be yourself' crap.
That might work if you're already a natural player but if just being yourself is a big nerd who pees his pants around girls then that advice isn't going to work. I think you'd love the rational male book as it talks about this stuff alot, how society programs us to believe this crap vs the reality. Some of it is a little bleak but on a whole it's a good book.
One funny part is that these really nice pussy guys will do this and occasionally they will find a girl and then be like "see.. it works"
