In one of my previous articles entitled “Fear”, I discussed at length how both corporations and feminism are the “ruling class” of contemporary American society. Of course, nobody likes corporations. For the purposes of this article, there is no need to beat a dead horse in terms of describing how greedy and unethical most of them are. Today, we focus on the other head of this two-headed western monster called “feminism.”
I have stated that feminism’s unstated goals are the complete restriction, or in some cases criminalization (read: street harassment) of male sexuality. This means a widespread societal consensus that male-isms overall must be stopped. I say unstated goals because it is not practical to state outright that there is an entire movement dedicated to legislating behavior. Instead, it makes far more sense for the calculating leaders of modern day feminism to willingly step into the role of victim of some bogus outrage. They accomplish far more this way.
I attribute much of my inspiration to Rollo Tomassi of the renowned blog “The Rational Male”, for nearly three years of taking feminism to task in a way that is logical and respectful rather than petulant and angry. After all, it was that negative-loop style that alienated a lot of men (myself included) who were once intrigued by the Men’s Rights Movement. It was this style that allowed the Southern Poverty Law Center to blame Men’s Rights leaders for the Elliot Rodger massacre, despite the fact that his inherent beta maleness and childish sense of entitlement was the exact opposite of what the principled voices of the movement advocate. Tomassi has consistently supported his overall thesis which is there is such a thing as the “feminine imperative” a system that seeks to both overtly and covertly move western culture toward a more fem-centric primacy. We already live in a society where women get into clubs for free, have their drinks paid for, and receive priority in an emergency (i.e., women and children are first off a sinking ship or out of a burning building.) But clearly, this isn’t enough.
Feminism’s latest gaffe is a public relations stunt in New York City, where the MTA (a splendid example of a despicable corporation) is trying to shame men into not spreading their legs on a crowded train.
“Manspreading,” when men take up excess space by sitting with their legs far apart, has long been a pet peeve for riders on buses and trains.
But now, the fight is on to end the space-hogging stance, according to a new poster campaign announced this week from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
The New York City area transportation network plans to remind male riders to keep their legs together with signs that say “Dude…..Stop the Spread, Please.”
The MTA’s anti-manspreading poster is part of a new campaign called “Courtesy Counts, Manners Make a Better Ride” that reminds riders to be polite to fellow passengers.
“All of the topics and suggestions are intended to raise rider awareness of what they can do to create a better trip for everyone,” the MTA said of the campaign in a statement.
Other signs in the campaign include:
“Take Your Pack Off Your Back”
“Offer Your Seat to an Elderly, Disabled, or Pregnant Person”
“Don’t be a Pole Hog”
“It’s a Subway Car Not a Dining Car”
“Step Aside to Let Others Off First”
The MTA plans to install the 46-inch or 72-inch train etiquette posters on all 2,600 subway cars and plans to also post them in buses, according the statement.
To be blunt, this is the first step in a multi-step effort to legislate etiquette. This is eerily similar to the Swedish leftist campaign, who wants to make it illegal to urinate standing up. You read that right.
One reason all men do this is because it is very uncomfortable to sit with our thighs touching one another. The male testicles are an extremely sensitive body part with an astronomical number of nerve endings, to the extent that discomfort in that region has been compared to childbirth. If it were practical to squeeze them together, men would sit like this willingly.
I’m not advocating men spread their legs to the level of obscenity when an elderly person or pregnant woman is nearby. By all means, men should be polite. However, it is worth noting that the picture in the article depicts four men who are sitting very modestly. On a side note, I’d like to know how many active PR campaigns there are in New York City right now targeting any specific behavior of women, minorities, etc.
The most disturbing aspect of the story is the high likelihood that many men helped to create this campaign. I also alluded to appeasement in “Fear”, whereby hordes of men are buying into this idea of lifetime deference and chivalry for the sake of not appearing “like other guys.” It is a hollow and obvious tactic designed to impress women in the way that Disney and their elementary school teachers told them would work.
This has to stop now. Unwanted whistling at women on the street is rude, but it has never been illegal until very recently. We are entering into dangerous territory. Young boys are being prescribed ADHD pills at a young age to stifle their aggression and natural male curiosity. Grown men are retreating into mancaves and joking about it. And soon men will urinate sitting down and sit on trains with their legs crossed. What would our great-grandfathers say?
My recommendation to the MTA is to stop this garbage. An easy solution to the problem of crowded trains is to build more trains and design more train routes in a city of 8 million people.
I am sexually attracted to the feminine. That doesn’t mean I have to be feminine by force…
