>the guardian

Fun fact, I once wrote an elaborate fake Star Wars episode 8 synopsis where Luke tells Rey she is his father and posted it on /tv/, then some crossposting troglodyte took it and put it up on reddit, and then the Guardian ran a clickbait article claiming that the plot of Star Wars 8 leaked sourcing the reddit post, and then several Star Wars theory youtubers used the Guardian article as a source for million-view-gathering youtube trash videos. I didn't know it migrated to reddit and all of this until one of my friends told me they read the plot of Episode 8 on the internet, and then proceeded to give a synopsis of my shitpost.

My point is that the Guardian is an absolute rag masquerading as a proper source. The writers and editors there jump on trends and post just the most outrageous - and sometimes outright irresponsible - things.

Oh heavens, this wasn't even posted in the Opinion section. Oh well, there's no point in arguing it, there's to much nonsense there anyway. But surely she excepts that books are shaped by the world considerably more then the other way around. And that the values confined in them are those deemed important or predominant at the time they were written.
Is that not evidence that anger, jealousy or sexual frustration have always been an inseparable part of male sexuality. or i'd say any sexuality at all.
Surely you cant say something has been over emphasized if it appears to be a major preoccupation of thousands of independent, or at least mostly unrelated, accounts.

I really do think ideas like hypergam became popular because of guys that had watched too much porn for their own good. Porn sends very specific and unpleasant messages, and because sex is so central to the lives of teenage boys, it likely has a greater effect on them. It's also difficult to advocate for solutions. Because it isn't really possible to reduce the demand for pornography, one must go after the supply, but that can't be done without coming off as an authoritarian because pornographers have convinced the general public that their creation is some sort of personal or artistic expression rather than the producr that it is.

This article is such trash and a great example of the ideological insanity of the modern West. It’s racist and sexist to white males, stereotyping and belittling them, making fun of and/or downplaying their issues, and so on. The writer is the same type of person who will later go “white males are so mad today because they’re losing the privilege they had!” No, maybe a portion of white males are getting more disillusioned, angry, and cynical because it’s becoming increasingly acceptable in mainstream culture, and has been so for a while, to be racist and sexist towards them, and pointing this out means one is one the “alt-right” or an angry white male and is scoffed at and is scoffed at and denied. Certainly there is a history of white male dominance and systemic injustice, but fighting fire with fire — being racist and sexist right back to make them understand how one feels — is not the way to go about remedying it. I’m not a fascist or revolutionary, I’m pretty meek and pacifistic when it comes to politics, but it’s a culture like this which makes me genuinely afraid of some sort of rightist uprising, an upsurging of fascism, because they feel their viewpoints and existence is being ridiculed.

>idea that one was special and worthy of love and power
I definitely agree with you on this anon. The idea that everyone is special and deserving is an ideology that has been developing from both the parents and media that children grow up with. In terms of media I want to bring up Harry Potter and Naruto 2 distinguishable stories that developed from different mediums but overall share a similar kind of protagonist. This creators of both stories made them special; powerful without the need of having to train super hard, and practically everything is handed down to them. Naruto had the 9 tails fox and Harry Potter was the chosen one. Most children stories are like this; like super heroes (only characters i can think of not handed powers are iron man, batman, and somewhat Dr. Strange - all being rich though) and anime.
Stories about protagonist whom work hard and earn what they sow are the kind of stories that children should be inspired by.

I hated this article from start to finish. This person simply can't think properly. Notice the source of the problem is localized in an unspecified "we." This is typical of the way ideologues speak. They consistently locate the source of the problem in some vague entity like "culture" or "patriarchy." Second they consider the mere exposure to ideas dangerous. So "we" are forced to consider the "damage" done to teenage girls who are required to read the Catcher in the Rye, etc. Third, they do not respect individual agency. If YOU don't like something, fine. YOU do something about it (like read the book you want to, and form your own ideas, values etc). No, instead they think they can morally blackmail people into changing their values, interests, or habits. This is partly why they are so fond of the ambiguous "we."

Ultimately what's so hateful is that ideologues like this lady (who seem completely incapable of appreciating a works technical or aesthetic merits) are now seeking to manipulate our tastes in the one medium that values above all else an individuals capacity to make what they will of their experiences and their life. All that matters for people like her is the book's "ideology." Men write about sexual frustration because it is a central concern of their life. This woman is basically using her platform to inflict narcissistic abuse onto others.

I'd wager that it is also that ease that porn provides. Relationships, sex and love is hard, and takes time to cultivate to make something of lasting and worth. Porn is simply lust and excess. All porn seems to frame women as sex-hungry and willing to do anything and everything, and the more hyper the porn, the more violent and disturbed the individual watching the porn is. They cannot see the dark side. The addiction, the rough cuts and edits where the actress goes off the stage to throw up etc. Porn doesn't have the same ethics as say advertisers have, porn is simply appealing to the audience and let them have it.

There are plenty of women out there who are just as scared and unsure as you are but don't know how to voice their fears, possibly the same fears you share. If you want my advice for trying to find someone worth caring for, be completely honest. Find someone who you can speak to with ease, don't hide, don't lie or pretend to be someone youre not.

This sort of vulgar expression of love is not at all what I felt towards them, which was a deep and calm and kind of poetic feeling. I didnt manically need to be with them all the time, which seems to be their basic state of affection.

Liberal journalists relish a constant state of moral panic because it gives them a platform to go around scolding people. Suddenly there is an Incel crisis we( they love that royal we) all must deal with, even the most obnoxious click bait is justified because it will 'trigger' an hypothetical Incel somewhere. The right has the Radical Islamic terrorist scapegoat so liberal journalists feel compelled to create this white male incel scapegoat as a means to 'own' the right somehow. 21st century life seems to be getting bleaker, more paranoid, and atomized.

It's almost mind-numbing.

The whole flimsy argument hinges on the unsupported assumption that literature even has a formative influence on popular attitudes in this day and age. The vast majority of teenagers assigned to read the books she mentions read them begrudgingly (or not at all) and then promptly forget about them without being changed in the slightest. There is no evidence that Elliot Rodger or that Canadian guy were particularly avid readers. Literature doesn't shape the average person's attitudes nowadays. That role has been decisively replaced by audiovisual media.

It's about a complete rejection of the temporal and material in favor of the greater spiritual reality. There's a reason Jesus said the kingdom of God is within oneself. The political is just as much part of the temporal, Jesus would have thrown socialists (socialism and progressivism arguably being a "god building project") out of the temple along with the moneychangers. While Jesus/Buddha comparisons are cliche I think this is where their spiritual outlooks share the most similarities, a complete rejection of material attachment for a higher truth to be found within ourselves.

Enforced monogamy is an anthropological term referring to socially incentivised monogamy - it has no connection whatsoever to the way the media interpreted it (ie: government mandated girlfriends).

The endless parade of mass shooters is an American problem and mass crime in general is a mental health issue and/or cultural problem. In the UK for instance, mass crime can be attributed to indulgent policing (in the aftermath of a man of Caribbean descent being chased by the police and driving his moped into a wall to his death, the outraged Carribean community put social pressures on the police to ban moped pursuits, which effectively made crime legal as long as it is conducted on mopeds) , fear of racism (see grooming scandals), precarious mental health care.

Despite the attention that sexual harassment is getting now, it has consistently gone down as a crime category.

Trump in the white house - I'm not happy with this either, bu he's not the first dubious president, nor will he be the last.

Islam - people find both its tenets, its theology (the fact that it is the only abrahamic religion to take its scriptures as not only the word of God, but the exact speech of God, making its reading more literal and less open to being modulated by secular culture) and the way its followers interact with it a problem. And it is. You have 20% of British Muslims sympathising with 7/7 bombers (31% of young Muslims say they were justified, while 14% of those over 45 are of the same opinion), only one in three British Muslims would contact the police if they were sure someone close to them had become involved with jihadists, 23% of Brit Muslims believe Sharia law should replace British law, while 52% think that homosexuality should be illegal. Now look at their attitudes in the actual Muslim world regarding these things and many others to get of picture of how they interact with their religion and how it informs their behaviour, then tell me it's not an issue.

To that you'll say "to the privilege, equality feels like oppression."

>The incel/Peterson/redpill people who decry that if they want to improve their lives, then they have to stop masturbating is bullshit. What they have to do is stop watching porn so much, and stop consuming easy to go ideas/media
In the modern age masturbation and watching porn are nearly synonymous, since the latter is always just a few clicks away. So if one wants to master his porn addiction he should stop masturbating all together, at least for awhile.

It allows literally anything to become an ideology and even creates a market of exchangeable experiences out of it, complete with social labels impending on the buzz caused over one's own experiences and descriptions. From involuntary celibates to pregnant women to furries to people who cheat in relationships, etc. all the way to the more conventional geopolitical-ideological labels. People who want to criticize capital usually give it too much credit but most other people do not give it the credit it deserves either. It does nestle every fucking where.

Its neither sexual frustration or unrequited love in that case. Hamlet's sperg out is (in my view) a mixture of subterfuge (as he knows Claudius is watching) and genuine misogyny born out of his hatred of his mother who he believes has helped kill his father (and now his girlfriend seems to be in on it as well).

This is a highly situational scene (as most are). Taking it out of context and trying to attach it to some half baked theory about inceldom in literature is fucking retarded.

Using the term "entitlement” to describe any articulation of romantic loneliness or sexual alienation is a way of shaming the men who complain about the sexual standards women apply to them. The sexual standards that men apply to women, on the other hand, are perfectly okay to deconstruct (see the fat acceptance movement). All this talk of autonomy is about women wanting to retain maximum selection power first and foremost. Even the recent anti-monogamy stuff you see leftist publications is a primitivist revolt by women for being expected to date men with suboptimal genes.

Disenfranchised men turn to creative outlets. Just like how disenfranchised blacks created so many musical styles. People who have a lot of stored up rage or sadness or whatever tend to had it explode as a creative force so it makes sense that literature might favor guys who cant get their needs met sexually. Dudes who are balls deep in gash dont often feel the creative surge. It's called a muse for a reason.

Sexual frustration is exacerbated by pornography, but the real cause is people putting off marriage until later in life. There's a gender symmetry to marriage that keeps the majority of people from being completely alone, but until people get married they tend to couple based less on an expectation of faithful monogamy than on sexual attraction. So you have some guys with hundreds of past sexual partners, and some guys with none.

I think people blow up the porn angle way too much, though it is part of the problem. Sex is valuable and yet it is also cheap. It is the greatest thing one can do and yet as casual as tying one's shoe laces. Until we reconcile this dichotomy, sexual frustration and depravity will continue to grow.

I guess you could call it misogynistic but it's pretty obvious Hamlet uses Ophelia for his own ends and it drives her to suicide.

>There is no evidence that Elliot Rodger or that Canadian guy were particularly avid readers.

I've always thought it was particularly ironic that one of his listed books of interest was 48 Laws of Power (not necessarily a bad book). He obviously didn't learn anything from it, even if he did read it.

As someone who was heavily involved in the Eliot Rodger events, it has been interesting to see how different people I know have reacted to it. Bianca (the girl who was with Veronica and Katie when they died) has come out fairly anti-gun (but I wouldn't say she's a staunch activist; not much more so than the average girl). Others, like myself, have taken a much more pro-gun mindset in the days since then, since I've realized the violence isn't going to go away, and so I'd rather be armed myself.

There is no nexus between mass gun violence and "white" male literature, obviously. It's just being used by the writer as a means of tearing down something she dislikes.

Sure, but you're considering the real reason for Hamlet's sperg out - it's a fine interpretation though I think I'll disagree on the misogyny part, or at least I think it needs some qualifications.

However, what I was quoting, concerns the perceived reason for his madness - "those around him find natural to assume" - and Claudius, Gertrude and Polonius think it is unrequited love for Ophelia. The fact that the writer of the drivel that OP is referring doesn't care to distinguish between unrequited love and sexual frustration tells quite a bit about her own misandric views. There's no room for men who love (sometimes unsuccessfully) in her interpretation of Hamlet, it's all sexual frustration. That's a view that reduces men to the level of dumb beasts and plays directly into a hypermasculine narrative about men only wanting to spread their seed as far and wide as possible, who consider feelings to be gay.

I'm actually fairly sure this isn't what she intended, it's just that her laughably shitty reasoning and "subtle" links isn't thought through at all, and when you do that, the article gets even shittier. I dislike these debates on internet feminism. I always feel dirty after participating, and I do not believe there are any winners.
