I just got done reading The Principles of Social Competence.
Has anyone else on here read it? Aside from all the misogyny there's definitely some valuable information in regards to getting your life together that I feel applies to both genders.

>Addressing your poor social skills requires more than just changing your wardrobe or learning how to say ‘cool’ things. Before you can develop a practical view of social interaction, your own delusional perspective must be exposed. Thus, it’s necessary to examine the natural laws that govern all social interactions.

Yeah, all the misogyny really is a turn off. The self improvement parts are what I found valuable.

>These damaging effects can be felt in all areas of life, especially when men try to lead social interactions with women. Instead of respecting this male duty, women will attempt to subvert male authority by degrading male social status. As a result, condescending remarks about lack of friends, lack of social savvy, unattractive appearanceor desperation are not uncommon. Such women often condemn male greetings by refusing to make eye contact or offering sarcastic, insulting remarks.

Their ways=Domination. I've had female employees harass me because i made them horny, fucking attention whores. I treated them fairly. I actually had one get me in front of a union complaints panel. I fucked her at a house party I gave two weeks later and hardly spoke to her at all at work after that, problem solved. BTW she was a shitty lay and I wasn't attracted to her.

I'm reading this right now OP. I knew there was a reason I never did like oprah. Here's a quote:
Feminism even teaches women how to lie
more effectively
53
. A recentarticle from Oprah’s website encourages women to use deceptionby providing “54 Ways to Get Out of Doing Anything You Don’t Wantto Do.” The article offers 54 sample lies, distortions and excusesto use in various social situations
54
. For example, instead of simplysaying no to a request, the article coaches them to make up imaginaryexcuses. This deceptive advice is readily accepted by women desiringto feel good about themselves no matter what the cost.

There is another dynamic that you should be aware of, and that is gender politics in self-defense. When I tell someone that the most important thing a young woman can do to avoid being raped is to avoid places with lots of young men (and if you absolutely have to go to such a place don't drink.) The dumb responses range from, "Girls have a right to have fun" to "You're just blaming the victim" all the way up to the ludicrous, "A woman should have the right to walk naked into a biker bar and not be bothered." These are political ideals. They might even be the way the world should work. They are not the way the world actually works.
The responsibility for self-protection has to rest with the potential victim because the potential rapist has no interest whatsoever in her safety or rights. The potential victim is the one who cares. Counting on the people who don't care to do the right thing makes no sense at all. I have seen some very, very bad advice given to support an ideal of the world, even if it endangered the student.
