Why is reading considered a feminine hobby? All literature has been historically been written by males (yes there are a few exceptions from the industrialization period and forward)

Very dumb, intellectually dishonest opinion. Disregard.
>>13011275
At least an attempt at finding actual truth.

I think that it's because men are supposed to be experiencing life for themselves, experimenting, seeing what works and what doesn't. Men are not supposed to get lost in literature, to escape their reality. They are supposed to embrace it, fight with it, perhaps transform it, but not ignore it. Men read books to learn about things, to entertain themselves, but they never associate themselves with reading books, unlike women, because they have much more important things to care about. Books are not an essential part of their personality, just a way to achieve their goals. For women, of course, the story is completely different.

Very wrong. There are many actual men in this world. Many of whom, sadly, happen to be niggers. That is why so many women are attracted to niggers. As for white men, you can mostly find them in eastern europe. Or poor regions of western countries. You will notice the fetish for poor, rural men even in the media. There are a lot of movies where rural men get together with city women, that is merely a symptom of this issue. People, consciously or unconsciouly, recognize that urban men have ben utterly emasculated, and you're right about that. Just that not all men live in cities.

You're right, I should've made the distinction that I meant urban men, which includes 100% of the people posting here

You are honeslty an idiot if you think that. Plato talked about how artists should be deported from his polis, because they have too much power to corrupt people's minds through their artistic rhetoric. Imagine what would happen with the internet. It's so attractive, so shiny. Real men would instantly recognize the issue of the internet, and shun it, block it. Sure, they would probably not block sites like wikipedia, but internet is much more(or rather less), than wikipedia itself, and you know it. It's basically heroin. No idea how people still don't recognize it.

No no no, you totally don't get it. Third world peasants have the access to the internet, that's true, but their drives and psyche are fundamentally different from urban, rich ones. They would never spend more than 2 hours a day just browsing reddit. When you do actual work, when you achieve the power process, as Kaczynski said, your priorities and needs change. Using internet doesn't automatically make you effeminate. However, with urban bugmen using internet only perpetuates the cycle, because they use it as a proxy of a power process, and end up only perpetuating the cycle of making themselves more and more effeminate. That is the nature of the modern decline of the western urban civilization.

No it's not worse, that's retarded. I am merely afraid of radical change, just like most urbanites. Don't you think urbanites realize they are getting more and more effeminate, consciously or subconsciously? I am equally pathetic to regular bugmen, but no more pathetic than them, until I decide to change my life. However, consciously and publicly acknowledging the problem is a step in the right direction.

Plato was doing a pretty controversial take. How much of a brainlet do you have to be to believe everything Plato wrote was the common sentiment among his contemporaries. The Athenians loved entertainment, Nietzsche was right in calling them "a people of actors".

Jesus fucking christ. Plato was one of the smartest men that lived, ever. Greeks held him as one of the most important thinkers ever, as do people nowadays. What does it matter that his views at the time were contraversial? I don't believe it was common knowledge at the time, just that he probably had the right idea in mind. What Plato said doesn't dispute the value of entertainment, just the danger of entertainment, which surely you realize. Also, you should probablty disregard anything that Nietzche said, solely because he was an effeminate loser in real life. Just read about his own life lmao. You will quickly realize that he is not worth looking seriously at, if you are reasonable enough to recognize that a person's philosophy is strongly correlated/determined by his own choices in life. Same holds for people like Stirner and so on. Just because they are considered greart philosophers in the modern world doesn't mean you should take them seriously haha.
>>13011442
Omg, no it doesn't lmao. How retarded can you be? I am speaking what I find to be true. I am still young, my life will probably change in dramatic ways later on.

Strong males don't avoid reading, just as I mentioned in my previous posts. It's just that, unlike women, strong men don't consider being a reader as part of their identity. It's merely a means to achieve their goals.

"Then be reasonable and do not mind whether the teachers of philosophy are good or bad, but think only of philosophy herself. Try to examine her well and truly and if she be evil seek to turn away all men from her, but if she be what I believe she is then follow her and serve her, and be of good cheer"

Right, and I agree with that. But if the philosophy seems pathological itself, it is a good thing to consider where it came from, i.e. the philosophers life itself. I am not a baboon, i am a human being. I never claimed that all philosophy should be judged by how the philospher has lead his life. Merely that if the life is really shitty, especially if the philosopher has made numerous consciously shitty life choices, you should question whether or not you want to take what the person had to say seriously. Learn to read, philistine.

there is no essence of masculinity you faggot. Men have evolved to do all sorts of random shit, some men act like psychopathic retards, some try to be extremely productive, it's all just more or less successful strategies to reproduce

Women have less variance because so little is asked of them, they never had any power to begin with, and whoever the strongest man is gets to tell them to open their legs. Mostly they just have to look good while theyre young and not let their babies starve
