“feminism is not a monolith” is trotted out only when it looks like feminism or feminists might be held responsible for the things they say and do

Counterexample: “Feminism is not your expectation”, which is written in order to try to convince people that You Too May Be A Feminist, as I put it in the comments there and then.

1) I’ve never been motivated to date/sex a girl on the basis it would make me appear high-status. I have been motivated not to date a girl on the basis it would make me look low status though, i.e. if I date her, people might think I’m at her level (mate-value wise) and this could harm my reputation and hence my ability to get a more attractive mate.

2) I have never been motivated to date/sex a woman by the belief that “if I can dominate that, that proves I have power”. The thought seems as alien to me as finding an inanimate object, like a piece of wood, sexually attractive. Until now, I, like the commenter above me, thought all mens sexual attraction triggers worked the same as mine.

*Of note I ascribe to Heartistian/red-piller ideology, so here’s a little thought experiment, see if that little tid-bit of information changes your perception of my comment above. All of it is true. And if it does change your perception, then that is interesting.

I shall…

Okay, number 1)

There isn’t mention of Heartiste’s Racist (or as man-0-sperians call it “Race Realist”) views. Granted, this article may be about “sexuality” and race may be seen by some as a separate topic. However, as they come up in many of his articles and even more in the comments section, they are obviously a huge part of his so called “worldview” and any article that doesn’t mention this is not even coming close to telling the full story.

I have been critical of Paul Elam for linking to Inmalafide. (In full disclosure, I had written articles that appeared there.) My accusations were not that Elam is a racist, but that it was a bad judgement call to allow himself to be linked to a site that had been overrun by White Nationalists.

So I think it is a huge blindspot to not mention this in the above article.

Blindspot #2)

Something very common among feminist writers is that they rarely acknowledge that many men have a fair share of discomfort with the “initiator” role. A writer named Alek Novy has written some amazing stuff on this. The only PUA that I have seen deal with this topic honestly is Good Looking Loser.

I could go on but I’ll end it here…

There’s nothing in the entirety of that paragraph that states that he believes his conclusions only apply to his patients–to claim that he meant that even when he didn’t say it seems disingenuous.

Furthermore, he suggests, in this essay and others, that if his female patients bring prospective boyfriends to him he will immediately tell them if they are violent–this despite the fact that these new boyfriends presumably won’t be his patients. So it seems quite clear that he does think his predictions are valid for the general population.

The third link in the comment you replied to referred to searches for “skinny” girls. They’re surprisingly rare, but a market does seem to exist.
