Fascinating topic however, and I will be downloading the Kindle version. Thanks for the link.

I would have no problem banging her. Interesting article on her:

“I absolutely think there’s a war on men. I laugh and cringe every time I see something on the ‘war on women,’” says Smith.

“In the case of men, the government and the politicians work in cahoots with women to extract money from men,” Smith says.

"What has happened is that [a legitimate movement for equality] has morphed into a whole political system based on women having special privileges, and the more privileges they have the more entitled they feel.”

The book sounds like it would be a good, informative read. And from that pic, the only issue I'd have with the author is her lack of breasts. She's attractive enough in the face to get some.

Just read it. Well put together and of course the fact that its written by a chick gives it extra credibility.

Giving this book to a single blue pill bro would be the biggest favour you‘ll ever do him

I think writing women writers stand to make a lot of money defending the men's rights movements. If I was a hot female writer with a background in gender studies, that's where I'd focus my efforts.

RE: Men on Strike (book)
I got the Kindle version of Men on Strike and plan on reading/reviewing it soon enough, but the attention that Helen Smith's been getting for it is a prime example of the obnoxious pussy worship in the manosphere.

I have nothing against Smith---in fact, I used to be a regular reader of her blog---but countless men have been banging the drum on this for years. There have been god knows how many bloggers in the MRM, the manosphere, the MGTOW movement etc. that have written about everything in Men on Strike again and again and again, reworking the ideas, exploring them from every angle, doing statistical analysis and more for no other reason than because they want the truth to be known. And most of them did it in relative obscurity.

In steps Smith to piggyback off of these men's work, and guys drop to their knees in rapture. "OMG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!" "FINALLY A WOMAN WHO GETS IT!" Half of these fanboys don't know who Angry Harry or zed or Ragnar or Rob Fedders or F. Roger Devlin are, but they stumble like starstruck groupies to lick the clit of any woman who parrots Men's Rights 101.

The exact same pattern plays out in the manosphere again and again: subpar women bloggers get far more attention than they deserve because of all these supposedly "red pill" dudes who behave exactly like thirsty beta orbiters on a hot chick's Facebook page. Sunshine Mary posts nothing but reheated Dalrockisms and titillates her readers with stories of how she loves it when her alpha husband makes her get on her knees and suck his cock and gets 15,000 plus visitors a month. Compare to Red Pill Theory, a blog that features detailed deconstructions of feminist literature and ideas: 3,500 unique visitors a month.

It's gotten to the point where I refuse to read "red pill woman" bloggers, save for a couple who are actually interesting and well-written. I'm tired of seeing smart, hard-working guys get left in the dust while these "happily married housewives" get lavished with praise for being unoriginal cockteases. And after four years of screwed up manosphere groupie behavior, culminating in watching one of my fans divorce her husband so she could shack up with a manosphere blogger, I'm confident that any woman who is drawn to this part of the Internet of her own volition isn't playing with a full deck.

Again, nothing against Smith; she's probably one of the few "pro-male" women who has her head screwed on straight. But I'm not going to praise her just because she's anti-feminist.

RE: Men on Strike (book)
I mostly agree with you, Matt, but I do think Sunshine Mary is a better blogger than you think. She, along with Redpillwifey, are the only female-run manosphere blogs I read regularly.

Although, I do agree with your sentiment about the fanboys of Smith. Her blog is alright, but she really isn't a trailblazer of any stripe. She is very derivative - but you are right guys follow her blog just because she is a female with pro-male sentiments. I remember Sophia's blog - she got all that traffic because she was a woman. It wasn't any surprise she eventually posted pictures of herself and got tons of dudes complimenting her looks. She shut the blog down shortly thereafter.

It is sad that better manosphere blogs don't get more play, but also consider Smith's husband is Glenn Reynolds, so she probably gets a good bit of traffic from that connection.

In the end, most guys are simps. No matter much we bang on utilizing game, most guys just will stay being clit-licking simps heaping mindless amounts of approval onto women.

RE: Men on Strike (book)
While this may all be true you can't blame the women. You have to blame human nature and our incessant need for novelty. If a Black person writes about racism no one cares because it's expected. If a white woman writes about it, it would also get a lot more attention because she is more likely to be objective and because she is NOT part of the group she is writing about. Same as if you wrote a review of yourself on here, it wouldn't have any validity. Men writing about men, simply cannot have the same validity as women writing about men because it would be expected of them.

Personally, I don't care how the message gets out there as long as it does.

RE: Men on Strike (book)
Sunshinemary does have some good stuff quite regularily, especially if one is a religious christian. I'm not sure she ever titallated her readers with her sex life. (At least from what I've read). Her stuff IS well written. Thing is women do have a valid red pill opinion to offer. It only proves the misogyny claim of the manosphere to bash women's red pill blogs for not being serious enough; they just have a different perspective.

I do recommend judgybitch.com, another antifeminist who's articles are sometimes super funny. I'm not sure if she considers herself "red pill", but an interesting perspective.

I've been wanting to gread the book the OP mentioned, maybe now is the time. Wink

Forney nailed it.

Why read a woman's red pill blog?

When did women become original thinkers?

Reading a woman's blog = having mommy issues and needing a woman to validate you by saying, "It's OK, dear. You should feel the way you feel."

No thanks!

RE: Men on Strike (book)
By thinking that a woman's Red Pill views mean more than a man's, you are affirming a feminist left wing idea. That is the idea that objectivity is impossible. Red Pill either fits in better with the evidence or it doesn't. Period. Full Stop. What men or women or anyone thinks of red Pill is irrelevant. It's either true or not.

Do not fall into the trap of thinking that if someone who has something to lose by believing in something that that something is more likely to be true if that someone believes it.

You are buying a fundamental feminist tenet.

Women will infiltrate any group where they can get male attention with the least amount of effort.

The manosphere is such a sausage party that a woman can put up a 50 pixel thumbnail that hints to her not being a beast and she will get hundreds of hits on a blog that has horrible content.

Agreed, these women are as insincere and self-serving as any white knight.

The thing that sets this book apart, is that as well as calling out many of the most obnoxious anti-male fem-cunts, the author makes a point of accrediting much of the book’s insight to Manospere heavy weights such as Roissy and Vox Day.

While it’s true that 99.999% of books on this subject by women (and men for that matter) are steaming piles of crap, I think this one is worth a second look.

So last night I found redpilltheory because of this post. I read 4 or 5 articles and then went to bed. Today I try to access the site and it's been taken down.

Fuck.

The one thing about any liberal movement I hate is shitting on allies.

She's trying to be helpful. Whether or not she has original ideas, big breasts, etc.

I'd rather have some chicks on our side than not. Let her join the party, give her some respect, and let our lesser omegas salivate over her looks.

Interview up at PJM (audio + transcript):

http://pjmedia.com/eddriscoll/2013/06/17...epage=true

Interesting quote:

Quote:"If I talk to women, they sometimes don’t understand. Like what I’ll do with women, if they talk to me a little bit, and I’ll say — they’ll tell me — they think my book — they’ll hear — if they ask what it’s about and I say men or strike or why men — I just tell them it’s why men don’t want to get married, and they think, oh, I’m a — oh, it’s a psychologist writing a cute book about how to help me learn how to rope a man, or something.

And in truth, it’s — that’s the antithesis of what the book’s about. The book is all about why, you know, from a political and legal standpoint, men don’t want to get married anymore.

But what I ask women, and even men sometimes is I’ll say to them, name me, you know five reasons — five legal reasons, men should get married. Now, I understand the psychological ones. You know, they want — they want to be with a certain woman, they love this person, of course. But I say name me five legal reasons, and honestly, I’ve not had one yet that could."

Most men just want a mother figure who pretends to understand. All their gossiping and whining on manosphere is for that.

Do guys really want a mother figure?

I am guessing this is just guys who never had a good relationship with their mums?

I have always gotten on well with my mum - and I just can't imagine wanting some kind of subsitute mother in a partner.

One is bad enough.

But then again - I am a card carrying MGTOW. I think if your partner is not at least a '9' - you should ditch her and spend your cash on hookers and booze. Walking through the streets and seeing couples is always confusing for me. In about 95% of the cases I would feel suicidal waking up next to that each day.
