Amanda fears white slavery:
I mulled over and mulled over this nauseating article by Vox Day where he makes a list of things women must do if they want to get married, a list that is so disturbing by the end of it I’m worried about my female friends that are married, even though I know for a fact they pretty much have lived their entire lives differently from how they were instructed by Vox–as far as I know, that is. There was that real worry–are their generally normal and kind-seeming husbands reallly crazy Mormon-style patriarchs with a backroom full of child brides? Married women I know seem to have education and jobs–I swear I’ve even seen some read and write!–but apparently, that can’t be true since those things screw your chances from day one. But then I realized that my real problem with his essay wasn’t even the batshit craziness of it. It was the fact that he thinks that women looking at marriage don’t do a cost-benefit analysis.
Yes, Amanda, because most executives with economics degrees are unfamiliar with cost-benefit analysis. Brilliant stuff. Indeed, Amanda betrays her own apparent unfamiliarity with the basic economic concept of opportunity cost. None of my advice was intended for women who want to devote their lives to themselves and their cats, it was for women who desire marriage and children and do not understand how they have been misled by the Sisterhood into risking their opportunity to have both. Except for a few of the long-term demographic implications, I quite like how a significant percentage of feminist professionals have turned themselves into evolutionary dead-ends.
Of course, it goes without saying that Vox’s other problem is thinking that all men require that their mates be cringing, invisible, miserable child brides. That’s demonstrably not true, but even if it were, it is silly to think that with 99% of women opting out, men wouldn’t be slightly willing to compromise in order to at least get laid. But I think I know why Vox is so insistent on pretending that it’s only women that want and need companionship and that men have to offer nothing in return on relationships. It’s all about the money, baby.
Yes, it’s shocking to assert that most women do prefer high status men, as they have throughout all of human history. Spacebunny is not cringing, invisible or miserable, indeed, she is a beautiful and cultured woman in whose presence Amanda would surely be all but invisible. A lack of desire for a career-focused bitch who can’t find the time to go to the gym or bear your children is no indication of a desire for a female slave of any color. It’s also interesting to note that Amanda considers women between the ages of 18 and 25 to be “child brides”. I would imagine this is because she’s still a child herself, intellectually speaking.
As most of you probably know by now, the supposed “libertarian” Vox Day is actually a spoiled rich brat named [Tom Riddle]. And of course he’s never had to work hard for a day in his life–the delusion that one could be completely self-reliant in a libertarian paradise pretty much requires that you’ve never had to rely on yourself for anything, or it would fall to pieces. But the important thing to remember here is that [Riddle] is rich as shit, and he’s rich in a society where those rare women willing to trade in complete submission for marriage go to the highest bidder. You everyday misogynist slobs who listen to Vox’s bullshit about what you supposedly deserve and will get from a woman–cringing servitude–pay very close attention. Vox can buy that sort of self-hating woman. You can’t.
This is amusing. First, the notion that honesty, the application of logic and the direct pursuit of one’s priorities amounts to cringing servitude explains everything you need to know about Amanda’s childish rage and bitterness. Second, if Amanda or any of my other critics had actually done any digging instead of relying on the information of someone who falsely claimed to be working for me, they’d have come across an article written in the early 1990’s by Mike Wechsler of Computer Gaming World, wherein two individuals are credited with developing the concept of using 3D CAD hardware to accelerate computer game software. One of those names is Chris Taylor of Microsoft (formerly Electronic Arts), and the other is the aforementioned [Tom Riddle]. More digging would reveal that the second name is also the original holder of the “3D Blaster” trademark.
I may not have done as well as another innovator from that era, my erstwhile rival Jensen Huang, but I did well enough, thank you very much. You see, the greatest earthly inheritance one can receive from a financially successful father is not money, it is the knowledge of how to go about building one’s own wealth.
It’s unfortunate, but unsurprising, that Amanda cannot understand I am not a secretly Republican social conservative, but a true libertarian instead. Not once have I advocated laws to control the social behavior of anyone, male or female; that sort of thing falls within the paradigm of feminist neofascists like Amanda. And as a libertarian, I’m pretty much indifferent to the ironic reality that some of those young women who read last week’s column will prefer to take advice on life and marriage from an unmarried feminist “cum-guzzling boozehound” instead of me. Fate can be unfair, to be sure, but more often than not we end up living the life we chose.
