Nice Planet 13: This Planet Sucks

Re: Nice Planet 13: This Planet Sucks

Not sure where else to put this. A software engineer at Google wrote a stereotypical MRA-esque manifesto that leaked out over the weekend, basically bashing Google's diversity efforts and claiming biological differences are why women are underrepresented at Google and tech companies generally. The backlash has since created an anti-backlash backlash within and external to the company.

You can't fix stupid. The MRA/MGTOW/PUA bro-douche crowd (most of whom are losers playing an Internet character), along with their sworn enemies - the kind of feminists who see rape culture, phallic symbols, and male domination in everything - are both dumb as sticks.

Can't tell the players without a scorecard.

The spectacularly clueless victimhood of these snowflakes is delicious.

The latter are almost entirely a mythic projection of the various sexual and intellectual inadequacies of the former. There are a few sophomores at the Usual Suspect schools but nobody laughs at them harder than mature feminists, including the actual faculty of women's studies programs. Dr. Mrs. is one such, I'm another, and we and our friends roll our eyes just as much as the rest of you.

It doesn't really matter how they divide themselves up. MGTOW and MRA tend to go hand-in-hand from what I've seen - that guy in high school who existed on the fringe, didn't go to prom, but finally got an average-looking, immature girlfriend in college. She then dumped him after 2-3 years because she matured and realized he was going nowhere in life (women always learn this sooner than men do). He won't admit it was his fault for being uninteresting, lazy, and generally having nothing to offer in a relationship. So he blames her, gets sucked into the MGTOW/MRA thing, and eventually conditions himself to distrust (MGTOW), or even flat-out hate (MRA) women.

PUAs are a little different, since the famous ones are smart/outgoing/interesting enough to make money off the snake oil they sell. They're just as immature as their MGTOW and MRA brethren though, because their "routines" and "methods" only work on the equally immature, dumb women that you tend to find in clubs and bars.

At the end of the day though, you are correct that the bro-douche/"red pill" cult is a lot larger than the man-hating feminist cult.

No disrespect intended to this blogger, but some kid in his late twenties or early thirties who had his heart ripped out by the first girl he banged and then spent the next untold amount of months reading internet sites like "solvemygirlproblems" is the last guy we should be citing to for erudite analysis of male psychology.

You guys sound as lame as anyone that tries to put people into silos and are regularly ripped for it from the left.
 
Re: Nice Planet 13: This Planet Sucks

So I read the document this morning. He's not entirely wrong. He makes some really stupid comments that have probably been the focus of the backlash. But buried in it are some good points.

Firing him instead of engaging him just confirms a lot of what he was saying.

Though, I suppose you could make an argument that firing him is exactly what he's arguing in favor of: De-emphasize compassion and engagement and look at the dollars and cents. :D

I'm strongly in favor of ensuring women have a stronger place in leadership positions. We need to get the national average of women on boards up. How we get there is the debate worth having. Which I think is what he was getting at. The problem is he didn't see that there are some "sacrifices" (I can't think of a better word right now) we need to make in order to get there.
