Hey guys..

This may keep you up at night.

How much does it cost to be free?

About £150 a week. Do you think you could find £150?

Cost of Ryanair ticket to most European destinations- £3.50 to £12.00 each way. (£12x2=£24)

Cost of basic hostel with own room. Central location and no extras. £12.00 per night. (£12x5=£60)

TOTAL £84.

The remainder will be spending money.

This budget will give you the freedom of about 200 cities. In other words you could travel for four years without repeating yourself.

How would you fund it? Could you save £150 a week? Most people could.

Work one year- take one year off.

Well. You would be half free. A good start.

Why are you not free?

You are probably intelligent, young and energetic. The cream of your generation.

Why are you not free?

Freedom is never free. The free lion must find his own food while the tame lion is fed by the keeper. Some people are simply unfit to be free lions. They pace about their cages and roar.. but they pass up the chance of escape.

I think we remain trapped because the cage is safe and comfortable. We will become free when we would rather die than remain a captive. This is when we become a wild lion.

Each individual must decide for themselves if they are a tame lion or a free lion.

Some men are emotionally unsuited to freedom. Many men have a psychological need to be dominated by women. They are natures providers and naturally gravitate towards a woman who will control him and make him feel needed.

Other men have a great need for certainty and comfort. Others are excessively fearful.

Only you know how much you desire freedom. The greatest struggle will take place within your own heart.

I will tell you something shocking.

You are exactly where you want to be.

You are a captive because you allow it. Do you really think that you could be held against your will?

Of course you would have to give things up to be free. The question remains the same.

Are you a free lion or a tame lion?

How can we create a society that is not based upon debt?

What would it look like?
Liberalism shares many things with Fascism. The economic policies of Obama and Brown are essentially identical to those of Mussolini.

We find that the Liberal left in both countries is now MORE anti Semitic than Mussolini was when he came to power.

What does it all mean?
The Liberal Myth.

Liberals are not evil people. They have simply become lost in a maze of their own creation. I will try to pick this apart in a series of articles called The Liberal Myth.
There is a new ideology developing on sites such as this. Something entirely new that has no name.

How about calling this new ideology the New Ideology?

Doing it!

The MGTOW movement has always been blessed with good writers- but the best voices tend to fall silent after a while and often take down their own blogs.

Why does this happen? What does it tell us?

The bloggers themselves almost always say that they are tired of the negativity of the movement. This is interesting as MGTOW does not appear negative when a man first comes across it. The movement can appear as a lifeboat in a stormy sea and a confirmation that he is not going mad.

And yet...

And yet...

The movement is founded upon a negative- not letting women rule your life. It has also developed a range of optional bolt ons.

One of these is the idea that society is doomed and should not be saved. The only thing a man can do is to build his own log cabin and chop wood on a hillside.

I exaderate of course.

I have also written a few apocaliptic articals of this sort myself- predicting the collapse of the banking system and destruction of debt thought the economy. I saw this as a good thing!

Civilization will survive. It always has.

The most common way we lose people is that they join the Ghost Nation full time. This (in their view) means being free and not associatiating with people who are not.

The problem with this approach is that it is... negative. It is a strategy of retreat.

This may be the best option for them but.. how are we to make it work for others?

One solution is outlined in a new project. Englishman Online.

This is a re framing of MGTOW as a positive force.

Let me explain.

For men.

OLD FRAME

Men are the subject of discrimination and have lost the game in mainstream society. The solution is to retreat into ourselves or to Asia.

NEW FRAME

We can begin the construction of a new world without waiting for approval.

1) Learn to live cheaply but well. Appreciate art, literature and a hundred other free things. Understand what is important.

2) Re form male friendship.

3) Do not become a slave to the dollar. Life is more important.

For women.

OLD FRAME

MGTOW are not atractive to women. They are bitter and possibly dangerous. Many are failures in life.

NEW FRAME

MGTOW are rebels. We treat women as equals because we do not worship them. We always have something interesting to do. We do not become clingy or emotionaly dependent upon women.

I will demonstrate that it is possible to be free.

21 January 2009

If any of you guys would like to meet me I spend Tuesdays and Thursdays at my stockbroker from 9am to about 10am. If I am not there I will be across the road at the Pendrels Oak eating an English breakfast.

The address is 71 Mid City place on High Holborn in London. The broker (TD Waterhouse) has a shop front and is set up as a coffee shop so you can walk right in.

The Feminist Personality.

It is interesting to study feminists closely (one needs a degree of emotional detatchment to do this as they are venimous creatures). After a while one becomes aware that they have a particular 'smell' to them. This is not a literal smell (authough it can be) but a sort of stench of death that they bring to everything they touch. Let us look at these symptoms a little closer if we dare.

It should be noted that not every person who calls themselves a feminist actually suffers the disorder. If one wishes to pursue a career in the public sector one needs to call oneself a feminist in order to survive. The great majority of such people show none oof the symptoms listed here.

With the feminist, nothing grows.

Feminists generaly have a great deal of disposable income as they have undemanding government jobs and have small families. They trust the state to care for them in old age and spend what they earn.

Despite this there is an artlessness in the way they dress. They can spend a thousand pounds on an outfit and make it look cheap. The same aplies to their living quarters- no matter how much they spend it never bceomes a home. It takes a feminine woman to do this.

If shuch a woman has children, they will often appear listless and exausted yet at the same time they are restless and unable to settle. Very ofthen this results in chronic medical symptoms and personality disorders. Almost every anorexic and almost every child suffering from ADD comes from a home blighted by femininism. These illnesses were unknown before feminism arrived. In fact almost every chronic mental disorder may be traced back to an unhealty family background.

The mind of a growning child may be literaly pulled apart by selctive love. A feminist mother can never love unconditionaly because she is always moulding a child to fit an ideology. The child spends their entire childhood tiptoeing across a minefield. Almost anything a healthy boy or girl may wish to do could be seen as a steriotype and result in withdraw of love and aproval. If a boy loves adventure and battle then he will be seen as potential monster. If a girl goes through a 'princess' phase she will be treated as a victim. In this way the child learns they are not OK and will become gradualy sick.

Magical thinking.

Magical thinking is the confusion of thoughts with reality. When a person believes that thinking particular thoughts can change reality 'by magic' then they are engaged in magical thinking.

All young children use magical thinking, and it is only at the age of two that the child realises that other people have different ajendas. This comes as a great shock to the child and results in tantrums 'the terrible twos'.

The healthy indiviidual leaves magical thinking behind them but may return to it when under stress or drunk. The worse his mental health becomes the more he will engage in it.

If we were to find ourselves cast adrift on a leaky ship in a storm, we would all engage in magical thinking in one form or another. Some of us would pray, others would think 'positive' thoughts about rescue and so on. Nevertheless, a sane person continues to to fire distress flairs and man the bildge pumps while they are doing this.

Feminists are more like children than adults in that they engage in magical thinking most of the time. They believe that they can deny reality by repeating absurd dogmas. They relate to men and the state in exactly the same way that a child relates to Father Christmass. They think that they will be showered with gifts simply because they ask.

A child will blame their parents if bad weather spoils a day out to the beach. This is because the child believes the parents to be God. Feminists believe that men are God in exactly the same way. They make men responsible for every aspect of their messed up lives because they cannot accept we are not all powerful. They go around loudly claiming that men are useless (because we cannot reach into their heads and make them happy) while secretly believing us to be God.

Zero sum thinking.

Feminists believe life is a zero sum game. If they can make men suffer- this automatically benefits women. Equally, if they are suffering in their mixed up private life, it must be because a man is benefiting from it.

Stunted and immature emotional response.

Feminists typically have a very limited range of emotions to draw upon. This usually consists of victim hood, revenge and boredom. They take no pleasure in the texture of life and have shallow interpersonal relationships because other people are not truly 'real' to them. Feminists do not experience other people as human beings but as bit players in a film in which they are the star. These 'non people' may be destroyed or made to suffer for the feminists enjoyment or amusement without pity. The only pity a feminist can feel is for herself.

Created memory.

Feminists will often create memories from their own imagination in order to justify the hatred they feel towards other people and their sense of victim hood and entitlement. The feminist is then capable of believing in these fantasies as if they were real memories.

05 October 2008

Many good blogs have disappeared these last few months, and some of the bloggers blame the intelligence services.

This usually takes the form of a very obvious and hamfisted surveillance operation. Most commonly the target will pick up their phone and here their own voice played back to them. I know that this happens but will go no further into it.

How should we react?

It is clear that this is not real surveillance. The playing back of conversations has been going on since the late eighties at least and I refuse to believe the security services would make such simple mistakes. It is possible to buy better equipment in the innovations catalogue! No. It can only be a warning of some kind.

Two questions flow from this.

a) How seriously should we take the warnings?

b) What should we do about them?


MI5 claim that they are subject to the law. This is obviously not quite true because mass surveillance would be impossible under strictly legal conditions. We are told that only a judge can authorise a wire tap and yet we are also told that every site we visit and every telephone call we make must be recorded by the ISP and telephone company. The contents of our calls are not recorded, of course. Only the fact that we have made them.

This amounts to a surveillance operation upon the entire nation.

I am pretty sure that neither MI5 nor the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) carry out secret assassinations. The law does protect people fairly well in this respect.

It is far more likely that we see some string pulling going on within the establishment. My previous website was deleted without explanation and I am currently having a great deal of hassle with HM revenue and customs. In fact I have even had to give up full time work to deal with it.

There are alternative explanations for each occurrence. I guess that I will never really know for certain.

Perhaps this is the point of the operation. To drop a few doubts into the mind of the target and then let him invent a huge conspiracy against himself. So much easier than doing it themselves!

The real question is what we do about it.

Well..

I have nothing to hide. I welcome investigation. This is my letter to them.

I want them to get over their obsession with MRA's so that they can investigate terrorism.

Let us talk.

04 October 2008

It is easy to become exhausted.

I believe that exhaustion is the real reason so many good MGTOW blogs just disappear. The movement can seem liberating for a while because it tells us that we are not alone. Later on it can come to exaust us because the injustice is so unrelenting.

We may write like angels and all our words may be true- but still we get tired.

When we first wake up we wonder if there may be something wrong with us to see the world so differently to other people. Later on we wonder what is wrong with them!

So why do people believe things that are contrary to common sense? Why do intelligent people believe the world was created in a week? Why do sensitive male feminists believe that men are incapable of empathy when they obviously have so much of it themselves?

The desire to fit in is stronger than the desire for truth. It is even stronger than the desire for life itself. If you doubt this simply think of the Jonestown suicides or the more modern death cult of Radical Islam. These men are willing to give up their lives in a hopeless war so that other men can look up to them once they are dead.

It is not surprising that some of us get tired. We are the minority that puts truth before conformity. For this reason we need to look after one another a little better because nothing is going to change very quickly.

The media is gradually waking up to the idea that men might be human beings with feelings. It is a slow process, rather like watching a glacier thaw. We can see the sun shining on the monolith of liberal un thinkingness. We can see rivulets of water running into the ground- yet we cannot see the glacier melt. The only way we can know it is melting at all is by returning again and again. Each time we do so the ice has receded a little.

There is no need for us to rail against the darkness. The battle is being won in a hundred different ways. All we need to do is to maintain ourselves in a decent shape so that we are here when the spring arrives.

The media tell a thousand lies about us. None of this really matters. What matters is that we remain decent people and that others can see our decency despite everything.

Do this, and we will not only survive but win.

It is always pleasant to have ones prejudices confirmed- so here is a short instructional film that will make feminists happy!

28 June 2008

I am told there is a Jewish saying. 'Beware the weak.'

This is very good advice. If somebody takes it upon themselves to do you harm or to make you smaller or less confident than you are- you can be fairly sure this is a weak person at work.

Very often these weak, fear based ideologies spend a great deal of time trying to hide their weakness. The Nazis had their Nuremberg rallies where they could feel safe for a day or two. The remainder of the time they felt that they were under siege from powerful international forces and Jewish plots. Despite all of their bombast they were a victim ideology.

Nations, movements and individuals all follow these same rules- the weak are more dangerous than the strong.

Feminism is the ultimate victim ideology. They put great energy into believing themselves weaker than they are because if they realised they were the new ruling class they would have to take responsibility for their actions. It is tempting to believe feminists when they say they are 'strong' women. They bully, they make noise and they make the rest of us feel small whenever they can.

They have amassed great power- but they are weak within themselves. If they were not so weak they would feel comfortable in the company of strong men. In reality this fills them with terror and they have to diminish us.

The answer is stronger men and stronger woman. Feminist culture seeks to manufacture weak women by filling them with fear. The first road to their salvation is to realise that strong men are their friends.

You are afraid and you do not know it.

You are so afraid you dare not know it.

For proof, all you need to do is to take a train or a bus in any of the feminist countries.

Nobody dares look anyone else in the eye.

We have been fed fear to make us give our freedoms away. If you are a man, you cannot be caught looking at a woman for too long. You certainly cannot catch her eye. This is something only a rapist would do! Equally, you cannot look at a child or another man. Even men have bought the lie that men are dangerous beasts. Everything is made into sex and violence. Any man looking at another for too long must surely be gay.

Women have no more freedom than men in this regard. They are told that men are dangerous sex obsessed beasts. This means that women must control their natural curiosity when it comes to men. Feminist culture tends to reduce all human intercourse to sex. Every expression of interest becomes a sexual invitation. It becomes safer to look at the floor of the carriage with the blank dead eyes of a corpse.

All of these behaviours are born of state inspired fear. There is no secret police force telling us that we cannot talk to one another. This was tried in Socialism 1.0 (the Soviet Union). The big weakness of this system was that it tended to bring people together. The moment the terror was lifted the people began to dismantle the system that created it.

Socialism 2.0 that we have in the West is a far more subtle affair. The state tells the people that they are free and then sprinkles fear everywhere it goes. Women are told they must be protected from men- so they vote for a Ministry of Women that promises to male them safe. All of us are bombarded every day with images of crime and violence- so that we willingly give up our freedom to be protected.

We have become so afraid that we do not even know we are afraid. Everything we do is based upon fear.

Due to previous bad experiences I have become rather afraid of women. In fact, I was not frightened of the women themselves but of their fear. Frightened Western women have lost the ability to enjoy male company because they are told every day that we are monsters. This makes them rude, aggressive, and just plane weird. We must remember that women who behave like this are not the true evil doers. The evil ones are the seekers after power who created this fear in the first place.

I have been trying to live without fear. This has involved talking to women as if they were normal people (which most are). So far this has only involved Polish and Lithuanian women (who have very little natural fear of men) but I will eventually do this with the indoctrinated Western variety as well.

So far I have found them feminine, strong, sexy and very friendly. I am enjoying my experiment very much.

Most of the nonsense we see in Western women comes from a deep terror and helplessness that was placed in them so that the feminists can rescue them from various imaginary threats.

I can see this very clearly because the most striking thing about Easten women (apart from their beauty and femininity) is their courage. This does not come from some Pollyanna ignorance (many have had hard lives) but from a self reliance that many Western women now lack.

From now on I work to reduce fear.

If you are a Londoner you will have noticed that the only Japanese tourists you ever see under seventy are female.

Where are all the younger men?

All the men are working to pay for the women's holidays!

In Japan it is common for men to hand their wages over to their wives. Family finances are completely controlled by the women with pocket money dolled out to the men as if they were children. In other words Japanese men are even more closely controlled than we are.

The difference is that Japanese women control their men with praise while Anglo American women do so with contempt. This means that the Japanese man makes the happier slave of the two- but he has less prospect of freedom as a result.

Japanese women are complete sweeties. They are quiet, polite, and do not beg for money. They are thoughtful in bed and will thank you afterwards- even if you have not been that good.

When I am free of the Matriarchy I will spend a day walking around London. I will shake the hand of each English woman I meet and thank her for treating me like a dog turd on the sole of her shoe. I would not have attained freedom without it.

One of the sillier charges feminism brings against men is that we are in favour of female circumcision. (The removal of parts of the vagina to reduce sexual pleasure in the female.)

Like many feminist arguments it is never stated openly. Feminists prefer to work on the level of innuendo by talking about it as if everyone were to blame but themselves.

The feminists do this by 'campaigning' against female circumcision. Why do they do this? Do they know any privileged middle class white women who are circumcised? No. So why bring the subject up? The feminists seek to convince us that men would like to circumcise women if feminists were not there to protect them!

If we look a little closer we see that it is women who insist upon it and men who generally oppose it.

Why might this be?

The reason is probably economic. Women have very little to sell to the world in many societies apart from their virginity and their value as mothers. This value is dependent upon them being able to resist the charms of men until the man comes up with a marriage proposal. Men and women will therefore engage upon an age old struggle in which the woman's greatest enemy is not the Patriarchy but her own sexuality.

Female circumcision is therefore not a male conspiracy but a female one!

Nevertheless I see no point in men 'campaigning' against it because we have no way changing it. The practice will gradually die out as it becomes easier for unmarried women to support themselves- and this generally comes with industrialisation.

Feminism and female circumcision are actually twin sisters of one another. Female circumcision seeks to increase the bargaining power of women by reducing their sexuality. Feminism does the same thing by making heterosexuality dirty and by turning women towards lesbianism.

It is the same basic scam. There is nothing new under the sun.

The World between the Worlds.

As a child I was a great fan of CS Lewis and the Narnia books (the Christian subtext passed me by at the time). In one of the books there was a world known as the World between the Worlds- this was a silent place, a sort of crossroads from which it was possible to travel between an infinite number of worlds.

I had an experience that reminded me of this world during my divorce. It did not (unfortunately) involve magic lions or talking beavers but in its own way was a transforming and moving experience. It was also the day that the matriarchy almost got me.

It was one of those fantastically quiet and bright days when even the grass and the trees seemed to be waiting for something to happen. There was no wind and only a slight mist to obscure the crisp sunlight. This gave everything an unreal air as if it were nothing but a painted backdrop.

I was depressed at the time, and yet even my own spirits were raised a little by this day. It was a day of possibilities, of new beginnings.

I was exhausted to the core of my bones. I had given every ounce of my strength into maintaining a relationship with a woman who was becoming more and more ill. I had been denied proper sleep for many months due to the constant dramatics and had also become overwhelmed by the chaos that she brought into every aspect of my life- all of which had to be dealt with by me as she was completely irresponsible.

Finally things were looking up. She had assaulted a police officer and was on the run from the police for a while in relation to another offence. Furthermore she had been placed on list 99 due to a series of sexual assaults upon children of both sexes. Unfortunately the removal of immediate danger was the signal for my body to collapse into a deep state of exhaustion. She was able to obtain legal assistance to launch a whole series of legal attacks that had only one real purpose- to cause expense. I was denied any legal advice or representation and had to discover the law myself.

This was because I was on a low wage and therefore unable to pay for a lawyer while she was refusing to support herself in the hope this would increase her divorce settlement.

I therefore had to face experienced lawyers without even knowing the law- all while suffering a serious illness.

It was on one visit to the county court when I had my ‘world between the worlds’ experience. I wandered into the wrong area of the courtroom where men were waiting to pay fines for minor criminal offences. The atmosphere here was almost festive. The majority of the men there (almost all were men) seemed to be career criminals. They swapped stories about prison and their latest adventures. Suddenly this began to seem attractive.

Matriarchy offers men a devils bargain. It offers freedom from responsibility, casual sex without parental responsibilities and relieves the man of any duty to behave as a man. This can be very attractive if life has kicked you in the guts and you are rolling on the floor in pain. The downside is that it steals your soul- all the strong and decent qualities that make up a man and a father.
The matriarchy invites self pity. It tells you it is OK to be weak, to cry and live off others. The only real crime is to judge another person.

Matriarchy destroys men. It makes us criminals- but it relieves us of responsibility as it does so. I came very close to joining the matriarchy that day. I stood outside of the courthouse for a long time, feeling the silence of that silver morning, feeling myself free to take whatever course I chose.

One of the ways in which Maria had managed to abuse me was to turn my ‘patriarchal’ sense of right and wrong against me. She had me rescuing her even as she dragged me to hell. It was tempting to release myself from all right and wrong and simply go with the flow. Right and wrong were simply not factors a family court takes into account. The family court system in the UK runs a ‘no fault’ divorce system while at the same time blaming the man for everything. Wherever we see feminism we also see the death of right and wrong. It seemed to me as I stood there that I had simply been the fall guy for feminism and that my sense of ethics were nothing but a weakness. Perhaps I should become a criminal if this is what the feminist state rewards?

I am not sure how long I stood there, but I remember saying to myself ‘let me do the right thing.’ Shortly after this I filed my papers and went home.

In fact I did decide to remain within the patriarchy. I supported myself and dragged myself from depression through strength of will. I even fought my divorce on the grounds of right and wrong- even though feminism has abolished it.

And I won.

Sometimes I wonder if that thing that I said to myself ‘let me do the right thing’ was in fact a prayer to the God I do not believe in.

I have no idea where the strength came from. Perhaps the patriarchal God replied.

Sometimes people change when they finally admit to themselves that they lack the strength to do anything for themselves. From that day onwards I have worked to loosen the claws and hooks that the matriarchy embedded deep within me. Each time I do this I become stronger, more decent, more moral. More of a Man.

Perhaps I will pray more often.

Celebrate Russian Orthodox Christmas this year.

Russians celebrate Christmas on January the seventh. Think how much money we could all save if we were to move to the same date? Some stores are already promising seventy percent of off in the January sales!

Believe it or not this is the sort of thing a Man Going his Own Way would do. By ignoring social pressure he saves money, avoids debt and becomes free.

Ho Ho Ho!

Long live Patriarch Christmas! Everything a feminist hates and fears in men. First, he is emotionally buoyant and lives on his own. A true Man Going his Own Way!


Second, he loves children. This simply will not do in a world where fathers cannot see there own children. This man is loved by millions!!


Third, he commits the offence of 'blandishment'. The secret family courts in the UK consider it wrong for a father to give gifts to his children in order to 'buy' their love. Well... Patriarch Christmas will just ignore them!


Fourth. He is often assisted by glamorous female elf's. Feminists suspect some sort of sexual harassment is going on but cannot do a thing about it!


Ho Ho Ho.

24 December 2007

One stick the feminists hit us with is to compare us to other patriarchs. In Bangladesh there is the disgusting custom of throwing acid in the face of women. In Afghanistan, the movements of women is severely restricted while honor killings occur in the Asian community in the UK.

All of these are horrible, horrible crimes but I feel no need to apologise for them.

This is because I rephrase the question. I do not ask if these societies are patriarchal (they are only partially so). I ask if the men who do these things are Men Going Their Own Way.

Clearly they are not.

The acid throwers are weak men who cannot face life without the woman they claim to love (but clearly do not).

The Afghan men believe they are protecting women and think it is there role in life to save them from temptation.

Honor killers base their self esteem on the actions of women. All three groups live lives in the shadow of women one way or another. Their honor, happiness and everything else is bound up with the conduct of women.

It is weakness, not strength that makes them controlling.

The Man Going his Own Way on the other hand is the best friend a woman could have. He is only likely to be attracted to women he genuinely likes and respects. He is neither a sex addict nor an approval addict. Neither does he need to prove that he is a 'real man' by sleeping with lots of woman.

The error of feminism is to be afraid of strong men. In reality we should all be afraid of the weak.


Merry Christmas! The Blog is back.

I have now completed the editing of all previous posts (only two were deleted) so please read the back catalogue.

I have very few readers- but they tend to come back often and stay a long time.

Thank you everyone!!

The Equal Parenting Alliance http://www.equalparentingalliance.com/ continues to do well. The point of this new political party is not to get elected but to keep the issue of equal parenting alive.




The party does not even need to convince the public that change is needed- they are totally behind us. All the party needs to do is keep the issue alive.


They recently fought two campaigns for the grand sum pf £1500 (less than a woman's studies 'professor' probably 'earns' in a week.)

As long as the issue is openly discussed, we will win.

Feminists have well funded lobbying groups that would prefer to brief ministers in secret. This is why every form of secrecy and evasion should be fought.

The best way to keep the issue public is to insist that it be discussed at election time. There is really only one way the argument can go.

The death of public harassment.

There was a fashion in the 1980’s for feminists to wage their little war against men on the Tube (London slang for the subway). Like most fads in feminism it was based upon projection as believed that men are engaged in a war against them.

Some time around the middle 80's I became aware of stickers being placed on the London Underground with slogans such as ‘women’s city is coming’ or 'take back the night' showing a topless woman holding a castration tool. One such sticker clearly had a razor blade placed beneath it so that anyone who tried to remove it would be hurt. I was sympathetic to feminism at the time so disregarded it- but still felt uncomfortable at the implicit violence of the message. I realise now that the purpose was not to make women more comfortable but to make everyone else afraid.

One thing that confused the feminists was the fact that male and female body language differs.- Male body language was assumed to be somehow evil yet was slavishly imitated.

When a man and a woman look into one another’s eyes it is usually the woman who looks away. This is natural because a long intense gaze is a sexual signal. By looking away she signals her lack of interest in sex with him. It has nothing to do with submission.

Feminists love to get involved in subjects they do not understand (of which there are many!) and therefore got involved with the 1980's fad of using body language. There were a number simplistic books on body language that were popular at the time. Feminists would look these gestures up and notice that eye contact was a sign of social dominance. Most feminists are not that bright and so they took these gestures and applied them all the time- staring at men like mad women until the men looked away. In this way they could deceive themselves that they had achieved social dominance when all they had done is mark themselves out as dangerously mad. They forgot that the main purpose of communication is to reach agreement. They would go out in groups and try to out stare men they met on railway carriages to gain dominance over them. The only man these women could ever feel at ease with was a cowed and broken one. They set out to make men as uncomfortable as possible because they were weak and damaged women.

Groups of women would set out on the tube and stare at a man in the most threatening way imaginable. If the man looked away and read his paper they would close the gap between them and him until they were inches from his face.

This threatening behaviour was justified on the grounds that the man was just getting a taste of his own medicine. Feminists feel threatened by even the most gentle man and often talk themselves into a genuine state of fear. The next step is to intimidate these men so that they feel the same level of fear that she has talked herself into.

Another variation of this was to pinch a man’s bottom or grab his genitals. This happened to me once and it was intended to be painful rather than sexual.
