Journal by aristarchus
Yet another aristarchus submission has met it's appointed fate. Nothing surprising, but, there was a non-blank rationale field, highly unusual!
We're sorry, your submission "This online comic shows how pick-up artists morphed into the alt-right" was declined for the following reason:
All hail the Supreme Gentleman! -takyonThe editors felt it inappropriate for them to correct the issue themselves. Please feel free to correct the issue yourself and resubmit.
Of course, I think the entire point was that these are no Gentleman, and the Red Pillars need to get themselves over to The Art of Manliness website. And apparenty, this includes one of our more prolific editors? Cause for pause, Soylentils! What are we part of, here!
Takyon is an incel! Disgusting, Bro!

And here is the poster boy for men who must bucket out their pond and get in touch with their inner Iron John! And so I will attempt to point you in this direction. You are probably trolling as usual, yet the old man from Samos has raised the issue of the section of the men's movement that other (more serious imnsho) sections look down upon due their obvious philosophical perfidy: the PUAs. So there is more I must write.
Of course men and women are different! The only people who are saying otherwise are the moonbat postmodernists and their trans trender groupies who seem to only seek gender transition for the purpose of sticking their dicks in cis lesbians. Plus, listen to what the postmodernists are saying. They say, “Men and women are exactly the same, except when we, from time-to-time, seize upon evidence that men are ‘incomplete beings’ or otherwise an inferior caste, membership in which may be determined on the most superficial basis imaginable, or evidence that women are ‘superior beings’ because they can give birth, even cisgender women who are incapable of giving birth.” That is lunacy—hysteria even!, and you're absolutely right to reject it.
Have you read Iron John: A Book About Men [barnesandnoble.com]?
My “internet boyfriend” finds the Iron John myth useful, as he has difficulty finding the girl the with the golden hair, and it helped me gain a deeper understanding of and appreciation for masculinity. It's been a while since I read it, and iirc it also deals with masculine healing hands, which I feel is an important part of the nature of masculinity. Man at his best is, among other things, Aragorn at Gondor, who knows mother nature intimately (such as the medicinal properties of many herbs), healing the sick with the healing hands of a king (i.e. the laying on of hands and the divine masculine).
At this point, allow me to put on Fred Bear [youtube.com].
The man as a hunter and fisher, who here too is in love with mother nature and finds conservationism bound up in hunting and fishing (see Michigan's Out-of-Doors [michiganoutofdoorstv.com] and check out their venison recipes!), is an expression of his healing hands and desire to provide, so there are elements you may be able to relate to here. The cover art of Iron John is reminiscent of the, perhaps romanticized, mountain man archetype in European-American culture. This is an uplifting interpretation of masculinity I feel is imminently accessible to rural men.
In order to understand men as ground down by neoliberalism, we must also understand Palahniuk's Fight Club, in which Tyler Durden is an Iron John figure and an anti-capitalist. “In the world I see you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rock feller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Towers. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying stripes of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighways.” There is something here that calls to men powerfully, yet it does not seem fundamentally counterrevolutionary. Instead we must apply the dialectical process of thesis, negation, negation of the negation in order to find liberation from gender dichotomy as codependence.
In the final analysis, it is absolutely possible to be a heterosexual man in the negation of the negation we must work out. 90% of men are heterosexual. In fact, a heterosexual man can be nothing else than a heterosexual man! See Vincent's Self-Made Man [wikipedia.org] in which the variable of gynephilia is held constant while modifying the variable of gender identity. In fact, I believe it is possible to accomplish this while rejecting patriarchal heteronormativity. The destructive approach of the postmodernists leads only to fascism. Thus, the phenomenon of “toxic masculinity” is entirely of the postmodernists' own creation!

You of all people should be siding with me. If men and women were the same, you'd have no desire to do the trans thing. If they're not the same then they're not equal because that's what equal means.

Yes! Precisely! Thank Ishtar, somebody gets it! (Perhaps in spite of my wall of text!)
And so I side with you when we finally arrive at the negation of the negation, as the thesis, patriarchal heteronormativity, excludes me. Additionally, I think you are already operating in the paradigm represented by the negation of the negation, and so we are on the same side.

Wicked chest congestion means I haven't had enough oxygen to even wake up properly today. Too many large words. Might make sense after this crap starts breaking up.

Also, because the word equality is confusing. Should we call this negation of the negation a mode of gender relations in which the two genders are peers?
So instead of gender equality, shall we have gender peerage then?

Just use equivalence instead. Or just judge people as individuals and the whole issue is moot.

Except that I was literally advocating judging people as individuals instead of collectively.
