Did men make all the technological progress?

No. This has been another easy answer to stupid questions. Thank you.

I read Masterson’s book. Did men make all the technological progress, build, invent, etc., in the world? Yes. Do women routinely mooch off of men via dinner, alimony, gifts, etc.” Yes. Do men do most of the real tangilble work in the world? Yes. Are women vindictive in general? Yes. Masterson did point out all the good things about women, however his wit and examples (meant to be humorous) are obvious for all to see. I have two sons and one daughter (21, 20 & 18)… all read the book and found it entertaining and true. Look, the truth is Masterson told it the way it is, was aticulate and some people don’t like that. The book… well women have no one but themselves to blame. Ask yourself, if the world was split into men and women and they could not intermingle but were responsible for themselves who would thrive and who would die? Truth is, women need men a lot more than men need women.

MABTW is truth, unfortunately women and manginas
like most on here can’t accept the truth.
Women can’t accept what they can’t manipulate.
Women struggle in maths because the answers are true,
and you can’t argue with mathematics.
The idea behind the site is not to go out
and abuse women but to wake men the fuck up like
yourselves and help you from being pussy whipped.

It’s the quiet ones you’ve got to watch and men have
said nothing for 30 years, until FUCKING NOW.

Female, you began posting on the site with “jokes” about nailing mens feet to the floor to watch them walk in circles.

You deserved every flame you got. It wasn’t based just on you being female.

A lot of you are right. Some of the guys on there are taking it to that level where it’s no longer intelligent argument with a few fanatical tweaks here and there.

Yes a lot of men do defend these beliefs to the death. But how else would we stil have democracy?

I believe it JackGoff, trolling is a sad business. I guess it makes people feel powerful or important or funny to harass and bully others anonymously. I often wonder if trolls feel embarrassed about their behavior after they’ve done it. I sure would.

In other news, I liked your retorts to Wolfe’s comments–you’re good at finding logical errors. It’s funny to me that someone like Wolfe, who professes male-superiority, would also simultaneously suggest that men are, somehow, now the main (or only) victims in our society. I mean, is Wolfe suggesting that big business, commercial production, media moguls are so pussy-whipped by angry feminists that they’ve been cowed into projecting negative images of dads all over the TV? It’s a strange argument–kind of a James Dobson-esque regurgitation.

Empirical studies suggest that lower empathy in humans suggests lower intellectual capacity.

A troll on my blog is a study in this principle.

The problem with Dick’s site is that, while it may be a satire, it offers no real criticism of the anti-feminist rhetoric it espouses. Furthermore, it seems like the fellow(s) who created the site, having put so much energy into the angsty supremacist polemic, are taking many of their arguments fairly seriously. But the site ultimately fails because it isn’t funny; the “jokes” are not an analysis of gender in our society, and have no redeeming value. Dick merely repeats stereotypes entrenched in our society, takes his rhetoric to extreme levels, and expects us all to laugh.

Finally, Dick Masterson has posted antagonistic remarks on a number of feminist-related websites, encouraging women to view the site and get offended/hurt. I think it’s an unfortunate tactic. After all, would we think it was funny if Dick had a site called whitepeoplearebetterthanasians, and went on a Asian-related site and spewed tired anti-Asian slurs in order to get angry attention from Asian men and women? I doubt it. It isn’t funny, and while Dick may be a reasonable human being outside his internet persona, he should really consider his own personal motives behind the creation of this site.

P.S. Empirical studies suggest that lower empathy in humans suggests lower intellectual capacity.

Caromboard, you didn’t need to apologise to me but thank you anyway.
The thing that I think confuses people about mabtw and that shites me is that the site name is guaranteed to ensure a large percentage of women who post there will do so without first discerning any wisdom from previous posts and who automatically start posting hostiley in defense of themselves and their gender. This in turn will guarantee that most men there will respond to them in a hostile manner. This will then be taken at face value as all women are psycho feminist bitches and all men are psychotic misogynistic asshats.

Btw, the picking apart of myself can be likened to Zen instruction, it has been quite educational.
