Update on the last post
Just updated my last post, and feel it’s significant enough to note. It’s the final nail in Eivind’s coffin, and while I’m sure he’ll write up something about refusing to accept it because it clashes with his worldview, that’s the end of the conversation for me. I also suggest Eivind Berge look into parental investment, which explains exactly why the above link would be true. Primates which are most gender equal also tend to be the most promiscuous, ie, ever male gets to mate. Next time, don’t start an argument about human nature with me when I’m in the middle of studying for an anthropology exam.
hi all! i’ve got a few great books i’d like to recommend:
legalizing misandry: from public shame to systemic discrimination against men.
and, spreading misandry: the teaching of contempt for men in popular culture,
autors paul nathanson, katherine young.
the myth of male power, wareen farell p.h.d
have a great one!
If you look at some of the comments on Eivind’s posts made by Eivind himself in response to other comments, it does paint more of his story- there’s mention of a emotional relationship that didn’t work out and anger over not having sex (to the point arguing that life without sex is worse than death). While Eivind strikes me as a fairly intelligent individual, it strikes me this intelligence is being leveraged to rationalise some very strong emotions and psychological damage- in the end, he already has an opinion and is directing his intelligence at supporting that opinion as well and as convincingly as possible.
It’s very difficult to engage such a person as you’re never going to convince them. If I could talk to Eivind, I’d beg for him to get therapy, not over his held opinions but over the difficult events in his past that seem to still be significant to him and shaping his whole outlook on life. I’d suspect that, sadly, Eivind would resist such an idea as he probably considers therapists and psychologists to be part of the feminist agenda.
