Was Chateau Heartiste (Roissy) the father of the Manosphere?
His blog is hilariously awesome! Like stormfront on acid lately, but still some good Game advice sprinkled in. Used one of his recommended text message tactics to get a girl's digits on tinder just last week. Such a creative writer!
Do writers perceive the world differently than non-writers? If yes, how so?
I doubt it. Not in any major way. Maybe in the "plot sense," e.g. a writer might be constantly thinking, "That would make a good story" or "She'd be an interesting character in a story," but I've met non-writers who do that, too: "Someone should make a movie about your life!"The actual writing process is so conscious and difficult, at least to me, that it's something I have to choose to do. I'm not just doing it as I walk down the street. It's also a very specified process. By which I mean, there's not really a thing I do called "writing." There's only "writing about dogs" and "writing about back pain." While I'm writing about a particular subject, I'm consciously wrestling with it -- trying to force images out of words to express my ideas about that particular subject. When I'm not doing that ... I'm not doing it. The only major difference I see is when I'm reading. I'm much more attune to prose mechanics than some of my non-writer friends, though there are plenty of exceptions. I will discard a book with clunky prose, even if it has an exciting plot and fascinating characters. Many of my (very smart, perceptive) friends will keep reading, often without even noticing the poor craft. But when I'm going to the bank, brushing my teeth, or taking out the trash, I doubt there's much difference between me and a non-writer.
What is a modernist writer?
Sorry – this is a "how long's a piece of string" question! Might be better to cite a few writers who could be lumped together, kicking and screaming, into a "modernist" pigeonhole, eg: James Joyce; D. H. Lawrence; Jack Kerouac; Samuel Beckett ... How many words? Chapters? Volumes? –––––––––––––––––––––––––
Why are most feminists pro-male circumcision?
Ya Coffee support MGM.
What do you call the anti-man section of feminism?
I’d call it 1 of 3 things:Idiots.Historical.Made-up.I’ll start with #1. Basically, with every movement, there are always a fair amount of idiots who refuse to understand the deeper meanings behind the terms and ideologies of the movement. I group in here feminists who think “men don’t get to have an opinion on X issue”, “I should get tampons for free”, “I shouldn’t have to go to work if I’m on my period, no matter what”, that sort of crowd, you know the type. These are people who have taken maybe a few classes in women’s studies and not done too well or are parroting their favorite feminist site without thinking through what the author actually means (and it isn’t usually extremism).Moving on to #2. During second-wave feminism, there was a significant component of feminists who were separatists, or liberation activists. These women viewed all men as oppressors and rapists, who women should stay away from. Think MGTOW, but for women. WGTOW, if you will. They believed men polluted the sisterhood, and generally hated trans women too. If you want a poster child, look no further than Andrea Dworkin - Wikipedia. Dworkin is dead now. Her ideology, radical feminism, has largely been tempered by time, and you’ll find very few feminists who really are as extreme as their sisters from the 1970s. These people tended to also be very sex-negative and sex worker-exclusive, so they are different than modern feminists.As far as #3 goes, a lot of groups in the manosphere and writers on Quora seem to want to group all feminists into #1 or #2. They make up the idea that these people are far more common then they are. When I meet people that do fall into #1 and/or #2, I call them misandrists, and probably naive, uninformed, and depending on how civil our discussion is, stupid.
