Anyone who's read The Rational Male is aware of what Rollo has dubbed "the feminine imperative":
A feminine biological primacy is why we insist on "women and children first". It's why a woman getting raped is a tragedy, but a man getting raped is hilarious. It's why divorced women are heroic single moms, but divorced men are deadbeat dads. And so on and so forth.
As long as eggs are larger and fewer than sperm, women will continue to be more biologically valuable than men, and our culture and its social conventions will continue to spring forth from that fact.
While the war between the sexes is not a war that can be won (winning one battle simply means you start the next with a handicap), that doesn't mean it's not a war worth fighting. Game itself could be considered the latest weapon developed on behalf of men, just as women were able to utilize things such as the right to vote, no-fault divorce, and the birth control pill to co-opt power for their sex as a whole.
I bring up this topic because I've recently started to job hunt, and I want to be passionate about the work I do. Even with things like game and the internet, it seems to me that women are still very much winning this current battle, and if possible, I'd like to work with products or services that would benefit men as a whole, particularly in the sexual marketplace.
While I appreciate immensely the work that men like Roosh and Rollo are doing, the ideas they're working to spread will only ever be adopted by a tiny percentage of the male population. Concepts like feminine primacy, the sexual marketplace, alpha fucks and beta bucks, hypergamy, etc. are simply too complex and too overwhelming for those still plugged into the Matrix.
However, a man doesn't need to be a rocket scientist in order to fire a missile at his enemy. And similarly, men don't need to understand the motivation behind or the consequences of their actions in order for those actions to have an effect.
Legalizing prostitution, for example, would have an immediate and wide-spread effect on the sexual marketplace, with the benefits accruing almost entirely to men. Imagine how many fewer thirsty simps you'd have to put up with if men could easily pay for a quickie down the road, and the resulting mass deflation of women's egos.
Realistic sexbots might have a similar effect. And one could argue that free, high-quality internet porn has already devalued women's sexual availability to a certain extent.
Easily reversible vasectomies would be another win for men, as would something like Vasalgel.
Of course, there are plenty of things that could benefit certain groups of men while harming other groups, much like the sexual revolution made it possible for low-value women to access men out of their league (via hook-ups and one night stands) while simultaneously making it more difficult for high-value women to monopolize an alpha male.
Legalized polygyny, for example, would grant alpha males increased sexual access while rendering certain beta males celibate. I'd prefer to work in an industry or with a product/service that helps men as a whole, but I realize the world is not so black and white.
So, any ideas? I'd prefer to limit the discussion to things that currently exist (like I said, I'm job hunting) but I find the topic so interesting that I wouldn't mind a theoretical extrapolation here or there.
Quote:Quote:
Everything a man experiences, every social conditioning he receives from the earliest age, every accepted social norm and every expectation of him to qualify as the definition of a mature adult Man in contemporary society is designed to serve the female imperative. Moralists wallow in it, absolutists and defeated white knights existentially depend upon it, and even the better part of relativists still (often unwittingly) feed and serve the feminine purpose. In fact, so all encompassing is this reality that we define our masculinity in the terms of how well we can accommodate that feminine influence.
