The Manosphere Posts

Scrupulous readers with nothing better to do may have noticed that a number of articles under the "Manosphere" label have been withdrawn.

The 'Sphere was a phase I went through.

Does this mean I have turned into a useful-idiot feminist white knight who bitterly regrets never being married and never having children?

Nope. Still the same unrepentant lifetime bachelor. That period was in the nature of scaffolding. Once the building is finished, one takes it down and disposes of it.

I used that scaffolding to ascend to the higher spiritual plane of bachelorhood. The plane occupied by (for instance) Henry Rollins and Bill Maher.

On this plane, one accepts that the cause of bachelorhood lies in ourselves. Marriage is a pillar of society, a source of daily joy and lifetime support, and definitely something other people should do. Sadly, we bachelors miss out on its many benefits, as being foolishly too occupied by our careers / thoughts / creative endeavours / inner peace / sobriety / housekeeping / guitar collection / bench press. Call us Peter Pan. Call us sad. Call us what you like, our lives are not going to intersect.

On this plane, one incorporates what one knows into one's actions, but no longer talks about any of it: do it but don't say it.

I have kept a handful of the articles, including...

the seminal All Hail The Reverend Lawrence Shannon

and the equally seminal post on tattoos and notch counts

and the definitive post on being a man. https://sevendialsx.blogspot.com/2012/11/on-being-man.html

My brief meeting with Tom Torero

An explanation of why I've had enough Red Pills

On being one's own mental point of origin

A rebuttal of Aaron Clary's claim that men do everything so they can get beautiful women

A discussion of men's ability to exercise and withhold empathy

A rebuttal of the idea that men are the gatekeepers of commitment...

...and of the standard portrayal of hypergamy

A comparison of the attitudes of the Red Pill and the lamented Heartiste (that got a lot of views by my standards)

An introduction to the ideas of Ester Perel

This one is still getting views

And this one on the economics of sustained daygame is an all-time hit...

...as was this one on the conversion chain of approaching.
