This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Alathon;1048332As for phrase "women and children", remember that it dates well before the current aberrant period in which many pretend men and women are equal in all ways (except those ways in which women are superior).  It was well understood for most of humanities history that women were quicker than men to give in to emotion, more diverted than men by their imaginations, and generally possessing more of the qualities that children have than men.
Sure.  It was also well understood for much of humanity's history that rain follows the plow, that the body has four humors, and that spontaneous generation of life happens regularly.  There are an awful lot of things that we know now about biology and medicine that differ from what was believed through much of history.

Quote from: Alathon;1048332"child-like" or "slut" can be insults, but they can also be descriptions.  Accurate descriptions in this case, sadly.  When many young girls pursue multiple sexual relationships per year, plus one-off hookups, for ten years before they approach thirty and consider marriage, it is perfectly reasonable to call them sluts.  Choosing a lifestyle that involves fucking fifty dudes before attempting a marriage is sluttish, and predictably results in great difficulty making a marriage work.  Unfortunate both for the women involved, and particularly for the men, who end up getting divorce raped for reasons that most of them don't even understand because frank discussion of female failing and weaknesses is taboo in modern western society.
I'm willing to have frank discussion of it. I don't think it's so much a ritual taboo as most people disagree with you because they think you're wrong. I don't think that name-calling women as sluts is reasonable. It's still name-calling for attack rather than description. As for number of partners, the American Millennial generation are less promiscuous than their parents - roughly as promiscuous as those born in the 1950s - though admittedly that is up a bunch from those born in the 1920s. They are more likely to be accepting of premarital sex and LGBT relationships, but have fewer sexual partners. See below a graph of sexual partners by birth cohort - roughly 3.5 for both the Boomer generation and Millennials.

Quote from: Alathon;1048332Over the last century and a half, the violence of the state has been co-opted to seize large portions of men's wealth and transfer it to females, whether divorcees or the horde of urban single mothers whose children mostly become criminals.  Remove females from authority and this situation could be corrected in a single generation.
A century and a half ago, in 1868, women still had limited property rights. They were often subject to coverture when married - where their husband by law owned all of their combined property, even property that the woman owned before the marriage. So yes, I agree in a sense that the law has taken men's wealth and transferred it to women - but I believe that was correct. Women should be allowed to own property on their own, and I don't think that the trend of giving women more rights since 1868 was a mistake.


Quote from: Alathon;1048332The criminality and predation I speak of is on display now in Sweden and Germany... and also in Chicago and Baltimore.  Statistics do not accurately reflect the problem because the issue of racial differences in criminality has been heavily politicized for decades, resulting in millions of crimes being un-reported and criminals un-charged when it might reflect "racism" on the part of the officer or DA.  The irresponsible, short-sighted, supplicating leftist parties that champion pandering to "migrants" and run racism narratives that suppress honest discussion, are disproportionately supported by females.

The U.S. Department of Justice has several measures of crime rates, such as the NCVS - a polling of households for what crimes they have been victims of. (ref)  So there are number of checks on crime rates, including measurements by different organizations. I don't believe that all statistics from all organizations are being falsified as part of a global coverup.

If you have actual informational sources showing the crime trend you're talking about, I'd be interested to look at them. But the articles you're citing don't offer any clear evidence for what you claim.

While I'm interested in the topic, I think it's a massive derail for this thread.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

Quote from: Alathon;1048332There's no need to worry about whether Marxists on RPG.net feel validated or not.  They will search out media that evokes the feelings they desire one way or another.

True "misogyny", hatred of women, would inspire me to cheer on the current order and attempt to perpetuate it.  To go full TRP soft harem, have my fun with girls while the shine of  youth and new relationships is on, knowing that soon enough I will set them aside in favor of the next batch of humanities majors coming off the assembly line.  My characterization of females is undeniably harsh by modern western standards, but it is harsh because their situation is so bad, and the consequences of permitting them to exercise authority so severe for all involved, male and female.


If you are looking to philosophers for their contribution to the decline of the west, look to post-modernists who add nothing and fill pages with aimless noise they call criticism and deconstruction.  As for phrase "women and children", remember that it dates well before the current aberrant period in which many pretend men and women are equal in all ways (except those ways in which women are superior).  It was well understood for most of humanities history that women were quicker than men to give in to emotion, more diverted than men by their imaginations, and generally possessing more of the qualities that children have than men.

Global statistics are really quite irrelevant in this discussion; I spoke about Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia, and similar nations.

That would imply he's actually had sex in his life.

Quote from: Alathon;1048351Yes.  The consequences are greater personally and for society when females are promiscuous, but that doesn't excuse males who do it either.  It sucks for all involved when people choose to use sex for entertainment and make it something normal and banal, rather than saving it for marriage and using it for pair bonding.  It's no accident that both those who live promiscuous lives, and those who use pornography and masturbation to pretend they have an active sex life, gravitate to more and more extreme kinks in an effort to stimulate themselves.  It's the same as a drug addict needing bigger hits to achieve the same degree of stimulation.

That said, we're getting a bit far afield from RPG.net.  If anyone else genuinely wants to continue this discussion, let me know and I'll start a thread for it.
Incidentally, the graph cited in your link is out of date. The birth rate peaked around 2008, and has gone down since then, according to the CDC.

Also, the source is using "slut" for anyone who has a child out of wedlock, as well as calling such children inherently a problem. Neither of those is inherently true, and as I noted, recently the number of sexual partners has been decreasing even as attachment to marriage is decreasing.

EDITED TO ADD: To be clear, I would be interested in continuing this discussion, either here or in another thread.
