People have asked me what I think of the current incarnation of the "manosphere".
It's like a funhouse mirror version of the original thinkers, as if someone took Lord Byron's writings and ran it through an AI with Down's Syndrome trying to impersonate the Joker.
A kernel of understanding survived the transition, but it got buried under a mountain of…how to put this politely….sheer insanity.
Looksmaxxers, for instance. The idea is sound…women as a sex do have a preference for specific masculine physical features….but the execution and buttressing ideology are all out of whack.
Basically, looksmaxxers are men who project their male sexual desire onto women, mistaking their own primary focus on women's looks for the belief that women are similarly single-mindedly focused on men's looks.
This apparently leads to lightly smashing one's jawline with a ball peen hammer to encourage chadly bone growth.
The OGs knew better than this. Many a tome was penned in the effort to teach young men that women do not think like them, that it is retardo to assume women are sociosexually men with vaginas, and that male desirability is multifactorial, judged by women who as a sex possess a more holistic approach to mate selection.
