Benevolent sexism

Is the very WORST kind of sexism. Which is to say, unsexy sexism:
If you don’t know about “benevolent sexism” then you have probably been guilty of it on a regular basis without even knowing it. Since gamers are apparently among the most sexist of all sexists, it would not be surprising if every single man who plays video games has committed these insidious acts which supposedly “justify women’s subordinate status to men”. What are some of these horrible acts that when committed condemn men to contemptible sexist status? From the recent Northeastern University study “Nonverbal and Verbal Expressions of Men’s Sexism in Mixed-Gender Interactions“:

    During the trivia game, men with more benevolent sexism were perceived to be more patient overall when waiting for the woman to answer the trivia questions.

Being patient with a woman is a sign of sexism. Got it.

    …opening a car door for a woman may reflect simple politeness that would be extended to anyone; however, it could also reflect benevolent sexist attitudes if the man does it because of his assumption that men are more competent than women and that women should be pampered or protected by men, and his action may, in his subjective opinion, be positive and not at all sexist in the traditional sense

Opening doors for women is sexist. Never again.

    …men’s benevolent sexism predicted more smiling

Yes, apparently smiling at a woman is also sexist.

    …benevolent sexism is attractive ideologically for women because they may find it difficult to resist the allure of sexism in such a form. After all, benevolent sexist men hold women in high regards and are willing to sacrifice themselves to protect and save women

A man who is willing to give his life for a woman is sexist? So, men being willing to sacrifice their very lives to protect women is actually bad for women.
Benevolent sexism may be attractive ideologically, but it is not attractive sexually. Those with the Game-educated eyes to see will understand that this is simply yet another screed imploring men to BE MORE ALPHA.

100% of the male inmates are thin and look to be in decent shape. A good percentage of the female inmates (are they all female?!) are land whales.

Perhaps women need to be less alpha.

Basically if a womyn is wearing any SJW tribal identifiers she either gets shunned or mocked by my courtly gentlemanly behavior, depending on mood.

It would be best if SJWs and their cult trainees did adopt an official uniform, I suggest some sort of shirt.

But isn't that malevolent sexism?

You're a sexist no matter what you do... you just can't win... oh no!

Well, women do like villains. And hate hate hate Gammas.

I hold the car doors (as opposed to opening them) for women because I don't want them denting the cars next to mine and getting me into fights with their owners over it.

Brad Andrews said...

Society can't run with all alphas all the time, so this kind of thing is actively destroying society since it only allows the alpha to have success.

Have you ever been blamed for helping even though it was requested and you didn't insist? I was so I always refuse.

Sensible advice. Long ago I decided to just be a dick to women. My family hsd already decided from an early age that I was an asshole, so I figured WTH, I must be a
natural. However, I was raised and educated to behave according to a certain code. It took a while to get used to it, but no more holding open doors, offering my seat, etc. Never again.

If, in some dystopian future, an ex posto facto law were to be passed making this a crime, most men would be on death row. A feminist's dream come true.

Feather Blade said...

Boy, they're just trying to destroy all good manners everywhere, aren't they?

I guess discouraging men from being polite by having the women lay into them for holding doors just wasn't quite effective enough.

Anyone here familiar with the Hot Crazy Matrix

Classic.

Ha! Or at least less masculine. Instead of all this "Lean In" nonsense you'd think we'd eventually see the resurgence of charm schools.

From Wikipedia....."A finishing school is a school for young people, mostly women, that focuses on teaching social graces and upper class cultural norms as a preparation for entry into society. The name reflects that it follows on from ordinary school and is intended to complete the education, with classes primarily on deportment and etiquette, with academic subjects secondary. It may consist of an intensive course, or a one-year programme. In the United States it is sometimes called a charm school. In Tsarist Russia it was known as the Institute for Noblewomen."

Sounds like just what the doctor ordered. Do any of these still exist?

Laguna Beach Fogey said...

I wish. I've been advocating sending young women to finishing schools for years. Also, cooking schools and secretarial colleges. Make them useful.

It's probably just as well they died out in the 1960s. Otherwise they'd be staffed entirely by unpleasant, feminist land-whale SJWs. Charm School 2.0 would have to be managed by serious men who recognize the threat of entryism. I've got half a notion to take this to kickstarter.

Laguna Beach Fogey said...

I think it's a great idea. I'm sure there are a lot of ambitious parents out there who would shell out the money for it.

Speaking of which, when I was a little boy, my parents sent me to the Walter Schalk School of Dance in New Canaan, CT, where I learned ballroom dancing in addition to how to talk and interact with little girls. It was a highly unpleasant experience, and probably affected me in ways I'm still unwilling to recognise.

Laguna Beach Fogey said...

Actually, on second rhought, the women I've been with all say I have incredible rhythm, in and out of the sack, so dance school probably helped me there.

Marissa said...

I remember reading about one in Switzerland, but what's sad is that it now prepares women in how to act in business/multicultural environments instead of how to manage a home and be a lady.

Jesus Christ was responsible for some incredible miracles. Turning water into wine. Making the blind see and the lame walk. Feeding a mulititude of thousands from a couple of fish and a loaf of bread. But even He would probably balk at the notion that today's feral young human females of the Western World could be turned into feminine ladies who exhibit charm, grace, manners, and domestic skills.

All of that said, I really do like the idea of reviving charm schools. From a business investment perspective, though, it seems about as wise as investing in a company that claims to be able to turn water into combustible energy.

I open the car door for my wife so I can look up her skirt while she gets in. She even figured it out because she noticed I never held the door for her when she was wearing pants.

Meh. People who get offended for a living will never run out of things to be offended by.

Vox"s point still stands though. Girls love outlaws, not protectors. In this SMP being sexy is what gets you the girl - all else is all but completely irrelevant. So dont be the benevolent white knight, be the selfish jerk she really wants. Yeah you'll still get called sexist but at least you'll be getting some ass.

(Cue NAWALT, snowflakes etc.)

Somebody please tell me where is it written "Thou shalt not be sexist"? Does this new "morality" have any bounds? Is there no end to the decadence issuing forth from it's implementation?

Gentlemen let us face the feminist facts (pardon the oxymoron), if you are male then you are sexist. Wear the badge with honor, as do I, for there is no shame in it.

Equality only matters in the spiritual realm. In the temporal world we live in...'sexist' is normal because it's proven many different ways over the span of time. Our biology for example. To say you can't be sexist is a very dangerous delusion.

Eeek, less queen bee and more warm, loving. Like comfort women who are soft and loving.

The ad doesn't appear anymore but on youtube a few months ago was an asian dating ad featuring beautiful warm loving women. It is stark contrast to post american women.

Post Americant women stress men out, they should be decompression centers for their men, destress, low stress, easy at home, home is a restful place.

Feminism is a evil worldview that will die with all the afflictions of 50 million abortions they and their older cronies gave us, destroying gen x. But they failed, we are alive and we know what you motherfuckers did, one day you will meet me the law of LP dictates such. Your afflictions of guilt, blame, shame and greed failed to impress gen x and the younger absurd generations of slaves.

Yeah. Football jersey, I'm thinking, since it would come in the necessary sizes.

Vox Day, man up and apologize. I did not deserve to be called a rancid vagina or doxed. Those are the actions of a bully, a misguided bully, especially when my words have always been kind towards you.
