Chase,\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAn interesting and also a bit provoking article. I have a few comments, some of them are sritical. \u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFirstly, the references to Bible are interesting, though not all your readers are Christians or otherwise religious. For me, as an atheist, Bible is just a book that express views of its authors, though in a unique way.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EI have never been in the U.S. so I am not in detail familiar with the U.S. mainstream discourse, but in our media there are plenty of information about what happen in your country. I have read also some books about it. I am from Czech republic, where the situation is different. There is kind of mix of Eastern and Western European culture. A feminist movement here is very small, maybe it is not appropriate to call it a movement. But some feminist ideas spread in our country regardless. In the pop culture and in media almost nobody declares open sympathy for feminism, although many people have in fact feminist views in many issues. There are a lot of negative stereotypes and misunderstandings about feminism and most people do not want to be labelled this way. Part of feminist criticicm is basically based on ad hominem argumentation like that feminists are unattractive women unable to find a boyfriend or husband or who have had no sex for a long time or who hate men. This stereotypes are mostly not truth. I personally now some academic feminists and all of them are smart, well educated, confident, ambitious women, some of them are attractive. And I do not feel any resentment towards men on their part when they talk to me.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EI have always had troubles in relatinships with women. As a child I was extremely shy and clueless around women and I did not know what they were attracted to and generally I did not understand them. My father is a very masculine man, my mother is a very feminine woman. They are both atheists, they are not at all feminists and they are also sexually conservative and we have never discussed sex, relationships and feelings (that contributed to my sexual shame). Sex and relationships were not taught at school, I was too shy to ask someone and I had never been in social situations where I could have figured it out from the context. Information from medias were often contradictory, shallow and confusing. I started to study at university while still being clueless. My field was social science and here I met with gender studies and feminism. It was the most sophisticated view on relations between men and women that I had ever met that time and it attracted me, I developed sympathy for feminism. I learned many things from both about women and men, but it did not help me with picking up girls (of course, it is not meant to, feminism has different goals). On the other hand, there is one great benefit of sympathy to feminism: if you have it, you cannot really feel bitterness towards women and have beliefs like \u201eall women are sluts\u201c or \u201eall women are interested just in your money\u201c. You also want to emphatize with them, though your empathy is based on the interpretation that gender studies offer.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EI noticed that many people in the pickup community or on GirlsChase are strongly critical towards feminism and sometimes they really hate it. But I think that many of those critics, including you in this article, make one important mistake: they treat feminism as homogeneous movement. But in reality there are many streams in feminism (as well as in liberalism, conservatism or socialism). I would like to point here that what you write is in many ways compatible with certain versions of feminism. \u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EF.e. one of the biggest discussions in feminism was between difference feminism and equality feminism. Difference feminism stressed differences between men and women and uniqueness of female experience and that both sexes and their values should be treated equally with respect to their differences. Equality feminism stressed similarities between both sexes in order to argue for equal treatment of women. Equality feminism became more mainstream.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EHere are a few examples where I believe what you write is compatible with feminism: \u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E1.\tYou criticize male bitterness towards women \u2013 so do feminists, they call it mysogyny.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n2.\tYou like successfull and driven women \u2013 so do feminists, they support women to be strong and successfull (in fact, existence of this women is more product of feminism and emancipation than traditional roles and conservatism).\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n3.\tYou want to recognize female emotional and sexual needs, to respect this needs, to satisfy them and not to judge women for having them. You want to help women to be sexually liberated and overcome fear of slut shaming \u2013 so do feminists, they fight for female sexual liberation and against slut shaming.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n4.\tYou do not want to hurt women. \u2013 So do feminists, all the critic of male violence against women is about this.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n5.\tYou probably agree  with most following things: that woman should have right to vote and to be voted, to have whatever job they want (if they want it and handle requirements of the job), to have access to all kind of education, to have equal right in marriage and at divorce, to have legal abortion option if they want, to have equal wage for equal job as men, to practice sports, to have better conditions for combining family and career if they want to have both etc. \u2013 all of that are important historical claims of feminist movement, not of traditionalists or conservatives.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe only significant difference is probably issue of differences between sexes: what is their nature and in what extent are they inborn and learned? One example is issue of dominance \u2013 feminists mostly do not agree that men should be dominant over women, and say that male dominance is just product of patriarchy that learn men to be aggressive and dominant and that man oppress women that way . You say that male dominance is natural, that women like it, it is necessary for healthy relationship and men protect women this way. In reality, both is truth in some extent. You offered a lot of arguments for your claims, but no doubt historically men often did not treated women well so the feminist critic is justified. The key is to find a balance and be willing to understand the other side. You can say that you basically try to respect female need to submit (in a good way) and that you agree with the feminist critic of dominanting women in the bad way.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe tricky issue with gender differences is that they were used as a justification for exclusion of women from doing certain things. F. e. women were not allowed to vote because they were considered not rational enough. Women were discouraged from doing sport because people believed female body was too fragile for sport. Women were discouraged from pursuing higher education because of their expected  caregiver role (as my grandmother was) or leading positions at work. Etc. All those arguments are wrong \u2013 women can do all those things, if they are interested in it. That is why many feminists epmhasize similarities between both sexes, there are good reasons for it.

Many aren\u0027t into politics and the ones who are tend to lean socially conservative when it comes to personal relationships(relative to liberal values today).\u00a0 They are not extreme in it because obviously in an extremely socially conservative society you can\u0027t be a pickup artist. A pickup artist usually can only exist in societies with abundant resources and wealth(otherwise he wouldn\u0027t have time to worry about how he picks up single women) and those type of societies lean socially liberal. You have to consider that what a person wants in society might be slightly different for what they want in their personal relationships. I doubt any pickup artist wants to us to go back to an extremely socially conservative agrarian society but I doubt he wants what many feminists are trying to push towards that not only influence society but what kind of personal relationships he is allowed to have as well.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EYou present yourself as an open-minded person but you could be just a zealot in disguise knowing that to convert it is better to present one form over the other. I would say with the amount of effort you put in your post trying to influence pickup artists here to your side that you lean that way but there are obviously a few things that are holding you back from completing the full transformation. I could be completely off the mark as well but that is the image I get.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIf so, then I will just say that just because certain groups both want certain things that share similiarities does not mean they are actually on the same side. For instance if you boil down the criticisms both the far-left and far-right sides of the politcal spectrum have upon the current establishment and system they will be very similiar. Inequality, corruption,broken- down infrastructure and so on but they have different ways of going about it which are influenced by their social values and outlooks on life. What people and values society should be ultimately composed of. Because of that they are actually very different just like most pickup artists will be very different from most feminists.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EPickup artists are not naturally in the politcal sphere(most aren\u0027t into politics) but feminists don\u0027t want men to act in certain way such as approaching women on the off-chance it will make them uncomfortable. If you can\u0027t ensure there is no chance of a woman being completely happy with what you are doing you should never try it in the first place goes the thinking. Feminists have social values that create conflict with what pickup artists naturally do and that is where the tension is. A hardcore christian or muslim would also have social values that would make them incompatible with pickup artists. Senseless fornication is a no-no and women should not be \u0027sluts\u0027 and men shouldn\u0027t influence them into into wanton \u0027sluts\u0027. Both groups want the pickup artists to stop what they are doing but their reasons of why are so different that they reveal huge gaps in compatability with each other. Chase and other pickup artists don\u0027t want partners of theirs to be a certain way because of the reasons that feminists do.

Within that society though, a woman achieves a certain degree of independence. We are at once all dependent, and all independent, depending on what aspects you look at.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EEvery political movement that exists is led by a handful of outspoken, and usually extreme, individuals. However, it\u2019s helped along by support from the individuals it represents. The extremist lesbian feminist leaders would never get much traction if women actively disliked what they represented, took issue with it, and opposed it. Instead, as is often the case in politics, a vocal minority brigades a silent majority.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIf at some point the majority turns and decides it no longer supports what that vocal minority pushes, it will throw its weight behind a new set of leaders, and the old ones will fall out of grace. You\u2019re seeing this right now with conservatives in the United States; almost overnight, all the old leaders of the conservative movement have become branded as \u201ccuckservatives\u201d and been ditched. The majority\u2019s decided it doesn\u2019t support their leadership anymore, and no matter how vocal they are it doesn\u2019t matter. The majority\u2019s thrown its weight behind a new set of leaders who represent different priorities. This is how majorities wield their influence.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe fact that feminism arises in every wealthy, safe urban society throughout history implies this is not a fluke, and this is something women collectively push for under certain circumstances. Whether feminism is \u201cgood\u201d or \u201cbad\u201d depends on where you\u2019re standing, and perhaps whether you believe in creative destruction or not. Feminism is almost doubtless a part of the decline and destruction of a powerful civilization, but without that destruction you would eventually have stagnation \/ gridlock. When old civilizations become decrepit and die, they make room for new civilizations to take place and build on what those who came before them achieved. Feminism is just fulfilling its role in the circle of civilizational life.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EChase\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E      \u003C\/div\u003E\n\n  \u003Cdiv class=\u0022pull-right\u0022\u003E\u003Cul class=\u0022links list-inline\u0022\u003E\u003Cli class=\u0022comment-reply first last\u0022\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022\/comment\/reply\/2091\/80331\u0022\u003Ereply\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\u0022indented\u0022\u003E\u003Ca id=\u0022comment-94277\u0022\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\u0022comment comment-by-anonymous well clearfix\u0022 about=\u0022\/comment\/94277#comment-94277\u0022 typeof=\u0022sioc:Post sioct:Comment\u0022\u003E\n      \u003Cdiv class=\u0022user-picture\u0022\u003E\n    \u003Cimg typeof=\u0022foaf:Image\u0022 class=\u0022img-responsive\u0022 data-src=\u0022https:\/\/www.girlschase.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures\/circle-guest-85x85.png\u0022 src=\u0022https:\/\/www.girlschase.com\/sites\/all\/modules\/contrib\/lazyloader\/image_placeholder.gif\u0022 alt=\u0022Mike B\u0026#039;s picture\u0022 title=\u0022Mike B\u0026#039;s picture\u0022 \/\u003E\u003Cnoscript\u003E\u003Cimg typeof=\u0022foaf:Image\u0022 class=\u0022img-responsive\u0022 src=\u0022https:\/\/www.girlschase.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures\/circle-guest-85x85.png\u0022 alt=\u0022Mike B\u0026#039;s picture\u0022 title=\u0022Mike B\u0026#039;s picture\u0022 \/\u003E\u003C\/noscript\u003E  \u003C\/div\u003E\n\n  \n    \u003Ch3 property=\u0022dc:title\u0022 datatype=\u0022\u0022\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022\/comment\/94277#comment-94277\u0022 class=\u0022permalink\u0022 rel=\u0022bookmark\u0022\u003Efeminism vs military strength\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/h3\u003E\n  \n  \u003Cdiv class=\u0022submitted\u0022\u003E\n            Posted by \u003Cspan rel=\u0022sioc:has_creator\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022username\u0022 xml:lang=\u0022\u0022 typeof=\u0022sioc:UserAccount\u0022 property=\u0022foaf:name\u0022 datatype=\u0022\u0022\u003EMike B (not verified)\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E on Friday, 23 June 2023  \u003C\/div\u003E\n\n  \u003Cdiv class=\u0022content\u0022\u003E\n    \u003Cspan rel=\u0022sioc:reply_of\u0022 resource=\u0022\/content\/it-ever-okay-date-feminist\u0022 class=\u0022rdf-meta element-hidden\u0022\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan rel=\u0022sioc:reply_of\u0022 resource=\u0022\/comment\/80331#comment-80331\u0022 class=\u0022rdf-meta element-hidden\u0022\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\u0022field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden\u0022\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\u0022field-items\u0022\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\u0022field-item even\u0022 property=\u0022content:encoded\u0022\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHey Chase, In the examples you\u0027ve listed throughout history where feminism preceded collapse, the civilization was feminized to the point it neglected its military might, and beecame vulnerable to attack.

Personally, if a girl is vocal about feminism or finds \u0022sexism\u0022 wherever she looks, then she\u0027s automatically relegated to the realm of only occasional spontaneous sex (if even that). I know it\u0027s kind of harsh, but the older I get and the more experienced I\u0027ve become, the more I\u0027ve realized how important it is to be able to respect the people you bring into your life and keep in your circle. I simply can\u0027t respect someone, male OR female, who wholeheartedly buys into spoon-fed media narratives without doing 10 to 20 minutes of research on what they\u0027re told. Fortunately, most women do NOT identify as feminists...but if I hear something about the \u0022wage gap\u0022 or \u0022institutional sexism,\u0022 I\u0027m going to loudly and pointedly debunk it right then and there. If they still believe in it after being exposed to real information, then I\u0027m not going to date that woman or consider her a serious companion to my life.

I don\u0027t mean the zealous misandrist perspective, because that stems from hate and is evidently destructive, but just the basic idea that women deserve to be treated with respect, deserve to be listened to, empathised with and deserve to be empowered rather than subjugated. It always seemed to me to be a closed minded perspective for men to reject or dismiss outright the ideas behind feminism. \u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFor instance, why is it a bad thing to empower women, to help them be strong? I recognize that traditionally men have lead women, and that mentality is still pervasive. But the point is to envision a new kind of partnership where both sexes are equal partners. \u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EI also find it strange that men are so resistant to listening to women when they talk about their experiences. If women don\u0027t like being catcalled or harassed on the street, then I don\u0027t see how it hurts men to listen to their perspective and try to understand, and then to change those aspects of interactions? Why would we keep engaging in these behaviours when women are outright telling us that they find them threatening? It\u0027s the same thing with having sex while under the influence. If women leave an experience feeling like they\u0027ve been assaulted,  there\u0027s validity to that interpretation because there\u0027s validity to their experience. Sure there are some women who will cry wolf for whatever reason, but I\u0027ve known a lot (too many) girls who have had similar experiences and have had real, lasting trauma from them. As the ones who lead interactions and approach, we should be responsible for understanding that perspective and changing our interactions accordingly. Is it really worth putting someone through that emotional pain and trauma just to have drunken sex or call out to a stranger? When it comes down to it, we aren\u0027t really losing much by being more respectful and listening to women. It\u0027s just a shift in how we approach. \u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIt seems silly to me to try to hold on to old ways of behaving and interacting that are becoming increasingly dissonant in this modern era. That doesn\u0027t mean men will have less success with women, it just means the interactions will be different. It\u0027s funny that you mention that feminism generates a combative relationship between men and women. From my perspective, an equal part of that combativeness arises from men\u0027s resistance to empathising with women and seeing how certain behaviours (e.g. catcalling) are perceived as threatening. It\u0027s like we\u0027re trying to hold on to old ways of interacting, rather than building a more positive future with the women in our lives. If women tell us they don\u0027t feel comfortable with certain things, why continue to dismiss them? Why not listen to them, empathise with them, be creative and change our approach?

Because you, a man, are part of the patriarchy, you\u2019re also part of the problem. That means you must be lectured, retrained, and reeducated. Unfortunately, it\u2019s somewhat difficult to be the sexy, powerful, attractive guy when you are also the chastened, corrected, and newly-minted sensitive guy.

Then you encourage and inspire her to go do it. One of the mistakes a lot of men make in this arena though is they confuse self-sacrifice for encouragement. They\u2019ll do things like take on more chores in a domestic relationship because, heck, that\u2019s equality, and we\u2019re modern after all. Or they\u2019ll accept suboptimal relationship conditions (like putting up with a girlfriend who has little time for them because she\u2019s so busy with her career) because they think that\u2019s what they\u2019re \u201csupposed to do.\u201d Most men don\u2019t know how to empower women in a powerful, masculine way, and only seem to be able to do it by transferring power from themselves to the woman.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe discussion of \u201cold ways\u201d and \u201cmodern eras\u201d is somewhat history blind; what\u2019s old is new and what\u2019s new is old, as history goes. Feminism\u2019s come and gone hundreds of times (at least) throughout human history. A man may choose to embrace its tenets if he feels fulfilled by them, but this is a site for independent-minded men, where the message is, \u201cDo what suits you, within the bounds of morality and responsibility,\u201d and not, \u201cDo what society mandates you do.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E(I don\u2019t think there was ever a time when cat-calling was an effective mating tactic, by the way)\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cblockquote\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIf women tell us they don\u0027t feel comfortable with certain things, why continue to dismiss them?
