Excellent review of the newly published book on the ‘manosphere’.

Well worth reading.

allen - As I am sure you are realising by now, you can start a thread, but you can't control how it will unfold, who will contribute to it, and who will ignore it.

Twas ever thus.

[naomi24]

Allen, //some of the women here not already lost to the reich //

Who are these women who are lost to the 'reich' - and what does that mean?

[iluvmargie]

I'm starting to put him on a par with pp, he talks utter nonsense!

[allenlondon]

As you will, iluvmargie, but it's sad to see you join the ranks of all the other answerers on this thread, who (with honourable exceptions and one doubtful one) haven't even read the REVIEW of the book I linked to.

It might be rubbish, it might not be, but it'd be nice if some beggar had actually at least read the review and told me WHY they thought it was rubbish.

But no, in the great Answerbank tradition, go for the man, not the ball.

[naomi24]

I read it before I put finger to key - and I told you what I think. Who's going for the man (or woman) and not the ball? Read your own posts, Allen.

No answer to my question?

[douglas9401]

Don't think Laura's getting any.

I refer you to my response at 21:37 - you can offer an opportunity to look at something, you can't be assured that people will take it up, or use that as a condition of responding.

Allen... Not always possible to get a proper response to your questions. But keep on asking.

[allenlondon]

Hello atheist, et ca va?

Yes, I suppose out of all the head banging against brick walls, I’ve touched fingers with you across the ether, so it’s worth it.

It depends how you define a 'proper response'.

If you only regard answers that agree with the ones you want to receive as 'proper answers', then no, it's not always possible to get those.

As far as i am concerned, any and all answers are 'proper answers' - they may not even make sense, but under the definition of the term, they are 'proper answers'.

[royfromaus]

Well, at least there's some good news on the Jeff and Yasmeen situation. The old bill has just nabbed Jeff after the vid of him abusing Yasmeen was uncovered.

[allenlondon]

Hello light of my life. Could you explain who those folks are?

[naomi24]

Allen, //Could you explain who those folks are?//

And could you please explain, as I asked earlier, who the women here lost to the reich are - and what that means?

Another interesting read. Ms Harmange points out that misandry is usually only a reaction to misogyny, and it’s the latter that kills people (women).

[naomi24]

Still no answer from you, Allen. Your frequent insults and your refusal to explain yourself are reminiscent of a schoolyard bully who runs up behind someone, punches them in the back, and hops it before the victim can collar him. What a coward you are.

[allenlondon]

Shaking in my boots, naomi...

Funny. I was just thinking how you remind me of the various teachers, sergeant-majors, etc., I've come across, who cannot bear Not To Be Obeyed.

Well, I was their worst nightmare (coward that I am).

A

[naomi24]

Yep. Coward's about right. More insults - but still no answer.

[ummmm]

And calling him a coward is not an insult?

[naomi24]

No. His penchant for throwing insults and his refusal to explain himself is cowardly.

[royfromaus]

Well worth reading.
