Sir-Sister-of-Suck --- You suggest that pornography can do good by freeing men from real women. Yes it does free men, but it makes them lesser men at the same time. So no, it doesn’t do good at all. I am trying to get men to engage with women, to be responsible for them -- the opposite of MGTOW. Again, when it makes a husband have less sex with his wife it is bad. Men become men partly by controlling women (as well as loving them, and being loved back).
I have lost the reference to the paper identifying masturbation’s failure to raise testosterone levels. I am sure I read it in ‘Human Ethology’, 1989, by Irenäus Eibl-Eibesfeldt, but I have now borrowed the book from three public libraries -- in the US, Singapore and England (it is expensive to buy) -- and yet I have been unable to find the reference again.
I am not sure what you mean by ‘eating shit’, in this context. Do you just mean people who don’t look on the humorous side of life? Do you mean me? I have to admit that I’m hopeless at telling jokes.
We really do have very different opinions about pornography. I’ve got my habit under control, now, but last year I masturbated sixteen hours a day for twelve days straight. That is pretty dehumanising. I can’t bear to think of our youth growing up like that.
duszek --- Oh dear, maybe I have got Skip’s and and Greta’s sex wrong? It was just an impression that grew up over time. Mind you, if they are men, they should not mind in the least, because they most probably subscribe to the idea that men and women are the same. It’s the women who know we are different, even as they persuade us men that we are all the same.
Yes, I agree men and women are equal on some parameters, despite all the differences. I think you are right that being decent is one of them. You are spot on that women like constructive criticism, though they deny it, and they also have no fear of criticising men. Just look at the feminists.
You say, ‘If you have something good to criticise please tell us.’ How about women? They are good, but need criticising much of the time. Is that what you meant?
Sir-Sister-of-Suck --- I’m sorry you find some of my opinions gross -- I very much appreciate you continuing to talk to me, even so. You mention someone called ‘Echo’. Who is he?
You say I have become more radical on the forum, as time passes. I reckon both my original posts were pretty contentious, but I think you are right about the way I have been posting more recently. Perhaps I should have started out showing my visiting card (see below)? It has worked well on the few occasions I have used it. I gave it to a policeman who arrested me in 1999. Three months later, when he arrested me again, he proudly brought my card out of his pocket to show me, and told me he was keeping it carefully. Please excuse me, but I am afraid that I’ve been in jail for 4-1/2 years, for repeatedly threatening to kill my wife (to protect our daughter from her)). This was at the time she was divorcing me. Anyway, here’s a modern version of the card:

The logo is meant to represent the manager-worker relationship in an office. I’m not saying a woman cannot be a boss -- just that I prefer male bosses. I am not alone: in the UK 5 out of 6 men prefer a male boss … and 5 out of 6 women do too! (Pitman Training survey, 1996). Professor Eugene Caruso found in the United States that both men and women job applicants were prepared to accept 22% less pay, to avoid working for a woman.
I too have some libertarian leanings (both my brother and I enjoyed reading Ayn Rand in the 70s), but I find their emphasis on the individual and de-emphasis on the community and civil society goes too far. I agree with the sociologist Irving Goffman who says that half of one’s ‘self’ resides in other people. If others don’t respect you, it is difficult to respect yourself. I guess I am doubling down on the importance of other people to the individual, as you say.
