Do all male feminists and male feminist sympathisers deserve hostility from the Androsphere? No. Quite simply we don't know enough about them and their personal lives to judge them. That doesn't mean that we should embrace them or try to convert them, simply that we don't know enough about the environment that they were raised to judge them properly. Nor does it mean that we should assume that all male feminists or sympathisers aren't intentionally malevolent towards men, and wilfully propogate and perpetuate misandry (Mike Nifong of the Duke Lacross rape scandal for instance). Rather it means that the male feminist should be seen to be a victim of the environment in which they were raised; and the environment includes all aspects, from family relationships, nutrition etc.
It may be possible to do some kind of psychological profiling of male feminsts in order to determine if they are more likely to suffer from standard psychological disorders, or personality types. This is not intended as a method of stigmatising them, simply understanding who they are and why they are more likely to believe the lies that they do. It would also be useful to the Androsphere in general, in much the same way that psychologists use the DSM to diagnose patients and find out what is afflicting them; so that they can be cured. A male feminist who has been cured is more useful than a male feminist who is not.
This entry was inspired by a scene in film 'The Outlaw Josey Wales': Josey Wales is on the run from the Union because he's fought for the Confederacy. Josey is in a saloon in a dirt-poor mining town which has half a dozen other people inside.
[Outside of a saloon, Josey Wales' dog growls at a passing bounty hunter]
[The saloon doors open. The bounty hunter walks in.]
Barman: "What'll you have"
Bounty Hunter: "I'm looking for Joesy Wales."
[The saloon patrons become quiet.]
[Josey Wales is leaning against a wooden upright at one edge of the bar]: "That'll be me."
Bounty Hunter: "You're wanted Wales."
Josey Wales: "Reckon I'm right popular. You a bounty hunter?"
Bounty Hunter: "Yes I am"
Josey Wales: "Dyin' ain't much of a livin'."
[Pregnant pause.]
Josey Wales: "You know this ain't necessary. You could just ride on"
[Another uncomfortable pause.]
[The bounty hunter walks out of the saloon.]
[There's an uneasy silence in the saloon.]
[The bounty hunter's spurs jangle.]
[The bounty hunter walks back in.]
Bounty Hunter: "I had to come back."
Josey Wales: "I know."
[The bounty hunter pulls his gun.]
[Josey draws his revolver quicker and shoots first.]
[Josey kills the bounty hunter who falls through the saloon door.]
[Dark, melancholic musical score.]
[End of scene.]
The war, the civil war, the war between the North and the South, imposed itself on the bounty hunter too such an extent that he couldn't resist. The bounty hunters mind become impregnated by the atmosphere of the war, the meme of the war, of war itself: that killing is the only way to make a living. He couldn't resist, his mind couldn't resist, and so he effectively became 'war'. The soul, the freedom that he once had, was destroyed by the force of the meme.
As it was with the bounty hunter, so it could be with some of the manginas/male feminists: they didn't 'choose' to become feminists of their own free will, but rather they 'succumbed' to the toxic ideas that were in the environment when they grew up in. You could make a comparison with the biology of human procreation: the more female a given environment is (the womb) the more hostile it is going to be to males (sperm cells), so much so that the number of 'casualties' (sperm cells killed by the female white blood cells) will increase dramatically.

Men of Yore: Gregor Mendel
This is another in a series of posts about men from history who have either achieved great things in one form or another by pushing boundaries: either in themselves or in society or science or exploration of some form. Boundary pushing and growth is what men do, it's their nature: to grow and push outwards. We, as men, are the frontiers men, the first to discover/uncover new territory, in a metaphysical sense (i.e. including both material and the immaterial) that is later colonised and 'civilised' by the rest of humanity.
It is also partly intended to show images, be they paintings, statues or photographs of the countenaces of men of yore. Because, quite frankly, many men wear the countenances of women these days: smiling, smirking, cooing, rolling their eyes, looking smug etc. It's a sign of the times, and by showing some images of men from the past, I hope to show some modern men why looking surly, frowning and giving hard-ball stares at people is something to do, something to practice.

| Gregor Mendel |
Gregor Johann Mendel (July 20, 1822[1] – January 6, 1884) was a German-speaking Silesian[2][3] scientist and Augustinian friar who gained posthumous fame as the founder of the new science of genetics. Mendel demonstrated that the inheritance of certain traits in pea plants follows particular patterns, now referred to as the laws of Mendelian inheritance. The profound significance of Mendel's work was not recognized until the turn of the 20th century, when the independent rediscovery of these laws initiated the modern science of genetics.
[..]
Gregor Mendel was born into an ethnic German family in Heinzendorf bei Odrau, Austrian Silesia, Austrian Empire (now Hynčice, Czech Republic). He was the son of Anton and Rosine (Schwirtlich) Mendel, and had one older sister (Veronica) and one younger (Theresia). They lived and worked on a farm which had been owned by the Mendel family for at least 130 years.[5] During his childhood, Mendel worked as a gardener, studied beekeeping, and as a young man attended gymnasium in Opava. From 1840 to 1843, he studied practical and theoretical philosophy as well as physics at the University of Olomouc Faculty of Philosophy[.]
[..]
Mendel's work was rejected at first, and was not widely accepted until after he died. During his own lifetime, most biologists held the idea that all characteristics were passed to the next generation through blending inheritance, in which the traits from each parent are averaged together.
The belief of ‘blending inheritance’ of the biologists of Mendels day, seems to be the same belief of the political Left who live today. They seem to want to androgynise the genders, and mix the races, and mix communism and capitalism all together, etc; in order to get ‘the best of both worlds’. As Mendel showed, this isn’t possible.

Havamal Snippets 56: No-one should know his fate
This is one in a series of very short posts containing snippets from the Havamal text (which can be found in full here - http://www.beyondweird.com/high-one.html)
Why post snippets of an old pagan text here, in a blog that's supposedly about the Androsphere? I’m posting them because they contain helpful everyday advice that is applicable in the modern world e.g. being aware of your surrounding environment, drinking alcohol responsibly, how to score with women. And for many of us, it is part of our heritage that goes back to Proto-Indo-European (PIE) beliefs that stretch back 4000 years or more.
Christianity and demi-nihilism offer the only other dominant philosophical view points in the Androsphere, the former represented by bloggers like Vox Day and Simon Grey, the latter by many PUA bloggers. Christianity, and indeed the other monotheisms from the region draw, from the mythologies of the PIE culture. For instance Noah’s flood is a replication of the Epic of Gilgamesh, and the story of the Angels rebelling against God in the bible is just a copy of the Giants rebelling against the Gods, which is present in both the Greek and Norse religious traditions, as Arthur Schopenhauer pointed out in the eighteenth century.
So, instead of offering you snippets of second-hand wisdom from the Bible, I will offer you snippets of first-hand wisdom from the (probably) older and much more concise Havamal text (roughly 5,000 words compared to the 190,000 words of the New Testament).

Too much wisdom is a bad thing, and a fatalistic worldview to boot. Why? Does this mean that our fates are determined beforehand? Before our mortal lives? If so, then how much agency/free-will do we have? Is it only a few degrees either side of your fate line? Does that mean that the genuine victims of the world actaully chose their suffering? Is this what Christ is talking of when he speaks about "not judging" other people, because they have actually chosen their lives, thus the actions are not bad? "All of the world is a stage and man is it actor" as Shakespeare said.

Oswlad Spengler: a man in awe of cycles
Cycles, the cyclical nature of history, reality, is what Oswald Spengler was in awe of. I say BS to 'Marvelous', wonderful, fabulous, Spengler's theory of cycles and the rise and fall of civilisations, and how all civilisations were basically doomed to crash and burn from the moment they were conceived.
Did knowledgable Spengler know nothing of Odin, Hoenir and Lodurr, and how they slayed the Tyrannical Frost Giant Ymir (the Norse equivalent of Cronus, who ate everything that he produced/gave birth to)? Odin, Hoenir and Lodurr slayed Ymir for a reason, for a really good reason: to be free of the tyranny of cycles, of repetition, of fatalism, of determinism, of bad habits, of no future. That's why Odin, Hoenir and Lodurr killed Ymir, to give you freedom that they never had.
Do you want to go back to the time of Ymir: The time of the tyrant? The time of tyranny? Do you want to throw away all that Odin and Hoenir and Lodurr have given to you, personally ('Wilfullness', 'Logical thinking', and 'Sense perception' respectively)? Do you want to throw away the freedom to choose (the freedom to 'see' options even): the freedom to see more than one future; to have more than one type bread on the table; to wear more than one type of blue jumpsuit or set of overalls on the plantation that your master, the tyrant told you to wear. Do 'You' want to reject all of that? Do you, really? If you do, and want to have your life dominated by cycles again, then.. pffft.. urgh, I have nothing to say to you. Get lost and read Francis Fukuyama and bloviate about how 'the crash of the western world is imminent (part 4,952)'. If you want to bind yourself to Spengler, Fukuyama and those other fatalistic SoBs then you're spiritually dead, you have no life in you, because all you want to do is stick heroin in your arm, time and time again, time after time after time after time, until finally the veins in your arm have retreated into your body which has rotted and turned into a corpse, and no-one cares about you anymore. Get lost.
If you believe in repetition and perpetual cycles, then you believe that alcoholics and drug addicts and emasculted men can never redeem themselves and never ever get out of their self-destructive ruts. You might even want to see kosher drugs-pushers like George Soros peddling/forcing their poison onto these poor, defenceless peeople. If that is the case then I implore you to read around and see how miserable that 'fatalistic' outlook can really be. It's that kind of fatalism, that kind of misery, that Odin, Hoenir and Lodurr did/do/will-do struggle to be rid of. That's the type of fatalism that Oswald Spengler believed was inevitable. That's why I think his basic premise is over-rated.
You must believe that fatalism isn't true if you want to shape the future, even if fatalism does have a role to play in perpetuating the present.
PS. This doesn't mean that I totally rejected cyclical patterns; we orbit around the sun, and the moon orbits around us, and both affect our lives. Rather I'm stressing that Spengler ignored the importance of 'linear/forward motion' which is the companion to cycles, and over-focussed on the cycles themselves. If you focus on one at the expense of the other then you'll end up losing out (too much cycles = depressive outlook; too much linear motion = over-optimistic outlook).

Like with the previous stanza, 54, it seems to imply that too much wisdom is a bad thing. Perhaps wisdom and happiness (gladness) are two ends of the same pole. You can either tend toward happiness at the expense of wisdom, or wisdom at the expense of happiness.
