The dark dirty secret

Women that get by mostly on their looks, and KNOW that they get by mostly on their looks are usually the most insecure people in the world.

Especially since they know no matter what, that gift is the one that gets steadily taken away. As Johnny Cash says,

Sooner or later, God'll cut you down.

The Mumbai Tragedy

There's not really much to say about this.

Of course it's ridiculously horrible.

A couple positive "silver linings"

1. White people now know the town's name is "Mumbai"
2. White Americans see good "brown" people on the TV.

Also, watching Fareed Zakaria interview Ratan Tata on CNN is an exceptionally proud moment, letting the people who are most directly affected by this event discuss it, rather than having fat old white men talk about something they know next to nothing about.

The real thanksgiving

I know its early.

But I always like to use this time to remind people, of the true meaning of thanksgiving, and the true history behind it. Not the whitewashed version we see on TV and in elementary schools on a yearly basis.

Let's put everything aside

Close your eyes.

Imagine a desi girl, her arms wrapped around some white guy.

Now imagine these two laughing at how socially inept desi guys are, how they're chicken, how they're coddled, how they cant approach.

Now imagine the girl asking the guy to do an impression of how "an indian guy approaches" and then laugh at this mockery.

Now ask yourself. is this not the behavior of a girl so smitten with self-hatred? someone who hates her background and culture so much she has to run to what she's been pummelled with as "superior" ?

You know. in the old days, white men raped and pillaged and instituted programs to force minority men into thinking less of themselves and forced minority women into hating themselves and likewise, the men of their culture.

Now it seems desi women are just all the more likely to follow that path willingly.

Rule 8. If this is your first time on this blog. you have to post.

One of my favorite movies is Fight Club.

Watching it again, it got me to thinking about male aggressive behavior, a topic that I've debated
for a small amount on SM. But now I think it's time to extend the debate here.

Of course, let's add a bit of context to the discussion. It's an often quoted joke that women would
be "fat, happy, and hairy" without men. That is to say, their desire to lose weight, and remove their hair, and generally
"beautify" themselves stems from a socialized, learned behavior, to attract, appeal to and please men.

Let's just keep that in mind. Back to male aggression.

Now, let's think back to the playground, I'm talking ages 5-12 years old, How do certain guys get attention
of the women? by doing math problems? in India maybe, but not in western society. In fact, I lost a
student council election on that very platform. But thats another point.

When I did martial arts, a girl was very transparent about why she was dating a certain guy

"I'm glad Lou is my boyfriend, he doesn't lose. [his martial arts tournaments]"

"What if Mike beat him next week."

"Mike won't beat him."

But early on, we as boys, learn that girls like the boys that can physically dominate their opponents, and do so. Basically those that show the aggression early on. So couldn't we conclude that the aggressive behavior is a socialized, learned characteristic, that's reinforced by positive feedback from women? Of course we can, because that is most definitely the case. Which is why when a woman laughs or mocks a man publicly, it provokes an aggressive impulse - an impulse that has been wedged into his brain as the "go to" method to earn female approval - be aggressive (maybe even violent) and defeat opponents.

It's internalized from an early age, and progresses its way to later on in life, where physical dominance isn't as important, but dominance and "owning others" still is. So the lawyer who out argues, the chef who out cooks, the crack dealer who out-deals all win women in their respective spheres.

Yet women are given the privilege of having their behavior explained away as socialized, trying to please men, etc... where as we are usually slapped with "boys will be boys" or "boys are naturally aggressive" which if it's true, and it's such a bad thing...

why do women engage in relationships with a naturally corrosive and inherently aggressive group of individuals?

Of course, the dirty little secret is, women *WANT* boys to be boys, because it provides them a simple mechanism to target when attracting them.
