Every religious bachelor I know well (Orthodox Jews by and large) is a porn addict. Many other bachelors I know are addicted to gaming.
From comments to Steve Sailer:
* It will be interesting to see the course society takes once the actual power-structure has successfully alienated the male half of the millennial generation. Universities are increasingly unpleasant, even hostile, places for young men and university degrees don’t open the same doors they used to; so why bother, if you’re a young man, subjecting yourself to this ‘rape culture’ anyone-with-xy-chromosomes-is-suspect-nonsense? What will these young men do? The trend seems to be a move into isolation and a sort of indefinite adolescence–video games, porn and subsistence earning. But somebody has to pay society’s bills, right? Who will do that? Women? It’s true women have now outpaced men in education and much white-collar work, but if you dig a little deeper, the degrees which women tend to earn and the sort of work they tend to do isn’t exactly the most productive or beneficial for society. A BA in religious studies and a job in PR does not drive a successful society. Moreover, many white-collar middle-class and up women will find themselves increasingly lonely as time goes on: women can’t love a man they don’t respect and men who have given up or checked out into porno-videogame-land don’t inspire respect (though they have my sympathies). Maybe the idiots that are running the education system could just try ignoring boy’s needs and learning styles rather than actively psychologically abusing them. Years and years of being told your natural behaviour is wrong and that you are potential sex-criminal tends to breed a lot of actual maladaptive and antisocial behaviours.
* I remember another moral panic that nobody ever brings up today, but as an older school kid, young adolescent in the 80s, I was genuinely, seriously afraid that despite my best efforts to sniff out a psychopath, one would fool me into marrying him and immediately commence a reign of physical and psychological abuse. The beatings would begin on the wedding night was a very common theme.
People around here make a big deal about take back the night and fear of rape beginning in the early 90s, but I remember the moral panic of abusive husbands much more vividly and its impact on media and popular culture being far more pervasive than had been the case today with rape culture.
And then it was gone. Oprah talked about other things, Stephen King no longer used it as a plot device, etc. It’s as if it never existed.
What happened? I was too young to have an intuitive feel for what was going on.
* Given that Amy Ziering Kofman was both a student of Derrida’s and the maker of a hagiographic documentary about him…..Well, let’s just say that I’m not confident about her views on things like being truthful.
* There ARE a good many rapes on campus. By ghetto origin, low IQ Black athletes on scholarship for the football and basketball teams. See “Scoreboard, Baby,” by Ken Armstrong and Nick Perry about Univ. of Washington under coach Rick Neuheisel. There is one notable rape in the book, detailed, and it wasn’t by Haven Monahan.
It isn’t middling or high IQ White guys doing the raping. They at least can think two days ahead. Its the low impulse control, high twitch muscle guys on scholarship who as one notably said, “We ain’t come to play school. Classes are pointless.” [Ohio State QB Cardale Jones.]
All that will happen is guys will go online, for far less the price, and get degrees in various tech fields, and check out like Japans herbivores, the grass eating Otaku. Meanwhile Colleges will be a female hysteria fest, increasingly female dominated and hysterical, with thug life athletes doing the raping/assaults with no consequences. Paging Jameis Winston, Jameis Winston.
Women I think will be happy. Given a sufficient floor of income and status, they’d rather have intermittently Alphas than all of an ordinary man. Cue collapse of the birthrate or simply a shift to out of wedlock babies, ala the Black community, or perhaps both. Regardless it is clear the nuclear family is a thing of the past for most Whites.
* 1) The actual rate of sexual assault among college women is LOWER than that of college-age women who are not students. So a college campus is the safest place for women 18-24 to be.
2) The actual rate of sexual assault is 6 in 1,000 per year. So when the president and Kirsten Gillebrand start talking about 1 in 4, or 1 in 5 women will be victimized while in college they are only overstating things by a factor of 10. (Really 30x or 40x because they’re usually implying that number are raped, when in fact completed rapes make up less than 30% of the total rate of victimization.)
Naturally, the few stories that were written about this report touted the fact that sexual assaults on campus were marginally less likely to be reported than those commited against non-students in the same age group. A skeptic might conclude that college students have just been taught to consider themselves victims every time a guy sticks an unwanted hand up their shirt in the midst of a drunk make-out session. They don’t report such horrors to the cops because duh, but are happy to check a box on an anonymous questionnaire later. It raises awareness!
