The Top 12 Manosphere Myths, Debunked
They lied to you to make you a male feminist
1. MYTH: MOST MARRIAGES END IN DIVORCE.
‘It is completely misleading to compare all the divorces in one year from marriages begun years and even decades earlier with the number of marriages begun in that one year.’
- Thomas Sowell, Dismantling America
The real divorce rate?
2. MYTH: MOST WOMEN ARE UNMARRIED.
Define ‘women’ as any female over 16.
Count widows and women with husbands serving abroad or in prison as ‘unmarried’.
That’s how they got the 'red pill’ 51%.
But only 25% of women have never married.
Even starting at 16+.
3. MYTH: MONOGAMY ISN’T NATURAL.
The earliest hunter-gatherer humans were strictly monogamous.
And monogamy made the world’s most successful empires:
Athenian
Roman
British
Polygyny has never produced a large, stable or successful society.
It doesn't suit human nature.
4. MYTH: MULTIPLE WIVES IS CHRISTIAN.
Christianity is what Christ taught.
Christ ‘brought back matrimony to the nobility of its primeval origin by condemning the customs of the Jews in their abuse of the plurality of wives.’
God made Adam one wife.
5. MYTH: IT’S THE 21st CENTURY, BRO. SEX HAS CHANGED.
Human nature and the rules of sex are timeless.
Sex still makes children; children still need stable marriages.
What's true isn't new.
And what's new isn't true.
6. MYTH: THERE ARE NO GOOD WOMEN.
As Aaron Renn notes,
‘It’s definitely possible to marry a woman whose statistical correlates with divorce are 10% or less.’
Virgin
Religious
Early twenties
No cohabitation
And most women aren't feminists.
7. MYTH: 17 WOMEN HAVE REPRODUCED FOR EVERY 1 MAN.
Throughout human history, 2 women (80%) have reproduced for every 1 man (40%).
But that doesn’t mean most men had multiple wives.
Many men have died in combat.
And most ‘polygyny’ is really serial monogamy.
8. MYTH: MEN DIDN’T ASK FOR FEMINISM.
Feminism was fronted by women but FOUNDED by men, mainly:
Marx and Engels
Wilhelm Reich
Herbert Marcuse
Myth: freedom means autonomy.
Motive: destroy the family.
Method: sex outside marriage.
All male fornicators are feminists.
9. MYTH: CHRISTIANITY IS FEMINISM.
"Train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.”
- Titus 2:4-5
Christianity is patriarchy.
10. MYTH: MASCULINITY IS PROMISCUITY.
All men with multiple wives in the past were married.
OT concubines were wives.
Alpha males in history haven’t allowed men to ‘spin plates’ with their daughters.
Promiscuity has never produced any society.
Except the ghetto.
11. MYTH: HYPERGAMY IS BAD.
Biologically, women want resources and protection for children.
And the male body knows this:
A man who earns less than his wife is far more likely to suffer erectile dysfunction.
Hypergamy means you get what you deserve.
What else did you want?
12. MYTH: WOMEN ARE BUILT FOR CASUAL SEX.
Women have many biological adaptations to monogamy:
Concealed ovulation
Continuous sexual receptivity
The female orgasm
Discomfort with casual sex
Monogamy makes women (and men) happier and healthier.
And more fertile.
TLDR
Forget about "women's problems". Forget about "men's problems". Forget about "children's problems".
There are only social problems.
Men against marriage do the destructive work of the sexual revolution.
They're radicals — male feminists.
The left's last laugh.
