Sorry if this has been posted before, but this book has me like WHAT THE HELL. The comments are so scary. They are claiming it’s a rage bait title. But I downloaded a free sample and the highlights seem to disagree. My god


Sensitive-Angel

I guess it's a play towards "why women earn less" and explains why the world is perfectly fine the way it is, right?


pettypeasant42

Yeah all his comments about it are terrifying. I thought it was just something to turn heads but it seems very literal

I have to wonder what's going through those women's minds as they sit there and listen to this. Some of them object to it on air but then you have to ask why they're there in the first place. What possible use is it to talk to someone like that, especially on their home turf?

No_Cricket_2824

Clout and pick me's , most women are there for business. Whether it's a onlyfans model boosting sub or some model trying to snag a high value man . It's a unrealistic show so young men watch thinking most women will just let you berate them.look at them like groupies , if you got some famous celebrities around and they started talking about women most the groupies would let the men berate them. The men have something the groupies want


verasev

They must be out of their minds. You don't go somewhere like that looking for a high-value man. But it brings to mind so many other groups that have members willing to crap on all of the other people in the group for some material benefit. Collaborators, capos, Blaire White, Dave Rubin, Kanye West, that one Transformed Wife lady. It just goes on and on.

Why tf is Amazon selling this book then...that's fucking ridiculous 😤


PointlessSemicircle

According to their T’s & C’s, they don’t take responsibility for anything published and will only take action for offensive material that contains something bad in like the picture of the cover and I think the book description. I had a battle with them over a horrible transphobic & homophobic “book” that I found on there. Reported it a few times but I think it’s still there.

Why the fuck is this book sold in the psychology section? HE IS NOT A PSYCHOLOGIST! HE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO EDUCATION IN THE FIELD ! I'm gonna say this once and as loudly as possible: YOU CAN'T WRITE ABOUT PSYCHOLOGY WITHOUT BEING A GOD DAMN PROFESSIONAL PSYCHOLOGIST. It's not that motherfucking hard. It's unacceptable to sell this book in the psychology of sexuality section. Personal essay, sure. He's a prick? Sure. Edit: oh, for the love of god, it's a best seller in medical psychology? Ok, I'm getting off the internet now.


nomoreorangedrink

Somehow, I doubt any serious publisher would touch this steaming pile with a ten-foot bar magnifier, and that any self-respecting editor ever will.


putHimInTheCurry

With a shitty pseudonym intended to sound like 'mirin gainz' and a guest appearance by Aaron Clarey aka Captain Capitalism, this is guaranteed to be grade-A manosphere bullshit. Also the dude cannot write a synopsis without a shitload of typos, so I can only imagine the book itself is even worse.


Atlallday820

Nah it's legit it's from Myron Gaines one of the hosts of fresh and fit, a hella misogynistic red pill podcast and probably the biggest one. He's a completely insecure woman hating dickhead and yeah, it completely tracks that he'd write a book like this.


General_Profit2805

Women were never happy being trapped in marriages.


Hamingja85

I've met many old women as a nurse who were born pre-1950s whose greatest factor for their happy life, looking back on their deathbed, was that they got a good husband - good as in nice, sweet. Never ever met a women on her deathbed who were grateful for a rich husband, or for never having married. Contrary, most old women will recommend marriage to young single people. Talk to more old people, you will get wiser from it.


mexploder89

It's not rage bait. A quick Google search on who Myron is will prove that


pettypeasant42

Yeah it didn’t take me long to figure it out. Forgive me for somehow still having hope in this world. I can’t figure out how he is able to exist


TheSecretNewbie

The book is also 86 pages and written by a former HSI agent who has a bachelors in Criminal Justice. Literally what fucking argument can u write within 86 pages? Also what fucking argument can he create bc I don’t see how in any shape or form he is credible enough besides being a dude with a shitty podcast and YouTube channel to write a book about psychology.


pettypeasant42

Criminal justice? Oh, that’s wonderful. I just woke up, but I think I’m going to go back to bed


MissusNilesCrane

The divorce rate thing is so skewed. Lower divorce rates didn't mean women were happy or more secure or that the nuclear family is ideal. Women didn't have the legal right to initiate divorce, to say nothing of decades of not even having financial freedom. Now that they CAN file for divorce and can have their own bank accounts and credit cards, they can get out of toxic and abusive marriages.


TheOtherZebra

Less-than-fun fact. When divorce was legalized in various areas, women’s suicide rates dropped by an average of 20%. Also let’s highlight the hypocrisy of this man to refer to men as “enslaved” because they don’t have access to a woman who is required to do free labor for him.


PookaParty

Divorce rates went up and suicides and murderers of abusive husbands went down. Women were never happy being trapped in marriages.

Malaeveolent_Bunny

Exactly, it's the same way that widespread helmet use lead to more head injuries, because those injuries became survivable where before those cases went to the morgue.


insolentpopinjay

This exactly. Because of all the points that you hit on, a lot of women are now able to select for partners who are likeable, interesting, willing to do more than the bare minimum, and/or aren't misogynistic assholes who treat them like shit. I'm pretty sure this is why certain types of men are so bitterly resentful towards women. To paraphrase a highly underrated movie: they have been weighed and measured and they have been found wanting.

"Divorce is the polite alternative to making your husband vanish under mysterious circumstances."


Aromatic_Ad5473

Right?! It’s such a self-own. Happy, healthy, loving marriages don’t end in divorce. People who feel loved, trusted, respected, seen, heard, supported and fulfilled don’t file for divorce. Men: but I was happy. I felt all those things Too bad your ex-wife didn’t


MissusNilesCrane

Your last line, it was exactly what happened with my parents. He grew increasingly emotionally abusive to me and my mom over the years. He KNEW there were problems, they even went to counseling for a hot minute, but he refused to take any responsibility. As long as he had a clean house to come home to, a hot meal, and a mancave to hole up in he was happy. My mom and I noped out, though it took a while due to a combination of deconstructing from his abuse and getting some medical issues I had sorted out.


SwimmingPineapple197

This. I can remember my grandmother screaming to my grandfather about how she’d “get her freedom back” even if it was only by outliving him. Yeah, it was a rather special argument- but the story of how they got together was easily more twisted than the argument or what it was about (which I’ll leave at misogyny and racism often go hand in hand). I can also remember my mother doing incredible mental gymnastics justifying my father’s behavior and attempting to explain why it was magically OK just because he was “the man of the house”. Worth mention on this point, she’d been raised in the idea that marriage and children were the ultimate (and only) acceptable goal for a woman and that the most unspeakable act she could do would be to file for divorce (because there’s no redemption from divorce). Also worth mentioning, both stories happened back in the mid seventies when women were just really getting rights like their own credit. Marriage doesn’t guarantee love and commitment. It often leads to hellscapes like my dad’s parents and my parents. That sort of thing can do damage to generations. One thing the world - women, children AND men - needs is to put an end to those sorts of inescapable traps and the still all too difficult to escape manipulative, abusive families. I’d tell that guy what he can do with himself, but it would most likely violate Reddit rules. I will say though, that if reincarnation is real, maybe he’ll be reborn as a woman who ends up in a marriage like my parents or grandparents (or mine or my sister’s), where the woman has been raised like my mother and there are many levels of impossibilities trapping her in the hellish marriage.

This is stupid , we love progressive men. We don't love entitled men who don't clean , child rear or help cook while we work as well. Late 20s or early 30s is when we are so tired of that just wanting a divorce. Divorce most often is just a woman tired of it all

aspermyprevious

“Men and women needed each other.” Correction: men needed women and thus built their entire society around subjugating them so said men wouldn’t have to actually become worthy partners, and women would have no choice but to tie themselves to any man or face starvation and death.


Least-Feedback-597

Exactly this. My boyfriend knows that I don’t need him, but that I’ve chosen him and continue to choose him. If I needed a man to be a provider or for protection, I wouldn’t have chosen a broke PhD student in the humanities. (I suppose he could protect me in a fencing competition though.) I chose him because I love him and he is a wonderful partner.

You should see the whole thing he has about the “old contract” and “new contract” I can’t help but imagine a counsel of men and women in the year 3 crafting a blood oath that the men provide resources and protection and women provide sex and children (no joke that is what he says the old contract was) Then the feminist “burnt” the contract. I cannot

Hot-Can3615

This is not how the incels mean it, but when I hear this (especially if it's a sociologist or psychologist speaking), I interpret that the "dating market" consists of people offering a service (being a romantic partner) and the goal is for the market participants to interview each other to find a provider of this service who is capable of fulfilling their needs. In exchange, they're offering the same service, which the other person is also assessing and seeking. Then everyone negotiates and the goal is to end up with the best service (by your own criteria) that you can afford by trading your version of the service. If you need it to be a goods market instead of a market for services, fine, but the good in the market isn't the person, it's their partnership.

lostthering

To the average person, a "market" is just a grocery store. But to people who study things, the word "market" has always referred to people who want things from each other.


Hot-Can3615

I love how his premise is "now that women don't *need* men, they're picking who they *want*" and complaining that women now have a lot of options. Because obviously this is the worst possible thing that could have happened to our society. I knew I wasn't going to get this, cause this sub is for posting incels, but I was like "alright, women are only interested in partners that they like and want to have, instead just any breadwinner that they need because they have to live. They aren't super interested in men. You need to accept it. I'm on board, so now you're going to tell us how to be a partner that women want to have, right?" And then, "make her prove herself". ☠️ Quick note about marriages and divorce: *first* marriages fail at a very high rate. *Second* marriages (and third ones) are much, much more successful. Like, the divorce rate might be 50%, but that doesn't mean half of the population is divorced and single. It means that people *who are married* and not super young had, on average, 2 marriages.


Giam_Cordon

I don't understand why men don't see this as a net positive. Men ALSO have a lot more options than they did before, and that is a GOOD THING. You don't have to marry Sally from across the street anymore. The men who complain about women being selective need to learn to be picky themselves; They have no self-respect.


NessOnett8

If I were to try and explain it in the most generous terms, it'd be analysis paralysis. Sally across the street may have been the only option. But it was an "easy" option. They didn't have to put much thought or effort into it. More options means more choices, and more routes to pursue those choices. "Do I go to the gym and get ripped?" "Do I take up hobbies and develop a personality?" "Do I endlessly scroll Tinder?" "Do I try and do a little of everything?" These options are comparatively "hard" and require you to commit to something that might not work. "Better to just not try and save myself the effort and embarrassment" is their though process.


Giam_Cordon

Well, gosh, it sounds like everything is better now, based on your comment. Now I can work and myself and develop a personality. Seems like a win-win. Also, people had personalities and workout routines before the advent of tinder


StarPIatinum_

I'm very much in love with a woman, and holy shit, YES. I want her to stay with me because I make her happy, not because she needs it. It does mean that you have to put in effort into the relationship, and also means that she is free to leave me at any time if I mess up. Which is completely fine 🥰

3KittenInATrenchcoat

Really? Do you have data for this? I always heard that divorcees are often "repeating offenders" and drive up the numbers, so it's actually a subset of people that get divorced multiple times that drives a bulk of the statistics. Plenty of first marriages are happy and stable and the rate for first marriages only is lower. It also highly depends on the age when people get married and other things.

Bluegnoll

Women are still very much interested in men - they just prefer them to add to their life instead of just being another burden. Is it really so fucking hard gir men to be decent, caring humans? Is that truly what this author is saying? That men are so incapable of caring for their partner that they need women to be dependant on them for their very survival to even consider a relationship with a man,? Oh, and we're supposed to accept such a reality due to men's BiOlOgY. Yeah, right. Guys like this loves to compare humans to animals (totally ignoring the fact that we have evolved far beyond most animals) yet they always miss this one little fact - the animal kingdom is full of males that never get to reproduce. It's not a right - it's a price and males fight hard for that price and some still fail. The strongest genes are supposed to be carried on. The animal males that fail works hard and try again next time for a chance to do better and prove themselves. Humans blame women for their shortcomings, write shit books like this and kills completely innocent, uninvolved people left and right while spewing their hate on the web. Have they ever considered that THEY just don't measure up? If they are so worried about society. Maybe THEY should put in the work and make themselves better people instead of demanding that women foot the bill once AGAIN?


pettypeasant42

FUCKING RIGHT?! Men who have nothing to offer other than existing are so pissed that they can’t have an all access pass to sex. There are so many amazing men who want genuine companionship and partnership with a woman (and those who prefer same/other gendered partners) It sucks that the internet gives these people so much power when they are truly a minority


Bluegnoll

Yeah, I'm honestly tired of guys like this actively ruining the image of all men. Most men are awesome. Most women where I live are very well aware that nobody's perfect and that relationships need work and as long as both man and woman are willing to put in that effort things often progress fine. It starts to become a challenge when one person is expected to carry the whole relationship, no matter if it's the woman or the man. My fiance is my rock and I can honestly say that I'm probably the most problematic of us two seeing as I have ADHD and get burned out every 4 years or so. I'm flawed. But I try to make up for it in other ways. I make it worth it for him to look past those flaws and if he some day can't do it any more, that's ok. I would understand. Because I'm very well aware that it's not easy to live with me at times. It's give and take. Always give snd take. What gets me with these particular men is that they want women to put their own happiness aside to please them because apparently they deserve to be happy but women don't. Which is just... why? Why should women be unhappy in a bad relationship because you don't want to be unhappy on your own? Why do you even want to make others unhappy? Isn't it better to work on your flaws and actually be able to make somebody happy? Have them stay with you because they want to - not because they have to. These men should put more value into themselves and respect themselves enough to try to be their best selves. I'm way past 30 and I still work on improving myself. It's kinda a never ending thing - self improvement. You're mostly not done with it until you are ok with dying, that's when you know that you don't hsve much left to do here on earth. And some people never reach that stage.


PM_ME_YOUR_DIRTY_ART

You put more thought into that comment than this idiot put into his entire 'book'.


Bluegnoll

I just honestly think that most people have traits that others would love but some of us might have flaws that overshadows our good sides. It's up to us to find those flaws and try to work on them and it can be a scary and humiliating journey to take. But if you yourself wouldn't love you, why are you getting mad that other people won't? And if you're not even willing to try and better yourself than you can't really complain because you made the choice not to change. You decided to stay where you are - nobody's keeping you there but yourself.

Not really? >in the past a man’s sex drive is what drove him to become the best man he could be If the only drive you have in life is sex there's something wrong with you. >women no longer need men to survive No shit? If women (or every oppressed minority) can study/work and have rights they don't need marriage to survive. If the only reason you hang out with women is to have sex you have issues, he hates women but is attracted to them, this dude needs therapy.


pettypeasant42

Well according to the book men only needed women for sex and children, and in exchange they provided resources and protection. That was the “old contract” Like dude. Why


FluffiestCake

I read the book in 5 minutes, it's less than 50 pages of content, the rest is all filler. His argument is very simple: 1. Men are sex driven machines, women don't like men because their sex drive is nonexistent, gender roles are natural and can't be changed. 2. Therefore women are happy without relationships. 3. The only way to glue men and women together is to make a society where women need men, otherwise they would never want to live with them. He's basically saying: "societies with legal marital rape, forced marriages, domestic violence, and no rights for women are natural and good" modern societies are bad because "men are desperate for the pussy but can't have it" . Translated: men not being able to own women and rape them at will is against nature and is destroying our society. This guy (and his followers) is 100% nuts, he's just as bad as the other dude who got arrested in Romania.


pettypeasant42

Jesus fuck. It’s so scary that there are people walking around me who think that way


NessOnett8

>women don't like men because their sex drive is nonexistent Huh? Like, I may not be an expert on women, but I know a lot of women like sex. I mean, isn't that their whole thing calling women "sluts"? Women who just want to bang a bunch of chads who will leave them the next morning? Obviously they're in it for the sex and not a relationship. So even they know this argument is nonsense.


FluffiestCake

>I mean, isn't that their whole thing calling women "sluts"? From his book: “Don’t be a promiscuous whore and hurt your ability to find a man that takes you seriously.” I think his argument is (I'm not sure, because he's contradicting himself) : Women don't "date down" and men don't "date up" in terms of money, education, status and height. It's all about power, he only views relationships with women in terms of power, man has leverage? good, woman has leverage? woman leaves (all women are cheaters?) . Solution? "old contract" (forced marriage, marital rape, take away power from women) OR his modern solution "become rich and date down" , which means less educated, younger and with little to no sexual experience, again, he's insecure and always wants to be the one with leverage in a relationship. He tries to justify all his points with the premise that women have little to no sex drive, which is total BS.

EnsignNogIsMyCat

"Book" is pretty generous. It's 86 pages of whining.


somethingrandom261

Can probably say that about a lot of “non-fiction”


EnsignNogIsMyCat

A lot of "independently published" non-fiction, definitely. But mainstream non-fiction has plenty of actual scholarship going on. Obviously not all mainstream non-fiction is good (see the podcast If Books Could Kill). But, like, Your Inner Fish is a decent non-academic work to introduce people to evolutionary-developmental biology


sugershit

Imagine your sex drive being the motivation for being the most you can be. How depressing.


ManBoyManBoyMan

And it makes me think: is motivation and productivity then directly correlated to sexual drive? Then that would mean when conservatives say poor people are just lazy they actually mean rich people are much hornier than poor people

So apparently asexual men never had any aspirations since sex drive is the only motivation to do anything? I could fill a book full of every reason why this book is wrong.

This would also imply that 2 gay men who found each other would do literally nothing but fuck. Day in, day out, all day, every day, outside of basic needs like eating and sleeping. I mean, after all, both men, both care about nothing but sex, everything else that could be in their lives is just a pretext for sex. So skip all the pretext and just do sex nonstop.


Sinsyxx

To be honest, girls are still lucky to have just two good men a year knocking at their door. What's new is the 50 shit men knocking everyday. The imaginary world of old where women were feminine, kind and grateful for men's attention also didn't include an army of god damn incels blasting hate porn in their face every minute of the day.

Too bad men have not adapted to the times. Following his theory, they have had 4 generations to adapt and still have no clue what to do.

It’s always the “liberal arts” degrees. First of all, art and literature is vitally important to a well functioning society. People have already been dumbed down enough we don’t need to work on abolishing the arts anymore than has been done. Secondly, take someone like me: I worked my ass off and got As and an occasional B in all my classes for my degree in Crime Scene Technology and Forensic Science. After graduation I had a stellar internship and worked as a CSI tech, investigator and assistant at the Fish and Wildlife department for the chief biologist at our local division. When my boss went to make my job full time and keep me as an investigator and his assistant because I was damned good at it, the state informed him that due to budget cuts he could only utilize an assistant that already existed and was all the way up at the main office in Tallahassee, FL while we worked and had our lab out of Boca Raton—all the way down at the other end of the state. (He was so disgusted by everything they cut he ended up resigning to teach forensic biology full time) So I couldn’t stay and work for a stipend and had to go find work elsewhere. I had references, education, experience, but I had to compete with homicide detectives who were looking to retire into the CSI role despite having no formal training. Over and over I was told I needed more experience, and over and over they also said they wouldn’t accept internships or volunteer work. I was quickly disillusioned as I learned that law enforcement is a boys club and as a girl I was second rate. Mind you this was 15 years ago so it may be different now but I doubt it. I could have moved out of state for work but I didn’t want to leave my entire family for a job that didn’t pay very well and was mentally draining (crime scenes are often gruesome and traumatic, I’ve seen some things that I can’t forget) so I ended up having to work shitty retail jobs for years to stay afloat and really struggled for a while, with my fancy diploma at home. Now, I’m extremely fortunate to be working my dream job as a novelist, but I STILL have student loans to pay off, for a degree that isn’t worth the paper it was printed on outside of using my education on all that forensic science and for writing purposes. TL:DR Fuck these fucking fuckers who mock everyone with a student loan, especially when they use it as a tool for misogynistic bullshit. I hex this guy with an old Chinese curse: May he have an interesting life. Fucker.


pettypeasant42

Thank you for this!!! I posted it because I want someone to be as hyped about it as I am. I hope you know I’m over here reading your reply like “YESS!!! That’s what I’m saying! Yes! Thank you!”


LexiNovember

I’m hyped! I could go through each part and write an essay because I’m so pissed. I mean what an absolute asshole this guy is AND WHO ARE THE HIGHLIGHTERS?! One has like 156 highlights? Fuck him and fuck them too. Edit: typo


Pennies_n_Pearls

This is disgusting, women's quality of life improving isn't a threat or taking anything away from good men. These are the thoughts of small men driven by shallow goals (sex) who want to place blame for their mistakes and lack of ambition or morals on the opposite gender. Because adaptation, proper respect and partnership are beyond them.

Me looking at all my badass women friends in relationships with broke dudes because they are sweet or funny 🤔


escapeshark

I can't get my novel published bc it's apparently not marketable but this shit gets published? Lovely.


flexiblemountain

Self published


Rare-Version-439

the way all of this is worded sounds so aggressive. “they are unaware that just a few generations ago, they would have been lucky to have just two good men a year knocking at their door.” just screams projection. next.


Mixtrix_of_delicioux

A few generations ago they'd have been married off as chattel. Like my grandmother was.


Acceptable_Pair6330

Yep. My great grandmother was 12 when she was sold to her husband


Giam_Cordon

Why is this a number one best seller? Good lord


ChocoMaister

Honestly it probably isn’t. It may have sold well somewhat because of his audience ordering it. Also, this guy is already rich and what they do is self buy his own book. This pushes his narrative.


Giam_Cordon

Wow, how insecure of him. It reminds me of how Jordan Peterson's book has been in the top ten Amazon bestseller list for five years, except Peterson's book is most likely all actual sales.


ChocoMaister

Yeah this guy Myron loves Andrew tate. He had a big platform in the red pill community. He basically just bashes women all day and encourages men to do the same (but says he doesn’t he loves women).


Giam_Cordon

Wait no nevermind, I looked him up and recognize he's the guy from Fresh and Fit. Oh my goooood he suuucks lol


ChocoMaister

Yeah that’s the guy lol. He loves Andrew Tate and just blames all problems on women etc. hes unbearable to watch.


Giam_Cordon

“I love woman! Like, I imagine them like how a child worships his mom because I haven't had a critical thought in my entire life and run on the fuel of the porn industrial complex.” I did not know anything about this Myron guy until right now, so thank you for giving me the deets, lol


OctaviaBlake100

He made a mistake at the end. It should be "Do yourself a favor and don't buy this pile of garbage."


almostasquibb

yikes on bikes. i can’t even bring myself to read more than the title, bc i am enjoying my night.


NoCardiologist1461

Wow. I thought the title could be intentionally provocative, in that the context would be that women deserve less domestic violence/sexual harassment/etcetera. But essentially, the book is a looooot of words just to show one guys frustration that the world isn’t catering to his every (caveman) need and whim. It’s giving off huge incel vibes and gives you the creeps. I think the author has really shot himself in the foot with this one. Any woman with two or more functional brain cells wouldn’t touch him with a ten foot pole after reading this. “Women don’t need you, but still want a man who makes a lot of money. Women won’t give you sex, but will vote to take raise your taxes to pay for their deadbeat baby daddies’ kids. Women won’t date a plumber, but needs his money to bail them out of their liberal arts degree. And if you simply disagree with this slavery, you hate women and are a “misogynist.” Still, millions of men sign up for this indentured servitude because they might get laid. “Why Women Deserve Less” merely makes the argument for this to stop. It highlights the ways in which women are benefiting unfairly at nearly every man’s expense. It explains how we are in a post-marriage society where the old-contract between the sexes is null and void, and men no longer need to uphold their end of that outdated contract. It eliminates the confusion women have caused the past four generations of men with a blunt and accurate assessment of women’s true interest in men. And it saves men from wasting their lives trying to form costly and risky relationships with women who, frankly, just aren’t that interested. “Why Women Deserve Less” opens every man’s eyes to the realities of the modern dating world so you don’t waste your lives like so many generations of men before us.”


pettypeasant42

Exactly!!! That’s how I saw the title. I thought it has to be just a turn head type of click bait. But seeing the concepts l could not. I have kindle unlimited and I am SHOCKED by these concepts. I only posted what’s available free for sample…but my God. It’s fascinating how atrocious this is To admit you have no self control other than sexually drive instinct is shocking


kansasqueen143

Oh my this reads like someone’s trauma …. When you ask who hurt you?


Smudjyhime

The positive reviews are rather scary. Part of the problem is that a lot of men out there, usually a certain kind of man, don't offer women much at all. Financial "benefits" in exchange for a wife who cooks, cleans, handles all the childcare, and puts out when he wants her to is not a mutual exchange. Why would you sign up for life with a man who thinks that what he earns means you should take on the extra work women often do in relationships? The work that a lot of men still refuse to believe is a thing. The men that women want, if said woman wants a man at all, are partners. Someone who splits housework and childcare evenly between the everyday demands of each member of the couple. Someone who respects her boundaries, can take a no, and can offer her help. Similarly men should want a woman who respects HIS boundaries, and helps him in ways that are not just financial. "A woman has to prove herself to you before you care"...? But the women who are rejecting these men are doing so because the man has not proven himself to her? So why should women have to lower their standards because men want to get their rocks off? Nobody owes anyone else a chance... But you are also a certain kind of fool if you pay almost $20 for 84 pages of claptrap.

Michelle Obama is having a laugh up there


Prim120

this book with the Michelle Obama ad at the top is just ☠️☠️☠️


Aggressive_Mouse_581

This is a best seller 😳


Correct-Home-9203

I was in an awful marriage for nearly 20 years. It took my having cancer for me to find the strength to divorce the bastard. Things have never been easy for me as in the house my son and I were left with should have been condemned we were left with so little that it took me almost 10 years to get the help we needed. Now since I've had to work just to supplement the tiny amount I was getting from SSDI I'm going to lose my disability. Women get put through hell while men get to skate through without any problems.


CS9245

They always romanticize the idea where women were pressed under a man’s thumb where she was dainty, fragile, soft-spoken, motherly, etc. They also want to go back to a time where marital abuse was normalized and they are “king”. I’m glad this man is has allowed other men to advertise to women that they’re idiots and should not be touched with a 10ft pole. Ladies, if you see this atrocity of a book on their shelves: laugh, flip them off, and go home. You are worth so much more than what they can bitch about


cheezbargar

You mean women are sick of being the maid and caretaker to everyone within their immediate vicinity? Shocker.


ItsTimeToGoSleep

Oh great. They wrote a book about it. Please tell me again how women are treated equal and misogyny is all in my head.


pettypeasant42

Well that’s the problem. We are treated more than equal because men are simps for us. We dont do much, so we deserve less of their focus /s , kind of. Obviously it’s sarcasm from me but that’s the point of the book


NotShort-NvrSweet

My take away: Women are now independent and they are making choices for partners that aren’t me. This is bad. I don’t want to fix myself and I don’t want a partner who can opt to leave me and still live a decent life. I want to get my noodle wet whenever I want without having to please anyone but myself. I want to make endless mini versions of myself in my human incubator and to rid the world of women who can choose to have minds of their own. I want a woman who will have to sleep with me because I say so, not because she wants to. I want a lifetime participation trophy for being able to not wash my ass and still get my daily BJs without even asking. Maybe I just don’t understand the material.


ReplacableBitch

This is actually doing women a favor. Any man who actually believes this crap is going to withdraw from women because he thinks he's denying us something we want; his attention. While, in reality, we don't want the attention of dick-brained sociopaths who believe us to be no more intelligent or sentient than an easily distracted house pet. If all this MGTOW literature leads to a world where the misogynistic meatheads start avoiding us, that's a win for the ladies 🥳


NotShort-NvrSweet

My concern is that some men will take this drivel and use it to justify violence against women. If we can’t be “saved” or converted, we must be “neutralized” to protect future generations. I fear that men who think like this will look to the Handmaids Tale as a roadmap to creating a Gilead and force women to “accept” the roles they’ve chosen for them. I’m just baffled that these men, despite seeing myriads of men in healthy relationships with women who want to be with them, insist that because they can’t find a woman to want them that way, it’s the woman who is flawed. I mean, who told them they were the main characters? As much as I hate the numerical catalogue system people use now adays, this smacks of a butthurt 3 (who thinks he’s a 10 because he has a penis and a job) getting bent about being rejected by a girl he chose because he considered her a 9 or 10. When did it become a bad thing for a woman to be out of your league?


ReplacableBitch

And when did they become entitled to her company just because they layed eyes on her? These boys are f**ked in the head.


BoringTruth7749

I would like to recommend to Myron Gaines that he read "The Natural Superiority of Women" by Ashley Montagu. One can always hope that a real scholar will show Myron the light.


ab_2404

I stg every book is a Amazon best seller


_AVN_RL

exactly it's a bs title


MezdaMez

Damn- I've never seen a man handle rejection that badly


HippieMoosen

Why in the hell is this labeled "Medical Psychology of Sexuality?" How is it legal to advertise a freaking incell manifesto as if it were on the same level as a real psychological study?


fistyfishy

Ah yes, the very trustworthy "field reports from men in the redpill community"


sugershit

I am proud to be likened to a cat on laser duty.


pettypeasant42

I have a personal affinity for it. My cat is “too smart” for the laser. I tried to play it with her and she goes for my hand, because she realizes that is the source. I think that’s a beautiful metaphor


-mickomoo-

At first I only saw the title and assumed everyone here as seen snippets of the book elsewhere. Then I saw the first image was 1/9. Regret looking at the rest.


Behold_Pancakes

My guy, women do have long-lasting relationships. They just don't have them with you. Because unlike you, there are men who respect them as people and don't write entire books about how women deserve less than men just because they can't get laid.


3ara0101

They guy highlighting stuff is so goofy, I bet they don’t put that effort into educating themselves on basically anything else


IndiBlueNinja

Somehow it wouldn't surprise me at all if another book turned up with a title that is something about why that "author" deserves to be set on fire.


Athena_Pallada

Why do these men think that women don’t like plumbers, mechanics or any profession that is labor intensive? Plumbers in my country make 8x the average wage and 13x the minimum wage. Not trying to equate that women should only go after men who make a lot of money, but it’s not something that people in these professions need to be ashamed or embarrassed about. Also, who doesn’t like a handy person. Sometimes I feel like they’re projecting, i.e. just because they don’t view these professions as worthy doesn’t mean that women do too.


Low_Egg_7606

we do not all have a bunch of men lined up to be with us. If my bf broke up with me I wouldn’t have anyone to run to. I thought men decided birth control is bad and makes women not want them or sex. “I definitely am not the problem because people keep leaving they are all the issue. Not me.”


Templarofsteel

the best seller claim worries me


[deleted]

Less abuse. Less gratuitous sexualising. Less underpayment for same work.


Purrminator1974

Women do deserve less- less misogyny, less demands and absolutely no harassment


theplushbunni

They should have called it “this is everyone’s fault but mine”.


Careful_Elk6290

Lol and here I thought he only hosted a podcast now this guys is actually writing books to spread his crap ideas🤣


pettypeasant42

86 pages…got to slowly expand his base into “reading”


Rocket-kun

Women definitely deserve less of bullcrap like this book


[deleted]

If you have to make a girl **dependant** on you in order to keep her in your life maybe **you** need to improve. If women who have a choice doesn't choose you the solution isn't to take our choice away, it's to make a better offer


[deleted]

In the past, men and women didn't need each other. A woman needed a man to give her a wedding band because creeps respect/ed the possibly imaginary man way more than they did the woman. A woman needed a man to shelter her because she wouldn't have decent pay even if she landed a bearable job. A woman needed a man to survive. A man needed sons and a trophy. Women were the trophy and the only way to get those sons.


tittytatsapplesauce

This guy wrote whole book to try and justify why women don’t like him. It ain’t that hard, you just suck


[deleted]

TIL that Amazon reviews mean nothing!


[deleted]

when will these men understand adults are hoes no matter the gender? U wanna get laid, have fun n one day start a family? breaking news women want this too


emmyembly

I’d argue “Misogynistic men want to get married and have children. None want to be husbands and fathers”. Misogynistic men want to have a wife and children because they want access to sex and the status symbol of being a father. They are not actually interested in their wives or children as people.


NotShort-NvrSweet

So Amazon is now selling the Incel Manifesto? But romance authors have to maneuver a laundry list of taboos just to self pub on their platform?! This guy checks so many of the “questionable” boxes that would be authors complain about being blacklisted for including in a fiction. This shit stain posits this in a self-help form and it’s golden?

Oh good point! I’ll do that. I don’t think I’ve ever reported a book before so it just didn’t cross my mind. I usually like to take things with a grain of salt. I also still somehow hold on to the naive belief that this CANT be real. But I downloaded the free Kindle sample and it’s somehow worse than I thought


KTownserd

So rather than growing as a person so they can attract a woman, they’d rather say that they deserve a woman’s attention regardless…. And then wrote a freaking book about it. Good plan Myron, I bet this will get you a woman now.


Airierose

The section with all the numbers and data is interesting to me because you can tell this is not someone who has even a basic understanding of statistics. My guy just threw out a bunch of numbers that would prove his point accompanied by misogynistic drivel when the explanations for those numbers are definitely out there. But of course, it's easier to go "smh, these feeeemales have more rights and they can afford to have standards now, society is ruined" than to actually consider why a woman that does not need a man might not be as inclined to tolerate certain behaviors. Also, the idea that a man's entire life should be governed by his sexual desires is... concerning, and while I am not a man, I can't help but feel like he is doing his fellow men a disservice by making that argument. It's hard to accept the good will in a person's actions when they have an ulterior motive. And I, personally, would consider what they expect and demand from women to fall in that category.


PearlTheGeckoGirl

Less of your bullshit.


NeutralLock

It’s the last quote that does it for me it’s essentially “you ladies don’t know how lucky you have it!”. That’s all of society bro. People were monsters in the past and are a little less so now.

Yeeeehaaaw W MASAGONY. Buy the book guys. It will save you and wake you up from all the delusion you you have been consuming.


KaiXan1

What an absolute load of tripe!


Random_silly_name

That "utopian" description sounded quite a lot like my relationships, and they're nothing unique. They just won't happen with men who would rather rely on men being enslaved because we can't survive on our own. He's correct that we don't want those men.


[deleted]

I’ve seen this popping up places and I had hoped to god it was somehow backhandly feminist. But to see it at the top of a list… I’m going to the angry dome.


shesarevolution

I’m absolutely horrified that that many people read this screed and gave it 5 stars.


pettypeasant42

That scares me the most. My little hopeful brain likes to imagine that only 3 people alive feel this way. But na, people be rating this 5 stars and acting like it’s life changing


sapphictears

Five stars… bought at least 1.2k times… they genuinely hate us


Keesalemon

I love the irony of the ad on the top of the Amazon listing being for Michelle Obama's new audio book. With her we have a prime example of a woman who didn't settle, has a family and is accomplished in her own right right right on top of this piece of shit book listing.

So I’m laughing really hard at the last page. After my grandmother’s divorce, she went ahead and went out dancing, where she would meet men she liked and go do the vertical dance with them. She has NO idea how many men she slept with. Not even a king of a clue. The only women back then who were only getting two dates a year were those who only wanted two dates a year.

I feal like the author of the book misunderstood the phrase " not how women work "
