THE PHILOSOPHIL FASCISTS OF THE GAY ALT-RIGHT

Have we discsed him lately? He's gay, right? I was jt remd of him and wonred if he was plag about his manly personal liberti beg vlated durg the quarante, but he don't ... * jack donovan gay *

It was the 1990s, after he left his parents’ blue-llar home ral Pennsylvania to study fe art New York, when he danced go-go gay clubs, hung out wh drag queens, and marched for gay pri. “I am not gay bee the word gay nnot so much more than same-sex sire, ” Donovan announced, unr a psdonym, on the first page of 2006’s Androphilia: A Manifto: Rejectg the Gay Inty, Reclaimg Masculy (echog, probably untentnally, the speech Tony Khner wrote for Roy Cohn Angels Ameri).

” To say nothg of trans issu, which most gay alt-righters rejected (“I know three transgenr people our movement, ” Counter-Currents edor Greg Johnson offered, before argug agast the signatn. In Androphilia, he prais activists who fought to crimalize gay sex and to bat stutnal difference to AIDS “It would be remiss not to cred the Gay Rights Movement for fightg agast this sort of opprsn, tolerance, and tentnal negligence, ” he wr, but “havg achieved relative tolerance for same-sex-oriented people mastream culture, and havg brought an end to police harassment and wispread discrimatn, the Gay Rights Movement has turned to npickg. "Sce then, the word has mutated to a label of choice for some young gay men, often polilly right-wg, who intify wh a new kd of 2006, the right-wg polemicist Jack Donovan took the word as the tle of his book, which was subtled, 'Rejectg the Gay Inty, Reclaimg Masculy'.

A generatn of young men who are attracted to men - but who chew the liberal, activist polics they believe are associated wh the gay liberatn movement – have chosen to scribe 's a label that is ed exclively by men, wh no real equivalent for gay, right-wg ImagThe term's revigoratn may seem puzzlg, but shouldn’t be. After all, the word ‘gay’ was popularised the 1970s, around seven s after was first ed as a ls judgemental, ls clil term than 'homosexual' that word (homosexual), only me to mon e the late 19th century, when sexologists like Havelock Ellis argued same sex sire was jt another sexual inty (somethg you were) rather than - as was then perceived - a sful, crimal act of sodomy (somethg you did) inty is never really about blogy or genr; ’s often more about Downs'Gay' gaed populary after the activist Frank Kameny me up wh the tchphrase 'gay is good' 1968. ”Henng Diel“Gay is part of the LGBT+ world that I never see myself as part of”Henng DielHenng Diel, a self-scribed androphile and right-wg libertarian who liv near Hamburg, Germany, also rejects the word ‘gay’.

I’M NOT GAY, I’M AN ANDROPHILE

Whout women, the only way is gay * jack donovan gay *

”Jam MiltonYet many are not happy that the term is beg ed by members of the Milton, a 24-year-old stunt om Chigo, enuntered the term ‘androphile’ Jack Donovan’s wrg six years ago, when he was an angsty 18-year-old lookg for a place wh gay MiltonHe says , “affirmed my spicn that I wasn’t gay – jt a man who happens to sleep wh other men, ” Milton told felt like he was on “the outskirts of gay culture bee I didn't relate to the pre-termed gay inty”.

A untry mic fan, he says he was mocked by the bartenrs gay bars when he picked songs he is also a fan of wrtlg and mixed martial arts (MMA) – an tert he believ has ed him to be exclud om social suatns wh gay men. Will have to take other people's word for that he's a whe natnalist right-wg cunt, as I have never heard of him, but I fely agree that gays need to stop idolisg cunts jt bee they are physilly hot.

A flamg homo, who is fortable wh himself, is more of a man than a guy who shrieks terror when his own self perceived masculy is danger, bee some gay guy choos to flnt his supposed femy public.

BUT MEN PETE FOR STAT THE MALE DOMANCE HIERARCHY TO GA SEXUAL ACCS TO WOMEN. AND THEY PETE ACRDG TO CRERIA WOMEN THEMSELV CI.IN TERMS OF EVOLUTNARY BLOGY, WHERE THE SEX DIFFER, IS THE RULT OF SEXUAL — NOT NATURAL — SELECTN. MEN ARE BUILT TO A FEMALE SPECIFITN FOR THE SAKE OF CHILDREN. AS ARISTOTLE POTED OUT, SMALL MISTAK THE BEGNG LEAD TO BIG ON THE END. AND DONOVAN’S MISTAKEN VIEW OF MANHOOD LEADS HIM TO ABSURD NCLNS SUCH AS THAT MEN HAVE ‘ALWAYS HABED A WORLD APART OM WOMEN.’HYPERMASCULYTO UNRSTAND WHAT DONOVAN’S ‘WORLD APART’ MEANS, LET’S START WH AN EXTREME EXAMPLE. HE DON’T E , BUT HE SHOULD HAVE DONE. IT’S THE SENCE OF HIS VISN: THE RE OF PASSAGE AMONG THE SAMBIA OF EASTERN NEW GUEA. BELIEVG THAT THEIR MOTHERS’ K IALLY MAK BOYS MORE FEME, THEY TAKE THE BOY BETWEEN THE AG OF SIX AND TEN AND PUT HIM THROUGH SIX STAG TO IATE HIM TO MANHOOD. AT PUBERTY, THE BOYS HAVE TO RECEIVE SEMEN (‘MEN’S K’) — THE SENCE OF ALL LIFE AND POWER — THROUGH FELLAT. THIS IS DONE MALY TO PREPARE FOR WAR. FOR THEM, MARKS ENTRY TO THE FIERCE AND BTAL ALL-MALE WARRR WORLD. THK OF AS THE ULTIMATE VERSN OF THE TREE HOE WH A ‘NO GIRLS ALLOWED’ SIGN ON THE ONT.FROM DONOVAN’S WIKIPEDIA PAGEBUT WHEREAS THE SAMBIA, SPE HOMOSEXUAL ACTIVY, SEE MARRIAGE TO A WOMAN AND FATHERHOOD AS THE EVENTUAL PLETN OF A BOY’S JOURNEY TO MANHOOD, DONOVAN NEVER MAK THAT FAR. IN THE WAY OF MEN, THE WAY IS GAY. HE EVEN WROTE A WHOLE BOOK, ANDROPHILIA, ON HOW ‘HOMOSEXUALY N BE ABOUT CHAMPNG A MASCULE IAL.’ THAT BOOK HAS UNSURPRISGLY RECEIVED LS ATTENTN OM MEN, BUT S SENTIAL IAS LURKG THIS ONE HAVE GONE UNNOTICED. THE PRIMACY OF PROCREATNREMEMBER: SMALL MISTAK LEAD TO BIG ON. ACRDG TO DONOVAN,BEG GOOD AT BEG A MAN HAS MORE TO DO WH A MAN’S ABILY TO SUCCEED WH MEN AND WH GROUPS OF MEN THAN DO WH A MAN’S RELATNSHIP TO ANY WOMAN OR ANY GROUP OF WOMEN. WHEN SOMEONE TELLS A MAN TO BE A MAN, THEY ARE TELLG HIM TO BE MORE LIKE OTHER MEN, MORE LIKE THE MAJORY OF MEN, AND IALLY MORE LIKE THE MEN WHOM OTHER MEN HOLD HIGH REGARD.SUPPOSE A MAN SPENDS HIS LIFE A MALE GANG. HE’S THE BT PROTECTOR AND PROVIR — THE TOUGHT, MOST PETENT GUY, WH THE MOST ROURC. BUT NOW SUPPOSE HE NEVER PROCREAT WH A WOMAN. FROM AN EVOLUTNARY POT OF VIEW, THIS MAN IS A FAILURE. WHY? BEE SURVIVAL IS STMENTAL TO REPRODUCTN. WOMEN HOLD MEN WHO ARE GOOD PROTECTORS AND PROVIRS HIGH REGARD BEE THE APTUS ARE IMPORTANT FOR PROCREATN. A MOTHER AND CHILD NEED ROURC AND SAFETY. THE VIRTU OF THE ‘PERIMETER’ THAT DONOVAN SCRIB AS THE MA FEATUR OF MASCULY — STRENGTH, URAGE, MASTERY AND HONOUR — ARE FUNDAMENTALLY ROOTED WHAT WOMEN REQUIRE OF FATHERS, NOT WHAT MEN REQUIRE OF EACH OTHER.SUBSCRIBEWHAT’S TE DONOVAN’S BOOK ISN’T NEW. HE SAYS HE ‘NSULTED MANY BOOKS’ WHILE WRG , BUT ‘ONLY A HANDFUL OF THEM ARE CED’. ONE NOT CED WAS DOUBTLS DAVID GILMORE’S MANHOOD THE MAKG, WRTEN S BEFORE. FOR DONOVAN, ‘ HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE JOB OF MEN TO DRAW THE PERIMETER, TO TABLISH A SAFE SPACE, TO SEPARATE OM THEM AND CREATE A CIRCLE OF TST.’ SIARLY, FOR GILMORE, ’S ‘THE NEED TO TABLISH AND FEND BOUNDARI’. BUT WHEREAS GILMORE RIGHTLY STRS PROCREATG, PROVIDG AND PROTECTG AS THE UNIVERSAL MASCULE IMPERATIV, DONOVAN LOS SIGHT OF HOW THE SERVE THE FAY AS THE FUNDAMENTAL SOCIAL UN.SO WHAT’S NEW DONOVAN’S BOOK ISN’T TE. THE MEN AT THE TOP OF THE MALE DOMANCE HIERARCHY ARE GOOD AT DOG WHAT WOMEN WANT. AND WOMEN HOLD THEM HIGH REGARD, WHICH IS WHY THEY WANT TO REPRODUCE WH THEM. MEN ARE THE GEIC FILTER OF THE SPECI. THEY PROVE THEMSELV PETN WH OTHER MEN TO GET ATTENTN OM WOMEN THE HOPE OF BEG ABLE TO PROCREATE. SIARLY, ALTHOUGH WOMEN DON’T EXIST A DOMANCE HIERARCHY PROPERLY SPEAKG — THEY ARE ARRANGED POSS (OR CLIQU) RATHER THAN A PYRAMID — WHAT THEY VALUE IS BASED ON WHAT MEN WANT. WOMEN WEAR MAKE UP FOR MEN’S APPROVAL, NOT EACH OTHER’S. THEY ARE NOT SIGNALLG YOUTH AND BETY, ULTIMATELY PROXI FOR FERTILY, TO OTHER WOMEN.CONSIR TWO ANIMAL EXAMPL THAT MAKE THE SAME POT: ELEPHANT SEALS AND LNS. AMONG ELEPHANT SEALS, BTAL FIGHTG RULTS 4% OF THE MAL SIRG AROUND 85% OF THE PUPS. DONOVAN WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE THAT THOSE 4% GET TO REPRODUCE BEE THE OTHER MAL REGARD THEM AS IMPRSIVE. NO, THEY HAVE WON A GAME WHICH THE FEMALE MAKE THE L AND ARE THEMSELV THE JUDG AND THE PRIZ. AMONG LNS, THE TOP MAL HAVE THE THICKT, NST AND DARKT MAN. IS THIS BEE OTHER MALE LNS LIKE THEM? NO, ’S BEE THEY ARE HONT SIGNALS OF GEIC QUALY. THEY MAKE HARR FOR THE LNS TO DISSIPATE HEAT, EFFECTIVELY MAKG HARR FOR SUCH A LARGE ANIMAL TO SURVIVE. AND IF HE NOT ONLY SURVIV BUT THRIV SPE THE HANDIP, SHOWS HIS GEIC QUALY TO THE FEMAL.FUNDAMENTALLY, THEN, DONOVAN IS WRONG THAT ‘WHEN MEN PETE AGAST EACH OTHER FOR STAT, THEY ARE PETG FOR EACH OTHER’S APPROVAL.’ IT IS TE THAT ‘THE WOMEN WHOM MEN FD MOST SIRABLE HAVE HISTORILLY BEEN ATTRACTED TO—OR BEEN CLAIMED BY—MEN WHO WERE FEARED OR REVERED BY OTHER MEN.’ BUT THIS IS BEE THOSE MEN HAVE PASSED THE TT VISED BY WOMEN. IT’S NOT THAT ‘FEMALE APPROVAL HAS REGULARLY BEEN A NSEQUENCE OF MALE APPROVAL.’ IT’S THAT, ULTIMATELY, FEMALE APPROVAL TERM WHO THE TOP MEN ARE. MEN DON’T CI THE SUCCS CRERIA. BEE WOMEN WANT PROCREATORS, PROVIRS AND PROTECTORS, THEY SHAPE MEN VIA SEXUAL SELECTN TO MEET THAT STANDARD. TALLER MEN HAVE A LEVERAGE ADVANTAGE BAT, FOR EXAMPLE, SO WOMEN PREFER HEIGHT. IT’S NOT ABOUT A GANG OF GAYS CIDG THE TALLT ONE JT LOOKS OL.FETTG THE FAYTHIS IS BASIC BLOGY. SO HOW DID DONOVAN GET SO WRONG? REMEMBER: SMALL MISTAK THE BEGNG LEAD TO BIG ON THE END. HIS BOOK DON’T MENTN FATHERHOOD. AND HE THKS ‘MASCULY IS ABOUT BEG A MAN WH A GROUP OF MEN’ — NOT BEG A MAN WH A FAY. BEE HUMANS ARE MAMMALS, HE CLAIMS THAT ‘A GREATER PART OF THE REPRODUCTIVE BURN WILL FALL ON WOMEN.’BUT THIS IS ONLY SUPERFICIALLY TE. Y, MOST SPECI WH TERNAL FERTILISATN, PECIALLY MAMMALS, PARENTAL VTMENT IS FEMALE-DOMATED. EVEN AT BIRTH, THE MAMMALIAN FEMALE DON’T TAKE A BREAK: K, FOR EXAMPLE, IS ANOTHER MAJOR MATERNAL VTMENT. BUT PRECISELY BEE WOMEN ARE MORE LIMED BY PHYSLOGY THAN MEN ARE, THIS MEANS THE FEMALE’S GREATER PARENTAL VTMENT IS A SRCE ROURCE. MAL PETE FOR , FIGHTG AND DYG FOR THE CHANCE TO SEMATE FEMAL. ACRDG TO SYMONS THE EVOLUTN OF HUMAN SEXUALY, ‘EVERYWHERE SEX IS SOMETHG THAT FEMAL HAVE THAT MAL WANT’ (OUP, 1979), P.253.SUBSCRIBESO WHEREAS VTMENT AFTER SEX IS ALWAYS GREATER FOR FEMAL, MAL VT VERY HEAVILY PETN BEFORE SEX. AND SCE THEIR OFFSPRG REQUIRE ROURC, MAL ALSO PETE HEAVILY AFTER BIRTH. DONOVAN CLAIMS THAT SCE ‘MEN WILL NEVER GET PREGNANT’ AND ‘WILL NEVER BE NURSG,’ THIS MEANS ‘THEY WILL BE LS ENCUMBERED BY THEIR CHILDREN.’ HE GO SO FAR AS TO SAY THAT ‘THEY MAY NOT EVEN KNOW WHO THEIR CHILDREN ARE.’ BUT NO SOCIETY HAS PRACTISED POLYANDRY (ONE WIFE MULTIPLE HBANDS) FOR THIS REASON. AT LEAST POLYGYNY (ONE HBAND, MULTIPLE WIV) MEANS BOTH PARENTS ARE KNOWN. BUT EVEN THAT HAS NEVER PRODUCED A LARGE, STABLE AND SUCCSFUL SOCIETY. MONOGAMY TMPS BOTH. AND ’S WOMEN’S PREFERRED MATG STRATEGY BEE ENCUMBERS MEN WH THEIR CHILDREN. IN FACT, WOMEN ARE LS LIKELY TO FIVE A PARTNER GIVG A RIVAL WOMAN ROURC THAN HAVG SEX WH HER. IF SHE GETS PREGNANT, AT LEAST HER CHILD WON’T BE A DRA ON THE FAY’S ROURC IF SHE MEANS NOTHG TO THE MAN. THE EARLIT HUMANS (HUNTER-GATHERERS) WERE STRICTLY MONOGAMO.BUT THE NFN DON’T STOP HERE. “WHAT’S A WOMAN?” HAS BEE A MEME BEE FEMISM — REFG TO ACCEPT THE POTENTIAL FOR MOTHERHOOD AS THE SENCE OF WOMANHOOD — OPENED THE DOOR TO THE TRANSGENR MOVEMENT. IF BEG A WOMAN IS ABOUT REERS, CLOTH AND SMETICS, THEN ANY MAN N BE A WOMAN. BUT IF, FOR DONOVAN, MANHOOD ISN’T THE POTENTIAL FOR FATHERHOOD, HE FAC THE SAME DIFFICULTY. “WHAT’S A MAN?” WELL, HE FLOUNRS, “GREATER STRENGTH DIFFERENTIAT MEN OM WOMEN.” BUT THERE ARE FEMALE STRENGTH ATHLET WHO, WHOUT DGS, N OUTLIFT DONOVAN. STRENGTH N’T BE THE SENCE OF MASCULY. AND N’T BE ANYTHG TO DO WH BAT EHER: WOMEN HAVE KILLED MEN ONT-LE BAT.SO IF ’S NOT STRENGTH, WHAT IS ? MAYBE ’S WHAT DONOVAN LLS ‘MASTERY’ — THE ‘MANLY VIRTUE’ OF DOMATG ONE’S ENVIRONMENT THROUGH TECHNIL PROWS VAR SKILLS. THIS ‘REQUIR HUMAN TELLECT’. BUT WOMEN, TOO, SHARE THIS SAME ‘HUMAN TELLECT’. LIKE A FEMIST WHO LOS FEMY BY DIVORCG OM MOTHERHOOD, DONOVAN LOS MASCULY BY DIVORCG OM FATHERHOOD.THE EPIGRAPH TO HIS BOOK IS BELL HOOKS’S REMARK THAT “GANGSTA CULTURE IS THE SENCE OF PATRIARCHAL MASCULY.” AND EPOMIS HIS MISNCEPTN OF MASCULY. PATRIARCHY IS DADS, NOT GANGSTERS OR GAYS. FATHERS, NOT FORNITORS.BUT DONOVAN LIK THE IA OF GANGSTA CULTURE BEE ’S A PURE POWER STGGLE. FOR DONOVAN, HOBB’S STATE OF NATURE IS AN ‘ONGOG NFLICT BETWEEN SMALL GANGS OF MEN.’ LIKE HOBB, HOWEVER, HE DON’T UNRSTAND THAT THE FAY IS THE FUNDAMENTAL SOCIAL UN. BEFORE THEY ARE MEMBERS OF SMALL GANGS, MEN ARE MEMBERS OF FAI BEE THEY ONLY EXIST AT ALL BEE OF THE FAI THEY WERE BORN TO. THE FAY IS THE FOUNDATN OF THE TRIBE AND BEYOND THAT THE CY AND ULTIMATELY THE NATN. AND MARRIAGE, AS A HUMAN UNIVERSAL, IS A NATURAL RATHER THAN SOCIAL STUTN. PAIR BONDG IS AS OLD AS THE HUMAN SPECI.DONOVAN THKS THAT, ‘PECIALLY WHEN MEN HAVE ACHIEVED A LEVEL OF SECURY AND PROSPERY BEYOND MERE SURVIVAL, WOMEN HAVE BEEN EVALUATED BY MEN BASED LS ON THEIR UTILY THAN ON MORE NEBULO QUALI LIKE ATTRACTIVENS AND SOCIAL CHARM.’ BUT REALLY THERE IS NOTHG NEBULO ABOUT ATTRACTIVENS. MEN VALUE YOUTH WOMEN BEE FEMALE FERTILY PEAKS AT ABOUT AGE 20. EVEN TEENAGE BOYS, FOR EXAMPLE, RATE A WOMAN FIVE YEARS OLR THAN THEM AS THE PERFECT PARTNER. AND PROSTUT N CHARGE TWICE AS MUCH AT 20 YEARS OLD AS THEY N AT 30.MEN ALSO VALUE BETY AND SYMMETRY AS DITORS OF GEIC FNS. THE 0.7 WHR IS PARTICULARLY SIRABLE WOMEN BEE A SMALL WHR IS ASSOCIATED WH HIGHER FERTILY AND HIGHER NEONATAL BIRTH WEIGHT. BUT WAIST PTH VS. WAIST CIRCUMFERENCE IS AN EVEN STRONGER DITOR. IN THE US, WOMEN SPEND TWICE AS MUCH TIME ON MAKP AS ON BOOKS. WHY? MAKP MIMICS YOUTH, RRECTS ASYMMETRI AND SIGNALS SEXUALY.GETTG NEBULO WH NIETZSCHE

Thk of as the ultimate versn of the tree hoe wh a ‘no girls allowed’ sign on the Donovan’s Wikipedia pageBut whereas the Sambia, spe homosexual activy, see marriage to a woman and fatherhood as the eventual pletn of a boy’s journey to manhood, Donovan never mak that far. Androphilia is a manifto full of tly dangero ias: that men n have sex wh men and reta their manhood, that homosexualy n be about champng a mascule ial rather than attackg , and that the "opprsive nstct of masculy, " spised by the gay muny uld actually enrich and improve the liv of homosexual and bisexual men.

Ratgs & ReviewsFriends & Followg Communy ReviewsDisplayg 1 - 26 of 26 reviews13 reviews3 followersOctober 11, 2013While I agree wh Malebranche that gay male inty (masculy vs effemacy-as-the-norm mastream gay culture) needs to be examed and re-asssed, I uld not have imaged a worse person to wre about . It's up to the dividual to ci for themselv what genr they intify as what's troublg to me about that argument om Malebranche, the argument that he's tired of gay guys gettg dicked around and treated as ls than a man, is that if you are "ls of a man, " then follows that you mt be "more of a woman. For me, part of wantg to read this was what seemed to me the preponrance of weenie-queeny typ I kept seeg the media, yet all my homosexual pals were a "Man's-man" and they preferred Clt Eastwood typ over the preeng party kd of men.

ANDROPHILIA: A MANIFTO: REJECTG THE GAY INTY, RECLAIMG MASCULY

Lets face , our long ago past, admiratn between strong male archetyp was not only libly lked our distant culture, was to the pot that some had refed admtance of the validy of this book nnot be overlooked, even at the admonishment of the gay muny. He claims to know how many are legimate relatnships, he claims to know what those gay men thk of marriage, what they thk of genr, whether they prefer male or female iends, and on and on on a number of thgs. To have him go on and on about everythg that's wrong wh gay men, when 's obv his generalizatns are simply badly ma and one-dimensnal, holdg up to ltle more than his own perceptn of how thgs Donovan isn't an untelligent man, even his logic isn't sound at all tim.

Apparently, the Wtern civilizatn is g to an end, and gays shouldn't be allowed to marry bee that will stroy fai and rce birth rate (I'm not makg this up, Donovan mak such arguments this book).

The men at the top of the male domance hierarchy are good at dog what women want. And women hold them high regard, which is why they want to reproduce wh them. Men are the geic filter of the speci. They prove themselv petn wh other men to get attentn om women the hope of beg able to procreate. Siarly, although women don’t exist a domance hierarchy properly speakg — they are arranged poss (or cliqu) rather than a pyramid — what they value is based on what men want. Women wear make up for men’s approval, not each other’s. They are not signallg youth and bety, ultimately proxi for fertily, to other women.</p><p><span>Consir two animal exampl that make the same pot: elephant seals and lns.

No, they have won a game which </span><em>t</em><span>he female make the l and are </span><em>themselv the judg and the priz. </em><span>Among lns, the top mal have the thickt, nst and darkt man.

And if he not only surviv but thriv spe the handip, shows his geic qualy to the femal.</span></p><p><span>Fundamentally, then, Donovan is wrong that ‘when men pete agast each other for stat, they are petg for </span><em>each other’s</em><span> approval.’ It is te that ‘the women whom men fd most sirable have historilly been attracted to—or been claimed by—men who were feared or revered by other men.’ But this is bee those men have passed the tt vised by women. It’s not that ‘female approval has regularly been a nsequence of male approval.’ It’s that, ultimately, female approval term who the top men are. Men don’t ci the succs creria. Bee women want procreators, provirs and protectors, they shape men via sexual selectn to meet that standard. Taller men have a leverage advantage bat, for example, so women prefer height. </span></p><p>It’s not about a gang of gays cidg the tallt one jt looks ol.</p><h1 class="hear-wh-anchor-widget">Fettg the Fay<div id="§fettg-the-fay" class="hear-anchor-widget offset-top"><div class="hear-anchor-widget-button-ntaer"><div href=" class="hear-anchor-widget-button"><svg xmlns=" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-lep="round" stroke-lejo="round" class="hear-anchor-widget-in"><path d="M10 13a5 5 0 0 0 7.54.54l3-3a5 5 0 0 0-7.07-7.07l-1.72 1.71"></path><path d="M14 11a5 5 0 0 0-7.54-.54l-3 3a5 5 0 0 0 7.07 7.07l1.71-1.71"></path></svg></div></div></div></h1><p>This is basic blogy. So how did Donovan get so wrong? Remember: small mistak the begng lead to big on the end. His book don’t mentn fatherhood. And he thks ‘masculy is about beg a man wh a group of men’ — not beg a man wh a fay. Bee humans are mammals, he claims that ‘a greater part of the reproductive burn will fall on women.’</p><p>But this is only superficially te. Y, most speci wh ternal fertilisatn, pecially mammals, parental vtment is female-domated. Even at birth, the mammalian female don’t take a break: k, for example, is another major maternal vtment. But precisely bee women are more limed by physlogy than men are, this means the female’s greater parental vtment is a srce rource. Mal pete for , fightg and dyg for the chance to semate femal.

Donovan claims that sce ‘men will never get pregnant’ and ‘will never be nursg,’ this means ‘they will be ls encumbered by their children.’ He go so far as to say that ‘they may not even know who their children are.’ But no society has practised polyandry (one wife multiple hbands) for this reason.

If beg a woman is about reers, cloth and smetics, then any man n be a woman. But if, for Donovan, manhood isn’t the potential for fatherhood, he fac the same difficulty. “What’s a man?” Well, he flounrs, “greater strength </span><em>differentiat</em><span> men om women.” But there are female strength athlet who, whout dgs, n outlift Donovan. Strength n’t be the sence of masculy. And n’t be anythg to do wh bat eher: women have killed men ont-le bat.</span></p><p>So if ’s not strength, what is ? Maybe ’s what Donovan lls ‘mastery’ — the ‘manly virtue’ of domatg one’s environment through technil prows var skills. This ‘requir human tellect’. But women, too, share this same ‘human tellect’. Like a femist who los femy by divorcg om motherhood, Donovan los masculy by divorcg om fatherhood.</p><p>The epigraph to his book is Bell Hooks’s remark that “gangsta culture is the sence of patriarchal masculy.” And epomis his misnceptn of masculy. Patriarchy is dads, not gangsters or gays. Fathers, not fornitors.</p><p>But Donovan lik the ia of gangsta culture bee ’s a pure power stggle. For Donovan, Hobb’s state of nature is an ‘ongog nflict between small gangs of men.’ Like Hobb, however, he don’t unrstand that the fay is the fundamental social un. Before they are members of small gangs, men are members of fai bee they only exist at all bee of the fai they were born to. The fay is the foundatn of the tribe and beyond that the cy and ultimately the natn. And marriage, as a human universal, is a natural rather than social stutn. Pair bondg is as old as the human speci.</p><p><span>Donovan thks that, ‘pecially when men have achieved a level of secury and prospery beyond mere survival, women have been evaluated by men based ls on their utily than on more nebulo quali like attractivens and social charm.’ But really there is nothg nebulo about attractivens. Men value </span><em>youth</em><span> women bee female fertily peaks at about age 20. Even teenage boys, for example, rate a woman five years olr than them as the perfect partner. And prostut n charge twice as much at 20 years old as they n at 30.</span></p><p>Men also value bety and symmetry as ditors of geic fns. The 0.7 WHR is particularly sirable women bee a small WHR is associated wh higher fertily and higher neonatal birth weight. But waist pth vs. waist circumference is an even stronger ditor. In the US, women spend twice as much time on makp as on books. Why? Makp mimics youth, rrects asymmetri and signals sexualy.</p><h1 class="hear-wh-anchor-widget">Gettg nebulo wh Nietzsche<div id="§gettg-nebulo-wh-nietzsche" class="hear-anchor-widget offset-top"><div class="hear-anchor-widget-button-ntaer"><div href=" class="hear-anchor-widget-button"><svg xmlns=" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-lep="round" stroke-lejo="round" class="hear-anchor-widget-in"><path d="M10 13a5 5 0 0 0 7.54.54l3-3a5 5 0 0 0-7.07-7.07l-1.72 1.71"></path><path d="M14 11a5 5 0 0 0-7.54-.54l-3 3a5 5 0 0 0 7.07 7.07l1.71-1.71"></path></svg></div></div></div></h1><p><span>He’s right to pot out that, ‘to the chagr of masculy’s reimagers, women still rpond sexually to the kds of “alpha” tras and behavrs men that would have ma them good hunters and fighters.’ But note aga that he fails to pot out that ultimately the are the behavurs that would make men good </span><em>protectors and provirs for children. </em><span>Ironilly, then, although Donovan says ‘this book is not about the thgs that make men human’ but only about ‘the thgs that make them men’, he miss his own mark by a e.</span></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{"url":"" data-ponent-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href=" rel><span>Share</span></a></p><p><span>As mentned before, however, there’s some tth .
