There’s an article called “The New Dating Game<\/a>” in the Weekly Standard<\/em> which mentions this blog. It’s written by Charlotte Allen and it is pretty good. But I do want to issue a couple points of correction.<\/p>\n

Roissy\u2019s deliberately outrageous posts are a source of controversy. In a write-up on George Sodini, the man who shot up a gym near Pittsburgh last August, killing 3 women before turning the gun on himself, Roissy contended that Sodini, whose diary revealed that he had not had sex for 20 years before the incident, was simply a frustrated beta barred access to women by the sexual\/feminist revolution and that \u201canything was justified\u201d to avoid the \u201cwalking death\u201d of celibacy. In other words, Sodini was a hapless victim of the sexual revolution.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In that infamous and widely misconstrued post<\/a> (2,255 comments), what I actually wrote was:<\/p>\n

\n

When men kill women, the underlying reason is almost always an unfulfilled\u00a0psychosexual need. This goes for spree shooters, rapists, and serial killers. I\u2019m not surprised Sodini hadn\u2019t had sex in nearly 20 years. As I\u2019ve written before,\u00a0to some men on the losing side of the\u00a0desireability bell curve\u00a0celibacy is walking death<\/a> and anything is justified in avoiding that miserable fate.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I don’t personally argue that “anything is justified” to avoid the miserable fate of involuntary celibacy. I argue that some men who are losers in the mating race will be likelier to find any justification for acting out violently. I didn’t think this was a subtle distinction when I wrote the Sodini post, but judging by the storm of flapping vaj lips from the feministing crowd in response I should not have underestimated the deliberate deceit in which that post would be read.<\/p>\n

Roissy himself, although arguably the most jaded of all the seduction bloggers, is actually a closet moralist who longs for the more constrained past when women dressed modestly (\u201cGirlfriend or Fling?\u201d is all about the kind of clothing and bearing that mark a girl as a \u201cpump-and-dump\u201d), refrained from swearing like sailors, stayed out of men\u2019s beds (except his!), and generally conducted themselves like wife-and-mother material (although he says he has no intention of getting married himself).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

While I argue that a sexual revolution instituted by a female-alpha male axis of ardor will ultimately result in the implosion of a secular modern society, I don’t long for a return to an era of chaste women holding out for marriage. I may describe reality as it is, and what it takes to prevent a first world nation from consuming itself, but I wouldn’t sacrifice my poolside pleasure to help the far-thinking forces of propriety reclaim a moral society that put a lid on loose pussy.<\/p>\n

Postscript: I was asked via email by Allen to do an interview, but I had decided against it. I figure whatever I have to say about blood, sugar, sex, magik I’ll say here. Although Allen’s article turned out to be reasonable (the exception to the rule when dealing with journalists covering the topic of sex relations), most reporters will twist an interviewee’s quotes out of context according to their ideological whim or emotional vendetta. Whatever ethical strictures used to govern journalism have long since faded away in a miasma of rank partisanship and propagandistic hackery.<\/p>\n
