So I'm a 17 year old at an all guys school. I got into a debate with my religion teacher about feminism. He was saying how we need to treat all people equally and how women are treated terribly in this country. I responded by saying how if anything they are treated better than males. I used valid points as women will almost never get arrested for domestic abuse and it will pinned on men. I also said how women get more privileges in divorce cases and that all of these feminist "inequalities" are false. Long story short he ended the discussion and he said if I try to argue the point anymore I'm getting kicked out of class.

Why Milo is my favorite faggot:
He’s like Mycroft Homles and Ron Burgundy combined.
He's the quasar to the SJW black hole.
He’s homo in all the right ways. He’s the old-school, Oscar Wilde, philosophical type gay, before they took over the word gay.
He makes fun of atheists. And dumb scientists who graduated from the Carl Sagan school of sucking your own dick.
Whether it is the lies of modern western feminism or pseudo-science, this homosexual British genius is aligning with my inner demons perfectly.
Annd, He hates Islam and isn’t afraid to bash it for what it is? Yes, the chosen one meant to restore balance to the force has come.
I'm a bible believing christian and I support Milo Yiannopoulos being fucking everywhere, talking about everything. He's that intersectional.

How do you know which areas of leftist thinking to focus on the most when you give your college talks, given that it pervades so many aspects of society (gender relations, media depictions of men, politics, academics, etc)? I always found the statistics regarding men's suicide rate increases, the millennial sexodus and wage gap myths to be some of the most compelling information that really jump-started my break from liberalism. I know safe-spaces and freedom of academic inquiry are probably most pertinent on campuses but I think these areas of statistics are particularly emotionally striking. Big fan, thank you for what you do. #Trump 2016

Do you think the pendulum of power and social values will ever settle between liberal communist hell and conservative fascism into a libertarian paradise or do you think it will progressively swing less and less or higher and higher? Cheers

Agree with everything Milo says, right up until he starts shilling for that pedo-cult Catholicism.
I mean I know he finds the fluid and oral rituals comforting and all, and the intellectual rigor of how many Jesuit can fit in the head of a pin, but can we have a little more objectivity here ?
Church has basically blue pilled whole societies like Latin America, and I don't think they should get a glib pass on that.
[deleted] 8y ago
Hey Milo! I sense a subtle link between RP ideas and religious conservatism. I've spent a good deal of time studying philosophical concepts and examining religious arguments myself and I completely understand the motivations for being religious. However, I notice that the religious motivations become an easy point of criticism for left feminist types. My question to you is do you think that the men's rights movement would benefit from not using religious arguments against the left? I'm of the opinion that these positions can be reached from a purely rational/logical standpoint with a little life experience.

Hi Milo, this is not a question on Feminism or TRP, this is a question on ADHD, which for some reason you like to bring into the topics you discuss frequently. Unlike the other things you talk about regularly, you know very little if anything about ADHD. Don't you think it would be wiser to not spread possible false information if you don't know much about it. The problem with ADHD is the name and type of name. It's trivial and offensive as a name to those with the actual problem. Also the part that names it a disorder. If it was called a 'Syndrome', like Autism, and given a proper name instead of something that is quite offensive to the people with the problem, then people would be more understanding about it. My question is, do you know enough to talk on news channels possibly spreading false information about it? Maybe you should talk to Professor David Nutt, who I am sure you are aware of.
ACraftyApe 8y ago
Oh one more question;
It is ancient history for me now but when I was in university, an unpleasant feminazi lecturer literally accused me of sexual harrassment and reported me because on our universitys facebook page I posted a spiderman meme that said "I'm seriously about to slap a bitch" that wasn't directed at anyone. When I tried to defend myself and justify myself she just threw the metaphorical book at me and basically implied I had no right to defend myself because I went against some vague, open to interpretation university rules that I was never made aware of. I ended up getting an 18 month caution attached to my university student record that left me too concerned to apply for jobs where they might look back at my university record. So my question is a tough one but what is the best way to deal with these dogmatic loonies that are happy to make your life a misery when you did something so minor just for a laugh?

Speaking out against rampant leftism on campus is like speaking out against Nazism in Auschwitz. Expect to get punished and no-one to listen to your pleas. Remember Law #38: Think as you like but behave as others do. Telling a pearl-clutching leftist "you're being crazy and here's why" is not going to make them say "you know what, I hadn't considered that argument before and your points are rational. I am now a conservative!" - if they did that, they'd already be conservatives.

As that law says, once you're in a stable position or a position of power, then and only then can you attempt to change public values.

Milo, yo. Why are sjw and feminists so very entitled? What generational shift has happened to make them think they are such victims and how can we prevent it in the next generation?
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
Millennials are the first entirely middle-class generation in history. None of them have ever wanted for anything, so they invent grievances and manufacture trauma. No one--not parents, teachers or professors--ever told them they were being ridiculous or challenged their assumptions, so they have grown up into foolish, poorly-educated and egotistical young adults spouting nonsense dogma about oppression.
Universities bear most of the responsibility for this. Safe space and trigger warning culture should be stamped out; free speech should be rigorously enforced. And space must be made for libertarian, classical liberal and right-wing professors, so students have access to a range of views.

Would certainly be nice to see that instead of the increasing calls for racial diversity across American campuses in the wake of the "Mizzou" protests.
We should be moving further into the realm where gender and race doesn't matter, but rather your individual actions, opinions and ability to use logic, reason and facts.
Instead, it feels like the authoritarian left is pulling us back to a pro-segregation society all in the name of feelings and superficial representation.
Ultimately, if you feel uncomfortable and unrepresented simply because someone in a position of authority doesn't share something as meaningless as their genitals or skin colour as you,, then that says quite a lot about you as an individual.

Christina Hoff Sommers noted in a recent interview that it was the Dear Colleague Letter that was the defining moment that emboldented SJWs and campus liberals to go full retard with their "regressive" behaviors. I think she hit the nail on the head with this one. Ever since 2011-2012, things took a sharp turn for the worse. You mentioned before that campus administrators are allowing these kids to run around unchecked, and I think it's this specter of Title IX that the DCL represents that's driving all this.
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
Yes, for sure. The DCL had the effect it did because it threatened the one thing colleges care about: their funding.
Interversity 8y ago
For anyone who wants to know more: the Dear Colleague letter on sexual assault (AKA April 4th directive) directly guides colleges and universities that receive federal funding (~100%) to use school tribunes and justice systems to investigate and prosecute sexual assault cases. In addition, most egregiously, it commands the use of the 'preponderance of the evidence' standard, which is to say that if it is 50.1% likely that the claim is true, the defendant is found guilty. In many cases this results in suspension, expulsion, removal from university housing or jobs, restraining orders etc. often without sufficient evidence.
In addition, guidelines for interim measures are provided, and list such measures as changing housing arrangements (kick the rapist off campus), restraining orders (make the rapist live in fear while on campus), removal from shared classes (ruining rapist's ability to complete their degree on time), etc. all of which can be instituted with NO EVIDENCE of any crime being committed, and we already know of multiple cases where such measures have been taken against students who are known to not have committed a crime. I'll dig up the story.

My thoughts precisely. I've always been annoyed at gays that try to be women, and only seem to be effective at imitating their vices.
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
Gays are so boring. They've allowed the Left to domesticate them with "gay marriage." What the fuck. The whole point of being gay is pushing boundaries, getting away with murder, testing the limits of what can be thought and said. Gays are natural cultural libertarians.
Gays are also allies in the fight against feminism--we're subject to many of the same injustices men are, such as paying more in tax for fewer services, and we don't even want to have sex with women! In a way, the structural unfairnesses visited upon men in society are even more unjust when applied to gays because we don't have skin in the reproductive game.
That's why it's a shame to see some gays--but only some--buy into progressive bullshit and start playing along with the genderqueer nonsense. But take heart: half the gay men in the UK at the last election admitted they were voting conservative. The queeny, hand-wringing, language-policiing LGBT losers are the minority.
Those campy, prissy, lisping queers are a large slice of gay life, but there are plenty of gay men who find all that stuff utterly repugnant. They are starting to get braver about saying so, in my experience.
Riktenkay 8y ago
As someone who's very left wing, I can not take any heart in anyone voting Conservative. I fucking hate the Tories.
And this is a big part of why I feel so lost in the current political spectrum. The left wing parties are all radical feminist SJW nutjobs, and the right wing parties are all... well... right wing. I hate capitalism, I hate racism, and yes I hate sexism despite the fact that feminists are always labelling me as a misogynist. I feel like there's nobody that represents my point of view any more. I voted Green in the last election because they honestly had the best sounding policies for the most part, but they're also the worst when it comes to this SJW bullshit.
ECoast_Man 8y ago
This is definitely true, as an observation from a straight man in the law/finance sector.
Most gay men I know in these areas work crazy hours, don't want kids (good thing in this area), dress the part immaculately (that stereotype is true) in exchange for bonuses and their annual trip wherever with their boyfriends.
These guys fucking hate the gender gap myth and so on because they simply work harder.

BioGenx2b 8y ago

juschillinn 8y ago
I didn't realise you were such a bigot. 'The point of being gay is getting away with murder' what the fuck? So being gay is a lifestyle choice for you and not a natural disposition? You think you're owed something for making a lifestyle choice? Also, interesting to see your attitude and pretty much denial of gender queer dispositions.
I'm neither here nor there on 'genderqueer nonsense' but do you not feel labeling anything like that as nonexistent is similar to people saying you can't be naturally homosexual, you're just crazy for sex and will shag anything.
Notthevictim 8y ago
Just curious, do you personally believe in gay marriage? I've never really heard your opinion on that. I understand that you believe gays shouldn't get married/"domesticated", but for those that do prefer that lifestyle, are you personally against them having that right?

I'm too straight and white to pull it off, yet also too conservative to pin any ideology on me. I lost my first job in the City because of it a few months in, cast out by a plot by a bunch of over-sensitive chicks in the sales dept; this PC policing is scary. (edit: added previous sentence). People want to destroy what they can't understand, is how I'd previously thought of it.

All marriage should be "illegal" ("not legal"? I feel like there isn't a word for what I mean... illegal implies there's punishment). The government shouldn't have anything to do with people's romantic relationships.
Notthevictim 8y ago
That's my opinion. That's between you/your partner/your church. But Milo seems to think heterosexual marriage is fine but gay marriage isn't and he justified that in a weird way that doesn't take into account differences between people and their lifestyle decisions.
itsmehobnob 8y ago
How does one believe in gay marriage? It's not something to be taken on faith. It is a demonstrably real thing. Belief or non-belief does not make it more or less so.
rp_valiant 8y ago
Stop nitpicking. When you "believe" in something like this it means you believe it in the political sense, i.e. you believe it is a positive to society. Same goes for believing in gender equality, racial equality, etc.

spirit_of_mattvity 8y ago
There's something I don't get about the gay being nurture and nature mixed debate. I could see having sex with men as a form of building relationships, intimacy, and obtaining sexual release. It carries no strong appeal, this is flatly intellectually conceived, so perhaps it's something I couldn't really do, but I can at least conceive of it. What I can't conceive of is not wanting to have sex with women. It's not even an option. It's a telling a fish not to swim situation.

I don't think there's many straight guys around that would "try men" as a result of feminism. Male sexuality seems to be a lot less flexible than female, and gay friends of mine have always either been gay or confused, never fully straight. I'd be interested in other perspectives though.

rp_valiant 8y ago
Possibly - after all, the classical-era Greeks used to have sex with other men with impunity and no-one thought anything of it. I think it's probably one of those situations where creating labels encourages people to pick which one they belong to, especially if one particular label is seen as "normal" (straight). Having said that, I can't imagine having sex with a man myself - guys just aren't my cup of tea.

as Jim Jeffries put it, "I could never fuck a man, because I could never fuck something that I respect".
I can't really relate to the phenomenon of projection or trying to understand/interpret other people's experience. At the end of the day, they can do what they want and I don't really care as long as it doesn't personally harm me. Compared to SJWs who try to be supportive to the point of patronising to anyone who isn't a straight white male, all in the name of "equality". I don't get it - surely equality is simply not caring what other people do in their own time?

Hey Milo I saw you on JRE and you were phenomenal. I know it's a longshot, but if you enjoyed being on a podcast I'm sure the guys over on the PKA subreddit would love to have you on. I know I've seen the fans suggest them trying to get you on before, and I know I'd personally love to see you on.
A little about the show:
It's run by 3 hosts, Woodysgamertag, a youtuber that used to make gaming videos, and give life advice to the people that needed it. MurkaDurkah a guy that made youtube videos for fun back in the day that was beloved by a core following, and FPS Russia, the "professional russian" that makes videos of himself doing cool shit with guns and has amassed a following of nearly 6 million subscribers doing it.
It's a 4 hour show, however guests don't always stay for the full length, and aren't expected to. (It is a bonus though!)
They cover all different topics from current events to their personal experiences.
All 3 hosts are somewhat conservative, while being socially liberal, and they are more informed than the average bear so to speak.

TheIceMagCometh 8y ago
Hi Milo! My husband (a conservative Democrat) and I have repeated disagreements about how dangerous for America the extreme PC climate on campuses and elsewhere. He contends that college youth have been this dumb and irritating since the 60's and nobody really takes them seriously and they do the Left more harm than good by being so off putting. Please, in the words I can't seem to find, explain why he's wrong.
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
He's not wrong--college kids have always been dumb. But there's a difference today, and it's that the administrators and staff relinquished their responsibility to stamp out the worst excesses some time ago, with the result that silly opinions that ought to have been challenged and matured out of on campus were allowed to flourish in a "safe space."
These kids grew up and got jobs at Gawker and Buzzfeed still believing in the politics of the student union. Thus: we have a media that indulges in the same grievance-based, victimhood-obsessed, fact-free, feelings-driven garbage as you see on campuses.
Yet even this virtuous circle of moron reinforcement could be broken if faculty staff and college leaders were brave enough to say: "Don't be so fucking stupid. You are not oppressed. The 'safe space' you are demanding is called America; it's what enables you to speak your mind freely, however empty that mind might be. You are here to be challenged--get used to it. Now go back to class, or you'll be expelled."
In my view, any student demanding a trigger warning or safe space should be immediately expelled. They have demonstrated that they are incapable of completing the requirements of their degree.

Men are told constantly by the media and by politicians that they are broken and evil--that men are the source of all the world's ills.
Bullshit. If there's a gender in crisis, it's women. Women are in a total mess, thanks to feminism, asking for things they don't really want and turning themselves into grotesque spectacles because someone told them their self-esteem shouldn't be tied to their sex appeal. They end up more miserable than ever before.
The fact is, most women don't deserve most men. If I were straight, I suspect I would be going my own way too.

A lot of men barely get any attention paid to, a typical guy will get maybe five or six compliments in a year while a girl can get those in half a day. Therefore, their value is, appearance-wise, lower while girl's values are somehow overinflated.

Women were attacked first. Via feminism. And men helped and drove that effort. Let's be honest, women would never cook a society destroying scheme like feminism up themselves. They are simply not interested in such endeavors. Ester Villar describes it very well in her book the manipulated man.
Basically men do not understand why women are so simple minded/ uninterested in science or progress and thought they need help to excel and achieve like men. To be happy you need to do what makes me happy. And thus the push started to emancipate women.
Berend09 8y ago
Maybe a few cunning men (politicians & mob bosses) were involved in the 1st wave of feminism. I would argue that the opportunist of the feminism group hijacked the Prohibitionist movement of the early 20th-century and used that as their basis of argument of securing a foothold in American politics. The sob story of my husband spending all his money at the bar was the rallying cry of 1st wave feminism. Women are products of nature but they do inherently strive for power with outside influence.

Feminism makes women ugly. It attracts ugly women in the first place, and then tells them to get even uglier. I don't want to keep shilling my columns here but I wrote on this a while back, I think. Even Lindy West agrees that women who don't confirm to traditional beauty standards (read: too lazy to work out and get their hair done) seek out progressive politics.
KyfhoMyoba 8y ago
Feminism tells all women that they are entitled to, and can actually obtain all the benefits of a high value man (if only special people like us make all the laws). This appeals most to women at the bottom of the sexual market, as they are least able to naturally land such a man in a free sexual market.

Milo, Thank you very much for your exemplary work and for doing this AMA.
The goalposts of being "not racist/sexist/masculine" are always moving when leftists are in power. Where/When do you see the current censorship of any pro-male sentiment ending?
Moral responsibility, accusations of phobias, and statistical misinterpretation is often used against men in order to get them to believe in gender equality and other such nonsense. When confronted with these strategies used against them, men often cover their eyes and recite the party lines. Is there anything compelling that you have seen which can snap them out of this trance (Besides potential for sex/videogames) ?
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
Thanks for the kind words!
I genuinely think we're about to see a big shift away from crazy feminist progressivism. The public is starting to catch on now, and they are incensed by the lunacy and unfairness of what they see. Most women don't hate men, and they are appalled by misandrist feminists who do.
There will always be a vocal minority of lunatics, but from my interactions with journalists and TV producers, the appetite for outrage-led, fact-free stories about confected feminist grievances is coming to an end. When that happens, men and arguments in favour of men will naturally begin to reassert themselves, because our views are based on facts, not feelings.

For most people, the answer is: don't try. At least not yet. It's too soon. Let people like me clear the way first.

A 14 year old friend of mine got suspended for telling a student(girl) feminist in his class that the wage gap was a myth. She cried and he got an inschool suspension, he then gets an essay assignment(unrelated) to write about why feminism is a great movement and how The Great Gatsby is patriarchal and sexist. He's stuck in the downward spiraling loop of punishment by the school for things he thinks are bullshit and is voicing himself. He is pulling F's in all his classes and he feels rejected by the education system, how do I get it through his head that school is important and help him feel that he still has control in his life? Should he speak out against his school, his teachers, what should I tell him?

No it's real, he definitely exacerbated things with the girl to make it worse so that he was suspended but the root of his outrage was feminism. It was an in-school suspension, so complete isolation from other students. The essay is completely unrelated and is an actual assignment, I'll show you a picture of it http://imgur.com/tIHt5ld . It's awful, telling him that if he is a man he is sexist, if he is not a feminist, he is sexist. it's completely corrupting for young boys to be forced this mantra.

Perhaps give him a copy of the 48 laws of power.
The book obviously, but a summary is here http://www.tke.org/files/file/The_48_Laws_of_Power.pdf
e.g.
Law 38
Think as you like but Behave like others
If you make a show of going against the times, flaunting your unconventional ideas and unorthodox ways, people will think that you only want attention and that you look down upon them. They will find a way to punish you for making them feel inferior. It is far safer to blend in and nurture the common touch. Share your originality only with tolerant friends and those who are sure to appreciate your uniqueness.
kidchillin 8y ago
Thanks, this is a great list of morality and I'll try to blend some of this into our conversations.

He made the situation worse than it had to be, he most likely got into a vicious argument with her or called her a cunt or something along those lines. I didn't ask for specifics but he said that he made the situation way worse. Regardless, the root of his outrage came from feminism, the modern movement based on directionless anger.
dointhisforfun 8y ago
I see. My advice is to remain civil. If you're going around calling people cunts, then you're probably being punished for being an asshole, not for being right. I've had problems like that before, and I solved them by treating whoever I was arguing with like a person. The truth is still on your side, and it's a powerful weapon. You know you've really won when you don't have to call people cunts to articulate your point.

Should instead write his essay on the outpouring of Cultural Marxism as of late and how that links to feminism
Would be worth it just to see her reaction
kidchillin 8y ago
Considering it's an english class where historical context will most likely be forgone, it is a strange place to be teaching Marxism. If it were a history class that would be different because there would be lectures explaining the context in which capitalism was born and the struggles the working class faced. Leaving young students to their own devices to come up with a, most likely, wrongly informed opinion about capitalism would be more dangerous than learning about it in an environment where the teacher can fully explain the consequences of socialism. Knowledge is power and some of it should be taught with supervision.

I helped him to develop his ideas, and edited it for him, but these are all his thoughts.

Poor kid is still going through the anger phase. Great report otherwise. I would change that sentence as well.
kidchillin 8y ago
I agree it's a harsh point to make, but I'd say that there is less sympathy for someone who gets beaten when they themselves are a terrible person. It's never right to resort to violence but there is definitely a reason behind it in the case of the story. It's a risky thing to put in the essay, no doubt, but I think we can also sympathize with the impassioned point of view of the husband who was cheated on. It may be a bitter-sweet victory for him seeing the woman he's in love with treated in a physical fashion the way he was psychologically. She completely destroyed him.
P.S The basis for her leaving him is that his business begins to falter and she wouldn't stand by him as he tried to repair his life so she ran off with the more successful man almost immediately, without getting a divorce, just throwing it in his face.
[deleted] 8y ago
I kinda agree, it really reminds me of Donald trump. I remember in one of the earlier debates someone said how his business went bankrupt and those poor bankers lost their money because of him. Trump says something like those cutthroat bankers aren't poor victims themselves either. Same goes with some women. They play some mad crazy psychological games that can really drive people to insanity, and then play some poor powerless victim when someone slaps them...

That, the DWPs mistreatment of the unfit for work leading to thousands of deaths, the deals with Saudi Arabia and China at the expense of our own economy, the massive subsidy slashes to renewable energy resources just two days after promising otherwise alongside other world leaders because "there's no money", mostly because they just gave it to fossil fuel lobbyists, attempting to scrap the human rights act in the UK and draw up their own subject to their own whims, Osbourne's attempt to defund Short money, aka the funding for opposition parties which is basically the check that prevents a dictatorship, the campaign to squeeze money from councils and firesales of public assets instead of going after their corrupt friends, both stuffing the house of Lords and then attempting to remove its power when they realised it could still vote against them and would, their constant attempts to introduce backdoor deals and bills to compromise the rights of their citizens aka Investigative Powers, TTIP, dismantling of Union power by legalising the hiring of strikebreaker agencies AND requiring that any action has to be voted in favour by a majority of ELIGIBLE voters instead of involved ones, gerrymandering, smear campaigns, being in Murdoch's pocket, being run by a pigfucking thug who didn't even recognise the depths of his incompetence when it came to his own constituency (seriously, those letters are enlightening) and his basehead mate who was literally a pool boy at a country club and a data entry clerk before being handed the power to bring a nation to its knees... I mean, I could go on.
rp_valiant 8y ago
interesting, I haven't really been following what the conservatives have been doing but I'll have to look closer at what's been going on. I didn't vote this election but I was hoping the conservatives would get in based on a very rough right-left political association (I'm an orange-book llb dem myself) but I've so far been incredibly disappointed with what they've done that I had been following. All this just gives me more to look into.
I still consider myself right-wing, but I never closely associated with cons myself. I'd sooner associate as a classical liberal.
ThatLexxyFellow 8y ago
Yeah, it's really quite something. I work in M&A so I'm constantly having to keep up to date on business trends - we're predicted to lose around 18,000 of the 32,000 jobs in the UK solar industry after the subsidy cut, for example.
I understand your position - I'm the same way with a lot of my left-leaning policies. Ultimately the reason I describe myself as a left-centrist is that I believe in socialised programmes, and that the government should have a duty of care to those unable to take off on their own merit in a free society, rather than the overtly communistic "everyone should fall between these two points". I don't have a problem with the idea of wealth - just the rich that step on and create the poor to get there, and the programmes that allow or help this to happen.
rp_valiant 8y ago
I don't think our policies are too far apart - my opinion on those two issues respectively:
Supporting those with difficulties should be the responsibility of family and charities. It seems that when we have a welfare state, those who are perfectly capable of holding down a job if they tried occasionally decide to live off the earnings of others instead. I suppose stricter controls on welfare might do the same job but that's my primary opposition. That, and that a welfare state never shrinks - the number of protected groups only ever goes up under a left-leaning leadership.
PabloEscoba 8y ago
Milo do you see a futre whereby men's issues are acknowledged instead of being ridiculed. What do you think will be a catalyst for this?
ECoast_Man 8y ago
Milo, thanks for stopping by. To make a couple of preliminary points I think you're bang on about two things- 1) that gay men and TRP men (men in generally really, aside from the manginas) are allies in the war against tatted horrors that is feminism (I mentioned earlier I'm in the law/finance sector and I have actually has these discussions with gay men, who happen to be top-billers in the firm); and 2) I think you're absolutely correct that for most of us men we need to wait for the social-Justice proof - you, karen straughn, CHS, to bring this to the mainstream before we can 'out' ourselves.
Questions -
1) Any comments on the Anita Sarkeesian bet? I think we all knew she wouldn't debate you, but any good background info on that? Anyone reach out or whatever?
2) any chance you could elaborate on the Gregory Elliot case in Canada? You mentioned you had a vested interest as a journalist, and you wrote a piece on it, but I was hoping for a big answer as to why you as a journalist are watching this?
redpillschool Admin 8y ago
Thanks for coming to do this AMA here. Your work is often posted with great admiration here.
My question- What do you think about the cultural shift that TRP represents? Many consider us to be just a bunch of misogynists, including men's rights supporters who would prefer not to have anything to do with us. What's your take on TRP?
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
People who virtue-signal for a living (most journalists, most people on Twitter) can't understand why a gay guy would spend his time sticking up for straight dudes. They are idiots. I write about this stuff because I see people being lied about and I don't like it and because I think third-wave feminism is driving the sexes apart and I don't think that's good for the future of the species.
As for the misogyny stuff, well. I've never met a single MRA, PUA, Red Piller, you name it with 10% of the hatefulness, vitriol and spite of an Amanda Marcotte or Jessica Valenti. By and large the men I meet in places like this are smart, creative, funny, provocative and interesting.

NightwingTRP 8y ago
If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around to hear it. How many women were raped?
The ideology of feminism is clear - even if there is no crime "it might not be in this case, but it's still happening somewhere else." We don't need women in order for you to have committed rape.
ThatLexxyFellow 8y ago
This is what always stuns me about "Trigger Warnings" campaigners. It's not "This offends me", it's "This might be offensive to someone". If the human equivalent of stubbing your little toe that is demanding censorship isn't even offended, how could someone else be??
[deleted] 8y ago
That applies to a lot more than rape.
"Maybe I don't want to study STEM, but other women do."
"Maybe I don't want to work 50 hours a week but other women do."
"Maybe I don't want an equal relationship but other women do."
The women who do want the things feminists ask for are so few and far between that it's damn near impossible to find any of them, but with that nice clever rhetorical trick, they can just keep on asking forever and ever.
NightwingTRP 8y ago
Absolutely. And thus you have a neverending list of things you can do to offend them worse than Nazis ever could.

She is not a talented writer, she has very little personal experience from which to draw subject matter and she doesn't have that many connections in media. She's still one of the most-read columnists on The Guardian. She's very good at what she does.

We in the MRA communities by no means consider you woman haters, we (or at-least many) consider the idea of manipulating a system that is considerably against us to obtain sex, as something that leaves a bad taste in our mouth, however we have nothing against the idea of "improving yourself" in fact many of us (i have at times) advocated this, i have seen others advocate the fact that some of the things brought up here are incredibly important, at one point i saw people on the MRA forums discussing the low self-esteem of males within society, solely because it was brought up here and we were discussing the merits of the red-pill.
We don't consider you misogynists, we simply dislike some aspects of the approach you take, but that's only some aspects, we do find some people such as "roosh" deplorable, but that's an individual and he by no means represents the entirety of your movement. Personally i would like to see closer collaboration between TRP and MRA's when it comes to addressing mens issues, specifically related to suicide and the general low self-esteem of men, and i think much of the MRA community wouldn't mind this, we just don't like some aspects of your approach (but when it comes to the areas i would like to see better collaboration on, they aren't a necessity), and we dislike that people seem to represent us as if we were you guys, however thats to be expected, no one likes to be consistently called the wrong name.

They share many common traits, but there is a distinction to be made I suppose, I dont know enough about the red pill to provide it though. By common traits I refer to the fact they both aim to increase the amount sex an individual receives, the distinction I suppose can be made at what they are manipulating? Roosh and PUA manipulate women whereas trp manipulate and play a messed up system (as well as advocating other things as well)?? Correct me if I'm wrong however, like I said I'm not an expert on trp or pua so its the outwards looking in view

Hi, Milo.
In listening to you recently on the Joe Rogan Experience, you seem to have deeply held religious beliefs. How do you rationalize your support of that religion when they've done all they can to ostracize people of your sexual orientation?

Anyone who suggests being Catholic and being gay are incompatible is ignorant not only about homosexuality but Christianity, too.
For one thing, the Catholic church has done more to shelter homosexuals from persecution than any other institution in history. Worried about getting bullied, arrested or worse for your sexual proclivities? Join the clergy, and the church will protect you. It was that way for hundreds of years, way before the rest of society caught up and stopped chemically castrating gays.
I've never in my life experienced prejudice or discrimination from a Catholic for my sexual orientation. Gays, on the other hand, have told me to go take a bath with a toaster and have come close to physically assaulting me because I have the wrong political opinions.
I can't remember who said this, but there's a great quote about Protestants going to church because they know they are good people; Catholics going because they know they aren't. What's wrong with having a code for life you believe will lead you to happiness, even if you fall short? (Because by the way, that whole "born this way" thing? It's PR, with no basis in science. We are all a mixture of nature and nurture.)
The Left insists on ideological purity: step outside the prevailing consensus and you are history. That's how you get feminists like Germaine Greer vilified by campus feminists. Yet the consistency they insist on from others--how can you be a gay Catholic? You must hate yourself!--they never demand from themselves, indulging in an absurd pic'n'mix approach to personal identity where a person can, with a straight face, claim to be a "polyamorous nonbinary genderqueer hobbit," as though that were somehow less ridiculous than a Christian who happens to be gay.
Don't go along with petty, intellectually vacuous demands for "consistency." Recognise that life is messy and complicated and that people are messy and complicated too. We are all conflicted; we are all trying to do the best we can to live a good life. We all contain multitudes, as Whitman put it.
The Princess Bride is garbage and you should feel ashamed of yourself for pretending to like it for social plaudits.

This is a great quote.
I know that I'm a sinner.
The 10 Commandments and the teachings of Christ are things worth believing in. They help to create and maintain civil societies and give people some really good reasons and a solid foundation for being good, doing good, and loving your fellow human in a cold hard world full of sin, temptation and treachery.
I also believe that when children have a firm Christian base to work off of, they generally tend to be better adults. No one is perfect, but to strive for perfection and improvement should be a lifelong endeavor.

I know I read an essay by Evelyn Waugh where he explained his conversion to Rome in those terms; I don't recall him specifically distinguishing Protestantism, though. I'll look it up tonight.
Waugh is a good example of a Catholic (by conversion) who clearly didn't worry much about the "sinfulness" of homosexuality, which he described as mere "naughtiness" in Brideshead Revisited. I do think, though, that his (and your) experience is colored by your particular locale. In other places, in particular South America and Africa, the Catholic faith has been less aegis and more malleus.
I love your work, Milo. Please keep it up. And if you're ever in Chicago shoot me a message, dinner is on me.

You even aknowledge that there are no scientific proofs backing the "born this way" concept. Amazing. If only a tenth of world's people reasoned as you do, we would be living in a better world.
On a side note, i'm always amazed at the sheer ignorance people shows about the percentage of homosexuals in the clergy. People act like priests, bishops and cardinals were stereotipical straight men, if anything, the percentage of homosexuals is much much higher inside the church than outside, and it's easy to see and to understand.

I've been reminded--it was Evelyn Waugh. And the exact wording is:
“The Protestant attitude seems to be, ‘I am good; therefore I go to church,’ while the Catholic’s is, ‘I am very far from good; therefore I go to church.’”
Wtfiwwpt 8y ago
I'll have to look up that stuff. I consider myself Reformed (of the Presbyterian bent) and it was my understanding that pretty much any Christian believed that church was a place for sinners in the same way a hospital is a place for the sick.

doyoulikemenow 8y ago
I think it's a little unfair to insist on generalising feminists so thoroughly, while refusing to generalise Catholics. Plenty of Catholics will insist that "you have to adhere to the following beliefs or you're not really a Christian", just as plenty of feminists won't have an entire shopping list of things you have to believe to be a feminist. They're both 'broad churches'.
bluedrygrass 8y ago
But Chatolics aknowledge, and they're really the only group on earth that does so, that nobody (well, only one) is perfect. Also the beliefs of chatolics are pretty few and the same since 2015 years.
doyoulikemenow 8y ago
Catholics?
Lots of people who have nothing to do with Catholicism will say "nobody is perfect". Most people, in fact.
They're not pretty few. In fact, they have an entire book of beliefs...
(I'm being a little facetious. I know that their beliefs are partly based on the bible and partly on other things, and that in practice some elements of the bible are left out)
bluedrygrass 8y ago
But the beliefs of the bible are reasumable in a short list, and it's always the same. Progressive's beliefs cannot be listed in a lifetime, and they're constantly changing.
doyoulikemenow 8y ago
Are you French by any chance? "reasumable" isn't a word. You'd probably say "the beliefs of the bible can be summed up in a short list".
I'm not American, so I don't use "progressive" or "liberal" like they do, but I'm probably on that end of the political spectrum. I have a relatively simple set of beliefs, which are pretty stable. I'm happy to talk if you have any specific questions.

At my church the only sentiment that seems to remain is that they don't want marriages, but with that in mind, in my church body there are active members who are in fact gay... I hate the catholic guilt narrative :(
HereComesChuckieChan 8y ago
I've fallen away from the church, but I have to say I don't know any Catholics that actively dislike or try to guilt people for being gay. They are certainly anti gay marriage, but respect for all people is taught in the Catholic church. The media seems to clump together groups like Evangelicals with the church and just assume the anti gay marriage sentiment is from a place of hate. It really isnt. Catholics truly believe that allowing gay marriage will bring heavy damage to the institution of marriage, that isn't from a place of hate, it's from a place of concern for one of the most important parts of a religious persons life. Totally understandable in my opinion.
rathyAro 8y ago
You know thinking about it. I don't know any Christians that hate gays either and I've been going to church my entire life. In fact my mom, who is Christian, has specifically said to me that it is wrong to hate gay people and a head figure in my old church even went on a rant about how absurd she thought it was that a church would not welcome a gay person with open arms. The vast majority of churches I've visited are extremely open to any kind of person, because at the end of they day they want new members and churches are intended to be the place to go for outcasts.
douglas_p 8y ago
I went to Catholic schools for 12 years, and I have the hardest time explaining to people that going to a Catholic church is nothing like they think it is. The priests mostly just advocate personal reflection, staying humble, and not being an asshole to others. I can't think of a single sermon that was dedicated to fire and brimstone, hating gays, etc.

When will the gay movement distance itself from feminazism?
NightwingTRP 8y ago
Hi Milo, thanks in advance, it's very generous of you to give your time here.
Despite the rise of the cultural libertarians online, here in the UK we still have a deeply engrained sexism within our political system that allows female politicians to openly state words to the effect of "fathers don't really matter" (Harriet Harman) and openly laughing at the male suicide epidemic "because every day is international men's day." (Jess Phillips.) Naturally any male politician who said the female equivalent would have been sacked on the spot. It is truly galling to see Jess Phillips is still in post.
Given the way our political system works, that most politicians come from very privileged backgrounds, do you see them actually coming around to balance things out? From what I can tell, it's in their favour to keep the focus on sexism and racism as a distraction from rising levels of inequality and poverty. (Particularly given the recent research from the LSE indicating that there is a glass floor for people born into wealthy and powerful backgrounds.) I'm not really convinced that there is a significant level of either sexism (against women at least) or racism in our society, and I'm also not convinced these people are genuinely as stupid as the SJWs who think there is. That's my educated explanation of the situation. Would be interested in your thoughts.
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
Yes, there are plenty of horrible, sociopathic people openly laughing at serious health issues in public life--on both sides of the Atlantic. The flippancy with which feminists and female politicians dismiss the male suicide epidemic and IMD is chilling. And yes, I think it comes from privilege and ignorance.
Personally I want to see more irreverent working-class heroes charge into politics--or at least the people who stick up for common sense and science, which political and media elites no longer do.
Farage and Trump both perform this function in politics; people like Coulter, McInnes and me do so in media. And although you might not want any of these people running a country or editing a newspaper, respectively (I do, but I'm an anarchist--YMMV), what cultural libertarians and mischievous dissident thinkers are doing--and how terrifying they are to the Establishment--is hugely exciting.
We're launching nukes into politically correct spaces and discourses because we recognise what you all recognise: that telling the truth has become a punishable offence.

Leftist compassion is generally not really compassion - it's Marxist class struggle (ie rooting for the underdog because you want to see the system destroyed) mixed with virtue signalling.
I think that explains why leftists generally don't donate much to charity. Studies have shown that conservatives donate far, far more.
[deleted] 8y ago
Well that could be because most leftist are poor/lazy and don't have much to donate. Personally every leftist I know has no money, and people who do make a lot of money turn conservative for some reason
Sdom1 8y ago
There are a ton of wealthy leftists/liberals. There are also many who are run of the mill affluent professional types - doctors, lawyers, etc. The whole "conservatives are all rich and liberals are the everyman" narrative is just that - a narrative.
Studies have shown that this isn't a small difference, either - many leftists don't donate ANYTHING to charity, and the welfare state kills charitable giving in general.
[deleted] 8y ago
Well I was just laying some anecdotes, not much else, and I was saying that conservatives being richer than liberals is a general thing not universal. I just don't know what study you're talking about either. Did it talk about percentage of wealth donated or did t talk about total amount of money?
Sdom1 8y ago
But it's not even true in general. Each side has its wealthy and its poor. Silicon Valley has plenty of billionaires who are super lefty, for example.
I am at work and will find the studies later. This has been confirmed plenty of times. There was a famous, wealthy leftist who said "Charity? We're socialists, not Christians." Or something to that effect.

This really shone through in the case of Nigel Farage. He was never going to gain any real power, UKIP won a grand total of 1 seat in Parliament, and ironically what little support they did have was generated largely by the media and political opponents that hated them in a kind of Streisand effect.
As a conservative you probably don't think much of Corbyn but the same thing seems to be happening to him. As someone who feels completely disillusioned by modern politics and doesn't really have a dog in this fight, I can't help but sit back and smile at the irony.

And Ed Milliband before him. Sure, he was a weak personality, but he was absolutely savaged at every turn. I'll be the first to say I disagree with UKIPs policies on most things, but I also think they deserve proportional representation based on the votes they got. Representationally this is the worst election in UK history, with an error of around 49%. FPTP is broken, and I'll admit that even when it benefits a party I don't support.

Trump isn't even responsible enough to check his own shit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfxwPBmpsv4

Hiddenlotus13 8y ago
The issue is Bill Gates didn't even advocate for internet to be brought to Microsoft; even now he doesn't really know shit about the internet. Thinking that just because Bill Gates is an industry leader that he can or would close up the internet is the idiotic part of the statement. Microsoft isn't researching encryption and TOR. They're making money and shoring up their own applications at best. Trump's attempt to name drop the richest guy in technology makes him look incredibly stupid. Why wouldn't he just say the NSA or cryptography specialists? Actually read up on an issue before he addresses it? Because he's too busy not wanting to be politically correct, or really correct in general. That's the least that I'd expect from a presidential candidate.
[deleted] 8y ago
I think you're missing the point about trump. Most of the people in politics all have bunch of well rehearsed stuff to say to all the questions asked. They research everything, they know when they're lying and everything is calculated. But with trump, he doesn't do that. He just goes up the and and answers all the shit he's asked of the top of his head. I can tell you any adult, even many candidates I know would probably say something about bill Gates when the subject of Internet is brought up, because no one their age knows how that shit works. Trump is genuine, he just says what's on his mind, he doesn't repeat the shit that was designed to be as politically correct and fact checked as possible.
This brings me to another thing, no human being in the world can know everything, especially someone who is in the upper management of things. What happens is that advisors tell you what's going on, and you make the final call. What candidates need to prove is their ability to make the right decisions at the time needed, not know everything about everything. What trump is doing is talking about some things he haven't researched, therefore he says things like that, which is why people like him, he's like normal people, he thinks out loud, something most people except politicians do. Whether he can make the right decisions is a different question
Hiddenlotus13 8y ago
Exactly no offense to you but he's just appealing to citizens that are detached from the issues and taking advantage of the fact that they don't know what's going on. I guess we've got to disagree because him talking about things he hasn't researched is what I dislike about him. What campaign advisor would let him say that shit? If you haven't discussed it with somebody or researched it yourself, don't talk about it. I think it's irresponsible for him to do things that way because a lot of people actually take his word for it and start spreading this shit. But whatever, to each his own.
[deleted] 8y ago
Yes him spreading false or bad information can be a problem, but I'm saying many people like him for not being or politician-y.
Personally I do t agree with most of his policies that he talks about. For one I think most of his plans are impossible to execute anyways, and just his attempt to gain (racist) votes. But I'm still going to vote for him. Because we need that refresher. After seeing what having an overly pc president can do (race and gender relations are worst than they've ever been in modern times) I think trump will do nicely to get rid of this pc billshit once and for all. And I think he won't do any damage because seriously he's just gonna be the president and his own party is even against him, he has no power! He's not gonna do any damage. Only his influence is gonna cause some changes in social dynamics which are all gonna be positive imo
[deleted] 8y ago
He is the best of the crop, honestly. If you are a conservative, there is NO other candidate you can vote for and still have a chance. Trump is our only hope for destroying PC culture. He really is, even if you don't want to admit it.
Hiddenlotus13 8y ago
Yeah I'm going to have to disagree fundamentally with you. There's a way of doing these things. Every extreme can be an evil, and Trump seems to think his disregard for political correctness is just an excuse to be incorrect in general. He is instead showing why we need political correctness.
Sdom1 8y ago
There's a way of doing these things? What way, exactly? And if there is, doing things that way has gotten us what, exactly?

And I respect your right to dodge the question and not actually fully elucidate your ideas. What, can't handle a little direct confrontation? Does it hurt your feels? Rise to the occasion, be a man and actually climb in the ring.
Hiddenlotus13 8y ago
Nobody gives a damn about feels. I'm just conscious of when my time is being wasted. If you're that quick to jump to ad hominem (and a ridiculous attempt at that) you're showing that you don't even have the attention span to keep on track when starting a discussion. The way you tried to deprecate me for not jumping to the bait of your insult is a pisspoor effort at best, but I'll bite just this once. Here's what I said in the other part of the comment thread. If it doesn't satisfy you, then tough luck. This is all I have to say on the subject.
My point is Trump makes anti-PC movements look bad. It's my view that we need a balance between PC and what Trump suggests. Some aspects of political correctness are important for political communication. Not the part where you're trying to placate everyone, but the part where you think about what you say before you say it. Especially when an individual is prone to blanket generalization and exaggeration. A president needs to have grit but also empathy. Trump doesn't care enough about culture to represent the many ingrained in our country, so he just says let's not respect these people at all and I'll cater to the majority. You can't represent a nation without understanding its points of view. Trump is an extreme that I can't identify with, but I definitely don't appreciate feminism. There's obviously a middle ground and he isn't it.
Sdom1 8y ago
Oh, please. I made a joke and you obviously got your feelz hurt. You have to admit, it's a funny username. It sounds like a Kama Sutra position.
Anyway, the problem is that he hasn't said a lot of the things attributed to him. He is blunt and controversial, sure, and he's not a polished orator. But where you go wrong is thinking that breaking the PC cartel can be done by someone who isn't PC and yet doesn't offend anybody. On the contrary, it has to be someone like Trump who does it.
Also, you have to understand that most people don't give Trump his due. He's not as out of control as he seems. Consider that he has a reputation as one of the best negotiators on earth. He knows strategy and how to play the long game. Many of the things he says are calculated to be inflammatory because he knows how to manipulate the media.
In the end, he will require people to actually think about what is being said and look beyond the spin. And where he's brilliant is in off the cuff exchanges, especially where he calls out reporters and exposes their bullshit.
I predict that he will grow less and less inflammatory as time goes on, and people like you will come around, because that's the plan. Go and watch his interview on Jimmy Kimmel a couple of nights ago, and his debate performance. As he needs controversy less, you'll see more polish.
[deleted] 8y ago

Hey Milo, I just wanted to ask if you had any tips/ideas/directions for people who are opting out of the whole idea of a relationship (or dealing with females)?
From the relationships I've had, women are just a pain in the arse to deal with and have to handle. Personally, I feel like I shouldn't bother with them until I've built a good, stable life (in relation to work, income and living) and by my late 20's MAYBE start looking for an early 20's female and the only reason why I'd consider that is because casual sex doesn't seem all the appealing to me.
Anyway, any ideas/tips/things to consider or think about?

mr_nate_ 8y ago
First off, thanks for gracing us with your time today Milo! It's tremendously exciting to have someone of your caliber give our community a grain of positive attention and discuss the topics at hand on equal grounds.
What are your thoughts on the Red Pill versus Men's Rights Activists concerning the degrees of success each community finds?
While we here at the Red Pill certainly agree with many of the MRAs viewpoints and continually discuss gender inequality as one of the core foundations of the community, we largely disagree with their methods of implementing plans or fighting against contemporary feminism and blatant misandry. The movement was born from solid principles, yet we see a distinct lack of authority when it comes to current MRAs and believe that the implantation of Red Pill philosophy would greatly benefit these same MRAs — but they strongly reject it. Is the MRA community in need of drastic overhaul? Or do you find the Red Pill more disturbing in terms of our methodologies.
Bonus Question: With the rise of discussions concerning masculinity, where do you see society's perception of men and masculine sexuality swinging in the next decade(s)?
Right now, feminist conditioning in society has reached an all time high. You've addressed it in numerous talks: men are being persecuted and villainized for simply being men. Can Men's Rights and/or Red Pill discussions be effective in securing a renewed sense of pride and authority?
EDIT: I'm not sure if a question similar to these has already been posted — I had these questions saved for the originally scheduled AMA and planned on asking there on the clock — so my apologies if these are repeats.

Homotopy 8y ago
Hi there Milo,
thank you very much for what you do. You've helped me understand and put words on some of the insidious manipulation and thought policing that is so frighteningly commonplace public discourse and the media. For instance, by recognising and labeling certain rhetorical tricks as shaming tactics. This observation alone, so bloody obvious in hindsight, has already made my life tangibly better, and it will continue to allow me to express myself more freely, and defend my points of view without begrudgingly accepting to shut up for no good reason.
Another important point I've heard you make several times, which I find to be a very useful insight, is the libertarian/authoritarian divide being the more relevant distinction nowadays, as opposed to left/right.
In any case, you are a breath of fresh air ... and people need air to breathe!
So onto my question : what's your trick for staying calm and composed when confronted with dishonest arguments? Is it that you are an outsider looking in, as it were, for instance on the topic of feminism? How do you not erupt with rage at the unbelievable amount of hypocrisy that is the bread and butter of so many modern day feminists?

How do you think we can go about reforming the world? what solution do you think would work to change the tides of how fucked up everything is, specially with the sexist, misogynist crap the feminist spew out of their mouths destroying masculinity in the process, personally i think we're too far gone and the only time things will get better is from a new generation.
EscapedTheMatrix 8y ago
Hello Milo. Thanks so much for doing this AMA.
My question is pretty general and has a very large scope (and probably requires a pretty lengthy answer to really cover it), but I hope you'll give it your best shot.
Feminism seems to be only growing and growing in recent years, showing no signs of stopping. What concrete steps do you suggest must be taken to defeat feminism once and for all and return to a more traditional society with properly defined gender roles?
I would love to hear your idea on specific things that we can do to bring this about. I would much rather take steps and be an active part of ending feminism than simply wait for it to die.
Besides simply acting like men and living the non-feminist, traditional lifestyle, what specific things can we actively do to end this awful trend?
Also, a less general question:
What specific advice do you have for a 20 year old straight white male who is currently taking a break from college and working in the restaurant industry, and is about to move out of his mom's house and into an apartment with a couple roommates in less than a month? Just looking for life advice and whatnot here.
spirit_of_mattvity 8y ago
It seems gay men retain a male sexuality while switching the focus on men. The gay community, sexually, seems very much to me what the straight community would look like if women really did 'want sex as much as men.' This turns me towards lesbians. Lesbians might not be quite up to the level of gays in promiscuity (of course I could be way off mark here), but the ones I've known are, on average, far more promiscuous and open then their straight counterparts. I don't see their behavior as analogous to gay male behavior in the ways mentioned before, otherwise they'd likely be less promiscuous as both parties would be holding out for the best possible partner. Any thoughts or explanation? The only thing that comes to mind is that women are hard-wired to be rape focussed in my opinion, but there is no threat of forced rape by women to women.
reyneone 8y ago
Hi Milo! One feminist told me the little focus on male bodies in porno/erotica is because of patriarchy. What's you opinion about such disparity?
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
Men watch porn and men don't want to look at men. They only care about the woman on screen. Not rocket science. And not sexism, either.

Thank you for doing this AMA, it's incredible watching debates in which your opponents actually have to fight your ideas rather than your person.
With that being said, what advice do you have for male American college students who are essentially walking on eggshells through a system which no longer caters to them? Around every corner it seems the feminist agenda is being forced upon us and sadly it's safer to bear the load than speak out against it and risk being torn down.

Transmigratory 8y ago
Debating with feminists, BP people, manginas, SJWs – you get where I'm going with this – any point in entertaining a debate with them or humouring them? Or is it best to cut the topic and move on as they tend to have their minds made up?
Also what is your view on how feminists shame PUA, game, working out and general male self improvement? Do you feel while they want women empowered they want men to go the opposite way?
Linking to the above do you think they're conscious of the hypocrisy in their point (supporting women while demonising men with these endevours), or are they blissfully ignorant?
Do you think feminism is turning into a cult now whereby any opponent is an antifeminist of some sort who is guilty of "gaslighting", "triggerring" "privilege" etc?
You mentioned earlier to not really be super vocal about one's views about contemporary feminism till people like you give the green light (in that it becomes safer without it screwing up normal people's lives)... in your opinion when would you expect this green light to be given: 5, 10+ years?
EliQuince 8y ago
I saw your podcast with Joe Rogan and think you're a bit of a hypocrite- you talk about wanting to be Kim Kardashian two minutes after denigrating all transsexuals as 'mental'- you're gay in the 21st century which not so long ago was thought of as being 'mental'- without recognizing the fact that there have been transsexuals as long as there have been gay people. Your hypocrisy offends me, and I hope in the future you can see how much of a dickbag you came off as in that scenario.
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
Hatefuck when
EliQuince 8y ago
What?
[deleted] 8y ago
really he is correct as transsexuals (as well as homosexuals) are mentally ill, but you are right that sometimes people don't like to confront facts when it directly affects what they believe in/are
EliQuince 8y ago
I think any transsexual who has to put up with this ridiculous society will eventually be driven to insanity. That being said it's ENTIRELY hypocritical to denounce an entire minority as crazy when you yourself are a minority that was considered 'crazy' not so long ago. Milo comes off as a self hating homosexual and its just sad. It should also be known that it's not considered a mental illness anymore, because honestly it's not that weird- people are just uncomfortable about it because it challenges their societally engrained notions of what is expected from someone's gender- in other cultures it's tolerated and has been for hundreds of years
[deleted] 8y ago
a mental illness isn't just something that's "weird", it's something that harms the person who has it and both things harm the person mentally and physically.
you're really saying that a person that "believes" they are something else is mentally normal? If I believe I'm a dog i'm mentally normal? and should just get hair plugs all over my body and start crawling around?
EliQuince 8y ago
Yes, just like most conservative rhetoric you jump straight into the 'if I believe I'm a unicorn' argument. It's the same as saying if we allow gay marriage we might as well condone bestiality. It's a ludicrous argument and I'm not even going to entertain it. How does someone not conforming to gender norms harm them mentally and physically? Because they get the same reconstructive surgery that women get?
[deleted] 8y ago
lol wat...?
uh well if we "allow gay marriage" then it's a little hypocritical (that was your original gripe, hypocrisy), to not allow incestual marriage, polygamy, etc. right?
but it's not the same as that. i'm literally saying something is wrong with your brain if you are born a physical male but think you are a female. how is that even debatable? it's literally what being 'transgendered' is based around
EliQuince 8y ago
Except there's scientific evidence that points to a transsexuals brain lining up more with a females brain than a typical males. And it is a conservative rhetoric of established gender norms, especially compared to past cultures
And you're using the 'slippery slope' analogy in terms of marriage
[deleted] 8y ago
you're looking at specific things and not the entire picture. you're ignoring neuroplasticity, especially the effects post-hormones (which almost all of those "studies" draw data from).
also you're trying to use internet argument words like 'slippery slope', when the exact rhetoric for gay marriage was "marriage equality" and that if two people are in love, they should be able to get married.
so just like Milo, you can't look at what YOU are saying to see the blatant hypocrisy, which is maybe why you get so mad Milo couldn't either
EliQuince 8y ago
Do you even know what words you're using? I fail to see the correlation between the slippery slope argument and allowing two people in love to get married. PEOPLE- not dogs or cats or whatever your secret fetish is.
You've failed to explain how someone transitioning harms anyone, and as a last resort you've given in to backhanded insults(so it's only fair that I oblige you in return). If I was so hell bent on subscribing to my own narrative, I.e., eating my own shit- why would I have watched the podcast to begin with? Why would I be subscribed to a sub known for its backwards views on gender equality?
Furthermore, if Milo were actually confident that his self-prescribed 'role' as a men's rights activist were legitimate, why wouldn't he post an actual AMA? Why post in a space where he's only going to get responses that agree with him? Can you even call it a discussion at that point? Because even Milo knows he's full of shit and the only people who will entertain his inflammatory bullshit arguments are the testosterone driven monkeys on this sub.
[deleted] 8y ago
funny, because a few posts back you had a problem with this exact logic
uh, how about the person "transitioning"? Isn't that one of the major ideas behind a mental illness? that it hurts or affects the patients quality of life? Following your logic, the person wanting to be a dog would be fine too because as you said, it "doesnt hurt anyone".
ahhh so i see now, a sjw troll just spouting the typical nonsense about "gender roles" and "patriarchy"? or a disgruntled MRA virgin neckbeard?
funny, because he does debates on tv with people who obviously don't agree with him and fall back to your argument of "feels = real"

I'm a pretty far left individual when it comes to political philosophy. However, since my divorce rape I really started following these conversations. I consider myself to be progressive mostly because of my beliefs in funding public education, infrastructure etc. I find conservatives don't want to admit greed is real, and problematic. While the left won't admit laziness is a factor when considering welfare and social programs. My question is, how much do you think political affiliation has to do with this? I watch a lot of your debates and videos on YouTube and honestly felt like you use progressivism as a dirty word. I agree with all of your points on modern feminism and find it awesome you do this as a gay individual. I love watching you debate feminists and them not being able to vilify you as a straight white male. It really takes the wind out of their sails. Anyways, do you think political affiliation really takes the cake, so to speak, when talking about this stuff? As I stated, I'm progressive and in complete agreeable with almost all you have said.

Do gay men have a more straitforward interest in sex then strait women?
Women's sex drives are certainly far more context orientated then men's are.
https://youtu.be/Ip7kP_dd6LU?t=11m47s
According to pornhub only 20% of the visitators are women. Meanwhile 84% of the people who read erotic fiction are women.
For gay guys this seems flipped. For instance there was an alternative to playboy called playgirl for women but it got shut down because most of their readers were gay. Women had no interest in the magazine and would much rather read romance novels.
I think the fact that gay men have testosterone means that their sex drives resembles strait men's more.
For instance here's an NPR interview with a women who's took testosterone describing how her libido went through the roof
http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/220/Testosterone?act=2#play
What are your thoughts?
I honestly kinda think that strait women are gay and that gay and bi men are only people who are actually attracted to men. I mean women constantly compliment each other saying stuff like "you look sexy". I mean I could understand if women called each other "pretty" or "beautiful". But sexy? Why do they constantly use an adjective that explicitly describes an act that facilitates reproduction?Vic versa you can call a guy handsome , but if you call him sexy he'll definitely think your gay.
Also women are very touchey and loveydovey with each other. For instance check out this image which makes fun of how women pose with their friends.
Meanwhile just holding hands with a guy is seen as gay

Hi Milo,
You recently tweeted about how upset you were at the price you paid for a train ticket and expressed your desire to nationalise the railroads once again. Was this a serious statement? Do you believe the nationalisation of private sector services would be beneficial to the country and if so why? I've been a big fan for a long time but this really troubled me. With the rise of Jezza C and his outdated and ludicrously dangerous ideas is it not more important now than ever to stand firmly against these authoritarian socialist ideas?
You also mentioned recently that you don't do "poor people drugs" yet then said you like to bosh a bit of Kevin. Now, everyone likes to have a wonky night with Kev now and then but you must understand, it is drug for the plebs.
It's these kind of statements which make me worry that you are in fact a poor, straight, atheist commy. Please put my mind to rest Milo.

You've recently come to the defense of gamers/GamerGate through your writing, your twitter, at SPJ, and even met many of them at various meetups. What is your honest, overall sense of the gamers that you have engaged with? Is there a stark difference between the gamers you interact with on twitter vs the ones you have met with in real life? If your answer is net-favorable, why do you think this group has become so maligned by the rest of society, and what if anything do they need to do differently to gain more respect from the broader public?
Sorry for another GG question which I'm sure you're sick of by this point. Thanks for all that you do, you beautiful faggot.

Gamers have no social capital. The Left hates them and lies and says games make us all sexist. The Right hates them and lies and says they make us violent. So it's an easy group to malign.

Hi Milo,
I messaged you on Twitter a week or two ago talking about my philosophy professor down here in Atlanta, Georgia and how he enforces his left wing ideals on the class (Reverse racism doesn't exist, heterosexuality is oppressive, cultural appropriation, gender wage gap and has openly said that he has prejudice towards straight males, just to name a few).
My question is how do we shift the tide, or at least stop colleges from being solely extremely liberal and give other ideals a fair chance, perhaps becoming more centrist or conservative in the process? I'm sure you've seen the whole talk about safe spaces, students wanting to repeal the 1st amendment, and even you being banned from speaking at universities in the UK. How do we change the "my feelings matter more" mentality that's so present in the student bodies in universities across the nation and across the world?
Huge fan Milo, love your work on Sky News and everywhere else. Keep on rocking it!
CreepCupid 8y ago
Hi, Milo.
I'm from Santiago, Chile. I think some big changes are happening around here, waves from first world liberal influence reach even this corner, through campuses and our local mainstream media (whose biggest challenge is translating to Spanish lame Buzzfeed or Upworthy articles).
Despite of this, I've noticed that manosphere in the first world has the perception that Latin American societies are way more "traditional" or "redpill" than Europe or the US, and even encourage American men to migrate here or looking for Latin women. From what I've seen, radical feminism here has gone wild already. Perhaps it's a thing of big, modern cities. Or perhaps we're on an early stage and I can't dimension how crazy is the situation in the US or Europe.
So my question is, how much do you know about social changes in Latin America? From the experience in the first world, is there a way to stop or at least decimate the wave here?
Thanks.

Milo, the idea of a "Patriarchy" is oft repeated and shouted by third-wave feminists as the reason for innumerable injustices against women of all races, classes, and walks of life. But they never look at the reverse.
Do you think that feminism has created a "Matriarchy" which purposefully discriminates against men? and could you expand on that idea?
P.S. I love you to death you fantastic faggot.
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
Society has always been a matriarchy. Female sexual power is the key to understanding all of history. What's mystifying about feminists is that they want women to step down to equality, when men were perfectly happy providing for women, worshipping women and competing with each other for women's attention.
TheThingsIThink 8y ago
The stepping down to equality is a great point that I hadn't considered. I had always felt that women want the success and status of men without having to work the same hours and play the same politics (helping your boss move, or playing squash etc.)
The women I work with (and my ex wife) work to so they don't have to depend on a man. Men are working because they have families depending on them. That's why men work harder and earn more.
Women don't trust men enough not to work. I think feminism has instilled this lack of trust. They have to know the best thing for their kids is to stay home and be a mother. But instead of doing that and making the home a soft place to land after the man is out there slaying dragons they work bullshit jobs. Women would rather earn 100k as a household with both parents working than keep the man fresh and in the game to earn 150k himself.

Ann Coulter says women shouldn't vote, because although they don't put much into the system they are the beneficiaries of all the services. So they take a "magic checks from the sky" approach to voting and always go Left. They also go Left because the Left is all about feelings and niceness and the easy, cheap solutions rather than the hard but more effective proposals. I like this argument, even though it's probably not a realistic proposal in today's world.
Western women crave real men, even though they have been telling men to soften up for decades. Now they've turned most men in the west into snivelling wretches, it's not hard to see why a swarthy, buff, hypermasculine aggressor would be seductive. These women don't care about the Koran--they're converting because they're intoxicated by their hot new brown boyfriend. Just look at Jihad Jane, Jihad Jenny or the "white widow" Samantha Lewthwaite who churns through jihadi boyfriends.
The only thing the Muslim world gets right is Saudi not letting women drive. Their road traffic accident stats must be the envy of the world! Just goes to show, you can arrive at the right conclusion for the wrong reasons.

Road traffic fatality in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) accounts for 4.7% of all mortalities, while road traffic fatalities do not exceed 1.7% in Australia, United Kingdom (UK), or United States of America (USA).5 Similarly, road fatalities in KSA have increased over the last decade from 17.4-24 per 100,000 population compared with 10 in USA, and 5 in UK, where road safety has been taken seriously, and all primary and secondary preventive measures are implemented appropriately.6 Saudi Arabia was found to have higher number of deaths from RTAs among high income states (accident to death ratio is 32:1 versus 283:1 in USA), and is considered to be the country’s main cause of death for 16-30-year-old males.7 Road injuries are reported to be the most serious in this country with an accident to injury ratio of 8:6, compared with the international ratio of 8:1.8 The rate of RTA caused by 4-wheeled vehicles is the highest of all worldwide accidents.9

Milo, as you may know, political orientation is, to an extent, biological in nature. Because of this, since feminist women are less likely to breed than other women, do you think this will ultimately cause there to be a type of natural selection against feminist-minded women, ultimately leading to the downfall of modern feminism? Also, how do you think natural selection on the human mind will affect politics in the future?

I'm someone who went to one of the most liberal universities in America, your work has been instrumental in making me realize that I'm actually a conservative, nevermind articulating just why all the SJW crap I was exposed to made my blood boil.

As for a question. I'm an American expat in Greece. I noticed that there are zero conservative youth groups here. Every young person espouses at least superficially leftist norms or at least talking points. It's a funny society in which the youth carries the specter of religiosity, combined with some of the most flippant attitudes toward anything resembling traditional relationships.

Hi Milo,
Thanks very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to do this. I am in admiration over your ability to stand up for what you believe in, no matter how unpopular it is.
I've dabbled in journalism in university, and have written a couple of very controversial articles that have sometimes earned the ire of my friends and the editorial staff. Of course, Third Wave Feminism is a completely different beast when it comes to controversy. A lot like Islam, some people argue that some tenets of the ideology are not open for debate.
What would your advice be for someone who wants to inject fresh thinking and add to the debate while still being successful in this PC-dominant world? (i.e.: How can I speak to the mainstream about my not-so-mainstream opinions without being relegated to the fringe?)
Once again, thanks for doing this!
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
Get a real job and do it as a hobby. Don't make journalism your life. Focus on being smart, successful and looking after your mind and body. Be happy. Then you can share your opinions from a place of security--and with a job they can't take away from you.

Hello you gorgeous British queer,
I'm an atheist and I found your conversation with Joe Rogan about religion very interesting. I know you are religious so in regards to the validity of Christianity, I completely disagree with you, but it seemed like you were making more of a Christian culture argument which for the most part I agree with you. The West and Western values have been influenced a lot by Christianity and I find it odd that most atheists are afraid to admit this. I feel like most of the atheists nowadays are overreacting to religion because now is the first time where it is pretty much acceptable to be an atheist, so they are throwing the baby out with the bath water in most instances. This is a shot at Catholics, but I think that the protestant reformation was a huge force in shaping American values. The main idea being that all men are equal in front of God; priests and kings are no more divine than the average person. Therefore everyone has the same natural rights and no person is born superior to others, legally speaking. This is just one example, but as you said many of the stories in the bible have given the West certain values that we regard as being most important. Too many atheists these days want to completely deny all of this and I find this to be wrong. As I said, I am an atheist, but I do identify as being culturally Christian, and do on occasion read the bible for its literature. I know many Jews who don't believe in Judaism but identify as being culturally Jewish, but don't see the same for ex-christians. So I guess my question is if you see atheists in the future starting to identify as culturally Christian and embracing the fact that Christianity has had a huge impact on the West and there is something to gain from it? Or do you think it will be more of the same where atheists want nothing at all to do with religion and deny that it has anything beneficial to offer?
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
If atheists were a bit more intellectually humble and a bit more honest they could learn to appreciate how much of a positive influence Christianity has had on the world. Right now a lot of them are in denial about it, which I find odd for a community that describes itself as fact- and logic-oriented.
I think a lot of it has to do with the overlap between autism and atheism (I'll leave you to work out which causes which) and the fact that a lot of atheists would really rather quite like to believe--though, of course, they'd never admit it.
Whisper 8y ago
Christianity, like any other religion, is simply a means of enforcing society's values. It does not provide any. When the social mores change, the religion changes to adapt. We have seen how Christianity has gone from a tool of enforcement for right-wing values to a tool of enforcement for left-wing values and the politics of identity (and anyone who hasn't can read Dalrock for an explanation).
Religion, as a tool for social stability, ultimately failed, because people stopped being religious. If you tie your social values to a fairy tale, they get thrown out with the bathwater when people reject the fairy tale.
So we have two ways in which Christianity has failed. It has failed to stabilize values, and it has failed to preserve itself from its own increasing irrelevance. Regardless of any admiration we may have for any set of values it used to bolster, this is far too old and sickly a horse to hitch our cart to.

Do you think economic and technologival factors like women in the workforce and no fault divorces and birth control mostly cause modern sexual dynamics, or are simply enablers of what could exist on its own with cultural forces like third wave feminism? Is it possible for sexual norms and marriage to change, absent changes in birth control availability and female workforce participation in your opinion?

radeonr9270 8y ago
The behavior of women and stereotypical gay men to heavily modify their appearance just engage with everday life strikes me as a man to be heavily narcisstic. It seems to me that they think they are too good for their own skin.I mean artistocratic men who wore makeup and obessed about their looks are seen by society today as being vain and selfish. Theword narcissistic literally comes from a male greek methodology character named narcissus who constantly stares at his own reflection. How is that any different from the behaviors of people like yourself and the majority of women?
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
As a sufferer of the disease, I don't think I'm best placed to talk about narcissism.
radeonr9270 8y ago
I mean I love you. I find myself cheering you on in debates and it's just so enjoyable having you own your opponents while wearing that ridiculous hair.
I guess I would just be happy if you could explain why straight men are seen as snobbish or narcisstic for simply putting the same amount of care into their looks as the average women/stereotypical gay guy. For instance zoolander from the zoolander 2 trailer is seen as stupid and having a tiny brain for simply being a male model. Another example is barney from the show how I met your mother is contantly seen as narcissistic for simply caring about his appearance.

Hi Milo.

She refused to shake my hand after crashing the debate afterparty and when everyone laughed at her she eventually asked for a selfie and I thought I'd be the bigger man and say sure.

If you think rationally about it, there is definitely a chance of God not existing. Thanks!

How do you reconcile being homosexual with your obvious support for not saturating our culture with pro-homosexual propaganda? I'm heterosexual and deplore those who push such propaganda, but am completely happy to tolerate sane homosexuals who simply want to have private relationships.
In short, my position is live and let live, but don't push it as though being homosexual is something to look up to - it should be seen as an inevitable situation that is a challenge and is not compatible with raising children or a model family.
Is that your take as well? Please explain.
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
I find it deeply weird that the Left presents homosexuality as almost sort of morally virtuous, as though it were something to aim for. Bizarre.
Much of gay life--not all of it, but a lot of it--is vacuous, superficial and self-destructive. Granted, those are the conditions under which great art and inventions and other sorts of breakthroughs are often made by the intellectual and creative elite. But it's hardly a model for a healthy society.

Hi Milo, I saw you on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast and you came across as well informed journalist with a solid finger on the pulse of modern feminism and men issues.
My question revolves around the 'war on boys' you touched on. I am in my mid 20s and grew up in Rural Alberta canada (think Texas but colder) and I don't recall seeing any kind of the suprression discussed.

crabpipe 8y ago
Which is the origin of the 'rape culture' term
TailorMade808 8y ago
Or in schools, where female teachers are free to prey on boys with little to no punishment.
I mean, I'm basing this off news reports and I generally trust the news as far as I can throw it. But it seems like every other week at least I'm seeing a female teacher let off for one reason or another after abusing their power to have sex with minors
gg_s 8y ago
They were minors, not boys. The age of consent in most states is 16 with exceptions for caregivers, custodians, and authority figures. If they weren't teacher and student, the sex would've been legal in most cases.
Crimes were committed, make no mistake. But to suggest that those strapping young men were preyed upon or traumatized in any way is absolute nonsense.
TailorMade808 8y ago
I did say minors. But I also said boys, because honestly they are. Our kids are so sheltered at this point that they aren't thrust into adulthood until they are 18 and even then it takes a few years for them to adapt.
And not all of them are 16 or over. I've seen plenty who were 12-14, and of course that one who was 11 and was raped by the babysitter with the dads permission.
Boys are subject to a rape culture, just as men in prison are.
Women, especially on college campus', not so much.

Hi Milo! First, I'd like to say that I'm a big fan. Even when I don't agree with what you say, I love the way you say it. Not many people have that kind of flair. I have a question about some things you said on the Joe Rogan Experience. First, you said that homosexuality is a choice, but you later said that you wish you weren't gay (or something along those lines). I'm a little confused about how those positions can be held by the same person. Could you elaborate on what you meant? I'd like to understand your position on the matter a little better, because those 2 things seemed contradictory. You didn't go into much detail on the show, so I'm sure your opinion is more nuanced than it seemed.
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
Sure: it's an element of nature and an element of nurture. I am definitely aware of making some sort of choice in my teens. But I think now it's probably a little late to try to go back. It's different for everyone, of course. But no one is purely "born this way"--that's garbage, with no basis in science.

Milo, big fan. this is a bit long, but needs to be in order to get my point across.
in a few instances on this AMA, you stated that you think we're about to see a swing in the media back to a more balanced conversation regarding gender equality. for example, in your response to -Anteros-
While I agree with you that most women don't hate men, it seems to be the case that most of the rhetoric in U.S. politics and media takes a more subtle (sneaky?) approach, advocating for the support of women rather than the demonization of men, though the former implicitly accomplishes the later in many cases. for example, HRC recently tweeted "Every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be heard, believed, and supported." I have no direct evidence to back this up, but I would think most women, even women that don't hate men, would support this statement, largely because it evokes the feeling of supporting a victim (the premise of the statement is set up to accomplish exactly this), and we all know women in general mostly judge based on feels.
furthermore, in our post-modernist society, there is never any shortage of thirsty beta men willing to throw other men under the bus in hopes to get closer to other women and entrench themselves as a "nice guy." Lastly, I would also mention, that the rhetoric regarding racism in america has only increased since Obama took office. Given these dynamics, do you see the rhetoric regarding sexism increasing on media, especially if HRC wins 2016? if not why?
stunningandbrave 8y ago
Hey Milo. Big fan here and I can't believe you exist. I had tears in my eyes watching you debate people on men's situation in today's society. I couldn't believe someone actually stood up for us and could do it so eloquently and effectively. Sure you aren't a unicorn? So thank you thank you thank you.
My question is: do you have any advice for MGTOWs?
arrayay 8y ago
I assume your article on the Princess Bride is in jest. It is a very Red Pill movie, and if you haven't I suggest reading the book. In the foreword the author (don't know if it is fiction or autobiographical) goes on about divorce rape from his attorney ex-wife.
Also...
"That was a warning highness. The next time my hands flies unrestrained. Where I come from there are penalties when a woman lies."
Take that hypergamy.
"Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something."
Hampster poison.

Milo,
After hearing you on Joe Rogan's podcast, I got the impression that your homosexuality is based more on your attraction to the forbidden than it is based on your attraction to men. Curious if you think that's the case.
Beyond that, you seem very articulate and calm when you are speaking/debating- is that an inherent skill or something you learned?
Thanks for what you do, brother.

I just don't get mad. I wasn't born with the "offence-taking" gene and I don't get scared or nervous. I'm afraid that's just something you have or you don't.

I heard once you saying you "don't believe in lesbianism"? Is that true? If so, can you elaborate?
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
I don't think lesbians are a real thing. At least, there's only a tiny number of women who are actual lesbians. The rest are just lonely, or unhappy, or bitter, or reeling from a bad relationship. They always go back to men in the end. Sex with no penis involved isn't sex--it's a cry for help.
CreepCupid 8y ago
I think true lesbians do exist, but yes, they're much, much fewer than they claim to be. However, apart from man-hating bitterness, I think it's pretty much about hypergamy. Erase all masculinity, make men look weak and women look stronger, and women will go for faux "alpha" women. I guess that's the lesbian-feminist utopia. Making lesbians the new alpha and converting all men into betas, so hypergamy makes women instinctively attracted to the lesbians.

PlebDestroyer 8y ago
Hi Milo,
In your debate w/Rebecca Reid I saw that you struggled to provide evidence to prove that men and women are different when talking about both gender pay gaps in respect to the decisions women make, and weather or not gender is a social construct.
I would like to point to some evidence in the sidebar of this subredddit that could have been helpful in that debate. In the sidebar you will find under "Theory Reading" a link to a post that says "gender studies is nonsense." If forgot which one of these amazing documentaries it is (it's probably the first), but in it there is an experimented conducted with infants where they are put into a room and allowed to choose any toy they would like to play with. The results were as you would expect. Boys picked trucks, girls picked dolls.
Also, in my opinion the most compelling revelation throughout the series is that in the most equal and gender neutral society on Earth (sweden or one of those places), where people can choose whatever profession they please, the majority of women go for social jobs like nursing, and the majority of men go for physical/technical/problem solving jobs. And in what may be considered one of the most oppressive and toughest places to make a living (I think it was india or something), more women took on technical jobs because they pretty much had to in order to make a living. This draws the conclusion that women are biologically predisposed to more social tasks and men more problem solving/technical.
Do you think that this is a valid piece of evidence that you could point to in your future debates?
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
I'll have a look, thanks!

Small question here. Why do you think female comedians are so god-awfully bad at comedy? I think sometimes it's because they try too hard. A lot of the time it's because feminism gets involved in their routine. What's your opinion on this?

I plan on continuing to take the piss out of everything. Sometimes I write about really important stuff. Sometimes I shitpost about trivia. Most readers enjoy all of it, but for different reasons. Some are only going to want the serious stuff. That's okay!
For the record, I don't play a ridiculous person in public for attention. I'm the same with the cameras off. It's just who I am. I've never been able to stay serious for more than a few hours at a time and even my music and movie choices are a mixture of seriousness and attention-seeking.

No real need to ask as you've been clear you like them cut for purely personal reasons. And you know what, you're free to have your preference.
That being said, from a purely men's rights perspective I think everyone can agree boys should be entitled to the same rights as girls in this subject. If guys want to get cut once they're older, then the should be allowed to. However, babies who don't have any say in the matter, regardless of gender, shouldn't be messed with.
Bonesteel50 8y ago
I've tried to convince my good friend on the Circumcision debate. He was pro because he did'nt realize how many babies die even in the first world due to it. They never say it was directly from circumcision, but "blood loss" or something else so the stats are shit.

spirit_of_mattvity 8y ago
I think it's mostly irrelevant, but is probably something that shouldn't happen.
Women that have it happen to them can't achieve orgasm, feel far less. Men can achieve orgasm, and from the few things I've read of those who have been circumcised for medical reasons have no large difference in feeling. Women are circumcised because men (and surely some women) don't want them to be sexual creatures. Men are circumcised because of tradition.
Still, I just don't see the point. All the benefits are minor. You may like the look, but that's really not your decision. Mostly, though, I don't care.
Interversity 8y ago
This is not universally true
Partly that and partly also tradition, as it is with men.
The original movement that got circumcision to be as common as it is now in the US was Kellogg's drive to institute it as a preventive measure against masturbation. Now people don't even think about it, it's just normal somehow to mutilate your kid's dick.

Hi Milo! Appreciate you spending time here. My question:
What is your general view on today's women? Since you're kind of an 'outsider' on this yet very well informed on the major issues surrounding them. To put it very bluntly: do you mostly see narcissistic insufferable brats who lost all their use except for their uteri? Or do you see a group of people with many redeeming qualities who have been victimised by feminism just as much as we (men) have? Or whatever is in between that? I'm curious, thanks in advance!
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
The latter, mostly. Women have been fed a pack of lies just as men have. Most can be easily snapped out of it.
LessASnowmanThanAGod 8y ago

Yami_Baddy 8y ago
Hey Milo!
First time I heard about you was on The Rubin Report. I really enjoyed those segments and agreed with most of your points.
Now I do have a couple of questions:
Do you watch/follow Sargon of Akaad, Thunderfoot or Teal Dear? They are Youtubers, who dedicate a large portion of their actual content on debunking feminists and cover up their hypocrizy, hate and stupidity. Not only can I recommend them for their entertainment value, but they are also down to earth and on point.
Would you say the feminist and pc movement is on a decline soon or maybe going on already? It seems to me it depends on where you live. Here in Germany, actually, you don't see much of those movements. In the US, it seems like people are getting really tired of it and jump off the band waggon. While in the UK, I have the feeling it gets worse by every day passing by.
Solitary_Wolf 8y ago
Hi Milo, how long have you known about TRP and do you apply any of the same theory in your own relationships?

Sexual dynamics are different for gays. In fact, to be specific, they often mirror the 1950s household of Red Pill legend, with a dominant breadwinner and a passive homemaker who has a lot of time to stay looking good. Yet another thing we're better at... sorry guys!

UndecidedThrownaway 8y ago

Thorbinator 8y ago
That's because exposing someone on the defense to evidence makes them dig in further. Your facts are wrong because feelings are hurt.
Basically you need to trick them or lead by example. If you're a skilled rhetorician you can make them state your point via analogy without tripping their emotional landmines.
ACraftyApe 8y ago
Exactly the same problem I'm facing.
itsmehobnob 8y ago
I got into it recently with a feminist columnist at the local paper. Any time I asked for evidence, she made excuses. Everytime she demanded my evidence, she refused to look at anything I produced. In the end she insulted me by calling me an MRA (as if the idea of men having rights is insulting) and stormed off. The window of discourse has shifted so far it's tough to even see through it.
Rethgil 8y ago
That's what happens all the time. Feminists demand sources for even the most commonly widely known concepts (gravity, etc), then change the subject immediately before addressing them. Meanwhile, they are never able to provide prooof their own, or provide the weakest evidence if they do. And they always end up resorting to insults when they lose the argument or get clearly shown up. While this transparently reveals them for what they are, the worst part is that feminist audiences behave like Romans at the Coliseum and shriek with delight at everything they say and seem unable to acknowledge anyone else winning a point or undermining theirs. In short, even with a winning argument and a mature level of patience it sometimes seems impossible because they seem incapable of admitting their own errors.
Helium_Pugilist 8y ago
Another thing is, keep making your point, even in (maybe especially in) the face of baseless accusations, and if they keep accusing you go to "so you have no counterpoint to my argument". They win if you abandon your point just to start defending yourself against baseless accusations.
bigpoppa_69 8y ago
As an American, I'm constantly conflicted by two extreme life decisions: 1. staying in a country aside my family and friends (that I believe is steadily on the decline culturally, morally, and economically) in order to "fight the good fight" and be an honorable citizen in hopes of assisting in the restoration of a moral backbone to my country and 2. packing my things and moving to a beautiful European country and living a luxurious and meaningful life elsewhere. Any advice on how to handle these contradictory desires?
I'm also an aspiring journalist. I'm currently on staff at my school's newspaper and I feel ostracized as one of the only conservative voices in the student media program, how do I express my ideas/concerns without alienating myself?

In case you haven't seen it, she did a talk recently explaining why from her perspective she really believes she did get a torrent of abuse. It's possibly even more cringe worthy than her performance on sky. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Mbv4FfFlIk

OmLaLa 8y ago
First of all, thank you Milo for taking the time to participate in this AMA. Reading your answers to a multitude of questions has been both enlightening and unsurprising, given your glowing track record.
Question: In your experience, why is the young men's societal views on a easily-perceivable RP principle like the prerequisite of attractiveness for sexual interest so... contradictory and conflicting?
Allow me to explain:
The concept of attractive people pair-bonding with other attractive people is nothing new. Even in most media facets, an attractive guy will usually be shown running off with some attractive woman. It's common in both in movies and TV shows.
And yet, at least in the cases of most young men, the notion that attraction can somehow be *compensated or substituted by words and wit has recently become the dominant go-to for any male/female interaction.
Now I realize pop culture is becoming self-aware to this fault. In the past few years, we've seen a drastic increase in said self-awareness of attraction compensatory behaviors when the term "friend-zoned" spiked in secular popularity.
But why then does that same society have such difficulties with coming to terms the failure of substituting attractiveness with words or accepting the ever-present proof that there is a prerequisite for physical attractiveness on the terms of sexually appealing to one's peers? With accepting that one can't simply "talk" sexual attraction into someone? (And this goes beyond PUA; there are tons of non-PUA/RP men who believe that wit, humor and intellect will garner sexual interest)
Is it out of some collective self-fulfilling prophecy? A collective misunderstanding of the root cause of past successes (she slept with him because of his appearance, not because he was "funny")?
The proof is all over the place and yet i you'll oft find them resort to bashing their attractive peers (dumb jock, his just an asshole, etc.) instead of taking the time/humility to look introspectively instead of playing the victim of circumstance or peer-intervention.
If the root cause was simply a matter of ignoring the evidence as a means to protect one's ego, I could accept this rationale, but only on a case-by-case (individualistic/personally-onset) level, but this viewpoint seems to span the majority of young men across various borders and cultures.
Thoughts?

It's inflammatory and controversial because it's so self evident.

If what we were saying wasn't true, it'd strike no nerve and be easily dismissed. There'd be no sensitivity.
NightwingTRP 8y ago
It's got to be controversial. If women's word can no longer be trusted, then it means we don't need to put any value on what they say - the logical conclusion is that women simply shouldn't have a voice in anything because that voice is both unreliable and irrational.
They don't want their voice taken away, so they'll fight this tooth and nail. They'll run every hamster rationalisation available to pretend their words always have worth. (Realistically, it's just down to us to decide whether their words have worth on a case by case basis.)

yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
I'm going to write about this at greater length, but I thought it was a pity it slid into the usual whinging about "harassment" and how "weird" the manosphere was, when it ought to have focused on the facts, studies, laws that men's rights advocates are complaining about. A programme ostensibly about the men's rights movement once again became all about feminist grievances.
It felt like a series of character assassinations rather than an attempt to understand why so many men are frustrated and checking out, acting out or otherwise expressing their disillusionment with society.
Raymond_Cuttill 8y ago
The BBC is pro-feminist. There was never any intention to give MRAs a fair hearing or any kind of hearing. There's a part where you said something like gender relations are the worse they've been for a hundred years. You were then faded out and then there was a voiceover of Reggie saying "I'm not a feminist but even I find his views challenging". In other words ignore you. Now I'm guessing but I would bet that you then had a conversation about that point but he probably knew that the conversation would end up on the edit room floor.
I have a question. I'm planning on getting more active in MRA matters. I'm thinking of starting with a short article about UN women and their stats about sex trafficking; which are selective. Could you please suggest a good place or way to submit it? e..g. as an article somewhere or a piece to camera on YouTube or what?
Thanks.
rp_valiant 8y ago
it's funny how Reggie focussed on Roosh's anti-gay beliefs, picked two specific sentences out of his 6+ books to make him sound like a legit rapist, and the only feminist he interviewed in the whole show was given the most obvious easy-win talking points to work with (feminism is about equality, these men don't want equality). It's a real shame because I thought he was better than that. Also, focussing on threats and racism that we all know flies in every direction on the internet.

He realistically had no choice but to present his doco in the way it was presented, his career would have been over if he had supported Roosh for example.
redpillshadow 8y ago
He has tweeted about it.
GamerGateFan 8y ago
He is in the 2nd episode, bbc link. For those who haven't seen it and don't live in the UK, I mirrored it here: Reggie Yates' Extreme UK - #2 Men at War
As far as the episode goes, it is 90% framing it to make Reggie look curious about crazy horrific people, 10% genuineness.
There is no doubt why he continues to state that he has no clue why people are fighting for mens rights, or care about issues in the so called manosphere. He erased almost all the clues.
In the part that features Milo , Reggie is discussing the previous segment's convicted male troll with Milo. That troll sent what appeared to be serious and legitimate threats involving rape. He was jailed, and the other convicted troll was a women but they don't mention that. It seems from the editing, Milo thinks he is just talking about trash talk in general that happened to include the word rape and uses his normal defense of trash talk, but to the audience it makes him look like he is advocating for horrific activities.
I'd imagine if Reggie read out those tweets that got the trolls arrested the conversation might of been more balanced. Though only Milo could say for sure.
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
That's correct. They cut from rape threats to me laughing off trash talk, implying that I was laughing off rape threats. That's the only major grievance I have.
rp_valiant 8y ago
No-one was surprised by the fact that they edited you so aggressively (I think you ended up getting about 3 mins screen time) because you're usually very good at not falling into the leftist word traps. Turns out in this case they can just edit 2 completely different segments together if they can't catch you saying something doubleplusungood.

From the feminists I have encountered in my own life, a lot of them seem to have the mindset of "Feminism means that women should have equal rights, therefore I am a feminist." while they also tend to buy into feminist bullshit, such as the wage gap, in varying degrees. What do you think is the best way to educate the more moderate feminists, and get them to see just how damaging their movement is to society?
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
Facts. Politely expressed, insistent facts. Ask them questions. Test their logic. Let them reach the conclusion on their own, on a path you set out with probing enquiry and the data you can bring to the conversation. More often than not, moderate, well-intentioned people who have swallowed this nonsense have a lightbulb moment--and go on to become your strongest allies.
ImmortalRationalist 8y ago
Milo, do you think that a Bernie Sanders presidency would make society more gynocentric and be harmful in regards to men's issues? Here is the page on his website on the policies he wants to enact in regards to women, some of which are, well, questionable. Also, do you think Bernie Sanders or Hilary Clinton would be less harmful to men and men's issues, if elected president?
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
All the Democrat frontrunners have deeply regressive, anti-male policy positions. Either would be a car crash. We need to fix Title IX abuses, not double down on them.

If you are comfortable with the alt-right you have your movement (Trump, UKIP, all the different parties gaining 30% all over Europe). If you have a fantasy about a left-wing push back (MRA is left-wing as in they want big government to hand them equality). That is never going to happen.
kfpswf 8y ago
Thanks a lot for bringing this up. I really had to say this to someone.
I'm a non-white Asian male. I joined Reddit because I stumbled onto it's exmuslim community. Being an exmuslim myself, it was a huge relief for me to find someone of my own kind. As I started participating more and more, I actually started hating the Left/Liberals for their hypocrisy when it comes to dealing with Muslims.
But the first real jolt I had on Reddit was TRP. And again, I saw nothing but hypocrisy by the Left when it comes to men's issues. A teenager is being executed in Saudi for participating in a demonstration. The Left will not say anything about the atrocities being perpetrated by these assholes, but will demonize any white person who dares question rape. Needless to say, I have no interest on supporting the Left's cause now. But being a brown skinned guy, I'm not sure I feel too good supporting someone like Trump.

Milo, do you think the culture in silicon valley is a big threat to tainting the web? The bay area is full of leftist activists with a lot of time on their hands and seem strangely effective at enforcing consensus, as in the case of getting Mozilla's founder fired because he was pro-trad marriage.
And how do you factor in the temptation of cheap H1B labor to the various tech giants? What's going on here? Why are the tech giants seem always on board with the latest progressive trends?

Temuzjin 8y ago
Your point indeed illustrates nicely that society hates holding women accountable.
On the other hand, the article states:
If that's true, and I haven't checked those sources, then letting pill-using women pay for the entire cost of filtering estrogen out of drinking water would be unfair. You could still make them pay $15, which they would still throw a tantrum over, but not $1500.
Rethgil 8y ago
Er, this is proven scientific fact. That's it. Regardless of feminist reactions to the issue.
Temuzjin 8y ago
The article I linked notes that:
The linked article refers to WebMD, which refers to this article for the 1% figure. So I agree that today there's more estrogen in our drinking water than 100 years ago, and I also agree that the pill contributed to this, but I'm not sure how much it contributed. The article looks reasonably solid, so perhaps the 1% figure is correct, but then again feminism so the authors (all of which are female) might have cheated somewhere.
Relevant sources or rebuttals are welcome.

What about giving them the sponge?
girlwriteswhat 8y ago
Hey, Milo, good to see you here!
I was wondering what you might think of a speculation I have, given personal experience and some evolutionary biology I've studied.
Human smell is largely subconscious but highly acute nonetheless. A woman who has just given birth a few hours ago can more accurately identify which baby is her own among others by smelling a piece of clothing they've worn than by looking at them, for instance.
Likewise, genetic compatibility of a potential mate is more accurately predicted by smell than by any other means.
What is known colloquially as "chemistry" is largely down to smell. This is why people sometimes fall hard and fast online or even in person, and then when it's time for that first kiss, they're suddenly, "hmmm, this just doesn't feel right. There's no chemistry." The first kiss is the first time, given how often we bathe and how much scent we tend to use, that you get your first good whiff of the other person.
When women are not pregnant, they strongly prefer the smells of genetically compatible males. When women are pregnant, that changes, and suddenly they strongly prefer the smells of males who are closely related to them--fathers, brothers, sons.
Now. Given all of that, I was very interested to read an article on "sexual chemistry" that quoted a marriage counsellor as saying: "You'd be amazed at how many couples I've seen who've been married for 10 or 15 years, and all of a sudden the wife is complaining, 'I just can't stand the way he smells.'"
This is very much my own experience with my ex. I got my tubes tied after three kids, and all of a sudden he smelled like gamey pork to me.
We have seen a marked increase in heritable disorders and conditions over the last 40 or 50 years: allergies, asthma, auto-immune disorders, ADHD, autism (is it weird that they're all "A" words?).
Two of my three kids were hyperlexic--super-early readers but very late talkers, and have completely atypical social development and skills that sometimes get misdiagnosed as autism. I mean, they've gotten by and have mostly grown out of the most handicapping aspects of hyperlexia, but they're still weird as fuck. When I looked at the indicators for hyperlexia, they're traits that are overrepresented on my side of the family and their father's.
Do you think that because hormonal birth control partially mimics the hormonal state of pregnancy (you're already pregnant, so don't release another egg), that maybe this increase in these heritable disorders and conditions, as well as the seeming epidemic of divorces that occur round about the time when women have had their children and are going off the pill, might be due to how the pill disrupts women's ability to detect the genetic compatibility of a given male through "sexual chemistry"?
abetterarsonist 8y ago
What the fuck! This is brilliant!
Demonspawn 8y ago
What you are getting into are some of the reasons why I think hormonal birth control should be restricted to married women: it actually changes mate selection.
While I've known/realized the divorce problems inherent to the pill, I hadn't considered the genetic incompatibility leading to more heritable diseases angle. It's a definite possibility, but also possible that the pill leading to later and later first births is also causing that problem. Might even be both leading to the increases in those disorders.
KyfhoMyoba 8y ago
I've seen a graph combining the adoption of hormonal BC and the divorce rate. Near perfect correlation with a time lag of about 3-5 years.
Remember that women's mate preference changes across the ovulatory cycle (Haselton, Gangestad), and the pill makes a woman's body think that she's pregnant. I've seen a woman split from her bf of 14 years 2 months after going off the pill, for, in her words, no real reason.
[deleted] 8y ago

girlwriteswhat 8y ago
I wish I had some comprehensive link to give you that would demonstrate it in one study or article. It was a speculation (and it IS a speculation) that had come to me after reading several articles and watching a documentary (might have been Desmond Morris' The Naked Ape?) over a span of probably 20 years.
I will say that I would suspect that this mechanism is much stronger in women than in men (if it exists in men at all). While men can, in fact, fairly accurately detect their best genetic "match" by smelling shirts worn by various women, the pattern seems to be that it is the woman who is seriously put off by a poor genetic match's scent.
While you say you have lost interest in her, you haven't indicated that you find her smell revolting, which is a common complaint from women in couples counselling in their 30s to mid-40s.
This makes sense given the much higher biological risk and caloric cost to a woman of making a mistake in mate selection. The response would be aversive, rather than a simple absence of "chemistry".
As well, I have no evidence (circumstantial or otherwise) that being on the pill would alter a woman's personal scent. While there's ample evidence that pregnancy changes your sense of smell (I could tell you some stories--vomiting at the smell of previously favorite foods cooking, attending the salmon run and smelling not rotting fish but fresh garden peas, instead. No joke), I haven't seen or read anything that would lead me to be certain that the way a woman smells changes significantly during pregnancy.
In fact, if her sense of smell changes such that she begins to strongly prefer the smells of close male relatives when pregnant in order to maximize the immediate availability of potential male protectors, it wouldn't make much sense for her to stop also liking her mate's scent while she's pregnant. It also wouldn't make sense for her male relatives or her mate to find her smell repellent at any time, pregnant or not.
That is, she would find close male relatives' scents repellent and good genetic matches' scents attractive when fertile, and when pregnant, she'd find them all attractive (at least in the sense of wanting to be around them). For men, I have no idea how strong the effect would be, other than to say that it would not be an aversive response. It would be, as you have indicated here, the absence of "chemistry" rather than a negative "chemistry".
I am by no means certain about any of this, though. It is still speculation. And the good news is that even if true, it would likely not affect every couple, given that it would be in a woman's reproductive interest to maintain her chemical attraction to her mate while pregnant (which might be why her sense of smell can go completely haywire to the point where some favorite smells are intensified and other favorite smells become vomit-inducing).
I think the only way you'll be able to really tell one way or the other whether this is simply a LTR winding down (it happens), or perhaps a subconscious emotional response to the idea of having a child (that happens, too), would be to determine how she feels about how YOU smell to her now.
If she suddenly can't stand the smell of you, your relationship is probably close to ending anyway, at her instigation.
As for how to broach the topic, I don't know if I can help you there. You probably will seem like a crazy person if you bring it up right at the beginning, but it would suck to get emotionally invested in each other and build up trust, and then run the experiment and find out you're not compatible. :/
52576078 8y ago
Can confirm. Girlfriend broke up with her ex because she "couldn't stand his smell", and they weren't having sex. Funnily enough, she claims it was the only reason for breaking up. They're still great friends.

Hey Milo, thanks for taking the time aside to chat to us - what's your opinion on what the conservatives have done, or plan to do, in the UK since they've been in power? Specifically:
As an outspoken conservative, I'm curious to see how you would react to the conservative government seemingly pushing some really varied and often left-leaning policies.
[edit] it's also hilarious to watch TBP completely avoid attacking you. They vehemently criticise everything that turns up on here, but one of the most upvoted comments on their thread about your AMA is "meh" - it's funny to watch leftist identity-politics rules backfiring on them.
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
I'm not a fan of any of this stuff--except privatising the NHS, obviously. (If that were actually happening under the Tories, which it isn't.)
I'm not sure TBP is falling prey to identity politics. From what I can tell, they're just being polite because they want to get semi-serious answers out of me. Nothing wrong with being on best behaviour. Don't worry, I read the comments about my stuff when I'm not doing AMAs--many of them are insightful, and make a difference to what, and how, I write the next time.
rp_valiant 8y ago
interesting take - I've never seen them back away from a post so aggressively but assuming they're caught up in identity politics is probably making unfounded assumptions. I've never seen the group as a whole be on good behaviour (even when Karen Straughan did an AMA here) but it could well be that they want to see what you have to say. Sometimes the TBP and SRS tone is so similar that I confuse one with the other.
[edit] for clarity, I meant this post where the only comment with the usual scorn is the one by a woman who didn't know you're gay: [thebluepill]/comments/3x973r/just_as_an_fyi_milo_yiannopoulos_ama_theredpill/
[edit 2] also, the idea that the conservatives want to, or have started to, privatise the NHS has been mentioned by various media outlets, but then again with the leftist bias in the media we can't exactly read much into that.

bsutansalt 8y ago
Oddly enough the Obama administration already did this and found there isn't one. It's all in the Consad Report. After looking at years of experience, education levels, etc. and actually comparing apples to apples, the age gap shrank to something so small it fell within the margin of error. Ergo, there is no actual wage gap. What does exist is women's risk adverse nature to working the same hours and dangerous jobs that men do. The reason women don't make up half of the Fortune 500 CEOs is the same reason women don't make up half the garbage collectors, half the homeless, half the mentally ill, or half of the on-the-job fatalities.

One thing you mention a good bit in interviews is that being gay allows you to get to a deeper level of debate, since you can't just be dismissed. There are also women, such as the wonderful Christina Hoff Sommers, who can argue for us. Sometimes it seems that these are the only arguments that are heard with out immediately being dismissed as misogyny. Is there a future of straight men being able to engage in these debates, or will we have to continue to depend on people like you and Christina for anything to be heard. Could GamerGate lay the groundwork for how these stands could possibly be taken?

How do you feel when feminists call gay men misogynistic? Do you consider it homophobic and thus yet another example of feminist hypocrisy?
And how would you address those on the right who are wary of homosexuality, as a sign of modern moral decline? Has the fear of mass immigration of perhaps less tolerant groups into the west caused a shift in the gay community's political leanings?
How welcome do you think you would be in America's conservative south, given your unique position on the political spectrum? Have you ever gone there, and if you have, what was your experience?
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
Gays aren't misogynists, we just don't always care about tiptoeing around women's feelings--and when you think about it there's no reason why we should. To some people, that amounts to "misogyny."
Allowing mass Muslim immigration will have only one effect on the gay community: more conservative voters. http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2015/11/16/im-a-gay-man-and-mass-muslim-immigration-terrifies-me/
I have so many fans in Texas I can't tell you. They call me the only fag they'd have a beer with. And I've had lots of email from people in places like Alabama and Tennessee, from parents of gay kids, saying they hope their kids turn out like me and not like what they see on television. I don't think people in the South are bigoted. I just think they're fed up with being lied about and lied to--and when a gay guy, even a flamboyant one, talks common sense, they celebrate him!

Extra qeustion: what are your thoughts on the so-called controversy of the danish comedian who posted a picture of him naked bathing with his small daughter. He did it because he was tired of how all men are seen as pedophiles these days and that there is nothing wrong with naked bathing. If you go back 50 years in Denmark allmost all families on the beach would be swimming naked, and if children were having fun with a sprinkler and bathing in it they would do so naked, but now everybody is a lot more scared of nakedness

Hey Milo. Do you think that false rape accusations are more common than society and feminists like to make out? I was falsely accused of rape and the charges were dropped. I had to go to through 6 months of unnecessary stressing though. I think it's ridiculous how a woman can claim rape and potentially ruin a mans life just because she had sex that she regretted, wants to get revenge on her partner, wants to cover up infidelity..etc. There's a forum dedicated entirely to false rape accusations and it seems like it's a common occurrence. The worst part is that women rarely get prosecuted for making false allegations.

As a fellow right-wing faggot, I am absolutely loving how popular your writing has become. I am literally the only gay man I know under the age of 35 who is not a bleeding-heart liberal. I blame it on two factors: hanging around women too much, and pop culture brainwashing. Gay men are being conditioned by society to act like uptight lesbians, and it breaks my heart.
So what do you think conservative fags like myself should do? I try to tell people that now that gay marriage (barf) is legal, there are really no good reasons for gay men to vote Democrat. All this does is make them act like upset lesbians. Should we start a "Stop Acting Like Lesbians" campaign for gay men?

Yes, I was in several all-boys classes which my high school tried briefly. In the two semesters where they ran boys only and girls only courses in nearly every department, boys grades (including mine) shot sky-high. I jumped from a C+ student to a 108% grade in Trigonometry, straight A's across the board, and a 99th Percentile score on the ACT Standardized test. All male classes, including ONLY male teachers for boys, were a staggering success.
Girls grades stayed level for those 2 semesters.
They cancelled it for "budgetary reasons".
Anyway, that's my experience. If factual work elsewhere proves otherwise, I'll adjust my opinion.

Anyone who will ostracise you for differing political opinions isn't worth having in your life. Fuck them. Cut them out of yours first.

taracus 8y ago
I found myself reading and agreeing with a lot of the TRP ideas after getting sort of sick of hearing feminists complain about how hard it is to be a women.
Do you believe the reason behind the right-wing (racist) wave in all of Europe (and with #Trump2016 maybe also in America) is a result of the need to stay PC and calling anyone pointing out any statistics related to race/nationality is being called racist?
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
Good, decent people are sick of being called sexist, racist and bigoted when they know they're not. They are sick of political correctness and speech codes. They are sick of being lied to about gender, immigration, you name it.
The inevitable result is popularity for candidates like Trump. I, for one, am loving the spectacle.
GamerGateFan 8y ago
What you are going to find is these solutions to racism, drugs, sexism are infective. I tend to believe it is because the problem is being misrepresented which causes the solution to misidentify what needs to be done, worsening or even creating the problem they are trying to solve. Reeducation, shaming, and similar tactics, at least as they are done now, are not a solution to these so called "problems".

I wasn't able to find one on sexism at this time, probably because sociology and gender studies is completely owned and it would be against their interest to debunk themselves.

Milo, late to the party, to be clear, I appreciate your media clout, but don't know much about you aside from the posts answered thus far and a few interview videos. The one I've appreciated most this far is you with Stephen crowder. You seemed to take more thought and be more willing to unveil yourself to him.
For this reason I can't say the usual (thanks for your awesome) or the like. I do very much appreciate the Lantern you hang on male space issues.
I do have an honest question I hope you respond to.
morality applied to mra vs enjoy the decline, or maybe mgtow
I know they're not necessarily mutually exclusive, but what kind of philosophy should be applied to this praxeology (of trp?)
Descriptivist? Expressivist? What would you suggest for a lifelong practicing stoic who isn't interested in excess demonstrative marketing, but just living their life, maybe with the contingent effect of pushing the agenda? If your morality is Catholic based, that's fine too. (I partially expect this.)
I look forward to your response if any. Thank you for your time.

In the recent UK documentary 'Reggie Yates extreme UK' (episode 2) that you featured in, did you get the feeling (off camera) that Reggie understood the plight of men inhabiting the manosphere, more than he let on? And also were any scenes or anything you said not included/edited out?

Hi Milo, love the work you have done and thanks for comming here
Now, I love how you bombard your opposition like Russia is currently doing, however not everyone is in a position to be so aggressive about it.
Some friends and I have been offered an opportunity for some face time with/on some PTV. (plus, possible facebook group/youtube channel) Let me note now that this isn't in Britannia or 'Murica as I don't have the want to experience social
suicideexclusion.It's gonna have a boyish tonality and will appeal for young men, which gives us lots of opportunities to make free jabs against the feminist narrative. For obvious reasons I don't want to address when, where or even specifically what. As I know TRP is monitored, and I don't want people to travel all the way to [23^th undisclosed-Avenue] just to smash my windows with frozen bloody tampons.
With that being said, what pro-feminist subjects would you suggest that we bring up? Things like pay gap myth is just plain boring to the average teen, unlike mannequin sizes or the fat-shaming propaganda.
It might not be actively fighting the horde of legbeards, however if people learn from an early age to see through the bullshit, they'll be better equipped to filter out bullshit.

Hey Milo! A football league is rumoured to be starting in England soon whereby the football matches will be played by women wearing only lingerie. As you'd expect, feminists are in uproar about the rumour as they believe it objectifies women. However, I think that if this league is starting then it could lead to the complete opposite - it will attract many viewers, maybe for the 'wrong' reasons, but if this league does become one of high-profile then it will desexualise women, which is what many feminists really want. What are your opinions on this proposal?

Part of me believes that a veritable feminist is as "red pill" as someone who is a "masculinist."
That is to say, while men and women both have good reason to advocate their own rights in an egalitarian framework, the objective, in the end is the same for both groups. Both "feminists" and "masculinists" are not only mutually compatible, but are complementary within the non-oppression--independent from PC culture--movement.
To what degree would you concur with this observation? Aren't we really on the same team here?
Also, do you think it is possible for men and women to still assume their traditional sexual, relational, and/or familial roles while at the same time having equal economic footing, or does "true equality" actually necessitate a re-thinking of the "family dynamic?"
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
Of course men and women are on the same team. It's only feminists who want to drag women off to play a different game entirely--one with ever-changing rules in which everyone loses.

nyrp 8y ago
Hi, Milo. Thanks for everything. Proud to be one of your #5000.
I have so many possible questions, but will keep it relative Red Pill focused as that's where we are.
Within the gay community, behind the scenes, how may gays are actually into the idea of getting married, raising (some other woman's) children? Following that, I know that you've said gay white men are being pushed towards the oppressor category, but is it also true that some gays (besides you) want out of the whole progressive LGBT schema, because that vision of being gay is not the way they perceive it?
I am in RCIA, and becoming Catholic. I've been particularly interested in your rants against atheism. I respect the way you see your homosexuality as a burden. My parallel would be that I'm not gay, but I want to be Catholic, yet I love fucking many bitches without marrying them. So, no need to compare our respective missing of the mark regarding Catholic faith. But I am just curious, if it's not too personal, how you see yourself balancing the two, and furthermore, doing so in public, where if they don't hate you for being Catholic, they hate you for being a gay who's Catholic and not a church hater.
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
Hello #5000 elite.
Yes, gays are natural cultural libertarians and my hunch is that the majority want out. I want the wholesale dissolution of the LGBT lobby. It's meaningless and irrelevant and most of its figureheads are working entirely against our interests.

Do gay men have a more straitforward interest in sex then strait women?
Women's sex drives are certainly far more context orientated then men's are.
https://youtu.be/Ip7kP_dd6LU?t=11m47s
According to pornhub only 20% of the visitators are women. Meanwhile 84% of the people who read erotic fiction are women.
For gay guys this seems flipped. For instance there was an alternative to playboy called playgirl for women but it got shut down because most of their readers were gay. Women had no interest in the magazine and would much rather read romance novels.
I think the fact that gay men have testosterone means that their sex drives resembles strait men's more.
For instance here's an NPR interview with a women who's took testosterone describing how her libido went through the roof
http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/220/Testosterone?act=2#play
What are your thoughts?
I honestly kinda think that strait women are gay and that gay and bi men are only people who are actually attracted to men. I mean women constantly compliment each other saying stuff like "you look sexy". I mean I could understand if women called each other "pretty" or "beautiful". But sexy? Why do they constantly use an adjective that explicitly describes an act that facilitates reproduction?Vic versa you can call a guy handsome , but if you call him sexy he'll definitely think your gay.
Also women are very touchey and loveydovey with each other. For instance check out this image which makes fun of how women pose with their friends.
Meanwhile just holding hands with a guy is seen as gay
Blerks 8y ago
Hi Milo, thanks for your time. I got into TRP and questioning feminist theory as a result of reading Dr. Roy Baumeister's "Is There Anything Good About Men?" In it, he talks a lot about many topics, but emphasizes male disposability. As a result of that reading and my own observations, it seems to me that culture has this attitude towards men: "If something's bothering you just suck it up and deal with it, or you'll be replaced by another man who won't complain."
That makes me pessimistic that it will ever be socially acceptable for men to ask for help or complain about mistreatment. How bad do you think things will have to get before men's issues get taken seriously? Could it ever happen?

What is your position on circumcision of infants? In a recent debate it sounded like you supported the position (which I agree with) that it's a barbaric ritual that should be banned, unless people choose to have it done to themselves.
But you've also written articles like this, and shit like this still shows up on Breitbart. So what's your real opinion about it?
I'm a strong believer in the idea that everyone owns their own body, and that no one else should ever be able to make decisions for someone else's body (with the exception of medically necessary actions). Everyone should get to choose what is right for their own body - for every situation, not just circumcision.

Anyone who is aware of your existence Milo is also likely to be aware of your 'dislike' of the transgender community. As a young UK conservative, I often find myself disagreeing with your points of view on this topic.
Firstly, I'd like to point out that I agree with the standpoint that asserts that far more psychological/neurological research should be done into transgenderism, such that alternative treatments (other than transitioning) can be offered.
Statistically, the suicide rate of transgender people does not significantly change after transitioning. However, there are many people who after transitioning have lived much fuller, happier lives. This should be their choice.
It should be your choice as whether or not to chastise transgender people for their decision. However, it would be wise to remember that this is the only hope they have yet been given by the scientific community. The only treatment they've been told can help their affliction. As of yet, no other treatments have been scientifically validated.
There are many transgender people out there who are crying out for more solutions to their condition. I personally place the blame on the far left who I see as preventing scientific research into areas they deem as potentially offensive.
Don't misinterpret me, I do not support the politically correct brand of transgender folk. I'm just taking it upon myself to be a spokesperson for those who don't side with those trying to censor other's free speech.
This is mostly a reminder, to not form an opinion of a group based on their most vocal members. There are many in the transgender community who won't speak their mind for the same reason that many in the world today won't speak theirs. They fear the media.
On a lighter note, your opinion on atheism is in huge contrast to your usual logic-based opinions (I'm personally atheist if my bias wasn't obvious already). There is a reason everyone is behind you until you starting discussing atheism Milo; it is an area in which you are weak. That said, I do find your contrarian views hilarious and if you want to continue fighting against atheism, I advise you do a little more research to do it properly (I always love to see good points put across, even if they're in contrast to my own beliefs).
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
Thanks for this. I don't think our positions are too far apart. I agree the far-Left is stifling discussion about other treatment pathways.
And I agree with you about the more vocal trans lobby not being reflective of a lot of transgender people, which I tried to make clear here: http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/11/10/i-am-so-done-with-the-trans-outrage-brigade-why-im-supporting-drop-the-t/
On the atheist stuff: I just like needling reddit atheists because they take the bait so easily. I can't help but wind people up who blow their top at the slightest quip. Normally that means people on the political Left--especially feminists--but I do it where I see thin-skinned intolerance of opinion elsewhere, too.

Why did Breitbart throw Trump under the bus for the Muslim ban comment? Are you aware of what's going on in your country and indeed all over Europe (Rotherham rape scandal)?
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
One of the things people aren't used to seeing in this age of politically correct media conformity is publications that make space for dissenting voices. Breitbart does. We have 100 writers. You won't agree with the opinion of every one of them.
But I think our Trump coverage has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic--which of course pleases me, because he is awesome.
[deleted] 8y ago
I think he's awesome as well - I focus on his political incorrectness, his independent wealth, his anti-TTIP position, his humor.
However, the people around me focus on the misunderstanding of his jokes (about women and Mexicans), and on his comments about Muslims (even though the majority of Americans, or at least the congress, agree with him).
Do you have any ideas for how to answer these concerns, or tips for arguing/being pro-Trump in a way that is not completely politically incorrect (i.e. dangerous)?

I honestly might just stay in the states and go to school here, I found a school that is affordable and ranks very high in CS, it has its drawbacks: shitty area, poor teaching reputation, but what I'm scared most of is that because I'm not a 10/10 in looks, that it'll be hard for me to fully enjoy the College Experience (TM)
Its a STEM focused school, Girl to Guy ratio is something absurd like 1-7... I've been told it has no social atmosphere, but I screwed my high school GPA up when I had my first girlfriend - Spent all my time trying to impress her, make her happy, and DELIBERATELY put aside my studies because I was a beta little shit
I have since then gotten my priorities straightened out, but my college options are limited despite my solid standardized testing scores :(
I wanna at least visit Europe, I have so much family in Ireland, I am borderline obsessed with England, specifically, but not limited to Football.

I wanted to suggest "Monk Mode", but I see you figured that out... Just remember, if you're doing CS, the best programmers don't become the best because of school, but despite school. If you're interested in CS, do your best to explore it in your free time - everything from networking protocols, OS/kernel, compiler writing, different languages, to GUI programming, game programming, web development, iOS/Android programming... If you do that, the world will be your oyster when you come out of school and move to e.g. NYC.

While the tone of a "muslim ban" may sound offensive to liberal ears I think we need to face the harsh reality that many people (not just a tiny minority like the media wants you to believe) in the Islamic world believe things that are simply incompatible with the Western world. A temporary muslim ban is sensible and it is not unconstitutional either. America and the rest of the West don't owe it to the world to take in third world muslims if a significant portion hold ideals incompatible with our civilizations (or could even be radical terrorists). The last thing the West needs right now is more muslims.

Further, look at the Nazi party rise during the years before the war. Starting from a couple hundred people in the early 20's, by the end of the decade they had somewhere around 130,000 registered members. Within 3-5 years, party membership ballooned to over 800,000 members; this was at the beginning of the party's seizure of control.
An estimate from this time last year had ISIS/ISIL numbers upwards of 200,000 (those numbers include support and security personnel, not just fights, but then again, the Nazi's had security and paramilitary wings, too).
I bring this up because ISIS influence can (and has) skyrocket real quick when they get the message out. It's not unreasonable — hell, it even HAPPENED within the past 100 years — for a small, extreme group, one with SEVERE hatred of another group, to not only garner support and influence, but completed overtake a government and nigh-destroy a culture and its people.
Call it what you will — fear, preparedness, caution — it CAN happen. Mind you, this is all assuming that ISIS is only as bad as the Nazi party. I have no doubt, given the support and resources, they have the potential to be much worse.

The CIA has gotten really good at recruiting from facebook.
Wake up, folks. ISIS/ISIL is a wholly owned subsidiary of western (NATO and its allies - Saudi Arabia and Qatar) intelligence.
The US has done nothing, zero, zip, zilch, nada to stop ISIS in Syria, because ISIS is doing exactly what US foreign policy dictates: remove all secular Arab leaders and install theocratic regimes. This has been exposed in the FOIA request from Judicial Watch to the DIA.
All the US has to do to stop ISIS is to quit helping it.

Keep calm, rational and don't give them an excuse to call you a sexist or bigot.

Anyone who doesn't come around after a while is a lost cause and you should cut them out of your life. They will only ever be a drain on you and they will add nothing of value to your life or to anyone else's.

Hello Milo,
Big fan of your writing. This is my question:
What is your opinion on the current glorification of transexuality? I listened to your JRE interview and I understand the problem that this issue presents to gender identity politics (if there is a female brain, then male/female differences are biological). How are we sure that it is not a mental disease, like schizophrenia? Moreover, shouldn't there be a stipulation that individuals that want hormone therapy should at least wait until they are adults. I've seen posts of people glorifying parents that give their children hormone therapy to justify their own narratives and beliefs and to seem "progressive" and get internet brownie points. Things that might be considered child endangerment and child abuse. Children don't know who they are and what they want, that's the role of a parent, to help guide their children during these stages of development. What are your thoughts?
NatisLeson 8y ago

(PS I love you and your sacred hair <3)
Edit: Is there a way GamerGate (gamers) can help fight this cancer as of now? Example: Prioritize more ops and reinforce the notion of support for companies that stand up to this shit.
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
Publishers and developers throw bones to the crazies by offering, say, playable female leads. But they know who their customers are. I believe in the power of the free market here.
I can't tell you too much about the conversations I've had with publishers and publishers' associations, but I'll put it this way: they are by and large decent and reasonable people who know their customers are also decent and reasonable people, and very, very few of them buy in to crackpot feminist complaints about their products.
Oh, and they hate the games press just as much as the rest of us.
Thank you for your judicious and wise assessment of my hair, which is the best hair.

ACraftyApe 8y ago
How is it that as a right wing religious person you know more about the gaming industry than the gaming press itself? You are spot on. Nintendo confirmed 93% of their userbase is male and official youtube statistics show that 10 gaming categories are in the top 15 most male-dominated categories, going as high as 94%, competing with bodybuilding and football! And similar numbers have been shown in esports.

Milo, as an American I was dumbfounded by the muslim rape gang scandal that unfolded in Rotherham and elsewhere. I've read reports on it, but I feel they were too constrained by PC to really get into how this would happen.
What were the factors that led to the authorities (and feminists! Holy fuck, the one time they could have legitimately invoked "rape culture," they didn't!) looking the other way while this occurred? Was it simple Scrutonesque Oikophobia, or something more?
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
The fear of being branded racist, believe it or not. It leads liberals (of course, everyone involved in the cover-up was a progressive) to do insane, inhuman, absurd, sociopathic, inexplicable things.
Sdom1 8y ago
That was the first thing that occurred to me, but I figured there had to be something more as that couldn't be all of it. I suppose this is what happens when you don't actually have a 1st Amendment.

As for war or collapse--we're already fighting one, with radical Islam. Europe's demographics are being radically altered by mass immigration and the refugee crisis. Once women see what happens when you import real rape culture into western cities, you'll start to see a lot of change...

War with radical Islam is not really a war. These guys are so pathetically weak compared to Western powers. They're a nuisance.

Considering since you posted the above reply, the mass sexual assault in Cologne has occurred on New Years Eve, did you envisage that this would be the type of event that would trigger increased female awareness of imported real rape culture to the West? What impact do you believe there will be on what Merkel's CDP labeled Germany's 'Welkomkulture'?

Interversity 8y ago
What could possibly lead you to that assertion? I mean, do you have even a shred of actual reasoning?
bluedrygrass 8y ago
It's using reasoning that led to that statement. Rape fantasies have been extimated to be present in 60% of the woman. And this is a conservative extimate, given how much the other women probably lied.
Feminists are extremely frustrated and sexually unsatisfied in their lives. They miss and wish dominant masculine men, instead they got weak blue pillers always cathering to them and breaking down.
Additionally, feminists are particularly twisted females, as anyone who have laid one will tell you.
Lastly, have you ever heard a feminist complaining about females condition in muslim countries? It should be their number 1 issue with the world of today, instead they never speak against it.
2+2
Interversity 8y ago
Rape fantasies are not the same as 'literally wanting to be raped and enjoying it'. Very, very, very few people will ever enjoy someone holding them at gunpoint and raping them. I'm sure you can understand this distinction.
Did you never read Models? Here's a quote
That's why rape fantasies are popular. It's the being desired powerfully part that makes it appealing to women, not the actual event of being raped.
[citation needed]
Yes, all the time? Considering it's one of the last areas with really serious oppression and subjugation of women, I've heard several feminists talk about the Middle East being the most important place for change.
Yeah, definitely all adding up to 'women want to be raped.'
Come on dude, this is insanity.
bluedrygrass 8y ago
You just sound like a mix between a sjw and a PUA. I explained the points clearly, and you just twisted and distorted them. Like a mere sjw. Also it's clear you don't know women, and even less feminists. You're still projecting your fantasies over them, instead of actually listening and observing and understanding their motivations.
I could explain to you why the rape fantasies are a thing, biologically, but it gets posted pretty regularly so if you didn't read it it's just wasted time.

Two tips:
1) Look up Toastmasters. I once asked my Dad the exact same question and his immediate response was to go to Toastmasters to improve communication skills.
2) Milo's response is literally no different that what sales people figure out once they become "good" at selling their product. After enough conversations, the subject matter becomes second nature, and you can rattle off intelligent, accurate, well-spoken answers as if it were as you described. This becomes particularly fun because then you can start to focus on tweaking delivery and word usage and whatnot once you're not having to actually think about what to say. I worked a sales job, made 10,000 cold calls in under a year and it wasn't long before I could handle the most brutal of rejections as if I'd heard them a thousand times.
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
Be you. Don't put on a special speaking voice. Don't try to sound like anyone else. Express yourself as you would to your best friend, and you'll fix 90% of bad speaking habits.
And yes, a lot of practice, so you know your material well, you are confident with dates and names and concepts and you are used to anticipating objections.
These days it only takes 5-6 words of an opponent speaking for me to figure out what their rejoinder is going to be, so I spend the remaining minute working out my reply.

Were you always sure you'd have a future like you have now, or were there uncertain times? And what is advice you'd give to yourself during your first year in University?
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
Don't drop out. You need your education. I got very lucky--not just with job opportunities but being born a flamboyant, eloquent, handsome faggot. Not everyone has those gifts and even if you do, chances are you won't make it without an education and you only will in the media or some other fluffy subject. So finish your degree!

As to your question: I agree. I think the tide is turning. I think you're about to see a wholesale abandonment of progressive values by the public. The truth is they've always been in the minority--read Christina Hoff Sommers on this topic. But it's getting even more pronounced now.
Amazing that fewer than 1 in 5 American women now calls herself a feminist. You've hit upon the reason why. Hopefully, people who believe in free speech, equality and fact-based discourse will stop voting for candidates and parties who don't.

[deleted] 8y ago

moralprolapse 8y ago
I got to this thread late, and Milo is gone, but I'd be interested to hear others' take on this.
I think he's half right on this, but I think it depends on what particular issue you you're talking about, and the particular time period. Abolition was a progressive issue, as was desegregation and women's suffrage. When those movements were first being thought up, their proponents were in the minority; until they weren't.
Slavery and segregation aren't coming back. Women's suffrage isn't going anywhere. The only examples of progressive policies I can think of that have ever historically been rolled back in some countries are alcohol and drug prohibition, and maybe Keynesian economic policy.
I think if tide does turn in the near future, it would be more accurate to say that progressive ideologies had saturated the market, and any defensible, rational progressive battle has already been fought and won, to the extent that any new (and many contemporary) progressive movements are bound to be utterly irrational, indefensible horse shit.
I think it would be better to say that progressive ideologies have reached a point of marked saturation
Crimsonwind85 8y ago
So... In essence, feminism ? (Third wave more particularly )
[deleted] 8y ago
Hello Milo, this is a bit of a long-winded question so to give some context I'm a 20 year old "whitewashed" (as they call it) Muslim man born and raised in Canada who finds the "non-liberalized to make the white man happy" version of my religion a bit.. extreme. I think feminism and the feminine imperative is only going to help bring more of this extremism to the West and create a clash of sorts.
Although you are gay yourself, from watching some of your stuff I think it's fair to say you understand the value of family, and the value of heterosexual people for the sake of the human species. Any culture or group of people that has advanced as a civilization has had values that encourage the concept of a family; be it India or China.
Now this is just partly my own theory but here it goes. Birth rates in a lot of first world countries are extremely low. The average age is shockingly high. In Canada and the UK I believe it is around 40. I think we both understand why that's bad from an economic perspective. People in the West just aren't reproducing enough. Benefits to the retired class are obviously much higher than in 3rd world countries. To counteract all these issues, I believe immigration will only be on the rise. You can preach tolerance all you want, but I believe it's all about power. I believe tensions will only rise and conflicts will only increase when the influx of Muslims will increase. Until unless systematic changes are made to encourage men to reproduce more, things look a bit dull for the West.
1) Why are people in Western countries not having as much kids and why are birth rates constantly on the decline? I believe feminism and the feminine imperative plays a huge role in this. A tl;dr of third wave feminism to me was always "have your cake and eat it too". With biased family courts, insane alimony payments that you get jailed for if you don't pay, high divorce rates, biases when it comes to custody, "AlphaFucksBetaBucks", I don't blame men for not reproducing as much or at all. How much do you think the feminine imperative society has shoved down our throats plays a role in this if at all? Do you think if drastic systematic changes were made to increase the incentives for men to reproduce that birth rates and average age would improve in a lot of first world countries? Do you see this as a problem?
2) Why are you optimistic about things to improve? I don't know how much you agree with Red Pill theory but from a biological perspective women are the valuable sex and men are the disposable ones. If you have 10 men and one women you'd be just as good off with 1 man. If you have 10 women and 1 man, you can reproduce 10 times, etc. This is why you'll always see people laughing if a girl teases a guy and starts hitting him but as soon as he strikes back society jumps in. If a girl is demolishing a guy, I assume most would just sit back and record it. Obviously living according to these biological perspectives perfectly is bullshit today because, well, feminism. However, most men don't realize this. My point is I believe to some extent men are biologically programmed to be doormats for women. If they weren't I don't think things would have gone this bad in the first place. Why do you see things getting better in the future? How can you convince every beta male that women aren't machines you put nice coins into and aren't appreciative creatures? I can see a rise in MGTOWs, MRAs and Red Pillers but I just am curious to know why you expect most men to become more "enlightened".

Milo, long time fan and admirer here. (Well, I've been a fan since I saw you on that BBC Debate a few months ago, but it's all about context given your rapid rise in followers).
It's great to see somebody out there in the media standing up for common sense, I think that your rise in popularity can be attributed to your timing. The western world has been obsessed with political correctness and leftist nonsense for years, but I think it's only within the last 1 or 2 years that we've started to become submissive to acceptance, correctness and other forms of essential bullying.
My question to you is this, I've always wondered how you made your money, was it through venture capitalism and wise investing, pure profit from your previous websites and businesses or was it shameless inheritance?
My confidence in your ability is to save us from a social distopia will be unwavered by whatever answer you give.

Thank you so much for being a voice for men's issues.
Do you intend to visit India and are you aware of the misuse of Dowry law (Section 498A) here in India? Many men and their families are victims of it and (most) feminists in India are not bit concerned about it.

I think when it comes to boys, mom should be the primary care-taker until about the age of 6 or 7. At that point, it's time for the boy to start passing dad wrenches in the garage, learning how to mow a lawn, and learning how to be a man in general.
This the problem we have with the current millenial generation of whiny, entitled, feminized, young men, and in some cases, serial killing school shooters.
All Men Must Have a Purpose, Even If That Purpose Is Becoming a Mass Murderer
Women can raise boys, but they cannot raise men. Single motherhood is perhaps the biggest travesty to be visited upon boys in the last 100 years.

Milo, thank you for coming here.
From my personal experience the U.S. military has become more feminine then ever before. Politicians led the charge against the military for having rape issues, but instead of stopping their after putting in preventive measures. They've toke it a step further and are trying to introduce women into special forces, the last true masculine space in the military and one with some of the toughest most self sacrificing jobs any one can have.
What are your opinions about this situation? & Is there any way to stop this change before the consequences have a lasting effect?

Women on the front lines is a disaster--it's a trendy experiment that the powers that be will have to reverse quickly, if they care at all about the lives of male soldiers. Or about winning wars.

Introduce a female to an all-male environment, the men shift from camaraderie to competition for the females attention. It's quite counterproductive but that's probably how the politicians like it. Let the retards run in circles while we make the big boy moves.

Amen. You'd laugh at some of the shit that goes down in the British army.

Hey Milo, thanks for being awesome. I recently read an article from an alt-right publication about women on the front lines. The author observed that when women are more and more accepted into previously male-exclusive arenas (politics, clergy, war) it usually means the roles they take are less crucial for success in the arena. eg. In the case of women on the front lines, the author's idea is that ground infantry is becoming less important to our overall military strategy, so now women are allowed to become soldiers. Seen like this, WotFL is more of a strategic decision than pure pandering.
I'm curious what you think of this idea in general as a heuristic, though. With leaders like Angela Merkel or Loretta Lynch or (potentially) Hilary Clinton, the idea seems chillingly accurate.

This is an alarming response. Here in the USA politicians have consistently proven to neither care about winning wars or soldiers lives since the Korean War.

This is what happens when we turn the military into a feminist social experiment. When the vast majority of women are unable to pass the standards, the standards will be lowered. And when the standards are lowered, men will die as a result.
They will literally cram the feminist notion of equality down our throats, even if they have to kill every last one of us to do it.

Another country will get to us before the feminists do.

How soon are we going to see new material from you and Gavin McInnes? That would be great.
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
I'll be in New York in February--hoping to do the show live then. So far we've only done Skype. Gavin's hilarious--one of the most naturally funny people I know.

Are you going to do any public events in NYC? I live here, would love to see you speak.

Hi Milo,
Thanks for taking the time to do this. I'm at one of the American schools that has been in the news recently with respect to protests about safe spaces and racial injustice. The administrators of these schools seem to be in a bit of a pickle, since over the years they've been allowing this monster (social justice ideology) to grow right in their backyard. Now, that same monster is turning on the progressive school administrators that have been allowing and facilitating its rise. Not only that, but any reasonable administrator can tell now that it's not financially/pragmatically possible to do enough to please the activists.
So here's the question: What do you see happening in the future as more and more progressive administrators are forced to step down under pressure from social justice activists; should we expect the situation to eventually dissipate on its own as the movement inevitably dies down, or do you think that these successes will only put even more progressives into positions of power that will magnify the problem? Also, what can you say in terms of strategy for an administrator to combat the activists whose insanity is now too much even for him/her to tolerate?
yiannopoulos_m 8y ago
Administrators have to start saying No. Until they do, nothing will change.
