I was reading up on the fiasco about the feminist chick who took off with $150,000 from her kickstarter and hasn't delivered and got to thinking about the Soft Shutdown posted by The Spearhead:

I wrote up a quick blurb in response to another poster and I think TRP might find it of interest:

I think this relates greatly to female solipsism. Consider that men enter into men groups as a matter of course. The experience is sink or swim. The guys down the street at the park play basketball. I might ask to join. They'll probably let me. As a man I know if I suck I should gracefully bow out, not complain and ask them to be nicer.
Women don't understand this is our experience too and they assume then that it's easy for us and we're only doing it to them via the big bad patriarchy.

Black classes, cells, garage gyms. He makes it sound like doing man only thing has to work about the same way as the Taliban do. Let's all hide in caves and be oppressed. Look, there women are trying to fuck shit up because they are bitter at being ignored because they don't have any worth anymore, pretty sure he could have found a better way to manage them. Just make the class "sign up" and then exclude people you don't want by saying it's full. God.

"Waaaaaaaah! This isn't exactly what I want! I'm quitting!"
He wanted a strong-man class. He built a strong-man class. Women joined. Some of them complained. Why is he giving a fuck?
If he doesn't want to tailor the class towards women? How about he not do that?
If the PPPs were giving him shit, how about he .shut. .them. .the. .fuck. .down. when they do it?
I view the guy as somebody that, when his exclusionary fantasy was infringed upon, threw a hissy-fit, and then took his ball and went home.

The problem is that the other guys are getting intimidated out of the class, and he can't control the other guys. He ends up with a bitchy woman only class which is no fun for him. I totally get why he'd quit, because his intended audience runs away, because they're still blue-pill, but the way he goes about it could really be improved. There are things you can and things you can't do, when things like his classes depends on other people, and those other people are blue pillers, even if you explain it, they won't get it. You sometimes have to subvert the system. Going away isn't a good way to go about it though. He has to find a way to exclude these women, without making it apparent that he's excluding them, that's the gist of it. White knighting and pussy vultures are a huge problem which is never recognized.

OK, I can see that. If he's worried that his core demographic is going to flee and he's left with the estrogen club, then yeah, I grok his decision.
