The Complete Far Side by Gary Larson.

And How to be Happy Without Money (it costs $400.00).

FWIW, I actually think you'd like The Manipulated Man quite a bit. And believe it or not, you might also actually like The Second Sex. It's way too long and self-involved, since she was, after all, Simone de Beauvoir. But I have to admit that it's got some real first-class original thinking in it, including quite a bit of the foundation on which the work of writers like Christina Hoff Summers is built, no matter how much the mere thought of S de B. makes me want to travel back in time and knock that turban off her self-regarding head.

Anyway. I guess you can consider that more of a suggestion than it is a recommendation. (I mean about The Second Sex, not The Manipulated Man.)

Of course, the real classic along the lines you're considering is:



However, demand apparently so greatly outstrips supply that prices for the four copies available on Amazon are in the $120 - $190 range. I'm a thrift-store addict, though. So I'll keep an eye out. Also, if you don't mind a little total acceptance of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion as authentic, there's always:



And....You might like Cathy Young's book, too. Although I'm honestly not sure to what degree her political take on non-gender-centric issues (with which you might have issues) colors her work on mens and wimmins, since I myself found pretty much every word she ever wrote vile, bilious, and destructive. However, there's no arguing over taste. And happily, if you want to decide for yourself, you can window-shop her work prior to purchase by checking out some examples of her work on the subject first.

As, for example, at the two links that I just now grabbed at random without reading the articles in question, here (a round-up review of some dumb feminist books that she scorns); and here ("Is America Shortchanging Male Children?").

I can accept that, so long as you continue to post.

Missed this one. Spitting in public is uncouth.

Tried it once. Didn't like it.

She used to get posted a lot on the anti-feminist forum of usenet. Very popular. Never liked her myself. Ifeminist, too much like feminist. Same for equity feminist. Like calling yourself a freedom loving democratic Nazi. Makes no sense.

Well I am the resident village idiot, dear.

A video of my flat:

[compared2what?]

Hey!

I'm in ur home, being thanked by the author of one of ur books. Sorry about that. You may just have to burn them all.



But that's okay. I'll still love you.

* * * * * * * *

I have fled from the bitter pleasures of mortals, and luxurious delights of life and its love; under Thy life-giving arms I desire to be protected, and to gaze for ever on Thy beauty, O blessed One.

For Thee, O Bridegroom, I keep myself pure; and with burning lamp I come to meet thee.

I have contemned union with mortal man; I have left my golden home for Thee, O King; I have come in undefiled robes, that I may enter with Thee into Thy happy bridal chamber.

For Thee, O Bridegroom, I keep myself pure; and with burning lamp I come to meet thee.

Having escaped the enchanting wiles of the serpent, and triumphed over the flaming fire and the attacks of wild beasts, I await Thee from heaven.

For Thee, O Bridegroom, I keep myself pure; and with burning lamp I come to meet thee.

And, um....See you then, I guess. Because I'm not going to be able to come by here again for quite a while, it doesn't look like.

Yours, fondly,

c2w

No, no, I always saw you as the resident anti-feminist that ya just can't help but take a shine to... Here's a book I've been meaning to get a hold of myself:

Nah, you're not. You love RI Too much & you'd miss it...

Whoa, I'd say they're gonna need a LOT of chemicals for that wedding!

Thanks, you've been great, I'll be here all week.

Rise of the Fourth Reich by Jim Marrs
Family of Secrets by Russ Baker
Behold a Pale Horse by Bill Cooper
Breaking Open the Head by Daniel Pinchbeck

[Belligerent Savant]

Behold a Pale Horse, by 'ol Willy Cooper! -- one of the first, if not THE first, "conspiracy" book I read, which opened the floodgates from there. Of course, there's probably quite a number of items I'd disagree with in that book now, all these years later [although I'm sure plenty of tea-baggers have this book in their bookshelves, alongside whatever pap spit out by Glenn Beck and his gang of mental midgets]

I believe our boy Hugh Manatee claimed Jim Marrs to be a stooge for the intel agencies in some prior thread somewhere in this forum -- surely no one here is surprised.


Breaking Open the Head was a good read, though his follow-up 2012 book seemed a bit contrived [indeed, Pinchbeck himself seems a bit contrived and agenda-driven, but I may be wrong].. his 'reality sandwich' blog is hit and miss.

[Montag]

Who hasn't been accused of being a stooge for the intelligence agencies?

p.s. Certainly Bill Cooper has...

[Belligerent Savant]

Cooper certainly has, yes.

Anyone that garners a decent amount of attention will invariably be dubbed a likely stooge.

I'm sure one of the better flow-chart designers among us can draft a lovely graphic displaying the congruence between the degree of attention a particular 'non-fiction' author receives with the charges of 'alignment with the spooks'.

Goes with the territory, apparently.

Now that I think of it, the above would be another fine addition to the "you know you're a conspiracy theorist when..." thread --

you know you're a conspiracy theorist when you suspect that any popular 'conspiracy' author is actually a stooge for the elite.

Didn't he get gunned down for not paying his taxes? Oh, and shooting at those cops?

That's what we were led to believe, anyway..
