An old story came to mind

Mr. X

When I had my business I had a secretary who told me about her sister. This woman was on like her 4th husband and she made her money by essentially marrying these guys then divorcing him. She has 4 kids, one from a different marriage. (BTW the kids are like 12 to 16 and are screwing each other).

So one of the ex-husbands committed suicide. He blew his head off with a shot gun in his bedroom. Apparently it was over how miserable she made him. How she dumped him and how he was stuck paying for a kid he didn't want because she had lied about contraception plus she was fooling around behind his back. She apparently loves marrying firemen because the guys are out of the house like 4 days a week (they have to sleep at the fire house). So the court awards her his house and his property since he didn't have a will and she and the kid were the the immediate family. Ka-ching.

What struck and amazed me was how complicit the men in her life were to this. She's one of those women who, for some unknown reason, has some gaggle of male "friends" who are like construction guys, firemen etc who will mindlessly do stuff for her. And no she's not attractive or has big tits or anything. Not ugly but not attractive. So these guys, free of charge, go into the house and tear out the blood stained sheet rock and re-spackle the ceiling to get it ready for sale. Like accomplices to a murder they readily pony up and help this woman who would wipe her butt with them like toilet paper and throw them out to cover up the suicide so she can sell the home.

It struck me how men will do the most horrendous stuff for a female who will do nothing for them, even to the point of covering up a horrendous atrocity like this. And the guy who commits suicide? Oh he was a flake/dork/idiot etc of course. Its really an example of how men so blindly practice chivalry and eat their own for the favor of some female who does not care about them. Also these guys so gladly pony up to beat up anybody these women don't like. Again, amazing.

So why do men do this? To go through the effort to cover up a fellow man's suicide as though nothing happened. Its kind of scary to think my fellow man will "dispose of the body" so to speak so easily like zombies under orders from a witch doctor. That some horrible crime can be committed against me and my fellow man not only will stand by and watch but hold me down in the process. That I am so disposable and for such a useless and meaningless reason.

And for what? Approval? Some man merit badge? A pat on the back? Are men so pathetically starved of dignity and self esteem they need to go all Lord of the Flies and sacrifice one of their own to get affirmation they are men?

So this is why I'm with MRAs. Its not just about women. Its also the threat of other men who, like zombies, will destroy me for the approval of someone who doesn't even care about them. Its amazing how men have been reduced to this. Destroying each other for a few crumbs off the dinner table.

The Emperors New Clothes?

I'm often reminded of old stories every time someone comes up with a "new"
imminent-danger-in-need-of-immediate-action (by others, with THEIR assets) rears it's ugly head.

Most of these old stories are from 1001 Arabian Nights, Aesops Fables, The Brothers Grimm, adapted Chinese, African, and other folklore that has observed the foibles of humanity for  2000-3000 years or so.

Ooo...the scorpion explained the logic of why the frog should just go along with her and give her a free ride past her obstacle. Despite instinct, based on proved reputation, the frog reluctantly went along with it, even without any prospect of mutual benefit.
Why?

So true; the human condition being documented by "case studies"... I would extend the history of tale-telling to the first agricultural, settled people who lived some 10 Kyears ago.

Similarly, I've always wondered why male actors in commercials even agree to play the doofus role. Are they that hard up for money? Walk away, dude. Have some pride.

Well that I can understand same as some actresses will play sexually degrading roles for a paycheck. The more you're seen the more chance you have of landing bigger roles. John Belushi used to go to every movie set asking for volunteers for scenes like city street scenes. He would play a pedestrian, walk across the scene, quickly change jackets, walk across the scene, put on a hat etc just to get his face on camera.

There were a lot of celebrities who did the Dating Game just to get their face on camera.
