Comment on “Duel” (1971) by oni

I think there is also some symbolism in the fact that he gives up his car and his briefcase to finally rid himself of the truck. Basically, he gives up everything he has - all of his material possessions, and all the immaterial qualities they represent. And note, ramming his tiny car into the truck didn’t really do anything to it. At the point of impact, we cut to a shot of the truck driver shifting gears as if nothing had happened at all. Mann’s counter attack was impotent, like Mann himself. After hitting the car, the truck driver seems to veer off the cliff of his own accord. I’m not sure that I completely get the symbolism there, but I’m convinced Mann did not defeat him.

At any rate, Mann gives up all his possessions and is left to die slowly and painfully in the desert. Hamlet asked if it was nobler to suffer through life, or to take arms against our troubles and end them, even if that means our death. Mann isn’t strong enough to endure suffering, but he doesn’t have the courage to stay in the car, so when he takes up arms he makes sure that he does it without risking his life. He doesn’t have the nobility of either of Hamlet’s choices.

I realize this is an old post, but I just have to comment on this:

Alexandra said:

Notice she said “partner.” I assume she’s not married.

I couldn’t have any self-respect if I were not married to my son’s father. My husband and I have been married 14 years and our son is 6.

I read that and though, “What?!”

Are you serious?

Plenty of married people refer to their spouses as their partners. And while your ‘purity’ is noted, you are no more worthy of respect (from yourself or anyone else) just because you have a legally binding contract with the person who impregnated you.

That said, the comment by Anonymous was certainly asinine, but not because she may or may not be married to her child’s father. I find your comment to be equally asinine, and the fact that you are married to your child’s father is all I know about you.

So what does that say?

She thought she could get away with cheating? No way in hell, this is bittersweet revenge.

Kudos to you and your site. May I point out the state of washingtons family laws are criminal. Having been on active duty stationed in washington, and having my wife flee with my child, I have become a subject matter expert. A year in court and over ten thousand in legal fees, for five weeks a year with my child and telephone calls (not enforced of course). I was away on a mission came back and she was gone. I filed for divorce after discovering her floundering around with other men on the internet from her home state of GA. I ended up having to defend myself in court against her ridiculous allegations. I pay close to 700 a month between child support and health insurance, and rarely do I even hear my two year old daughters voice. After many months of therapy, I think the term is “radical acceptance”. Now broke, and seemingly hopeless, I think I have fallen into the ranks of many other fathers of our GREAT society.

My ex-wife is a supporter of a fatherless nation.

Comment on Nope, Still Against Feminism. by Lottie

While I don’t necessarily agree with every point you made, I found this piece quite refreshing. Your very last paragraph sums up why.

I am my own woman. I make up my own mind about things, and I prefer do so based on facts.

What I see all too often in feminist circles are groups of women being lead around by other women. They’re being spoon-fed all kinds of garbage and they’re swallowing it without asking where it came from or what’s in it. Then anyone who comes around and asks to see the recipe or, worse, points out that there’s something toxic in it, takes a serious beating. She gets bullied right out the door for her lack of obedience and/or submission.

And they don’t see the irony…

I had identified as a feminist all my life (I’m 41) until recently when I discovered this bizarre phenomenon and no longer wanted to be associated with it. Personally, I don’t see how anyone is better off being lead around by women than by men, or how it’s even different. I’m in the process of writing a post on the subject myself and may very well link to this one.

Thanks for what you’re doing here. I’ll definitely be back.

This female supremacist view of the world that is used to motivate the more moderate women against men is sad to see.

Having said that it’s great to see someone trying to balance this warped view.

Keep it up.

@ Elsie: Okay I’ll bite. What inequalities still exist in the good old U S of A? Is it possible to achieve perfect equality of any sort? That seems like utopian idealism to me.

I am a bit late at posting this. I came across your site because I am disillusioned with Feminism too, and I was hoping to find a good argument against it. Well you really opened my eyes! What I found was a person who is completely blind to the inequalites that exist (and they do still exist, even in the good old US of A) and who, by choosing to see the world through rose-tinted spectacles, is helping to perpetuate those inequalities. I can see that you love and care about men. But your arguments are not convincing to me, it just sounds like reactionary whining.
(As a sidenote, it’s generally considered an uninspired low-blow to use the old Nazi comparison in an argument.)
