To me, that article feels incredibly negative, sexist, and rooted on a men-women dynamic that assumes women are things to be conquered.
Then again, I don't know what I was expecting from a website that gives "Alpha assessments" regarding "women you are attempting to bed" and whose top post is "How to get a girl to send nudes of herself".
It's not just you that feels that way. That article is just a torrent of misogynist screed.
For example: "It’s no surprise that the virtual world warehouses sexual rejects who couldn’t cut it in public where their ugliness means they’re not even in the running. BBWs, BBBWs, BBBBBBBBBBBBWs… you’ll find them all online, beached like a herd of walrus." Or later, "Fatties – The internet is great for banging fatties."
Misogyny and a belief that women are favored aren't incompatible. If anything, they're compatible beliefs.
Antisemitism, for instance, doesn't often hold that Jews are worthless, poor, and incompetent. It tends to hold that Jews are rich and powerful and can do whatever they want thanks to their worldwide conspiracy. The antisemite usually thinks that the world disproportionately favors Jews.
> How is dating websites being lopsided in favor of women misogyny?
I did not claim that.
> The systemic use of the blanket term of misogyny in these cases seems more like misandry, to be fair.
Why?
> Why not stay on the point?
What is the point? I thought you were implying that the author believing that women were favored by dating websites was a counter to the claim that the site was a torrent of misogynistic screed. If so, I refuted that. If not, you were unclear, but if you wish to be clear about your point, I am happy to stay on it.
> You can't control of tone of Heartiste. He has the right to express his opinions, don't you think?
Absolutely, and I have the right to express opinions about his expression of his opinions. Free speech is truly a wonderful thing!
Well yes. Heartiste is a pick-up artist. He's basically built a blog (and possibly a career) around dating advice that's negative, sexist, and treats women as things to be conquered. When you read articles from PUAs like that one, it's worth bearing in mind that they're basically trying to sell you their own even scummier alternative to online dating.
I do find them a bit toxic because of the negativity. It's a phase many guys go through when they break the social conditioning of the feminine imperative.
