So on page four of Men Who Hate Women, Laura Bates, we read about the whole situation where she pretty much went in and infiltrated an entire incel community over back in, like, 2020 this book was written.
And so she did this in that timeframe and back when the red pills were all blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Um, she went undercover, basically pretended to be a guy and- One of the first things that she saw was, mm, reasons to legalize graping, right? You know, like ...
Okay.
Um, and then it was just, like, disturbing, so I actually had to take a break.
That's why I'm only on page four right now.
So here we go.
In the mid-1990s, according to Laura Bates in the book Men Who Hate Women, long before the advent of dating apps, Facebook, or even MySpace, a young Canadian woman known as Alana started a simple website.
Alana was in her mid-20s and struggling to find love.
Hurt by lonely virgin jokes and convinced she couldn't be the only one feeling this way, she started a mailing list and began posting articles to the website she called Alana's Involuntary Celibacy Project.
Okay, remember, this was published back in 2020, so we're kind of getting a glimpse of back in the day.
Over time, the project grew into a small and generally supportive online community where men and women shared their fears, frustrations, and unhappiness.
Gradually, Alana started having more success with dating and drifted away from the community she had started, no longer wanting to focus on her former lack of romantic success.
Cool, and if you have any questions or any comments or any complaints, please put them in the co- in the comments.
I will read them later on.
I'm able to access the comments after it's all over on both, um, on all of, well, not both, but all of the lives that I'm on right now.
It's more than just one.
Anyway, ugh, let's see.
Sorry, 'cause if I start reading comments, then I get distracted from the reading of the book, so I'm just gonna focus on the book.
Thanks.
But I will read them later, so thank you.
