Imp doesn't suggest a global matriarchy. He maintains that the world is intensely gynocentric.
If you are going to take issue with his points, then at least represent his position correctly.
FYI it is fairly trivial to prove that the world is gynocentric. After that we are just arguing about degree.
Or do you think it was just coincidence that all the women were evacuated from the Titanic? That only men were asked to die in WWI and WWII? Who were they fighting for, do you think?
Didn't shadow banning happen not long after that?
"Why the fuck is this fence here? It is so damn old! Does anyone know what it does? Look, it is made of poorly assembled dry stone, and there are gaps in it. I can see one from here! Wait, is that section of the fence a hedgerow? It is totally shit! Look, I can't see any reason for this fence, so we should just tear it down."
Later:
"What do you mean that the fence was an important boundary marker? Holy shit was it a reference point for an entire system of surveying markers? It marked the borders of a nation? Why didn't anyone tell me it was important!"
Why would any coke dealer cut his garbage with fentanyl?
Why don't you ask River Phoenix? That was probably a good old-fashioned Speed Ball.
Saint Floyd was probably hopped up on a Goofball, which is meth and fentanyl.
I don't know why Speed Balls are popular, but they seem to have fans.
Tony, right now many mothers are manifestly unfit. Why do you presume fitness for women but not for men? Do you want to think about that or a minute?

Women who filed for divorce usually felt confident that they could keep their children.
“The question of custody swamps other variables,” find professors Margaret Biring and Douglas Willen in their article, “These Boots are Made for Walking: Why Most Divorce Filers are Women.”
“Our study found that children are the most important asset in a marriage and the partner who expects to get custody is by far the one most likely to file for divorce.”
You are assuming that men who knock up a girl and disappear are a major problem; that just isn't true Tony. Today no woman has to get pregnant or carry a baby if she doesn't want to do that. The reality is that every woman today who has a baby chooses to do that.
Most of the children that are born are born into some kind of relationship. It is very rare that the father doesn't live with the children, at least for a time. Women initiate separation and divorce, and they do it in the sure confidence that they can and will keep the children, and access to the man's income.
Go and talk to some male divorcees. You must know some! One of the worst divorce horror stories I ever heard was from a gay guy. His wife spent more than two years planning the breakup, and she took him for everything. She was fucking furious that he had married her while in deep denial. She went so far as to hook up with his business partner, then with her half of his share plus the business partners share, they shut him out of the business, with a minor interest and made sure he could not get paid. He never saw his kids again. These are not unusual stories.
My ex has been caught twice by Family Services, coaching my daughter to say that she never wants to see me again. The court social-workers know this, and were still sympathetic to her on every occasion. She will never face any consequences for what she has done. This is standard. I actually got away as well as any man I know.
Even if we adopted the changes that I proposed, that men get custody by default, there would be many, many cases of shared custody. Men honestly want to make women happy.
If you are going to play an out-of-print version play the Rules Cyclopedia, which is what eventually became of the Basic, Expert, Companion & Advanced Box sets. It is generally a simpler and more refined version of rules than AD&D 1st or 2nd Edition.
3.5 was fine, but there are better fantasy RPG settings and rules. Personally, I'd rather play EarthDawn.
It is almost certainly available on the high seas, if you go looking.

Women keep the kids in 80% of breakups.
Who decides who gets the kids?
If the women initiates the breakup, then she takes the kids before the father gets home, or similar.
The courts almost never ever take the children from one parent and give them to the other. Therefore the party with the kids wins by default.
You paint a rather bad picture. But if we agree that this is bad, why can it also not be bad for there to be no child support so deadbeats can just go around having kids without lifting a finger to support them in any way?
Women have every control over bearing a child or not. Men do not have reproductive rights past the initial decision to have intercourse or not. If birth control should fail, or should the woman lie about it, then he has no further say in if he should be a father or how much and when he should pay.
You want a solution? Fine. The fathers get custody in every case of dispute. So, men don't control womens' bodies (to force an abortion etc) but they can't profit from the children either.
After that, leave it to negotiation between couples.
Tony, where I live women get paid more the less the father sees the child.
Want to guess on the outcome of that? I'll give you a hint: I've twice had to defend myself from accusations of being a child molester, both made by the same person. Both thrown out of court for having no evidence of any kind. This is a technique that is called "The Silver Bullet" in the USA. Hitting a guy with both a child custody and criminal prosecution at the same time. Women literally teach it to each other in internet forums. Well, it failed the first time (thought it took two years to beat) and the second time was to punish me for asking to see my daughter more. My experience is far from unusual. One conversation with any family lawyer in the field will paint a really consistent picture of the realities.
Women keep the kids in 80% of breakups. If she does keep the children, she is entitled to more of the assets of the union. Here, with two kids she can claim 80% of the assets in a property settlement, plus child support (which is highest if the father has no shared custody) plus she becomes entitled to a government pension until the youngest of the children turn thirteen. Women weaponize the sympathetic court system to get paid. These are facts.
If women want mens' money, then they should negotiate for it. You want no fault divorce? Fine, it shouldn't come bundled with indentured servitude at the threat of jail time (in the USA). Men should be able to negotiate.
If a woman can't solely support the kids, then she should share custody or (gasp) let them be with their dad, who can certainly support them in almost every case. Remember that the Dad's parents probably want to see their grandkids. They can offer help and support, if they want. Right now they are almost entirely cut out.
Your idea that men would walk away and let their kids starve... Holy fuck. Even in the distant past, before this awful situation, that was rare. Mostly what happened was fathers raised their kids, after proving that the mother was at fault for the divorce. If the man was shown to be at fault, then they had to pay.
For a raging faggot you sure are a god damned simp.
Why are you conflating "unicorn" with "unique"?
There are a very, very few female MRAs. There are literally billions of women. Is that rare and special enough for you?
When you say "Respect is earned"; well that doesn't apply to women, especially young women. A woman's maximum social value is when they are about 19, and they get it specifically for what is in their pants. Men are literally disposable, and continue to be disposable until they demonstrate they can provide resources. Being a man is demonstrative, like being a writer or being a cook. Being a woman isn't. It is a fundamental difference.
The Women are Wonderful Effect is the in-grouping tendency of women versus men. It has a Wikipedia entry. It is a major reason that women dominated workplaces and industries are fucking awful to work in.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women-are-wonderful_effect
It has major effects on ... basically everything. It is a major reason that women don't have to earn respect.

Wow. Three? Gosh! I guess the problems are solved! Take that Billions of Women!
I'll just sit here and wait for the respect for my efforts as a great father. Any minute now!

Chameleons look like unicorns; but they are not.
What made it significant was that the outrage and letters sent by core gamergate got lots of traction with pro ad-agencies and brand managers.
Gaming was a safe, brand friendly way to advertise to a core demographic: Men between 25 and 45 with high disposable income of all political persuasions. After GG Gaming was politically fraught and advertising in one space or another could absolutely damage a brand.
This lead to advertisers asking for a lot more control over where their advertising was being shown; and the advertisers cut out all gaming advertising until things settled down and they understood what was going on.
Yep! This was the Adpocilypse. It completely gutted "native advertising" on YouTube, which was worth hundreds of millions to the market. I am sure about two AAA games flopped because of this.
The knock on effects of the permanent change in the advertising rate for the entire gaming press has sunk two major gaming publishing empires, and slashed the wages of all the gaming writers.
The Gaming Press got together and told gamers how much they hate us; Gamers responded by ending hundreds of millions of dollars of gaming publications.
It left a mark.
Or he is pretty fucking tired of being disposable and without any other value than his wallet to literally half of the population. I am not here to be extracted for cash. I am a person, and I am deserving of as much respect as any woman.
Men are called on to fight and die to protect women and children. Women (on average) produce no net tax over their lifetimes. Every single thing you can see was built by a man. The lights stay on, homes stay standing and roads work because there are men out there making sure that it all happens; basically because we want to please women. By myself I'd probably be pretty happy in a hammock eating chili mud-crabs and playing a tabletop RPG, but I have daughters to support.
You know Tony, sometimes I wish I was a massive faggot like you, with a craving for twinks or BBC. Then at least I would be affected by the disdain society has for men. Men spend their whole lives trying to win the respect of and please women, who are biologically wired to under-value us.
For supporting evidence see:

- The Sentencing Gap
- Resources for Male Victims of Abuse (or lack thereof)
- Any given divorce settlement

- Any number of simps trying to buy affection

I read what you wrote. Did you read what I wrote? Want me to read it out loud to you? Or perhaps just help you with the big words?
I pointed out that our gynocentric society has revoked the social contract that is the foundation of western marriage and as a result the incentives for the majority of men to participate in marriage is at an all time low. The risk/reward is just shockingly bad for men.
If you are not aware, social competition between males for the privilege of breeding has been literally the primary driving force of civilization. Males compete with each other to provide resources to women in return for fidelity and knowing that their genes are being passed on. Historically that has been about 50% of males that get to have kids, and the rest don't.
One of the huge advantages of western society is that the social contract that sees enforced monogamy between partners (there are real consequences for cheating if you get caught) was singularly effective in increasing participation in society by young males; encouraging them to work hard and compete, because they had an excellent chance of securing a mate.
Well, now they don't. Women surf Tinder and order home delivered one-night-stands from a small percentage of the male population. Women attend college and fuck dozens of guys, and don't settle down. Even just four partners a year between the ages of 18 and 30 is 50 sexual partners. That is vastly more than I've ever had, and I am older than 30 by quite a bit.
AFAIK, the demographic for women with highest chance of being married for life is zero sexual partners before marriage and strong church attendance. Met any of those? Ever?
So young men can't find a high quality female to marry; All of them are standing line for a night with Chad or Tyrone. Chad and Tyrone are not willing to marry because they have a long line of willing partners. If a man is willing to pick up some left overs at 30 or so, his risks of utter financial and relationship catastrophe are very high, and there is basically no effective way to mitigate these risks. This situation eclipses the '[fear] ... that [the man] will never be able to adequately provide for them."
Lol. Provide? You mean after she decides to take the kids, the house and his wages too?
How old are you guy? Do you have any male friends with divorce stories? How many of them made it out without having to sleep in their car while they hand over their wages or go to prison? How does that song go?
Eighteen years, eighteen years ; She got one of your kids, got you for eighteen years
Show me a single, female college graduate between 30 and 35, and I'll show you a woman with a body count in the hundreds who is finding out that this is her last chance to settle for the best sperm donor she can get.
Frosk Scripted it. It was put on her teleprompter by a producer. The director shot it. It was edited and aired.
Nothing, not a single thing about this wasn't planed to the smallest detail. After it was produced, directed and recorded, the producers could have kept it in edit until it reflected exactly the message that they wanted; or just scrapped the scene.
"Whops! Total accident! That darn Frosk!"
Not credible. Not even a little bit.
This is exactly what happened / is happening in Venezuela. The Bolivar is worthless, so the daughters do anything they can to get black market US$ from tourists, including sailors.

Female fertility drops by about 50% each year after roughly 32. There is a really good reason for women to get married in their 20s; Kids.
A woman who gets married at 32 will have zero or perhaps one child.
Women can delay responsibility all they want; but at some point they just miss out. This is not quite so true for men. I promise that many ladies in Argentina, Poland or the Philippines are just fine with an older man.
"This month's Muslim Lesbians Club meeting moved to rooftop."
I have friends who were on the forefront of electronic manufacturing since the early 2000s. One of the things they have been consistent about is that outsourcing to China gets all of your IP stolen. The CCP will pressure your company to pick a local partner company, then train them up to do the work. They will be running knock-off copies out the back door using the same skills, equipment and training that you have paid for.
Outsourcing to India is worse, but for different reasons. The factory in India explained that they had to buy parts from a certain supplier, because they had a relationship with them. When it was pointed out that the parts were stub-standard, did not pass QC and would require the entire production run to be scrapped, the Indians basically didn't care. They would rather maintain their relationships and get their kickbacks than do useful work.
South America has been much better. Mexico is okay, as long as it is close enough to the border.
All of these extended supply chains are going to fall into a screaming heap if the price of diesel fuel keeps going up. Saving three dollars on a part is useless if shipping costs seven dollars.
