Have you ever heard of, or seen, the Hering Optical Illusion?
How many of you believed that the two long lines are absolutely straight? How many other people do you think would insist, on the basis of an apparent appeal to authority alone, that this is the case?
Well, it’s a fake illustration. The lines are not, in fact, absolutely straight. Here is the real one:

By the way, the vertical lines in the first image are the two that seem to radiate outward from the center, directly upwards and directly downwards. Those lines are are not found in the second image.

YES! ROISSY & GBFM covered similar in July 2012! The only thing DEREK forgot is/was to mention how BETA & typically FEMININE the ARGUMENT/OBEDIENCE from/to AUTHORITY is, BUT the aforementioned fellows who the ENTIRE ”Manosphere” is ”based” on did NOT Here

We often mischievously note here that women are more prone to herd behavior than are men. That is, on average, your typical woman is more likely to “go along to get along” than your typical man. This is why all sorts of cultural trends — from fashion to food to acceptable modes of posturing — exert stronger influences on women.
The close cousin of lemmingitis (falling in step with fads) is obedience to authority. If you are apt to align your lifestyle with whatever is the latest fashion, (and ostracize those who don’t), you are probably also apt to blindly obey high status authority figures telling you what is good for you. If true, then we might speculate that women make better cultural foot soldiers for whichever elite authority is most tangible in their lives, owing to women’s greater propensity to accept authority dictums without question.
We may add to this speculation not only personal observation and confirmatory heaps of anecdotes, but in addition scientific evidence that women are, indeed, more obedient to authority than are men. Courtesy of reader uh pointing us to this Milgram experiment replication:
Always remember: All female participants in the Milgram obedience to authority experiment continued shocking the puppy despite their tears.
Half of the men stopped.
Girls love cute things, but they love powerful authority figures even more.
I’m glad to report that, thanks to the yeoman efforts of this blog, there is a growing awareness of female nature settling firmly in the minds of Westerners (and a smattering of Finns. I kid, I kid! Sort of.) Like male nature, female nature is not all bad, nor is it elevated above men’s (it’s different than men’s, but not any less degraded). Le Chateau’s campaign to RAISE AWARENESS about women’s true nature helps bring balance to the social conditioning force, which for generations has defaulted to the side of pristine women and fallen men. This grand rectification will BEGIN THE HEALING of a society teetering on the precipice of choking to death on a morass of self-asphyxiating lies, and get more than a few men laid in the process.
We know that women are more instinctively obedient to authority, but the reason perhaps eludes those of us with less experience navigating the twat trenches. This female impulse to servitude is both an evolved moral mechanism to reinforce in-group cohesion (and thus secure resource blessings to their children) and a manifestation of their desirous attachment to alpha males, of whom the most obvious archetype are those alpha males wielding authoritarian power.
This knowledge dovetails nicely with game principles. Mystery was always fond of repeating that women are evolutionarily configured to desire “leaders of men”, (along with “protectors of loved ones” and “preselected by women”). I’d expand this axiom to include leaders of women, because the man who can corral a roomful of women to do his bidding is, in many ways, a sexier specimen to women than the man who leads a battalion of men. See, for example, any fashion photographer.
Authorities are, by definition, leaders of men and women. You, the beta male who wants more choice in women, can leverage women’s instinct to obey confident leaders to your hedonistic advantage. Try this sometime (if it is out of character for you, which will be the case, I bet, for at least 80% of my male readers):
— Order, don’t ask, a girl to do something with you. Telling her she’s coming with you to Bar A or Event X is, you will find hard not to notice, far more invigorating to her libido than asking her the same.
— If you are buying a meal or a drink for your girlfriend, choose her option and unhesitatingly order it for her. I have had girls exclaim with surprised glee how awesome it was that I caught them off-guard with this bold move. (Note: Do not default to buying shit for girls you haven’t yet fucked.)
— Spontaneous sex in dangerous places. Again, command her, don’t ask. Asking a girl to have risky sex will always get a “no” answer, which is funny because not asking will almost always get you a “yes” reaction.
— Simply command a woman to do something that makes her a little uncomfortable. Authority is best proved by the victim’s follower’s degree of submission. Tell her, for instance, to skinny dip. Or pilfer a pack of gum. Or go down on you at a movie. Or bury the body in the backyard. Or betray her feminist principles (always a laugh riot).
Ordering a girl to do something, particularly something risky, may sound like an easy proposal, but don’t be fooled: it will feel a lot more difficult than it is if you aren’t used to doing it. Couple your natural aversion with the feminist tankgrrl shrikegeist enshrouding secular societies, and it can seem quite the daunting task to the average beta bear. But the rewards, I assure you, are well worth it. The man who can tap into those ancient Phlegethon viscera coursing through women’s primal souls will have the key to untold pleasures of the penis and the heart.
Women may feel distress when they have to obey an authority telling them to do something they normally wouldn’t, but that distress is an optic fiber pipeline straight to their vaginas. When they experience the one, they inevitably experience the other. You don’t need to be an actual authority figure to trigger this female lust instinct; you just need to accurately portray such authority over the women you want to desire you. And like the accomplished actor, such portrayals will eventually lodge their way into the filament of your being, and the distinction will cease to meaningfully exist.
*If you’re interested, and you should be, here’s a Milgram experiment follow-up which found ethnic and national differences in willingness to obey authority.
Also there was MASCULINE WISDOM in the comment section (as usual)
GBFM MAXIM # 1:
A woman’s courtship value is equal or less than the lowest price she ever gave her p@ssy away for. lzozozoz
After a woman has had a one-night stand
or given her p@ssy for free
her courtship value
is 0.
or less than 0.
As why would you want to be the guy
who pays for what others got when it was younger hotter tighter
forty pounds lighter
for freeee?
lzozlzozlzzo
After a woman passes 25, whence she has generally been buttcocked numerous times and desouled, her courtship value is negative. It is the woman, who is now wired fiat bernanke cash and allowed to excel in fiat bernanke programs that drug up and dumb down boyz, who must pay the man so as to court him.
For a 25 year old multi-buttocked, desouled, bernankifed woman represents a huge risk to a man’s livelihood, his time, his conscience, his soul, his future earnings, and his general well-being. And the man must be compensated justly so as to have to court a woman over 25 who has been buttcocked and deousled and converted by the cenrta; bankerz into a vehicle of welath transfer lzozlz.
lzolzolzozozozozoz
(as usual) it was recognized as the brilliance it was too!
You guys who come here and skip over GBFM, thinking it is all just near-random noise? Yeah, go back and read the above.
Wisdom.
Indeed, wisdom. GBFM Maxim #1 is quite essential to know and understand.
Love the addition of “forty pounds lighter” to the already pithy, perfect “younger, hotter, tighter” maxim.
King A (Matthew King)on July 25, 2012 at 12:48 pm
You’re right, passingby. His comment is smart and well-said. Which makes the chaff surrounding the wheat all the more frustrating.
I’d take out the “hotter” part of the formula, (R)Evoluzione, not just because “younger” and “hotter” is generally synonymous but because it would even out the beat of the rhyme for an easy to remember jingle:
Younger, tighter,
Forty pounds lighter.
Man’s version:
Bigger, stronger,
Four inches longer.
Feminist’s version:
Older, fatter,
Screeching things that don’t matter.
Etc.
GB4M, you are a fuxing legend, man.
But, what can we do? Really. Should we go celibate or pursue high school girls?
The greatest possible heroes. Any gameboy so besotted by ideology that he can no longer recognize the most ancient form of manliness is functionally antisocial.
There is a word for the coward who seeks preservation of his life above his honor and duty, and that is: slave. The slave is defined as the one who chooses enslavement over death, which is always an available option.
Now, we can argue about what duty entails, of course. But to imagine these men died according to cryptofeminist programming, or that their act of sacrifice was some kind of ultra white knightery, is to be completely ignorant of the men who came before him and/or a coward afraid of being put to the test himself.
Up until the postmodern era, there was not a culture in the world or in history that would have excused the fecklessness of, say, Captain Francesco Schettino, and as BBG comments above, the rest is just the rationalization of pansy deficiency. (On the other hand, modern Italians may be redeemed by Fabrizio Quattrocchi.)
How warped must you pimply little boys be to translate the most recognizable of all acts of courage into just one more instantiation of feminist witchery?
Matt
Nah, it’s just that men want to die for virginal ladies, not liberated whores.
“There is a word for the coward who seeks preservation of his life above his honor and duty, and that is: slave.”
There is a word for King A: sophist.
“Up until the postmodern era, there was not a culture in the world or in history that would have excused the fecklessness of, say, Captain Francesco Schettino, ”
A captain never abandoned ship before Schettino. Never in history. Certainly not a Neapolitan, if it did ever happen. No man ever absconded, betrayed, turned coat, mutinied, robbed, sold out, or anything else before “the postmodern era”. Certainly not Italians, if any of the foregoing did happen.
“How warped must you pimply little boys be to translate the most recognizable of all acts of courage into just one more instantiation of feminist witchery?”
None of the girls was betrothed or pregnant. Three young white men gave their lives for their movie dates.
Protecting the womenfolk used to be good for group selection, like when we lived in manageable groups. Now it’s a switch that needs to be turned off.
In case people DON’T KNOW GBFM & King A (Matthew King) we’re the beginning of the ROISSYosphere’s (&) MANosphere’s CHRISTian side of dedicated bloggers & commenters in the early 2010s.
I’m not sure to what extent the Milgram experiment discredited and to what extent it has been replicated. See here. Most of the HBDers that I follow trust its general findings.
Clearly there are large numbers of NPCs who will do whatever they are told, but it’s not clear how to quantify or qualify this. Over the years I’ve found that people find comfort in letting someone else decide for them, so that they don’t have to take responsibility for their own actions. Women have naturally evolved to have limited-to-no agency, but many men also freely shed agency. I’ve written about this before.
When the churches shut their doors in 2020 at the behest of governments everywhere, we found out just how many NPCs are out there.
The ultimate irony is that we have such a crisis of expertise that it is even more important to find and utilize true experts, which itself largely requires expertise. Quite the conundrum.
