| Says this woman. | |
| I know one girl who goes as far as posting GoFundMes to help her pay rent slash bills. | |
| She got an eviction warning and at the same time buys the newest designs from certain brands which range from $200 to $400 each. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah, I mean, those malls are just sad little status cathedrals for vainglorious women. | |
| Which is, of course, not to call all women vainglorious, but malls are not about... | |
| There's not a lot of books on virtue and child raising in malls, but there is a lot of stupid shit, you know, glitter stuff and phone cases. | |
| The phone case has to tell people who I am. | |
| It's like, if you need a phone case to tell people who you are, you aren't anything. | |
| All right. | |
| Women are starting to flood the free domain. | |
| Good sign. | |
| Yes. | |
| I still feel bad for them. | |
| It really sucks to be female sometimes. | |
| You just don't get that. | |
| You deserve everything you get feeling. | |
| I don't know what that means. | |
| Steve, welcome, welcome. | |
| The new high status may soon be one's own ability to provide those hard material goods for themselves. | |
| Self-sustaining is the new rich. | |
| Well, yeah, I mean, or crypto, Bitcoin in particular. | |
| But, see, there's a funny thing that all of this status stuff, it only works if you don't name it. | |
| Status only works if it's not clearly identified. | |
| It's a funny thing, right? | |
| Because status is only considered high status if it's not revealed as pathetic, insecure vanity. | |
| Right? | |
| Pathetic, insecure vanity. | |
| And I remember learning this lesson the hard way back in the day on social media. | |
| You start talking about, you know, just something as simple as makeup, right? | |
| That makeup is... | |
| It's false advertising. | |
| Makeup is a form of sexual harassment in the workplace because makeup makes a woman look like she's just had an orgasm or she's sexually aroused. | |
| Makeup would be the equivalent of a male strapping a giant Freddie Mercury wrapped cucumber penis and having it tenting his legs as he walked around in a meeting. | |
| A giant raging throbbing oil derrick boner. | |
| Right? | |
| That would be considered sexual harassment. | |
| That would be completely weird. | |
| And for women, I'm not talking of a tiny bit of makeup or whatever, right? | |
| But for women, makeup is reproducing sexual arousal and or orgasm, right? | |
| Because a woman's lips get more red, her eyes pop, her cheeks get more flushed when she's sexually aroused, and so makeup is there to mimic sexual arousal. | |
| And when you point this out, like, women went mental. | |
| Like, sorry, like, I mean, there's some things I know are going to be upsetting for people. | |
| That one was kind of a... | |
| A real surprise for me. | |
| Because makeup only works if men don't realize that they're being manipulated by sex and orgasm signals. | |
| Right? | |
| Makeup only works that way. | |
| Makeup only works if men realize that they're being programmed to divert blood from their brain to their phallus so that they can be more easily manipulated by women. | |
| So... | |
| Tools of the trade, right? | |
| That was a makeup store I saw in a mall. | |
| It's tools of the trade, right? | |
| And so status only works if it's not identified. | |
| It only works if you buy into the status myth. | |
| But once a status myth is identified and shown to be obvious, right? | |
| That a woman with this sort of ridiculous get-ups is just signaling that she's far away from manual labor in a desperate attempt to appear aristocratic and raise her worth, right? | |
| Then it all falls apart. | |
| It all crumbles. | |
| And, of course, it's not just psychological, though it is psychological. | |
| You're taking away people's power by destroying people's illusions about their power. | |
| I take the people who say that the same people who think that politicians care for them think that the strippers love them. | |
| So when you take all of this away, then you're interfering with people's status. | |
| You're taking away their status. | |
| And you're also shifting. | |
| Potentially the movement of trillions of dollars around the world. | |
| Makeup is multi-hundred billion dollar a year industry around the world. | |
| So if the makeup myth is punctured and you say, I don't want some painted hyper-sexed kabuki clown, I want a fresh-faced, honest, virtuous woman, it's also signaling leisure time, right? | |
| So women who are very busy don't have enough time for makeup. | |
| I mean, if they're busy raising, you know, five kids, they don't really have time to do an hour of makeup every day. | |
| So women who are... | |
| It's also signaling that you don't have kids. | |
| It's signaling you have a lot of leisure time, right? | |
| Like muscles, right? | |
| Hyper muscles, right? | |
| It's a way of saying, I can spend two or three hours a day in the gym. | |
| I have a lot of leisure time, which is signaling that you're single, signaling that you're dedicated, that you're hardworking, and it's just another... | |
| So if you puncture the... | |
| The status bubble, and in particular in this case, it was the makeup bubble. | |
| If you puncture the makeup bubble and you have men see that makeup is a form of manipulating them through sexual display, right? | |
| All the women who are like, hashtag me too, right? | |
| Well, maybe stop spraying your female boner in male faces in a work environment, right? | |
| I mean, don't turn your work environment into a semi-porn shoot, right? | |
| I mean, it's just a possibility. | |
| And again, I'm not talking about a little bit of makeup. |
