A very smart and attractive female friend of mine is going through a lot of emotional and psychological pain now. She has recently been reading articles on Return of Kings about women. She saw the many things said about women there such as they should be controlled by men, they should not have jobs and they should be beaten. Also, her brother told her once that she should not play sports, video games or do anything that a "man would do". Now she is depressed and she said she now hates being a woman. What should I do and what do you all have to say about this?

Ohhhh boyyyyy

My butt itches.

Be generally supportive. Don't be a dick to her.

That said, don't make other people's burdens your problem unless you already have some solutions. Asking a BBS for answers means that you shouldn't get too involved. You're not a therapist, you're her friend. Act like one.

And why the fuck did you bring up the fact that she's attractive? Are you trying to get with her or something? Acting like a friend to a lady hoping for romance is kind of... shady.

That's weird because all of the women I know who like videogames and other cool stuff are taken. If someone could send all of these horribly unwanted videogame-loving women my way, I would be very appreciative. Any of the weird ones who have personalities and like things that aren't Facebook. Or ones who have hobbies that aren't watching Netflix.

There's not much we can do here. What I would suggest is just being there for her and comforting her when she's upset.

Just be a friend to her and tell her to quit reading that crap. Literally all you have to do is be a good friend. Be a better influence than her brother is. And in case you have some kinda romantic interest in her, set that aside for now.

Be a decent human being. Show her support and just generally be a friend to her. Make sure to treat her as a person, not as a 'girl' in particular.

Why was she even reading what is essentially the Stormfront for sexists instead of racists, anyway?

Tell her to stop reading daesh propaganda and learn the art of Bokuto Shinken.

It sounds to me like you're trying to exploit this woman's vulnerability, but I'll give you benefit of the doubt. Okay, I won't do that for you, so I'll just say this. Back when I was in high school, I one time exploited this chick's vulnerability cause I was an asshole. We became friends and I felt like a piece of shit. Eventually she started coming on to me, and because of the fact I was drowning in guilt, I had to tell her that I don't want to be friends anymore and that everything was a lie. I never got my dick wet.

It's not worth it to exploit other people unless they're homeless.

Also, there's a word for people like her brother: asshole.

Those two things don't go together.

Hates being a woman.. Inform her that she'll never have a penis so dont bother and get over it. Or buy her a strapon with a tube in it so she can pee her name.

Stopped right there.

Nice lie, bruh.

I guess giving here the dick would just demoralize her more hmm. You should probably buy here tickets to opera, that solves everything then give her the dick.

Throw her into the fires of Mt. Doom!

The last thing you should fucking do is go onto Return of Kings. The fuck? Everyone should know better.

Because if she wasn't smart or attractive none of the rest of that would matter? Only smart and attractive females matter? Is that what you're saying? Because if not, that's certainly what the typical reader will think you're implying considering neither aspects had anything to do whatsoever with any of the rest of the story.

I know, right? Can't wait to sink my teeth into yet another emotionally-needy trainwreck of a woman (because they're oh so rare) and steer her life on course so I can play tag along to her miserable self-inflicted daily drama so I can achieve the "friend zone" because she's "smart and attractive" and "totally worth it"? Except ... no way in hell! ROFL. Best advice when dealing with emotionally unstable women is to know when to cut your losses.

It's a bit harder to find interesting women who actually have cool hobbies and aren't just vapid airheads. I recommend alternative women. Not only are they sexy as hell but they tend to have good taste in music, movies, books, etc... and on top of that they tend to be more open-minded *and* tend not to have any religious hang-ups. In other words, the whole package deal -- looks *and* personality. Many of them are gamers -- if in doubt, video game-themed tattoos are usually a dead giveaway.

I may be a bit biased in this recommendation as this happens to be the exact kind of girls I tend to go for. Where to find them? Music concerts, bars, clubs, bookstores, indie coffee shops, indie restaurants, thrift stores, and if there's any really eccentric kinds of stores nearby, definitely try there. There tend to be very specific places. There's also a better than average chance you can find them in porn shops though whether you have the confidence to approach women in porn shops is another matter entirely. It definitely can be done.

My advice to OP though -- as much as you might want to help this person, it's better to let her make up her own mind. Let's say you convince her this whatever garbage she's reading is a load of crap. Well, then she'll just jump straight to some other garbage then, etc... Do you want to literally be there 24/7 for whatever mental breakdown she has just to comfort her and where you get nothing out of the arrangement? Because that's sort of what you're setting yourself up for.

99% of the time, they're there with their boyfriend.

And I avoid thrift stores because jehovah's witnesses tend to congregate there.

You can buy porn? It's all free on the Internet, man.

Make her grab your cock.

Eh, I don't really find this to be the case. Lots of times they're just by themselves or they're with other girls or they're with their kid(s) (lots of single moms out there). Funny about the boyfriend and/or husband cases though -- I've had it happen where women are overly flirtatious with me despite their husband being *right there*. We're talking the dude is so completely whipped that the wife just goes about trying to pick up men right in front of the guy, and he doesn't speak up about it or try to stop it or do anything about it but just kind of sulks and takes it. I should note that I reject these sorts of advances but what I'm saying is "they're there with their boyfriend" doesn't necessarily mean she's not also looking for more.

Must be a regional thing. They don't do that here. Of course we have all the extra crazy religious people here, who you'll find on the street corners berating people and/or sometimes they'll run up and bear hug you and start calling you "brother" and "friend" and I'll be like "I don't know you." Then they follow you around and then it's not too long they reveal they're in some crazy local cult which they won't shut up about and they try to get you to join them to which the only answer they'll accept is if you already belong to some other church, so the "correct answer" is to just BS and tell them some random church.

Can't say I've ever had that particular problem at thrift stores though. Just walking around in the city? Yes. Jehovah's Witnesses? No. Crazy local cults that meet up in run-down repurposed warehouses? Yes. I also know of at least one cult camp compound still operating in the area and no one seems to leave there except occasionally one person will come or go, but no one else in the entire huge camp. I assume it's to fetch necessary living items such as food for the entire camp. And there's also been other cult camps that have been broken up because they ran afoul of various laws, although some of that operates more in secret now.

You can buy porn? It's all free on the Internet, man.

Well, yes and no. It's free if you can find it, and probably in shitty quality, and if you want to wait around all day, and if your download doesn't cut off, and if you even get whatever it was it was supposed to be and not literally anything else falsely renamed and so on and so forth.

You might not find anything you want in a porn store, but if you find something you do want, at least you can be pretty sure it is what it says on the box, that it'll be in good quality (unless the disc is just all scratched up or defective), you get it immediately, and there's no risk you might have accidentally gotten something you really really don't want, unlike with P2P or torrents.

-----------------------------

To the OP though, hopefully your female friend comes to realize what she's reading is biased and doesn't reflect general consensus, but even if not, there's not a lot you can do about it. And there's absolutely nothing you should do about it -- you shouldn't subject yourself to her arbitrary emotional whims. You shouldn't let her use you like that. Separate yourself from that arrangement.

Tell her it's possible for her to think for herself and disagree. Also tell her to stop being so damn weak minded and juvenile.

With other girls is pretty much just as bad. It makes it nigh-impossible to approach them and they're much less likely to hear you out if you do.

or they're with their kid(s) (lots of single moms out there).

And I'd feel funny about trying to ask out a woman in front of her kids.

If a random person tried to hug me, their face would become familiar with my fist real quick. I really couldn't care less about someone's cult whose members include Mr. Hugs and his cousin.

I've downloaded a lot of different things and none of this has ever happened from a legitimate tracker. Most of it is also pretty fast, too, unless you're looking for something really obscure. Even then, the problem can be solved by using a private tracker.

That simply doesn't happen with anything mainstream. Looking for an obscure program or book? Then you'll have some trouble. Chances are that nobody else cares about it enough to upload it. Looking for a movie or game? It's out there in perfect quality.

Really? I've been on dates with multiple women at the same time before that I've met like that and they were cool with it. I don't find it to be intimidating. If anything, if they're both single, then they're both available, and if they're open-minded just about anything is possible. And if they're closed-minded I don't really care to be with closed-minded people anyway.

Oh, it definitely happens and people have gone to jail because of it too. There's been cases where someone was downloading, for example, "Girls Gone Wild", which is pretty well-known and mainstream stuff -- used to be advertised on TV all the time in the early 2000s, and turned out to definitely *not* be that at all, but instead turned out to be some very bad very illegal stuff. Anyone can give a download any name or label they like. If you choose to download it, you're trusting it is what it says it is, which it may not be.

You just don't have that risk if you buy from a legitimate store.

It really just boils down to not being a retard. You should use a legitimate tracker. Just searching "Girls Gone Wild torrent" and clicking the first link you see is equivalent to searching "gun" on Craigslist and sending your home address to the first person you find.

Lol. Except nothing I've said has ever been a lie except in the few cases where I'm clearly joking.

Don't believe what I say if you wish, but it's at your own folly. I don't lie. I don't have any reason to lie.

Just because you can't manage something doesn't mean no one can. I guess I'm just smoother and more confident than you. You say how you can't find available women and I'm saying how you're overlooking a lot of the available women who are out there.
