Good stuff here. I was ready to disagree with "the Longhouse generates incels" but there's not actually much here I object to. "Longhouse" is also a pretty brilliant framing inasmuch as it explicitly avoids the temptation to blame everything on third wave feminism which is both the big trap you're getting at and fails to explain why the described behavior patterns persists beyond just the deep lefty girls. Even the title's the kind of goofy thing I'd come up with too.

Also delighted to see my ancient three-lines post make a return.

Interesting. Had I read this 30-35 years ago perhaps things would have been different. I grew up deep blue, actually bought the whole progressive line hook and sinker a long time ago, and detoured through PUA when I finally started in my late twenties, then stopped reading them when they went full Nazi.

Ah well, maybe you'll help the next generation. :)
