Politics isn’t the only area in which strange bedfellows are made. One can say the same thing about poker as its unique characteristics have proved alluring for presidents, plumbers, starlets, professors, and even common criminals. Author, and noted poker authority, Ed Miller is none of the above, but he is one of the more intelligent and industrious individuals associated with the game. Personally, I am quite familiar with his books, and my keen appreciation of them led me to interview him last month. He came off as a bright and enthusiastic man, and I am sure many a rounder found our conversation enlightening, but it seems that his wife did not. The young lady posted a blog on her website in which she took exception to one of my questions concerning her husband’s appearance on the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy[1] television show. Normally I would not trouble readers with such mundane matters but Mrs. Miller’s criticism provides me with a nice opportunity in which to excoriate the notion of the radical feminist wife.
Before going any further, I must note that her name isn’t actually “Mrs. Miller.” Predictably, this former Woman’s Studies major refused to change her name after marriage, and even gloated in a post about her plans to name her kids something other than Miller. Those paragraphs were quite amusing and I’d love to quote from them, but I cannot as they were deleted over the summer after causing her husband considerable embarrassment. At any rate, due to her aversion to abandoning her maiden name along with a stated desire to become famous, I will not refer to her by anything other than Mrs. Miller here.
What really “got her goat” was that she found my query about Mr. Miller’s stint on the little screen to be homophobic. She also thought that it would have been unwise for her husband to turn down any type of free publicity.[2] Homophobic? Let’s take a look at exactly what I said:
Allow me to ask you a final, non-poker related question. Your bio mentions that you appeared on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, where “the Fab Five transformed [you] into a hip, clean cut television personality with Buddy Holly glasses.” I cannot help but ask, why would you do that show? Who cares about fashion and being trendy? It seems to me that with your physics background, work at Microsoft, brilliance at poker, and voluminous publications you’d be a continent above that stuff.
Well, how can I deny her accusation? The type of anti-gay hate I spewed was worthy of the Marquess of Queensbury. All kidding aside though, as the reader can see, there was nothing homophobic[3] about those sentences; nothing whatsoever, which is precisely why political correctness is so vile. Nowadays, when one questions a gay person it means you question all gay persons which is exactly the same anti-intellectual response issued when after one questions a woman. Here, the connection is even more tenuous as I questioned a straight man’s interest in fashion which really doesn’t have much to do with gay people at all, but, if it did, it would only be wondering about a gay person’s hobbies rather than their sexual orientation. That makes no difference though as the charge of homophobia comes without evidentiary requirements. Such mental impoverishment is what happens when one wastes the best years of their lives in a Woman’s Studies’ curriculum. Of course, the same could be said of many other majors within today’s politicized and corrupted liberal arts programs. Its graduates never learn how to think and never learn how to argue. They see something they disagree with, and condemn rather than consider it. They then call it a name and get on with the serious business of being perpetually confused about life.
Most importantly, it is the person who regards all gay people as being concerned with superficial things like fashion who is the real “hater.” These are the persons who embody intolerance. Just as one can be put off by the heterosexuals who starred in Friends without being put off by heterosexuals in general, one’s lack of esteem for the hosts of Queer Eye does not automatically translate into their having negative feelings about all homosexuals. Furthermore, shallow and frivolous people can be found within every demographic grouping within our society.
Mrs. Miller isn’t concerned with such nuances, however. Like every other radical feminist, she is all too eager to start a fracas over any slight even if it is hallucinatory in nature. The motto for her website is that she has been “generating resentment since 1976” which is presumably the year of her birth. Perhaps she would do well to consider that alienating people is not a productive strategy for negotiating the terrain of life, but it is doubtful she will. Marrying a good earner has provided her with an impregnable fortress from which to launch attacks upon the general population.
One feels tremendous sympathy for the husbands of such women. Much like Frodo on his way to Mordor these girls come into your life bearing great evil. In Mrs. Miller’s case, she brags in a separate post of creating a riff between her husband and his employer which caused them to break off relations, and brought about a cross-country move.[4] I think the old cliché about a good woman benefiting a man’s rise is quite accurate as is its converse. For the man who has laid his future in the hands of a radical feminist, endgame is always right around the corner. That he’s finished cannot be doubted, whether his demise comes this year or the next is irrelevant. There will never be any quarter as he’ll be invariably demeaned, criticized, humiliated or beaten to death. Mrs. Miller has let her husband know that things will be different, however, as she has previously mentioned: “[S]ometimes I wonder if we did the right thing. Sometimes I just think I’m not the marrying type, like this wasn’t designed with me in mind.” Great! In another post, she she celebrates herself as being an expert on getting fired, and also mentions the fact that she dropped out of school shortly after meeting her beau. All I can say in response to this is: Prognosis Negative. Facts like these would even turn Tony Robbins into a pessimist.
Unfortunately, there’s no way to get out of the quagmire after saying “I do” to a feminista because any thing you say will be discounted due to their ironclad belief in male inferiority. Their narcissism knows no bounds and will be apparent to everyone except for themselves. Luckily, Mrs. Miller is aware of this, and shudders of the thought that she might not be as special as she once presumed:
Too often I find myself focusing on myself and my life, looking down a tunnel at all the tragedies and horrors that have passed and have yet to pass. I become solipsistic and narrow-minded…Sometimes the realization that my life might be insignificant strikes me as particularly sad and horrific.
It is rather peculiar, but the true kryptonite for these women is the realization that they’re infallible and mortal just like everybody else. Rather than be horrified, they would do well to embrace the fact that they are one among many. This would purge them of their feminist false consciousness while bringing about the realization that who we are is a reflection of who we are, rather than a product of what does or what does not swing from our legs.
What is optimal is to avoid all dealings, particularly intimate ones, with the radical feminist. If one encounters a very attractive specimen and feels that they cannot resist temptation then they should wear earplugs for a few dates (or minutes) until the act of coitus is reached. Then, seconds afterward, it is recommended for the man to enact a scripted melodrama of his own. He should turn sorrowful and whine like Woody Allen over the way that the little Dworkinite has used them for sex. He should state how vulnerable he feels and passionately quiver, “Was I good enough for you? Oh, you probably don’t even care. I’m just a notch on your Louis Vuitton bag.” He then should become dejected, put on his clothes, and skate—forever. The last thing he should ever do is marry one these characters because that’s a death sentence.

Wonderfull Assessment!
In my youth I married such a beast, thinking all the bluster and strident effort at defining ones gender charactor was something approaching integrity and adult responsibility. I was wrong. It was nothing more than self justified petulance and assumption of selfwonderfulness and assignation of each and every fault and deviation from perfection to the male. Feminism is nothing more than cloaked infantilismwrapped in a responsible-appearing veneer. Look at all those proposing it. Theyre either absolutely anti-male or if not completely so remain arrogantly kept by them, curiously pleased with their parasitism and their ever increaing infantile demands for power without any actual responsibility. Feminism is about unearned attainment of power, undeserved prestigue and unquenchable bitterness at being born a women. There is an excellent reason why there has never been a civilization of any success or longevity run on the premises and desires of women. They are not as a group built to regard reality in the broader sense, and are far more vulnerable in their preference for fantastic and unrealistic solutions to earthly problems. ANy efforts to redifine these qualities to something more responsible are doomed to failure, as is any attempt for a reasonable man to maintian his integrity in a household run buy a perpetually destructive and ungrateful child.
Your friend better start putting a little something away for the rainy day…

I, too, was married to such a beast in my youth. We were married for seven years before I saw the light and dumped her. Thankfully, we didn’t have any children, so I was able to leave her in my rear-view mirror and I never looked back. Today, I am happily married to a beautiful, intelligent, respectful, lusty Filipina. I would never even consider another relationship with a westernized woman again.

I married a feminist but had no idea that on our wedding day she was a feminist.
I have spent the last two years serving as a “warning label” for marriage to feminists. At first many did not listen, yet after some practice the evidence and facts sell themselves.
I have little desire to change the divorce system or people’s feministic views (Chicago is one stronghold), however, it is fair that men are aware of the risks of marring a feminist.
A Cigarette package has a warning label because smoking cigarettes may lead to cancer then death, marriage to a feminist may also lead to a painful and expensive death of relationships.
In America marriage is the number cause of divorce.

**So I Married a Radical Feminist.**
Sucks to be you!
Joking aside, I believe that getting married to anyone right now is a big mistake. I don’t plan of getting rip-off because my “Better Half” chose to look elsewhere.
Posted on January 16th, 2007 at 11:29 am
Iv’e been divorced for 15 years now. Have dated again since then and have settled upon the conclusion that I will never date another American princess again. I have been with a Chinese lady for some time now and will never even consider dating an American girl again.

Foreign women are more fun. American women, western women generally, are a BIG LIABILITY. They are selfish, angry, depressed. I say to these women: “marinate in your selfishness, your anger and hate, your depression-I don’t give a fig.”
The following is an email on AngryHarry’s site with his reply. Seems more and more men are getting the message that this poor bastard who married the feminist never got:
Young man gives up, …
Hi AH, I have recently discovered your site and find your articles intelligently put together and consistent with areas of science and research I have spent time researching myself.
I find your article titled Men Behaving Badly - Why? particularly interesting, bacause I see it going on all the time, with people I know and I am also a good example of it.
My story: Im 25 yrs old, I have felt discriminated against as a male for as long as I can remember, and my relationships with women have been nothing but hassle and pain, due to the way women are taught and socially programmed to behave by society and the media.
Having seen countless examples of male friends and other men I know have their lives destroyed by women, financially and emotionally and nobody caring at all, I have given up on relationships with women.
Yes, thats right, at 25 yrs old I will never marry or even date a women in this country (uk) again, my attitudes in life have completely changed over the last few years from being one of a very friendly, hardworking person, to being completely self centered, and I dont apologise for it, I feel its pointless to behave in a way that is politically correct, because you have little to gain and everything to lose. Having contemplated suicide on several occasions, my atitudes have now changed and I choose to stay alive, but these days I work only part time, and have no intention of contributing anymore to society, i will not support any woman or do anything to help anyone or society if I dont have to, I spend all my time with many hobbies, interests and sports that I enjoy so much, and I engage in sex tourism on an annual basis.
This is of course due to feminism and they way men are treated today, I am merely doing what women already have the freedom to do with the support of society. What you may find interesting is I am happier this way and I enjoy life, why wouldn’t I? - given the way society treats men.
Feminism is so incredibly destructive to society, men and also to women, and unless things change, it will be in mens interest to behave in a way that is detrimental society if they want to live happy fulfilling lives.
Keep up the good work

Hello M
Correct!
You are very wise to do what you are doing. And there are now many thousands of men like you who have decided to devote their time simply to pursuing whatever they feel like pursuing. They take no responsibility for anyone else and they certainly have no intention of hitching up with a woman for anything but the most casual of contacts.
And instead of working their backsides off in order to make themselves more suitable and more attractive in the sphere of marriage and children, they are simply enjoying themselves, pursuing their own interests, and taking things easy.
And, from what I can gather, they seem to be much, much happier than are those who are lumbered with the unending demands of some woman with whom they are supposed to be having a ‘close’ relationship.
And why should men spend so much of their time working when some 50% (**not** 35%) of what they earn is going to be taken away from them - by force - in order to fund a horde of self-serving crooks in government - crooks who will use much of that money to make matters even worse for them.
There are a lot of men floating around this website who subscribe to the MGTOW (men going their own way) groups that are found hither and thither, and, judging by what I have read, it seems that once you have thrown off the idea that you ‘need’ a woman, or that you ’should’ have one, it does not take long before you begin to appreciate just how liberating this can be.
Indeed, I remember one fellow (on SYG) describing how he used to spend hundreds of hours - and a good deal of money - trying to find himself a decent woman - nightclubs, parties, internet dating, socialising; and so on - as well as nice clothes, haircuts etc - but that he had given all of this up when he lost his job and had to take up another job with only half the pay. Before long, however, he discovered that he had much more time to pursue his real interests in life and that - without all the socialising, womanising etc- he actually did not need very much money to live a life that made him much happier than he was before!
And one of the things that he now enjoys doing with his time is taking on those wicked scumbags who are causing all the problems - i.e. he has become another Angry Harry!
LOL!
On a more serious note; if you read the stuff on this website you will discover that the government and the feminists pour huge amounts of money, energy, and resources into schemes and ideas that will promote the breakdown of people’s close relationships and that will also make **all** relationships more insecure while, at the same time, doing their best to stir up hatred between men and women.
These people are the enemies of men. They really are. (They are the enemies of women too, but most of these are too busy wallowing in their so-called ‘empowerment’ to recognise what is going on.) And so I hope that while you are enjoying your liberation from western women, you will also devote some of your time to attacking these people and undermining them.
Best wishes
Harry

Bernie!…..I love the Woody Allen schtick!!! Simply great. Guys should be required to have a class either in their last year of high school or first year of college that have them memorize and personalize that line exactly!! I’m still laughing at the imagined look that woman would have today when faced with those words…
…I just can’t get the smile off my face, great job!

[...] Well, now I have an excellent example of exactly such a miserable job. Someone named Bernard Chapin (also known in Poker World as ChicagoY) has seen fit to publish a piece deriding my son and daughter-in-law on a website called mensnewsdaily.com http://mensnewsdaily.com/2007/01/16/so-i-married-a-radical-feminist/. He has taken material derived from an interview with my son and gleaned from the archives of Poker World, interpreted his incomplete information–and gotten it all wrong. [...]

You notice how she says not all feminists agree with Dworkin. But yet she does nothing to refute any of Dworkins claims. Does she write letters to the MSM (not that they would publish them anyway). Does she villify NOW for not refuting any of Dworkins claims. Does she not realise by calling herself a femminist that encompasses all femminists. A group of wimmin spoke for all femminists fourty years ago.They made the decision for all wimmin. The manifesto so to speak. Since wimmin like this loon do nothing to publicly refute it. It makes them as bad or if not worse. Allows them to use feminisim when it suits them and when it doesn’t c’est la vie. North American wimmin truly are the most selfish, pathetic, over induldged species on the planet. I’m now waiting for the “you just want a submissive Asian” retort. What a maroon.

I suppose I’m jaded from having to deal with leftists and feminists so often for the last five years but find it amusing as to how seriously some people take themselves. One longs to say, “You’re just a person, not a church.” As to any misrepresentations, I had none, but if Mr. Miller is of the exact same mindset as his wife then I feel very sorry for him as he’s surrounded by drama queens. Either way, the article wasn’t written for him but for those who might up the same way. A cautionary tale as it were. Oh, hey fellows, before I forget, thanks for reading.

It ain’t just the American woman. Its an international virus that recognises no borders. It is spreading like a plague, except WHO cares not a whit. The Princess of Lies has found the perfect means to destroy life - destroy Love and reproduction. The ‘Mrs Millers’ of the world grow in number by the day like rot in an apple barrel.

red pill
What a hoot reading her blog. It’s a veritable celebration of uselessness and self indulgence. The very essence of why this nation is failing and a smug self satisfaction that one is doing absolutely nothing but catering to ones own nihlistic desires. Theres got to be more to life than entertaining lost kitties and irritating the employer of ones means of support. She is representative of a curious death seeking tendancy of libs to claim that principles that sustain life and culture are to be cast off and principles of living that have never worked should be implemented and exhalted.
Like I said, death seeking, and hubby and all other men first…

Did everyone read/hear about the new study being reported that more than half of women are living alone? The fems are all the rage about it.
They are living alone because men are not asking them to get married.
Can you hear me now?
