Russian and Eastern European Women’s Academic / Cultural Credentials Don’t Automatically Entitle them to Special Treatment from Men

Oftentimes in order to legitimize creating laundry lists of characteristics that Western men supposedly have to have in order to have relationships with Russian and Eastern European women, and to further put Russian and Eastern European women on a pedestal, people like Rexpat give a list of cultural and academic cradentials of these women have, and claim that because they have them, it further “proves” that they are “the best women in the world”, and thus deserve even more to be placed upon a pedestal.

Now the thing is that actually when compared to the rigorous academic expectations of my college, the things that these people have listed as the academic and cultural cradentials that they claim most Russian women have (i.e. they know 3+ languages, they read Dostoevsky and Tolstoy, they go to the opera regularly, they have a B.A. from a Russian university, etc., etc., etc.) aren’t really anything special where I come from.

The college that I go to is a small elite college in the Midwest. Stuff that has been listed as general cultural and academic credentials for Russian women by people like GL and Rexpat is really only part of the bare bones expectations here, and many students such as myself go far above and beyond those bare bones expectations.

Personally, my academic program at college consists of:

-A major in Mathematics with a Concentration in Statistics

-A major in Philosophy

-An Interdisciplinary Concentration* in Computer Science (At my school, an Interdisciplinary Concentration is an academic program that involves a work level about halfway between that of a major and a minor, and involves work from several different disciplines.)

-A minor in Astronomy

-I have 3 times been on the Dean’s Honor List for students who had a 3.5 GPA or above for the semester. (A very difficult feat at my particular school, and especially for me considering my heavy courseload due to my many academic programs).

-Also, I have recently been approved by the Mathematics department for a 3-month Artificial Intelligence project.

The thing is, I go to a top-flight college which has an outstanding nationwide reputation and also attracts students from all around the world, and am in many challenging elite programs within that college and have had many achievements.

So I’m not going to immediately put women on a pedestal when I hear that they read Dostoevsky and Tolstoy, or that they have training in a Russian university, or even that they speak 3+ languages. (Additionally at my college, speaking a second language is a requirement, and yes, many students here speak 3 or more languages).

Now I’m not saying that there are no young Russian women who have even more academic credentials than are generally listed out by people such as GL and Rexpat, or Russian women that have even more credentials than myself or the even more elite students at my school, obviously there must be. (Russia and Eastern Europe are big.) And I’m definitely not saying that it’s bad that these women are pursuing these academic credentials. It’s a very positive thing, and I highly encourage any Russian woman or any other woman, or man, to pursue any academic credentials or goals that are within your interest and power.

What I’m saying is that Russian/Eastern European women’s academic credentials do not entail that Russian/Eastern European women deserve to be worshipped upon a pedestal and that anyone who deviates from that party line should immediately be ostracized.

Folks in the MRM:

Placing women, whether they be Russian, South American, Asian, or whatever, on a pedestal and making up a laundry list for yourself of all the hoops you must jump through in order to have a relationship with them is not only disempowering for yourself, but will actually hasten the spread of feminism and entitled bitch syndrome into the rest of the world.

Guys, in order to defeat feminism, we have to take our mentalities back to a more raw and savage time. We have to get to a point where we no longer care about whether women approve of us or not. Or whether or not we have characteristics which make us “worthy” of them or not. And that means out with the laundry lists, and out with the putting of women on a pedestal.
