    1. “Women, gays and blacks exist in a strata below white males because lobsters.”

    I cannot understand how you folks who love to defend this cretin can overlook this utter malarkey and focus on ‘make your bed’.

        I believe the lobster bollocks is actually Rule # 1. ‘Stand up straight’ or some shit (which lobsters also do not do because, well, they are lobsters).

        Have you read the book?

          I have read the book yes, and the lobster stuff is in chapter 1 indeed.

          I don’t think that chapter was particularly enlightening, as far as I remember it was mainly about how evolutionary selection results in hierarchies in al species (hence the lobsters), and standing up straight gets you higher in the hierarchy because of something something confidence.

          The evolution stuff is not wrong, and the stand up straight is… Eh… weird psychology stuff? However it didn’t mention women or gays as you said.
