The bottomless threadhole of misogyny that helped make some women a lot more successful

One thing I used to get attacked for on social media were my many secksist & downright chauvinist jokes up in my old elBenbo’s Lair group. From screenshots my Spy Network sent me: * I was accused of being a boy in a man’s body. * The group was called “a bottomless threadhole of misogyny” * One longtime customer said (in an all-female group at the time) it was an “animal house.” * Another chick (an A-list copywriter) said about Yours Unruly: “I still want to slap him half the time when I read his emails about ‘chicks’.” * Another chick accurately observed: “I feel like it’s turned into a game of who can impress Ben Settle the most. The dopamine ‘high’ is wearing down.” (Note: even as she stayed inside my Lair…) * One of the more frequent female commenters complained: “My eyes are starting to sting reading in the Lair now.” * And my all-time favorite: (During one of my social media wars) “What in the f—ck is happening in the Lair! I will not stand back and let anyone call ___ a slut! Worst part is it was a female! Females should support each other, not tear them down.” The reason that was my favorite? Because literally nobody called anyone a slut. It was all pure 100% fake outrage. And, it helped ignite an entire week of non-stop talk about my group in multiple other groups, that resulted in some 10 new Email Players subscribers and around 100 new opt-ins to my website in just a few days’ time. But it wasn’t all “Ben is the devil!” candlelight vigils. Certain females up in elBenbo’s Lair profited handsomely from it. Like, for example, Holly Mthethwa, who I gave a platform to write an article each week. She said: == Thanks for letting me flail, swim, and sometimes nearly drown. And as much as you make fun of coaches, I just finished getting certified as a marriage coach back in August. I still attribute my role as lady lair to being the starting point of this journey. It’s taken me since 2017 to get to this point and it may take me another two years to get my program and book done etc, simply because my babies and homeschool just mean so much more in terms of my priorities during this time in my life. But, I’ll get there and I’m glad to have the long-term vision I started to develop in the lair. Thank you for that dark, devious, and—sometimes—delightful space. == Just another result of applying what I teach in my Social Lair book.
