WTF? Inside a Secretive Group Where Women Are Branded

[FGB]

I just...No words...

Last March, five women gathered in a home near here to enter a secret sisterhood they were told was created to empower women.

To gain admission, they were required to give their recruiter — or “master,” as she was called — naked photographs or other compromising material and were warned that such “collateral” might be publicly released if the group’s existence were disclosed.

Sounds like a Trump club.

 

[richard_daily]

Seems like just another religion.

So it's like joining a fraternity....bunch of secret bullshit, lots of hazing, but brotherhood, er, sisterhood, yo.

so they're not even lezzing out or anything? man, cults are fucking stupid.

Both Nxivm and Mr. Raniere, 57, have long attracted controversy. Former members have depicted him as a man who manipulated his adherents, had sex with them and urged women to follow near-starvation diets to achieve the type of physique he found appealing.

Now, as talk about the secret sisterhood and branding has circulated within Nxivm, scores of members are leaving. Interviews with a dozen of them portray a group spinning more deeply into disturbing practices. Many members said they feared that confessions about indiscretions would be used to blackmail them.

Let me guess: he didn't make such women watch him as he masturbated.

Assuming this is real, it sounds pretty disgusting. Even so, these are consenting adults, and if they volunteer to have such things done to them, that is their business. Some people, whatever their reasons, do all kinds of stupid things or allow charlatans to do all kinds of stupid things to them.

Wait, are you suggesting that adult women don't have to be protected from making bad decisions? Cause that sounds like... feminism.

What the hell does "empowered" mean in the first place?

Usually these meaningless fad terms eventually go out of regular use, like paradigm. What ever happen to paradigm?

Say whaaaaaat?????

I guess you have no clue what feminazism means.

Recently, femanazi's in Britain I think it was, actually said that women shouldn't be put in prison even if they commit crimes. I don't know if that applies to men who claim to be women, or women who claim to be men, that wasn't made clear, but that's what they are calling for.

I didn't say anything about feminazis.

I think it sounds more like Libertarianism.

Scientology run amuck. Or is that redundant?

In a team-building meeting about 25 years ago, I stifled laughter as the "team trainer" kept pronouncing it "pair uh diggum." It didn't seem to register with anyone else.

Almost choked on my clam chowder once listening in on a conversation about somebody's stated point being "hyperbowl."

Isn't that the annual inflated rhetoric championship? They always say it will be awesome, but it never lives up to the hype.

I think it's a football game played on Jan. 1 between the two best teams at law schools.

You have to forgive our little Renard.

When it comes to the uppity black people, the deviant perverted homosexuals and those selfish womenfolk who've forgotten their place in the order of things, he gets a mite...triggered.

Empowered is what you don't feel when whining about the fall of whites from majority status.

Yep, just like those Scientology members. They joined of their own free will or with momma and dad's encouragement. Giving away millions of dollars for the advancement of perverts.

When my wife was young her two older brothers branded her with some sort of 1/2" metal rod on her arms. It wasn't a club or a cult, just two ornery brothers that loved to do nasty things.

At least those others did it of their own free will.

 

[Cumference]

It sounds like a cult along the lines of scientology, but with the added benefit of women being nasty to other women.
(And they are true experts when it comes to that)



But like most other religions, it is just another “Kissing Hank’s Ass”-scheme.
They just went a bit further with the hazing, sorry I meant “rituals”, and got busted.
(They should have bought some more politicians and actors before doing it)

The brand is after all quite beneign compared to whittling away on the genitals, and it was done to adults, not infants.

 

[Antryg_Windrose]

Persuading of-age women to be willingly branded and fucked - this is wrong, how? What was involuntary and forced? Switch genders and show me the abuse. I won't go for that myself, but I can envisage guys of less manly presence taking that trip.

 

[FGB]

Wrap any situation up in what people want to hear, add a little mystery and taboo AND charge them enough and the gullible will take a running dive into it.

Well...Except for Hillary.

Goodness, whatever happened to the requirement to embrace "diversity and multi-multiculturalism?"

That's relatively new to the cow branding industry.
