Based Camp | Simone & Malcolm CollinsDating Is New & Was Considered Worse than Wh****gHistorically, what we now call dating was treated as lower-status than prostitution. The word “date” itself once meant visiting a prostitute. Then working-class “charity girls” undercut professional sex workers by trading companionship and intimacy for dinners, tickets, clothes, and nights out — a practice contemporaries called treating.In this Based Camp episode, Malcolm and Simone Collins walk through the late-19th / early-20th century shift: cheap urban leisure (nickelodeons, dance halls, Coney Island), taxi dancers as proto-host clubs, shop girls hunting rich bosses, the rebrand of face-painting into “makeup,” the invention of “personality” and the It Girl, and 1920s petting parties...

Based Camp | Simone & Malcolm CollinsHow Women Tricked Men into Doing All the Work While Still Playing the Victim (Forbidden History)In this eye-opening Based Camp episode, Malcolm and Simone Collins dismantle one of the biggest historical myths pushed by both feminists and modern “trad” circles: the idea that women historically stayed home doing minimal work while men did everything.Using cross-cultural evidence from hunter-gatherer societies, medieval Europe, Vikings, Spartans, ultra-Orthodox Jews, Islamic traditions, Africa, Latin America, India, China, Japan, and colonial America — plus genetic evidence from modern birds — they reveal the real division of labor: women handled the majority of reliable, grueling calorie production, farming (pre-plow), management, textiles, marketing, and household economy, while men focused on high-risk, high-rew...

Demand for exorcisms is surging, with the number of U.S. exorcists growing from ~12-24 to about 150 in recent years — yet priests say they’re still overwhelmed.In this episode, we dive into recent reports on the rise in exorcism requests, linked to occultism, esotericism, and satanism concerns raised even at the Vatican. Despite our strong anti-Vatican and anti-mysticism stance, we make the case that structured Catholic exorcisms are surprisingly effective — and often superior to modern psychology for certain issues.We contrast safe, regulated Catholic practices with riskier charismatic/Pentec...

Based Camp | Simone & Malcolm CollinsFeminists Prefer to Date Misogynists: The ScienceIn this episode of Based Camp, Malcolm and Simone revisit studies showing that men who report higher mating success (more consensual partners, perceived attractiveness) are also more likely to self-report coercive/forceful sexual behaviors — a bimodal pattern (high-success “Chads” and low-status desperate men). They argue this isn’t always genuine assault but often experienced men misreading “token resistance” in consensual kink/dominance play, or contextual factors where women don’t label or report it negatively. The Collinses contrast this with Red Pill misconceptions: women don’t crave gruff, aggressive “dread game” misogynists but rather charismatic, self-assured, ruthless-pragmatic, “fey/vampire-like” pret...
