This is what I don’t get about the manosphere movement.
Young guys watch these influencers being abrasive macho dorks, talking exactly like this. They somehow combine that “dorky, petty semantic minutia” argument style with being aggressively condescending and being a macho jerk, all at once. I’m a pretty isolated guy, yet it’s amazing how grating it is to me.
And men watching these influencers conclude that… other people will appreciate that?
Things are already equal. Toxic masculinity comes from toxic femininity. Toxic femininity comes from toxic masculinity. It’s been like that forever, but we raised the living standard enough so now we can argue about this with our excess spare time.
Also, it is another way of divide and conquer to make sure that we keep fighting each other and not the billionaire class who needs to be defeated if you want to have a world in 20 years from now.
The quantum head fuck Is that men and women have always been equal in a weird way and at the same time equality can never be achieved because giving birth was given to one of the two sexes and not the other.
When it comes to class warfare, equality can be achieved.
Because while intelligence and skill and talent may not be equally distributed, the right to live is.
My friend, go outside.
or even pull up the news
I don’t have to, the downvote ratio tells me the divide and conquer is alive and well.
‘The news’ is kinda how they do it.
The downvote ratio tells you you’re being ignorant. That’s literally it.
The downvotes ratio tell me that the “off with their head” human hive psychology is still working and that’s the primary weapon the oligarchs use to stay in control.
I’m not ignorant, I’m making a point to broaden the perspective, and a few people believed that I’m claiming that “women make enough money now” or “pay inequality is no longer an issue” or “violence against women is not disproportionately larger than with men”.
did you even read the link I posted?
Send me the link that proves that decades feminism has had tangible impact on policy in Western society in data.
You can’t. Because they are not a well funded lobby group and this is a capitalist system you’re trying to change.
Yes, that argument makes anyone who makes it sound like an incel, but that doesn’t mean that’s the case, nor does it invalidate the argument.
We have the sea rising by nearly 5cm per decade now, we blew straight through 1.5° and the President of the biggest military in the world is and actual pedophile.
On the other side men can become women and vice versa without being thrown into a lake to see if they drown or publicly burnt.
I think focusing on climate change and not having the biggest pedophile coverup in human history succeed is a much higher priority.
Teach sons to be good, teach daughters about the sons who aren’t. Help female coworkers negotiate the same salary as men. But then maybe move on to the sons and daughters to be safe, and actually have a future.
<show me proof that contradicts my worldwideOk CB.
Oh great, at least one gets it
Sigh.
The only reason someone says my friend is cause they think your an idiot. It's like saying bless your heart.
And considering what you said... Yeah... Oof
I've been saying it like
My friend...
I am not trying to rob you. I'm trying to help you.
