Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

Lol. Yeah, maybe start by being open with women? Like it or not, conforming to what you think a woman expects is you being dishonest; when you only later open up, your own actions contradict the expectation that you previously set.
And, no, the entire Internet is not filled with this incel crap. Maybe the corners you frequent? Who knows.
Perpetuating the failures of our broken patriarchal system does not, in fact, justify it's existence. Furthermore, starting with this misogynistic crap is nothing more than a self fulfilling prophecy. But you know what? You do you. At least the chances of you passing this ignorant hatred to your kids will be practically non-existent...
Oh, and uh, no, i have no reason to "learn" misogyny; I happen to be blessed with an amazing relationship specifically because I do NOT subscribe to this useless crap.
In short, you're wrong, and always will be. Feel free to whine about it, I don't care. I'm done with this discussion.
Didn't say they were perfect, and didn't say their actions are your fault. I did say YOUR actions are yours, and yours alone.
And, dude...that's the only thing you can control. Frankly, whether you are right or wrong in the views you've stated is irrelevant. All you're gonna accomplish is twisting yourself up inside over things you cannot change.
Most importantly, if you use other people's choices as an excuse to be a shit person, that just guarantees a pattern of lose-lose scenarios in your life. If you're trying to be miserable, then go for it. But if not, well, you can only control yourself; all other "power" is an illusion.
Another way to put it: the only problems that matter are the ones that are yours. Other people's problems or choices are just a distraction; that shit ain't gonna take you anywhere. At least not anywhere you want to be. If you're not satisfied with something in life, that's on you to figure out. Blame is useless - it's not a solution, it's a trap.
Uh, sure buddy. My partner is apparently imaginary, given that women who want to help men don't exist.
Anyway, choosing to harbor a prejudice against literally half of the human race does, in fact, make you a shit person.
