yea but some women say "men are trash" on social media and that’s just as bad 😢 /s
Well you know the saying, women's concerns are rape, murder, abuse, men worry about getting laughed at.
/s ffs
I got called a misandrist for saying "not all men, but too damn many". This has made me doubt claims of misandry. While I'm sure it exists, I'm no longer sure of it's previlince.
Misandry doesn’t exist the same way misogyny does for sure. Honestly this meme is the perfect explanation why it doesn’t exist. But yeah, you’re right!
Some get their feelings hurt, some die. Close enough. /s
But now men have policed each other’s gender expression so tightly that they are incapable of emotionally connecting, leading to them feeling really lonely. What are women doing to fix this unacceptable situation!?
Obligatory /s. Maybe I'm just too autistic, but I read it literally the first time
Thank you, yes it was sarcasm.
Damn right. And adult women rarely murder adult men... the murder rate is wildly disproportionate.
One group is fighting for their freedom but members of the other group complain when they succeed.
Belle Hicks said it right, though, feminism is for everyone. A system that fucks over one group isn't going to treat anyone else fairly, either. More men should be fighting on our side, as much for themselves as for us.
Strongly agree, feminism is for the benefit of all genders. The freedom for men to express themselves without being compared to women as an insult as an example.
We are stronger when we have empathy and kindness upheld as ideals instead of seen as feminine and thus weak.
Ooh I'm sure this thread will only contain comments by people allowed to post here and that everyone will be respectful about the facts of history
I'm so fucking tired, I swear
No no no don't you get it? Even though women experienced all of that, some of them can still refuse sex and it's made a lot of men really like, lonely :(
If they can refuse sex though everything is equal now, because men would never physically overpower or use lies and drugs to get around a refusal for sex.
I explained it to my sons when they were teens as such: just because in the past men were privililged to have more of the well paying employment than women and some males (rich, white, educated) had the best of those jobs, doesn't mean that today's men are unfairly disadvantaged when other men (of colour) and women (all) are also able to compete for those jobs. Blaming women and immigrants because you now have to compete with everyone else for employment isn't their fault, it is the fault of business and governments who have allowed the wealth imbalance that makes working for a living wage unobtainable for a growing portion of the population. The solution isn't being anti any group of working people. The solution is taking back control from the corporations and the 1%.
Lowkey, I don't view it as men vs. women at all. It's really just the bourgeoisie pitting us against each other by playing favourites.
tl;dr: Workers of the world, unite!
Edit: I made an additional statement, which was sexist against men. I have removed it. My appologies.
Conditioning is really powerful. I hear your anger, but please don't make statements like "most men are disgusting monsters" again here
I'm all for a safe space for women but this reeks of sexism. Except the good ones, is a common trope among bigots who want to generalize without sounding like bigots.
Honestly I'd really like to believe it's not most men that would do fucked up shit. Men are problematic because most don't speak up when they see bad shit, but I still think it's a minority that are actually doing the bad shit. I do think that not speaking up is conditioning that can be broken though.
At least that's me trying to live in a glass-half-full world.
I’m uneasy with this commonly seen argument here. There is a class war, but it’s not like the gender war disappears on the working class side when workers unite.
It’s only men vs women insofar as men uphold and reinforce the patriarchy like in the post.
People more eloquent than myself can probably elaborate on what I’m saying better than my admittedly brief comment here.
Zero sum jags think my gain is their loss.
We're all just souls / minds having a human experience. It would be cool if one day we could all relax a little about our wrapper. I think when people start uploading their minds or in whichever way existing primarily in a reality where changing ones form is effortless we will better understand what was true all along.
We'll probably see what we've known all along, that people treat you differently depending on how you present. Which is what this text is about.
Are we really arguing the null hypothesis on a meme?
