Look i fully get that political lesbianism is blackpilled and terf adjacent and full of essentialist assumptions, but sometimes you just get reminded that at least in the patriarchal reality we live in, there's something deeply and utterly wrong about men and by "sometimes" i mean about hourly.

I don't care if I'm called prude or whatever this is bloody true. And let's be real a lot of dudes out here expecting women to adhere to strict gender roles..... and mfs can't so much as change a tyre. thats-why-im-confused. If they knew the expectations of of men back in my day they'll hush all that talk right quick

Demanding my wife perform the feminine duty of gaming while I backseat game and get mad at her stat investments.

Also yelling at our kids to shut the fuck up when we/she plays at the park because we have the steamdeck volume low to extend the unimpressive battery life.

There is definitely something wrong. Many people are saying it, and it's a worldwide phenomenon, and it's deeply layered. I don't know anything about this guy, but it's so common for even a "regular dude" to be totally cut off from any sort of communication about their own emotions, that talking to a chatbot about his feelings is a revelatory experience for him.

I'm a man and I am in total agreement. The way mssculinity is performed in modern society is deeply fucked.

[–] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago

There is, societally and individually, something deeply wrong with soooooo many men and it is very scary

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago

You don't have to be an essentialist to look at the situation as it is for the vast majority of men and feel like it's best to just check out. Just like you don't have to believe that people are biologically predisposed to be fascists to flee a fascist country. You just do what you gotta do shrug-outta-hecks

You're teaching me something here because honestly I thought it was a legit thing. Men are generally atrocious, I totally understand women who want to get the f away. I get how political lesbianism can be problematic, just like you said, but I'm NOT feeling like criticizing women who choose to disengage for any reason at this point

watching the complete alienation of society and dissolution of the most intimate human relations in real time and posting, boy, men are sure scumbags, huh?

Things didn't used to be better, they just weren't quite as weird and pathetic as a married man falling in love with a fancy autocomplete bot. I mean if this was 70 years ago that guy would be abusing his secretary or developing a parasocial relationship with a pinup poster of some actress.

Men (especially white men) are raised to expect a dominant position in society. The abundance of those dominant positions has been waning for fifty years but the way society gasses up young men hasn't changed, which leads to increasingly broken brained men. Women and minorities are conditioned to expect a lower/subservient/supportive role in society so they cope with drought of dominant positions much better.

I have empathy for it but any solution short of lesbian Pol Pot seems to be insufficient. Maybe we all need to start worshipping Stalin more openly and he'll gain power in the warp like the Emperor of Mankind and be able to finally do something about it all.
