this particular issue gets me so fucking livid. i guess it's because of how pervasive it is lately. every fucking guy and their dog is on some MRA/redpill/incel shit now to some degree.

i'm seeing redpill rhetoric be adopted by acquaintances, friends, etc. in real time. i constantly have to fight it. CONSTANTLY. it's driving me fucking crazy.

i have to be on high alert with every guy who isn't already well versed in this subject, and hell even guys who really should know better are still falling for it. i've seen it on this site, although i'm glad action is actually taken against that here, unlike reddit-logo.world which is currently having a misogynistic hissy fit while the mods are just sitting back and watching i guess

sorry for how poorly written this is. i'm so tired. like, both in the sense that i'm sleepy and in the sense that i'm fucking exhausted with this shit.

Few days ago, my very misogynistic uncle told me to stop using big words like 'feminism' and 'liberalism' and that he didn't spend 8 years studying for competitive exams to have a 'debate' with me. (he's still unemployed tho cuz I live in a shit country)

His words - 'what do you know about "feminism"? How many authors have you read on this? If you think you are knowledgeable about this, write 20 pages on feminism and then we'll talk'

He also believes hell is populated by women (he's religious) and thus there's something inherently wrong with them.

Still don't know how i feel about all this

This reminds me of a running joke a friend and I have.

“You like ___? Name 10”

Example, seeing a cute corgi

“Man, I love corgi’s.” cat-trans

“Oh yeah? Name 10” smuglord

We love trashing this particular cliché. It’s probably my most hated thought terminator, it’s just a way of smugly turning the debate around when you realize how outclassed you are in the material. I highly doubt he would be able to do a fraction of what he asks of you.

This list makes me want to puke

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

Yeah, sorry for choosing 8 horrible politicians and 2 women (Xiomara and Claudia) who shouldn't be associated with them

That being said, I fulfilled the list.

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why are you like dis? bird-screm-2

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

Just to show it ain't that hard to list 10 women, as long as you find another category to list them from. (Politicians)

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

Idk why, but my first thoughts were Kolontai and the lady that wrote The Yellow Wallpaper.

That means your words come from your heart and are pure and honest.

As a cishet man, I can confirm that we are fucking terrible.

I always try to convince myself that “We’re not all like that!” But then I see the ratio of my fem to male friends is something like 4:1 ( probably talking friends+acquaintances but still).

Considering the fact that in Christianity a woman is blamed for evil right off the bat, seems like men have always been like this

[–] rootsbreadandmakka@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I can’t tell you how many times I’ll like see something online that seems like a really hyperbolic and extreme men suck sentiment and I’ll go “ok I understand the sentiment but this is a bit much.”

And then I’ll talk to men irl, even men in my own circle who id hope are generally “better” and just realize that nope, I was wrong, men really are completely unsalvageable

[–] Hohsia@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

One of my friends recently told me she went on a date where she had to “escape” because the dude was getting so aggressive. Luckily they were at a pretty crowded event and she was able to blend into the crowd.

Fr where does this shit come from? Probably nature/nurture and a whole lot of the patriarchy

[–] rootsbreadandmakka@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

I suppose just being socialized into the patriarchy. But I’d love to peer into the mind of someone who is on a first date and decides hey I should start getting aggressive here thatd be a good idea. That’s a mindset that I find so completely alien to me and it’s not as if I wasn’t raised and socialized with patriarchal ideals myself

[–] OgdenTO@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is so interesting to me. I have predominantly female friends, some men who are really great friends. I have thought a lot about this over the last while, but it never occurred to me that most men just suck, and I don't want to be friends with them. This makes so much sense.

[–] Hohsia@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

Sounds just like me lol I just haven’t made friends with another guy in probably 7 years because of it. Would love to learn more about this phenomena if you could call it that
