I’m fine with people choosing not to have kids for personal reasons. Even if I disagree with their reasoning, it’s not my place. I do disagree with people that argue that nobody should have kids.
I mean there’s the quote that I’m probably getting wrong: “Right wing men view women as private property, left wing men view women as public property.” It really must suck on a level that I can barely begin to comprehend. I can understand feeling like neither side represents you, but women have it on a whole different level, what with having your freedoms and rights on the line.
I don't see how the patriarchy as real. It's an invisible bogeyman to blame problems on. What is labeled "patriarchy" is like you said, an emergent phenomenon, with its roots in innate sex differences. Acting like it's some kind of conspiracy upheld by men is foolish though.
This is the realization I've come to over the past few years and it was very freeing. I don't have to wear either party's button. Zen. I'll vote for whomever I personally believe will do the least amount of damage and not give another thought to it the rest of the year.
i agree. Sex-difference is reflected in the culture, more or less, depending on time and geographic location. The expectations to live up to your cultures standard gender-role affects men as well as women. it is not a stick one sex beats the other with.
My personal realization is that every women is to herself. Literally chances are there is no space for you or it is being actively eroded, the only way you will get what you want is to actually put effort in.
I get what you're saying but sometimes I just want to be a hateful psycho online.
Same but with added the media, various public institutions and corporations pushing the most incompetent and out of touch women that makes us look bad. I mean i had to read lunacy about Elagabalus being first something trans feminist , i never wanted to scream so hard at the academic for babbling some retarded bs that everyone with a brain can see is lunacy. Same with policy pushed in our name that nobody asked for it.
women are getting attacked from the left by erasing what is a woman and letting trans degens and immigrants to attacks us without repercussions while the conservatives outright want our rights terminated and cheer them on .
Understandable, sometimes it’s good to vent. It’s also important to not let venting turn into stewing in your own frustration. Hate can feel good, but it’s easy to get lost in it.
literally not-all-men, and those are reasonable, accountable adults, just like the reasonable, accountable women; if you mean can bad men get better, no, because no one gets better.
maybe statistically if we are allowed to have legal segregation/freedom of association once more. won't be 100%, but there are significant ethno/racial differences.
one would think having a daughter would ensure this, but meeting an incest victim erased all hope
I hope her abuser got punished. That must be terrible. It’s honestly kinda terrifying to me as a man to think about the sheer scale of male violence. It makes me worry if I am capable of being a good person despite my maleness. I think I am not a misogynist, at least I try very hard to not be, but what if am one and just don’t realize it?
Nothing ever happened to him; it was a Catholic family from the Midwest and the parents never divorced and for all I know he's still alive.
I never thought I'd read jealousy of people on an incel forum.
To a woman or to a feminist? Typically when I hear people use ally in this context they mean a kind of political ally. Not sure how you mean "to a woman". How would it be different to a friend?
