I mean if I had a Time Machine hell yeah I’m going back to to talk to my grandma, are you kidding? There are so many things I’d like to ask her. Why is that considered stupid but going to watch a bunch of moids kill each other (you can still do that in the 21st century) is “based”?
This supposes a grandiose conspiracy, when it seems much more plausible to me that someone noticed that misogyny sells. Produce misogynistic content, win in the algorithms, get rich quick, simple as. The algorithm is what makes it seem like a giant conspiracy and is what is pushing it to be more and more extremewow that's sinister af. We've already been taken over by the robot overlords it seems
This is exactly how I feel about modern liberalism and the so-called "left" in the US. There is no left in the US, because there is no class solidarity. Also, the article Inauthentic Selves: The modern LGBTQ+ Movement Is Run By Philanthropic Astroturf And Based On Junk Science has an excellent passage that hits home for me on this.
Bolded emphasis mine, by the way. Fantastic and well researched article. The bathroom bill, along with that article were among the things that peaked me.
Well I'd like to agree, but I have had many discussions with 50+ year old men who have had relationships and still buy into it. They parrot the MRA bullshit and keep themselves nice and miserable with that.
I don't understand what you mean by geared toward creating competition, but I believe you're coming at this from a patriarchal viewpoint where men are the ones who make money and women need to hope and pray their pussy and clean and cook game is on point enough to earn her stay. IDK man I like the idea of a before time where women would have had to feed ourselves or die, men are not putting their asses out on the line for us come on LOL
Yeah he’s actually kind of right here. As angry as I was about roe v wade we can’t pretend that women aren’t anti abortion and that women aren’t anti feminist. it’s a fact that women are turning away from feminism at higher rates and you can thousands of women unironically talking about taking away their own right. It’s disgusting but too many women are legitimately self hating and yes it’s the patriarchy’s fault but at the end of the day that’s where we’re at. It’s no secret that Feminism is a nullshit pozzed movement as of late filled with women unironically advocating for Prostitution, men’s rights, trannies etc. compared to blm and lgbt it’s way more reatrded. You’d never get blm saying white lives matter or lgbt saying straight pride, libfems are borderline meninists. And it is true that women have no real anger of fire towards misogyby like the blacks and the gays do towards their oppression and neither does societc. I already made my point about how sexism is the only form of bigotry that’s acceptable but a bit of that is because women have no real anger towards it. The instant trump said grab me by the pussy women should have rioted. buf they didn’t and 25 percent of white women voted for him. Women don’t have class solidarity like every other group and it’s one of the most evil things the patriarchy has accomplished in terms of decimating women’s rights. I’m not saying rvw is womens fault but it’s true that women have literally zero preservation skills and aren’t proactive enough in our fight
Even John Waters, the guy whose made some of the most fucked up movies ever, called straight porn some of the most fucked up and degrading shit he's ever seen because of this.
You’re 100% correct and it is an issue, but when it comes from a dude who is exclusively focusing on conservative women as the main roadblock towards a more pro-choice US, I just want him to choke and die.
People who say that women weren't important in the Bible haven't read the Bible. Women played some shockingly pivotal roles in scripture when viewed through the lens of the culture of the time. Rahab's pretty cool.
Women are turning from feminism because it’s been co-opted by corporations and Hollywood executives: “Female independence means spending your childbearing years slaving away to a soulless corporation, having insane amounts of casual sex, then dying alone with no family.”

I believe there are two types of troons - the ones you describe, who at some point realize that they fucked their lives beyond repair and want to start from the start (Cosmo Wright would be a good example) and sex pest troons who are products of porn addiction and troon out to live their fetishes and to shield themselves from consequences of their actions.
Porn in general became much more accessible and consumption of porn is no longer associated with shame. In my social circle calling someone a coomer is similar to calling someone a faggot - offensive and emasculating. Younger generations who grew up on the Internet and terminally online individuals consider porn to be normal and openly talk about watching it and normalize actions portrayed in it, that's the crux of the problem.
Female socialization teaches us to caretake people's feelings. There's a low level threat at all times around, it feels like, where I have to take care of others feelings. Now as I've mentioned, I purposely do the opposite of that, and push through the fear that someone could react. But it is that which we talk about when we say all men benefit from violence against women; they keep us in place, taking care of their feelings, making sure not to make them mad, to apologize, to smooth over difficult interactions. That low level hum of anxiety you feel.? That's your body telling you to run.
Sorry to shit up the ladies thread again, but I feel compelled to post this.
They've done studies on rhesus monkeys where they inject them with testosterone. What happens is they become more aggressive and less empathetic, but only to monkeys who are beneath them in the pecking order. They will be just as submissive to the alphas as before. So there probably is an element of socialisation to this, but I think there is also an inbuilt male desire to walk over people they perceive as less than them.
We'll always let you down in the end, Queen.
But this is literally the only reason I'm against it, it's the idea that it's brain poison that corrupts any moid that glimpses it that I don't find convincing at all. I don't consume porn because it doesn't interest me, and I have no concern for the porn-addicted coomers ruining their lives with it, any more than I care about drug addicts or the obese ruining their own lives with crack and big macs. I used to have serious concerns with how it commodified women in the view of society, but I can't get any of the arguments there past the fact that women have been just as commodified for all of human history, with or without porn being available, so I've softened considerably on those ideas. I'm still very, very open to being convinced it's a malignant social contagion, because I feel in my gut that it is, but the standard sex-negative radfem arguments that I used to believe just don't convince me anymore.
