Comment on Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny

  Lol, falsely conflating me telling you not to blame POC and women for late stage capitalism with telling you not to cry is pretty hilarious.

  I did what?

  What injustice are you facing that generations of women and immigrants haven’t been receiving the whole time?

  I’ve been using this thread as an opportunity to talk about a positive example, and that’s the marked increase in male childcare workers in Germany. I pointed out some masculine influencers doing good work. I bemoaned that much “X for women/girls” stuff is half-assed feel-good BS, prone to causing more harm than good (because half-assed, because it’s done for optics instead of the thing itself).

  I’ve been constructive. I didn’t lash out and try to put people down for caring about their issues. I didn’t wrap people up in ass-long back and forth threads demanding justification after justification why they care just to find an excuse to pounce, then ride my high horse into the sunset.

  Oh, and I also shot the horse of some guy.

    Oh I’m sorry I mistook you for someone who was blaming minorities for their woes… You’re just a guy defending him.

    If that’s your take on this thread then you’re just as complicit as the rest of these incels.

      It’s my take on my own contributions. Note that those didn’t include “defending some guy”, it really was an exhaustive list. How you managed to get that wrong in a post in which you apologised about getting something wrong is something you’ll have to ask your dead horse, I suppose.

        An exhaustive list of babying and validating young men who are being radicalized. You aren’t challenging their beliefs, you’re just patting yourself on the back for being tolerant of the intolerable. Which is ironic for someone who seems to be obsessed with an analogy about high horses.

        your dead horse

        Lol, because you keep beating it with a stick. Try a new analogy never once and a while.

  And as usual, in an act of irony, men are the biggest misandrist, and my biggest source of pain. I don’t like this social contract where I get fucked over no matter what. I’m just going to abandon it, and lead a massive exile with me. I already have a solar panel, and plan to get more.

    I think you’re confusing misandry with people just not liking you. It’s exceedingly rare for men to be harassed or oppressed simply for their gender.

    Lol, what are you talking about? Everyone keeps saying this shit, but no one is giving any real world examples. I am a man, if there is some social contract that sets men up to lose, why am I not experiencing it? I’m married, I have friends who are women, I work with several women, I don’t have any problems with the opposing sex? Maybe it’s a you problem and not a societal one?

    I’m just going to abandon it, and lead a massive exile with me. I already have a solar panel, and plan to get more.

    Lol, your username is apt. You think you’re going to be the Moses of incels and lead a bunch of morons off to the woods with nothing but a solar panel?

      I’m literally fucking gaslight by being told I don’t have ADHD, told my stomach issues are just because I eat fast, planning is stupid and other incredibly dumb shit. I have to listen to an anti-waxxer father talk shit for over an hour. I had to watch friends sprout sigma shit, called a woman I brought into the server “the huzz”, and called me a fucking pussy. Actually, I don’t have to deal with your bullshit either.

        What does that have to do with your gender? These are problems we all go through because our healthcare system is failing because they put profits before people.

        Sounds like you have shitty sexist friends… Again I fail to see how that has anything to do with misandry. That’s toxic masculinity, not misandry. You aren’t being targeted because you are male, you are being targeted because your shithole friends don’t see you as male enough.
