Comment on 40% of teenage boys believe women lie about domestic and sexual violence: new research
TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 23 hours agothe problem with gender crap like this is people typically have their own frame of reference of one sex is bad, the other good, and interpret everything through that lens.
they fail to see that either sex can be shitty. and that gender war stuff just reinforces and inflates people’s generalizations about the other sex. 10 years ago people didn’t think this way other than extremists… now it seems the majority of people have adopted extremist sexist positions thank to social media shit.

Yeah, that’s why it’s called a “gender war.” But if you criticize it in the wrong spaces, you’ll have a dozen feminists jumping down your throat about how “there’s no gender war! That’s just made-up manosphere propaganda!” While they go on making generalizations about men, and if you say that’s a generalization they’ll go “nOt AlL mEn!!1!” sarcastically as if they’re making a point.
But that only applies when you talk about “gender war” in the context of criticizing misandry and generalizations about men. If you bring up “gender war” to criticize misogyny and generalizations about women, in those same spaces, you’ll get those same feminists commiserating with you and saying things like “I feel that, sister, men are such evil swine!”
It’s pointless, and yes, social media directly contributed to this radicalization, polarization, and normalization of extremism over the past decade or so.

I hold that people are people and sex doesn’t matter. So basically everyone hates me. I love it.

Yeah, it’s “choose a side or else you’ll be treated like you’re on the other side.”
Socially-enforced campism, basically.
But I’ll never win the oppression olympics, so why would I even try to compete?
