I don't understand misogyny at all. What's it all about? If you were homosexual and were raised in an ancient Macedonian army or something perhaps you wouldn't see a mother, sisters, daughters, lovers, work colleagues, neighbors, friends but who lives like that? Boys who live in front of a screen and are too anxious and scared to go outside? Racism I can kind of understand if you only have superficial knowledge of other people and cultures.

Once that testosterone kicks in at puberty women aren't generally a physical threat to men. I don't really understand all the fear of them. Some women are really, really cool. Like serious friend material and lifelong partner stuff.

They don't hate women, they just like to dominate.

80% of car accidents here are caused by wreckless driving by guys.

Guys are more dominant, and dominating women is viewed as misogyny.

Do not misunderstand. There's no hatred for women.

Except in niche cases like my mate that got his heart broken at age 15 when he was fat, then he went on and dated 5 girls at the same time because he didn't trust them. Then basically kept 1 of them and is now in a long term relationship. The one girl never knowing that he did that.

He was raised by his grandparents/single mother.

His dad went on to have a 2nd family where he wouldn't be a deadbeat father. So it's kinda idk.. it's his stuff.

So I guess there can be some hatred for women when it comes to having a broken heart and trust issues. But that's mostly for young guys.

Hating people is mostly a dumb thing to do, but it's not always a choice. You get your heart broken, love turns to hate until enough time passes before it can become indifference and you move on.

Racism.. 14 year olds are idiots. They segregate themselves by how they look and sound like and start fighting with eachother.

Russia phobia 😎 well, they done fucked up didn't they?

What else do we have...

Sinophobia.. scary government bruv

Western phobia.. I'll let LMs write that one out

Phobia's a normal thing, gets eliminated by long term communication

  • Women are male lonliness
  • Everything and everyone is weakness
  • I've made hating dishwashers my entire personality
  • There's a empathy epidemic

god this place is full of incels. grow a pair. real men don't whine and blame other people. real men take responsibility and find solutions. real men have mature emotional intelligence. real men understand women's wants and needs. real men pick up on cues and don't make things awkward. maybe if you spent some time interacting with real people in real life, you wouldn't be bitter.

the meme is perfect, btw.

Yes... It's because of the few loud-mouthed, salty, misogynists that men are generally lonely.

Maybe if this wasn't the attitude towards men all the time, there'd be less young boys listening to twats like Andrew Tate.

Or maybe if there were less young boys listening to Andrew Tate there wouldn't be that attitude towards men?

Boys are taught to ignore emotions (β€œare you crying? Man up!”)

But emotions is what connects humans (and animals for that matter) and can’t really be ignored anyway

Join the two… and you get loneliness, frustration, rage.

We should start a conversation on emotional education (not only for boys but especially for boys)

The guys saying the top three things aren't necessarily the same as those saying the bottom thing. But there is definitely some overlap. Which is depressing. Though, I mean is that really that surprising given the state of the world and how stupid the average person is?

The loneliness epidemic also effects women. We're all more lonely and miserable these days. I think really men and women are alienated from each other in large numbers due to internet brain rot. And being too broke to do anything outside except like... go to a public park or a library or something.

The shitty rightwing politics comes after, the average person is too stupid to not get immediately sucked into manipulative rightwing grift when they're painfully lonely.

I say this as I consume internet brain rot myself. Though at least its on Lemmy and not Tik Tok, Reddit, or Facebook, and its during work, not my free time.

When all your "friends" are alpha bro podcasters trying to get you to buy shit, yeah you're gonna be lonely.

More men should read The will to change by bell hooks. Patriarchy hurts men in different ways than it does women, we are all oppressed by it, including gender-nonconforming individuals. Patriarchy stunts male emotional health and creates these unhealthy repressed feelings. Rather than blaming women, men should look towards the systems that impact our daily lives and how they force us into little boxes we don't always fit neatly into naturally, suffocating us and justifying the general subjugation of women, which in no unclear terms exceeds the suffering of men under patriarchy.

Fr. A male friend of mine got into make up. Nail polish and such. I notice men who do this, stick to safe black. I asked if he wanted more colour, and he did. I remember cracking being a thing back in 2008 or so. A great caviat to go from just black, to black with colour! Perhaps men could bring this back into fashion lol
