  • The comments and upvote/downvote ratios say otherwise. The entire thread is made to concern troll. It’s like going to a BLM protest in 2020 and protesting about racism against white people in an African mini state. Technically a valid issue, but the framing makes it abundantly clear that it has a different purpose.

    This thread is full of men who are tired of hearing about women and finally want to absorb the entire discourse for their own comparatively trivial “issues”.







  • No, I do agree with the original image’s message. I just do not agree with the framing of “can women please stop being mean to the poor men please”, blaming women for the internal self-inflicted self-hatred within men. They do need support networks, and their depression should be taken seriously. The entire idea of “if you cry you’re not a real man” is a blight upon the world. More positive masculinity should be shown. But this is not an issue of traumatized women ranting about men, it’s an issue of “alpha bro” men attacking other men.



  • I think that statement is sexist Technically if interpreted as written, it would be, yeah. But we have this great thing called nuance, which tells us that if someone suffers their entire life from trauma, then policing their language about their trauma is not something that we do. If a Polish kid during World War 2 decided to hate Germans, technically it’d be a bigoted statement, but who would fault them? Who would make it a point to attack this kid for being xenophobic given his history? Who would seriously die on that hill?

    I’m sure you can see how a statement like “men are trash” is sexist. It is only if you read it literally, which anyone with a brain does not, because we live under patriarchy, and any such statement directed at men from a clearly traumatized minority obviously means those espousing the toxic traits of masculinity that society marks as essential for manhood. “Men” clearly means “typical men”.

    Just like feminists are correct to call out anyone saying “women are trash,” men are totally within their rights to call this out The difference is that we live under patriarchy. Someone saying “women are trash” is not venting about their trauma about women, they are kicking down from a position of privilege unto a minority. People saying “men are trash”, unless they’re really bonkers, obviously mean the constructed, toxic definition of “men” as applied in “real men” or “manliness”.

    Even the bad ones might not be so bad if they felt less devalued and disposable. Which is not women’s fault, but again, men’s. It’s an internal issue between each other. They literally beat each other up, scream, yell, compete, make everything into a violent contest. Attack men if you want to combat that behavior, because it’s only men who perpetuate it.

    I’m sorry if you’ve been traumatized and I totally see how having your words scrutinised like this is annoying as shit if you’re just looking to vent, but the whole point is that nobody should have to experience sexism. And that includes men. Treat others how you want to be treated and all that. I am just simply sick and tired of the vast majority of guys consistently making life hell for everyone else on the planet every single day, including even each other, and then suddenly we are supposed to care for their feefees. I do not. Let them solve it with their alpha lifestyle and superior intellect. I do not care a single inch whether a rapist feels unfairly treated.
