literally nothing else has worked in the history of the world to 1. mobilize the mass majority of women to care about their liberation 2. convince men to be their allies. both left-wing and right-wing men hate women—hate when women are autonomous, independent from them financially, emotionally, physically, romantically, sexually, politically, socially, etc. at their core, all men, conditioned by patriarchy, believe women are not and cannot be their equal
Also hatred always has affect on the people being hated we have to remember that the people consume this content are not just adults it kids that are using the internet and what they learn from to build a sense of self worth and identity no should have to feel bad for being a man or a women because they can’t control that and the affects are very present when we look at men’s mental health
women HAVE been trying to have these conversations—women have tried appeasing men, telling them they’d benefit from feminism too! (flattening the actual goal of feminism: female liberation from patriarchy) that men don’t benefit from patriarchy at ALL! patriarchy HURTS men, too! women have tried distilling their beliefs to adhere to larger movements, movements that ignore and trivialize the suffering of women. they even did this by swapping “feminist” out with “egalitarian.” NOTHING HAS WORKED
i think a key part of all of this is that women’s hatred for men, no matter how “online” or otherwise mouthy it is, has virtually no tangible impact on the real world. women are not mowing men down with their cars, slitting men’s necks, mutilating men’s bodies, imposing laws that control what men can or cannot do, attacking men at random on the street, because they’re motivated by their hatred for men. the reverse, men hating women, however…
I would disagree I think that man hating actively pushes young men towards toxic masculinity because they don’t feel like spaces inhabited by women online are safe spaces and instead seek solace with creators like Andrew Tate who prey on how young men feel about the man hating and use it to convince them that incel and toxic masculinity behavior is what’s best for them
Your generalizing to much they’re are plenty of men who understand what u are saying but turning towards hatred because it seems like it’s not working isn’t gonna fix anything also my experience online is that when men engage in conversations about how the patriarchy negatively affects them there’s an understandable but still unhelpful lack of empathy the whole “who set that system up” thing
do you think manosphere talking heads like andrew tate or clavicular—both of whom have their own allegations/convictions—don’t play a role in pushing women to distrust men even further? when they encourage misogynistic rhetoric like “hypergamy” or the belief all women are gold-digging sluts? that they’re only a pussy to fuck and display? it’s all so they can further antagonize and ridicule women
