exactly. and this shouldn’t be seen as a “woke” or “pick me” take either. we’re all deserving of humanity and recognizing how a system weaponizes every person no matter their place in a hierarchy.

There’s also the severe lack of a lot of men to talk to women and why so many men find it hard to find a partner. Because for almost all of human history before the last 50-60 years, having an income and a pulse was all you needed to get a wife, since they were dependent on men financially. Today, that’s not true, and women can want other qualities like being attractive, caring, funny, sweet, etc.

^^ That is a good thing, but it’s hard on a lot of men because men have NEVER been expected to possess qualities that attract women before now. It’s why so many young men are confused as to what women like, because before the last few generations, men never needed to care what women found attractive

that’s true, it does focus mainly on female liberation. but we can’t be liberated from the patriarchy until those that uphold and maintain it recognize its abuse, on both women and themselves. of course it’s important to mention that the harms on women are far more severe and urgent, but we also can’t deny how the struggles men deal with (isolation, toxic masculinity, etc.) erupt from this as well.

Yes, but we’re never going to fully be able to embrace it unless men are aware of the ways that our patriarchal society also hurts them

worth saying that hating on women for choosing traditional roles is not feminism either. i see a lot of this, and feminism is about the freedom to choose, not prescribing that the ‘old’ way of doing things is inherently wrong for everyone.

Also worth saying that the phrase “woke” was appropriated by the manosphere when it was originally used by the Civil Rights Movement to merely convey awareness of oppression

hearing someone unironically use the word “woke” to describe something makes my brain hurt. Like, I immediately do not give a shit about any of your opinions if you’re unironically calling shit woke.

Ah yes I remember when George Floyd asked the officers to politely close his windpipe, but he asked for it right? Dumbass

George Floyd didn’t build his cage. The system did and it cost him his life. What I’m calling out is the people who inherited keys but still act like they’re chained. One is real oppression. The other is theater.

People want to act like victims and think everything is happening to them but the internet magnifies negativity. It may be all someone sees and it consumes them

kid really said “it’s up to me, some random on the internet to decide when people are allowed to be upset about being oppressed” with their whole chest and thought they cooked

Not deciding what anyone feels. Just pointing out how online culture can trap people in loops of pain instead of help them move through it. There is a difference between validating struggle and monetizing it
