Yes, the patriarchy doesn’t just expect women to be subservient to men. It also expects men to be aloof, lone wolves who don’t need the support of others. This can lead men to lash out and hurt themselves and others when they’ve done what society expects them to do but still feel empty and hurt inside. The feminist movement, of which I’m a part of, doesn’t seek to uplift women by degrading men but identify how our gendered expectations hurts people and fix it.
you’re so disgustingly ignorant it’s not even funny. if you want to be a feminist, educate yourself with more than TikTok reels and YikYak discourse. pick up a book or read an article about feminism instead of whatever tf this is. don’t pretend to be a feminist. you give us a bad name.
they have to step out of their comfort zone to be less lonely with their own problems. that is up to them. everyone needs therapy, but unfortunately some people have bad experiences which leads to them not returning, and some people puss out and never go in the first place. therapy also overly relies on cbt (haha), which does not work for everyone.
So many are lonely because women are tired of the abuse they endure and the rights men in power are trying to strip so they would rather not be with a man than risk finding a man who might hurt them. I find myself trusting very few men because they end up showing their true colors and I don’t want to be hurt or worse. Thank goodness I know some good ones but god damn. It’s all just so sad.
I can almost guarantee you do absolutely nothing to try and stop violence against women and actually listen to them when they tell men why they are SCARED of them. We are scared of you and we don’t want to be hurt. We are tired of being raped, beaten, ruled over, and stripped of rights. And I’m speaking about women around the world, not just in the US.
Just say you’re bad at reading and move on. You don’t care about violence against women(and men for that matter). You’re definitely the type of man women should stay away from. This is why yall are lonely and we don’t want you. Stay lonely for all we care. If you don’t care about us then we definitely don’t care about you.😘
After the year we’ve had in this country after the election, I am so over giving a fuck what anyone thinks about my stance. People are being caged and deported like there’s no tomorrow, women’s rights are slowly being stripped, lgbtq people’s rights are slowly being stripped etc, and whos at the forefront of why it’s all happening? Men. And then they double down so I’ll scream louder if it makes them cry harder. (And yes I KNOW not all men, but it’s enough)
look. I understand the need for coping mechanisms right now. life fucking sucks with our current government, and our future is bleak. I’m asking you to not talk about feminism while ragebaiting men online. cope however you want, but don’t let others associate feminism with ragebait.
Dude who are you arguing with? I don’t doubt your statistics so what’s your point exactly? This is the stuff i’m talking about there’s no need to be rude or intentionally vague to cause conflict or get upvotes just be kind and more precise when you communicate your thoughts and there wouldn’t be any confusion.
Saying men rape women obviously is a blanket statement but IS accurate because look at those god awful statistics. Ofc women do too and it’s equally unacceptable but it’s minuscule and unequal in comparison. We don’t feel safe around you guys even if you’re cool because of our lived experiences and kindness hasn’t worked.
it really is. if i may connect it to my own experience, ive sat and watched my older sister, who has level 2 autism and grew up boy-obsessed and far too trusting of men, bc the women she grew up with at school always bullied her, whereas men would compliment her, but of course the compliments were to get access to her. she has gotten with, no joke, hundreds of men, and not a single one has ended up not being a total sex-driven manipulative shitbag. i know good men exist out there, and (1/2(?))
we attract people who see us how we see ourselves, and she does have an awful awful self esteem, but watching her has really heightened my distrust and dislike of most straighf guys her age (2/2). good men do exist but there is a loud aand llarge portion who are not, and it is annuoingly hard to find the good ones
It is a blanket statement that implicates innocent people, it’s rude cause people are more than their gender, let’s just say that statistics showed that majority of women shoplift as compared to men i still wouldn’t call women thieves and i wouldn’t clutch my jewelry when one walked by because the minority doesn’t define the majority, yes the majority of rapists could be men but that doesn’t make the majority of men rapists.
It’s truly so hard and I hate it because I want to have men in my life, and I want to love having them around, but pretty much the only ones who have not turned out to be complete asses are lgbtq ones so far in my experience. The others I can’t even trust because some of the “nicest” people are hiding behind the darkest secrets. I found out my grade school crush raped a girl and that was such a blow. He seemed so nice…
The problem with that is, while I agree it can lump in innocent people, there are far too many men creating these crimes to go unnoticed. Yes I will be crossing the street at night if I’m alone and see a group of men coming towards me. Some of you are great but 1 in 3 women get assaulted in their life. It’s high for guys too but those are still crimes mainly by men.
And someone could say “what about people being scared of black people because they create 50% of the crime?”, but that’s a highly inaccurate and disproven statistic. The one about men is not. So again, it just does not compare. Bad men have squandered it completely for good men because we can’t know who to trust.
I don’t deny that there’s too many men doing it more than 0 people doing it is too much, all i’m saying is what is the point of villainizing innocent men that would otherwise have been on your side if you hadn’t called them names it makes no sense and i mean more you as a person but the feminist movement as whole is given a bad rap because of blanket statements like this and it could all be prevented by just clarifying the type of man you’re referring to.
I literally did below and got flamed for it, by you. I said I’m someone who identifies how our expectations of gender hurt us and am trying to fix it and you just said my forefathers built a broken system. I am not my forefathers and I l know the system is broken and am working to try to fix it.
No you’ve given up on having faith in others, it’s tragic but that doesn’t mean the majority is excepted to take responsibility for the actions of the few. statistics in general are just inaccurate they don’t tell the whole truth, you could be right or it could be that women rape more than men no one would ever know because reporting your rape is extremely stigmatized already but it’s even more stigmatized for men, it’s just better to judge people by their character and not superficial stuff
Great! Then this post is NOT for you and you can ignore it. I’ll say this for the second time for you and 7 since I said it to someone else: this community is literally called “serve cunt or die”. I did it on purpose and ofc so many people got angry but so be it. If yall couldn’t read between the lines, idk what to tell you. It’s not directed at you.
I have given up because things are going backwards fast and most of us can’t change much aside from maybe what’s going on in our immediate lives. I’m not a lawmaker. We try, we fail. We make progress, it gets taken away. I legit do not have the energy anymore to fight like I used to. It’s killing me slowly. I only want everyone to have a fair chance at life.
