  • I can’t speak for Korean manosphere ideology, but all i see of the Western equivalent is built very thoroughly towards a hermetically sealed world view were the tiniest bit of change will make you a beta cuck doomed to a lifetime of paying child support for somebody else’s children. Inocculation against criticism is very central to incel, PUA, high value male and MIGTOW discourses. So within that ideological framework, doubling down in an attempt to become as alpha as possible and getting one of the last remaining tradwifes or becoming completely blackpilled are the only logical conclusions.








  • BTW if the job is traditionally regarded as a woman’s job, it also pays like shit because traditional women’s jobs are ones that are socially necessary, but not economically productive. Is there discrimination against men in nursing or child daycare? Well, yes, i’ve seen some of that when i was working in nursery pre-transition, i’ve had friends see some of that when they worked in childcare pre-transition, although in both fields it has a tendency to invert once you’ve clawed your way up to a middle management position. But the conditions in these jobs, regardless of whether men or women do them, are a product of how systemic misogyny is used to devalue care labor and outsource it to a permanent underclass.


  • Do none of you people arguing for the existence of misandry understand that “a woman was mean to me once” is not in any way remotely comparable to the systematic undervaluing of women as people for the benefit of men

    They seriously don’t. Like, they have no idea how it is out there. As a trans woman, i at least sorta kinda know both sides - i always completely sucked at being a guy and could rarely if ever actually enjoy the decidedly guyish parts of my pre-transition life, but i can still safely say that i know what it’s like to have male privilege, to be the man in a straight relationship, to be able to hang out with the boys at / after work, to be your parents’ son instead of their daughter, to be with the guys instead of the girls at a social gathering, to walk home at night when you’re read as a dude vs walking home at night when you’re read as a girl, and they just don’t. And because they are the cultural default and their experiences are always the ones being centered, it stays that way. A huge part of how male suprematism works is that guys, average guys who aren’t Andrew Tate and think of themselves as not being toxic douchbros, are still being completely oblivious to how different a woman’s day to day life is from theirs. Most of them would not be able to make the same amount of use of women in their professional, private, sexual and emotional life if they understood how much we are still subjected to serve men in nowadays much more subtle, but still very noticeable ways. And if you point it out to them, if you point out that the difference between them and Andrew Tate is in most cases gradual, not absolute, they do everything in their power to reject that realization, because our servitude is so damn useful to them.


  • For starters, you’re really good at immediately trying to silence women criticizing the patriarchy and centering yourself in a conversation about the systemic opression of women. I’d hazard a guess that traditional concepts of masculinity where men have to be the strong stoics working through every problem on their own at least contribute to your problems, but in spite of patriarchy having harmed you that badly, you still run to its defense in the expected ways like the good pupper you are.



  • When you have a clear opressor side and a clear opressed side, you do not bothsides things, that’s literally all lives matter tier shit. The points you are making are key talking points of manosphere chuds arguing against feminism, and that kind of shit is coming up on here over and over again, not only by one day old accounts, but by people who’ve been posting here for ages.

    It would be fucking ridiculous how open to antifeminist, misogynist reasoning hexbear is if it wasn’t so obnoxiously common even in leftist spaces. Don’t be surprised when women are “misandrist”, never trusting a man is a normal, necessary survival instinct for us.
