I was curious if people would notice, and it seems not everyone did. ;) Maybe someone got to be the daily 5,000 for SCP.

Too bad the voters won't hold her to account for it.

Why the fuck can't the police place charges anyway? Here in Canada any assault charge is automatic, it doesn't require the victim to do anything. Is that not true in the US?

I mean, yeah, basically.

And one country being invaded by what was previously thought to be the 2nd best military in the world.

Well you didn't write a typo, so why the fuck are you talking about them?

Whoever designed whatever the fuck you're supposed to be forgot how English grammar works, I suspect.

I'll let your leash-holder figure it out.

👌👍 Meanwhile screeching because of ads and I have to pay.

And what the hell is this line? Is this supposed to be English?

It's not pretty.

Removed everything after the ampersand, thank you. O7

This video is actually shockingly relevant right now, and does go through (some of) the 'hows' and 'whys'.

Remember that tradwife/incel/etc shit is all just fascism boiled down into specifics. The Nazi's sent women who wouldn't marry to camps just as easily as Jewish people, gypsies, etc. We think of the Fascist movement as specifically anti-Jewish people, maybe throw in some gay people/etc, but Unionists, Communists, Socialists, and Women were targeted as well.

The reason it works is because it offers easy answers, and the average person has been made to be so lazy they'll accept what they're told, especially if they're told everyone else is doing it. They aren't a Nazi, they're part of the Nazi's.

We also have a huge backlog of emotional baggage for men post the 1980's. At some point we all accepted that men wouldn't show any emotions except anger, rage, frustration, etc, and then kept doubling down on it. Now you have groups of young men fed directly into a pipeline of Facebook/Youtube/whatever platform that spoon feeds them fascist garbage. Why? Because it makes them tame and easier to control. You notice fascists aren't out there killing rich people, they're killing minorities? That's by design, because the wealthy know they're fucked if young men turn that rage against them, the real perpetrators of said poor people's suffering.

The wealthy love fascism, it gives them everything they want. They don't see the poor people below them as human, so it's all just a giant menagerie to them so they can have their Line Go Up Faster than the other rich people.

There's also this study from 2017, if you want more info on this.

I won’t lie; I cried a little when I read your comment. It’s really validating and rare to truly be seen. I do tread very carefully to be appropriate, fair, and reasonable in my responses, but I never really expected anyone to see that. I appreciate your comment more than I know how to say.

Well fuck me, 'cause I shed a tear reading that, so consider it repaid. I don't know how to respond either, other than to say it feels great to 'hear' you say that. I do see your struggle and if it helps any, there are more people like me who see it too, yet don't know to (or how to) let you know.

I just want everyone who is forming an opinion to see as many different sides and experiences as possible to, at the very least, make an informed decision on the state of gender politics. I know that everyone has their personal biases, and no one wants to give up privileges or power, but at the end of the day, again, like you said, the patriarchy hurts all of us.

And I wanted to thank you for diving through all of the... responses here, and maintaining your composure. I won't to pretend to understand how you do it, but it is extremely impressive. The moreso because we're all fighting the same enemy (the wealthy) and again we see men jumping to attack a Lemmy Shitpost for being too unfair to men or whatever. The patriarchy of wealthy people are all our enemies.

I appreciate you. <3

So this is the part I really teared up, thank you very much. It never feels bad to hear it, and I appreciate you as well. I will continue to exist here, absorbing downvotes in my unchecked anger, watching you navigate through with poise.

Conversely, men often have to be taught this because society doesn’t do the teaching. Society is cool with men following the status quo.

I wanted to briefly add to this that in WW1, one of the primary concerns of frontline commanders was that the soldiers literally couldn't take care of themselves. They couldn't sew, cook for even themselves, clean their clothes properly. I remember a quote from one soldier saying that, to paraphrase, 'back home mom does everything.' And then goes on to mention feeling rather helpless when doing even basic things a person needs to do to survive.

So I'm sorry about this entire thread, and, well, this entire issue, to insert my Canadian background on said issue.

I can see how careful you're being with what you posted, and frankly, I'm sad you have to do that. The fact is men have had it easier for most of our history, and they really hate looking at said fact. Do men have legitimate issues? Absolutely, and feminism addresses them all. 'The patriarchy' hurts men and women both.

So, yeah, thank you. :)

I think you know why.

This feels reductive. Are you seriously saying 'trust boys' is a message you should give girls right now? I have boys and girls, and I would never tell my daughter 'yeah just default to trusting guys' -- hell she had issues with boys not understanding consent or bodily autonomy in elementary school.

And I 100% blame those of us around those boys, we're the adults, but the fact is girls literally cannot afford to just trust men or boys on meeting.

We need to teach our boys and men to stop doing these things and then we can tell everyone to trust by default.

I think it's likely that we're just so used to being catered to, that as soon as we aren't, we start to throw tantrums and demand to be the centre of attention again. Like these numbers aren't just bad, they're terminal: Boomers are less conservative than men 35 and under.

We're fucked if we stay on this path. Why would the Cons care to actually do what they promised to if half of all men will vote for them no-matter what they do?
