@JoshEakle You're absolutely correct, it's toxic and a problem.

Do you have anything to offer the men he's appealing to other than derision or useless platitudes? No? Then you have no way whatsoever of preventing them from going down this ideological path. It's either him or Tate.

@GrumbleSquid @Frediculous I think I have a chicken-egg disagreement here. That said, I appreciate the polite discussion. In the interest of not spamming a bunch of new threads to lose track of, if you want to continue it in DMs we can -- if not, no worries.

@GrumbleSquid @Frediculous Imo there is room between blackpill hatred and the sort of doormat "yas-kweening" a lot of feminist men did in response to things like the man-bear hypothetical

[local user of language @helloooobyebye]

@GrumbleSquid @Frediculous I'd probably call myself a tepid anti-feminist in light of most of the rhetoric I've seen from that direction in the last decade, but with notable exceptions most blaming of women that I see is in response to simplistic and one-sided condemnations of men's behavior.

[local user of language @helloooobyebye]

@GrumbleSquid @Frediculous That has shades of what I'm talking about. "Patriarchy" is a mix of privileges and disadvantages for each gender, and both genders enforce it. Abstracting the discussion of those specific privileges and disadvantages prevents them ever being solved or addressed.

[local user of language @helloooobyebye]

@GrumbleSquid @Frediculous Well, if there were more of a track record of "let's talk about how women enforce patriarchy" then sure. But like I said, 99% of the time "patriarchy hurts men too" is brought up to deflect from some toxic trend men specifically are facing and re-center the conversation on women

[local user of language @helloooobyebye]

@GrumbleSquid @Frediculous I recognize that it is frustrating for women to deal with the male sex-brain and how early it enters into interactions and sorts them into boxes, but most of that is hardware we can't really change. "Patriarchy" just implies that's the only problem with dating too often for me.

[local user of language @helloooobyebye]

@GrumbleSquid @Frediculous My problem with the term "patriarchy" is it being inherently gendered. If society agreed on the term for it, and recognized it didn't imply gendered fault, then sure. But in practice it turns into "men are exclusively to blame for every problem with *insert thing.*"

@Awk20000 @Asmongold @tiktok_us @Ubisoft They want Asmongold killed for saying AC Shadows is a 7? Seems like a slight overreaction?

[local user of language @helloooobyebye]

@GrumbleSquid @Frediculous I mean that's where it's at for us approaching you. Some girl will find us creepy, another will find us hot. One will be infuriated if we're not texting back, another will think we're desperate and ghost if we text back too quickly. There's really no solution for this in dating.

[local user of language @helloooobyebye]

@GrumbleSquid @Frediculous A girl came onto me aggressively early last year just seeking casual sex. I just appreciated it and we had a good time. I didn't consider her "slutty" until she was going through the list of dudes in our social group she had fucked, and even then, it was casual so no judgment.

@WhickTv If Buckaroo wasn't on it it's physically impossible for it to be that bad

@ismail_lamie @BriannaWu Saying "hasbara" is up there with "vaxxed?" for immediate dismissal of every opinion a person has

[local user of language @helloooobyebye]

@Haddon_field @Awk20000 @theh3podcast @Twitch @teddyfresh @HasanabiProd @DramaAlert @nicholasdeorio @TheOmniLiberal @YouTube That's not true. He cries himself to sleep every time a genocidal terrorist like Nasrallah dies

@MarxoidScissors @ZackTaylorFA @sleepy_devo I mean a recession is likely but that isn't the death of capitalism. AI is the thing capitalism is fundamentally unequipped to address in my book, not Trump unreservedly fucking with the economy through braindead tariffs. Economic cycles pale in comparison to that looming threat

[local user of language @helloooobyebye]

@MarxoidScissors @ZackTaylorFA @sleepy_devo This has been said every year for the past fifty years by communists. LateStageCapitalism has been a popular subreddit since before I was old enough to know what Reddit is. Capitalism could be the healthiest it's ever been (it's not) and you would still say this

[local user of language @helloooobyebye]

The funniest part of this tweet is that this person and the people sucking them off in quote tweets are the things men encounter on the internet

[Missy Lynn #bb28 @Vessyteena]

Knowing that a whole generation of men have been ruined beyond repair by the internet and we have to deal with that for the rest of our lives

[local user of language @helloooobyebye]

@biskitisgood123 @MarxoidScissors @ZackTaylorFA @sleepy_devo It's entertaining to snark "socialism is when gubmint does stuff" and then unironically say "capitalism is when rich people" lmao

[local user of language @helloooobyebye]

@MarxoidScissors @ZackTaylorFA @sleepy_devo "Furthering exploitation" is doing a lot of work here. This is a good example of why I am not communist. Capitalism has issues, which are going to become starkly apparent in ~10 years, but communists cannot represent the tradeoffs that come with destroying it
