What a stupid thing to say. Either you didn’t read my comment or your reading comprehension is shit.
- Comment on Anti-acknowlegements 1 week ago:
So…you also want us to feel sorry for people who chose to sign up to be a soldier, knowing what that would entail? There are also women who died or were maimed or abused in war. Not as many, because not as many women chose that (or could choose that).
That’s kind of the point, someone can make a bad choice because of poor education and prospects, but another person is given no choice. I’d argue the person with no choices is worse off. Men have historically denied women the right to choose and I see that attitude is on the rise. Its unhelpful to say ‘what about men’ when talking about the struggles of women and marginalised genders.
Not that male struggles aren’t important, but its exactly the same as when a marginalised race says ‘black lives matter’ and a white person says ‘all lives matter’. The latter is true, but doesn’t need to be said - everyone already agrees. Noone is trying specifically to take rights away from men, and definitely not women. Its not just the patriarchy that fucks all people, but capitalism. Women’s issues go beyond that because people also in a state of being fucked by patriarchy/capitalism are hurting them specifically because they’re women.
I do think that if decent people can try to understand the different struggles and be allies for each other, that’s how we all win. It’s just that given the fact that when so many women are being harmed by men, is it surprising that a lot of women are untrusting and even hostile? Like the 4B movement. Its bad enough that there’s still a gender pay gap, that CEOs are rarely women etc. They’re seeing their hard won rights dwindle away in real time.

I have empathy for men, in fact all genders are experiencing all of the issues you had mentioned as specific to men. I mentioned conscription because that’s something which hasn’t happened in the west in the lifetime of most men alive today. I might as well complain that women can’t vote. Why don’t you have empathy for women who can’t vote? You know why women usually don’t usually fight in war? Because men don’t just try to kill them, they use sexual violence against them. Not just the enemy but their own comrades.
I don’t know if you realise but women also wage slave and for a hell of a lot less money usually. They’re cleaners, carers, doing the dirty jobs noone else wants. Then they often go home and take care of their kids and chores -women’s work. All while getting zero respect from society. And if the man leaves for any reason, she’s a single mother and therefore worthless. If you want to learn, watch the maid. That’s a good example of a woman struggling against the patriarchy. The father of the kid in that show is struggling too and I do think he deserves empathy but I see who has it worse.

Oh, have you been sent to die? War duties are irrelevant for most men. The last conscription in my country was WW2 and women died then too, as nurses near the front, in the blitz, as spies, etc. All genders join the military now.
Meanwhile I think the conviction rate now, in 2025 for rape of women by men is 1%. That means you won’t get justice if you’re a woman reporting a serious crime. Women in america are dying because they can’t get healthcare for their miscarriage and pre-teen girls forced to carry their rapists baby. On shitter dickheads openly gloat ‘your body, my choice’ with no censorship, because abuse of women isn’t censored. Andrew Tate. Not really the same situation for men and women, is it? Women aren’t causing men to commit suicide but men are still controlling, belittling, abusing and killing women.
If you’re actually against the patriarchy you have to realise that it fucks women over way more and always has. We’re only seeing a backslide right now, and I suppose women in the west are lucky they aren’t in a country they would be stoned to death, or not be allowed to be overheard talking, seen inside their own home, etc.

Normalise this. In the past women would have been accused of being unprofessional to have called men out like this. That’s the only reason why every woman doesn’t do it.
- Comment on Anti-acknowlegements 2 weeks ago:
True, the patriarchy harms everyone. Sexism against women harms them (even kills) from interactions with men, negatively affects education, career, even hobbies. Leads to medical bias which also may kill them. Leads to them being trafficked and used as sex slaves. Experience female genital mutilation.
Andrew Tate is a hugely popular figure amongst young men. Those men are being harmed by the patriarchy but don’t realise or maybe care as they’re too busy harming women. It’s not the same for men, they’re massively privileged compared with women.

- Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? 3 weeks ago:
I guess they’re right about that. They’re feeling tough now but I doubt the US will like to lose the perks of being our daddy. If this shit continues I’d stop sharing Intel, remove US bases from Europe, make new treaties (including nuclear) covering Europe’s allies and trading partners and give the US the freeze until a sane administration is in power and they can keep their house in order. This is actually a positive since the west has been complacent. No more involvement in shitty US conflicts has to be a bonus. You know, in Europe we haven’t been at war for almost the whole of our history like the US. We grew out of that long ago and only followed our ally the US into their asshole conflicts. They did enough good in the world that the evil was kinda balanced at least. Yeah, that’s over.

Good news but he could last for years and I really can’t see Trump allowing it, assuming he’s still dicktatortot
- Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? 3 weeks ago:
The thing is, it’s not total rubbish. The problems are real - rust belt decline, life is harder for Americans than it was in the past. America is more protected from Russian aggression than Europe. He doesn’t seem to realise or care that the reason for that is because we trusted that the US would have our back and its not like the us wasn’t getting anything in return.
It’s just that these truths are mixed in with lies - immigrants are the problem, tariffs will fix anything, that if america abandons it’s allies and its promises (over protecting Ukraine after they gave up their nukes), this will lead to a better long term outcome for America.
Trump is too dumb to understand subtlety and he’s being played by multiple bad actors, domestic and foreign.
