TSG_Asmodeus (he, him)

And they’ll just downvote anything you say, because you’re the bad guy now, regardless of what you’re talking about.

I’m just curious what it must be like to be so fragile. It’s like any time they aren’t being directly supported they fall apart and lash out at everyone around them. The hardest part is watching women calmly wait out the guys’ tantrum, then try to carefully explain to him (and in a way that makes him Feel Like A Man still, ever holding his hand emotionally) what is happening and they will still freak out.

It really is just embarrassing.

There was a wave of, likely from reddit, ‘mens rights’ users who came over and this happens all of the time now. Any time a woman mentions issues with a man, it’s “YEAH BUT WHAT ABOUT” as if the things can’t both exist.

I mean look what they’re upvoting: ‘I saw a feminist say she doesn’t care about guys, I super swear guys!’

It’s just fucking embarrassing how childish they are. Not even childish, because children can learn empathy. It’s as if they quite literally have zero empathy, and can only engage in sympathy with someone who is somehow similar to them. Like should I just post this comic here, the one we all read, as a reply to these people?

Irony is completely lost upon them.

Man just going for irony right away, eh?

Whenever I do see the opposite and when the guy interjects all that’s said is “there’s a time and a place to talk about men’s issues” but like when is it then?

Probably not in the thread with the comic about womens issues being talked over by men, like you’re doing now, would be a good choice.

EDIT: I’ll eat the downvotes. Just wanted to say how embarrassing it is to be a man and hear ‘but what about men’s issues?’ used in a non-ironic way. Sorry ladies, you don’t deserve this crap. Also thanks for being the bulwark against fascism.

I’ve heard the story, and it is perfect but my brain absolutely struggles to read it. It manages to sound close while being mostly wrong, haha.

Pet Sematary, two A’s one E.

The name has irked me for ages, it’s so wrong and so famous, haha.

I’m very proud of you, it is so fuckin’ hard, and you did it :)

The same hallway for 75% of the shots.

Well, I recently lost, like, 50% of my credibility as an intellectual as I stopped smoking.

Hey, congrats!

Sadly in this day and age, it is not obvious sarcasm.

RIP Irony.

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 like caravans more.

It isn’t overly generous, you yourself said it, “…I’d still help them.”

I’m glad you like the quote, thank you again for living it :)

“10 percent of any population is cruel, no matter what, and 10 percent is merciful, no matter what, and the remaining 80 percent can be moved in either direction.” -Susan Sontag

Thank you for being part of the merciful 10%.

We don’t evolve things cause we need it… Also we keep it if it’s better and helps us stay alive long enough to breed.

Why do humans see green? Probably because our monkey forebears, who lived in trees and ate leaves, needed to distinguish red leaves and red fruit (visible to birds) from the green background.

I feel like OP covered that.

Yeah Matt Walsh (Real), answer the question!

Remember, KDR is a flawed mechanic. I’d trade a 20-2 player who farms eco rounds for a 10-12 player who gets those essential kills that win the round/match/etc.
