    This is what I don’t get about the manosphere movement.

    Young guys watch these influencers being abrasive macho dorks, talking exactly like this. They somehow combine that “dorky, petty semantic minutia” argument style with being aggressively condescending and being a macho jerk, all at once. I’m a pretty isolated guy, yet it’s amazing how grating it is to me.

    And men watching these influencers conclude that… other people will appreciate that?

      Things are already equal. Toxic masculinity comes from toxic femininity. Toxic femininity comes from toxic masculinity. It’s been like that forever, but we raised the living standard enough so now we can argue about this with our excess spare time.

      Also, it is another way of divide and conquer to make sure that we keep fighting each other and not the billionaire class who needs to be defeated if you want to have a world in 20 years from now.

      The quantum head fuck Is that men and women have always been equal in a weird way and at the same time equality can never be achieved because giving birth was given to one of the two sexes and not the other.

      When it comes to class warfare, equality can be achieved.

      Because while intelligence and skill and talent may not be equally distributed, the right to live is.

      Because the other side tells you that you suck and your problems are not real.

      If you are a boy and you look around one side blaming you for all of societies ills and the other simply is not what aide are you going to gravitate to?
