#ofc when shit hits the fan like the current us election when your choice is very important

Society tries to hide the fact that it is biological for men to behave that way and instead wants us to run after that carrot on a stick - the eventual social change of men TM (approximately will take 300 years in first world countries now LOL). If we on the other hand realized that men would never change we would behave absolutely differently and would already be free (albeit under attack) now. On the other hand when the "social revolution" will be supposedly over is WHEN NONE OF US WILL BE ALIVE - that our lives essentially are lives, that are not worth living, and the only way to justify this shit is to imagine someone in the future paying tributes to your martyrdom (classical patriarchal pharaonic preoccupation with what happens after death).

Have y’all noticed how the misogyny of young men is treated as the effects of some internet trend called the “manosphere”.

As if the misogyny of these men is somehow unique. As if their fathers and grandfathers didn’t hold exactly the same opinions when they were teens and probably still do.

There is a perception that young men are backsliding from their previously held progressive values, but I think that young men were never progressive or feminist in the first place, even over the last ten years. They pretended to have those values so they could consider themselves good people, but as soon as large internet personalities showed them that misogyny is still considered acceptable all they had to do was remove the mask.

I’m not saying that men aren’t being radicalized online, but I think that researchers overstate this to the point that they forget that our society is still deeply misogynistic even without the internet.
