has the sudden urge to spill the beans about his entire lovelife and the failures and tribulations experienced-
On second thought, NAHhhhhhh,....
Seeing memes and comics like this spread so often, I am having a hard time understanding how SO MANY GUYS are just now discovering that women aren't as horny as they are and we have different standards for attraction between the genders and sexes.
This is fine, it's normal, people who want different things still meet and crank out crotchfruit every damn day, you just have to compromise and meet in the middle on what you both want and ya'll have to get over yourselves.
Well my whole life there was this women's sexual liberation movement that has been screaming about how women DO in fact enjoy sex and ARE in fact horny too. Maybe that explains the common misconception.
Yep. When will people understand that the only way to a good and just society is to treat half the human population as inherently monstrous from birth? They should just resign themselves to a lifetime of abuse and isolation due to their physical characteristics. Anything else is misogyny.
I promise if you just talk to girls you will meet one who likes you. It doesn't even matter what you're into, there's someone for everyone out there.
This isn't about me, it's about a shitty, abusive message being repeated constantly on social media. Thanks for pulling an imaginary biography for me out of your ass, though. Really helpful.
Nobody here is fooled by your angst-ridden spiel, you don't get how easy it is to see your intentions and feelings based on what you say, this is one more thing to keep in mind when trying to talk to women.
You very clearly see something about yourself in this message. Especially since you're being so reactionary about it. The fact that you're so upset about how certain women view men is your own problem. Not theirs.
"This harmful generalization is bad for society"
"Clearly you only feel that way because it actually describes you personally"
Not only is that an unfair assumption, it's also irrelevant to their claim.
Their claim is inherently irrelevant and reactionary. They were reactionary because they felt called out.
Again, you cannot assume that they chose to call it unfair simply as a self-defense mechanism. Imagine someone accused your family of being murderers, then said the only reason you would be upset by that is if you really did have murderous proclivities and felt self-conscious about it.
And frankly, even if that was their entire motivation for calling it unfair in the first place, it does not mean they are wrong.
I don't have to assume, it's literally proven by their comments. It's the same for you since you're all over this thread moaning about the fact that women dare be scared of men.
Also you're example is ridiculous and asinine. An actual example would be like if a white person was complaining of white discrimination on a post condemning systemic racism. The fact that you felt the need to say anything says everything I need to know about you or OP.
This is Lemmy so they're probably all the same person, worth keeping in mind.
How can you think it's proven as the only reason for their objection? And why do you think I'm a threat to women? Just because we've both been saying it's bad that men have this unfortunate stereotype?
At best, you would still only have correlation implying causation. But seriously, nothing in these comments shows your accusations as reasonable, let alone true.
Because you're sealioning all over this thread. All because, again, a comic dared imply women are scared of men. I also never outright called you a threat, but given these comments you definitely are.
This is EXTREME hyperbole like I've rarely seen before.
Is all empathy secret projection for one's own insecurity? Or only when the empathy is for someone who isn't a member of a traditionally/systemically victimized group?
I'm apart of the don't be a shithead crowd. Apparently a lot of men in this thread aren't. And you all wonder why so many women are so terrified of men. You can't even empathize with the fear and abuse they face at a systemic level.
I do. I empathize with it completely. I'm not even saying that condition is WRONG. But I AM saying that turning someone's lamentation of the situation into an attack on them is crass. It's possible to acknowledge the bad situation one group is in, and acknowledge their actions are reasonable, while ALSO being sympathetic about the collateral damage of the situation.
Rather than focus on the very real and legitimate issues at hand, they made it about themselves. Complaining in the thread about how they're being targeted as a man instead of having a modicum of introspection about why so many women feel this way. I don't respect or empathize with such a position.
Obviously you have a whole imaginary version of me in your head that you can carry on an argument with, so there's no reason for me to waste any more of my time.
Just calling it as it is.
