Man here, I hate men like this...

Actually the reason life is such utter shit and the world is spiraling into chaos is BECAUSE of the patriarchy. There is a vast majority of "normal people" that don't care about much else besides having sex and raising kids. When you've chosen to spend your life supporting a family, you don't have room to give a single flying fuck about the dangers authoritarianism, gay/trans rights, concentration camps and general cruelty governments and corporations are always comitting against the masses. Even pretending to care about this stuff can undermine your ability or freedom to raise a family in some places. This leaves the rest of us on our own to fight the obviously losing battle with all the miserable pieces of human trash that want life to be hard "because fuck you that's why/suffering brings people closer to God".

It really is the worst when shitbags like this take what could be a useful, healthy nugget of advice and paint over it with their antisocial garbage.

For all people, having a "mission" in life, finding a purpose, and having something to look forward to are all generally good things that are good for you.

Your mission that you look forward to does not need to be any specific thing that some scumbag who does not care about you prescribes.

For those of us who want families and have them, and considering that we are a social species, it also turns out that your partner, your kid(s), and your immediate environment that you can control (home) can be a pretty significant and rewarding part of your purpose each day!

It's just a part of how conservatives think that they can claim a monopoly on family values while actively destroying families left and right. Which in turn is part of their warped view of the world where to love X means hating that which is non-X.

I have the most traditional looking family you can imagine. It works great for us, and I say fuck messages like the one in the OP that say our individual paths to fulfillment must look alike.

Many of our paths DO look alike, because there are billions of us living in the same world, and that's why it's worth sharing anecdotes and advice while we shout down the "thou shalt" garbage.

not a woman but I want to partake in this event

Yea, sounds like a good plan.

Can we men please join in? I feel dysfunctional enough for the purpose as is

Civilisation sounds Hella fragile and weak.

"Malfunction" made me feel slightly sick. There's no shortage of misogynist rhetoric that paints women as animals, but this guy takes it a step further into reasoning about them like they're machines.

The gall of these guys to think women owe them civilization.

Pretty sure the patriarchy and toxic masculinity is precisely why young men are having a loneliness epidemic and some are even doing mass murders, no thanks, dipshit.

Egalitarianism is the future.

That's such a baller statement though. Guy is basically saying women will rule the world if not for the chains of the patriarchy to restrain them.

"Women need the patriarchy because, without the patriarchy, there wouldn't be a patriarchy"

Put them back in their place. Young men no longer want to contribute to society because it's all nonsense nowadays and would rather let it burn to the ground.

Being a woman is not a requirement to want to destroy much of current civilization.

It’s crazy that people like this actually exist. Like don’t you have your own problems to solve? How do you even have time to pedal this sexist garbage.

they malfunction and destroy civilizations

...much like politicians these days!

The mental image in my head is asking a lady the time and she turns and looks at you, opens her mouth to speak and black smoke starts billowing out and she starts shooting sparks at you.

It's easy to think that if half your population were eldritch horrors civilization would have a bit of trouble.

Why is this man terrified of women? He talks about them like they’re Tasmanian devils

Restore the patriarchy?

I wasn't aware we drifted.

Segregation of labor really started just recently. Go back 10000 years and you’ll find a more even split of roles. 10000 years is fairly evolutionarily negligible- we’re largely the same, aside from some immunity quirks, homeostasis tweaks, gamete peculiarity, and cultural differences.

Pluck a baby from way back and raise it today and you’ll just be raising a pretty average immunocompromised baby.

All of that to say, “women should be in the kitchen for their own good” is unsupported by an even slightly broadened perspective. I’m pretty sure Vikings aren’t coming to rape and plunder your 200 person town, bud. Hiding your wife away is just abusive.
