I was not going to comment about this thread because I agree about people mocking Musk… then it got vile:

Musk is the one billionaire who I think would actually take his own life if he gets humiliated enough.

If only he Louie G'd himself.

Check out this weirdo:

Well, fuck..... dreams really are gonna come true! Trump & his entire admin are gonna be dead within the next two weeks (right in time for the 30th anniversary for the Oklahoma City bombing, it rhymes.) & yes, Elon....you're going down with them...

If he doesn't budge? I give it to whenever the 30th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing happened. Poetic his administration will be destroyed pretty much the same day that an attack happened because of federal stupidity! If not then? I give it til June, & that's being nice. Gangster without...

Oh yeah....9/11 2 is just around the corner...time to lock the fuck in.

User Banned (1 month): Misogynist Rhetoric

Based on my life experience, women have stepped up a lot in terms of accomplishments and men have collapsed in terms of theirs, which has created a more blatant amount of younger men demanding women love/respect them no matter how much they fail. You in turn also see a lot of increase in 'I need to find women with old traditional submissive values, REAL women!' kind of mentality.

To me, it's important to try and not be an anchor on a person's life, if nothing else, and that in itself has become too much to ask for a lot of men, they demand women to both pull their weight, but also theirs, all while considering them the dominant role in the relationship, and if I was a woman I would absolutely be repulsed by such a proposition.

Dynamics are changing, I'm fortunate to have found a nice pretty wholesome partner where we've enabled each other a lot over 20 years to succeed, for awhile I made a lot more than her, now she makes a bit more than me, but we don't really care about power dynamics, we just like each other and want the other to succeed, but it isn't always that easy.

I really don't think the bulk of women would bypass a man because he makes less than her, I think the issue is often times the man actually becomes a detriment entirely, and that isn't a dynamic women seem willing to accept, but I could be wrong.

Obviously there exist those very vapid women as well, but I'd like to hope the bulk of them aren't as such.

I think men have become depressed because they were used to being born and winning by default, being able to be the 'king' of the castle no matter what, but now that the expectation is they are actual partners and not rulers, it's created a huge ripple of problems for some types of men who simply can't step up at all.

I find from my personal experience this is true, but women are harshly making these decisions. They don't give a fuck about a guy being good to them and loving them, just that they are successful and fun enough to meet their imaginary bar for the type of man they deserve… They pretend they want romance but I don't believe it anymore, girls just want guys that give them power and security. They tend to not think of guys as actual people deserving care even when they might fail, the same can't be said the other way around for guys. I believe many guys can be with a girl they don't think is "perfect"

So I see your point of some guys just don't step up at all but I personally think women also think too black and white on those judgements and think too highly of themselves and this is what it leads to. Being single forever.

Gotta love the gender wars clickbait title. Until women start getting on one knee and proposing, how can we confidently say that they ever had the option to get married in the first place. Or if the ladies en masse flat out rejected offers of marriage because they rather stay single.

Checks out. My wife had an affair and blew up our marriage. Now I have custody of my kids and she is knocked up with her loser cokehead boyfriend.

I think there is an opposite issue of the Manosphere going on. While the Manosphere is brainwashing young men and turning them into women hating nazis and incels.

I think on the opposite side of things social media is brainwashing women into hating men and promoting divorce as a good thing. Families are being destroyed and children are being fucked over because so many women nowadays are ok with just peacing out of their marriages. Most divorces are initiated by women after all.

Hey all,
Pleasure to meet you all! My name is Night Ray and I am a huge nerd who loves pretty much all nerdy things like DND video games and movies! I am trilingual and I would like to eventually get into a creative industry and stuff. Always down to chat and stuff too! Longtime lurker too a lot of yall are really neat big scheme of things.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/american-women-are-giving-up-on-marriage-wsj.1156059/page-7#post-138154815

Longtime lurker, first-time poster. Honestly every time one of these posts comes along I read and reread them over and over again and I just feel really lost and frustrated. I really hate how much polarization there is with this kind of stuff and nobody is stopping the toxic people and as a result everyone who is normal has to suffer and get caught in the crossfire it makes me really sad. I really wish the government did more to actually address this/promote/create more third spaces and more genuine community and support for people at a micro level because i feel like that is contributing as well because the physical-digital balance is being thrown out of whack. Kind of on that level, I feel like the left needs to get better at talking to people instead of at people so like if someone is sharing they feel lost because they are struggling with feeling alone or they are struggling with something else we should try to avoid "Oh just be social or #trytherapy/#beyourself" and be like "Hey, I understand you are feeling frustrated here are some legitimate tangible communities and support who can aid you in the right direction", especially with younger folks. Like I think the ability to honestly communicate emotions makes a big impact in terms of comfort and vulnerability for a lot of folks, at least in my own experience. I think the more that people can talk to people and think of them as equal people the better.

Sometimes I feel really lost and frustrated because some people are lashing out at men at a macro level and its like "sorry i cant control other peoples actions or like 500+ years of history i am just trying to take care of myself/exist and be nice to people what do you want me to do do you want me to just not be a guy or-?". Like I got told that I was a "good one" by someone a few years ago when we were talking about a similar topic in college and that made me just feel weird/off like i am a whole person and stuff if that makes sense. And like i have read Bell Hooks and a few other writers so like i get where we are at at a more overall basis on like gender dynamics and similar stuff but idk its a topic i feel very passionate about and i feel lost in my identity as a person. Side note I know the topic of "Coddling" comes up a lot in this kind of conversation and I honestly don't see a big issue so long as everyone else is like getting the support they need to thrive(which unfortunately i don't think has been happening at a level of levels) and be heard and be seen and stuff, obviously there's a lot of space to improve when it comes to this kind of equation for everyone but I think it's something important we can strive for so that way everyone can be safer and happier and not afraid and stuff.

I am in my mid-20s and am on the spectrum and even though there is a lot of good in my life, I feel a profound terror about dying alone and want to like date people and be human/enough and stuff and i am still a virgin and have only had 1 legitimate mutual IRL relationship before that lasted less than a year. I hate how because I am a guy gender roles(lots of feelings and frustrations about gender roles I wish the left would do more to counteract them) dictate I have to be the one to initiate and like i feel like i did everything i was told to do like not approach people/be friends first and try dating apps and like i am still not enough/nothing is working. I just want to be enough for someone and have a happy mutual relationship and like be seen as an equal human being and love them and they love me back and like marry them hopefully . I am really trying to work on myself with like hygiene putting myself out there etc despite my social anxiety and lack of experience and personal struggles and like do good despite missing a lot of basic growing up milestone/social/romantic support. Sorry for the wall of text, this is just a topic that like I said I feel very passionate about.

Egg post.

Bit weird how that post is considered ban worthy but the one he's replying to isn't. Like aren't both making pretty generalized assumptions? Oh, wait. Generalisations are of course okay when it's about men.

Anyway, no idea why the left is losing young men.

but also, that all you got in you, you little bitch?

[benji]

The “High Femme” is upset people are talking about TERF bitch’s books

Ngl I dislike when this thread becomes a Harry Potter book club more than a tracker for the real world harm Rowling and the Gender Critical movement are causing trans people in the UK and abroad.

don't need you to agree, I'm speaking to my feelings and not trying to convince you of something. I'm at the point in my life where I'm able to live it fully and it's wonderful, truly. Sat alongside that though is the ever-present threat of it being ripped away and it's not some far-off issue looming on the horizon, it's one piece of law or one court case away. Currently I wonder which day I'll wake up to the conclusion of the Supreme Court case here that could govern my ability to use bathrooms, changing rooms and other basic facilities. It's been months. Separately a trans woman respected in her profession is being dragged through the courts publicly for nothing more than using a changing room at work. Universities are being fined £500,000 for pushing back on transphobia and this re-evaluating their trans inclusion policies. Trans youth have had their access to healthcare banned and new guidance promotes conversion practices. This thread isn't a series of headlines to me, they're things that materially threaten my ability to live or that of people around me.

So I don't care what Harry or Hermione did, I really don't. The point of this thread across time has been to draw focus on the material consequences JK Rowling and the wider Gender Critical movement are having on the trans community, and others affected as a result. For me, it's become the last place I want to read Harry Potter discussion even if it's centred on analysis.

So the Joanne thread isn't even supposed to be about Joanne specifically just a general bitch about women thread?

Also, isn't only one of these something that affects his ability to live inside women's bathrooms or changing rooms? He's like 40, not a trans youth.
