women dominated jobs aren’t lucative typically, so nobody cares.

reason we are so fixated on tech gender discrimination is because the paychecks are larger.

not enough women CEOs is an outrage, but not enough women garbage collectors isn’t. garbage collectors make a good living…

Men who get legit raped don’t get outrage and empathy, they get a high five or called a ‘pussy’ for not enjoying it. A woman gets allegedly raped and people want to roll heads and commit murder. The blood-thirst for Cornell case is insane… even though the real world evidence points to it being another false accusation… which is precisely why it was never prosecuted…

Same with other forms of sexual assault/harassment. Men are expected to just enjoy it and ‘you’re so lucky’ is what folks will say.

this a great analysis. Also why our culture is so insane right now. People increasingly live in bubbles of gender bias and they bias each other into horrible double standards. The people who scream the most about ‘rape culture’ are the ones most likely to have committed sexual assault on men or other women, IME.

And any male support group is viewed as inherently anti-woman. Which is insane.

As if most of the content here isn’t already that.

You may just not like this particular flavor or tabloid slop, but lets not pretend most of the posts here aren’t sensationalist nonsense or editorialized clickbait headlines.

yes, because .ml folks basically live in a alt universe where america is evil and the USSR was good.

When Stalin or Mao mass murder their own people, it’s for the Greater Good.

god i love lactose infused beers

Thanks to social media, everyone lives in that country now.

how do you feel about ginger beer then?

there are different versions of it.

just like cola.

some folks like hate pepsi but love coke, and they are both colas.

God I love milk

I am a Skyrim virgin.

Be gentle with me.

If you regard criticism of your POV and leftist feminism as ‘anger’… than yeah, you are already lost and you won’t be winning any young men over to your side.

You are so ideologically captured you really cannot see how your attitude and ideology is so condescending to young men and why they want nothing to do with it. Because nothing anyone says to you is legitimate that isn’t already what you have pre-ordain to be the truth.

The problem with modern leftism of any flavor is that it totally reject the lived reality of human beings and tells them their experiences are wrong or ‘misguided’. Maybe you should try meeting people where they are, instead of lecturing them from on high about how they are ‘supposed’ to be, you might find people more sympathetic to your views that way.

yes

a lot of tech companies are operated like cults.

Right, so if something bad happens to a man it’s not a big deal, but if it happens to a woman it’s a systematic problem.

And you seriously can’t grasp why young men aren’t on ‘your side’? Because your entire reply here is trite, patronizing, and totally dismissive.

A lot of rapes and false rape accusations, never go to court.

They live in the non-legal space of he said/she said. And they still have consequences for people’s lives.

You can’t get data about things like this, because it doesn’t exist. All that exists are people’s experiences and their testimony and the fragility of their perceptions and memories.

and that is all incredibly murky and can get into very dark places of human psychology that folks don’t want to acknowledge. like how much of sexual assault and sexual trauma is tied to mental illness, and how the cycle of abuse perpetuates itself and how victims often become future abusers.

have you met tech bros/broettes?

i live in a city full of them… they very much do weird shit like this to signal to each they are more hardcore cool than the other brogrammers. like they get into bragging fights about really stupid and absurd stuff

How do you expect to reach young men when your premise is that men are inherently evil and women are inherently good?

Have you been raped? Have you been falsely accused? Have you had the threat of false accusation used to coerce you into sex?

How can you watch people’s lives ruined by popular court cases in the media, which turn out to be false accusations and dismiss them as non-existent?

yes, they both feel really good.

the problem is self-inflected oppression is socially popular and rewarded, auto erotic asphyxiation is considered shameful and weird.

used to be that self-inflected oppression was weird and shameful, but that was over two decades ago.

it’s a contest. also why people on social media make up every more elaborate nonsense to be miserable about.

and well, it gets rewarded. it gets votes and likes and shares.

i notice the folks who complain the hardest in life are usually also the most privledged and wealthy. on reddit it was always the person who had like the most expensive elaborate life who was the most ‘oppressed’ by society.

like all the weebs here whining about their $3000 gaming PCs now costing $5000 due to RAM/chip prices going up, and then ranting about how they are ‘forced’ to pirate games now because how could they possible pay $20 for a game on sale on Steam, that’s oppression.

folks on lemmy are dumb enough to think tribal hunter-gather societies ‘have it better’ than them.

because they are so ‘oppressed’ by things like medical care and processed food.
