    Women have been fine alone for millenia dude. Men used to kill each other making it so some women would spend the rest of their lives without them. Now many of the men are chosing to remove themselves without dying. Not that I’m one to talk. But I’d rather be a painfully shy man, than an asshole.

    If a young man plans to treat my daughter with anything but respect, I’m gonna beat his ass and his dad’s ass.

    It won’t be a fight either. It’ll be a mugging. An actual crime.

    I’m ok with that. My record is clean.

    I’ll get probation. Maybe.

    My wife is like the literal definition of a “quiet and gentle spirit.”

    She could beat this guy’s ass with a tire iron but I guarantee she would do it without saying a word.

    Is this peon relevant in any way? He’s paid musk for his checkmark but over never heard of him. Does he have actual followers or just a bunch of bots?

    I really despise the women that end up in relationships with and keep supporting these guys. Way to spit in the face of every single one of your peers.

      I don’t blame anybody for staying with an asshole over being alone. For one thing, being alone really, really sucks. For another, a lot of assholes have clever ways to manipulate you into staying with them.

        Sadly, most of those ‘clever ways’ are just being manipulated from the time you popped out of the womb. Religious communities and highly conservative communities never tell you anything but that being a good person means being… subservient. It’s difficult to imagine for people who grew up and had a variety of people tell them all sorts of things, encouraging questions and learning, but it is ‘normal’ for every single person in your life to tell you the same thing and you are punished and ostracized (which, mentally speaking, can be worse) if you go against the grain in any way. Escaping that and the mentality it brings takes luck and help. Many of them will even lash out if you try to help, because of that fear of anything different that was ingrained by the group.

      oh no douchebags are gonna stop bothering people the horror

      Ohhh I wish that were the case. In all likelihood they will just get more extreme and feral and women will pay the price for the men’s insecurities and delusions.

      History is like a mystery book that you’ve read the last chapters first and know how it’s going to turn out. The colonialism done by European powers hadn’t yet happened at the time of Crusades. In fact had the various warring factions in Europe hadn’t found common cause, their religion and culture would’ve been wiped out by Muslim colonialism. Yup, the Caliphate was conquering the Christian lands in Iberia and Anatolia and colonizing them. This is what triggered the Crusades.

      The Crusades were an anti-colonialism movement, and if they hadn’t found something to unite over, then their cultures, languages, and religion would’ve been wiped out and the whole thing would’ve been a minor footnote in history. They had managed

      In the end, the Muslim colonization of Iberia was defeated (with the Spanish and Portuguese becoming brutal colonizers afterwards) while the Byzantine Empire ultimately fell to Muslim conquest and colonization. Today, there’s only a few hundred thousand Christians left in Anatolia because of assimilation and genocide. Some of that has been relatively recent… you ever hear of the Armenian genocide?

      So yeah, not exactly a clear cut good guys vs. bad guys kind of thing as popular narratives suggest. The crusades were triggered by Muslim aggression into Christian lands. While that doesn’t excuse the atrocities committed by the Crusaders, the Crusades also don’t excuse the atrocities committed by Muslim empires either. History is complex, and reductive bias towards europe=bad or religion=bad just results in not actually learning anything from history.

      the man-child equivalent of a kid yelling “I’m running away” and then not, in fact, wanting to run away.

    News flash: women aren’t the ones complaining about a “loneliness epidemic”. They’ve already learned how to live alone.

      One step further, even. Women take responsibility for their own emotions, and filling their own needs. So if they feel lonely, they create community, in friends. What I hear, when I hear “loneliness epidemic in men” is men expecting women to tend to or serve their emotions and they aren’t capable of tending to their own emotions. Like a little baby, I don’t know any woman who wants to be responsible for their partners emotions, AND their own. Because it’s not like these men are going to be looking after the womens emotions, the same.

      It’s emotional immaturity. Borderline, sometimes actual emotional abuse. You are supposed to be responsible for filling your own needs, as an adult. I feel like men have just never stopped and noticed all that women do (or ended up being socialised or forced to do).

      I just watched a tik tok that talked about women being called irrational for worrying if everything is together at the holidays, they do everything. Then if they’re walking out the door and worrying if everyone has everything, the husband says “you worry too much, everything will be fine”. Everything is fine, because she’s planned and prepared for every contingency, and it’s entirely overlooked, it’s unseen, unacknowledged work.

      And I can’t help but see the link between what has been baseline accepted / perceived as what women “do” or “women’s responsibilities” in relationships for men, predominantly all the house work, holiday planning, knowing stock levels and needs, kids / friends / family birthdays and needs, doctors appointments, clothing… I can’t understand how that became a basic expectation that one person in the partnership do all of that, and then, women are disengaging from relationships with men, and instead of looking at the environment they created for women, that they wanted to no longer be engaged in that, they doubled down and shouted about how it’s a strangers (all women’s?) job to fix their feelings, while they roll around wailing on the floor (I imagine).

      Ultimately men have been conditioned to not appreciate or see what women do, and to feel like their “manliness” is tied to how much they subjugate another person. And ultimately both of those social dynamics serve capitalism and are predominantly strong in extreme evangelical religions. It makes the rich richer if men are emotionally immature and taught to oppress women. Then women provide free labour to capitalism, emotional support, children and home. If capitalism had to make space for or compensate the work women do, raising children, it would go broke, overnight. It’s not that providing the next generation is a worthless task, it’s that the division of wealth is being hoarded by a handful of people and they violently don’t want to let go of that.

      If someone gets Knickers in a knot, because they know one woman or one man who isn’t like that, you missed my point and that doesn’t detract from my point, I’m not saying if they all don’t do this, it doesn’t hold water, obviously lots are disengaging, currently. Some in a healthy way, some not. I just find all this stuff fascinating to talk about, and the fact it’s hidden from you, you have to piece it together yourself. We’re all being collectively manipulated, on a societal level to, essentially, funnel money to a handful of people. It blows my mind how deep it goes. This whole nuclear family, is relatively new. It’s against our nature and our grain. And it’s very much not working.

      Men in general aren’t either. It’s just incels. Whenever the talk comes around to them there will always be the inevitable “but let’s try to understand their motives”. It is an ideology of sociopathy and they chose to to adhere to it, not because they are lonely but because they are awful persons.
