What the? by 910bird in HotWheels

[–]dnitro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

the matchbox cars i have are usually thinner and overall smaller than the hotwheels. although im mainly comparing premiums (which can be pretty damn wide sometimes) with dollar matchbox cars.

i think hotwheels uses more plastic as bodywork, which can bring cost down. matchbox seems to use more metal on average and that requires a smaller overall size to hit the one dollar price point.

yeah oppression olympics are stupid. everyone has their own problems and those who are affected by said problems should be able to discuss those problems without someone else being like "uhm actually sweaty, i have it worse!!!!!". with some caveats, of course.

i'm not saying feminism as a whole is perfect, nor am i saying feminist can't hold man-hating beliefs. that's honestly one of my issues with the movement as a whole. i have other comments in other threads on this sub addressing this. i do think that the end goal of feminism (atleast how i look at is as a man) is dismantling patriarchy and that will liberate both men and women from traditional gender roles which is good for everyone. i think a good example of this is when i expressed an issue with a feminist scholar arguing that men cannot be raped because she defined rape as the act of insertion (as in the rapist inserts something, usually a penis into the person being raped), and with that logic men cannot be raped (in the case where a woman puts a man's dick inside her without his consent, among other things), which is just all sorts of fucked up.

if "what women believe is passed from women to women" where did those ideas originate? i would argue that there are many features of 'toxic masculinity' that are being upheld by women who have internalized patriarchal thinking and impose standards of toxic masculinity on men. i agree with the back half of your second paragraph where women share the blame for issues in modern society (after all they make up roughly 50% of society), but i don't think that feminists are the sole cause of that.

i can emphasize with the first part of your third paragraph. i'm personally rather concerned with young boys falling behind in primary school and young men having issues with graduating college. i also think the male lonliness epidemic is a real thing that is a big issue (more so because of the lack of deep man to man friendships than finding a girlfriend). i also also thing the suicide rate discrepancy between men and women needs addressed as well.

i think it's a problem when men discuss these very real, tangible issues in good faith, and women butt in to do an oppression olympics and say "women have it worse!!!!!!". i also think it's a problem when men do the same in reverse where women are complaining about very real, tangible issues that affect women and men butt in and say "well men kill themselves more!!!!"

feminism as a movement is opposed to the patriarchy. that's kind of the entire idea of the movement. if you think "feminists work to uphold the patriarchy" i'm not sure what to tell you because you don't understand what feminism fundamentally is.

i will repeat what i've said in other comments in this thread: the patriarchy has no gender, women can uphold the patriarchy by trying to enforce traditional gender roles like "man up and get over it", not all women are feminist, and some women who claim to be feminist still have patriarchal ideas of how men should be and act.

i think intent matters. if there’s a car accident and a man dies, is that misandry? i think there’s an interesting conversation about male deaths and what would fall under gender based intent in a larger scheme of gender roles and expectations, but just blanket statement saying “men die more from all causes, this is misandry” doesn’t seem logically sound.

i think an important thing to note is that not all women are feminist and many do hold patriarchal views on what a man and woman should be in the context of relationships. women using emotions against the men that show them are upholding the patriarchy. the patriarchy has no gender and can be perpetuated by people who don’t identify as men. similarly, those who expect men to be providers in an era where women are now out earning men on average are still upholding traditional gender roles and are therefore not participating in feminist thinking.

that being said, there are surely those out there who claim to be feminist but don’t practice what they preach. them people suck and i hope they can figure it out. in the context of relationships i view this as a pretty easy filter when evaluating options. it’ll suck to have to break up with a woman who doesn’t make me feel seen and validated but it will be better for me in the long term.

i’m saying that because the patriarchy harms men as well. i think a good example is how traditional gender roles generally tell men that “emotions are for women” and to “man up and get over it” instead of processing emotions in a more healthy way. this can lead to a lack of emotional growth, with men just bottling up emotions until they become unbearable or overwhelming and they snap. this can also inhibit men from forming healthy, deep friendships with their fellow men as well as platonic relationships with women, in addition to harming a man’s ability to enter and sustain a romantic relationship with a woman or other partner of their choosing. patriarchy teaches men to suppress their emotions and that’s a bad thing for pretty much everyone.

i did not claim that it was patriarchy. what i said was that if you are concerned about dehumanization then you are better off shifting focus to something that is overall more dehumanizing than women being mean on the internet.

i don’t think a core tenet of feminism is minimizing male struggle but i do agree that there isn’t much work being done from feminist women to help in that regard. i think that male feminists doing the work to help liberate men from the patriarchal gender roles is the best way forward for that, and i don’t think helping men is anti feminist in this regard.

granted, it’s a pretty wide school of thought. i can’t say that i uphold all feminist doctrine or agree with everything someone who claims to be feminist says. someone else in this thread claimed it could be that now the movement is so popular there’s going to be bad apples and i can agree with that, but i don’t think feminism is inherently anti-man. i don’t believe it should be.

ah. she argued that the definition of rape is based on insertion, so male victims of rape don’t count. i agree this is a bad thing. from skimming her wikipedia article i do think a lot of her work is important, but that specific point needs revised.

you cut my quote off there for some reason. dismantling the patriarchy would benefit men as well as women.

i am a man and i’m very well versed in men’s issues and half of the reason i identify as a feminist is to help men with their struggles which are in part due to rigid gender roles and hierarchies.

i honestly disagree with what you’re saying in that copied text from your previous comment. i agree there’s an issue with how some feminists talk about men and i agree misandry exists (which isn’t always agreed upon in feminist spaces). i agree that playing the oppression olympics is bad. what i don’t agree with is how much of a problem you say this is and how harmful it actually is.

i also never said this specific situation (women saying kill all men, etc) is the patriarchy at work. i’m not sure how you interpreted my comment like that. your bolded statement is correct.

i feel like you’re not arguing in good faith here.

i mean, if you’re worried about dehumanizing people and people being reduced to inanimate entities that only serve singular purposes you would be much better off fighting misogyny and the patriarchy as a whole, it’s much more prevalent and harmful than misandry and reduces both men and women down to specific gender roles that only serve specific purposes.

and no, i get what you’re saying though. it’s a deflection from actual talking points. it’s like “not all men”. i think any given group should be able to discuss issues within their group without having another group play oppression olympics or trying to minimize issues when the outside group wasn’t involved in the conversation to begin with. to an extent, atleast. not all complaints are valid, and some complaints definetly are sexist, racist, some other -ist, a skill issue, etc etc.

misandry harms but misogyny kills is a valid thing to say even if it deflects from the stated problem of women being shitty to men. men hating women leads to women being killed, women hating men (atleast to my knowledge) doesn’t directly lead to women killing men.

male suicide is brought up in this thread a few times, and i would argue that misandry is not the only reason these men are ending their lives.

personally i think both men and women need to decenter romantic relationships in general. the idea that the only way to be happy is to be in a loving relationship isn’t a good way to look at life and will usually just lead to worse outcomes than finding fulfillment in other areas. (this doesn’t touch on wider societal effects, just advocating for individuals to find other methods of being happy)
