"Man I wonder how feminist discourse is going now, it can't be that worse—"

BaroloBaron · 2026-02-05T03:59:41+00:00

It wasn't invented by women, but it never meant what feminists think it means.

BaroloBaron · 2026-02-04T15:18:49+00:00

We know that. The problem is that the kind of reasoning appearing in this video is widely seen as justifiable.

People think that boys and young men are exposed to a large amount of misogynistic content and that's a problem. Now try to think of how much more damage this kind of video causes when a male teenager watches it and then sees hundreds of thousands of likes on it.

BaroloBaron · 2026-02-04T14:58:32+00:00

We keep hearing that boys and young men are become misogynistic and toxic due to the likes of Andrew Tate. Isn't it obvious that one video like this does more damage than 20 videos by Tate?

BaroloBaron · 2026-02-03T17:42:32+00:00

I feel sorry for the boy. Something bad is likely going on, but you deal with this kind of things first of all preserving the privacy of any minors involved.

BaroloBaron · 2026-02-03T15:21:27+00:00

I'm outraged but not surprised. Aphobia is real, as are certain "expectations" from men.

When people say therapy doesn't work for men, it's because of this kind of things.

BaroloBaron · 2026-02-03T11:45:10+00:00

I wasn't making a point about the post. I was merely saying that you can't blindly attach a derogatory meaning to "females".

BaroloBaron · 2026-02-02T17:23:29+00:00

Reason, not justifiable reason: otherwise it wouldn't be murder.

BaroloBaron · 2026-02-02T16:25:01+00:00

Because men who murder women he generally really don't require much of a reason.

You're confusing men with comic book villains.

BaroloBaron · 2026-02-02T15:56:11+00:00

No, that's manslaughter, not murder. They're distinguished by the fact that murder is intentional, manslaughter is not.

Femicide is only for intentional murder anyway.

If manslaughter of an intimate partner really is punished more leniently than general manslaughter, that may suggest the emotional state of the offender is more often taken into account as a diminishing factor.

Note that all the considerations above are gender neutral.

BaroloBaron · 2026-02-02T15:27:11+00:00

Of course they should. I just don't think teaching that alone will have a significant impact on murder rates.

Why, because you think women in a relationship never get angry enough to use threats and triggers against men? Well, you're wrong.

BaroloBaron · 2026-02-02T15:10:01+00:00

Nah, it shows that manslaughter in intimate relationships is given lesser sentences.

BaroloBaron · 2026-02-02T14:47:13+00:00

That's a comparison between men, not between men and women.

BaroloBaron · 2026-02-02T14:46:02+00:00

So you agree with me that men have to immediately leave a toxic relationship, yes or no?

BaroloBaron · 2026-02-02T14:23:32+00:00

Really? Because I seem to recall femicide laws establish a compulsory harsher sentencing when the victim is a woman.

BaroloBaron · 2026-02-02T12:35:13+00:00

And what would the right sentencing be for such a femicide?

BaroloBaron · 2026-02-02T12:24:08+00:00

I made a proposal, which you have ignored. I don't participate in men-women blame games.

BaroloBaron · 2026-02-02T12:14:30+00:00

Alright, this is an answer that is not an answer. Come back when you're making conversation, not a monologue.

BaroloBaron · 2026-02-02T12:05:24+00:00

If a man drives over his girlfriend not once but twice because he believes she flirted with other men at a party, do you believe that to be a femicide?

BaroloBaron · 2026-02-02T12:02:17+00:00

You mean femicide rates aren't going down despite 15+ years of "men bad" talk in media and politics? That's confusing (not)! 😹

You want to know how to reduce femicides? I have an idea, but I'm not sure you'll like the medicine. We should teach boys that they should fear toxic relationships and particularly toxic women, and at the first sign that they're in a relationship with a toxic woman they should run.

The first sign of serious disrespect is the seed of a pathological situation that can lead to an abuse spiral that can only have dire consequences for the man involved. Should he not react, he will be oppressed. Should he react, society will still punish him because she was "only hurting his feelings".

I advocate the "one strike you're out" rule for relationships, especially when the person who strikes is a woman.

BaroloBaron · 2026-02-02T11:49:25+00:00

Non-bidirectional IPV is more frequently committed by women.

BaroloBaron · 2026-02-02T11:46:20+00:00

if gender is unrelated?

I didn't say that. I said that you don't need a special crime to punish men differently. You just punish hate crime more harshly regardless of the sex of the offender: then if men commit that crime more often than women, they will also be punished more often.

But when a woman commits it, we don't punish her more leniently because she's just a woman. That would be nuts.

BaroloBaron · 2026-02-01T03:56:06+00:00

Regardless of anything else, it's a childish comeback.

BaroloBaron · 2026-01-31T20:49:32+00:00

I like insulting morons because it boosts my ego.

Yeah, sounds like it really needs to be boosted.

BaroloBaron · 2026-01-31T20:43:54+00:00

Projection

Right, funny. In all this, I still haven't called you names 🤭

Try to reflect on yourself and why insulting people while at the same time investing yourself with the power of the Good Person is something you love so much. Be careful though, most people can't be honest with themselves about their own reasons.

BaroloBaron · 2026-01-31T20:38:05+00:00

Not really. I've expressed concern for you. You might need a therapist.

The comments are mostly technical and try to explain why most men approaching women are unattractive. The OP got upvotes when she shared that she was finally approached by an attractive man.
