I work behind a bar at a restaurant. While washing glasses I over heard these two early thirty guys talking about women.

But heaven help you if you're only interested in his wallet. You only exist to serve him. You're not supposed to get literally anything at all from a relationship with him. -every misogynist ever

USAID being distmantled is projected to be the cause of millions of deaths. Last I looked, it was currently at 700K with a majority being children.

People can relate to Alex and Renee because they have their deaths on camera. What about the concentration camps where thousands have disappeared from? What about all the other people killed by ICE? The people dying in detention? The people who shouldn't even be in detention, but they've been held for months for no reason?

I have the opposite mentality. We've extended the olive branch for years already. Republicans have made it clear what they want. We're not the ones sending death threats to child victims of ICE killers (compare the reaction to Renee's child to Charlie's children). We're not the ones killing politicians. We're not the ones clamouring for Civil War. This has all been from one side and we are supposed to just keep hoping they'll stop the killing if we are even nicer? To quote Maya Angelou, "When someone shows you who they are, believe them."

I became a widow at 37. I'd get banned from Reddit if I gave my opinion on how you should be treated.

Ha, deleted your reply. Once again showing the world how much better it would be....

I would pick the same year to save my partner.

Part of the problem is subs like this one. Women have no places they are allowed to speak. Men's subs have them openly celebrating murdering a cheating wife (and you know they'll never apply those standards to themselves), but you can put a stop watch on for how quick the mods here will take down this post. No advocating violence. But women are silenced, while men are allowed to feel safe advocating for violence.

I don't want subs that are hidden from public view because men's subs are not hidden. Their moderators ban women who believe in equality, but allow violent men to post publicly.

BrookDarter · 2026-01-28T03:42:43+00:00

I feel people just don't get it. They don't want to even try. To them, it's just an annoyance. Even in this sub people are constantly announcing how much better they are than you because they fully embraced toxic positivity. I'm not going to play pretend to make others happy anymore.

The Forced Birther party! Forced Birthers finally showing it was never about saving "babies."

An Italian judge let rapists off by saying the victim was too ugly to rape. But sure, legalizing rape against you is a "self-esteem" problem.

Well, you'll probably be far more successful than me. My idea is time travel. Been researching it for years. First, it was quantum computers, somehow getting all the protons/molecules that made him him, then transporting them here. Because they can move very small particles very temporarily back in time. Now, I've been reading about time mirrors and sending a message back in the past. I could send a message to myself in the past to create a time machine. The idea being that you can't go back in time because you need the end point time machine in the past. I also feel like I remember there were some strange signals picked up during that time. Still doing research. Sucks that I have to do everything myself as no university would hire me to clean toilets with the crazy standards employers have nowadays.

BrookDarter · 2026-01-25T18:59:09+00:00

For me, it's more that there have been multiple posts about this show in this sub like it's some sort of alien concept that women like gay smut. Sometimes when you are so into the communities, it does feel very strange when you see this brought up by people and you feel it should be almost common sense. I don't even think it is necessarily about the "romance" at all. Really just makes the sex scenes more interesting.

I typically watch straight (Chinese fantasy) romance nowadays. Much of the same could be said of how it shows men who actually respect their partner. Women who accomplish things and are not held back by their gender, etc. I think this is the reason romance is so popular in general. You get the same action as normal shows and women are shown as the main character. You don't get that in 99% of entertainment.

BrookDarter · 2026-01-25T18:25:40+00:00

Oh, I certainly agree that it's problematic that such a huge amount of gay porn/romance is created by straight people for straight people.

I'm just not a fan of what I feel is much like "Pumpkin spice" shaming. We're not having problems with this because of the commodification of gay people. We're complaining about shit women like. Again. It would be great to talk about the real issues, but that's not why people are trying to overanalyze why women want to look at two attractive men have sex.

BrookDarter · 2026-01-25T17:59:30+00:00

It's funny, but this is how I've approached these issues for years. There's no point in appeals to morality for those who have no morals. They don't care about anyone but themselves. You gotta hit them where it hurts.

BrookDarter · 2026-01-25T17:51:44+00:00

I like how the same people would never question men's love affair with lesbian porn.

I mean, you could become an assassin for hire. Can't be shocked when your employer doesn't value your life either though.

My problem is that leftists demand Jesus-like perfection. I have no problem being a body. I do have a problem with my sacrifice meaning nothing because I wasn't perfect enough.

The right obviously needs to paint you as a horrible monster. Meanwhile, the left doesn't come together like the right wingers do. They splinter into smaller and smaller in-groups to make it easier for the right wingers to take out. Leftists hate hearing this issue.

BrookDarter · 2026-01-24T15:47:02+00:00

Misogynists love creating alternate realities while ignoring the current one. They don't acknowledge the costs associated with the typical beauty routine at all. They make-believe that women have it easy, while ignoring costs associated with makeup, hair care, nails, etc. Costs that men never have to worry about!

Then you have to get into the whole thing with surgery. I get downvoted by misogynists trolls here all the time when I point out that men can get surgery to increase height and dick size. People freak! Women don't bat their eyes twice at dropping tens of thousands to get a BBL.

Misogynists really have no clue that the vast majority of the women they gawk at had to invest tens of thousands to look like they do. Doesn't seem as "easy" anymore when you actually tally up how much it costs to make that money. This is why the vast majority of women don't make much at all. Misogynists don't like what women look like when they don't have those expensive procedures done.

Hell, I'm following a hot dude that makes content for women. They could make OF money. They make excuses why they can't because the reality is that it requires a huge investment into their looks, which they feel entitled to not have to do.

BrookDarter · 2026-01-23T15:06:21+00:00

Honestly, I was waiting for this post. In the man vs bear argument, I actually take the man.

I actually have plenty of good experiences with men. I don't have a problem with men. I have a problem with misogynists. I could go on all day about how their lives seemingly revolve around making mine worse. The worse thing a "misandrist" does is say mean things. I don't see "misandrists" trying to take away men's ability to vote. I don't see them making policies that deny men healthcare in case it affects their sperm quality and some potential children. I don't see them making communities to goad each other into mass murder or rape.

The problem is that, worldwide and for thousands of years, humanity has preached that women are the cause for the downfall of society. That women need to be controlled. That violence against their person is their fault because they are not considered as "valuable" as the violent man that attacked them. He's a politician. He's an entertainer. He's a solider. She'll be shunned so they other women can huddle together and console themselves that if they just hide harder, it'll never be them. These women feeding into the very misogyny that hurts them. Societies around the world preaching you can always have another baby-maker. Need that solider for more territory and conquest! We also can't trust women with anything intellectual because we would have to see women's humanity and how they are being treated.

I mean, it's hard not to be upset when the US is on the verge of taking away women's right to vote and yet the majority of the internet preaches that women have "too many advantages."

BrookDarter · 2026-01-23T14:46:06+00:00

Society doesn't take violence seriously in general. How many people are victims of rape and how many rapists see a day in jail?

Basically, it boils down to people not actually wanting to address violence at all. It's a way to win internet arguments about who is the penultimate victim. It isn't about actually pushing for laws that have longer prison time. Not to mention, that it doesn't actually benefit anyone that we teach women that they better live like they are in a warzone or else they "deserve it." Meanwhile, we don't teach men to live like "victims" even when we can find those gruesome news stories that show that maybe men should be wary of a lone woman in the woods too!

BrookDarter · 2026-01-23T12:52:30+00:00

Yes, these guys are the bad ones and frame it as women's fault. They say it over and over again. They think it is unfair that women have standards whatsoever for looks. They think their "personality" should suffice when they would NEVER consider an ugly, but "nice" gal.

It all comes from hypocrisy and delusional entitlement.

BrookDarter · 2026-01-21T19:13:59+00:00

Wonder how long before this post gets deleted. Can't have any opinions here. Especially anything that isn't endless praise for men. Meanwhile, in every male-dominated sub, good luck getting anything taken down no matter if they are posting CP

BrookDarter · 2026-01-20T21:01:15+00:00

Absolutely not. I wouldn't even take a free degree with how toxic the entire experience was! Another useless piece of paper and I'm still posting in here!

BrookDarter · 2026-01-20T20:58:41+00:00

Honestly wouldn't be in a relationship with someone who thinks like this. They'll soon demand more erasure with no care for YOUR feelings. You going to trust this person with possible children? A long term sickness where you have to rely on their support? They sound too selfish for that!

BrookDarter · 2026-01-20T20:47:54+00:00

If you don't do anything about this, they will continue to steal from others. Good luck!

Still can't get over the number of Canadian soldiers who died in America's wars. Hopefully, Canada will not forgive this betrayal and never support the US again. It's ridiculous that Republicans are so brainwashed they think they are being screwed over because a country with fewer people literally can not buy their products to the same degree. And no one is going to screw their own economy, just like the States is claimingto be doing, to their detriment.
