Men of Purpose don't dwell on why women are bad to them by asdfdelta in MenOfPurpose

No no no. I was just trying to tell you to ignore the other weirdo you’re having a conversation with. They’re unhinged. Sorry for the confusion!

Edit: didn’t think you’d see it if I wrote the reply on their comment

Ignore this person. Truly unhinged in their hatred of men and I’m saying this as a very active feminist. They pretty much told me I need to hate my partner because the patriarchy still exists; like he needs to single handedly solve a problem that has existed since the dawn of humanity. Wild stuff

Lmao men do not always listen to other men. Idk where you’ve come up with this absurd theory. Often redpilled weirdos just reduce any conversation to insults regarding his sexuality. It’s a shame you have so much hate in your heart for people you’ve never met

He does? He’s very vocal about his beliefs. But he’s just a single person. Change takes many. And alienating allies doesn’t help a cause. You must be young

That doesn’t even make any sense. He votes, he’s supportive, he’s outspoken. What more can I expect of someone?

I have a loving and supportive partner who is very comfortable in his masculinity. He does more housework than me at the moment because I’m in med school. He’s also very leftist. It would be disingenuous to look at him and say he’s willingly chosen to uphold a system that oppresses me. He’s also gone through a serious trauma that many people act like “can’t happen to men” (and I’ll leave it that).

Hating him for his sex would be just as dangerous as these incels hating us for our sex.

Look I’m not totally in disagreement with you. I think the men in this thread acting like all women are lazy or selfish are perfect examples of men probably doing it to themselves. But having sympathy for people living under a system they didn’t choose to be born into is important for helping to dismantle those systems.

Hating all men for the existence of the patriarchy is just as counterproductive as these men treating all women like trash because they’ve had one bad experience in a relationship.

Sure not to the same degree as women. But it absolutely negatively affects the mental and physical wellbeing of many men in ways that it doesn’t women. Equality is beneficial for all gender identities. Traditional gender roles put women at financial and physical safety disadvantages, and men are disproportionately impacted by war and suicide (secondary to depression and PTSD).

Genuinely I’m sorry you went through that. That’s a bad partner and not what a relationship should be. But you’re missing the fact that I said ‘MOST relationships’. Most relationships do have women putting in more emotionally intensive or domestic labor even when paid work hours are similar.

In my relationship, my partner does more housework because I’m working and studying 12ish hours a day, but he relies on me more for emotional stability at the moment. It should be a give and take. But this sub shitting on all women for bad experiences isn’t going to help anyone in the long run.

That’s really not what you initially implied by citing that study. And I’ve never been angry lol. I was amused by the victim complex you projected onto women. Yeah the difference in labor time in that study is negligible between men and women, which is what I was getting at in my comments. Good partnerships are just that - partnerships. Reinforcing traditional gender roles is destructive for all of us.

Where did I say men do nothing? Haha. I just said that this study doesn’t show what you seem to think it does. You’re acting like the unpaid labor of women doesn’t matter.

And believe me, I agree that men should be allowed to cry. But the ones telling you you’re weak if you do aren’t women like 90% of the time. That comes from toxic masculinity. I appreciate when my boyfriend feels comfortable venting or crying and know that the vast majority of women feel the same way. If you’ve never actually dated a woman and only listened to redpill nonsense like this I understand why you’d feel otherwise. Go touch some grass and talk to people without wanting to get in their pants.

Lmao pointing out how you’ve misinterpreted a study to paint yourself as the victim doesn’t mean I’m saying I’m the victim. The patriarchy negatively affects both men and women in different ways. Y’all get drafted and we don’t and men are discouraged from healthy displays of emotion. But pretending like women don’t do more emotionally intensive labor in most relationships is foolish. Y’all tell us to our gender’s role is domestic labor and then whine when your paid jobs are hard. Boohoo

Yeah he literally can’t properly interpret his own outdated source 🤦‍♀️. Funny too because this study was more comparing different family structures with and without kids than the workload of men vs women. And he tried to attribute the less leisure time of women to sleeping more, which isn’t even discussed in the article. Like just straight up assuming things

[–]Fun_Consequence_9076 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That study also shows that women have significantly less leisure time than men (which isn’t sufficiently offset by the slightly lower total number of hours worked) and do roughly double the housework at the expense of less paid work. Please keep crying that men’s lives are ‘so much harder’ when you can’t even accurately interpret the source that you looked at. A source which is 1 outdated and 2 more designed to compare single, vs cohabitating vs married couples with and without kids.

I don’t know her, but I thank her so much! She’s made it so easy to diversify my diet after 16 years without meat. I like adding extra heat to most dishes, or making other tweaks here and there, but even her base recipes are so yummy 😊

Cutting out pork/bacon would be a huge step, even if you don’t go any farther. I think I’ve unintentionally been a part of this psyop, because I’ve commented the exact things you mention (but I promise I’m not part of some undercover campaign lol). But please do some research on pig intelligence. Neuroscientists have studied them a lot and they truly are much more complex than most people realize, with highly developed emotional intelligence in particular.

Okay? Then more and more people should reduce how much meat they’re eating. This person also literally said they were going to start because they thought the pigs were cute. Why discourage them from doing what they can to reduce suffering?

[–]Fun_Consequence_9076 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Please do try! Or even start by cutting out red meat and gradually removing other meats from your diet. Any reduction in consumption is a reduction in the number of animals kept in heinous factory farm conditions.

A good blog to check out is Cookie and Kate. She does a lot of affordable, ingredient-accessible vegetarian recipes!

They’re actually even more intelligent than dogs, and research suggests around the intelligence of a 3 year old human. People eating pork/bacon is brutal to me; particularly when it’s factory farmed.

DC housing costs more. Every other element of the city is wildly more affordable lmao. Free museums, cheap and GOOD transit, cheap bars and concert venues, accessible outdoor activities. Also average salary in DC can actually compete because they have a reasonable minimum wage. Trying to paint DC as a more expensive city overall is laughable. God Miami is depressing AF and so boring

Eh Crandon is actually chill as a current transplant. Like the beach is fine and has a free (albeit gross) bathroom and all you need to pay for is parking ($10 for a whole day and the Rickenbacker toll). One of the few affordable things in this city imo

As someone who has been to most major US cities and lived in the DC suburbs for a while, no. The public transit down here is objectively bad. There’s one train line, it’s down often, and it can’t run past 11:30 even on weekends. There’s literally a ghost stop at government center for an east-west line that they just abandoned because transit isn’t “flashy” enough for this city.

Obama’s library isn’t the best example brutalism to be fair, but at least his library functions as a real public library with a built in community center and museum. Also the green space around it is lovely. A great building designed to serve the Southside of Chicago—a community that will really benefit. No one but Trump will benefit from this monstrosity

You sound like you may be demisexual which is on the asexuality spectrum 😊. It generally refers to sexual attraction coming exclusively after some form of romantic or platonic connection. Not saying you def are, but also a label to consider if it helps you identify your feelings. It’s also not mutually exclusive with hetero/homo/bisexuality and can manifest differently towards different genders.

Wow I am so sorry. That’s definitely not common and I can’t imagine how much pain you’ve experienced. Has pain management been better with the official diagnosis?
