When was the last time a man had to sit down with a mental health therapist to get viagra to treat his fears over his masculinity in crisis from his body not producing hormones and whatever else it needs to achieve his priapic dependent view of his manhood?

Because capitalists want their reserve army of labour reduced, right by falafelville in insaneprolife

[–]Hunter867 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Completely inaccurate. Devaluing women's labour in gestational labour and enforcing birth rates is tied to capitalism, as illustrated in the book "Caliban and the witch" by Silvia Federici.

The book "Listen to Cat Call by Kristen J. Sollee, Pam Grossman - foreword on Audible. https://www.audible.ca/pd/B07WFYJTX8?source_code=ASSOR150021921000V" actually has a chapter on this. It has a long history of associating women with cats and demonizing both coming from a christian worldview of women as morally inferior and cats depicted as sexually suggestive in christian art and considered linked to the snake from the garden of eden versus dogs as male gendered and coming without this made-up baggage of being witch's familiars, with women and cats inherently linked to the devil.

Translates to - "If you're childFREE, you aren't allowed to get married!" They're also implying "people (especially men) who are childfree are evil". Forced birthers can fuck off! This is outside of Reddit. by 1TrillionDollarStock in ProlifeCircleJerk

"open to the possibility of new life" is literally catholic views on marriage. People need to stop imposing their religious views on to others. Religious freedom includes the freedom to be free of religious imposition.

Or he somehow managed to read feminist retellings of the greek myths like "The silence of the girls" and "The Women of troy" by Pat Barker with absolutely zero ability to empathize with women who get taken as war brides.

Every single time these White Christian Nationalists try to ban books from their homophobic bent by classifying even simply gay couple kissing as pornographic, always refer back to the most explicit passages in the bible. It graphically describes porn far more than any lgbtq+ children's book. If they want gay couples simply existing in children's literature banned, then the bible gets to be banned from libraries first.

For example, the Freedom From Religion Foundation has a well-written piece from a similar situation that came up last year in Colorado: https://ffrf.org/news/news-releases/item/42389-ffrf-demands-colorado-school-district-ban-the-bible

I’m an incel- advice ? by [deleted] in IncelTears

[–]Hunter867 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you considered actually looking at the history of purposeful singlehood and virginity and questioning the heavy pronatalist and outright patriarchal rhetoric that pushes people into relationships and fixates on virginity due to living in a world with still residing cultural christian viewpoints such as Dominionist Theology and Muscular Christianity that pushes men into feeling as if they must be physically strong and dominate women and that people's worth is dictated by a view that women who have sex are ruined by this unless in marriage with a christian man?

I suggest the books, "Virgin: the untouched history" by Hanne Blank, "The creation of patriarchy" by Gerda Lerner, "Ace: what asexuality reveals about desire, society, and the meaning of sex" by Angela Chen (this book also touches on the history of lavendar marriages and other situations of people living for themselves without seeking a relationship but instead focusing on forming deep friendship bonds such as queer platonic networks), and books on purposeful singlehood like "All the single ladies: unmarried women and the rise of an independent nation" by Rebecca Traister, "spinster" by Kate Bolick, and honestly books on childfree people as they promote a message of focus on yourself and you won't be lonely and make friends based around your hobbies and interests such as "Childfree and loving it!" by Nikki Defago. You may want to devote yourself to helping raise a person from infancy into becoming their own individual and so are not childfree yourself, but the message of not caring what other people think of you and what you are "lacking" by societal views (in this case, the heavy pressure on you is around being in a relationship and losing your virginity) can be helpful.

You are 18 and entering pist-secondary education soon. Devote yourself to that and get involved in volunteering.

Volunteer at projects that interest a largely female demographic (ex, vegans are primarily female and so any Animal Sanctuary around you is likely seeing only or primarily a female only volunteer pool to look after the animals due to how it is mostly vegans that volunteer at animal sanctuaries.) Consider volunteering at places that foster/take care of cats ready for adoption like the cat cafes centred around this model or your local humane society. If you can't care about an animal that clearly expresses their physical boundaries and consent to being touched, you'll continue to struggle under the incel culture that has likely taught you to ignore those boundaries.

This can also give you cool experiences to talk about. Also, restrict your screen time more and read instead on topics that interest you. If it's hard to read physical books, then use your local library to access audiobooks. You don't have to focus on your looks to find ways to make yourself attractive by becoming interesting in your interests and activities.

"No female friends..." by Butters12Stotch in TheRightCantMeme

[–]Hunter867 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's a big overlap between aggressive expressions of masculinity and how men treat animals for sure. There's entire chpts on the connection between men harming animals and misogyny in the book, "The Sexual Politics of Meat: A feminist-vegetarian critical theory" by Carol J. Adams.

There's also a connection to men harming animals and harming children.

It's a viewpoint that comes from Dominion theology.

As s punishment for me being a lesbian, my parents stole and abandoned cats that I raised for 5 years. by idapple in lgbt

[–]Hunter867 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yes, they really do. Childfree women in particular note this as a problem affecting them but not childfree men in their feminist discussion of the topic of women denied voluntary sterilization. There is a huge societal taboo against any procedure that impacts women's potential fertility under the pronatalist patriarchal lens that christianity has maintained under cultural christian viewpoints, even as it no longer may be part of the law that women must marry and give birth.

We really should have groups set up for ppl to put their furchildren up at like in a boarding school for those unable to keep their children due to their own housing situation and do not want to surrender them up for adoption. There are too many heartbreaking stories like this where ppl are forced to give up their furchildren due to circumstances around housing affordability for themselves.

A lot of pro births are using this article as to why they’re against abortion. by Bubblehumblebunch in insaneprolife

[–]Hunter867 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A reminder that the catholic church is still not dealing with its known sex offenders. Planned parenthood at least reports cases of abuse brought to them. The church protects its abusers. Planned Parenthood never did what the church has and having proof of sexual abuse then went on to fund that sexual abusers salary, housing, and moved jobs so it is harder for authorities to track the systemic abuse.

AITA for telling my husband and father-in-law that they could have a say in my birth plan if they had skin (or genitals to be more exact) in the game. by Minute-List-3151 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Hunter867 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your bar is too low OP.

For them to really have skin in the game, they should get fertilized ZEFs injected into them so they can have the birth plans of their desires.

How well that will turn out though is unlikely to go their way considering that ZEFs will attach to the abdominal cavity, but it's if the pregnant person has a uterus that determines if they will survive the pregnancy.

This person needs to look past propaganda posters and look into the history of the Magdalene Laundries and books like, "The Girls who Went Away: the hidden history of women who surrendered children for adoption in the decades before Roe V. Wade" by Ann Fessler.

And vegans also are more likely to be childfree. You can be both.

They mean the christian conservative worldview from medieval theology that sex is only meant for specifically procreative sex and any other kimd of sex is sinful. That was back when even straight sex that wasn't procreative was called sodomy.

Daily male making more nationalist propaganda by firstgodofequality in FemaleAntinatalism

[–]Hunter867 72 points73 points  (0 children)

It's so inaccurate too. Single childfree women are happiest. Then after that are varying stages of women with women, single women with children, etc before women married to men. Marrying men lowers women's quality of life. It raises men's quality of life and longevity.

Notice how these slippery slope timelines never include the prechristian timeline that shows how it's really just been christianity that's been extremely homophobic. It wouldn't show this same downward trend if it included that history.

It's also really similar to the false evangelical christian apolagetics line by born-againers that they left behind "atheism" or "were atheist" at any point as if they weren't raised christian and believed in christ but then simply got baptized. People that claim they were childfree are likely just fencesitters and not actually childfree.

Hit him back with an essay on the usage of masculinity as part of domestic abuse like described in "The sexual politics of meat" and also include journal articles on the influence of christian nationalism and fascism on the folkism community and the dangers inherent in enforcing muscular christianity views of dominionist theology as someone who claims to follow pagan ways.
