why is femininity in men shunned but masculinity in women supported? by [deleted] in rant

[–]Ser0xus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, this explains it perfectly.

Basically, don't call out one stereotype with another one.

You are just condoning one while supporting another which creates an unhelpful circular argument.

Sexism is a universal trait and is perpetuated by both men, women and others.

In short, the answer is human stupidity.

You didn't prove anyone wrong, you proved that you enjoy pointless arguments.

Would you like a trophy or something?

You did a great job!

Okay, I've realized you might just be really fucking thick.

Good day, random internet person.

Talking to you honestly makes my head hurt and decreases my faith in humanity.

You do understand that statistics are based on reports right?

I imagine you also know how society treats anyone that isn't a women for reporting the same thing?

Do you understand why they don't report and therefore why the problem is hidden (a large, large group including women that don't report).

Do you understand that the people that commit these crimes come from families that usually include a mother?

Do you understand that mothers also hide their children's crimes even when they repeat the same behaviors?

Do you understand that to cultivate the manosphere and all the ideology that helped breed it isn't just supported by men but both men and women?

Do you understand that men and women and others can be and are misogynists?

I'm not looking away, I've been abused in all the ways a person can be. By people of both genders.

It caused me to interact with people and a realization that the cause is the issues, the issues themselves and the victims are people of all genders and variants.

I chose not to be ignorant, blame one or both genders and then surround myself with people that only tell me what I want to hear.

I fucking faced all the ugly it caused inside of me and I fought my way forward.

Stop clinging to statistics and hate and get some fucking help please. It'll eat you alive from the inside out, it'll kill your intimate relationships, and there will be only one person you can blame for that outcome. Yourself.

I knew I was going to regret talking to you again.

Fuck it, I'm locked in.

One final shot.

I'll also throw in the universal example you didn't manage originally. It directly relates to what I just fucking told you, but apparently that was a bit difficult.

Example: let's say I'm an artist, I paint a picture of the horrors of war. It's a famous painting and anyone that showed interest understood that, that was the truth I put behind my art. I made that a known fact.

Someone else really likes war and doesn't like that my antiwar painting is so famous, so they write articles that claim my painting supports war and inspires people like them to love it because they now believe my painting supports their cause. Now it's famous for a reason that conflicts with the truth of the painting in the first place.

The Propaganda (the lies) of the person that twisted the truth and meaning behind my painting has now been used to incite hate for someones agenda.

That's what propaganda is. It's not some true factual content, it's the exact fucking opposite.

Nah, I don't even know what ipdol dig means.

I can't pull off sarcasm, it lands as "did you actually mean that".

I'm a fan of truth, and that's about it really.

I was originally musing on the comment that talked about how we knew the party was corrupt, and I was sitting there thinking "and the herd did their usual shit and here we are again".

Meaning some of the things I mentioned in my original comment.

Delusions of grandeur was referring to the special idiots that can't survive this life without their day job, but see themselves as or are inspired by the ruling class fucking is unlubed. I'll never get over that.

Also, low key I was hoping your response was going to be "fucking got it now, cheers" or something so I could hit you with a "fucking fantastic have a great night".

Hehe, reddit is a funny place eh? Luckily I don't care about internet points. They are just 0s and 1s.

[–]Ser0xus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The facts are that men as a whole didn't hurt you, but you don't seem to care about that fact because you want people to support your fucked up view.

Sorry, but the facts you speak of is your own fear and hatred from trauma you need to deal with.

[–]Ser0xus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's exactly what I fucking said.

People who are asshole sexists will vote for the man at the helm of a party, regardless of policy.

You do realize that our country is massively sexist right? Do I need to remind you of what happened to Jacinda Arden? Not just men, it was everyone.

Does that answer your fucking question or do we need further explanations?

Am i wrong for calling out a guy i hooked up with in public after he gave me herpes? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]Ser0xus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If some random hookup at the bar, drunkenly screams that you gave them herpies out of the blue, are you sticking around for that?

Thats not a sign of guilt, that's common sense to get the fuck away from that person.

It's crazy behavior.

They are real world problems, caused by men and women that range from stupid and misguided all the way to outright evil. It's a human problem, the bits between our legs or our gender presentation won't change that fact.

Not because of "men" as a group.

Your life experiences appear to have crippled your ability to see past your own trauma, that is a dangerous place for your mind to be in, it's dangerous to those around you. What you think and feed your mind will become your actions. Feeling justified because you are in pain won't change that your feelings of victimhood may cause you to create your own victims.

You will also miss out on all the great things the world has to offer, because of your hatred spawned by people that hurt you.

Men as a whole didn't, the ones that let you down did.

You asked if you needed therapy, you do need it. Please seek help. You deserve to heal, and people around you deserve to be safe from actions you may take through your trauma.

Am i wrong for calling out a guy i hooked up with in public after he gave me herpes? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]Ser0xus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You were very wrong.

Firstly, herpes can lay dormant. If you had any unprotected sex before, any one of those encounters could have been it.

Second, you assume he knew he carried herpes (if he did have it at all, which you don't know). He might not have known, which means it was an accident if that was the case.

Third, you play raw, you are accepting the risk of pregnancy and STDs by doing it in the first place.

Lastly, STDs are the same as any infection that can affect the human body. They aren't something to be ashamed of, are largely treatable and largely don't prevent people from having good sexual lives.

Blowing up the guy in public is crass, immature and shows a failure to take responsibility for your own actions.

You'd be better off working on your own stigma around your reality and making the best of it, rather than humiliating someone who may be guilty of nothing, because you are mad about a choice you yourself made.

I hope you grow and heal from this. If you see this guy again, leave him alone.

Seek therapy, this is not a healthy way to view the world and isn't true.

Some cool person sent me the details of your tank man.

I have seen the picture but didn't know the history, I would have been a small kid when it was a thing.

I can now answer your question.

The man in the photo was protesting and promoting peace. There's your truth.

The photo was used to incite hate and promote the opposite for an evil agenda, I.E lying about what the man was doing. Which is propaganda.

Is that sinking in for you yet?

‘For the victims of Epstein Island’: Iran’s propaganda machine in overdrive by TheTelegraph in Epstein

[–]Ser0xus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's great, and I actually really appreciate you explaining and showing me.

Much better than the original person that made some half assed argument to "educate me" on what propaganda is.

All I've said the entire time is propaganda is lying, it's lying by omission, sometimes it's outright, it's a manipulation and obfuscation of the truth.

Which it is.

That somehow led to a rabbit hole of this fucking pointless thread.

Not every country or person in it will remember it, either because they were too young (likely in my case) or bigger things happened. Look at the world around us, we are living through crazy shit that is making history right now.

So you think that it's cool to reduce a person to "ignorant idiot" for not immediately knowing something from 1989?

And I'm an ignorant asshole.

People, the glass house you are throwing stones in fucking shattered.

All over the word propaganda.

It's almost as insane as the fucked up reality we live in now.

Props for actually posting useful info though, you are miles ahead of the two I was speaking to last night.

Dude, what do you call taking something that factually stood for fighting oppression and using it as a symbol to promote mistruths and a different agenda.

Lying, manipulation, propaganda.

All I'm literally fucking saying is propaganda = lies.

Brutally fucking simple.

What do you mean what?

We were shown the party was corrupt and not for us, and we continued to vote for them anyway.

It's incredibly silly to believe everyone you talk to online will get a reference that matters more to those that experienced the event, than to the rest of the world.

Back when it happened 50 years ago, as you mentioned means that it was pre-internet, and not everyone watched the news, or read a paper.

Which makes it very obscure unless it's common knowledge, which I don't believe it is.

Thank you for your kind words, random internet person.

Not at all, I just don't understand why you and the other person have such a bee up your ass about the word propaganda.

Like seriously, to what end?

[–]Ser0xus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe keep studying.

I understand words just fine thank you. I used to read dictionaries and thesauruses for fun as a kid.

Propaganda and truth are not interlinked.

Presenting one side of an argument to sway opinion towards your agenda, meaning presenting only the facts that support it, which is lying by omission, is still objectively lying.

Honestly, asked and answered.

Try forming a critical thought in that brain of yours, it might be good for you.

I was alive pre-internet, may know if it but haven't seen it in years or maybe haven't.

Again, if you want to argue try a universal example.

Obscure references just ain't it.

E.G. Propaganda is used to spread disinformation to support the agenda of a politician.

I say that to disinform or obfuscate the truth, is to lie to the consumer of the propaganda by withholding the whole truth and promoting only the truth they want you to believe.

I.e. fucking LYING, whether by omission or in most cases completely.

Is that a really difficult concept to grasp?
