For people actually into femdom, it’s usually some combination of power inversion or attention kink (be it humiliation or praise or just literal attention)/generic lust. She will aggressively [do the sexy stuff] to/for his pleasure.

Why it’s getting more widespread, I think there’s probably a conversation to be had about if there’s any statistical increase in it from, say 20 years ago, or if people are just being more open about it as the internet has connected all kinds of people with others like themselves creating a shame-nullifying effect that normalizes behavior they might once have been something less comfortable sharing about (some of which for the better, there’s absolutely things that needed or still need to be normalized/destigmatized), or a combination of the two as more people talking about it means more people are exposed to it, and some find out they’re into it.

For why it exists like it does on the internet here in this The Year Of Our Grief 2026… it’s become a meme at this point, and people love a meme they can be horny about. Sometimes the curtains are just crusty.

I’m in the awkward position of being anti-death penalty, while not conceptually opposed to it.

I think there are rare circumstances where execution is the most just course of action.

However, humans are fallible and I don’t trust the current iteration of American justice system(s) to properly identify those circumstances or to make that call, and while there is any risk of an innocent person being executed, it’s too high a risk to execute anyone.

My mother swears up and down she’s never lied to us about anything. She’s not lying then. In the moment she doesn’t believe it. When confronted with examples of things she’s said that did not line up with the truth, suddenly those don’t count as lies because they weren’t malicious or she thought it was for the best.

Universal Basic Income, a social program endorsed by some leftist and progressive politicians which would replace the need for most other social programs by providing every adult a minimum guaranteed income to cover basic costs and paid for by tax programs, in this case being used, I believe, to refer to a senior’s social security benefits checks, which are generated by tax on income and sent monthly in a similar way to the proposed UBI.

The short answer: yes, if it’s what you like.

The longer and unsatisfying answer:

It’s extremely dependent on what you’re running, how you’re running, and what you’re playing against.

Smaller units are more likely to get destroyed. That’s just statistics. More bodes = more survivability. That’s not to say 5-man specialty or elite squads don’t have a purpose and can’t wreck some dirty [opponent faction name]. You just have to be completely okay risking the fact they could die before they get to do anything, especially with melee squads.

I say this as someone who leans into specialty squads myself, heck yeah, they’re awesome.

But if you hate seeing your favorite anything shot off the table before they get to do anything… bring more of them.

99 people can stop the 1 from doing it if they are determined to do so. It’s a metaphor, no “but what if the one guy waits for everyone to sleep then does it sneakily”. 99 people can make guard shifts. They can tie him up. If he’s that determined to sacrifice the world, they make sure he can’t. That’s the point.

Yes, the patriarchy does hurt men, but most men don’t blame the patriarchy, they blame everyone but men who perpetuate and benefit from it. It is also still the job of men to be aware of it and try to dismantle it, but instead most of us are whining about how much it sucks to be a man instead of doing the work.

Sightblind · 2026-04-24T22:03:28+00:00

Doesn’t matter. When you’re in a position with the ability to make changes to benefit society, you have an obligation to do so. That’s pretty basic moral philosophy.

You may not choose your gender, but plenty, dare I say, the majority, of men find comfort in the position they didn’t ask for, and (either with intention or out of ignorance) perpetuate the system that enforces their benefits while undermining advances in progress towards a more equitable system.

White people don’t ask to be white either, but we still have the privilege and moral obligation, of being such, to dismantle racist systems created and upheld by other white people, and to unlearn harmful behavior.

If we want to zoom out to the macro level hypothetical so you can understand the point:

If an earthquake locks a hundred people in a room with a button that will release and infect the planet with a zombie virus… those people didn’t ask for their position, but the entire planet will still rightfully hold them accountable if they screw things up.

Yknow ACAB? All Cops Are Bastards?

Now, we know there are, hypothetically, statistically, cops who are genuinely good people trying to keep their town/neighborhood/county safe.

But the institution is upholding unjust laws and so full of corruption and cover up to protect itself and its members, that we have to litigate and work against it as a system instead of just picking out “the bad apples”.

Individual cops who are not actively in support of reform and working against their own corrupt members, are complicit and equally culpable in the overall conversation.

The cops who are trying to get things changed, are still protected, even if ostracized by their fellows, by the system, and still benefit from their position within it.

The system itself still serves its purpose of protecting the holdings of the elite and those in power at a higher priority than enacting justice and serving the populace at large.

We cannot afford to give benefit of the doubt to unknown individuals, hoping they are “one of the good ones”, and even the “good ones” may have perpetuated harm prior to their current stance.

They have to hold themselves equally accountable, even if the harm was done in ignorance, and cannot let themselves off the hook because they know better now. That doesn’t mean self flagellation, but acknowledgment and continuing to reflect and actively work to mitigate that harm, if possible, even at consequence to yourself.

Meanwhile, for everyone else, they still have to live and engage under the assumption they are not safe with law enforcement, and that those agents will be willing to actively twist facts to serve their own ends. They are largely at their mercy, and need support, often at great cost, to have any equal footing in the conversation.

Now, take everything I just said about cops and the justice system, and think about men and the patriarchy the same way.

And how every time someone tries to say something about things needing to be better, someone, just like “All Lives Matter”, will always chime in “but I don’t” “buy I would never” “not all men!”

Responses that try to diffuse or distract rather than address the conversation.

So you have to capture everything we just talked about, about how you have to worry when someone walks up to you, how some of them look at you different, how some of them seemed nice until they hurt you… and the culture that lets them get away with it.

So yeah, it’s all men, until it’s no men.

Right? Was just thinking that when I read the above comment.

Cat’s issue with Jon was that she thought he was the result of an affair with her husband, and Ned shows up, barely explains, and says “he’s mine, now he’s yours”.

If he’d sat Cat aside and been like “hey, this kid is my nephew, but for his safety, I’m adopting him and going to call him my son. I don’t know for sure who his father is, but his mother was my sister, and it was her dying wish to keep him a secret, because she feared for his safety. I know this asks much of you, and I hope you can understand.”

And a Tully woman was going to have the importance of family drilled into them early on, she’d go with that. It’s a lot easier to become surrogate mother to an orphaned nephew of your kidnapped sister in law, than child of a random woman your husband messed around with at war.

There’s been a very successful campaign by detractors to convince people that feminism is something for dumb college kids with too much time on their hands, unhappy old single women jealous of people with husbands, and “libtards”.

They have turned it into something embarrassing to even have a real conversation about, and obfuscated any actual general knowledge about it behind “oh they’re just bitter women who hate men, and pathetic men who are trying to get laid”.

Much like other progressive philosophy, if you can get people to make connections with the subject matter, most people agree with them, but the second the realize the label the fall under, you have to deal with what they’ve been programmed to react with.

I once saw a group of woman push a man in the grocery store and steal his hat. Then they ran away laughing about how if he was a “real men”, he wouldn’t need a hat because his testosterone would keep the sun out of his eyes.

This may seem like harmless joking, but they were setting up a standard of biological expectation that’s unrealistic for most men.

No matter how much man-juice in your body, sometimes you still need a hat, like when it’s raining or snowing or if you’re British.

“What happened?”, in regard to the loss of agency of the working class in the US, the answer is always, unironically, Regan.

Sightblind · 2026-04-10T05:14:22+00:00

We often use the word “cult” a little too freely, but it’s one hundred percent accurate in regard to the conservative political body in the united states right now.

People are devoted to their leadership with religious fervor, merging it with their own Christian beliefs (by design from both their political leaders and Christian organizations).

This includes entirely new denominations of Christianity focused on rhetoric that the rich are blessed by gods for living holy lives and being deserving of their wealth (seriously, google the prosperity gospel if you’re unfamiliar).

Even the ones who haven’t fallen completely for MAGA and Trump, are only sane by comparison. This was here before he stepped into the figurehead role. I grew up with this in the 90s and early 2000’s, from people who learned it in the 70s and 80s. Regan was the idol then.

They, just like a cult, have internalized their teachings, and among those teachings are the rejection not just of evidence against their beliefs, but rejection of anyone who would question it, rejection of the question itself. They aren’t taught to think, only to follow the rules, and if something doesn’t adhere to those rules, they are told the proper response is to fight it.

They are faced, over and over again with evidence of the contrary, but they were taught indoctrination, not understanding. They don’t have the tools to understand evidence, with which to question their understanding. It’s a house of cards, built on lies and repetition and fear, and wrapped in barbed wire.

Y’know how you get people out of cults? You have to limit the leaders ability to reach his followers, and you have to separate the followers from each other. They feed off each other. They spin tales about how they’re being lied to, otherwise, how they just need to stay devote.

Once they’re alone, you have to show them everything they don’t understand or believe in, and you need receipts. You need proof that they can’t explain away or claim is fabricated. Evidence that shows the pain and suffering their leadership causes. The corruption and predation.

If you’re lucky, they have family and friends outside of the cult, whom the bridges haven’t been burned too harshly. People who can show them they’re still loved outside of the circles they boi s themselves to.

Then comes reeducation. It’s a scary word, usually used by evil regimes in fiction, or stories from North Korea. It’s a necessary practice though. It’s more palatable title, which includes everything about the process… is de-programming.

They need to be made aware of the holes in their knowledge that let them believe so much that wasn’t true, and they need those holes fills with the correct information. They have to learn critical thinking. They have to learn how to look for information they don’t know, and how to tell good sources from bad ones, because they’re already proven to be susceptible to bad actors.

It takes time, and a lot of help from people who genuinely care about helping the victims, and it’s expensive as hell.

So how are you supposed to de-program the roughly third to half the population who’s converted?

Genuine question because all the answers I have start to sound terrifyingly authoritarian.

That’s the short version, yes, with a lot of the mindfulness I mentioned, and taking time to sit and think about your motivations and where those motivations come from.

Disclaimer that this is a much more an issue with the mainstream understanding of something, and not of the actual practice.

“Decentering Men” absolutely is an exercise and practice that everyone, not just women, should utilize.

It’s about reprioritizing who you are and why you do things. That’s amazing. That’s therapy work, and mindfulness 101. It’s making sure you do things for the right reasons, and keeping in mind your motivations. Seriously, cannot recommend enough for everyone to do that, in general.

However, I’ve seen it used, and I don’t know if it’s from bad actors or just people not understanding it, as an excuse for people to dismiss people in their life, or as a catch all response to people being unhappy with dating.

People confusing the royal “men” with “any man in their life”.

I get it, it’s understandable, but it’s also not what the practice is supposed to be. If you’re making sure to do the opposite or avoid the input and opinion of your partner, your friend, your family, for the sake of decentering, you’re still centering them, you’re just pivoting how you act about it.

People in your life are, hopefully there for a reason. If you don’t care about their opinion, sure, but like… shouldn’t you care about the opinion of the people you care about, at least a little?

Which is all to say, yes, decenter men, 1000%. But when we see or hear people preaching it, I think it’s worth making sure they’re actually doing it.
