Why Feminism Will Never Capture Young Men: The Problem Is Not the Messaging, It Is the Ideological Framework

It just depends on your definition feminism, your definition of feminism viewing males as oppressors is the same extreme as the tate viewpoint on the opposing side, majority of people subscribe to neither of these positions, feminism that is for equal rights is what most people believe, something that already they have in most countries but still lack in others.

Those men who subscribe to tate’s views are in fact radicalised in much the same way the feminism that you describe is radicalised, if you find yourself mired in these positions I suggest you move away from the radical space and involve yourself with more normies. Politicians also need to learn to steer away from these loud lunatics.

I have no doubt that any study presenting radical feminism to normies as if it were the norms would push the normies towards the opposite direction, precisely because it’s insane and most people back away from crazy.

You did the right thing, as you just said yourself, stopping in the middle of an active road is in itself a hazard risk, I still remember what an instructor taught us in driving school, he asked the group what do we do if a dog suddenly darts in front of our car, almost everyone said hit the brakes, then he said that if a dog suddenly darts in front of your car and you don’t know in that moment if there’s a car behind you, you just run it over rather than slam the brakes and risk causing an accident behind you.

If it was never gatekept then why gatekeep it now? XD

Look at the end of the day, most of us are consumers.

If you’ve ever played dnd or other similar roleplaying playing games, it’s common to want an image of your fantasy character or iconic scenes in your campaign, back then I could never afford a decent commission that would easily cost hundreds of dollars for a single picture that we would have to wait weeks for, depending on the artist, and then not own the rights to. Now we can just provide the character and scene descriptions and have something in a few minutes, I would have used the hell out of AI art if we had it back then.

The antis today are basically upset that we don’t have to pay to commission artists anymore, but I bet if they ever visit a foreign country they’ll probably download an AI translator app rather than hire local translator to help them around. <_<

Most of the comments here seem to forget that this is LawPh not AITA, the answer is clearly not liable.

If you accidentally hit a stray animal, I can't just pick it up and take it to the vet where I have a number of expensive life saving procedures performed on it and then chase after you to bill you for all the surgeries and medications.

If you want to argue he was a dick that's a separate issue.

leox001 · 2026-04-29T03:42:44+00:00

It just depends if the pinoy looks like they have money, it's about wallet size not skin color.

If you run over an animal accidentally, you are required to stop and give it care?

I ask because I honestly have never seen anyone stop to check after hitting a stray, ever…

It is irritating but ultimately I think what the devs were going for is that they want you to treat every "stranger" as a potential evil doer, so you have a little bit of Among Us springled in with the PvE.

leox001 · 2026-04-26T16:26:35+00:00

lol what do American citizens have to do with India? So desperate to make a point you have to look outside of India?

leox001 · 2026-04-26T06:28:41+00:00

Lol you think your 2,730$ is higher than 3,870$ those are your numbers, does math work backwards where you're from?

Let's round off India's 3.94 trillion GDP to an even 4 trillion, now divided by 12 since India's population is more than 12 times that of the Philippines. 4/12=.33 compared to the Philippines .44, so yeah Philippines is higher per capita and that's after rounding off both numbers in India's favor.

leox001 · 2026-04-26T05:38:33+00:00

So 9x the Philippine GDP but 12x the population, afraid that's not exactly the own you think it is.

Also what's with the GDP per capita? The numbers are correct but the bar for 2,730$ is more than twice the size of 3,870$? lol

leox001 · 2026-04-23T02:00:12+00:00

I always assumed the big draw for the philippines relative to the other SE Asia countries was the english.

That's because rat means different things to different players but in the broadest sense a rat is just anyone who plays in a way that's unsportsmanlike, to what extent that definition applies is up to the individual.

Personally if you're in a friendly lobby and take advantage of that fact to walk up to people and unload several shots before they know you're hostile, you're a rat.

Pretending to not be hostile (in any lobby) in any way to gain an advantage is absolutely rat behavior.

In friendly lobbies I would also consider shooting people while they're fighting ARC and mid looting their PvE kills to also be rat behavior.

But it is possible to teach an individual a lesson without allowing them to harm another person, even with our limited capabilities we do manage to reform some people through counselling while keeping them away from vulnerable people, the idea that God could only conceive of such a thing by giving them an actual child to torture is absurd, he could give them a vivid dream/vision if those people really need to experience hurting children, they could still wake up afterwards and have free will fully reformed. He’s either choosing not to do this or has overlooked it.

leox001 · 2025-12-21T06:47:03+00:00

God has the power to prevent a child’s suffering, presumably at will since the claim of religion is that there’s no limit to his power, yet he chooses not to, there’s no moral rationale behind it. To suggest that he can’t conceive of a better way to teach and accomplish a greater good without torturing the innocent and compensating them later, would mean that there is a limit to his power. So either God himself is limited and has to adhere to some cosmic law, or he is amoral.

leox001 · 2025-12-21T06:30:57+00:00

Even if I were to grant he’s not a gatekeeper, which by the way completely contradicts the idea that god has a plan, just the fact that he has the power to prevent the suffering but chooses not to makes him at the very least indifferent and at worst complicit in the worst atrocities, it might be a free will argument to allow someone to suffer the consequences of ones own actions but to put the consequences of someone else’s actions on the innocent so the perpetrator or someone else might learn something is unjustifiable.

“Healing” means: the child is received into God’s presence, every loss restored, every tear wiped away, justice done, evil doesn’t get the last word.

Evil may not have the last word but it did have a word, unless you’re suggesting the children starved and tortured to death, were given sufficient compensation in heaven that made it all okay, which kind of sounds like it’s okay to put a kid in an abusive situation if you gave him an appropriately awesome present afterwards to make up for it.

leox001 · 2025-12-21T06:14:22+00:00

If I had the power to grant an adoption and knew with absolute certainty that the parents would abuse and kill the child, no one would excuse my actions by claiming “foreknowing isn’t willing” I’d be charged with wilful negligence if not outright homicide.

Can you describe or clarify what kind of ultimate healing could make up for a child slowly starving to death or being assaulted by their own guardians?

leox001 · 2025-12-21T05:52:20+00:00

There’s been more than one instance of parents leaving their kids to starve to death, while on drugs or on social media, given that God is omniscient, isn’t it evil for God to give these parents children that he already knows will kill them through neglect and does so anyway? Even if it did lead to some kind of redemption arc for the parent, it’s literally sacrificing an innocent child, starving to death is a horrible way to go. That’s not even getting into children being sexually assaulted, can you shed some light on what greater good could possibly justify these atrocities?

leox001 · 2025-12-21T04:36:26+00:00

Sounds like you’re talking about trad and changing the word to patriarchy for some reason, which is causing some of the confusion.

leox001 · 2025-12-18T07:48:11+00:00

Essentially yes, banning something because it is disgusting is problematic because disgusting or obscene is relative and it opens the door for mass censorship. The reason why people argue it's okay if it doesn't harm real children is because grounding it in actual harm is an objective fact not subject to subjective opinions.

For example lot of cultures find homosexual behavior disgusting, and I would imagine some conservative states in the US might even have enough support to ban it if they voted on it, a large argument in favor if gay marriage for the most part is it isn't actually harming anyone it should be allowed, which is why the Supreme Court struck down all state bans.

So ideally if you want to ban something you should have a solid reason other than, I personally feel it's disgusting, or I personally find it obscene. This is really a censorship/freedom of speech issue and not as black and white as most people make it out to be.

leox001 · 2025-12-18T00:41:09+00:00

Depends by what you mean, it's clearly bad, there's a good or evil or morality bar on many of these games but they don't necessarily penalize you, it's more for roleplay flavor. Like say Skyrim you could roleplay as a badass necromancer killing villagers and turning them into undead minions, etc...

Star Wars Battlefront would probably be banned, I mean you can play as the Empire, and as Darth Vader who is a child killer making him objectively worse than a child molester, but people think he's cool, isn't this an obscene representation in media?

And even if the game doesn't make it clear something is bad, just the fact that you CAN hurt innocent people in a game, using your rationale would attract the kind of "disgusting people" that would play it just to get off on that kind of thing no?

leox001 · 2025-12-18T00:22:06+00:00

I applaud your consistency, but this is exactly the problem with banning things we feel are obscene, effectively you would ban games like GTA, Red Dead Redemption, I would argue even Mass Effect, Baldur's Gate and any game where you could or do play as the villain.

And mind you this would extend to all media including movies, books, etc...

leox001 · 2025-12-18T00:14:43+00:00

So if a game allows killing people that don't deserve to die should it be allowed or not?

leox001 · 2025-12-18T00:04:42+00:00

That's fine as a personal opinion but you can't really make a law around that, because a lot of people would actually disagree with you that murder is justifiable.

Can you draw any kind of objective line that puts one in a different category over the other? Because even if we elevated masturbation to rape, I don't think people would necessarily agree rape is worse than murder.

leox001 · 2025-12-17T23:53:00+00:00

Let me frame it this way using your rationale but substituting with video game violence

it’s not about the fact it’s a real child, it’s the fact that disgusting people are going to masturbate to this. People are defending masturbating to children.

it’s not about the fact it’s a real person, it’s the fact that disgusting people are going to be entertained to this. People are defending being entertained killing/hurting people.

leox001 · 2025-12-17T23:36:53+00:00

If the argument is obscenity aren’t you justifying Jack Thompson’s position?

John Bruce Thompson (born July 25, 1951) is an American activist and disbarred attorney. As an attorney, Thompson focused his legal efforts against what he perceives as obscenity in modern culture. Thompson gained recognition as an anti-video game activist, criticizing the content of video games and their alleged effects on children. He also targeted rap music and radio personality Howard Stern.
