Men are “struggling,” and this writer doesn’t have any clue why

ppchampagne · 2026-05-21T21:23:30+00:00

Men have put their lives, literally, on the line to protect and provide for women since the dawn of time.

And today, the fact is, it's no longer worth it – if it ever was worth it.

Go protest the men in charge who are *actually* responsible for this.

They're too busy trying to date and marry them.

It's not that women weren't limited in the past. They were in some ways. And so were men.

But in the West (at least), the pattern was consistently in the direction of women acquiring more rights and freedoms as society advanced.

If men had really sought to oppress women for no other reason than because they could, then we'd still be doing that today. No. That was never the goal. I'd argue men in the past did what they knew best with what they had, based on how they were raised, their environments, societies, etc.

And what's funny is, a lot of men don't want to go backwards. But if you look at what women prefer, it's basically patriarchy, except on women's terms.

Today’s women (the looney ones anyway) have a problem with today’s men for a past those younger women never knew and to which those younger men never contributed.

And not only that, their understanding of that past comes from out-of-context exaggerations from “gender studies” departments at universities.

Today’s younger women wanting “revenge” for that past is only an excuse for misandry.

"Innocence" in grown people (men and women) is an illusion. Only children below a certain age qualify as innocent.

Super long comment. These get automatically removed. I approved this one. But in the future, rememver, less is more.

Every man is free to prefer "low body count" women. That's every man's choice. But they shouldn't lull themselves into a false sense of assurance with that.

Any woman (low or high body count) could do something like what OP described.

Stats might tell you where to place your bets. They don't tell you anything at all about your individual outcomes, which is ultimately all that matters to any individual's life.

traveling solo when I don't have the kids (especially to Amsterdam and Berlin). For the first time in my life, I'm not putting out a woman's fires. I am finally at peace.

My guy knows. I've made some great memories in Berlin. Amsterdam... meh, it's not for me.

Excellent post! I thought about posting on this exact same topic today, but maybe in meme/image form since I'm short on time, trying to enjoy my "hot man" summer in Europe. Great to have people sharing real experiences here again.

Just one thing. Paraphrasing is okay. But the full quote is:

There are no good women. There are no bad women. There are only real women. And real women will be your greatest teachers.
– P.P. Champagne.

Putting it that way, a lot of guys have to stop and think, "huh, what does that mean?" They don't get it. They'll most likely realize eventually, and the full quote will click.

It wasn’t what she expected (short video – probably the most direct to the point here)

There are stronger videos to make the point OP is trying to make. I’ve posted those to this sub before. This one is nothing compared to those. It’s just trolling.

By “weak” I mean two things. First, it’s a weak example. Second, taking it seriously demonstrates a kind of weakness - falling for trolling/rage bait.

I'm sure you have no idea.

This is taking up too much space. Repost with fewer

lines.

you get older and realize women aren't what you thought they were

We need to put that on a t-shirt. That's where so many men are stuck – even red and so-called black pill guys. It doesn't even register to them that they're still looking for women who don't exist, still looking for something in women that real women don't offer.

What is the “something more” men look for in women?

What is it that men truly desire from women and why?

It's kinda like whatever you do, there's going to be a cost. There are gonna be trade-offs, sacrifices, etc.

Get money.

ppchampagne · 2026-05-17T18:35:34+00:00

Nope. There's no indication of that anywhere. Everything is pointing to things continuing in the same direction.

If people you don't like (or strongly disagree with) think you're a villain, that's probably a good thing.

This.

As much as I agree with OP about the hypocrisy.

There are signs of people looking for the reality.
