You blame men for everything wrong in your life.
Like what? What have you seen me blame men for that’s wrong in my life?

I’d love to know the thought process that got you to that conclusion.
You quoted a post by me asking the poster to describe a time he actually experienced being told he had to be around women. You responded with “the military.”
Were you answering on his behalf? I could only assume you were describing a time you wanted to be around only men and were told you had to be around women too.

My theory is that the US lost many of the best of the best men in WWII, and that shallowed the (white) gene pool significantly. Many of those young men that were among the most physically gifted, and had leadership ability, were often the ones killed.

Which specific fact are you disputing? Men don’t comprise most of government? Men don’t own/run most businesses? Or men don’t possess most of the capital in the world? Which are you claiming is incorrect?
This question is answered in detail in the post.
What am I supposed to conclude when you do this sort of thing? I only can see three choices:
1. You didn't read it
2. Your reading comprehension is very poor
3. You are pretending to not understand so as to mischaracterize what I'm saying
I don't really want to assume the 2nd. I've seen you do the third many times. You just did it to Roger in the previous page.
But in the spirit of charity I'm going with the first.

The US “only” lost like 400K killed in WWII. Compared to the rest of the world we took very light casualties

The opinions most people share on this board are very moderate and reasonable.
One of the very popular opinions here is that women should lose the right to vote.
You may agree with that opinion, disagree with it, or have no opinion on it. That's your subjective prerogative.
But objectively, there's really no way to characterize that as a "moderate" opinion.
And that's just one example.
The newest Trump tariffs are not moderate policies. DOGE is not a moderate policy. Withdrawing from NATO isn't a moderate policy. Ceasing to support Israel as a foreign ally isn't a moderate policy.
Note that not being moderate doesn't mean they aren't good policies or that they shouldn't be enacted, or even that they aren't "common sense."
The definition of "moderate" in a political context is essentially being approximately midway between the extremes and being willing to compromise.
Ask the board what their compromise is on those issues.

Humans are social creatures. The rise of technology has connected us while also increasing distance between us, too. Men, it seems, do not make new friends as easily as women do (in general). It seems lots of men (and women, but we are focusing on men) are rather isolated and lonely currently. Removing a sense of purpose for their lives (through unemployment, increased financial barriers to higher education), and we land here.
There isn't just one factor that has created this time bomb, but technology is at the top of the list.
Also on the list, which may have been mentioned above, is the erosion of the nuclear family (intentionally) and then there's the issues in the article which I think are more symptoms than causal factors.

Yes, in the context of the current political climate.
In the context of the societal climate of 1840, giving women the right to vote would have been the radical position.
Like in the movie Lincoln when someone suggested that allowing black men to vote would eventually lead to women voting and everyone laughed at the idea.

I disagree that your post supports your claims.
Business equity is not the only form of capital.
88% orders US billionaires are men.
My reading comprehension is fine. You are using an extremely specific and limited data point to justify a very sweeping generalization.
>
Men have made up our government either entirely or primarily since we’ve had a government. That’s just a fact.
What does this even mean? It seems like just a convenient and vague scapegoat. What do you define as feminism?
You keep talking about women claiming they are the same as men but this is not a talking point I’ve ever seen a woman espouse, excluding mentally ill trans people which is a very small and fringe segment of the population (despite the large amount of attention given to them here).
What did the men do? You’re missing the point by arguing against socialism even though I haven’t made a single post advocating for a socialist government or economic system. You view women as slaves. We exist to do what men require us to do and nothing more. If women are required to work outside the home, that doesn’t mean they are absolved from any of the responsibilities of parenting their children and husbands and keeping everything clean and the fridge stocked. Whether or not you want to argue about causes of this, men out earn women. They are physically stronger than women. They hold the overwhelming majority of positions of power and always have in this country. Yet, women are blamed for… everything. Men are the victims of women. Men are killing themselves because of “feminism.”
Your 900 word post about how powerless men are just proves that men are incapable of accepting responsibility for anything.

The book Bowling Alone covered several things we see today.
Church Attendance and membership is down
It's below 25% today.
Church hopping is much more common, as is online attendance.
The decline of Veterans with their shared experiences, G.A.R, VFW, AmL.
The decline of civic organizations like the Boy Scouts, Lions Club, Elks Club.
The loss of ethnic neighborhoods during the flight to the suburbs.
But what isn't often as mentioned.
Intentional planning design with larger shopping districts based around cars instead of the more natural hub spoke and wheel that congregates the surrounding areas into reoccurring proximity.
Suburban sprawl naturally reduces the occurrence of contact between the same people who live near each other.
Once people leave school, the really only have work to form close friendships.
Of course modern workplaces heavily frown on any romantic relationships in the office.
Considering all of that it's not shocking both friendship and romantic relationships have heavily moved online.
To the detriment of both.

People who are 20-24 right now spent all their adolescent years hearing about "toxic masculinity"
Everytime I hear this term, I think of that 2-bit phony lesbian soccer player who had her "15 minutes of fame" a few years ago. That stupid POS couldnt open her mouth without uttering the term "toxic masculinity."
I'm glad she finally got too old to play and lost her platform. At least, I know that I haven't even heard her name mentioned in at least the past 2-3 years.
PS - I'd be interested to see the breakdown between white men and minority men. A minority male, especially a black male, still falls under the umbrella of political correctness by virtue of race.
But, it's 100% open-season on white males, unless theyre homosexual.

Or maybe that should log off the internet and learn to negotiate the real world. and interact with people. Maybe even learn how to get a girlfriend.

Never said it was. Those were listed as two different points (because YOU listed them as two different points and I was responding to you). You claimed that men own the businesses (one point) and men have all the capital (a separate point). I gave you statistics on the first one and the second one is self-evident in the popular phrase, "The 1%."

It's really not. See above.

No, that's exactly what YOU are doing. That's the whole point.
What you're doing is the direct equivalent of making this statement:
"Teachers abuse students."
And I am saying "Teachers" do not abuse students, a very small percentage of teachers abuse students.
You are the one generalizing to all men. I'm arguing the opposite.

Well, teachers have sexually abused students for as long as there's been schools. That's just a fact.

What does this even mean?
Don't act like a simpleton, you know exactly what it means.
Feminism is a very specific ideology and ideologies that are widely accepted influence behavior and this particular ideology has inspired behavior and beliefs that have resulted in both men and women becoming less happy in a society in which they should be much happier than anybody who ever lived before them.
quote:
You keep talking about women claiming they are the same as men but this is not a talking point I’ve ever seen a woman espouse
Then you know nothing about feminism. I suggest you read Simone DeBouvior's seminal feminist tome "The Second Sex," which is widely considered to be the line of demarcation between 1st and 2nd wave feminism. Because the philosophy that directly led to this:
quote:
mentally ill trans people which is a very small and fringe segment of the population (despite the large amount of attention given to them here).
Had it's genesis in that book. Her central premise is that gender is nothing but a social construct. It laid the foundation for exactly the nonsense we see today.
And Marxism has been intertwined with feminism since its inception. You can see it in your idiotic and completely unfounded statement below that I think women are slaves.
Seriously, if you don't know those things, you really have no business discussing feminism.
quote:
What did the men do?
Exactly what you claim men do here. Worked outside the home but largely not inside it, while women did both.

I didn't argue against socialism. What I did was show that your oft-repeated argument that capitalism has caused life in 2025 to be misery (which is populist bullshite and asinine on it's face—we have a higher standard of living, more free time, less racism, more equality, more civil rights, better health care, more amusements, and fewer poor people than any society before us in the history of the world) is crap.
It had nothing to do with socialism except that socialism is something other than capitalism, yet the same patterns (that YOU brought up) existed, and the only common denominator was feminism.
quote:
We exist to do what men require us to do and nothing more.
I see we've reached the point at which you are going to actively mischaracterize and straw man what I am saying. i have literally said nothing to justify that claim and several things that oppose it.
I likely will not respond to you beyond this post as experience tells me that it will only get worse from here as your losing the argument becomes more and more apparent and you therefore become more and more desperate and less and less honest.
quote:

Yeah. That's what happened in Soviet Russia too. Because feminism. Not because of any corporatism or capitalism...that was the point of that quote and comparison.
Not that it will do any good, but I will directly connect the dots for you.
Men are genetically optimized to handle the functions necessary for the function of the family outside the home. Women are genetically optimized to handle the functions necessary for the function of the family inside the home.
When you convince women that they are being oppressed and missing out because they don't get to occupy the functions that men are genetically optimized to occupy, they will, of course, force the square peg into the round hole.
Men, on the other hand, are not being convinced that they are being oppressed and missing out because they don't occupy the functions that women are genetically optimized to occupy. Oh, maybe a few soi bois here or there who wish they could breastfeed, but in general that's not happening.
See, men don't care so much if the garbage stinks or the bathroom is dirty or they only have lunchmeat and popcorn for dinner. The average guy will keep living in that kind of environment indefinitely without thinking about it too much if the alternative is that he has to pay attention to it.
Because our focus is genetically optimized to keep us looking outside the house. So without the motivation of having been convinced we're being oppressed for not cleaning the bathroom and making sure the curtains in the den are clean, we're not gong to jump up and start homemaking to standards that the average woman finds acceptable. It's just not going to happen.
So what would you think the logical outcome of that scenario would be?
I would think it is exactly what we see.

Well, if hat's your conclusion I appreciate you letting me know that you refuse to be reasonable in this discussion and that you intend to dishonestly mischaracterize what I post (as usual); I will respond accordingly.
I apologize for taxing your apparently anemic female attention span with the length of my post. I do that to try to clear up any confusion and minimize the possibility of mischaracterization, but you are correct.
When the mischaracterization is deliberate on your part, extra exposition, context, and examples are of no use.
