I’m not arguing from a Marxist framework or invoking one.

You got to the mischaracterization part really quick on this thread.

I never said you were arguing anything on this thread from Marxism. I said that studying Marxist derived writings has trained you to think a certain way and that way of thinking is evidenced on this thread.

But you knew that.

Men are expected to control their emotions in the course of everyday affairs way more than women are expected to, and they do so.

This place demonstrates the exact opposite of that. This board is populated primarily by men who spend all day insulting other people over inconsequential political opinions.

Conviction and incarceration rates demonstrate the exact opposite of that. Murder rates demonstrate the exact opposite of your claim. Property crime convictions demonstrate the exact opposite of your claim. Domestic violence rates demonstrate the opposite of your claim.

what are you basing the claim that men actually exercise greater self-control on? What observable behavior or evidence leads you to that conclusion?

If you think my thinking has been shaped by something specific, at least tell me what you think it is.

It doesn't make it any less true that you have been trained to think a certain way whether I can name the specific books you've read or not.

You think the same way that academia has trained countless academic wokies to think.

Am I really to conclude that you came up with your thought patterns on your own, parallel to the tide of mainstream academic thought, while reading it, as a complete coincidence?

We can pretend that if you'd like. Doesn't matter to me.

Because all of this niggling is beside the point, and you know it. The thinking is either correct or flawed. That's the point. Whether you adopted it on your own, from a book, from a class lecture, or by plain old cultural/social osmosis in the academic context in which you live.

In this case, it's either true that western society has normalized the sexual objectification of women, or it's true that we're living in a time in which that claim has never been more false in western society.

That's the point. It's obviously the latter.

So you tell me, what is it that has caused you to adopt such an obviously flawed claim if not the academic environment that makes the same obvious blunder with regard to race, class, economic systems, and everything else under the sun?

It doesn't really matter, but if you don't like me pointing that out, then you tell me.

I’m currently reading Milton Friedman.

You seem to believe women lack the capacity to formulate ideas or opinions. You have repeatedly insinuated and now explicitly named that my ideas are not my own, but instead are a regurgitation of an academic works you can’t identify.

it’s not. The constant normalized reduction of women is the actual point.

all observable behavior indicates this is not the case. But I’m sure someone can find a tweet from some random influencer that proves your point. Isolated instances don’t amount to cultural norms.

wtf kind of question is this? If you’re asking why I disagree with you, it’s because you’re wrong.
