A.R. Moxon, Verified Duck 🦆"A man free of patriarchy is a man who has found not only every woman's humanity, but one who has at last discovered his own. The actual path to liberation for lonely men is feminism—because pursuing an identity based on dominating others is self-isolating."
Zhi Zhu 🕸️These young men are willing to change themselves to gain the approval of patriarchal misogynistic men, but are un-willing to change themselves to gain the approval of women.
Then these young men blame women for not being attracted to them, even though the men have done *nothing* to make themselves attractive to women.
These young men have *chosen* to sabotage themselves, to make themselves more appealing to misogynistic men than to women.
CJPaloma might be hiking@ZhiZhu @JuliusGoat It's a good point: Men still (collectively) listen more to men than women…And it slows everything down because they also fall for related bullshit (crypto, AI, fossil fuels, the "need" for militarism, etc- the list is long )
People (I might possibly be one of those people at times) sarcastically refer to these guys who habitually and continually stunt their own humanity as dudes who waste their lives trying to please abusive daddies, but there's a lot of truth to it.
