Right.
hey, at least we have more subs than /r/feminism
I'm surprised reddit didn't cut the sub number down
I imagine you mean TRP and MGTOW subs
TPR?
Did they get shut down?
Theredpill
oh
Admin disdain on Reddit for men's orientated subs is clear really from what they allow with subs like r/against mens rights
But that's not gonna stop us speaking out on the issues
This emotional labor stuff is a bit goofy. Apparently men don't provide any emotional support
the original link you posted was fafsa 😛 ironically also relevant since men have to sign up for the draft to receive financial aid
Yeah
I see this "emotional labor" thing pop up more and more and I don't get it. Make up your mind, feminists, are men allowed to talk about their issues or aren't they?
They always argue that men don't talk about their feelings and then when a man seeks some support it's now emotional labor
I think a big problem is people see feminism as some monolithic idea
In reality it has no basis in anything, and there is no central organization. So it's whatever each idiot wants it to be.
It's allowed to have totally contradictory positions as long as those positions don't offend any women.
The entire origins of feminism is steeped in overgeneralized hate of a father figure.
It's similar to MGTOW in my mind. I support their idealogical movement more, but at the same time their motivation is generally due to a bad mother, and repeat experiences with dating women like their mother. There's a lot of studies showing abused children go after similar partners because it feels familiar at first.
Google searches will find you legitimate peer reviewed studies on this topic
MGTOW would do well to listen to a bit more JBP
I spent so much time when I was younger acting as an emotional caretaker for the women in my life, but I never saw it as "labor" because people generally do genuinely appreciate it
Calling it emotional labor just sounds like something a selfish person who doesn't care about anyone but themselves would call it
Yeah
Rather ridiculous imo
I read that back in the 70s and 80s in the US they used to have co-ed swim class and forced the male students to swim naked
I've never heard about that, I didn't even exist in the 80s, but there was a time when communal showering was a part of gym class
it's true
I remember doing communal showering after rugby, it's not comfortable and you will get bullied if you didn't want to expose yourself to the rest of the women, most of which where raging lesbians.
This is very true, no one wants to be nekkid in front of their school age peers
unless... they really do...
I don’t want to be naked in front of anyone.
Raging lesbians can be pretty rough I’ve heard.
They always bust into my house and eat my carpets
It's getting to be quite annoying
@GG Allin Sounds like a band.
@Mush Though 'feminism is a religion' gets used as a metaphor a lot, I don't think it's helpful. Feminism is actually a fully secular political ideology with an anti-religious streak that surfaces from time to time. If you want a better comparison, it has a whole lot more in common with racism - and feminists act almost spookily like students did during the Maoist Cultural Revolution. If you want something to compare it to - I'd say those are the best shots. Comparing it to religion tends to backfire as a religious person will think you are implying either a) that feminism is like Christianity, and therefore a social good concerned with equality. Or b) that you just don't like religion and are trying to bundle them together. This is bad regardless of if you are talking to a feminist or an MRA. Either way, the conversation is now about religion and feminism is on the back seat looking smug because it dodged a bullet. In other words, it's best to just show them this:
