But I hold a pretty dim view of Hollywood as a sexual industry in general.
yeah I think I'm reaching... I'm just a little unbalanced because I'm questioning my views on 3rd Wave so much now
MeToo was never about hollywood as far as I can tell, once it took off it was all about projecting power and turning victimhood points into popularity and revenge
But I do want to say is that people like to exaggerate the difference between 2nd wave and 3rd wave.
That there is not about the feminist mainstream mind you
which is what we've been talking about this whole time
But if you read that, you can see how 1st wave, 2nd wave, and 3rd wave all had parts that sound basically the same
..
Patriarchy theory was fringe 2nd wave and mainstream 3rd, but they were already talking about systematic oppression of women before 1st wave
the term was 2nd wave, but the idea was earlier
I honestly believe metoo and the hysterical "listen and believe" culture it didn't necessarily create, but greatly enhanced, is going to demotivate a generation of men from becoming successful
Think about it
What's the point of climbing the socioeconomic ladder
If at any point in time all it takes is one accusation from a woman
To get you fired, blacklisted from the industry, and left in ruins.
All without a trial.
It's also discouraging some guys from even going to university
because one accusation from a woman can get you expelled
again, without a trial.
And unless you have solid evidence that proves without a shadow of a doubt that you are innocent (i.e. I have proof I wasn't in the country during the alleged incident and here's 37 witnesses who were in the room with me at the time to testify to that) then you will forever be guilty in the eyes of the general public. Even if you're found not guilty at a trial, the general public will look at you like you're a sexual predator that slipped through the cracks.
This is the near future we're talking about....a generation of young men who either live with their parents until they die and stay home watching anime and playing video games...or at most, getting a low profile minimum wage job and just laying low.
And of course almost none of these men will speak up about why they are behaving like this
because they know that they'll be doxxed, labeled a misogynist, potential rapist, etc.
and that they're powerless to change society anyway
That's terrifying, and I hope it doesn't go that way - for everyone's sake.
We are already seeing it
Japan is an example
Japan?
Hordes of unmotivated men going recluse
Japan's sexual culture issues are not, I would say, comparable to US sexual culture issues
@Suzaku Kururugi i think this IS happening and i used to worry about how bad it will get, but i think people are already beginning to resist. people are much more willing to believe the accused to, there have been multiple public false accusations, plus everytime someone is falsely accused thats them and some of their family/friends added to the list of people who are awakened to the reality of things.
i think SJWism has already peaked in it's power. it may still get bigger, but it will never have the absolutely monopoly on the narrative it had in 2017ish
first half of 2018, etc
its noticable around reddit, on neutral and even left leaning subreddits, people dont blindly follow the SJW line anymore
Who knows at this point?
that reddit link that just crossed the feed about body posivity for men was actually quite promising
i live in LA/hollywood which is an SJW capital and its DEFINITELY different than it once was. like when theres a metoo story now people in grocery stores or just in public are 30% skeptical, when a year ago it was mabe 5%
I saw a lot of people speaking up about the fact that men have no body positive movement and are shamed for bringing it up around female body positive speakers
I do think SJW fatigue is setting in, and that the general public is starting to see the discrimination against men in their messages about 'equality'
