    In all seriousness, as a guy, I am genuinely gobsmacked at how many men feel entitled to sex and blame their insecurities and lack of dating skills on women. Looking back, I’m glad that I came from a culture where it’s more egalitarian. The schools I went to taught us that feminism is about equality between men and women. It’s not about one gender being superior to the other. When I was younger, my mom repeated to me couple of times not to get upset if a woman rejects me, to the point I told her she keeps saying what I already know before.

    Later, as I got older, I later realised that feminism and gender equality is taught differently in different places, or barely taught at all. Some families don’t teach treating the opposite gender with respect. Even here Europe, despite the progress since forever, I find Europeans still has more rigid gender expectations than in Southeast Asia.

    Sometimes, being born into what family and the environment you grow up in is a matter of luck and shape who you are. Despite my parents’ flaws, I’m lucky I was born to educated parents and our culture is more or less egalitarian despite some hiccups.

    And men don’t? I am willing to bet that the most wars in history could be traced to men who couldn’t cope with their emotions in a healthy way.

    How would it even work to have 1000s of emotions each minute? That’s a minimum of 16,6 emotions every second. Is he under the impression that women have superhuman time perception?

      Is your experience reading the OP? Because that post is full of emotion. I think thw post is ironic but after Alanis Morissette I’m never sure anymore.

    Father Nathan Monk mentioned. He’s an activist ex priest that posts interesting stuff about religion, most often Christianity, including the hypocrisy of most religious people.

    I’d recommend a follow if he was on the Fediverse, but he seems to be active on X, Substack, and Facebook.

    I find it incredibly stupid when people blame the forests when they have a problem with a specific tree. And that’s just the most sympathetic take on why he posted this in the first place.

    No sympathy for this guy at all.

    Hey, as a woman who was in the military, a lot of those women are pretty crazy too. Are you sure you wanna automatically give a green light to thousands of crazy women whose political literacy hasn’t been vetted?

    If we must put restrictions on who is allowed/not allowed to vote, it should be based on passing some sort of political literacy test. For everyone.

          I noticed this kind of thing happening in a particular subreddit; there was a rule requiring all identifying info to be censored with the purpose of the sub not getting banned for brigading, but people disliked this and always tried to pass off censorship attempts that were as poor as they thought they could get away with.

      What’s there to be confused about? It’s an obviously great job of censoring to make sure to protect the online identity of a terrible person named jaicilgin . I know that last word looks completely illegible, but it actually is censored just like in the screenshot!
