Men are supposed to be the logical, rational sex so why do they spout so much doublethink? A few examples I've thought of:
On domestic violence: women should take responsibility for their actions, if they 'provoked him' then it is their fault that he hit them. Women force men to hit them and then cry about it, poor menz they had no choice.
On SAHM v WOHM: Women shouldn't expect men to pay for them to sit at home all day. But also, women are irresponsible and bad mothers who don't care about their kids if they work.
On Pornstars and other sex workers: they are liberated empowered women who enjoy sex, not like frigid feminists. Until they are raped, assaulted, murdered etc. then the whores had what was coming to them. As in 1 they were not taking responsibility for their actions and just blaming the poor oppressed man who raped, murdered etc.
On pregnancy: women oppress men as they are able to solely decide whether to continue with a pregnancy, this means women have control over men's sperm once it is inside them bodies. This gross inhuman violation of men should be corrected by allowing men to have full control over women's bodies and decide if they should continue with a pregnancy or not. At the very least they should be allowed to walk away with no consequences whatsoever, leaving all the risks of pregnancy to women is equality.
On children: equality is a woman paying half the bills but covering all childcare and being solely responsible for sickness etc. she gave birth to them after all, her responsibility innit. Yet in the event of separation the same woman obtaining residency is a sign of male oppression as he is an equal parent.
Trans activism is chock full of doublethink, I think it solely exists on it. My favourite recently has been the 'circumgender' debacle, for those not up to speed circumgender is someone's 'gender' being assigned as the same as their sex but the person feeling they should be the opposite sex as they feel they should be trans. It was probably proposed by a troll but many trans activists exploded, you can't claim you feel like a trans if you are not trans, how can you possibly feel like something you are not. They failed to see the irony in their statements and I'm an evil bigot.
Point any of this shit out and we're hysterical females, I Just want to hammer my head against a brick wall.
