WTF is going on here on MN??

[Spooky2000]

Jesus, back in the noughties, women used to stand by each other. This didn't mean agreeing with what you said or sycophancy etc, but it was clear that even if there was disagreement, it was stated respectfully without this name calling and digging/dog-pilling that is rife on here these days. Where are the respectful arguments and debates?

WTF is going on? It's lazy to slate someone rather than putting forward a coherent argument taking apart the points. I'm beginning to wonder if that's how the boomers felt about us Gen X-ers after they'd gone through post war rations and restrictions and went nuts in the 60's/70's.

I firmly believe that the reason women don't run the world is because they work against each other and show a lack of solidarity, whilst some men seem to work with others they loathe because they bring a 'benefit' and they can tolerate that as long as it brings them collectively to a goal. I really don't see this currently with women outside of my generation. What am I missing?

How about some concrete examples? Women aren't a monolith, neither are men.

Is this because your other thread isn't going so well?

Just because women on that thread don't agree with you that a man is predatory for asking a woman if she would like to meet up with him and go to a gig.

That’s such a general post that it’s impossible to respond to it. Can you at least say in what contexts you think women are working against each other rather than demonstrating support? Surely you can’t mean that all women should support the views and positions of all other women, when those women have such a wide range of views and positions, some of which are clearly unreasonable or irresponsible?

You complain women don't support each other. But then go off on a rant about how awful everyone is. Calling them lazy. You are missing that you are hyper critical.

You firmly believe that women don't run the world because they work against each other and show a lack of solidarity?? And you don't see any women outside of the GenX age range working together and showing solidarity with each other? Not a single example of it anywhere?

I would suggest that the issue is with your perception.

Have you seen the rest of (male dominated) social media?😂

fwiw I see plenty of women supporting other women on MN. Maybe it depends which threads you choose to participate in?🤷‍♀️

I don't think being rude during discussions online is an issue with women. I think all people are combative during differences of opinion, particularly online, and men are frequently worse than women.

Even in person, people seem less respectful in regards to differences of opinion these days, and more extreme. But again, I don't think that's a female thing.

I don't think the reason women 'don't run the world' is because of a lack of solidarity. That's a wild take.

I do think that, unfortunately, too many women buy into patriarchal beliefs and work against other women while ingratiating themselves with patriarchy. You can see that very clearly on here in discussions about trans issues, porn, and stag dos, where some women can't seem to dick pander hard enough.
