My feelings about men

724 replies

Name changed, obviously.

Im a regular on here although mostly lurking.

I was wondering how other people reconcile their feelings about how fucking awful the patriarchy is, how men as a group are basically toxic and even the 'good ones' have an incredibly low bar for being decent humans.

Im married, and seriously reconsidering it because I feel this ongoing utter despair at the myriad injustices I put up with. I would NEVER EVER pursue a relationship with a man if I did leave.

Anyone else feel the same? Is this normal?!

Actually I think "third wave radical feminists" was my favorite part of today's tantrum.

Rufus, is DS2 the one who's prone to hilariously pointed statements in general? I feel like you've mentioned him before and it was funny.

I did think of fostering pickle fantastic thing for you to be doing Flowers

RufustheLanglovingreindeer · 25/01/2020 09:22

Yes prodigal

You are probably remembering the hairy armpits debacle

I used to know a woman who made chewy ginger cookies with a ginger cream filling, like a much more impressive and less plastic-y Oreo. Best ginger dessert ever imo, and I like ginger a lo.

Awww, CRonaldoSucks please stick around, your posts are cheering me right up this morning. I particularly like this gem:

in a proper debate with me being calm I would absolutely fucking destroy you.

picklemeCleg my mother said the same as you about political lesbianism after a few glasses of wine. She said if she'd had her time again she would have wanted to spend it with a woman rather than a man.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 25/01/2020 09:23

That was it, rufus! I think your kids will turn out fine.

CRonaldoSucks · 25/01/2020 09:24

Still no rebuttal to the points I made. You're just admitting that feminism is a joke.

Why are women favoured in dating?
Why are women favoured in courts (to my friend's massive detriment and causing him huge depression and suicidal thoughts. His wife was scum and took up with the slimy lawyer and lied about him in court But that's okay because my mate is male, right?)
Why do women lie about the mythical pay gap?
Why do women wrong accuse men of rape?
Why is breast cancer funded far more than prostate, despite prostate being more prevalent?

And finally, why are plenty of women despising of their own gender and admit that feminism is a disgrace?

Don't flatter yourself darling - in a proper debate with me being calm I would absolutely fucking destroy you.

Who says shit like this? Hmm

picklemeCleg · 25/01/2020 09:25

That sounds mouth watering, Prodigal. I have to go out now, but will check in later. The earlier part of the thread was quite stimulating and I'm mulling over a few things.

theflushedzebra · 25/01/2020 09:26

"LOL Greer."

She'd eat you for breakfast mate. Grin

systematically destroyed a generation of young guys

Some of my family members are good friends with quite a few of these generation of young guys and they are lovely, intelligent, caring, respectful young men. They understand consent. They’re not afraid to express their feminine side.

You sound like you feel really marginalised and in a lot of psychological pain. There’s always counselling or psychotherapy. Becoming an adult means taking responsibility for your own life, not constantly blaming everyone else.

picklemeCleg · 25/01/2020 09:27

You need to go back to basics on interesting debating techniques. No one can be arsed to engage with your drivel, just a few kind women throwing you the odd bun.

theflushedzebra · 25/01/2020 09:29

The "Gish Gallop" was mentioned on a thread recently - we're well aware of the technique, CRonaldoSucks - and we're not falling for it.

HorseWithNoLangCleg · 25/01/2020 09:30

There’s a lot of misogyny on here....

I think you might have a point.

In other news - Bunbury's now do home deliveries; I'm doing my order now.

othervoicesotherrooms · 25/01/2020 09:31

I've ruined a lot of people online and if you people would dare engage with the issues rather than engage in ad hominems against me, you would get it too.

Woah, steady on there hard! 😎

Anyone else shaking in their shoes?

No?

feetfreckles · 25/01/2020 09:36

I reconcile feelings by separating out what I know about men as a group from how I think about individual men. Which is what I would like people to do for me...see me as an individual first and a woman second. So it's about practising what I preach.

It may be easier for me because I have known some very good men, and I suffered a lot of bullying from girls/women because I refused to fit the mold/mould (sp?)

IrenetheQuaint · 25/01/2020 09:36

This thread is reminding me of the glory days of FWR. I must come back more often!

I am actually considering becoming a political lesbian... there are lots of men I like from a platonic point of view but I just can't be arsed dating them any more. How does one start though? Any top tips?

DisinterestedParty · 25/01/2020 09:41

Why are you giving so much attention to a man desperate to derail the conversation?

Just ignore and move on.

theflushedzebra · 25/01/2020 09:42

Yes! It's quite nice when the old-school MRAs make an appearance to remind us how much (some) men hate us.

othervoicesotherrooms · 25/01/2020 09:42

I'm just hoping that CRonaldo has gone and made himself a nice cup of tea. Maybe a lie down.
So much pent up aggression and anger is not healthy.

T0tallyFuckedUpFamily · 25/01/2020 09:45

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading this thread. I was expecting an attack on feminists and NAMALT, but that was glorious in all its misogynistic wackery. 😁

AutumnRose1 · 25/01/2020 09:46

CRonaldoSucks “the power they now have in society is causing society to collapse“

How so, please?

OP, I’m still wondering who these horrible men are that you’re mixing with and how you get out of it.
