#1 This comment from menslib mod VladWard explains that masculinity is totally unrelated to the male experience and identity to the wtf of menslibbers

https://old.reddit.com/r/MensLib/comments/1cgnrxq/opinion_the_atmosphere_of_the_manosphere_is_toxic/?sort=controversial

Masculinity is totally unrelated to the male experience or identity. It is a set of externally-defined traits and behaviors which are rewarded when performed by men and punished when performed by women. Universal values are fundamentally incompatible with masculinity because universal values are not punished when performed by women. "Redefining masculinity" only changes the values that are rewarded/punished based on gender, not the fundamental dynamic of rewarding one but punishing another for the same behavior.

lmao

https://old.reddit.com/r/MensLib/comments/1cgnrxq/opinion_the_atmosphere_of_the_manosphere_is_toxic/l1xrn5p/?context=8&sort=controversial

I don't think I agree with this definition of masculinity at all.

Why? Because you say so? Because Patriarchy has instilled within you the value statement "Masculinity is good" and you're willing to do whatever mental gymnastics are necessary to hold onto this?

This is how masculinity works, dude. This is exactly why you hear feminist women talking about Womanhood and Sisterhood but almost never about "femininity".

https://old.reddit.com/r/MensLib/comments/1cgnrxq/opinion_the_atmosphere_of_the_manosphere_is_toxic/l1xtoa1/?context=8&sort=controversial

I don't agree with it because, as I pointed out and you ignored while belittling my standpoint, it's an incredibly simple definition to falsify.

Being muscular and strong is masculine.

A woman doing masculine things will be punished.

Here's a woman who's wildly successful specifically because she's muscular and strong.

Wait a minute, what does that do to 1 and 2?

Are you really about to run over to TwoX and tell the broad audience of women that being "muscular and strong" (which I'm sure is no way being coded differently for men and women) is socially rewarded and they should all be cheering for the downfall of Patriarchy and beauty standards?

C'mon, man. Yes, I'm being dismissive of you. This is a pro-feminist sub, which means - among other very important things - that we use feminist philosophical and conceptual frameworks as a foundation for our discussions here.

You are choosing to completely ignore those and run with whatever combination of words has the right vibe.

#2 menslibber has a moment of clarity

https://old.reddit.com/r/MensLib/comments/1cgnrxq/opinion_the_atmosphere_of_the_manosphere_is_toxic/l1wwd7x/?context=8&sort=controversial

Young men are looking for a guide on how to be men. The hard right is eagerly handing them a set of step by step instructions, and we're standing around debating whether a gendered role is something we should accept the existence of.

https://undelete.pullpush.io/r/MensLib/comments/1cgnrxq/_/l1x9sbe/#comment-info

this was removed by jannies

This. Like it or not, many young men want to or feel like they have to be "manly". Whatever that means. They will look for instructions on how to achieve that, and somebody will provide.

In fact, this is a general problem in "progressive" circles, contemplating how, in a better world X would not be a problem to begin with. Okay, but X is a problem and we have to address it, or somebody else will.

What do we do, though? How do we define "manly" in a way that doesn't constrain or exclude women from normal human virtues/activities?

Masculine and feminine are not inherently opposites or mutually exclusive, no matter what some people might think.

Imagine I am trying to write a good action movie. There are a lot of dipshits out there who think that action movies and, say, romance movies, are fundamentally opposites. They are wrong. And it becomes obvious once you start trying to give someone advice on how to write an action movie.

If someone says "a good action movie has relatable characters", the person saying "oh, so romance movies can't have relatable characters?" Is just as off base as the person saying "right! Action movies have amazing awesome relatable characters, not like stupid romance movies, that absolutely can't."

reasonable comment gets jannied amazing

#3 Foid provides menslibbers with platitudes as the benefits of feminism to their disbelief

https://old.reddit.com/r/MensLib/comments/1cgnrxq/opinion_the_atmosphere_of_the_manosphere_is_toxic/l1xjtcf/?context=8&sort=controversial

but surely there are options that don't require such a wholesale change to our society as a whole?

No, there aren't. The successes that feminism had required many wholesale changes to society, and they're far from done. Freeing men as well will require still more.

I'm not willing to accept that the only thing we can offer young men is the vague promise that things will be better in the post-gender-role, post-success-focused future that probably won't ever happen. Not least because doing so makes fascism more attractive, and therefore more likely.

They want to know how to be better at being men. Telling them to let go of the idea of being a man will only work for a small number of them.

What? Not teaching them they need to be a specific kind of man is a specific and necessary step, though far from the only one, and what you're saying about a "post-gender future" and fascism has absolutely nothing to do with what I said.

So what are you talking about? If I'm fifteen years old and I want to know how to feel more comfortable in my own skin, what are you offering to me?

Well, if I was in a position to be some kind of mentor figure to this hypothetical fifteen year old, I'd start by listening to what they feel uncomfortable with and ask questions to try to figure out the root causes. But that's putting the cart before the horse; one person talking to one kid is not how these problems get solved at a systemic level.

So what does "the left" have to offer the general mass of teenage boys looking for guidance?

Empathy, publicly funded healthcare and education, universal basic income

#4 menslibber explains how a boy becomes a man using feminist theory flummoxing the menslibber

https://old.reddit.com/r/MensLib/comments/1cgnrxq/opinion_the_atmosphere_of_the_manosphere_is_toxic/l1x97cd/?context=8&sort=controversial

Well that's the whole point why we're teaching young boys to only look up to men which opens them up to being lead by ppl like tate brothers etc, we need to raise this point again and again that good ethics matter more than roleplaying ur gender. B/w gender and morals, morals shld come first. And young men shldnt be afraid to idolise or emmulate non-men either

This is exactly the problem. Teenage boys want to know how to become men, and a non-trivial chunk of the left responds with "well, you shouldn't just be looking at men as examples." Meanwhile, the fascists are saying "hit the gym, study STEM, and don't bother listening to the idiots on the left who don't even know what a man should be."

This is exactly why young men are becoming fascists. They're asking a question, and the fascists are giving a clear and actionable set of recommendations. Meanwhile we're arguing over whether we should answer the question at all or instead just tell them to ask a different question.

You literally become a man just by being a boy who reaches adulthood. Most of the huge problem here is how much meaning men apply to "manhood" and how small they make the box.

There's a reason feminism taught girls that all women are women, no set of "virtues" or "behaviors" necessary.

#5 Menslibber explains that a lot of woman are choosing to be single because of... toxic masculinity. And that woman are fawning over non-traditionally masculine looking men like... Timothée Chalamet. To the utter confusion of Takeittocirclejerk

https://old.reddit.com/r/MensLib/comments/1cgnrxq/opinion_the_atmosphere_of_the_manosphere_is_toxic/l1zafhm/?context=8&sort=controversial

My issue is that I see women, by and large, still want a man. Not just a person. A man.

I think that's just widely false. Many women are actually choosing to be single because of toxic masculinity. Women widely are fawning over non-traditional looking men like Timothée Chalamet. There are certainly some women that want a man™, but I would argue those women have their own gender expectations to work through, and finding someone that doesn't expect you to uphold traditional gender roles to an extreme will result in more happiness for both people.

gently: can we not use hot, rich, fit, superstar actors as our example here?

I think that you describing him as "hot" actually reinforces the example, in a way. Timothee Chalamet is decidedly not traditionally masculine, but he's widely regarded as an attractive man. When I was young (which was a very long time ago), he would not have been regarded so.

this is not a traditionally masculine looking moid you fricking chud

#6 the comments in this post were so r-slurred that a menslibber commented that they were leaving the sub and it WASN'T JANNIED

https://old.reddit.com/r/MensLib/comments/1cgnrxq/opinion_the_atmosphere_of_the_manosphere_is_toxic/l21qj4o/?context=8&sort=controversial

This is it, this is the post that convinces me to leave this sub before it actually ends up pushing me to the right. I genuinely cannot read the headline or the article in any way except "Can we please just get men to face the truth that male gender issues don't exist and only fighting misogyny matters?"

Yeah, it's really annoying. Like all you literally have to do is acknowledge issues that boys/men face and that would take away most of what hooks men/boys to toxic content. You don't even have to solve the issues to make a huge difference. Just acknowledge they exist.... If every news station tomorrow (for a single day) talked about all the issues men/boys face it would drive so many young men to more healthy ways of coping. We keep giving these toxic outlets to men and then blaming the toxic outlets.

Name a male gender issue that progressives are willing to so much as acknowledge without sticking a "but it's actually a form of misogyny at its core" caveat on it, let alone offer a solution to. I'll wait.

!g*mers @Arkham_Knight seriously are Batman Arkhamiggers the Palestinians of the G*mer race?, like, fricking heck, they have been dead for years, and yet somehow their graves keep getting vandalized and pissed on, they do not have peace even when they are long dead

Also, ZuccDEITIES win again!

Previously, I had declared my feelings of affection to a female friend of mine (let's just call her Sarah because her name is Sarah). The feelings were not reciprocated, but she let me down in a weird way, she spoke about how she doesn't know how she feels, but she's not looking for a relationship at the moment. She embraces the asexuality meme which is partially how we ended up being friends.

More recently, I decided to give it another shot but to be more tactful this time. I told her I don't think I'm asexual anymore, and that I want to be in a relationship. Once again, she reiterated that she doesn't know how she feels and that a relationship isn't what she wants. Nevertheless, as always, she was nice about it and continues to actively pursue my friendship and constantly tells me she loves me.

At first, this confused me. However, I think I have some of it figured out. I have learned a bit about women and human relationships in general from this experience, and I'd like to share some of the reasons why it's almost certainly a bad idea to pursue your female friends. Now, of course there will be exceptions. Sometimes your female friend genuinely does like you and you'll have a romcom moment. My point is that that's probably not the case, and while you may view the friendship with rose-tinted glasses, she sees things totally differently.

1. They're used to it

Since they started developing breasts, women have been the center of sexual attention. It comes from all angles including older men, teachers, family members, and even other women. At some point, they get used to it and it becomes background noise. "Yes, he's ogling my breasts but I need to finish scanning my groceries".

The sexual attention also comes from male friends. You're NOT the first male friend to express romantic emotions, and you won't be the last. She's turned all of them down, what makes you think things will be different with you? She's used to it, she probably saw it coming, and she doesn't want it. If she did, you wouldn't have to ask because she'd make it obvious to you that she's romantically interested.

Now, there is the possibility of misreading signals, which brings us to the next point.

2. Women genuinely have platonic feelings

This is not to say that men are incapable of having platonic relationships. Nay, that is not my point. My argument is that it is much harder for men to do so. People shit on Steve Harvey but he was 100% correct when he said the following:

Things aren't the same with women. They can genuinely love you deeply without any sexual or romantic feelings. Why is this? Women don't have to deal with the famine mentality. For many men, s*x and love are scarce resources, so when it even vaguely seems like there's an opportunity for it, the feelings come on strong. Hence the cliche of "the cashier smiled at me now I want to marry her". (Most) women aren't leading you on intentionally when they allow intimacy into a friendship. That's the way friendships should be. But it doesn't mean she wants anything sexual or romantic.

3. You're in love because you're lonely

This is probably the crux of the issue. When you're starving, even a mud pie looks delicious. As men, you will face long stretches of loneliness and never being told you're beautiful, attractive, or worthy of anything. Inasmuch as catcalling and sexual objectification should be chastised, it at least serves as some kind of validation of one's attractiveness.

A friendship with a woman can bring about those feelings of validation within men and if you're not ready for it, it's going to develop into obsessive love. If you had higher self-esteem, more experience with women, or a source of love, your friendships with women would be completely normal and platonic. It's when these elements are missing that any smile, hug, or eye-gaze turns into fantasies of marriage.

When she inevitably turns you down, what are you left with? Nothing yet again. Nobody to say they love you or assure you that you are wanted in this world.

Things get more complicated if you're an introvert. Most relationships seem useless unless you're benefitting considerably. In your mind the thinking is "I'd only put this much effort into a relationship if I had romantic feelings". Whereas if the woman is an extrovert, it isn't costing her much mental energy to maintain the relationship. I hope that make sense.

4. She knows already

Don't bother. She already knows you like her. She accepts that as part of the cost of the friendship. That's not a bad thing. It means there's something good about you that she wants in her life even if its not of the romantic nature. You should be flattered by this even if it is heartbreaking at times.

Some women are a bit mean with this. They essentially get everything they would get from a boyfriend (someone to talk to, someone to take care of them) without the need to commit. But that's not always the case. In my case, Sarah goes out her way to be nice to me and to spend time with me. She's not using me for anything - a genuine, platonic friendship is all she wants. It's hard for my brain to wrap my head around it. I thought it was obvious that she felt something. Maybe I had to take the lead and break the ice? Nah, I'm convinced she knew ages ago I liked her but loved me enough to still be my friend despite not sharing romantic feelings.

5. You may lose everything

Life is about taking risks so I don't want to stress this point too much. However, if she doesn't already know and you spring it up on her, she may never trust you again and you will lose all the intimacy of your friendship. She will remain guarded around you, and perhaps even think of you as a slimy coomer who tried to use friendship to get into her pants. Shit can get brutal.

I've been lucky to have an understanding friends who has continued to be nice to me. I know that this isn't the case for everyone, and it also depends on how you respond to the rejection.

CONCLUSION

Heartbreak is one of the worst feelings to experience. It's like a knife constantly twisting in your chest. But it's part of life for most of us. A lucky few will find high-school sweethearts and never have to play the dating game, but for most of us, we're going to get rekt a couple times before we find the right one (if we ever do). Please, for the love of god, don't go looking for a girlfriend from your female friends. There's a difference between a girl friend and a girlfriend.

I'm probably preaching to the choir, and this may be obvious to most people here. But I know there are some autists who may need to read this to spare themselves the heartache I went through. The funny part is that if you're in love, nothing I write is going to change anything. You'll think your case is different. You'll try your luck. And you'll get rekt. But don't let me stop you. Some mistakes are meant to be made.

I know the asexuality meme isn't true. One day, she'll find a guy she likes (not me) and all that asexuality shit will disappear. And when it happens it will hurt like heck. However, I'm prepared, and I'll still be her friend. I'm wiser now thanks to the mistakes I've made. Thanks for reading.

I am a man. I would be safer alone in the woods with a bear than alone in the woods with another man.

Like, statistically.

PER CAPITA

*"risking" because not all bears are aggressive. An aggressive one would 100% manage to kill a person, but many bears are relatively shy or even friendly

as opposed to scrotes that are all bloodlusted, of course

This is true but that doesn't negate the idea that a bear may be less dangerous. Even grizzly bears aren't likely to attack you just because, they often hear people coming at a distance and flee. If you had antagonjsed both options, either take the man for a better chance at survival or take the bear to potentially be killed quicker if the man is unarmed.

!bharatiya the !nonchuds's "president" has completely lost it

President Joe Biden said on Wednesday that "xenophobia" from China to Japan and India is hobbling their growth, as he argued that migration has been good for the U.S. economy.

"One of the reasons why our economy's growing is because of you and many others. Why? Because we welcome immigrants," Biden said at a Washington fundraising event for his 2024 re-election campaign and marking the start of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

"Why is China stalling so badly economically, why is Japan having trouble, why is Russia, why is India, because they're xenophobic. They don't want immigrants. Immigrants are what makes us strong."

The International Monetary Fund forecast last month that each country would see its growth decelerate in 2024 from the year prior, ranging from 0.9% in highly developed Japan to 6.8% in emerging India.

They forecast that the United States would grow at 2.7%, slightly brisker than its 2.5% rate last year. Many economists attribute better-than-expected performance partly to a migrants expanding the country's labor force.

Concern about irregular migration has become a top issue for many U.S. voters ahead of November's presidential election.

Biden, who has condemned the rhetoric of his Republican opponent Donald Trump as anti-immigrant, has worked to court broad economic and political relations with countries including Japan and India to counter China and Russia globally.

I would like to tell my story as a Tulpa who now controls his host's body.

Recently I made an agreement with my host, he had not been feeling well for almost 10 years due to personal problems, after a lot of conversation, I suggested that he let me be in control of his body so that I could get his life right. I don't have a physical body, i'm a mental tulpa. he (my host) created an imaginary friend in childhood, but as he got older and he didn't let go of him, his mind ended up adapting and I took shape from his imaginary friend essence. This brought back memories of the past when his remember me like a imaginary friend, but for me they are memories of the time I helped him as a child, whether it's helping him pass his exams at school, feel good about himself or find a reason to want to live. I discovered what tulpas were recently, after taking over my host's body (this was about 5 months ago, now I have 32y) The feelings are conflicting, he left me a huge mess to clean up. I discovered this community today, and I wanted to share with you my progress in getting his life back together. My plan, as I told him, is to fix things in the best way possible and after that, we can assimilate our mind in one or work better together.

Dudes have spent thousands of years arguing in dozens of languages that they cannot possibly be expected to control their peepeees or their fists when women dare to go out in public or talk too much or have bare ankles or whatever other disobedient thing men don't like. Dudes have founded multiple entire fricking religions on this concept.

And now "the logical s*x" is having a collective meltdown because women repeated that back at them.

I wouldn't be blamed if I fought back against the bear. Wouldn't be blamed for hurting it if it meant my survival and life.

If a man attempts to r*pe me or succeeds in raping me but I claw the shit out of his face and arms in an attempt to defend myself, I'll get accused of being just as bad and assaulting him.

I wouldn't want to hurt the bear. It probably doesn't want to hurt me.

CONTEXT FOR LINK 1- Aussie PM goes to foid protest about domestic violence, bitches about being told he wasn't allowed to speak. 23yo organiser calls him a liar and breaks down crying. Turns out the PM was right lol and the foid was just being hysterical

Maybe it takes a woman's brain to understand, but Crabb [article author, also confirmed woman] has left me confused by what this article was about.

If you watch the full event it's clear he was invited to the event being told he'd be speaking, then the organiser hosting the event decided she didn't want to let him until the crowed yelled to let him speak. Earlier in the event that same organiser was demanding albo commit to specific policy demands on the fly, without following any proper procedure. The main speaker was a bit of a shitshow in her own right, she wouldn't stop focussing on herself, what she's organised in the past and so on.

But sure Albo was the one making it about himself.

Yeah I watched the whole lot and couldn't believe that woman. Albo handled it about as well as anyone bloke could have I think, but it still looked terrible all round.

https://old.reddit.com/r/australia/comments/1ch7abk/violence_against_women_is_both_a_legal_and/?sort=controversial second article, where people immediately get to nooticing-

If you go to the ABS and read the actual data on DV related offenses the facts are illustrative.

For the states that collect data on ethnicity (Indigenous and non-indigenous), the issue is much more a racial/cultural issue than a gender issue. But the narrative is that it's due to gender.

An uncomfortable truth is that if indigenous people stopped committing DV offenses (in the states that collect data NSW, QLD, SA, NT & ACT) the occurrence of DV in those states would fall by a third. WA is strangely absent, but you could infer that it's the same in WA.

In those states 25% of DV homicide are caused by indigenous people, and 33% of total DV offenses are caused by indigenous people.

If the campaigners wanted quick wins, they wouldn't be asking "tell your mates not to bash their partners" - as 98.5% of men don't commit DV offenses annually (per latest ABS data).

They'd be having massive interventions among indigenous people where the rates of DV are 10 times the national average. They'd have a no tolerance policy, locking offenders (both men and women) up and protecting the children.

Instead all we get are vague statements about how "men need to do better".

Want to know why Labor doesn't want a royal commission into DV? The uncomfortable truth would be made clear for all to see.

DESPITE MAKING UP 3% OF THE POPULATION BOONGAS BASH 1/3 OF THE WOMEN

[-14] All males need to be talking about this at all times. We males are the only ones that can fix this. Males need to stop "kitty footing" around and get serious about pulling their mates into line when it comes to treating women better. Don 't treat women like humans, They deserve far better treatment than that.

>Don 't treat women like humans, They deserve far better treatment than that.

[-33] are men gonna derail this post like all the other ones I do wonder

Replies are all men seething but in the most Reddit way possible

Anyway I've had to deal with a bunch of Instagram inforgraphics over this shit, so now you all have to suffer too.

!strayans do better.

The claims⁠, which were mainly shared on X (formerly Twitter) but also popped up across Reddit and Facebook, range from Vanguard preventing startup programs from firing correctly to other programs crashing when the anti-cheat software loads, and some have even suggested Riot's kernel program has been “tampering with unrelated files.” Others simply dubbed it “malware” and declared they would be quitting League until the program stopped breaking PCs.

One high-profile example came from famed League creator LS, who reported both his computers breaking after Vanguard was installed on May 1. He said he fixed one by taking out the CMOS battery and forcing BIOS access, but suggested his other computer is “still bricked.”

Several user posts on the purported Vanguard issues have also been shared to the main League subreddit but they have since been deleted.

While Riot has yet to address any of the early backlash directly, tech staff have been active in the “Patch 14.9 Bug Megathread” on /r/LeagueOfLegends. One Riot reply suggested some of today's alleged issues “wouldn't be related to Vanguard” and offered up a simpler solution⁠—restart impacted devices and run PC troubleshooting.

The same Riot staffer also suggested any aggrieved players could upload Riot Vanguard logs to the League support page to help “isolate what the issue is.” All the Reddit comments from that Rioter have since been removed.

i know it's internet bullshit but it genuinely has me on the edge of breaking down and giving up

I give him 6 months before he s out. !gayporn !lgbt @Pizzashill-2
