1. The reason that women may find benevolent sexism as attractive is because it implies about attractive traits of the divine masculine like kindness, protectiveness, safety, giving. The problem with benevolent sexism is that it's an undercover form of sexism that pretends to be good, pretends to be the divine masculine in order to deceive women and control them by the facade of fake goodness and the deceiving message that "my highest priority is your happiness" which isn't the case. Many women are attracted to the good aspect of it that benefits them without being necessarily aware to the cost they may pay for being with men with this type of benevolent sexism mindset. Since society is pretty sexist and there are not many feminists and non-sexists men in society, benevolent sexism seems the least bad option, compared to more obvious sexism and misogyny. 2. Republicans value marriage more and would do more to keep it, they more care about following gender roles, even at the cost of their authentic expression. Republicans are more likely to be in relationship for the sake of not being single, sense of security, "togetherness" and they will do almost everything to make it work, even with a non compatible partner, the sense of security is everything for them, it equals to happiness, their need for security can be easily met. Democrats value more authentic self expression. Democrats are more likely to prefer being alone rather than with a not compatible partner, they don't need a sense of security as much as republicans, they value more true connection and intimacy. Since true connection and intimacy are not a easy, common or lasting thing to find or built in the modern capitalistic world, obviously they are more likely to feel unhappy in relationships, because their needs aren't met. If they would value security at the expense of authentic connection, as much as republicans, they would be happy in relationships as well.

Cute.

North Korea deserves freedom from this monster and his familiy

It makes more sense for conservatives to be the privileged ones because they have a motive not to change the system that favors them, they have no incentive to rebel. A wealthy white man has less motivation to change the system, even if it is flawed and rotten, he will close his eyes as long as it continues to benefit him. It is likely for him to lean towards the right wing. A woman who has grown up in a poor family without proper societal support and limited opportunities to improve her situation may find it easier to gravitate towards the left wing, as she has an incentive to change a system that does not favor her. Additionally, I believe that many privileged liberals who appear to be liberals are not truly liberal or, at the very least, are less liberal than they present themselves to be. They often live in a homogenous environment surrounded by people similar to themselves, which contradicts the progressive values they claim to embrace. This lifestyle can be seen as conservative rather than liberal. However, in some sense, we can say that it is easier for wealthy individuals to be liberals because they have the financial resources and influence that provide them with protection. Because being liberal can be more dangerous and risky for those who are poor and lack social status. Liberalism, by definition, is about advocating for change, progress, and challenging established systems, in contrast to conservatism. It is safer to engage in rebellion and challenge the system when you possess the power to do so, as rebellion inherently carries risks. In the past (and even in some places today), holding liberal views could result in a cruel death.

Your love has been successfully received. Back to you <3

I don't claim to be smart. I've done many stupid things in my life. And there is no reason to be mad at me as I tried to mirror you your own BS. Take it or leave it.

Do you always do what's beautiful, what's good, what's important, what's valuable, what's courageous, what's smart? Do you think that this thread where you are basically talking about how smart you are in comparison to others, reflects a beautiful, good, important, valuable, courageous and smart behavior from your end?

“Love me or hate me, both are in my favour. If you love me, I’ll always be in your heart... If you hate me, I’ll always be in your mind.”

Sure, I have plenty of work to do. Still, I'm allowed to write my opinions too and I don't think that this particular respond came from masculine shadow but from geniune self love and self appreciation. It came from a place of strong believe in women abilities and contribution because I'm evident to that and I want this kind of people to see what I'm seeing too. But apparently their biased wall is too strong and too high to overcome. Additionally, I don't know why on this forum, everytime I write something in woman's favor some man has the need to write that I have a masculine shadow. Not every "uncute" response that comes from woman is a sign of masculine shadow. FYI. Maybe you should start seeing women as humans with opinions and not as some objects who need to go on eggshells beside you so they will be labeled as feminine. I know that many men have a distorted understanding of what femininity is. For me, femininity is to be authentic and speak my mind, speak my feelings and heart and here I am.

It all sounds nice and idealistic from a narrow minded, selfish and egoic male perspective but unfortunately, you have a weak character and no woman can really rely on you. Because if you had a strong character, you would never talk so much shit about women. You have so many hate posts of women. No woman can ever feel safe around you because you have so much shit, hate and insecurities within yourself. I have never seen a good man with a strong character who is taking like that about women. No woman with self respect wants someone so primitive and old fashioned beside her. I understand that you are living in a 3rd world country but at least make some efforts to be a bit more progressive. You really live in a bubble and you have no idea how much women contribute to this society and how much they did through the history, and unfortunately many of them didn't receive the credit that they deserve because of people like you.

@Danioover9000 I tried to be concise and deliver a general idea of what patriarchy is. Yes, It's a constructed system that place men above anything else. But only a specific type of men and a specific type of masculinity, while oppressing the rest, women, children, animals, nature, men who don't fall under its idea of 'man'. It's bunch of ideas with justifications of why those ideas are true and superior. It's a very closed paradigm. It's not something that should be relevent in 2023, in a healthy society. That's all I have to say.

Patriarchy is a social system in which men hold primary power and privilege over women. It perpetuates gender inequality by reinforcing traditional gender roles and norms that often marginalize and oppress women.

I'm not sure why he did that. I hope that he's not a pedophile because that would be quite upsetting because that means he has more victims that we don't know about. Children's safety, this is the only thing that I'm worried about. I really have no clue and no judgement, I want to believe that he was playful or that it was an innocent joke or a "Tibetan tradition", and even if it was the case, I wonder, couldn't he make another joke? A better joke? Why couldn't an intelligent and enlightened (?) person like the Dalai Lama himself, think about better ways to play with a child? And I try to put myself in the child's shoes, how would I have felt if I was a child and someone that I'm admiring and looking up to behaved in such a way with me? Would I have felt okay with that? Would I have felt comfortable? Personally, I wouldn't and I think that most children, and even adults, wouldn't.

It really depends on the person. Personally, even though I'm far from being rich, I know that the more money I have, the more I want to give it to everyone in need because I don't see a logical reason to be rich while there is so much suffering in the world that can be solved with money. It seems so stupid to have more money than you actually need to cover your basic needs, and let it lie in your bank account, instead of doing something that will improve someone's life and make a positive impact on the world with this money. After reading this post I agree that generally speaking, most of the wealth in the world was made by manipulation, it makes me so angry to be honest, even though I know this my entire life. And I don't hate money, money is energy and it's neutral, money can be food, health, happiness, it's a resource and resources can be used and misused. But I don't see any value in being rich for the sake of being rich. It's stupid and I cringe when people admire rich people just because they're rich. Yes, money is power and everybody needs some healthy degree of it. I see value in an ethical human, being rich if it means that corrupted people with no ethics and shitty values will have less of it, and less power in society as a result. I see value in being rich if it means having enough power to do good things with the money one has. Actually, one doesn't have to be rich in order to make a good impact with one's own money, of course that the more money one has the more impact they can make, but everyone can have more conscious and ethical decisions, even if they are small, like making sure that the product one's buying is a fair-trade, or monthly donating 10$ to a reliable organization that makes a positive impact, or consuming less meat and plastic and such stuff.

LOL Maybe they wouldn't be interested to talk about those things but about why we humans have belly buttons and then they would invent 1000 jokes about it. And you will be like and they will be like

I think I witnessed one about a month ago (?) I'v seen something that clearly wasn't a star but also not an airplane, it was dark and it moved very fast diagonally. I felt a very odd feeling about it and my mind tried to rationalize it and said:"I'm sure that if I'll google it I'll find some scientific explanation to it". But I did nothing and forgot about it a minute later, I hope it were creatures from other planets though. I really want to meet cool creatures, see them in my eyes. I have a secret wish to meet something odd like an alien everytime I'm outside at nights. I have a sense of both curiosity and fear regarding them but the curiosity stronger than the fear for me. But maybe it's immposible for the average human to experince them in the simple physical way and it requires some paranormal abilities to be able to see them and communicate with them. Maybe average people get glimpses of them in weird ways like seeing UFO randomly when their minds are relaxed or on a specific frequency on a specific brain wave or on a specific state of consciousness.

Yes that probobly what will happen, if this person will die in the prison, his ideas and beliefs have already spreaded and with his followers mentality they can make a huge and toxic conspiracy theory out of his death, which will create more hate and division and even organized terror attacks in the worst case scenario.

I don't know but I love his drawn lashes in the first video ?

Yeah there are various types. I mean, I've seen various types of women who define themselves as feminists. Different women have different variables of feminism and execution of feminism in their life. And feminism looks different in any SD stage. There are red, blue, orange, green, yellow feminists and so on. More common in green and above though but feminists in lowers stages are exist. The core idea of feminism is that women are no lesser than men. I agree with that and I think that this belief is enough in order to be a feminist. At least for me.

I don't like the term 'fundamentally flawed'. Only a misogynist like Tate can use such an awful term. About OnlyFans being a feminist thing? I don't agree that it's a feminist thing because it's all made for the male gaze after all and women are still objectified. Maybe some women justify it by saying that it's a feminist act but believe me, there are much more feministic acts than this. Same with lashes and make-up, it's not more feministic than not wearing them.

I also more attracted to a man who pays on dates. But there are men who might buy you something and then expect from you sex in return. He might behave as if he bought you and put pressure on you to return the 'invesment'. The logic behind paying 50%-50% is to screen out this type of men. But overall as long as a man pays on dates because this is who he is with women and not because he wants something in return, it's all fine and I'm pro. And if someone chooses not to pay 100% because some financial struggles I won't judge him, especially if he's an awesome person with goals and vision in life.

Tate demonizes feminism but feminism isn't bad or dangerous. Men like him fear equality because it means loosing their power and privilege as men. I'm a feminist and I don't bite. And I'm also pretty balanced. And prettyMost of the feminist women I've met in my life were pretty feminine balanced and higher in consciousness than the average woman. I had a masculine boss and she said that she hate feminism because feminists are all extremely masculine. The irony was that she acted like a man herself and she had no real clue about feminism, she only copied the same sentences that insecure men say about feminism and they also have no clue. It's like expecting a fish to question the water it's in. It's hard. Those women don't know better. This is all they know and their survival depends on being that way. In many places in the world it's still dangerous to break the status quo as a woman. Especially in closed and tribal cultures. I don't know how I would have behaved if I grew in the same situation to be honest. It's easy to judge other women as a woman who lives in the first world country, who have access to the internet and aware to empowering feministic ideas since a young age myself. Many women in the world never read or hear such things, they even can't imagine that a woman can be something beyond a children machine.

There are farms in the world for animals who were saved from the meat industry. They financed mostly by donations. There is enough place for everyone. Elon musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Donald Trump, Bill gates and I want Andrew Tate to be also included.

I listen them carfully and see how close their words match their actions. I observe how they talk about and treat people with both better and worse status than theirs in life, animals, disabled people, different people than them like people from the opposite sex, different age group, different race, different culture. I listen to how they talk about people we both know but aren't present in the conversation. I observe how they talk and treat people that they consider close to them like their partner, parents, children, friends, themselves.

I think that it's all a matter of balance. It's healthy to be authentic and express ourselves assertively, and at the same time not hurt others unnecessarily. It is possible to communicate and express geniune negative emotions like frustration without hurting and traumatizing other people on the way. It's all boils down to emotional management, AKA, Emotional Intelligence.
