@Xonas Pitfall Bro, that was the 60s. Most men who make the kind of criticisms you see of feminism and progressives today wheren't even alive then. Sins of the father much. It' true that the unhealthy snd ungrounded aspects of modern feminism is due to a lack of a healthy blue core. Stop being such a cry baby.

No, but more women than men are progressive. More women go to college/university and modern liberal culture is more geared towards and driven by women. There's a lot of groupthink in progressive circles, especially in universities.

You'll go insane if you treat every piece of information seriously. Only high quality information deserves to be considered in any serious capacity.

I've become so attuned to schizo posting that I only need to read like a half sentence before I know to stop reading entirely.

Men suck the best dick because they are committers, not spitters.

Because people who sleep around a lot are a lot less likely to stay in a monogamous relationship. It goes both ways for guys who think this. It's in part a rejection of the shallowness of hook-up culture and treating people as disposable napkins. Men statistically benefit more from marriage than women and children are fundamental to the continued survival of society. That's no minor thing to gloss over. It's not wild to discourage young dumb women from casually becoming sex workers. Especially when you consider that only 2-5% actually make any money. There was a very exploitative marketing push to get young women to make porn on OF. It's unhealthy and dangerous to promote being overweight. Several fat positivity influencers have died at a relatively young age from being fat. And it's absolutely about saying that being fat is no worse than a conventional body in a sort of post-modern way. Why else do you think fat-positivity is targeting primarily fat women and not fat men. Because obese women feel unattractive, and rightfully so. Post-modern fat-positivity is magical thinking and silly. A lot of these arguments tend to have a resentful and algorythmic twist when made, granted, but the steelman are valid criticism of these trends. Generally there is just a lack of solid blue in these fantasies that feminism tends to peddle. You can't have your cake and eat it too, fat ass.

If love isn't a primary reason than you shouldn't have kids.

Most people don't care about laws and regulations that don't really affect them. It's a matter of political pressure.

When life gives you lemons, you put him in prison.

That feels like a leading question, but it is a bit of both.

You don't need to menstruate when your factory produced in a south-east Asian sweat shop.

I don't think barbies menstruate...

I don't think being a small beta Thai male makes the dick disappear. Or the knuckles. Or the adams apple. Or the broad shoulders.

It tore down old systems without replacing them constructively as it operates inherently on negatives. Feminism rejects men and traditional femininity with no alternatives besides economic self-sufficiency. There's an element of hatred and mistrust of men throughout the movement. This is fairly obvious to observe. Be careful of trying to flatten criticism. It's part of the dogma that I'm pointing out. It's a significant issue that so many men feel excluded from society, not only in dating but also in declining education and employment. It feeds directly into democratic decline and an overall more institutionally toxic society long-term. This guy talks about it at about the 13 minute mark for a bit. Teal Swan also talks about it to an extend as well as Vlad Vexler.

I had a 6-7/10 childhood. I didn't have anything to complain about physically, but I received very little attention, extracurricular activity or guidance. Basically emotional neglect. I'm emotionally stunted in certain ways, especially socially. I stopped calling my parents "mom and dad" completely by the time I was 14. It's not the case that I have a bad relationship with my parents now. I chose to not be resentful about it all, but I had to take a lot more responsibility for myself emotionally.

Not wanting to have children doesn't mean that if you had kids that they wouldn't be important to you and that you wouldn't love them, but it probably wouldn't be the lifestyle you want and it be harder to go the extra mile. That was the case for my mother, and combined with her autism made, her too self-focused in a neurological sense to have the emotional space and time for me and my siblings, beyound the basics. She pursued her interests 60-80% as if she didn't have kids. In hindsight, she shouldn't have had kids, nevermind that she told me that herself, which I think was oversharing.

I like feminism and I think it's good overall, but there are certain aspects of it that are problematic and has had negative consequences for society. A lot of men feel displaced today in large part due to feminism and how it treats men via cultural attitudes, institutions, etc. There is a lot of male resentment floating about. The issue is that discussing feminism in a critical way is taboo. It makes it harder to make sense of it all. It's part of our liberal dogma that feminism is purely good.

Acquiescing to territorial aggression and seceding sovereignty is unaceptable and can only happen as the result of defeat. Stop trying to whitewash aggressors as moral. Your doing their dirty work. You won't have a communist utopia if authoritarians take over the world.

Ambiguity is the point of trans ideology. It's necessarily confusing when you try to insert hard labels into a post-modern framework because every distinction is so relative as to be self-defeating. From a trans lens, gender is a just matter of perspective, including the notion of being non-normative and trans. A lot of trans-ideologues present a post-modern framework but want you to treat their distinctions as definitely true as opposed to merely perspective. Most trans-woman just look like dudes wearing dresses to most people. That said, being attracted to femboys is more gay than not. Putting lipstick on a pig and calling it a woman.

Too much of US survival is tied up to Taiwan currently. Concession are non-negotiable. The majority of Taiwanese don't want to be part of China either. It wouldn't be the first time a tankie tried to gaslight people into victimblaming and putting the onus of responsibility for avoiding war on the victim instead of the aggressor. Violence is correct when facing territorial aggression. It's on the aggressor to not invade sovereign territory.

Logistics is a core concept in Models by Mark Manson. Though it's focused on dating, logistics is equally true for forming and maintaining any other kind of relationship. Logistics is at least half the battle if not more, so to speak.

The most social I've ever been was staying in a college dorm with a bunch of other 19-21 YO dumbasses. Socialization happens naturally when logistic align.

The more immediate concern is the military turning. The military couping the government is fairly typical of tribalistic third world nations. That's part of why they use foreign mercenaries (talk about "legitimacy"). They have already moved all their gold to Russia, so it's clear that the regime doesn't feel secure currently.
