The theory that most “feminists” these days are actually bent on female supremacy is no longer a conspiracy to me after international men’s day yesterday. This is real.
All I did was post the stats meme about men suicide rates, imprisonment and murder etc. and my most “liberal and progressive“ friends and family came out of the woodwork in droves to argue, insult and belittle the post about how there are more important issues and the whole gamut of undermining. The worst part is I’m a very center political person and seeing how so many of these people are the loudest mouthpieces of the left, it truly terrifies me away from being able to take most of anything they say seriously knowing how close minded and truly sexist they are. Anyone else experiencing similar things?
Something similar happened to me on my personal facebook not too long ago - I posted about male suicides and statistics of men at a disadvantage and the post had ‘male privilege be like’ at the top as sarcasm. Was immediately told that it was primarily because of toxic masculinity through the patriarchy, so I made it private and didn’t even respond - I couldn’t be fucked. And they belittled me saying it was a shitty post.
Dude, yes! Just today I mentioned, “oh we also have the privilege to die earlier than you. Go to DC and see all the “privileged” men’s names on the vietnam memorial drafted to their deaths”. No one cares. It doesn’t suit them. I actually want to try an experiment and most stats about men that specifically aren’t white or straight. I’ve come to the conclusion today that if I posted statistics about trans men it would probably get shared in light. If I posted statistics about Nigerian babies born with HIV, it would probably get liked and supported. It just seems that if it encompasses heterosexual white man it disgusts the general populace. This is mind exploding.
