Re: "Do you hate men?"

There was a post here recently about a guy posting to a Reddit about how he hated women, that he resented that they wouldn't date him, and when he found a woman playing on a videogame he was in, he would hurl misogynist and sexist insults at her until she quit the game.

Not a single person asked him why he hates women.

If I mention rape, DV, FGM, the pay gap, systemic oppression, anything at all, anything that is easily verified that men actually do to women and girls, not a single point is addressed by a man. Men are incapable of discussing factual reality regarding their chosen behavior. Their frustration at their own pitiful inability to argue a single point turns into BUT WHY YOU HATES MENS THO?

It's an emotional response based on intellectual limitation. Men can't think rationally or logically, and they can't speak arguments that they are unable to create. So they get frustrated and emote.

So yep. I don't really hate men, that takes too much energy. I dismiss them like I do a bug. They are just kind of a worthless waste, honestly. If they weren't violent and abusive, I might find their ignorance cute or endearing. But as they are so murderous, if they all dropped dead tomorrow, the biggest problem would be the stink.

I saved your comment to my save list because it's so profound.

We don't talk about the stupidity of men enough. Evidence points to their ignorance and the inability to deal with how massive it is being the root of their problem.

As women, we get defensive, as mothers, daughters, wives. I am married to one, he is cute and non violent, but he isn't overly plagued with intellect. And he knows it. He also knows that I am smarter than he is, but he isn't threatened by it. Maybe that is why he isn't violent, because he knows his limitations. But I am amazed at the reaction from women when I bring this up, it seems like they think that I am betraying men by acknowledging the reality. Men deny their stupidity, their violence, their supremacy, we need to confront it, not deny it for them out of some misplaced sense of loyalty.

You made a comment in another thread..

So much man bullshit is just about wearing us down until we just give up.

This also resonates deeply. I think women could change the world by simply enforcing their "Nos." Also how important it is as a warning flag about just how disturbed a man is by how much they push boundaries. It's a predator thing, if they can get you to give in, be worn down, then they know they have a malleable prey.

Sometimes we can't enforce the "no". And sometimes we just don't want to.

There was a discussion on here a while back, I don't remember the original topic, but it turned into a discussion between lesbian women and straight women, and about how men should be denied penatrative sex. A few of the hetero women were very clear that they love penatrative sex and would not be giving it up. The lesbian women were annoyed by that, understandably so. We all know that if women, as a class, denied men access to us in that way, a lot of their bullshit would stop immediately. But there are too many of us that are so man identified, and we can't even see it. So it results in women choosing men over women, and they see absolutely no problem with it.

And it's the same with male children. When we give birth to boys, we are creating oppressors. That's just a fact. But mothers of sons will go batshit because they feel like they are being judged and that they are raising super duper, extra special boys that will smash the patriarchy.

We are all potential prey, some of us more malleable than others. Whatever we can say "no" to, then we need to be saying it, in solidarity, with each other. Until we do that, we will be ruled by violence and stupidity.
