ORIGINAL: Staleek
With all the dumb arguments I've read about people denying that white men tend to have an easier life White men have an easier life IN AMERICA, because y'all are some of the most racist motherfuckers I've ever met.
And by easier, what that means is "less likely to be pulled over, frisked and shot by police".
As for the rest - horseshit. White women are the ones who really have it easy. No responsibilities and they get to whine about how oppressed they are. They're living the dream!
quote:
I thought - hey, if I don't at least consider the opposing viewpoint then I am as bigoted, obstinate, ignorant, and stupid as the person I am accusing of being one braincell short of having two braincells. So I did what I always do, I thought about it objectively and really tried to put aside my prejudices. Part of the problem here is that a lot of people take positions on this based upon what they've been told to believe. From that perspective, there's an inherent irony in someone who can't think for himself attempting to claim the other side is intellectually deficient.
quote:
And I realized, yes, there really IS male oppression in modern society. Some men do suffer merely for being men. But it's not at all in the way that the idiot masculinist movement appear to think. In fact they are huge part of the problem.
The problem is.... well... I've got to be a man! Oh Christ. I know exactly where you're going with this. You're going to trot out all the "patriarchy hurts men too" nonsense which is feminism's argument for why we shouldn't give a flying fuck about men because white women are out in the world and occasionally one of them will break a nail and THAT shit is important.

Buy a gun! If someone gives you shit it is your sacred duty as a man to kick the shit out of them! So what if he has a broken beer bottle and is waving it menacingly at you, you don't want people to think you're... well... a pussy... having the female weakness of not wanting your face ripped to pieces by glass.* And don't even think about calling for the cops. If you do a bunch of real men will show up in manly uniforms and make you feel totally inadequate. NRA propaganda designed to sell more weapons is irrelevant to male culture.
quote:
Depressed? Don't get help, that would be weak, unmanly. Yes. And that drive for men to "act like a man" is something that women enforce too. Because strength and self-reliance are survival traits.
quote:
Feel something weird in your butt? Don't you dare go the doctors and let someone jab a finger up there! You might turn gay!
And so on and so forth I am sure you get the picture. Yes, I'm afraid I do. You're a weak little beta and you'll latch onto any argument which will let you rock yourself to sleep at night. Unfortunately, there's fucking millions of you pussies.
quote:
Men and, more disturbingly, boys who are expected to be tough macho type males are discouraged from seeking any sort of help whether for depression, medical issues, or relationship issues. Bullying too. Modern society still, in some areas, expect boys to stand up for themselves and decides that those who do nothing are in some way deserving of being bullied. Of course. Because human beings are fundamentally tribal. Men need their brethren to be tough and self-reliant or the tribe fucking dies. Women want the same thing in their mates so she and her offspring have an increased chance of survival.
quote:
Even in small ways I have noticed this, now I think about it. A woman broken down at the roadside will have people (normally men) pull over to assist her. A man who has broken down will have fewer offers of help. A man is expected to know what to do. Yep. Because women are privileged and get treated as more valuable than men, whereas men are seen as inherently disposable.
quote:
My point - men, particularly men who don't want or simply can't conform to gender stereotypes, are indeed oppressed, by other men. And the oppressors are men who are, at their core, afraid of losing masculinity and the identity of manliness. The real cowards who are terrified of an idea, an idea that being a man doesn't automatically confer strength and power.
What ya'all think? I think you're weak and need to tell yourself fairy stories in order to try and reinvent your place in the social order.
quote:
*Now, typing this post out, I've just realized something. - "Grow some balls, pussy". One of the rhetorical weapons used in the macho culture is to call into question masculinity. To be called a woman is to be insulted. That's really quite sick, when you think about it.
No, it's really quite simple: For a man, acting like a woman is not aspirational. It is not behaviour which is useful, helpful or advantageous to a man or to the tribe.
Honestly, these whiny fucking arguments have been made a million times by a million weak men. Only the misandrists will agree with you.
