basic civility as a means to build coalitions to bring about social change? That pales in comparison to my strategy, posting "punching up" jokes on social media, which will deliver results any day now

like i dunno man. if you look at the junior far-right misogynist league i don't see how it isn't obviously downstream of all that "male tears lol" shit from 15 years ago. Yeah "the true male feminist will hear a woman say she hates all men, understand where she is coming from and sincerely agree" ok maybe, but is the point to push away everyone but "the true male feminist" or is it to pursue the political goals of feminism? If it's the latter then this rhetoric needs to be spoken about in terms of strategy rather than whether someone who objects is a bad person or whatever. And I think if you speak in terms of strategy then it's obvious that this shit is rather self-defeating.

[aloeveracious]

It also has a good chance of pushing away the true male feminist after a while, because most people will only put up with "You must put up with constant verbal abuse to earn your place in our movement" for so long, regardless of their political beliefs.

or turn them into weirdly repressed nervous wrecks!

[aorish-deactivated20251222]

morbidly i think the stereotype of the "non-threatening feminist boy" sex pest may have been downstream of this too. when you dont forbid men from participating in a group but do everything you can to make them feel unwelcome, the men who stick around are not necessarily going to be "true male feminists" even! it's much easier to fit yourself into that absurd box, which forces any honest person to engage in numerous self-effacement rituals, if you're misrepresenting who you actually are

[sillhouette-hedron]

You guys are so right, incels exist exclusively because women are too mean and for no other reason. This is why if you're nice to men all the time they will definitely not become misogynists

god i'm so tired of everybody's bad faith interpretations of everything. where's the trust. where's the forgiveness. where's the understanding that most things are complex and most people have many layers. and like the black eyed peas once said. where is the love

if the usa suddenly became a thriving communist utopia overnight, would you support it being a country? and if not why does china get a pass despite its terrible historical colonialism?

I don't entertain conterfactual questions like yours because they are pointless. My positions are not arrived at from a system of top-down reasoning but rather from a bottom-up understanding of how the current situation is a product of the past that produced it; moreover my politics are not about whether I "approve" or "disapprove" of a state. My position on China is "they have had many enormous successes in the implementation of socialism and we must respect that and seek to learn from it." China will continue to be China because the party has the power to keep it a unified state, and no opinion of mine (or, indeed, yours) will have any bearing upon that. Stop worrying about things that are beyond your control and start focusing on what's within it.

Also since it's drippingly obvious in this ask lets address the reality: Counterfactuals and asks like this are above all slimy attempts to deny the true horrors of European colonialism by drawing equivalence between them and like, Tang dynasty expansionism, so if you will, this will be a rare case of Anomie using the bold:

There is no event in Chinese history that parallels the brutality of the colonization of the Americas; there is in fact no event in the entire premodern history of the "Old World" that does; to claim otherwise is to cheapen the depopulation of entire nations due to bottomless European greed and genuinely limitless depravity, the likes of which the world has seldom seen since.

[cinnamon-schtick]

To say that there is no event in Chinese history that parallels the brutality of the colonization of the Americas is just plain wrong. Here is a list of the top five deadliest wars in history, China is involved in all of them, but the most notable is the fact that the bottom three are conflicts that were all fought internally. This is to say nothing of the mass killings that historically took place there or their current treatment of the Uyghurs.

Confident ignorance in the history of the world and especially one as rich as the history of China is severely damaging to your cause and point. Worst of all it's an erasure of these tragedies and the people who suffered them.

It's sad when you look at photos of when you were little, you had a smile so big it looked like it hurt, your eyes sparkled with pure joy for life then suddenly you're older, those happy memories don't even feel like they were ever yours, you're tired, you have more bad memories than good, all of your passions disappear and you don't laugh fully anymore. It's sad that once we use to love and trust, doe eyed to every experience and each new day but now we are sad from simply waking up again.
