I think not being overly nice to regressive women in comfy, first world countries is the way to go tbh. Like, they are not going to listen to common sense advice, nor are they going to react well to you trying to save them. When they complain about feminism keeping them from being SAHMs and putting them in the workplace, you actually need to remind them that the reason they don't have the life they want is because a rich, generous man does not want them. If they desperately want to be at home they need to lower their standards, learn to coupon, and live a more humble life or clock in to afford the salon treatments/Sephora/Target/Amazon shopping sprees. I don't particularly care to tell women to lower their standards, but it is the truth for if they want to leave the workforce like they claim they want to sooo badly. It is not a tragedy that they won't be like rich socialite women who become content creators and show off their overconsumption. There is not a time and place on the planet before this where the people lower on the pyramid could do a nothing-ass office job in air-conditioning and get such a buffet of instant gratification everywhere, and this has caused some women to lose their sense of perspective and reality.

Was browsing TikTok and found this, some model complaining about feminism and working. Of course she said some Shera7esque one-liners of never doing coffee dates which are iconique~ or whatever but I found this clip interesting for many reasons

This is from Love is Blind: Habibi which is set in the UAE. What big explosion of feminism has even occurred to influence UAE policy and/or culture (or for most of the countries that the contestants have roots in) for this woman to complain about it?

This woman kinda seems like the perfect example of a post I made beforehand. Aspiring trophy wives who struggle with the realization that they are aiming for a trophy display that is above what they can actually attract. Instead of being grateful that they don't have to lower their standards and continue to hold out on a match they want (regardless of how realistic their chances are of finding the man they want) because they are able to work outside the home, they cry about "wahhhh working!11.

You simply have to laugh.

As a pragmatic-libfem defender, and even general libtard supporter, I think people miss the mark when it comes to understanding why da evil libfems defend sex work, especially the ones who would never do it themselves. The average woman in these spheres isn't dumb, on a visceral level they know how much baggage comes with doing sex work, whether it is the actual "work" or the social consequences of it. They just don't want the women who do engage in it to be treated as subhumans, it's really not that complex. The yass-qweening of it a lot of times is just cope coming from sex-workers themselves trying to uplift themselves since they are made into pariahs. Idk, I see some weird ass interpretations of all of this when there is the straightforward one right there...

Another aspect about her is that she's not a blue/red/whatever color hair SJW who spouts out word salad milkshakes of uberwoke nonsense. She thinks the cultural appropriation discussions are silly and thinks a lot of the social media activist stuff pushes people away. Her approach is very tame and reasonable, surely.

Except no. What she considers to be normal dialogue amongst her and her friends in her home state is basically extremist shit to the people here. She might as well join the blue haireds screaming cultural appropriation in their eyes.

She shared the sentiment that she thinks that all billionaires are bad people and it caused quite the active discussion amongst the people sitting at her table. She had a very noble-savage-esque assumption about the people at her table, that they would sooo be ready to rise up since they at least must hate The Man too. Bonding over that is going to bring some of the misguided souls who vote MAGA over, right?

Turns out, you have one conservative Christian girl who, aside from book smarts, doesn't have much going on in her head, a temporarily embarrassed billionaire who is going to pull himself up by the bootstraps, and a girl who belongs to some richie rich family who definitely benefits from the 1%er's wealth since her family is a bit higher up on the pyramid. Granted, one of the people she was discussing with was definitely very much "The Establishment", but even the people who she thought she could have common ground with didn't share that sentiment and thought it was incorrect, too harsh, "people should do what they want with their wealth, why should billionaires donate, do you donate, why aren't you volunteering more?" (<------said by a guy who grew up in poverty and had to the join the army to go anywhere in life)

You cannot "middle ground" these people dawg.

I'm fr, the types of women who think their female bosses are "worse" are many times incompetent women who are okay with their male higher-ups treating them like stupid children and eye-candy, and getting mad that their female higher-ups expect them to actually be competent.

After the aftermath of whatever the hell we experienced earlier this month, my friend who is originally from a blue state who is going to school here (super red state) told me about how she watches a lot of "Middle Ground" videos on YouTube. Okay, not much to say there. This inspired her to want to politely ask a classmate who I can easily peg as Traditional Christian Conservative more about his political views. I also don't have much to say to that either, I don't think it is wrong to have a polite discussion with others and this guy is usually open to the idea of having religious and/or political discussions. He's a nice, polite guy but I know that I could never actually be friends with him for obvious reasons.

When she finally asked him, he gave me answers that I expected but that she did not. She expected that since this man is going to be a healthcare provider and that he seems to be fairly logical in "other areas" that he would maybe be a more liberal Christian. Or, that if he is a Conservative Republican that it might be due to "the economy" and that he prioritizes that over the possible fallout that could occur in his future field of work due to this upcoming administration. Nope.

He told her that he is fairly sympathetic to the economic policies of the Dems, but will that his big issues to vote over are abortion and LGBTQ issues and that he thinks JD Vance is "a pretty cool guy" that sometimes says crazy things but is preferable to him than Trump. He also readily admitted that the economy is not that high of an issue for him to vote on. Personally, I was more shocked he didn't put on a front about caring about "muh economy" more, but that's about it.

I don't knock her for wanting to know how the "other side" thinks, but this is why I don't believe in this feel-good middle ground "we all want the same things and should come to a compromise" nonsense. Do we? Do we really?
