Been reading a couple of threads over at npub1zdp33shl69xr0uq3x8n5gsjykq9upycwh6nqm02c3f6x0frrn0dq42vqv8 (npub1zdp…vqv8) about feminism and the life of men.
And it's appalling to me how many of the men responding pointed at feminism as the cause of their pain and suffering as men. That feminism had taken away their ability to be manly.
This is only true if your definition of manly includes "oppresses women regularly". Feminism has been a positive for society in many ways, not least being the de-emphasis on strictly segregated gender roles. It is the patriarchy, and men's control of it, which is keeping these men down - the hierarchy placing men who treat women as objects above men who treat us as people in our own right.
It is patently absurd to suggest that feminism is to blame for men's troubles; it is their internal sense of being required to fulfill rigid gender roles, among which is the imperative to dominate rather than be equals with women, that is bringing them pain. Feminism fights against those rigid roles. We're trying to free men from having to set themselves up with blinders on. Feminism fights against the idea that only women who are "fuckable" have value. It is this concept, rather than feminism, which keeps men in the incel community.
