What's mindblowing is that conservatives have been handed the best possible propaganda... by Democrats
Militarization of police, stop and frisk, the drug war, civil asset forfeiture, school-to-prison pipeline, income inequality in Democrat-controlled cities
But instead of leveraging that in a meaningful way, they fall back on fear of not being on top of the hierarchy; even black conservatives only go so far as "rich Democrats look down on you, vote Republican" and wonder why they aren't gaining fans that aren't white
It's like conservatives would rather live in perpetual existential dread than live in a more right-wing world where some of their leaders are identifiably and unashamedly black
Genuinely forgot that MRA zealots existed for about five years
Which is weird, since men get fucked over by capitalism in enough ways you'd think the MRA crowd would be more vocal
But nah, just on Reddit, still saying the same shit
"Men are only valued for what they provide, women are valued for just existing, being a woman is so easy"
"The reason women are doing better than men in school is purely due to malicious teaching practices"
"I wish society would let me be vulnerable and emotional, anyway, isn't it a crazy how women are so emotional and hysterical"
"What about the homeless men?! What about the male suicides?! What about false rape accusations?!"
Yeah, society sure does love women, based on the backlog of rape kits and how women are assumed incompetent at everything and medieval abortion laws being approved and how society defaulted to "what if we go TOO FAR" within a day of MeToo hitting headlines and your career as an artist/actor being completely dependent on whether you're attractive and if you're even slightly famous an entire Internet/tabloid cottage industry will try to record you naked and instead about worrying about the very small chance of being accused or rape you can worry about the considerably larger chance of actually being raped, and hey, a society is clearly biased towards women if marital rape was legally considered as 'not as bad' as "real rape" up until the 2000s
Yeah, being leered at from day one of puberty and being physically weaker on average and being told "just leave that uncomfortable situation/that abusive boyfriend, what's the big deal" and being considered damaged goods if you ever admit to being raped or sexually abused or assaulted, sure is an easy life, nothing quite like having men froth at the mouth to see your ass then immediately call you a whore/slut if you exhibit any of kind of sexuality that isn't catered to male voyeurism
Yeah, men have it rough, having their value attached to expertise/wealth/intellect/humor/charisma/artistry, things that can be trained and improved, unlike those damn lazy women who have it easy by having the roulette of attractiveness spun at birth and are locked into those features until death
For a group of people who can't shut up about how strong and brave and rational and honorable and principled they are by virtue of their Y chromosome, they do a fantastic job of concealing those traits and going on about hunter-gatherers and primitive societies that they know nothing about and that they'd be banished from/die on a hunt in on day one
Damn, dealing with rightists is easier than this, since MRAs have already forfeited so they have no incentive to stop wallowing in defeatism and self-pity, there's no "let's make a better world for men, and by extension for women, and by extension our children," it's just walking away with their tails between their legs
If there's a benefit, these people refusing to marry means less kids will have to grow up with whackjob fathers
