Rip Feminism And Anti-consumerism Ig

Ngl I think those arguments are how I found your page and I did find them interesting to read (I was already a feminist though), but if it's giving you a headache then I would say take a break. Or step away once it degenerates into even dumber shit lol.

I am actually in a weird situation because I don't know shall I continue trying to debate the usual circle. Obviously it's impossible to change their minds because online discussions never achieve this, so my aim was their followers, but I don't know does it even work either.

I feel like disproving such nonsense is my duty, but I don't know how to actually do it

statement from mahmoud khalil shared by the center for constitutional rights

I think this deserves its own post without my personal ramblings mixed in:

Whenever anyone panics or whines or scaremongers about the higher rate of women attending university, it's important to examine why more women are motivated to attend university in the first place, because I guarantee you it's no female privilege of any sort that's driving more women to obtain university degrees.

Specifically you need to look at the job opportunities that are available to men without a university degree vs. the job opportunities available to women without university degrees.

A lot of the jobs / sources of income that are stable and pay well despite not needing university degrees, trade jobs like a mechanic or a plumber or a welder, are heavily male dominated industries. And male dominated industry is pretty synonymous with hostile towards women. I cannot blame women who resist entering a field they're likely to face a lot of harassment, bullying, and even assault for daring to be a woman who enters a male dominated job.

And when you look at the types of jobs that are available to women who don't attend university often most of their opportunities are going to be food service or retail, jobs that pay less than a living wage for you to be on your feet all day facing constant verbal abuse from customers and managers alike.

So if a woman wants to be paid her own living wage and lower her chances of having to deal with abuse and harassment in the workplace, then she's more likely to be pushed to having to go to university.

There are of course exceptions to this (after all nothing is black and white and everything has nuance) such as many technician jobs in the medical field don't require a university degree, and are female dominated, and fetch a decent salary above what a service industry employee might make.

But overall it's interesting when you compare a lot of "pink collar" jobs like nurse or primary school teacher vs blue collar jobs like mechanic or plumber, the wages are comparable, but the "pink collar" jobs like nurse or primary school teacher will require a university degree whereas the blue collar jobs with a similar salary don't.

So when someone tries to worry and panic over the poor boys not going to university as much as their female counterparts and site the higher rates of women attending university as some sort of female privilege, to be perfectly honest I hardly consider it a privilege to need a university degree just to have a living wage without having to face harassment for entering a male dominated industry, to have more schooling than a man just so you can earn the same wages as his or even lower.

Ok sure yeah I get it the "I dont hate all women just those stuck up bitches" It's not really a lie when it comes to libfems, they do usually believe that.

Obviously a system that puts men on top will be more beneficial for men. So sure if you understand what a patriarchy is, yeah that would be a lie to make men sympathize with women (what a horrible goal how manipulative/s).

giving up on the "patriarchy hurts men too" gambit, i thought it might work when i saw laci green do it ten years ago but it has run its course and id like to start telling men that patriarchy overwhelmingly benefits them again

this literally ^

A new study shows female bonobos team up to fend off males in the wild. Scientists have long wondered why bonobos live in generally female-d

Now why would the end of the human race be the only answer for getting rid of patriarchy?

lowkey getting tired of self defeatist blackpill attitudes "the patriarchy will never end" Why not? We went from using boats to rockets in like 200 years but you think men will forever have privilege in society? Why do you think that?

Honestly I've noticed that a lot of the anti-terf shit is like McCarthyism

Like the "if they talk about feminism a lot they're probably a TERF"

reminds me of the shit like "If they talk about workers rights they're probably a communist"

Like damn maybe kind of accurate but how is there no "are we the baddies" moment here?

Like seriously what is this shit bro? @oarfishing  https://www.tumblr.com/oarfishing/758650339125821440/alright-im-sick-of-seeing-terfisms-on-my-dash?source=share

you have a blog where you send weird rape threats to terfs bro

you're worse than chronically online, I was being lighthearted

Ex-trans man again, I just have to come back to ask one last thing: how can you "stomp on my womb" when I had it removed? I had a hysterectomy due to my dysphoria – why would you assume otherwise?

Aw, I bet you must feel like a defective female :( how can you be a good little vagina if you don’t even have a womb?

It’s okay. We’ll just stomp out your bowels or something. Less climactic, but it’ll do.
