    I’m a 42 year old man with a cat and still single due to living in a very rural republican area and all women here are hardcore Trump fans so I’ll just stay single and spend time with my cat.

      libertarians have neither

      I would say that an ideology based on non-violence, choice and responsibility, with those being impossible to delegate, is exactly about having a heart and a brain at least potentially, unlike the rest.

      In any case people who, I think, could be interested in dating me (maybe they were so strongly hinting at something else, but being autistic and very shy and lacking willpower, I’ll never know) were of all kinds of political views. Some of those were even glad to hear about the libertarian kind of opinions. But importantly that wasn’t the subject of our interactions.

      So don’t mix that American normalized intolerance with how women feel generally, please. Women are, ahem, as diverse as men.

    Romantic relationships aren’t the solution and seems to me like far left guys are more susceptible to the problem than conservatives.

    human beings have self-segregated into male/female as opposed to humans that can birth and humans that can’t…it seems that is where the issue lies…

        Somebody can’t tell the difference between their own identity and which identities the humanity as a whole needs. Probably.

          I can’t tell whether you’re being tautologically absurd or whether you believe there’s some important distinction there that you’re just not sharing with us.

            i still don’t get what you don’t understand? human beings have moved well beyond the need for male/female, yet here we are instead of dealing with human beings as a whole, and some can produce babies and some cannot, the fact that we even talk about it moves the human being beyond animalistic or even biologic. Men did this to themselves by continuing to be ‘men’ and not just being human…clearer?

              Whilst I admire your desire to desire to remove the barriers between people there are still differences between the sexes, both biological and socially enforced (by both men and women).

              Men did this to themselves by continuing to be ‘men’ and not just being human…clearer?

              For someone who claims to want to treat people as ‘humans’ instead of men and women, that’s a pretty hypocritical statement to make. Men are supposedly bad for not transcending their ‘male’ group identitity and becoming gender-less humans - but you’re okay with denigrating them based on their group identity?

              Men do not exist in a vacuum and you’ve fallen in to the classic trap of blaming them for the society in which they find themselves.

                men do not exist, humans who can birth and humans who cannot…you’re argument falls flat because “men” choose to be men, not just humans with masculine characteristics…

                • I’m all for abolishing gender, and I firmly believe that gender is a social construct, but that doesn’t mean gender is a choice (at least currently), nor does it mean that genders/men don’t exist.

                  Just because you and I feel that gender is useless to us (and arguably to society) doesn’t mean others have to feel the same way. Gender is oppressive, but it doesn’t have to be

                  What it means to be “a man” is not the same as all the toxic bullshit currently associated with being a man. Trans men should be allowed to identify as men without it also meaning that they’re bad people.

    Laugh it up, but don’t get angry at third party voters when you continue to pretend you don’t need those people’s votes and lose again.

        There have been many people who’ve gone viral across social media regarding their regret for voting Republican in the last election, and those are votes that could be snapped up by legitimate, thoughtful engagement.

        Instead, we get these memes that are cheering on men’s mental health and economic crises. Maybe it’s fun to do that, but it’s also stupid.

              I don’t know why you think that means we shouldn’t ridicule conservative men as a whole. What counts for “conservative” now is actual fascism, not simply being bigoted or wanting deregulation. This is how MAGA “conservatives” themselves gatekeep things, so it’s not like I’m painting with a broad brush.

              If someone escapes the cult, I’m proud of them, but I’m not pulling punches on the tribe they used to be a part of.

                The activist class doesn’t ridicule conservative men as a whole.

                They ridicule men as a whole, and ignore that the crises facing men are not imagined nor hyperbole: they’re real, and the only people acknowledging them or pretending to offer solutions are conservatives.

                Ask yourself how likely you are to trust people who punch you in the face, and how silly it is to blame them when it’s you who threw the punches and broke your hand.

                  Racists only need to trust that saying the n-word in public will get their ass beat.

                  So it is for being republican.

                  Why are you people so opposed to using shame to your strategic advantage?

                  Being conservative is not genetic: If they don’t want to deal with the extreme difficulty of being republican in public, then they should stop doing that.

                  I don’t care if they understand why or not. They will submit or perish.

                  They ridicule men as a whole, and ignore that the crises facing men are not imagined nor hyperbole

                  Just because so many men believe this doesn’t make it true. I’ve had to hang out with men who believed similar things, and in my experience they had never actually met these activists they fear. Even when there are women who think that poorly of men, most of them aren’t out there harassing random dudes. That sort of discourse is either targeted or terminally online.

                  The real failure of the left has always been offering salient narratives; catchy ideas that are convenient and empowering. Believing you’re superior for the circumstances of your birth is easier than class consciousness. Accepting that certain arguments really did have no merit is harder than doubling down.

                  Men are treated like shit by conservative ideology; a belief system that leaves many of them behind completely and works every one of them to the bone for some mythical masculine glory. I have empathy for men, as they need to escape the conservative trap that’ll chew them up and spit them out.
