I’ve had people follow me around on reddit too as well as other platforms. Comes with the territory. It’s not a lemmy thing, it’s a people thing.
I don’t think it’s prudent to dismiss lemmy users as outliers when their experiences seem to tally with reports from MSM.
I’ve read as much of it as my time permits. Just because their experiences don’t tally with your own is not grounds to dismiss them outright.
They most likely do talk to women. You are being intentionally obtuse.
If he was gay he wouldn’t be in this conversation at all.
Weaponized homophobia is every female narcissists favorite tool against men.
I’ve decided to stop wasting my time. I have no respect for feigned concern for the purposes of winning an argument. You live in your own bubble where all women are wonderful, considerate feminists who seek men for equitable relationships. Damn near everything I’ve seen in this life tells me otherwise. I can acknowledge that there are some women who genuinely believe and act in the spirit of the theory that you propose but I’m not naive enough to believe that it’s the majority.
I have seen gender judicial bias up close and personal. I have witnessed a precursor of such in the manner in which educational establishments treat males versus females and let it not be a Black male, then you’ll really see how much contempt western society has for you. I have seen the run up to male suicide and the lack of consideration for male mental health. I have witnessed the homeless epidemic, which of course has impacted far more men than women.
I’ve been involved in bitcoin since it was worth pennies. I’m involved monero for the tech, not the wealth acquisition. Monero in particular is about being able to send money to whomsoever you want, wherever they are in the world for whatever reason you desire. Definitely not for wealth. You’ve got the wrong guy with that.
I do not purposefully ignore women in any space. Back to the actual topic:
What makes a man “marriageable”? In addition to being a romantic arrangement and a family form, marriage is an economic institution. So, when men lack economic resources, they may be less likely to marry. https://www.weforum.org/stories/2018/11/what-upticks-in-u-s-economic-inequality-and-incarceration-mean-for-marriage/
Men’s odds of being in a relationship today are still highly correlated with their income,” Stone said. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/02/america-marriage-decline/681518/
Many Americans identify as Christian while also openly chasing status and wealth. My point being, ideology does not always change or improve behavior. Most people who claim a particular dogma will not accept or even understand its core tenets. I dare say that most self identified feminists are not in it for the benefit of all.
I have had conversations with such women, listened to their issues and watched as they have dismissed the concerns of others. I know from close acquaintences that white feminists really struggle to extend that spirit of equality to non-white female feminists, how much worse will they thus act towards men?
There is a reason why marriage rates have dropped while rates of sexlessness for younger men have increased. Maybe your circle and observations are not the norm?
P.S. Your assertions about cryptocurrency are way off base, I’m into tech. I used to mine and there are some projects that I have found useful. I do not associate with too many crypto people in meatspace.
Nobody really cares about men besides a minority of men and an even smaller minority of women. The remainder only consider men in as much as it pertains to validating women. If you reduce women to being brood mares and play things for men it’s sexist but men being seen as nothing but wallets, sentries and sex toys for women is just fine.
Maybe the sheep should stop fucking the birds.
Paywall.
Great.
