There’s plenty of support communities for SA survivors… Not sure what you’re going on about. If one needs some assistance locating such a support group in your area? If so, feel free to DM me, and I’ll be more than happy to assist them!

But, without kids, you can, of course, work on yourself, to make yourself a good human.

The alternative is to learn to not be a shitass… This is another part of toxic masculinity: Demanding to be spoonfed every single thing they have to do, rather than perform the emotional labor themselves of self-introspection.

So, go learn how to not be a shitass, and strive to be the one dude in the room that women tend to say,“… but not you, of course!” when bitching about toxic masculinity.

Don’t take it personal, because well, you’re doing exactly what misogynist claim women do: Being irrational and emotional over a set of facts.

If you have kids? Don’t teach them that the default acceptable behavior is toxic masculinity. For example, don’t be a bully, and don’t be afraid to stand up for others who may be weaker than yourself against bullies. Abhor violence, but accept sometimes the threat of violence is a deterrent to toxic behavior. etc etc.

Its not complicated, but it can be difficult to start down the track of that self-introspection.

That sounds like continuing to ignore these issues.

Ignoring what issues? That men, quite often, due to what adults teach kids, are shitty people? Or that it takes a bit of deprogramming oneself to start treating women like equal humans, rather than objects to be won?

Yes, it is the default in our society, for men to be shitty. Because we are still teaching our kids toxic masculinity, rather than healthy masculinity.

I hate myself for being a man. All I feel anymore is guilt and shame. And there is nothing that can be done.

Um, that’s not healthy there…

I mean, I’m a dude, and I realize most dudes suck… But that doesn’t make me hate myself. It just makes me want to be “better” so I’m not “one of those men” or one of the dudes who when women are bitching about shitty men, they turn and say,“Well, not you, of course!”

I think this is where Reich Wingers distort the message: The message shouldn’t make you hate yourself for being a dude, but should make you hate the toxic masculinity you were taught, and for you to rise above that.

ok, I love this idea lol. “PlentyOfRamen”

Another fairy tale is thinking that Vooting Bloo No Matter Hoo can defeat fascism.

Netanyahu scammed. Dunno about getting scammed.

I’ve been doing what I plan to do for the next 2, 4, 8, 20 years: work to build just systems, that dont rely on the state to meet the material needs of the working class in my community.

So, again, what are you doing?

Well, it’s two years to the next federal vote.

What are you going to do in the meantime?

So, ready to do more than just vote?

Yes, we have power, which we can use to toss off the chains of the oppressors, and seize the means of production.

Ready to help?

No, more like “both of these people should be tried for crimes against humanity, so I support neither”

As far as “how do I win a war” it starts with not supporting a capitalist, because as long as they have power, the working class will be oppressed.

Bo, the6 sent the message of "both of these are atrocious human beings, so I will support neither "

No, they sent a message saying “Both of these choices suck, badly.”

Not vote “Yes” on appointments.

They can obstruct. And they aren’t even doing that.

They can radicalize people to resist the tyrant.

They can do an awful lot with that Bully Pulpit they all have, by nature of their office.

So…

What are the Dems doing, to combat this? I’m seeing very little action.
