You Incels just can't get over it I suppose.
This post is about male friendships being different than female friendships and you bring incels out like a jump scare
You're the problem here lol
My original comment was that men suck, because friendships with men are generaly like...I recently fell out with a group because they ate the sigma pill, and started to believe really dumb shit.
Yeah one of us going down the manosphere rabbithole would spoil my friendships, but that's rather far from "men suck".
Looks over at my wife ok bro
Point still stands. The exception does not make the rule.
Most men suck. At least I'm self-aware and admit it.
Username checks out.
Now I'm just left here wondering if you're doing a bit or if this is an actual viewpoint
Look at the statistics. I have both anectodal experience, have heard the opinion of various women, one of which straight up explained she feels visceral disgust from men.
Then you see the content men like, read about the rape academy, see with your own eyes how society is selfishly structured to benefit mostly men.
And men have reduced empathy and more of a bootstraps mindset.
My increasingly watching my behavior around women, so they don't feel threatened, showering, and I'm not even going to bother dating, because I know I have to fix my health first.
I don't even bother correcting my co-workers, I just respond with "yeah", "hot I guess", or visible disgust.
Just stay aware, and understand that it is not about you, men are simply more dangerous to women, and there is no way a woman can know you are safe.
Don't hit on women randomly, there's dating sites and other places like that.
Keep your violent thoughts, love of physical sports, bragging about muscles to yourself and other men.
And again, showers and deodorant.
There are a lot of sweeping conclusions and self-loathing in your comment, but i'd just like to point out the irony and hypocrisy in what you said.
You said “Men have reduced empathy” while simultaneously advocating visible disgust toward male coworkers and assuming moral guilt by category membership.
Guess what. That's not empathy either.
A disciplined man is not the same thing as a dangerous man. The internet increasingly struggles to tell the difference.
How am I not supposed to feel disgust when someone literally tells me to "grab her by the pussy" when referring to a woman who is already engaged?
Do you expect me to enjoy that?
No. Nobody should say that. Just don't make the mistake of thinking all men are like that. How could you possibly know that all 4.1 billion men on earth are the same when you have only met a tiny fraction of them?
I think it's hilarious that you said men have lower empathy and then proceeded to demonstrate that you have little empathy.
You seem to have the emotional intelligence of a wet napkin.
Fine, throw insults around, live in a bubble, and I will instead do the thing that actually gets results.
That source you screenshotted literally says "not well studied or clearly proven."
You're cherry picking information and you know it.
I don't have anywhere near enough evidence to prove anything to others, so believe what you want.
I will take the necessary steps to avoid what I know is a problem. If mainstream behavior works for everyone else, good for them.
