And yet these “all ____ matter” comments only come up when someone tries to take the spotlight away from white men. Women getting the support they need has been fought tooth and nail by men for fucking ages. The group that only just got the ability to have their own bank account doesn’t owe us fuck all in politeness especially when so many of us act like goddamn degenerates all the fucking time. They still struggle to even get healthcare that isn’t designed for men.
What you’ve got in your comment is a deflection away from the real use of these things. It’s not clever, you’re just being an ass.
The original topic was about the radicalisation of men. One poster commented how it might feel that the democratic party doesn't care about men's issues. Another replied and tried to trivialize those issues. So some users advocate for empathy. And you reply with "but what about women?" Do women face issues? Absolutely. Arguably more than men, I don't know. But that's beside the point here. The topic was radicalisation of men, and a possible cause. I would argue, you're acting like an ass right now.
And I’m pointing out that men have not been forgotten, they’re just whining because it’s not about them 100% of the time anymore and they need to get over themselves. Also, their sexism caused a lot of the problems that women face and are now having to do all this fucking work to fix.
Boo-fucking-hoo.
I hope you find some compassion one day, as it seems like you are part of the problem.
I don’t think the person looking to listen to the historically margainlized group is the one lacking compassion. The people who are demanding said group be nice to them or they’ll leave them to the wolves, however…
If men hadn't been forgotten, they wouldn't be like they are.
