why i think that men dont align with feminism and the left at large
  • This whole post can be summarized by: "When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression".

    The Left (I myself identify as a Leftist) behaves the way they do (again, ideologies are not monoliths) generally because, essentially, Men have always been in power, have shaped society, and have benefited from this shaped society since the dawn of time. Yes this is the Patriarchy. In our patriarchal society, women are objectified and sexualized from a young age, with the cat-calling and sexual harassment starting in the teen years or younger. 1 out of every 6 women in america have been the victim of sexual assault/rape. I myself have several female employees that have been the victimized by this, and one of them even said that her mother told her "if you were in a relationship with him it can't be rape".

    When men complain about Men's Rights/Inequality, it sounds a lot like the rich complaining that workers want higher wages in an age of record corporate profits. "Crocodile Tears" often sums it up. When a man complains about a perceived slight, expecting everyone to drop everything to help him, it's hard to do that when what that man has experienced is just a fraction of what you go through constantly.

    Leftists and feminists calling for equality does not make the life of the oppressor worse. It just means things will be equal. Men saying "it's not fair" rings hollow when men have been oppressing women for millennia, and all women want is to be treated equally.

    oh and denigrating Jordan Peterson is good. He is someone actively funneling people towards facscism and nazi-ism. Men need someone promoting Positive Masculinity, not telling men that a woman being mean to them means all women are evil. He's like the king of the incels and if you look up to him you need to seriously re-examine your life.

  • I feel like less of a man because of how emotionally sensitive I am.
  • What you're describing (your description of others) sounds like toxic masculinity. You're better off not experiencing these things. When "men" seem "more in control of their feelings", they're often just bottling them up, which detrimental consequences later. You sound like you're more emotionally intelligent than then the men around you in your life, and there's nothing wrong with that. In fact, it makes you more likely to have successful, happy relationships.

  • The irony
  • A huge amount of Christians don't even believe what's in the Bible, if they've read it at all. Jesus was a brown communist who was murdered by the police and his #1 teaching was "don't be a dick to people".

  • what does it mean that Beehaw "defederated" from lemmy.world?
  • Isn't this like... the whole point of the Federated Universe? The mods do Beehaw want their server to be a "safe space". They're perfectly within their rights to restrict who can post in their own community. But you, the user, are not in any way beholden to their whims, and can make an account on any other Lemmy instance, or create your own and make it as restricted or unrestricted as you please.

    It seems logical to me that the creators of a safe space for marginalized communities would restrict their community from the internet at large because people on the Internet feel emboldened by anonymity to attack others.
