    This is what I don’t get about the manosphere movement.

    Young guys watch these influencers being abrasive macho dorks, talking exactly like this. They somehow combine that “dorky, petty semantic minutia” argument style with being aggressively condescending and being a macho jerk, all at once. I’m a pretty isolated guy, yet it’s amazing how grating it is to me.

    And men watching these influencers conclude that… other people will appreciate that?

    How to get the point across a bit better while also pointing out the guy actually doesn’t care.

      These types of guys are split between contrarians, guys that take any criticism of “men” as a personal attack against them, and misogynists who just don’t want equality. In any case, it’s why we can’t have nice things in our society.

        Neat way to categorize those who don’t walk in lockstep with you as the enemy. I seek equality but refuse to be associated with a movement that sees me as a threat for my gender. Is your anger real or is it caused by cognitive dissonance trying hold egalitarian ideals in an inherently unegalitarian framework.

          I’m guessing you’re the “guys that take any criticism of men as a personal attack against them”. Especially using the word “enemy”.

          Is your anger real

          Where’s my anger? Cut and paste it for me. Or are you assuming I’m some kind of “angry feminist” trope?

          The rest of you’re comment is all hat and no cattle. You appear to literally be the kind of guy depicted in the Comic.

            When the criticism is “How dare he express his own pain.” Yeah you better fucking believe I’ll see you as the enemy and come out swinging, men are EXTREMELY disadvanted in society regarding having our mental health issues and trauma recognized as legitimate.

            Edit: After surviving my last suicide attempt I promised myself to never be silent when the same pain that eats at my soul to this day is dismissed. This entire post is soaked in it.

    Men and women will never be equal just like any animal in nature
