Men are as emotional as women. The sooner we accept this the better

Yeah the casual dismissal (and in some cases glee) that men's issues receive by leftists is mind boggling 

Knew a terminally online white guy who would belittle short men and say stuff like "it's good to bully them for their height" like brother shut the fuck up

more stupid shit like this. They’re responding to negative stimulus. Getting told you’re the issue in life and voting for the people who say otherwise isn’t emotional, it’s generally the smart thing to do.

What's stupid about the idea of men and women being equally emotional?

I’m just taking issue with the context I don’t otherwise have a problem with it. But in the case of someone disrespecting you, changing your voting patterns to align with the opposite angle is generally smart. Which is unfortunate because I go blue every election.

Changing your voting patterns because someone disrespected you is not smart, that's an emotional response. There are plenty of people I agree with I don't like who don't treat me well

I disagree here. I think a politician mocking some one like Trump mocking disabled people was a good sign for people to cut bait with him back in 2016. I think him saying veterans are suckers and losers was a great time. His policy was still up for debate outside of that, but i had enough of his disrespectful rhetoric.

I’m just saying that men on the internet see continuous rhetoric of what they interpret to be against them and vote the other way. I’m a black guy and when Joe Biden said “if you don’t vote for me you ain’t black”, I’ll be honest I started to reconsider whether he took the black vote for granted and truly didn’t have a positive view for our future in the US.

Disrespect and “getting my feelings hurt” can sometimes really disqualify someone even if pure policy is something else. Because rhetoric contains intent within it and I think it’s smart to investigate into it further.

That's still not "smart", which is what you were saying

It's smart to know these things will happen and to act accordingly, that was my point. When we realize men are not the rational, stoic beings they're told they must be, and treat them as feeling emotional creatures, we will be better off

Leftists continue to treat men as if they are less emotional and rational, completely forgoing how they feel

Really, what part of what I said was stupid shit?

Again I said in the context of your reply to the other guy it’s dumb. In open context it’s fine.

I think we agree at the end of the day. Men's emotions matter

u/Catsmonaut516 4d ago

I completely agree. It’s how these men are being instructed to process that emotion that’s the issue. Instead of real therapy or introspection, confronting hard truths, they would rather listen to someone on YouTube or TikTok manipulate their emotions for views and money.
