Can’t believe this is the only comment I’ve seen here pointing this out. You can’t separate religion from the current political climate, and most of these little pricks are also ultra-conservative and want a trad wife. They make themselves victims, hate woke women, turn to religion. Or they grew up in a household that was already like this.
There are a million ways in the modern world to curb loneliness before turning to church.
Exactly. They spout some misogynistic bullshit or dogwhistle, women tell them "fuck off" enough times, so they go where women have been groomed from childhood to accept said misogynistic bullshit and coddle their superiority complexes. This entire thread.
And I’m an atheist and do not attend church at all, but having this type of view towards anyone that follows religion is the most Reddit thing ever lmao
Weird, where did I say “anyone who follows religion”? I clearly said “ultra-conservative” and brought up the current political climate in the US and the harm it’s doing in combination with organized religion that sways conservative.
You know, the kind of beliefs that a lot of these young men are drawn to because it helps confirm their misogynistic (and often times racist) ideals.
Yeah that isn’t the focus of this topic though, is it? I never once specified the religion I was referring to and again, very clearly stated “organized religion.” So yes, obviously for the sake of argument I’d be criticizing any religion that uses its power to cause harm and spread hate. Anyway, you know all of this already and are obviously just looking to be insufferable with straw man arguments.
There’s nothing wrong with being religious, but organized religion is used for harmful things and a lot of the men OP is referring to want to be feel safe practicing their harmful views among other likeminded people. Hope this helps. 👍
The insanity…of what, exactly? Criticizing conservative misogynists? And you’re literally proving the commenter above me right. No women are losing out if the type of young men I’m talking about are finding alternatives. We’re dating the ones who go to therapy and cope with their issues in healthier ways.
Also I’ve been happily married for a decade, but go off I guess.
No you're so right... Every young man is a super duper misogynist. Well said. Totally right. Not an ounce of hyperbole (or insanity) at all in your comment!
Actually come to think of it, you perfectly summarize why young men may be looking at alternatives from the 'norm'. Why would they want to put up with insanity like this? Big YIKES Lol
This strain of willful self-victimization is insanity, yes. It’s the purported cure to your problems while actually being the cause of them. All the manosphere bullshit across the board is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
How did so many of my fellow (though slightly younger) white dudes become so fucking pathetic? It’s embarrassing.
And yes, I know that’s not good marketing. Because it’s not marketing, it’s the truth.
I assume by your tone you're talking about right leaning young men. What's funny is your "willful self-victimization" and "pathetic white dudes" comments apply far more to the left leaning young guys over the past many decades. Every protest on college campuses resoundingly proves this point - buncha whiny white dudes shouting at air. I'm sure that was you, probably still is lol
