  • You SERIOUSLY don’t hear other people, do you? You don’t see what’s said to you, what’s right in front of you? All you think about is what you want and how you can change what they say to meet it.

    The mens lib movement, and the ridiculous attacks on women you voice don’t help people like me, who were attacked, because you change the focus, from help for everyone, to pitting men against women. No woman’s group ever blocked me access to care. Women don’t vote conservative at the rate men do, and conservative’s stop these groups from being made. The help I got was entirely from women volunteering their time and help. The people who tried to limit it, or change access, were men. The Conservative governments that remove funding for these programs are run by men, and voted for by men, and protected by men. The CEO’s who sabotage funding for public resources so they can get more tax breaks are patriarchal. Are women there? Sure. Is it run by them? No.

    Our entire political, economic, and social system set up to benefit ‘masculine’ efforts. Being raped by a woman is seen by this system as ‘effeminate.’

    The men who did eventually help me are hardcore left-wing socialists who understood, and spoke with me about how harmful the patriarchal system we all live under was to me, and others like me. We also spoke about the sheer damage the garbage people like you and your ‘mens lib’ movement has hurt us. Women didn’t even have the right as human beings until recently. In our own societies we deny them bodily autonomy and the right to vote and the right to be people under the law. And then people like you come out and say it’s all womens fault, and every time a woman speaks out about institutionally allowed sexual assault you scream from the rafters that men are hurt to, but NEVER when I asked for fucking help! NEVER when I was suffering! Only when women speak out, or someone talks about the FACT women are more likely to be assaulted, are assaulted more often, and the systems in place that allow it to happen, then you cowards come out and PRETEND TO PROTECT ME?!

    FUCK. THAT.

    You don’t represent me, and people like you make me ashamed to be a man.


  • I’m a man, and I was assaulted when I was younger, and you are exactly why men don’t come out about it. We look like whiny snivelling little children who try to pretend this is the fault of women while we live in a goddamn patriarchal society and have men at every step preventing the very care we need. A woman ran the support group I went to, a woman ran the shelter I had to stay in, a woman held my hand in the fucking hospital, and at every step men insulted me and laughed at me and asked if I was a fag, because they thought the woman was good looking. This absolute bullshit where you blame women like it’s their fault they’re attacked by men, like it’s their fault for talking about it, the entire ‘mens lib’ movement is garbage and forces those of us who’ve been through assault to be represented by the worst our sex has to offer.

    The best thing you could do to help men like me is to shut your goddamn mouth and at the very least leave us to the care of women, because they actually do seem to give a shit and at no time ever blamed ‘all men’ for what I went through.

    Fuck your reductive bullshit, fuck ever being tricked by the wealthy into attacking women on their behalf, and I still hope you never go through what I did.


  • but it’s not a great triumph of the left wing. It’s a bare minimum.

    You’re shifting goalposts. You said “Yeah. I respect the Republicans for actually getting shit done, as evil as their goals are.” and then claimed democrats don’t get anything done.

    Also here are some things the Democrats did; and I say this as a Canadian:

    • Signing the 19th Amendment into law (for non Americans, this gave women the ability to vote)

    • Social Security

    • Medicaid

    • National Industrial Recovery Act (8 hour work day, min wage, right to collective bargaining, paid overtime)

    • Unemployment Benefits

    • Civil Rights Act

    • Voting Rights Act

    • Fair Labor Standards Act (this was the end of Child Labour)

    • F.E.M.A.

    • Literally creating the Departments of Education, and Energy

    • Family and Medical Leave Act

    • National Voter Registration Act

    And those are just the larger ones I thought of offhand, I’m sure there are more. Yet I’m also pretty sure most americans would agree that things like women voting, social security, medicaid, workers rights, civil rights, voting rights, ending child labour, etc, are pretty important things that were passed into law.

    I guess it’s true what they say, being good is something anyone can do, but being evil requires actually being smart and driven.

    Which sociopath told you this? I’ve never heard that saying in my entire life.









  • Gay marriage was legalized under a majority conservative court system way back in 2003.

    Again, under a Liberal government. And I keep saying over and over – I know they phone it in and constantly give bigot ‘swing voters’ things they want. I’ve never said anything against that. It had a 60% approval by the public in 2015 when it was fully legalized. So again, for like the fifth goddamn time – Liberal governments can be forced to do these things by popular will. Conservatives won’t (I’m sure there’s like two examples someone will bring up, again, exception proves the rule.)

    To sum: Liberals have to be forced to allow LGBT rights by popular opinion. Conservatives do this.


  • I’d say it was liberals that made it happen once there was overwhelming public support, which again, is performative, but drastically different from actively suppressing it. Someone has to pass the things into laws, and in the US it’s either Republicans or Democrats, and across the board any services those poor people do have was introduced through Democrats.

    Again, under duress, I don’t argue otherwise. Up here in Canada it was the Liberals being forced to put Healthcare as a ‘universal’* right by the NDP (our Left wing party), then the NDP again to force Liberals to put Dental care through. But they actually did it, and the Conservatives don’t.




  • Users of Lemmy resort to downvoting when they can’t defend their arguments.

    You got absolutely obliterated because you posted two links to ‘articles,’ one of which is just some guys blog, and then refused to defend anything the articles said.

    Also you don’t ‘defend’ a counter argument. You started the argument, offered a blog as ‘proof’ of an issue, when pressed on what the blog said you backed down and refused to defend it, and you just accuse everyone around of you of not having independent thought.

    It is a fact that humans are more eager to show their disapproval than approval for something, like in restaurant reviews, where the only people who bother to leave a review are those with bad experiences.

    YOU LITERALLY DID THIS. A guy said ‘The Godot Engine is getting better every day.’ in a post about Microsoft screwing up an app and you, yes, you started complaining about the team behind the engine! You’re like the living embodiment of irony, hahahahahaha
