Let's just keep shitting on men collectively, surely that will help!
We aren't shiting on men collectively, we are shiting on men who voted for Trump.
Then why do I see so many people talking about issues like abortion as if all men are against it and all women are for it?
Thats not helping.
A huge amount of those men are either suffering from mental illness, or lashing out because of that hate, which is just further polarizing them.
Women are losing their rights but we need to stop and consider how the men who voted for a convicted felon authoritarian rapist are the real victims here.
And women are losing control over their own bodies
The thing not helping is that they voted for a fascist murderer that will rob and ruin the planet then die
Lashing out when hurt is a maladaptive behavior. Giving in to someone who’s lashing out doesn’t solve the underlying issues. Instead, it serves to reinforce the behavior - making it happen more frequently. By contrast, therapy can absolutely help with both the behavior and any illness that’s aggravating it.
Do you honestly think Trump’s regime is going to help such people get the mental healthcare they need? If so, what, specifically, has any of his party said or done that supports that argument?
This entire post is lashing out when hurt. All of these demographic breakdowns are.
Yes, the neglect of our nation's mental health is screwing every facet of society. The in-fighting that's exploded since the election results came out is heart-breaking to see. Victims blaming victims, while the rich and the politicians who've spent decades using their money and power to actively withhold health care, attack the educational system, and sow this distrust in the first place are, once again, getting away without blame.
Trump's not going to fix any of that. I'm going to keep bringing the focus to him and his ilk, because as easy as it is to lash out at each other, the blame squarely falls on the powerful people who've created this environment.
It's not all men, but as an American man, there is a lot of trash in this country.
Shit on men. Call the conservatives nazis when it’s the Black, Asian, and Latino voters who carried this election. Repeat quotes out of context. Spread lies. That’s how we get more people on our side, right??
No worries. The people in question don't even know Lemmy exists. This is just venting in the wind.
Thank you for proving my point
Funnily enough, my disagreeing with you doesn't make me a rapist or a sexual assailant
Perhaps not, but as a woman your response to this post nevertheless makes me view you as unsafe.
RIght, my criticism of our anti fascist political strategy obviously means I'm a menace to women. I should inform my wife.
Prognosis: Butt hurt syndrome
Prescription: 2 chill pills with every meal and and an immediate excision of victim mentality.
Yeah I'm "butthurt" that the worlds most powerful "democracy" just elected a fascist. What are you 12?
edit: I disagree with the mod action above. People should be able to see how infantile the conversation has become and maybe reflect on how we got here.
Well, to be fair we are both butthurt about the election in that case.
And sure, maybe my sense of humor is juvenile, but you really could use a chill pill. Just because they don't agree with you doesn't mean anyone accused you of being a rapist.
Edit: and fwiw, while I don't really think I was being uncivil, I don't blame the mod. It was a bit silly of a joke, and clearly your reaction shows it didn't come across as light-hearted as I intended it.
"Perhaps not, but as a woman your response to this post nevertheless makes me view you as unsafe."
wow, that didn't take long did it?
Did you reply to the wrong comment?
You remind me of "Elevatorgate" scandal. Remember these days, you'll see why in a few years.
I’m a cishet white man, so let me say: it’s our fault. You can keep shitting on us
Unless you voted for trump stfu and don't speak for anyone else dumbass
I didn’t and never will. It’s still white men’s fault
arrh
Men are getting some hate when every other group in the country gets more hate by the majority and then men lash out when they do the majority of the crimes. They have held all the power by majority for all of known history. So they lash out.
The abuser is crying because it gets a bit of its medicine now it wants to actively harm others more. Be better and you won't be hated. I don't have problems with minorities and women why I support them. It's called being one of the good one's and having empathy. I understand why someone would be apprehensive when I walk in the room. I could sell them out and jail them or SA them and get away with it for all they know. Earn trust.
Where have I heard “one of the good ones” before?
