  • Helping men is possible in many ways that are totally independent of women. Better education from child level on how to process, express, and handle emotions. More spaces for boys and men to bond and do things as a group away from screens. Non commercial third spaces have almost vanished and are needed direly.

    making women less biased against dating men that they “don’t need”?

    Sounds like a typical incel meme. Almost all (hetero) women want a man as a partner. Even if they don’t necessarily need one to have a career, children, a bank account, live their own lives, and so on. The desire to share their life with a man is certainly there and strong. Maybe not in the basement you retreated to. The outside world is packed full of women looking for a suitable man as a partner.

    Sexuality, procreation, and pair bonding are hardwired instincts in humans and still there.

    Spend some time in places where actual real women are and listen to them to get a reality check.

    There are so many mid 30s to early 40s women desperately looking for a husband to have a family with. That’s when those who thought they didn’t need a man, realize their deeper desire.


  • It’s a bit more complicated than feminists bad. What happened is that they were successful in many ways for example education is now dominated by women and girls have better grades and achieve higher than boys. Boys have fallen by the wayside. Boys only institutions that catered to their needs have shrunk, ceased to exist, or been replaced by mixed. Men’s issues like higher mental health issues, more homeless, more incarceration, more suicide, loneliness, addiction, etc. don’t get much attention. That’s not the feminists’ fault. Blaming men and patriarchy for every ill in society is of course an easy scapegoat and makes men feel guilty.

    The far right caters to this feeling, telling men that they are okay, important, and accepted. They explicitly try to deepen the gap, not bridge it.

    A better future and society is possible when we overcome the division.




  • Not all guards of concentration camps or SS members were prosecuted. That was also an unusual situation as the Nazi state and the SS ceased to exist and was occupied for decades.

    No ICE agent will be prosecuted for conducting arrests or executing warrants against illegal immigrants. Once mass torture, inhumane treatment, extralegal executions and such start, it becomes more risky for them.

    We don’t know how bad it will get yet or what comes after. In the best case Trump and republicans lose the next elections. A New Democrat government could simply downsize ICE and only prosecute a handful of bad apples. Remember what happened after Abu Ghraib.



  • Look up what happened during the second intifada. That’s the context. Of course that also includes militancy, violence, and terrorism.

    BDS

    Doesn’t even support a two state solution for example.

    Vietnam and South Africa were different. Neither of which ended through university protests. The Vietnam war was too expensive and politically unwinnable. Apartheid South Africa ended because the ANC was able to alleviate the fears of white South Africans from being massacred if they lose power. Neither of which applies to Palestine.

    Israel(is) can’t go their home elsewhere, like the American soldiers. They also have valid fears of being exterminated if they lose some nance over the situation. Something like October 7th Never happened in South Africa.

    Harping on these other situations hinders your ability to understand what’s going on in Israel/Palestine.
