This is the kind of bullshit an alcoholic mom posts after she loses custody.
The same should be true in reverse. Couples should be trying to compassionately make each other better, no matter what gender they are. And kids lose their mind a bit when they realize their parents are humans with faults. I think that’s part of where teenage angst and rebellion comes from.
There’s no need to gender this unless we want to specifically talk about toxic culture.
Well my mother wasn’t forgiving so I guess I’m screwed.
Author is painting men as needing forgiveness as if we’re just crossing lines like it’s our nature.
That’s patriarchy baby. Same genesis as “boys will be boys” or basically that males can’t control themselves, so society needs adapt to their fickle moods
Isn’t that also the basis of the panic defense, that a man loses control of his body in response to being “tricked” into the gay or whatever shit they say.
Same basic logic as the cases where someone ties their victim to a bed, fetches some accelerant, douses them and sets them on fire in self defense.
That’s the gay panic defense. We have to specify because the police also commonly use a panic defense. Like when they shoot into a crowd and claim someone charged them. (Yes they did that, the NYPD, no they haven’t released body cam footage yet, no nobody else is supporting their story)
That’s true, damn, there really shouldn’t be any panic defense at all. Someone who “loses control of their body” still committed a crime, and while in certain cases recognition and rehabilitation can help, them “losing control” or “panicking” is not an excuse for something they still did. If being drunk isn’t an excuse panic shouldn’t be one either.
Perhaps I should play the part assigned to me.
Noooo don’t do that, you’re so pretty lol
I what? Who are you?
I am but a man.
How do you know I’m pretty?
Call it a hunch
If you feel pretty and you act pretty then you are pretty
Shhh it’s not sexism be quiet.
I’m pretty sure it is, and no.
Y’all are reading this as feminist? It’s literally an observation by some chicks on twitter, not some kind of feminist rhetoric.
Feminism is currently more preoccupied with dismantling the gender binary entirely, not reinforcing stereotypes like in this twitter post.
I’ve never had a wife, nor a daughter, so I can’t really say much about how forgiving they are. If this doesn’t match your lived experience, stop giving a fuck and move on.
Neither the image posted nor “dismantling the gender binary” are feminist. And while the latter seems a worthwhile cause that deserved its own name and slogans, the former is a piece of art which echos hateful stereotypes about men and thus causes some.very real revulsion from viewers outraged by those stereotypes.
My daughters are wayyyyy more forgiving then my wife.
Yeah, was about to say my mom would beat me with kitchen utensils until they broke for eating her crackers. My daughters just kind of hug me and say “it’s ok, dad”.
My wife is wayyyyy more forgiving than my mother lol.
You guys get forgiveness?
I think men in general have a wake-up moment when they realize no woman is going to love them the same way their mother did, that romantic love does not work the same way as familial love.
And the worst part is, if you find a woman whose love feels like your mother’s love, RUN.
I can’t speak for all men because I’ve only really known a few dozen of them well enough to judge. But I don’t remember me or any of my friends having or needing one of those moments.
The forgiveness thing is legit though. Our kids remember ALL the times we fucked up. Frustrated remarks that would roll off your spouses back are not forgotten by kids - because it hurts them more.
I hope not. My mother would beat me with whatever she could grab and once cut up all my socks because I pull them up too far.
Jokes on them I don’t even love myself
yeah yeah, we get it, you have forgiving mothers, nice humble brag.
Wow, what a bunch of disgusting, regressive assholes in this thread.
Thank you for being yourselves.
Young Reddit was the same. Hopefully Lemmy grows up like Reddit did (in this regard).
Reddit growing up, lmao
Not saying Reddit is “grown up”. Just saying Reddit grew up in this regard. In 2008 Reddit was incredibly sexist. Last I used Reddit they were much much better. At least in my experience.
I kinda assume the internet is just the same 200 dudes from Sensible Erection migrating from platform to platform.
What is that?
I see folks here are bent on proving the point.
I wonder how many people here were ready to let trump win because they didn’t want to vote for ‘Another white male’
fellow men. posting hot takes when nobody really asked is kind cringe. You’re mad about what really?
Being attacked by her new boyfriend while he tries to break into my apartment to take my 4 ear old, high on heavy drugs and psychotic
Saying ‘fellow men’ is the real cringe.
Besides, they’re posting on a public form, that sorta invites discussion, no?
Is that an exclusively male thing?
The one sided nature of these arguments
Cool, another post to shit on guys just minding their own business.
Did you also get upset when they picked the bear?
I’ve seen this bear thing multiple times. What bear? Is this a gay thing about bears and twinks?
it was a viral trend on tiktok a couple months ago, where many women said they would choose to encounter a bear rather then a man if they found themselves in the middle of a forest
Pretty solid indication of the way women are totally insulated from the realities of nature.
I think it’s a good indication of cherrypicking by the makers of the videos to get more extreme results
Thanks. That does sound very tiktok-ish.
Well how should we feel? Are we only allowed to feel bad for women?
Do you often feel bad for an entire demographic group? Or even, do you feel that way as often as you feel offended on behalf of the whole of another group?
Yes, I realize that all groups face different challenges that are often deeply unfair.
Why in earth would I compare the woman I’m blasting with my mother?! That’s kinda weird.
Your mother is kind of hot, so…
I go in with a lot of fervour myself, but “blasting”?
⚠️FREUD ALERT FREUD ALERT⚠️
These people never met my mother
Fellow bro, same here.
I hope you’re doing fine.
