I mean, listen, I put my sweatshop pants on one leg at a time like everyone else, and I still manage to pay attention. I don’t always have the deepest understanding of stuff, but how deep do you have to dig before you understand “I’ll be a dictator on day one” is not ok?

I just don’t understand how these people move through the world. Yes, it’s exhausting to be plugged in, and it’s totally possible to consume too much “news”, but how do people just not think about the wider world? I mean, I’ve got a job and a family, and I somehow manage to also be concerned about current events and global affairs.

I dunno. Maybe I’m the problem. Maybe I am crazy.🤷

Bro, that’s the fuckin point. The patriarchal nature of our society has done this, not feminism. And since we still live under a largely patriarchal society, men are the ones empowered to do something about it. Should those women individually be better? Yeah, probably. But they’re still not really the ones running the fuckin show.

You want to talk about cleaning up house? Maybe look around at what you can do instead of expecting a group that has been treated as property for the last 1000 years to do the emotional labor that us men have been neglecting in order to spare your feelings.

Maybe you should work on your reading comprehension, because that’s what I and like 4 other commenters have been saying. Then you can go ahead and submit a complaint to the president of feminism, since you seem to think that they’re having a meeting and deciding that you personally aren’t masculine enough for them.

Grow up.

If a woman tells a man to having emotions isn’t manly then they’re not acting as a feminist. That, by definition, is an idea that comes to us from the religious, moral, and civic tradition that produced the modern patriarchy. The people, men and women, who say and do things that reflect and maintain those ideas are failing the ideals of feminism.

To use an analogy, North Korea calls itself a democracy. They do not elect a leader. That doesn’t mean democracy has failed, just that this country is doing anti democratic things.
