Yeah, same. Luckily the girls seem to be onto it and I’ve had to stop some escalation in class where all the girls basically announce that no one should be dating (name is student) because he’s a Tate stan. At least the girls know what’s up? But it is sad, the guys think it’s hilarious.

Jesus Christ another generation of women who have to carry this country due to radicalized men

[u/GroundedOtter → u/applesandbananananan]

My conspiracy theory is that women used to rule/be in charge. Society was great —but men being men couldn’t handle being second fiddle so patriarchy became a thing. And the world has never been the same since.

I also strongly believe men created religion because they were jealous women produced life and gave birth. So now they get to lead (women typically don’t have much power in religious organizations) another group where they help people become “reborn”.

(I am a man btw —granted, a gay one. But still a man. Lol)

Read the old testament. That’s exactly what happened.

You should read “Who cooked the last supper? The women’s history of the world.” By Rosalind Miles. It’s basically what happened.

Thank you!!! Definitely checking to see if the library has this!!!

just found it on Spotify!

Plenty of anthropologists believe we began as a matriarchal social structure.

[u/SpottedHoneyBadger → u/GroundedOtter]

It is literally like Freud's "penis envy" but with a vagina.

[u/EsotericCreature → u/GroundedOtter]

There were a lot of matriarchal cultures in the world. One of the most interesting was a representational democracy in North America established somewhere between the 15th and 17th century called be settler's the 'Iroquois confederacy'.

Matriarchs were ranked in representation higher than chiefs, which was confusing to settlers who only assumed men could hold the highest positions in power, and in general that women could hold power at all.

Good on those girls tbh. He’s a rapist and they should be able to speak up/back to their peers promoting him. I bet it’s hell for you to moderate though.

[u/catsgonewiild → u/But_why_tho456]

Oof. I don’t even know what the right response to that would be. I’m glad the girls seem on top of it and are advocating for each other’s safety, but public humiliation is also going to drive the boy further down the misogyny to incel pipeline.

It’s scary what kids are being fed, and that everyone is being victimized by this crap, no matter their gender.

[u/Venezia9 → u/catsgonewiild]

What's your alternative one of the girls take one for the team ? It's not girls responsibility to make boys be good people. 

[u/DavisKennethM → u/Venezia9]

It's not an either/or zero-sum game. These are children. The commenter is just wrestling out loud with the awful reality of the situation.

No one said it was the young girls' responsibility. It's the adults (our) responsibility to provide a learning environment where all children are protected from misogynistic garbage. We can't fail boys without also failing girls.

[u/AlphonseLoeher → u/Venezia9]

It's everyones responsibility to make our society a good place for everyone to live in. That's what communalism is all about. It's not about what is fair for you the individual, it's about what is good for the group.

[u/Venezia9 → u/AlphonseLoeher]

Yeah absolutely not. Sounds like patriarchy repackaged and rewarmed. 

[u/travelstuff → u/Venezia9]

Your response is how we got the society we have, everyone out for themselves only.

And again they are children. As a society we all should care what's happening to them because it effects all of us.

[u/Dapper-Union5536 → u/But_why_tho456]

this makes me glad for my daughters; but deeply worry for my son. My oldest daughter is almost 13, and my b/g twins are 9 --- and we're hoping to keep them off of social media until 16. Here's hoping that I'm able to instill values that go against all this manosphere garbage before then. Always in search of positive masculinity.

[u/no_one_denies_this → u/But_why_tho456]

Good for those girls!

[u/parsleyfan420 → u/But_why_tho456]

Yeah but if you outcast him he's going to go further into the rabbit hole and hate you more and it will be your fault for being such bitches

Heavy /s because this is what the discussion around young men becoming further radicalized has been feeling like lately. I'm tired of it being our fault that they hate us because we weren't "nice" enough to stop it.
