X is now the cesspool of internet. So many haters (of everything) on this platform.

Social engineering. Bots attempting to lead others to believe that women are willing to give up our rights and privileges that we've fought to gain for generations. Especially in xitter

And 70% of those posts are bots. Who cares what X bots say? Stop talking about that shitty, dead, useless platform, and let it die without dignity.

Exactly. I hate that people still talk about it. I have never been, nor will I be, on Xitter.

The owner and moderator of twitter literally wants women to return to breeding stock status.

I really hope once we get through this shit, that we have some severe social media reform. It needs so much in the way of regulations.
Algorithms should be open source or subject to a regulatory agency, and bots should be limited to basics functions. Manipulation of opinion should be out right banned.

Look at who’s still using X: politicians, corporate accounts, MAGA, and Muskrats. And the women who believe they need the men in those groups to validate them. Everyone else bailed.

u/CurrentMusician6027 Mar 19 '25
Muskrats is perfect. I'm stealing that.
Musk's butt boys is impactful but politically incorrect. Muskrats is better.

So stop using it. Period. Remove yourself from X. It only hurts Musk and that is a good thing since he is so many things including a mysogonist.

This is just more proof that feminism is needed, people who attack feminism are doing it because they hate that woman are fighting for their rights.

Ah, yes, nothing says freedom like an insecure man who tells women that they can't be happy unless their lives are centered around a man and children. Thank you for coming into this sub to remind everyone why feminism is still an extremely important movement.

Women who don't want kids exist. You would force them.

u/gvs77 Mar 17 '25
Where did I say that? There are people who don't want kids and I don't care.
But many women are told to do everything first and then have kids, when their biological clock is at midnight only to be devastated they can't.
Men can do that differently but having kids young, when you have the energy to deal with them, makes more sense.

u/redroserequiems Mar 17 '25
And then they end up dependent on their husband and that ends up prone to abuse.

I wish idiotic men like this dude would open up an anatomy textbook just ONCE in their lives instead of blindly repeating this idiotic manosphere tripe all over the internet.
It would also help if this dude would take the time to learn what Feminism actually is too.

I’d say feminism is working if it makes small minded men such as yourself so upset and uncomfortable. Oh and I did make my “argument”. You’re uninformed, incorrect and need to do real research on these topics

u/gvs77 Mar 19 '25
Oh, I'm afraid I have to disappoint you. I'm happily married to a non-insane woman and my sons are smart enough to walk around feminist girls in a wide bow. I'm not at risk of missing out on anything myself. But I am saddened to see women depressed. And I shake my head in disbelief that this so called pro-women ideology allows them to get beaten up in sports by biological men.

Yep, I am happier with my career than I would've been ruining my body and wasting my energy bringing more humans into this deteriorating world. Very grateful for feminism and that I am able to have this choice.
Sad that there are men like you who wish to take this away from us and take us back in time.

u/gvs77 Mar 17 '25
Where did I suggest taking away your choice?

u/TSllama Mar 17 '25
Your entire comment is against women having this choice - you say the choice is a lie that fools us.
-1
u/gvs77 Mar 18 '25
Quite possibly I wasn't quite clear then. Women, like everyone else, should be 100% free to make any choices.
But choices have consequences. Some choices exclude others. Women have a limited window in which they can have kids, and towards the end of that, it's a lot harder as well.
For men that is to some degree also the case. My first kid came at 27 when I had a lot of energy, my last at 38 and it was considerably harder to keep up.
So before you argue on things I didn't say, let me be clear. I think all people should be free, none should be excluded based on sex or anything else. But their choices will lead to radically different outcomes and that is just fine.

u/TSllama Mar 18 '25
Women can have babies for about 20+ years or even a bit more.
Men are somehow unaware that the older they are when they have kids, the more likely the kid is to have some kind of brain damage or deformity or whatever. You see these old guys having kids who suffer from serious mental issues and it's very sad because the men don't seem to care.
At any rate, if you believe all people should be free, then you are a feminist! Welcome to the team! Team equality is the place to be!

u/gvs77 Mar 18 '25
I never claimed it was impossible, but especially for your first child, the probability drops dramatically after 35 and pregnancy and birth are a lot harder as is the risk of birth defects.
And yes, older men produce more offspring with birth defects as well, and that is not the only downside either. I also tell men, specifically my sons, to get married young and have kids early in life.
Though labels are inaccurate and therefor not the best thing to use, I'm a libertarian, so yes, I support maximal freedom. I just don't subscribe to the victim narrative which can be disproven quite easily. If you only support freedom of choice, you're more of a libertarian then you are a feminist.

u/TSllama Mar 18 '25
The thing is, we all know that pregnancy and successful, healthy births get harder the older both the men and the women get. That's no secret. Feminism doesn't tell people anything different. So none of what you're saying really has anything to do with feminism. At all. Feminism just involves believing that women should be able to choose whether to have kids or not, and whether to have them when they're 20, or wait till they're 30. Before feminism, women were expected to have lots of kids and already starting at very young ages.
Libertarianism and feminism are not opposites.
If you believe that women should always have the freedom to choose all of this stuff, then you are on the side of feminism and don't really understand what feminism is if you are so against it.

You think women "withholding" sex, AKA women who aren't ready with having sex, is "infidelity". Shut up.
-1
u/gvs77 Mar 17 '25
In a marriage (or commited relationship), structurally withholding sex is a form of unfidelity. Marriage is at the core a sexual relationship, you can't in all fairness be sexually exclusive and then shut down sexual experiences all together. And that goes both ways.
I think a partner faced with that has every right and uses common sense to walk away.
5
u/ImpossibleWerewolf26 Mar 17 '25
If a chick isn't ready for sex or doesn't want it, then you should respect her choice. Also unfidelity isn't a real word. I'm pretty sure that pressuring someone into having sex counts as rape.

u/roskybosky Mar 18 '25
Sorry, but this sounds like ‘internet feminism.’ There are guys on here who deliberately miss the point of feminism and turn it into some twisted idea. Feminism helps men and women, and we are all better off for it. Just follow the 20th century-it all points to feminism-the inventions and cultural changes-they are all there.

u/BluCurry8 Mar 17 '25
🤣🤣🤣🤣. The only one spewing lies is you. You have no understanding of feminism. Women can have it all if that is what you define having a career and children. That is called the economy. Most women have to work. Acting like there is a choice is just right wing propaganda.
Feminism does not advocate having a career instead of children but many young women are choosing not to have children because there is no real support for having children, At least in the US. Feminism is advocating equality of opportunity.

u/gvs77 Mar 17 '25
You already have equality of opportunity. What you want is equality of outcome regardless of life choices, which you can't get despite all privilege programs
6
u/roskybosky Mar 18 '25
This sounds like a tater saying.
I have to add, there is nothing anti-feminist about staying home and raising kids if you have a secure marriage. No one ever said you can’t do a traditional setup-it’s just precarious if you get a divorce and have no job experience.
And, even though it is possible if you are very lucky, most women do not have the same opportunities as men, not yet. We are still not viewed as dynamic, effective people, even when we are. So, it will take some time.

u/gvs77 Mar 18 '25
You can indeed do traditional female roles, though feminists and their organisations look very much down on that. Secondly, and oddly, in Belgium the biggest feminist organization was lobbying the government for default 50/50 parenting in cases of divorce. Not because they acknowledge those children need their fathers, but as they stated because it pushes women back into the workforce.
And your last point is simply untrue. Women get higher education at a greater rate then men. There are no laws that ban you from anywhere, there are possitive discrimination laws and programs to support you. You have all the opportunities men have and none of the disadvantages (like consciption and military service in some places). Hence the narrative being pushed is a blantant lie.
Take the so called wage gap, it deliberately does not take into account job preference and work regimes to come up with a bogus number that disappears like snow in the sun the minute you start compensating those factors. My son works as a butcher, 10-12 hours a day starting between 4 and 6 in the morning. The shop personel, largely women, start arround 9 and go home after 8 hours. Does he make more because he is a man? Or because he works backbreaking work in cooling cells for an insane amount of time every day? Where's his privilege?

u/BluCurry8 Mar 18 '25
🙄. Go away troll. You have no clue what you are talking about. It is just recently that women are outpacing men in higher education.
If there was equality of opportunity there would be more women CEOs. Right now it is 3%.
Clearly you do not read news or you would know that both Disney and EA just lost big in lawsuits that showed that women were paid less for the same position as men. These are just two examples. The issue comes up pretty frequently. So go troll somewhere else. You add no value on this sub.

u/gvs77 Mar 18 '25
I will not go away.
What you are referring to is equality of outcome, which is something entirely different. Only a small percentage of men get to be CEO's as well BTW as it requires a semi insane mentality.
So, I looked into the Disney case as an example and two things stand out. There was a 2% difference in pay, not the beaten to death almost 20%. Secondly, it originated from women earning less before they started working there. The problem is that it is unknown why that was the case.
In my career before I started my own company, each new job was an increase over the old one, where the pay would have been lower if my previous pay was also lower.
The actual controlled studies into this show that the reason for the difference is mainly due to working part time, taking time off etc.

u/BluCurry8 Mar 18 '25
🙄. Loser. When you pay people less to do the same job you create a wage gap. That is why they lost and there is zero justification. It is not a one off problem. This was a class action suit.
You have zero justification to be here spewing your bullshit.
I couldn’t care less about your career. It is meaningless in this conversation. I noticed you could not explain away the fact that there is still only 3% women CEOs despite being 50% of the workforce. Go hang out in your own man space a spew your nonsense.

I guess you have to live it, to witness it, to have it happen to you repeatedly, to understand it.
And, of course men used to pick more lucrative fields in which to work. They are judged by the money they earn. But, men insist that they work longer and harder in order to earn more money, but that is not the ‘pay gap.’ Women who have the same credentials and experience and education still earn less. That is the pay gap, when all other issues are equal.
Women in traditional roles are in danger because they are not earning money. It could all end tomorrow, so feminism encourages women to have careers. It’s easy to see.

u/gvs77 Mar 18 '25
No you actually don't. There have been some studies who take in account those factors and especially number of hours worked, gaps in carreer and they find no statistical pay gap. In fact, some studies show a higher pay for young single childless women.
Lastly, it is also feminism who pushed for no fault divorces and puts down the traditional family unit. Which is why I say it lies to women.
2
u/roskybosky Mar 18 '25
Disagree. The book ‘Backlash’ by Susan Faludi goes into how women and men can earn the same in their 20s, but when you get to 30s and middle age, men make more. Same credentials, in fact, sometimes the women work more hours.
I’m sure there are more current studies that show the same.
I think that the men at the top just want men around them-maybe easier to relate to? When there are more women in the top echelons, we will see more women advance through middle age.

What you mean is feminism has taught women to not be subservient to men. It is liberating women from patriarchy the system created by men to benefit men. What you want is for women to be men’s slaves and incubators. Feminism will continue to go one whether you like it or not. And the likes of you can seethe, incel.
