Miserable Man Hating Feminist

Often, even those who claim to understand other systems of oppression consider women’s complaint of gender based oppression invalid because women’s lived experiences must be biased or unimportant etc.

Meanwhile feminist progress is often considered valid only if it helps men too. Exhausting

Roy Cooper literally ran for Gov on overturning the Bathroom Bill and then did that, and repeatedly vetoed anti-trans legislation even when it might have made him less popular in the state. You should look him up.

"What if we taught men to get laid leftistly"

what if men cared about the loss of our bodily autonomy, the abuse we face as a result of coerced economic dependence and the actual pandemic of femicidal violence we have to contend with, more than they cared about sexual access to our bodies

Lot of liberals and leftists don’t see young women as a viable electoral group with relevant political concerns

Human rights, or cishet men’s prospects of sexual access to women? 🤔

Who can say which society should be in outrage over!

If you look closely you’ll notice that the Venn diagram of straight men who think left spaces should help them get laid and straight men who think leftists talk too much about sexual assault and patriarchy is nearly a perfect circle.

I have essentially been told that abortion shouldn’t be considered an issue of primary importance because it doesn’t effect people’s material conditions and that was just a *chef’s kiss* example of men forgetting that women are the proletariat too

Not to mention that they’ve been taught they have an innate *right* to have that wife/girlfriend/status symbol but the relative economic and social empowerment of women has made it so that’s no longer guaranteed. The boys can’t handle ~less than 2 generations of women’s autonomy

This is not a “men getting laid” problem.

It is a “men not thinking women are valid except as fuckholes” problem.

the left-liberal advice for men on dating is “treat women like humans

our culture pretends that’s not only the best advice but that it’s anti-advice, demonizing our poor little boys bc it doesn’t offer schemes to control women

men don’t want advice, they want to be bolstered in their misogyny

Women are seen to exist in a kind of perpetual emotional and moral debt, owing care, attention, sexual access, or empathy to men who are not seen to owe this back to women in equal quantities.

Women cannot even request the dignity of full personhood without it being an attack on men.

The sense that women have excessive moral obligations to men—to care for their feelings, to defer to their interests—but can legitimately make only minor claims in such care from others is central to how misogyny actually perpetrates itself as an ideology.

I’m reliably informed society does not allow them to express their pain.

Unfathomable why un-partnered and/or lonely women aren’t coalescing into movements of radical extremism founded on revoking men’s rights I just don’t get it

Ah but you have forgotten the obligation of gestating, birthing, and rearing children! Of course we had to ban abortion when women were beginning to make noise about abandoning that one too

That they overturned Roe and immediately the media started a nationwide moral panic over “male loneliness” has got to be one of the least subtle moments in the long history of antifeminist backlash.

Meanwhile the wounded sense of entitlement is also 1) the fault of feminists so feminism is evil and 2) also feminists’ problem to solve if they want people to think they’re not miserable man haters

Women are genuinely in an emergency, and the obsessive focus on men’s wounded sense of gendered entitlement—they’re not getting laid enough!—adds insult to these injuries, because it suggests that people like it that way.

I guess it would be so much easier though if we just accepted that the path to political success is by agreeing that men do in fact have a right to a guaranteed wife/girlfriend/sex slave and that being denied sexual access by women is a legitimate political grievance which The State must address 🙃

“We must find a leftist way to commodify women and enforce men’s entitlement to sexual access to their bodies.”

And that people think this is an ok and normal state of affairs.

Insanity that men apparently require guaranteed sexual access to women in order to be swayed from a politics of oppression against us.

"Rolling abortion back to the states" means the rights and power of women depend on which state they're in - something that doesn't apply to men.
THAT was why the right was willing to fail forward for 50 years, and why they're aiming at birth control next.

The issue actually isn’t ActBlue. ActBlue doesn’t sell your contact information. Unfortunately, campaigns can do that, though. They trade and sell email addresses or phone numbers amongst each other. Unsubscribing from the different email lists or replying stop to texts helps.

If you go to the donation link you’ll see that the emails split contributions between the Porter and Cooper campaigns.

The emails will have come from Porter’s team, and her email infrastructure, not Cooper’s.

You’re almost certainly seeing emails sent by the Porter campaign (intentionally) with Roy Cooper as the sender and confusing them with emails sent by the Cooper campaign. Candidates commonly send emails from other candidates splitting donations with each other. Check the ActBlue page.

The Boyfriend & I were talking about exactly this today and I’m so happy we got to this point because I basically didn’t speak to him for a year after he initially failed to take my concerns re misogyny in politics seriously back in like 2017 lol. Bridges being built!

I am too, and my fingers remain crossed since, like, I consider my own personal politics and the policies I support to be mostly in line with them! I want progressive, socialist policies to succeed in this country!

The treatment of Warren in ‘20 left me feeling really fundamentally hopeless.
