I am going to preface all of this by saying that I am a bit assmad about the situation.
I found this viral video that’s been going around of some dude interviewing a couple about a Hall Pass. The girl excitedly says that she’d do it, the guy looks confused. That’s fine, funny even…until you scroll down. Pretty much all the replies are that she’s a wh’re, he should leave her, calling the guy a c’ck, some people acting like she should be publicly shamed or stoned for daring to answer the question she was asked. Like no action was committed this is all part of an interview.
When I saw this I was really disgusted and kinda shocked by how strong the blowback was. But then it hit me: There is nothing that unites a bunch of asshole men quite like “woman bad.” Even a woman talking about her sex life labels her as a harlot that no one should even associate with. Meanwhile the dude that asked the question doesn’t get a second look because there’s a woman being uppity or something.
What does this even mean?
Edit:
More insanity
Draws some random lines
“It all adds up, you guys!”
Woman wearing, get this: clothing
“Aha, I knew it! IT ALL ADDS UP!”
What’s the beef with fanny packs?
“fanny” is a very naughty word
Coincidence?! I THINK NOT!
What does this even mean?
He leans towards her, so he’s a beta male and she’s dominating him or something. People believe this unironically, but it’s also become a meme at this point.
More insanity
Don’t remember what exactly the finger one means, but it’s essentially skull shapes for sexes. And in some way ofc means she’s an illoyal slut etc pp
“They made his shoulders small so now he’s feminine” energy.
The levels of unhinged pseudoscience these people dream up to justify their hate towards women is ridiculous.
Have you see the no fap rightoids who think abstaining from masturbation gives them super powers? Stuff like unlocking your third eye and allowing you to percieve the real world around you etc. It’s fucking cringe.
“They made his shoulders small so now he’s feminine” energy.
Lmao is that what the “claw” thing is about?
Nah I haven’t looked into the nofap thing for a very long time, but not surprising they’re at third eye esoterical bs now. Some years ago it was only at the “it gives high test and thus makes you an alpha gigachad” stage from what I remember.
But yeah, the pseudo science in right-wing spaces always seems to get totally unhinged even back to the OG Nazis (the Himmler faction especially). Like nofap, even some of the pickup and Jordan Peterson self improvement stuff started out from fairly innocuous stuff, just people seeking to get off porn addicition, social awkwardness, struggles with depression, basic self-care, etc. Then it inevitably just goes off the rails with unhinged esoterics and pseudo science. Just look at JP. Man went from telling people to clean their room to having mental breakdowns about god and the spirits and whatever constantly. Nofap to what you described. It goes on and on.
I’m not sure, I was referencing the thing G*mers say that feels rooted in the same hyper fragility 🤣
I remember when it first started and it was doing what you’ve said but a couple of months ago a friend mentioned they considering doing no fap (whatever month it is) and I was like nah I’m not participating in the rightoid version of astrology. They asked why and I went googling to articulate the connection to mensrights and mgtow etc only to stumble onto all this wacky bullshit and it was hilarious but sad.
I’ve always hated JP (among many other reasons) for the fact that’s he’s just repackaged widely available life advice, added an anti feminist and Catholic edge and somehow is considered an intellectual.
Like all of this advice was available online by plenty of other people before his leap into pop culture so I’m of the opinion his popularity and the adoption of his views comes from his chauvinism and how he essentially panders to these peoples egos making them feel superior to everyone else.
The amount of radical centrists who defend this quack scares me I wont lie. People who were relatively based in uni turning into anti feminists in a “sexism doesnt really exist in the workplace, its just men are better at building repor with the interviewer” sort of apologia.
“Pickup artists” was the first exposure I had to the nonsensical bs of these people. Had a friend who was massively into it and shockingly for all his rhetoric I never saw it work 🤔 funny that.
Incels and sexists get the wall no arguments.
We all know if the roles were reversed and the guy was asked first and the girl was more hesitant that all the pigs in the comments would be shouting “what a chad” and “what’s her problem trying to stop her man from being the alpha?” and other unhinged misogynistic bs.
Thing is while a lot of these are incels I think it’s important to recognise that a huge majority of these people are actually married men. Incels tend to overwhelm and dominate the narratives around sexism and it creates this perception that insane unhinged sexism like this doesnt exist outside of the incel trope the media and Internet like to obsess over.
Sexism like this is still rampant within normal society and it fucking infuriates me to no end.
I remember a taxi driver kicking off in a pub because he thought it was fundamentaly wrong that my partner earned more than me and was the main earner while I was the supportive one. It had his gammon NorfFC pasty white skin shaking with anger, he went red because he thought it was fundamentally disgusting for a women to not be “protected and in charge of the house and kids”.
Protected in this case means owned and controlled let’s not kid ourselves and this guy was in his early 40s. Not some dinosaur from the past but a middle aged pig.
Sexism like this is too common in typically masculine circles and it needs curb stomping the fuck out of people. Neoliberal passivity towards systemic and overt sexism has only enabled these scum more and they need to be brought in line.
Arghhg fuck these people rjfjwjfjekjrje
If anyone’s interested there was a good ending to the taxi driver story, not only did my partner shame this clown in front of his mate and others in the pub but after she’d went to play pool I sat and tore this man’s fragile masculinity to pieces and made him storm out. Interestingly his friend who was initially the one chatting with us was a communist and we got on great, he had however known the scumbag through childhood and prison and felt a familiar connection to him hence why chalk and cheese were drinking together for context.
Also see: the gleeful unfolding of the heard trial and unhinged memes that came because she was crying wrong. Large swathes of the internet are an echo chamber for misogyny.
On reddit there was a front page post of a guy’s screenshots where the girl admitted to making up abuse and he was like I just want to see my kid and it was so obviously photoshopped but everybody was lapping it up and saying girls are crazy.
Reddit is ironically misinformation central, considering you can get thousands of people to shower you with love and attention over something clearly fake.
the whole thing was dumb, but yes incel bullshit is awful and needs to be dealt with
