Yeah, it's a lot of bad faith effort to attack "the left" from a very right-based perspective with clear conservative rhetoric.

It's so weird to pretend that Byron Noem just happened to be married to Kristi Noem and completely stayed away from her political career. He has appeared and spoken at campaign events, been a member of her campaign, and publicly launched initiatives labeled as part of her governorship of South Dakota. He has publicly put himself and his persona out there as a means to attempt to benefit her political career. While he is obviously not the primary reason for Kristi Noem's political success, he has…

Yes. Yes. Yes. It's exactly this. The lack of depth and thought in things like this are so frustrating, this OP isn't left wing at all, it's someone on the right wing airing their grievances to try to score points against the left. Bryon Noem has been an ardent supporter of Kristi Noem's career. He's not just "her husband", he has been a part of her campaign, as well as running initiatives as the governor's spouse, so essentially part of her administration when she was governor of South Dakota. …

In my early 20s, I worked in grocery stores, and several times I had women sneak up behind me, grab me (my ass, crotch), touch me (in my face, chest, arms), or say very inappropriate things to me in ways that made me uncomfortable, in a lot of cases these were women 2-3x my age. I'd wager it probably happened somewhere in the vicinity of 5-10 times, depending on what I want to count - it was around two decades and while I can remember some of them specifically, I know it happened relatively freq…

it also takes away any individualism as every thing boils down to how you are born not how you life Yeah, the number one predictor of your success in life is not your race, your gender, etc. - it's the socioeconomic status of your parents - in essence, the class of your parents. Now, we can rightly acknowledge that, due to things like the existence of various forms of systemic oppression, colonialism, wars, governments, so on and so forth - there may be certain tendencies of certain groups to be…

I find myself perpetually frustrated at how class division gets continuously reframed and repurposed as some other form of division - such as race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, region, so on and so forth. I can fully acknowledge that class divide can tend to skew in favor of certain groups, but in a lot of cases that's because the upper class successfully manages to convince people that the true source of the divide is anything other than class as a means of holding onto power. It feel…

Yeah, I don't necessarily mind the division of labor, so long as that division is understood and accounted for and appreciated when we're talking about the "equal division" of labor. My ex-wife went off one time about how little I contributed to the housework, and when yardwork was brought up, she said "so the lawn gets mowed every other week for 2 months, and takes as much effort as loading a load of dishes in the dishwasher," and I immediately realized why she was always so unhappy with the di…

I've come to realize that slowly-but-surely we've seen two distinct categories of chores creep up, especially in more left-wing spaces - I've called them, everyone-chores and men-chores. Men chores tend to be, practically speaking, anything that involves physical labor. Yardwork, heavy lifting, handyman work, so on and so forth. Everyone work tends to be things that, classically speaking, were "women chores" - cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. etc. As a man, it feels, there is this expectation th…

Yeah, the gaps are definitely most pronounced in race, age, educational attainment, religious beliefs, and where you live (urban vs rural) than they are by gender.

I think deep down, she really does miss being catcalled I don't even think this is "deep down", it's readily admitted to. Of course, as you pointed out, her own ideology encourages her to feel ashamed about it, and because she feels ashamed about it, she seeks a way to deflect responsibility for her own thoughts and shift that onto culture.

I think the one thing that you are papering over is the removal of agency here, from your quote: Valenti admitted that she misses being catcalled: “Men rarely catcall me any more. I hate that our culture makes me miss it.” This is, in my opinion, is the contradiction. It's essentially a refusal to take accountability for her own thoughts, and instead decides to self-victimize. Here her thoughts aren't her own - they're society's thoughts. It starts of fine enough, with an admission that she miss…

While I can agree with some of the premise here, I think that saying: it still doesn't answer how you can be against yet also benefit from the male gaze you hate so much simultaneously. Is a little over the top, and is selectively applying logic that you wouldn't use in another context. For instance, I don't like the way capitalistic systems setup a disproportionate amount of exploitation where the rich are extracting overwhelming value from those who are not-rich. But I still go to my job at a …

One of my biggest frustrations has been the blame levied at "white men" for getting Trump elected. While, yes, the majority of white men voted for Trump in all three elections - I think it's important to understand that if ONLY white women voted for President, Trump would have won in 2016, 2020 and 2024. We don't really hear this talked about much, if at all. We either focus on the "racism" side of white people collectively voting for Trump, or the "sexism" side of men collectively voting for Tr…

Yes. This is it. I actually don't think the term patriarchy is flawed in and of itself, I actually think that it encapsulates what's going on pretty well. However, in mainstream discourse, I think the term has been misused and willfully misconstrued as if it means a system by which all men are privileged over all women - and, particularly by modern day standards, that is most certainly not the case. What's most lost is how disdainfully elite men treat non-elite men. Or how women treat non-elite …

I think it's important to look at the etymology of what a patriarch actually is - it's the male head of a family or tribe. To this end of the definition of patriarch, I would submit that most western countries are still, by and large, patriarchal. I think there's this attempt to frame patriarchy as a system by which all men are treated as above all women, but that is not what happens in reality, nor is it what is suggested by the name patriarchy. A patriarchy is not all men at the top, it's A MA…

Something that I have also realized coming out of this, at least in my marriage, you could neatly define chores into two categories: Man chores and everyone chores. In my marriage to my ex wife, the man chores were 100% mine, they were my responsibility, so much so, my ex-wife didn't even know what I did, how often I did it. In my relationship these were things like yardwork (mowing, weedeating, trimming hedges, etc), anytime anything needed fixing/home maintenance (changing lightbulbs, replacin…

I find it very telling on that because most of the "weaponized incompetence" is around this issue, the unwillingness for women to even imagine things can be done in a different way. Yes. Like, I'll use an example: I have ADHD. I was diagnosed when I was 6, got a follow-up diagnosis in my 20's, and yet another one in my late 30's (I did it in my late 30's for my own sanity). I've tried medication, and while it has worked, it has had very poor side effects and as result, I am unmedicated because I…

My own personal experience, the only time I even got asked how many children I had (0) was doing small-talk with the doctor during the procedure - though I was in my late 30's when I got it done. I agree with you that vasectomies aren't easily (or cheaply) reversible - but I was just offering it in response to the person I was responding to saying they couldn't think of a single reproductive right men have - and that is definitely one.

I'd give one caveat that I'd say the one reproductive right that men do have is the right to get a vasectomy. I realize that's not a lot, comparatively, to the options women have - but it is one.

I'm in my 40's now, and I've never had that asked - it would be nice to know that's changing for the better, though - there are many times, especially as a child, that I didn't really think anyone gave a shit that I felt unsafe in my own home and I had no idea who I would even talk to about it.

A second posits that doctors and nurses are trained to brief female patients of a supposed likelihood of men abandoning their terminally ill partners post-diagnosis. This reminds me of something - when my ex-wife had a relatively minor abdominal surgery, I was accompanying her to doctor's appointments. I'll never forget the first time I heard the person checking her into doctor's appointment ask her (paraphrasing) if she currently felt unsafe, either here or at home. I thought maybe it was becau…

I have been on a mental health journey in the aftermath of my divorce and discovering and dealing with my own codependency. It feels like to me, there is a default expectation for men to behave in a manner that aligns with codependency. I feel like you are taught that women are perpetually victims and perpetually victimized, and that is your responsibility as a man to, above all else, never make her "feel" like a victim, where feeling like a victim is open to any and all interpretation she choos…

Kyriarchy is a pretty good descriptor of this, which is a sort of intersectional view of privilege and oppression, acknowledging its existence and that it can be structural, while also acknowledging that it exists in many axes - gender is absolutely one, as is race, class, ethnicity, sexuality, age, religion, etc. It's a feminist term that I think is a much more appropriate view of what's going on. Oppression based on gender does exist, but I do agree that the term patriarchy sets the tone for t…

I think one of the big things I've noticed is a wholesale misinterpretation of what "the patriarchy" really is. I think if you were to ask for a high level summary of what people interpret the patriarchy to be, it would be a system of power that puts men above women. But in reality, but in the term of what a patriarch is, and actual practical application, it's a system of which some men are put above everyone. Especially historically, those in positions of power and historical attribution are ov…

Everyone was so comfortable blaming Black men for their loses but time and time again results show that the majority of Black men come out for them. It's so crazy to me that there's almost no blame, at all, given to white women. To put it in perspective, if -only- white women voted for President, Trump would have won in 2016, 2020 and 2024. He won white women by 2, 8 and 4 points. I'll grant you that he won men (or, more specifically, white men) by an even bigger percentage, but the biggest spli…

I agree with the double standard but I vehemently disagree that the porn industry imposes it. Your identification that it comes from abrahamic religions and has proliferated through society due to that is much more accurate, in my opinion.

Yeah, I agree, I think there's a real high effort to not allow women to hold agency in their own decisions. I think you hit the nail on the head that the most important part of this is agency. Giving people the agency to do what they want, when they want (as long as it doesn't interfere with someone else's agency). A woman (or anyone) should have the ability to choose to be in porn if they want to. And ironically, so much of this is talking about how exploitative it is - but only to women. I agr…

Yeah, I think most of the arguments you can label as detrimental through pornography and sex work apply to a wide range of industries that we are perfectly okay with having, even if there are some controls on them. The rest just boil down to a puritanical view towards sex. I'm not saying that there's not potential for abuse and exploitation with sex work and pornography, but simply that exists with a mountain of other industries, too, that we allow to exist.

I never understood the value of implying something is bad because it's "unnatural". Mate, we're having a discussion on an internet messaging service via text with people all across the world by typing on a box that sends magical waves containing that text through the air and tubes to eventually get to someone else. Very little we do in actual society is "natural" in the 21st century. But, I'd say, that interest in sex and the desire to attain sexual release is pretty natural, and honestly probab…

It's very hard to identify where the line from "fascist rhetoric" to "full-blown genocidal nazi" is without having already crossed it, or at least reached the point of no return, and needless to say, most people - especially on the left, don't want to cross it. The modern right wing, including Charlie Kirk, is very much embracing clear fascist tactics, and wielding a lot of the very same tactics that were immensely successful for the Nazi Party, up to and including the slow escalation by using c…

Being pro-life isn't violence. However, the entie hypothetical situation is just another form of a loaded question. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. I think it's a stretch saying damned if you do, and damned if you don't - it's trying to point out that labeling an abortion as an always evil thing is a stretch because there are situations in which it's much less clear that it's clearly the "right" thing or the "wrong" thing.

For instance, if I have the right to free speech, it means that others cannot freely silence me, even though they may have the opportunity to do so. This is not what free speech is, at least not in the context of the US government and the first amendment. The right to free speech does not prevent people from trying to silence you, it impedes the government, specifically, from trying to silence you. For instance, if you get on YouTube, and post a video spouting a bunch of racial slurs, and YouTub…

There's a good, but cynical take from George Carlin that there are no such thing as rights, there are merely privileges, and privileges can be taken away. I think when people say rights or freedoms, they are speaking of this higher level idea of something they inherently are allowed to do (generally by god). I think to some, they interpret freedom as the ability to do simply whatever they want, but any freedom is clearly not universal, you can take away practically anything that someone claims t…

This is one of the things I think is rightly stated as you have to know your own worth. Simply tolerating a woman that demands the world from you and thrashes at any expectations of her own behavior is - simply put - not worth it. You will be called every name in the book, misognystic, narcissistic, abusive, for having expectations above the bare minimum - while being inundated with what is practically propaganda and what defines a "good man", but remember this: Online female-dominated spaces of…

This is a really good point and much harder for people to quantify than I think it's made out to be. Measuring equal opportunity is in and of itself practically impossible, and you can't measure equality based on outcomes because outcomes have so many factors. I'll use an extreme example to try to illustrate the difference between opportunity, outcomes, and why outcomes are not necessarily indicative of opportunities: professional basketball in the US. I want to state that I am not using this to…

When I was much younger, I worked in the overnight stocking crew of a big box store. The stocking crew was about 50/50 male and female, and every night we had a truck come in that was just filled with boxes that had to be unloaded onto a conveyor belt, and from that conveyor belt, different people would sort what went into their department. The most physically demanding part, by far, was the actual unloading of the truck. It was rough, a lot of times boxes of shit just fell on you, and you had t…

It feels like trying to push you into being a father figure. Essentially provide the love a father is/is supposed to give - but with an added sexual element on top of it. Essentially, it's my job to provide unconditionally, love unconditionally, with no expectations of her as a partner other than to live, while I insulate her from all the hardships of life, have to handle every major problem, be perfect. If she ever slips up, it's excusable because of her mental health, her trauma, her upbringin…

in this system, the women can puppeteer the elected men to do their bidding, so why would they risk their health and time to do it themselves, when someone else is willing to do it for free I mean, ultimately, there's a man at the top making the decisions.

I think there's a very substantial difference in doing a service for someone in exchange for money, and doing one for a completely able-bodied person for free with zero expectations and unconditional love and tolerance. The first is an employee/employer relationship, and the second is, well, it's a parent/child relationship.

I think the problem is that the right has successfully shifted the entire country so far right, that people don't understand that "slightly left" in American standards is still pretty center-right. Outside of America, someone like Bernie Sanders would probably be considered somewhere slightly left, but in American he's considered "radical left". Someone far-left would advocate for either like radical anarchy, or complete public ownership or industry and the elimination of the private sector, whi…

We're simply at a discussion about terminology. By and large we agree about everything else. What you are interpreting a patriarchy as, is a system in which all men are treated as greater than all women and women are treated as property, and I think that's a very different system and trying to portray it as that black and white. I would claim a patriarchy is a system where the leaders are men, and I think this is objectively true. It's becoming less true over time, but it's still largely true. I…

The thing is, that I agree that the system is patriarchal. The problem is that people are misunderstanding the definition of what a patriarchy is. A patriarch is a person, not a gender. It's the male head of a family or tribe, that tends to dictate to the family, and the family defers to them. And I think that our collective society absolutely leans in that direction. In any family or group, there is a male head, for sure - but not every male is the patriarch. The men that do not hit that level,…

Yeah, I experienced this a lot in my former marriage with a very porn-branded woman. It's not even just about the sexual side of it, either. A lot of smut directed at women are actually surprisingly misogynistic. Like, there's this pretty persistent theme of the kind of "normal" everywoman, who is selected by this rich man that could have everything/anyone he wanted, and choose her, takes care of her, and allows her to simply exist in a world insulated from the difficulties of reality.

That's fair, and not a distinction I really made in my post. I'd consider drawn/animated pornography is very comparable to text-based pornography like smut novels. As a matter of fact, I think there's a huge overlap with the visual novel category that's also disproportionately popular with women. I'd consider that if you are okay with one and not the other in principal, you're a hypocrite for sure.

I posted this elsewhere, I think that the issue with the term patriarchy is that it presents itself as if men are the primary benefactors of patriarchy, and I think depending on which way you want to phrase the words, they both are and aren't.

I think this is a little bit overstated. I can subscribe to theories of things like patriarchy, but I don't think society really delves into what the patriarchy actually is. People hear about it subscribe to the theory that inherently places all men above all women. And the way history is taught makes it easy to see this. Accomplishments are almost always male-centric, leaders are almost all men, etc. I can even buy things like the glass ceiling, men having more opportunity (to join the elite), …

The only real thing that I can give to defend "smut" vs "porn" is that smut is, at least at the initial level, clearly victimless. We can talk about the societal ramifications of these views, but when you're reading an erotic novel there's not really even an opportunity that anyone involved (like an actual, physical person, not the characters, to be clear) is being sexually exploited. However, porn videos have a pretty long history of exploitation of the participants in them. While I'm not sayin…
