| 1 | I’m a woman and I want to helpThere is definitely a reason that definition 1 is number 1. Number 2 is a grossly oversimplified perversion of the philosophy, which does encourage emotional restraint, but not absolute restraint. You're allowed to cry when appropriate, the famous stoic Seneca summed that up as such: "Let not the eyes be dry when we have lost a friend, nor let them overflow. We may weep, but we must not wail". This is one of the four cardinal virtues in stoicism, "temperance", or moderation as we'd call it now. … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 05/04/25 04:00 PM |
| 1 | I’m a woman and I want to helpIt doesn't deviate from that definition at all, people just don't understand what stoic actually means, they just learned the word from context and think it means silent, particularly suffering in silence. Boys are physically stronger by a significant margin, that's just a biological fact, moreover every single boon in a dangerous situation right down to reaction times and spatial awareness, men have a colossal advantage in. I believe with that advantage comes a responsibility to use it to prote… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 05/04/25 02:55 PM |
| 1 | I’m a woman and I want to helpExcuse me? There is nothing at all "sexist" about putting the safety of others before your own, they call that bravery and sacrifice and it remains a virtue despite whatever cynical spin you try to put on it. And stoic philosophy is literally the entire basis for CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy), to say it leads to a "joyless life" is to just say you don't understand what it actually means or entails. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 05/04/25 04:33 AM |
| 2 | I’m a woman and I want to helpWell, coincidentally I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome when I was 14 (I don't think that diagnosis even exists any more, I think they now just call it high-functioning autism), so it's possible that may give our thought processes more in common than our sex sets them apart. It's likely that because people like us tend to spend more time than usual studying social conventions just so we can understand others or blend in, we might also be more likely to spot fallacies and issues that others… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/04/25 05:44 AM |
| 1 | I’m a woman and I want to helpI will say one thing for 3rd wave feminism, it had a good idea when it came to examining media content for harmful stereotypes, where it went wrong between the 3rd and 4th waves of feminism is taking it to extremes while being selectively blind to the harmful stereotypes that were forming about men. Talentless writers often couldn't think of novel ways to empower female characters, so they simply dragged down the men around them, portraying them as incompetent buffoons at best and malicious pred… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/04/25 03:57 PM |
