If you been scrolling on feminist circlejerks for awhile now, one of their favorite clichés to use is that off men being solitary, ruggedly individualistic purpose-oriented creatures and women being socially-minded people-oriented creatures
Now to some extent I kinda get where they are coming from, is true in a way that men aren't really driven into depending onto society for their welfare, and instead prefer smaller networks of people to get by.
But how this does refute a need for men's advocacy? My guess is they're trying to say ''Oh men can pick up themselves by their bootstraps, and demean weak, venerable, marginalized or struggling men all the time, why should we take their needs seriously then?''
So because a few select toxic douchebags in the male community decide to go all off about being these tough nuggets who apparently picked themselves up by the bootstraps, that somehow invalidates the struggles of the majority of MEN around you? Sounds like victim blaming to me
And do feminists not realize this is a byproduct of male disposability being promoted by the system? Geesh, is almost as if men realize the social system does not care for them, therefore they realize that they need to have some sort of get-out-of-this-swamp plan for when things get tough?
Patriarchy, capitalism, toxic masculinity, they can use whatever scapegoat they want, but until I actually see them challenge the status quo when it comes to society's priotization of men, I will refuse to tolerate their very bullshat takes and not to mention the obvious blatant victim-blaming.
Yes, men do sorta prefer to have a lone wolf type of path when it comes to establishing their very ownselves and we definitely depend less on social cues to get by
But that doesn't justify isolating men from society, da fuq? A culture of interdependence is moreso what most of us would want, not hyperisolationism.
