My wife quit feminist groups on social media because she realized they were making her paranoid

LouisdeRouvroy · 2023-10-09T13:47:15+00:00

And that's exactly what I have always told her: very often feminism creates problems that do not exist.

It is the very point of feminism: create fake issues to not mention real ones, like economic disparity.

Anyone who thinks that a waitress has more in common with a heiress than with a waiter is just pushing a narrative made to prevent the working class to see their common interests, regardless of sex.

And women have swallowed that hook and sinker, the "swallowers of slogans" as Orwell put it.

He disliked nearly all women, and especially the young and pretty ones. It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy.

Orwell in 1984, describing feminism and cancel culture perfectly.

If I recall correctly, the ‚men leave their wives when the wife gets cancer‘ factoid stems from the fact couples with insufficient health insurance divorce, so the wife can get Medicare/ Medicaid benefits, since she now registers as ‚poor‘

Feminism plays on women’s insecurities and fears. And on their assumption that men must somehow have it easier. All the twaddle is just to rationalise that.

The way feminism wins policies to their advantage is by portraying women as oppressed victims of men. To this end they generate all sorts of disinformation ranging from just plain false to misrepresenting issues.

Convincing women they are oppressed victims caught in a bottomless pit of despair isn’t helpful to the women who buy into it. As one female CEO indicated, such an attitude is a barrier to success.

very often feminism creates problems that do not exist.

Lack of a practical medical safety net for the middle class is a real problem, but blaming men as the cause while pretending women play no role in creating their own fate is patently absurd.

Feminism is generally a mental illness. You should see the femcels of tiktok who basically trap themselves in their room because they are scared to going outside and be catcalled and human trafficked (even though no man has ever looked in their direction sexually)

Correct-Contract742 · 2023-10-09T19:43:10+00:00

These femcels or “feminists” online are no different from the so called “dangerous” radicalized male incel groups that society is terrified of. The difference is that both groups have completely different methods that try to destroy society, however the femcel group is the one method that is allowed and being normalized on social media. It’s really some scary ass shit we living through nowadays. Some of the things that feminists say on social media would be borderline terrifying if the roles were reversed

So you married a feminist

Dry_Satisfaction_623 · 2023-10-09T17:49:23+00:00

you showered her because of a broken thumb? talk about a strong, independent woman who don't need no man

PsionicShift · 2023-10-10T03:48:01+00:00

Women sometimes leave when their husbands get ill. But feminists don’t want to admit that.

Hubris1998 · 2023-10-10T00:25:47+00:00

Feminism needs to constantly come up with issues in order to justify its own existence.

Fee fai fo fum, your wife has now become your best chum. Really though, glad your wife had a breakthrough, even if a thumb was the catalyst

Jup feminism pushes on the insecurities of women. And make them doomsday thinkers.

Like how damn wide the quote rape is. You think it means forced in sex.

But no. Feminism makes many things mean the same thing. So staring the long is sexual harassment seen as an attempt to rape.

Same with tapings a girls shoulder to get there attention.

And many many things pushed under the same thing. So women think the worst thing is like super common wail it realy is not. Sure its bad it still happens but treating every small thing like its the worst thing. Is not helping anyone.

Not the women not the men. But its what happening. And people are living in a way to protect them self

cause things like this are quite common. and also often enforced like it is harassment or attempt to rape. And all those are seen as sexual harassment.

Almost all of my male family members are extremely wholesome men. My BF didn’t waver when I shared my tumor surprise and awaited diagnosis.

That being said, my or your wife’s wholesome experience doesn’t change the studies.

Divorce or separation occurred at a rate similar to that reported in the literature (11.6%). There was, however, a greater than 6-fold increase in risk after diagnosis when the affected spouse was the woman (20.8% vs 2.9%; P < .001). Female gender was found to be the strongest predictor of separation or divorce in each cohort. (The infamous 2009 paper)

Husband’s illness onset is not associated with subsequent divorce compared with remaining married. In contrast, wife’s illness onset is positively associated with 1% higher probability of subsequent divorce compared with remaining married. (2015)

Men are more likely to abandom seriously ill partners than women, but the overall % of partners who is still low. I haven’t found any newer non-paywalled papers. These are the only two papers everyone cites when the issue comes up.

On behalf of all of the men, please thank her for her bravery. Going against the mob is a death sentence for women, so she's going to need you to help provide cover from incoming fire.

But if this is how we save women that decide to wake themselves up, then goddamnit, why the fuck not.

She is already well aware that many women in her circles are going to swoop in like fucking vultures and pick her bones until they get some sort of explanation they're happy with, and this is why you need to pay close attention and be prepared to provide cover for incoming fire.

Letting her know that we all says "FUCKING THANKS NO REALLY THANKS GOOD JOB HIGH FIVE FUCKING GET IT LADY" is what she, and other women, need to see, need to hear from us, when it comes to this particular topic.

If you want an army to protect your children, fight till they bleed and die, and give everything they've got, then tell feminist cunts to GTFO and make friends with other women who actually see us as men, as equals, as hunters, as providers, as fucking men, men who fucking care.

It really is as simple as that.

But do let her know that when the crazies eject her, this does not mean she's ostracized.

Here, we're just fine and happy when a man says to us that his wife came around and the marriage will now likely stand the tests of time.

Cheers, sir.

This is a very interesting topic. I think the problem lies in many people not being equipped with the tools to read something from an unbiased and logical position. Reading those posts used her emotions and fears to make them seem more relevant to her life in particular, even if they are not at all relevant to her life. Appealing to someone’s emotions is a very effective way to remove logic from the situation, and it’s something we all need to be aware of for sure.

One might argue that your emotions and the direct impact of these feminist groups are making you inclined to view them as bad.

While your statement is very true, feminism does lead to problems that aren’t there, maybe often, maybe only sometimes. I might offer an alternative; lack of awareness of logical fallacies and the pervasiveness of them in the digital age is a recipe for unfounded contempt in all areas of our society.
