Is that the blame is put upon women, but men don't realize that it is usually other men- who have been conditioned by our society- who create the problems that men face.
First of all, sex is a large part of humanity, but it is NOT the single imperative. This, sadly, is what many men think. That we are just animals and our imperatives are creating new offspring and therefore we need to be like cavemen and drag women into the house after bonking her on the head with a club.
In my own time, I have had very large issues with depression, and I once very stupidly offered to a "friend" of mine how long it had been since I had sex. When I actually let the number of years out of my mouth, he laughed and said he would "commit suicide" if he ever went that long without.
Essentially what I'm getting at is that yes, sex is very much a part of human life... but the sad thing is that Red Pillers and lots of men have been led to believe that the hetero, male driven machismo of our society is somehow a norm that is being stripped away by feminism. Feminism has certainly made great strides, but the expectations and preponderances of men's behavior made by TRP are self imposed and transmitted from men of the not so distant past; it has NOT been created or imposed by women.
I think most toxic ideologies, binaries and such are not created through the general discourse and common agreement of parties, but rather stems from social morals imposed from above by those who rule society. I mean, I would never marry my first cousin, but there was a huge (and successful) movement in the 19th century to stigmatize and make illegal such an institution. Now we look upon "cousin lovin'" as gross, but only because social scientists argued against it and politicians in power implemented the laws, even though science would tell us its okay, and the only reason we think it is disgusting is because of our social norms (modern scientists concluded a few years ago that it first cousins could have children with viable genetics and low risk of development issues, look it up too lazy to post link). But once again, we didn't have a hand in creating those norms, they were created and transmitted from the past!
Does this make sense? Thoughts?
