Perfectly explained as a response to all the “modern feminism has ruined women” scrotes

mxmoon · 2021-07-08T02:31:35+00:00

Where’s the lie?

Edit- just wanted to add that my hardworking lower class grandmother quietly stashed away 10k. My grandfather caught wind of this and slowly spent it all without her knowledge. She just wanted to be able to enjoy her last years. She wanted to be able to go to restaurants, etc. She lost her shit (with good reason) But when their children learned about it they were mad at her for getting mad at my grandfather. I was livid.

A lot of us don't realise the power we hold today. Most men aren't all that, but the lowest of low will expect you to submit to him and pi k up 50% of his work load and 100% of your responsibilities because of the Feminist movement. Most men don't know how bad the women had it because they simply don't care.

My dad has cut family off because one of my cousins in the past year went on a rant about how he should inherit what my dad has made since I'm a girl and I'm just going to get married and how with him being a man it's difficult. My dad was up all night that day with our lawyer. My grandpa passed away three years ago and one of my uncles wasn't willing to accept his will 😪

PeanutButterPigeon85 · 2021-07-08T10:46:26+00:00

Yep. My great-grandfather was a lousy husband to my great-grandmother. Well into her 80s, she spoke about how much she'd lost by getting married. If she'd been able to leave, I think she would have -- but she couldn't. She had only an eighth-grade education and no way to earn a decent living.

Her daughter, my grandmother, had a turbulent and mostly unhappy marriage to my grandfather. It probably would have been better for the kids if they had divorced. However, my grandmother had dropped out of college to marry my grandfather and didn't have a way to earn a decent living if she'd left.

Don't romanticize the "traditional" families of past generations.

engineergorl · 2021-07-08T01:26:10+00:00

I wouldn’t want to be like previous generations of my family. Polygamy was outlawed in China only after the communists took over in 1949. Secondary wives were status symbols and sources for more heirs (which had a lower status than the main wife’s children) and sexual gratification. My great grandfather had the gall to have two wives. My great grandmother was the “main” wife, and basically had to keep having kids in order to get a son. Five kids, 3 daughters in a row and then 2 sons. The 2nd wife had one kid, a son on her first try. Lol, things have sucked for women ever since we stopped hunting and gathering.

Now seeing men struggle to attract women without desperation and social pressure in the mix, I feel the same way men in the past must have felt seeing women forced to get married to their rapists or struggle to get married to men of means to avoid destitution (think Pride and Prejudice & Sense and Sensibility),....because I don’t care either. Hang in there, men! Maybe you’ll get a pickme to be with you someday.

BlueSkiesOverLondon · 2021-07-07T23:07:15+00:00

Upvoting because this is a sobering reminder of where women’s rights were recently (the 1970s was not that long ago) and why we can’t give up on women’s liberation.

99power · 2021-07-08T02:14:49+00:00

My grandfather told my grandma straight to her face that he believed “women aren’t people.” Welp. He has her deceived until that moment.

FlockAroundtheClock · 2021-07-08T02:54:20+00:00

Daaaamn. That's all gold.

And THIS is why divorce is so common in this generation, you don't have to put up with some shit for the rest of your life when you can just leave and live your best life by your own or with a new partner, we are not trapped anymore.

QueenAlice3 · 2021-07-07T23:51:44+00:00

“Men don’t trust women”= Men can’t control women.

The easiest way to make this obvious to a man is ask him if he was a woman how many of his friends would he want to be married to. Usually the answer is none of them.

IwantyoualltoBEDAVE · 2021-07-08T12:51:51+00:00

This reminds me of what Dworkin said regarding how hard men went in to deprive us of rights. They have had to do a lot to chain us down and do it continuously because the truth is we are happier healthier and better off by ourselves or with other women.

We need to stay focused on our fight for liberation

pickadaisy · 2021-07-08T02:29:37+00:00

EFFFF YES.

heleninthealps · 2021-07-08T08:58:15+00:00

Happy to see there's 1 man understanding this. 1.

compscihelp111 · 2021-07-08T16:31:52+00:00

“A lot of men want the same relationships they say their families had but never thought to ask were the women happy”.

THIS. Holy shit. This is what gets under my skin whenever men talk about how relationships were so much better in the past. Better for who? You? It was certainly not better for your traumatized and scarred grandma. Scrotes can only ever see things from their own opportunistic point of view. Ask a man why he wants a relationship or what he likes about his girlfriend and it’s always so self serving it’s insane. Literally 99.999% of men can never see things from a woman’s point of view it’s always through the lens of what benefits them. For most men, women are just an extension of themselves. A helping hand/servant/bangmaid.

I frequently hear men talk about how in the past women used to support their dream, ambitions and build them up but what about OUR dreams and ambitions? Why is it always about them?

They really can’t see women as people who have dreams, desires and ambitions of our own. We merely exist as objects to serve them.

Shefthegooddog · 2021-07-08T00:30:35+00:00

Truer words have never been spoken! The exact reason women choose to be single, why birth rates are falling. Men really have to be better for ones

NikiBubbles · 2021-07-08T06:36:24+00:00

"How many generations of men in history have ever had to get women to like them" -- this scares me to no end. I hate how many modern men and women often say that "we got equality already, so stfu, I don't have to pay for what my ancestors did". Yeah, you don't have to... But at the same time -- does the thought of millenniums of people oppressing women (and a bunch of different people -- different races, beliefs, social casts...) not scare you? I wish I could say that humanity could go beyond that, but our history is cyclical and is bound to repeat itself until we nuke our planet into obliviion.

Elegaunt · 2021-07-08T02:46:08+00:00

No one feels more entitled to "being needed" than a totally unreliable man.

Bbeautifulbitch · 2021-07-08T02:04:22+00:00

Finally, one of them gets it.

blue_avocado · 2021-07-08T01:14:30+00:00

Women don't need men, but men still need women. I think this is why FDS preaches being the best version of ourselves, while mens/incel groups discuss lying and other strategies to get what they need from women. Not science, just a thought. :)

janeaustenfan99 · 2021-07-08T01:58:01+00:00

Men also need to step up and become better lovers to get consistent sex. Statistics show increasingly young single people are having less sex, especially men, and I’m guessing this is part of why. A lot of men don’t care about our pleasure and women are realizing that. It’s better to self pleasure and be celibate than deal with the risks of casual sex. Also some guys in general have poor hygiene practices, there is no reason any woman should deal with this.

RabidWench · 2021-07-07T23:02:57+00:00

It is always interesting to me when men have this kind of insight. Do they use it to be better, or to pretend to be better?

He's not wrong, but neither was Derek Jaxon (among others) and he is a steaming pile of narcissistic shit.

zombiessalad · 2021-07-08T04:51:16+00:00

Half my family is essentially a matriarchy lol, my grandpa will literally do anything and everything for my grandma. She’s always been rough around the edges, but she doesn’t put up with any bs either. Our case is so rare, and she’s always complaining about how the other women in her game circles are being pushed around by their husbands. It’s easy to forget the world she was born in, what all of our folks grew up with was so insanely oppressive of women.

HereForTheFreeFoodOk · 2021-07-08T01:47:15+00:00

'Your grandfather was probably a horrible husband"

This hit hard.

My grandmother suicided to escape the horrible abuse inflicted on her by my grandad. He was a Nazi and she was Jewish. Can you imagine the horrible life she had? Her husband encouraged his son ( my dad) to also beat her.

My mother would witness my father push his mother to the ground and laugh at her distress. She had already sufferred multiple cancers - and this is how they treated her.

She went back to Poland for a holiday and passed away.

The men of the family made up some BS excuse like "she lost her meds and had a heart attack" while they wailed and cried like drama queens at her funeral.

They then brought her body back to my home country and buried her beside her abuser, her husband.

My heart fucking breaks for her.

If I ever have the money - I will exhume her, have her cremated and take her back to Poland so she can finally rest in peace.

He needs to spread this knowledge and enlighten the low IQ males out there.

FodderFigureIllushun · 2021-07-08T03:48:29+00:00

Even if women didn't have rights today, we should still be treated with respect because HELLO we're human

deltadawn6 · 2021-07-08T14:04:08+00:00

Well at least one of them has it figured out.

Men complain about being short and having ugly faces and balding, but they wouldn't be in that mess if their ancestors didn't enslave women so every ugly mofo could pass on his shit genes. We're just returning to natural selection... And a lot of men don't pass the bar.

CroneRaisedMaiden · 2021-07-08T05:59:07+00:00

My grandma’s parents died when she was very young and had to go live with one of her sister’s and her husband. She barely finished high school and then I feel like they sold her off to my grandpa, maybe as some mob debt idk that was the running joke. Luckily they liked each other and were best friends to the end but my username is an homage to her, she raised me by herself after gpa died.

modernmedusaa · 2021-07-08T13:47:51+00:00

So many cushioned guys are like ‘my parents are happily married for 50 years’ but don’t stop to truly ask their mother if she’s happy or how many times she had to overlook cheating and lies to keep the family together lol.

I’m never going to trust a mans word that his mother is happy without speaking to them first. Also many Pickmeisha’s will lie to keep up with the Jones’s anyway.

Truthfully. Most women aren’t satisfied.

Wtf do they mean "what was the spark"???

Maybe women's right to own money and maybe get a job?

annrike1 · 2021-07-08T08:01:41+00:00

My father found his mother dead (suicide) when he was 13. His father was so heartless, he killed his dog infront of him as punishment. The dog ran away, came back and he just called my father and shot him!

When I learned rape in marriage was only outlawed in 1997 I was angry.

radfemmd · 2021-07-08T00:42:55+00:00

I’m always weary to praise men who post this stuff. Like yeah, it’s great that he listens to women and uses his platform to reach a large audience, but is he doing is strictly for his ego or does he actually care if this helps women? Either way, I’m glad this thread allowed women reply to share their experiences.

Wiggy_Bop · 2021-07-08T13:54:38+00:00

I want to marry Domo. He totally gets it. ❤️
