Microfeminism - feminism gets even sadder

Rare-Discipline3774 · 2025-05-19T23:53:47+00:00

That first example is dumb, like, legitimately pitiful.

"I'm going to do the exact thing I'm supposed to do, just in a different order that absolutely no one will notice or care about. To fight the pAtRiArChY!"

saying "girls" instead of "guys" as a gender-neutral term

mental hospitals are too empty nowadays

Winter_Reveal_5894 · 2025-05-20T00:04:49+00:00

So basically, it's women acting as they always have?

This is nothing new. Women have been reacting disproportionately to perceived slights since before I was born, and I'm an old guy now.

I honestly just wonder how with us supposedly living in The Handmaiden's Tale, women find the time and energy for this shit. That one femcel in the first link made a video, lying down on her side in bed, mumbling about how when she writes an email to multiple people, she puts the women's names first.

Who has time to think about that shit in day-to-day life? Is this why women are so unhappy now? Because they simply have too much free time, and their brains are misfiring from spending half their waking hours watching TikTok? Because they've been DEI'd into positions where they have no responsibilities and no accountability, and they can just fuck around on their phones all day?

Like, imagine living like that. Imagine treating every social interaction as an opportunity to win imaginary points against an imaginary opponent. Imagine having absolutely no capability for self-reflection because your entire worldview is "I'm the victim."

Do they think that their petty little actions will, in some magical way, make the mythical beast they call the patriarchy real?

Current_Finding_4066 · 2025-05-20T05:05:57+00:00

Being rude to men on purpose is micro feminism? Thank for clarifying

Briantan71 · 2025-05-20T01:13:11+00:00

So they think this would bother guys, most of which have already started "ignoring their antics and going their own way"?

kugelamarant · 2025-05-19T23:47:03+00:00

So what little micropatriarchy can we do to counter this?

New-Distribution6033 · 2025-05-20T11:52:12+00:00

So, microfeminism is intentional microaggressions against men? Got it.

White_Buffalos · 2025-05-20T02:32:19+00:00

These are bids for interaction and engagement from men, nothing more. Even lesbians are fixated on getting male attention. All attention, good or bad, is what they want b/c they are empty ciphers. Sad but true.

They should be working on their mental issues, but instead prefer to have neurotic interactions that further erode their self-esteem since most of them never accomplish anything of merit and just want endless approval, especially from men.

Getting a job, working, a degree: These are mostly worthless pursuits and always have been. Making things, doing the Work to improve, meeting personal goals unrelated to career are things of value. Family. What others think and the daily grind are nothing special. Dudes generally grok this; women, not so much.

They are still in competition mode with everyone and don't get why they feel so bad about themselves. Dudes want things, too, but are frustrated in their efforts by the see-me-roar feminist types (who usually go after morons to control or who trigger their latent emotional instability). So they are moving along.

Meanwhile, most women are stuck in this low-level Maslow psychodrama and are too fragile to hear outside counsel. They really should step back, look at their behavior, and deal with their anger, which is mostly aimed at themselves and uses the father as an imprint (and early, failed relationships with guys) to lash out over.

Women aren't perfect and must be reminded of that (and that it's OK not to be). Perfection is an illusion and an attachment to outcome. Let it go. Just be and treat others well. If they cross you, ruthlessly weed them out of your life and move on. Treat each individual as a discrete unit.

Let go of blame/shame/guilt baggage. It does nothing for you, and always works against you. But most women don't get this and lean on other damaged women instead of looking within themselves, which scares them. It's all there, at any time or place, if you are open to it, all within you.

shivaswara · 2025-05-19T23:59:27+00:00

The main grievance I have is how privileged they are in dating, how shit it is for men, and then still have to listen to them bitch about this delusion of patriarchal oppression

GoldenFutureForUs · 2025-05-20T08:20:30+00:00

Don’t they realise this just turns more men against feminism? This is how you lose a battle. If you can’t treat men with respect, they won’t respect you.

japanman1602 · 2025-05-20T04:07:44+00:00

lol how pathetic. I thought that they wanted to be treated as equals deserving of respect. Good luck getting that after acting like a petulant child.

Best case for them, no one notices their childish behavior. Worst case they get themselves fired, knocked on their ass when they refuse to move out of the way, or are ostracized for being cringey children. Either way it’s no benefit to them or their cause. And will just lead to more of them being written off. They would realize this if they weren’t so mind bogglingly stupid.

dougpschyte · 2025-05-20T04:40:51+00:00

Go, you girl!

Just funking go.

As far away as possible.

DialecticWound · 2025-05-20T00:11:28+00:00

miserable shriveled up cat ladies

Impossible_Policy_12 · 2025-05-20T08:24:02+00:00

Just waiting for one of them to say ‘unpaid labour’ in context to these micro aggressions.

To me, this behaviour is just an excuse for bad manners.

mrkpxx · 2025-05-20T08:58:37+00:00

I suggest we use the phrase "Dear men and women" from now on.

World-Three · 2025-05-20T13:58:28+00:00

Pointing out Mansplaining, manspreading, and tone policing were already enough...

Being completely disregarded for how you speak normally is already a sure sign you're wasting your time. Women's basic retort to men's points and expressions are typically whataboutisms that are designed to devalue your entire statements because some bogeyman exists, or, the system was created by your people so, it's your fault.

It feels like these are just invitations for an argument. Which will likely use the above tactics to appear as a victory.

Edificat0r · 2025-05-20T08:21:50+00:00

Microfeminism from massive cunts.

Any-Basis-3725 · 2025-05-20T04:24:50+00:00

Feminists themselves don't know what version of feminists they are. Let them scream into the void. They crave men's attention. Most of the posts and content are rage baits designed to make men act up.

The types of feminists I understand are:

Radicals, they openly say they hate men and act accordingly. The ones who don't want equality with men but superiority over men. The ones who vehemently deny the existence of misandry.
Regulars, they say they don't hate men but act like they do. They say they want equality with men but in reality they want the so-called men's privilege but without taking on men's burdens. Equality, indeed. The ones who say that they acknowledge the existence of misandry but still do misandrist activities and conversions as if they are doing nothing wrong.
Real ones, they say they care about men (upd: and they really do), but there is no evidence they actually exist. They do not have any problems with inheriting both the men's privilege and men's burdens. No misandry at all.

DecrepitAbacus · 2025-05-20T06:02:40+00:00

More petty nonsense from lunatics.

Spikeymikey5050 · 2025-05-20T05:36:22+00:00

I feel nothing but pity for these people. Is this all they have in life?

walterwallcarpet · 2025-05-20T05:56:28+00:00

Always make it obvious that you are taking notes of feminist microaggressions, with a view to sharing your documentation with HR.

Of course, you won't really, but it shits them up and shuts them up.

mrkpxx · 2025-05-20T08:55:35+00:00

Are they also campaigning against lady first privileges?

RealStarkey · 2025-05-20T12:06:06+00:00

It’s OK. When the grocery cashier is female, I wait till she bags everything to my liking, before I pay.

FiveMagicBeans · 2025-05-20T16:07:35+00:00

Perhaps the saddest part of this new strategy is that they think that this is rebellion, because they believe that someone using "guys" as a gender neutral term is a deliberate slight on women.

If there's one benefit here, it's that when they pull these moronic stunts and realize that they had absolutely zero impact whatsoever... perhaps they'll realize that they've finally arrived at the point where they're chasing the ghost of patriarchy long past.

RealStarkey · 2025-05-20T23:24:06+00:00

So basically creeps making life more miserable. Just destroying stuff without contributing anything meaningful. Living in an endless cycle of grievances without taking any personal responsibility.

Basically feminism. On a smaller more irritating scale.

AndyRoo2023 · 2025-05-20T09:02:38+00:00

'New' word...same tiresome, vindictive behaviours, so nothing new in that regard from them.

XavierMalory · 2025-05-21T02:47:34+00:00

This is just flat out desperation. It’s actually pathetic.

petrichorandcamphor · 2025-05-21T19:04:21+00:00

So feminists are encouraging each other to micro-aggress towards men.

Maybe this is why so many young women keep stalking me in public spaces like grocery stores and physically forcing me to move out of the space I’m in by trying to collide with me.

Legitimate_Panda5142 · 2025-05-22T02:33:33+00:00

It seems to be making things more difficult for themselves and tying themselves into knots to try and make it feminist.

Um, who cares what order you are emailing someone?

Not moving over when a guy is moving faster, but you do it for women who are moving faster than you, is just petty and rude.

The term guys is not a slight against women, it's just a neutral term.

Seems to be more about getting attention and making themselves feel better. If anyone even notices this.
