Underlying progressive notions of fairness and gender equality, as well as traditional notions of patriarchy with male privilege in pursuit of protection/provision for women lies a fundamental instinct - Women’s needs are to be prioritized above men’s themselves. The old way was through sacrifice at work or in war. The new way was through deference to woman’s autonomy and choices - even choices that may harm men in the long run.

The irony - progressives who champion social progress as it relates to gender equality are in fact not progressive at all. They have never questioned the underlying instinctual bias that we have to put women’s needs above our own.

The ones who do question this instinct? MRA’s. And MRAs are widely criticized, not because they are being unfair to women (they’re not) - but because they are violating a biological imperative that all people are fundamentally aware of - women are more important than men because eggs are expensive and sperm is cheap. We need women more than men, and if you dare question this truth even in a society that claims to be about gender equality - then you are a horrible immoral human being failing your fundamental duty and you WILL be shamed….. Fuck that.
