Something I recognized from US progressive politics of the past 3 years or so.

The iron law of feminist projection.

If they accuse you of something, you can bet it is something they do or believe in.

The entirety of feminist theory and academia is hypocrisy. They support policies that blatantly discriminate against men and boys, while claiming to fight for equality.

So absolutely any narrative, topic, practice etc is subject to complete contradiction a month, year, or even paragraph later.

Not that shocking that some women are trying to use sex to control men...

We really need to push back on the stereotype that men are just animals that can be blinded by sex. Part of the reason that men are leaving the dating market is that men want genuine connections, and they're not getting it from most single women who are just sex crazed or after the money that he spends all week working hard for.

The left has ZERO place to talk about reproductive rights while allowing genital mutilation to happen to boys.

The whole "Vote Harris, Get Laid" was pathetic as was "Straight Guys for Harris" as was Madonna circa 2016 offering blowjobs for voting against Trump. What's the common denominator in all these? Democrats and feminists.

"Women have only one kind of business."

Arthur Schopenhauer in his 1851 essay 'On Women'.

I never got why they compare vasectomies and abortions.

Abortion is the life is already there. It stops being your body your choice when it's involving 2 bodies potentially 3 of you include the father + child support.

Forced vasectomies however is...just barbaric and nowhere near the same level as abortion. There is no life there and they aren't going around impregnating women then the women pay them.

A lot of men have been single for years it’s not exactly much of a threat to be like the status quo of your personal life of being single will continue for a few more years

Lets face the facts if men were driven 24/7 by desire to chase sex feminists would succeed in their campaign and Harris would be a president.

Im not fan of Trump but the fact is that he is the president of the USA. So feminists approach failed (again!) thus the idea that men are driven by pursuit of sex is debunked. Not for the first time. Doing the same thing over again expecting different results is a definition of insanity.

They would rather go insane together than change their mind about men.

But then if you identify with a "going your own way" sort of movement or you classify yourself as an incel, they have criticisms for those groups too.

And, if you are a MGTOW, then you just hate women. Which is funny, because when I classified myself as such, I didn't really hate women - I had a brilliant relationship with my female family members and I worked for a woman. I just was choosing not to date. And, yes, at the time I did have opportunity. But if you come back and say, "I'm not dating, I'm not having premarital sex, I'm not putting myself into these sorts of situations, why can't you restrain yourself too?" then they have an outburst about how it's inappropriate to be judgemental about how others choose to live their lives. You can't hold them to your standard that you hold yourself to. They get very upset when you don't hold a double standard.

Funnily enough, my stance hasn't changed. I'm neither sex positive nor am I sex negative, I consider myself sex neutral - but I think that, if it's something you want to pursue, then you need to do it the right way inside of stable, adult relationship with good communication where the details are well worked out and where consent is properly secured and contingencies are planned out. Most people hop into the sack without these discussions while making assumptions about their partner.

There is no such thing as a consistent marxist opinion, neither on time nor space.

Everything they say is simply pragmatic, reading the signs and nudging the narrative towards the final goal.

Most of them are just useful idiots though, not a single individual though behind those eyes.

Conservative men I have noticed rarely have trouble getting a wife from my observations, at least with the older generation.

Just_an_user_160 · 2025-09-25T23:42:49+00:00

This is a form of virgin shaming , " if you don't vote for our progressives feminist candidates you're a virgin loser that don't gets women".

iAmTheBombSquad7 · 2025-09-26T08:14:59+00:00

How indecent. Women can only ever think about one thing, huh?

SidewaysGiraffe · 2025-09-24T14:40:06+00:00

"Project 2025" is just NAMBLA for the Progressive mindset; an embodiment of the more ludicrous and hyperbolic aspects of their political fears.

You can see the lack of a logical throughline in the very examples you gave- the entire point of secret ballots is that no one knows who you voted for. The idea of the most powerful person in the world being a literal diversity hire (from the party that praises itself for being AGAINST sexism and racism) scared me a helluva lot more than what Trump might do, so I voted for him- but did I? I could be lying. I could've voted for Harris. Hell, I could've voted for Stassen (sorry, Hilary, your turn is still six or seven decades away!). You'll never know.

I mean....getting laid is a powerful motivator no? It's far from the only motivator of course, but a strong one on the behavior of especially young men.

Back when I was more into incel stuff, I'm not now cause I realized it's dumb, but back when I was into it, a common argument went somewhere along these lines "Men are assholes and abusive dicks because of women, because women sleep with men who are like that, and reward and reinforce that behavior. If women stopped sleeping with men who act like that, then yeah sure there might still be a few, but the vast majority of men would shape up and change their behavior."

I'm sure many of you have probably heard something vaguely along those lines, it's part of the "women only sleep with the bad guys, not the nice guys" school of thought. Cringe, I know, again I USED to be into that stuff, I'm not now.

BUT, the reason I bring it up, it cause that was not a feminist idea. That was something I encountered in Incel and MRA and anti-feminist webspaces, that was an idea formulated by men about other men. And that is more or less exactly the same thing you are pointing out from the feminist dems: Using sex appeal and access to sex to attempt to influence male behavior.

Now I'm not saying it's a good idea, I agree it's kind of gross. But what I am saying is this notion isn't exactly a feminist thing, and more or less the exact same notion is widely believed by many men as well, or at least it was among MRA, Incel, and Antifeminist groups circa 2016 or so when I was last deep into those communities.
