Although some of her latest videos were less serious more entertaintment-ish I'm glad Shoe always keeps her stance on male issues and even nitpicky me can't find much to criticise, I wish more left wing figures were unapologetically anti-misandry like her.

I don't who else saw that entire Twitter thread from Travis Helwig about men that Shoe was talking about, but that thread pissed me off and left a sour taste in my mouth. The left truly hates men.

Most of the replies from these caring, free Palestine lovable leftists were so unhinged because they couldn't possibly fathom the extremely radical idea of taking men's issues seriously. It's wild.

I don't always agree with Shoe. But do I have to? Who wants to just ALWAYS agree with someone anyway?

Overall I find her far more incisive than her harshest critics portray her as.

Of course, because she's not a card carrying performative breadtuber, she's evil incarnate and they all say as much and worse about her - which tells you all you need to know about just how far gone online leftism really is.

When saying "hey, maybe compassion for people!?" gets you attacked endlessly as a rightoid nazi, you know shit is bad, lol.

Among MANY OTHER THINGS, the online left has an academia problem - where they just love quoting and parroting from their favorite pet theories from hyper-feminist papers, studies, lectures, etc.

They take idpol and meme it up for internet consumption.

Ever notice how most online lefties never really get in the weeds on hard policy and REAL change? At best they LARP as revolutionaries and accelerationists. But without the balls to back it up. They all just wanna be the most goodest bestest unproblematic milquetoast twitter friendly lefty NPC they can be.

The online left is kinda just another arm of the Bourgeoisie when you think about it - privileged young people with degrees lecturing from on high.

Paul Elam on sexism against men and how entrenched it is in our society.

If the democrats want to appeal to men maybe stop treating men like Hitler treated the Jews prior to the gas chambers and concentration camps. I still firmly believe in left wing politics, I just wish those in power on the left would apply their politics on equality to themselves and stop being so fucking bigoted.

Shoeonhead has a way of making me laugh and yell "EXACTLY" at my screen like a madman. She just gets it, y'know? Her takes are never THAT far out there or completely unlike anything you've heard before, but she's by no means a midwit either. She's just a wonderful bundle of intergrity, compassion, "common" sense, and comedy.

Shoe0nHead - a long-standing political commentator who has been all over the political spectrum in the course of her career - offers her comments and observations on the recent political divide between Men and Women, with Men shifting slightly towards the Right, Women shifting significantly towards the Left and the Democratic party's efforts to address this trend.

Despite some cynicism about politicians doing things trying to get elected, Shoe is ultimately hopeful advising that at the end of the day the Democrats are far better on policy than Republicans and they do seem to be trying to appeal to Men more.

For me, this is good news, as Shoe, despite being more than a little superficial when you get down to it, is usually a good barometer of the "normie-internet-user", so if she's willing to talk about it, hopefully more people are going to.

I've never seen her channel before, but I really needed that. I've been in a pretty bad spiral lately (misandry spoken to my face, not just hivemind online shit.. I'm usually pretty good at blocking that out, but when it's to my face with real people it's a lot harder to shrug off) and I kinda had one recently that was the straw that broke the camels back, and nobody in real life to talk to. I just spent the last 4 hours watching her affirmation and commentary, and I'm feeling a lot better for the first time in a couple weeks.

damn g i tried posting this same exact thing and was told it “seemed too red pill” by the mods. like ya its shoeonhead this isnt an enlightening source of information but the argument has some solid truth to it.

I just saw this video and she hits the nail 100% accurately on the head. What's so frustrating is that I am a Straight White *sigh* cisgendered Man. I am also on the autism spectrum too with what they used to call Asperger's back in the day. I consider my political views more left of center these days because there are things I agree with Republicans on but yet there is just a tad bit more that I agree with on the Democrats side. I also just don't feel like I can in good conscience ever vote for a Republican outside of a local level election.

Watching the political ads she reacts too and to all this stuff that Harris is attempting to do to appeal to male voters always feels like she and the Democrats get so much that is right but yet they just somehow still get it wrong. Heck even Twitter/X seems to fail as well. Maybe I am tired of being antagonized all the time. I have been antagonized for a long time now. I'm blamed for all the atrocities that white men from 100-200 years ago did and even when I am not blamed, I am told that I am still benefiting from said atrocities. I'm tired of being demonized and simultaneously told that they aren't trying to make me feel bad or ashamed of myself but that they want me to somehow fix a system that I have absolutely no control of to begin with.

It's sad because I am still voting Harris but all this time I have been getting political ads on my streaming services that I am subscribed to and plenty of it in the mail that just goes straight to the trash anyways. I can't even turn on the (US) Football game and watch my Green Bay Packers (sorry not sorry I am from the swing state of Wisconsin) without seeing a few political ads between plays and time outs when the NFL cuts to the commercials. And honestly, all the Harris ads feel they aren't targeted for me. I have many times asked to myself wishing I could ask Harris personally why I should vote for her and what will she do for me. I know it sounds selfish but I am trying to ask it from the angle of the straight white men who have been demonized by the left wing. There's plenty of receipts for it too. We have Feminists demonizing Men and showing just how Misandrist of movement that is nowadays. We have Hollywood practically demoting white men to the roles of emasculated characters or villains with "Toxic Masculinity." And now even the video games are starting to lecture us when all we want to do with shut off our brains off and play a game that tells a good story. And finally for added footnote, the Universities in the US, especially with the Gender Studies departments, have pushed to demonize men in their curriculums as well and even actively find ways to legally discriminate against Men.

So yea, we men in general don't even know where to go anymore. We're homeless in so many ways and now the Democrats want to listen but I fear it could be too late. Sorry for my long rant, I have been wanting to say this but I don't really know how to because I have lot of opinions that may or may not be politically correct.

The “don’t get popped” and “real men” adverts are so misguided I was genuinely offended. They demonstrate a COMPLETE misunderstanding of what masculinity is, and young men’s relationship with it. They are condescending to men…and somehow condescending to women at the same time. It made me lose faith in the democratic parties competence. I’m sure some random marketing agency got paid to do it and Kamala wasn’t personally involved, however, it really made me think “oh no…shit….you don’t know what you’re doing. You’re probably gonna lose the election and not know why”

Also: Hasan, the millionaire communist that looks like a model, talking about men being sucked into things by charismatic leaders is truly Ironic. I really don’t think he would be so successful if he didn’t look so good.

Edit: I didn’t want to say it and look bitter….but he’s 6’3”. I don’t understand how he is blind to his own extreme privilege.

Man idk how tell all of you losers but male loneliness is very much a construct of hyper masculinity coupled with the idea that you need to be settled down with two kids by 26. Not women not dating you
