as you talk about how women are so baby brained that they can’t think.
Saying it’s an ‘anti-feminist’ talking point holds no water when we’re describing reality. You’re literally supporting my argument by saying that women can’t rise above the expectations the patriarchy has put on them. They can’t think for themselves.
You’re also supporting my notion that you refuse to acknowledge greed and consumerism as being the root cause of these issues because you’re so distracted and invested in blaming “the patriarchy.”
It’s a lot easier for women to blame “the patriarchy,” because if they addressed their own greed then they would have to give something up. If all the blame is put on “the patriarchy,” then women can continue to consume just as they always have and delude themselves into thinking they’re not part of the problem.
It’s just the women’s side of patriarchy.
Now this is an interesting point to bring up, although it does reinforce my argument. Men are more likely to value autonomy, women are more likely to value homogeny. It’s why I said that women have a harder time thinking for themselves than men and why they’ve been conditioned to operate as one unit.
None of this is up for debate and you haven’t disproved any of my points. Even if these ideas aren’t acceptable in our social circles, it doesn’t mean they don’t describe reality.
You come across as if you never considered that your persoective is just that amd isn’t an unbiased reflection of reality.
When people talk about the patriarchy they are talking about the inherent sexism within society that creates all of the issues you are complaining about.
Look. We are talking in circles. So let me leave you off with a quote from one of the most famous feminist writers, Bell Hooks.
It is obvious that many women have appropriated feminism to serve their own ends, especially those white women who have been at the forefront of the movement; but rather than resigning myself to this appropriation I choose to re-appropriate the term ‘feminism’, to focus on the fact that to be ‘feminist’ in any authentic sense of the term is to want for all people, female and male, liberation from sexist role patterns, domination, and oppression.

Like I said. You are stuck in a mind loop called a false consciousness. I was unable to break you out of it this conversation. I hope that this conversation is a seed in your brain that someday, someone else more able to speak your language waters and sprouts into understanding.
Please understand. You are not talking about “women”. You are talking about patriarchy. You are complaining about patriarchy. You are complaining about women who are also stuck in the same patriarchy false consciousness as you are, but from the other side. Your talk about women and greed is a complex intersection of patriarchy and capitalism. They effect each other and support each other.
I genuinely hope you take that extra step towards understanding and abandon your misogynist lens. It is doing more harm to you than you know.
to focus on the fact that to be ‘feminist’ in any authentic sense of the term is to want for all people, female and male, liberation from sexist role patterns, domination, and oppression.
That’s the dumbed definition of a word I’ve seen in quite a while. How about:
“advocating women’s rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes.”
They may do it by setting fire to a Theatre just to try to kill a single person, like a terrorist group, but at least this definition fits.
The whole “Feminism is for both sexes” has always been bullshit. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it.
While I think a lot of people need therapists, I don’t think he is being narcissistic.
It’s unfortunately just very natural for false consciousness to be very isolating and resistant to outside interference. He is acting in the way that the culture and ideologies of his life have trained him to act when confronted with a foundational challenge.

Stop trying to look good in front of your peers.

Don’t care how I “come across.”
It’s part of being able to think for myself.
I fully-expect people like you to react the way you are whenever you see it; that’s how bad it’s gotten.
You are displaying serious signs of narcissism here most especially equating your perspective as unbiased “reality”. That’s a bad sign.

They need cognitive behavioral therapy to hopefully break them from the notion that their perception aligns with reality.
Deconstruction is what got me out of that ideological mind prison. I would recommend it.
Sadly they blocked me for suggesting they speak with a therapist. They are showing signs of narcissism here that should be addressed.

Yeah, just re-read my previous comment.
I didn’t expect more from you, to be honest.
