I don't know where this gender war crap comes from. I always dated people that I liked and wanted to be around. It was even fun sometimes.

This sounds like an updated variant of "I hate my wife" boomer humor.

The internet. It full of wild shit that no one should ever do but people pretend bc it’s funny or edgy.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 13 points 2 months ago (9 children)

Woman makes joke at expense of men.

Everyone: "Yas gurl slay."

Man responds with joke at expense of women.

Also everyone: "Omg, misogyny! Quit it with this gender war bs!"

It's a gender war whenever a man says something dumb, but when a woman says anything misandristic then all of a sudden "there is no gender war, wdym"

I'm tired, boss.

More and more men are getting sick and tired of women who think they are behaving like other men, but who are actually just being colossal assholes.

And if we were to hold them to the same degree of accountability as men are, they have total meltdowns. The “who hurt you?” being exhibit № 1 of someone facing the discomfort of true accountability, and desperately trying to deflect and reframe.

Healthy boundaries can be deeply offensive to the privileged.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 11 points 2 months ago (6 children)

Yeah, it's funny how many of these comments are complaining about what the guy said, while conveniently ignoring that the woman posted first and he's just clapping back.

How does it go, don't dish out what you can't handle having dished back?

If we deconstruct the process, it looks something like this:

  1. Some guys act like colossal assholes

  2. Guys who call them out get ridiculed as "nice guys."

  3. Colossal assholes get all the attention.

  4. Women generalize "colossal assholes" as "men."

  5. Guys who say "not all men" get ridiculed and called "redpilled incel chud."

  6. Keyboard pseudo-feminist influencers confuse "smash the patriarchy" with "be the patriarchy" ("gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss, slay gurl slay").

  7. Women get duped into thinking pseudo-feminism is real feminism, and begin acting like the colossal assholes that they initially criticized.

  8. Guys call out this behavior, and women go "OMG! History! Oppression! Women are subjugated by the patriarchy grbhrhbrhh!" Or "Men deserve to be treated like shit because women have been treated like shit by men!" And "LOL 'not all men' LOSER stop mansplaining!!1!1!1!!" Oh and don't forget "Your feelings/problems don't matter because you're a man, so suck it up buttercup, be a Real Man™!!!" (Literally promoting toxic masculinity, the opposite of feminism).

  9. Some guys get sick of this treatment, give up on trying, commiserate with other guys with similar experiences, and everyone takes this as confirmation bias that they were always misogynists and deserve all the ridicule and scorn that they're loaded with.

It's when she says she doesn't want fries, then eats most of your fries.

Yes, I would have bought large if we were going to share.

I know it's a total cliché, but I'm so glad I was lucky enough to exit the dating world in the early 2010s

Shit seems baad

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 29 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Gosh same. Me it was 2014, back when tinder still showed your mutual friends.

This vitriol around spending money on dates is so annoying. Like if it concerns you why don't you just do cheap dates like coffee or a joint by the river like a sane person?

It weeds out any people whose values don't align with yours on that front.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (22 children)

For me, it's not so much the idea of paying. Although most women I've dated have preferred to split the bill and I'm alright with that because it's their choice and they're choosing independence. I find that attractive.

For me, the issue is the fact that even while dismantling the idea of gender roles that previously applied to women, so many people still expect men to conform to certain gender roles, i.e. "pay for dates," "be a breadwinner/protector," "take the risks/initiative by asking the questions, making the moves, etc." (but not the wrong moves! Be confident, but not too confident!).

Of course, if a man thinks of himself as a breadwinner or a protector, people say that makes him a misogynist. But if he fails to perform those roles, then he's "not a real man" and "undatable." And people wonder why there aren't more examples of healthy masculinity? Do you understand how difficult it is to navigate all this mixed messaging?

So basically, even though I find myself attracted to independent women, if I say something to the effect of "I prefer dating women who split the bill," most people would call me cheap, or accuse me of fetishizing independent women, and either way I'd still end up being called a misogynist.

I don't date anymore, cause I got sick of all the hoops I had to jump through only to still be wrong. Sorry, but I have more self-respect than that (barely).

It's abysmal. Getting ghosted so often you don't even know where you went wrong. A couple weeks ago i matched with someone who liked MCU movies, and I do too. I asked which were some of her favorites and when I reopened the app an hour later she deleted the convo 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 23 points 2 months ago

For what it’s worth, she might have found someone she liked and disabled the app with no bearing on you or your quality.

Or in the case of my friends, find someone she didn’t like enough that she’s taking a break from the apps.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Having a vagina means that you will get hundreds of messages. Some will be so bad that you will want to immediately delete the app. It’s a cacophony of dick picks and men who will just confess to the most fucked up things as an opener.

[–] Fishy@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yeah it was not fun to reenter the dating world recently but staying in a broken relationship would have been worse. I’m hoping good people still find good people through whatever medium. But I’m understanding that’s harder now (but still worth it). This type of idiotic take has always existed.

They seem like they would set their barriers pretty quick. They might be great for each other.

Eating off my plate is a good way to lose a hand.

If I can't eat off your plate then do you even like me enough to be dating me?

Leave hair ties in the bathroom and living room to establish territory.

Hair ties? Why not just piss on the furniture?

[–] FunStuffIsFun@eviltoast.org 7 points 2 months ago

Piss is easier to clean up.

If we're not sharing, I don't want to hang out.

Sharing is one thing, but taking something off the other's plate without asking "to establish dominance" is toxic.
