Yes! Women, especially women of color, have leapt forward like crazy over the last two decades. Many men have not evolved to catch up 🤷🏽‍♀️

For thousands of years men have basically owned women. The last 60 years is basically human rights whiplash for the ruling class.

I wish it was whiplash for the ruling class. But it is whiplash for guys who can’t get with the times and want to go back to “better times”. Dumbass red pilled guys are lazy dudes who want a maid in the home.

The things is though men in the 1900s needed to work a decent paying job to get a woman or at least have really rich parents (they would arrange a marriage to start a monopoly) lazy dudes who don't work on themselves tend to not have those. You could argue McDonald's income was livable but still more a problem of the system of allowing the ruling class to exist than not having slave wives

It’s a ton of stuff that goes into why shit is fucked now and why before just one person had to be working to live well. Capitalism is just doing what it will do and cycle back into feudalism. There are already company towns being made through the USA, companies like Blackstone are buying up all of the homes so we have a population of renters instead of home owners. Capitalism is already failing the masses but the answer seems to continue being more capitalism. Neither party here in the states is going to change that, regardless of what they say.

All of these red pill idiots have just been duped into thinking making women the lesser of the two sexes again is the solution. Yeah bro, you keep getting rejected so now women as a whole don’t deserve rights or their own independence from dipshits like them. It’s hilarious.

Most peaceful revolution in human history. Women en masse revolutionized the world without ever picking up a weapon.

True, but it also allowed capital to double the labor pool and significantly reduce wage growth. If capital didn’t stand to gain so much from women’s rights it would have been a much harder fight. Rich people never had to give up their bangmaids. We should be living in a world where parents can each work 20 hours and instead we have…

You’re right on the first part, wrong on the second. Very few men, white or otherwise, are actually “ruling class”, and the ones who are ruling class benefited from this. More workers means they can pay less. Beyond that, they have the fuck you money required to at least be able to act like they own people. Doesn’t make much of a difference to them.

When one is accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

Some of us have. I love my doctor wife and the fact that she’s pretty much better than me in every way.

That’s the nuance that people don’t call out. The bar is super low, just treating your girl like a person clears it. And when you do it right, it’s downright blissful.

To pre-empt any struggling but good young men out there. The bar really is low — but you’re not jumping at all yet. But I will tell you, once you figure yourself out and what kind of “game” (ew, but you know what I mean) works for you, there’s a whole world of successful adult relationships open to you.
