Anti Manosphere - Tumblr Posts

If we didn't put so much pressure on men to be 'alpha' stone cold sex gods, we would get at least one step closer to preventing young insecure men being sucked into that manosphere shit. If we taught men that it's okay to be emotional, that their self worth isn't affected by how many women they sleep with or how dedicated they are to the 'grind', maybe then we'd see the makings of a better world. Less incels made to feel victimized by a woman's right to rejection, less young boys thinking that rejection makes them failed men. If we taught them that their self-worth isn't based on women, and that doesn't mean that 'women ain't shit', perhaps we'd see a breakthrough.

It's so frustrating that people tend to see women's rights in direct opposition to alleviating men's issues. We can do both. The patriarchy steps on men's toes too, it hurts everyone in certain ways. To abolish the patriarchy means to address women's rights and their struggles, as well as men's issues. that's a conversation that not many people are willing to have; they see 'men's issues' and instantly think 'misogynistic erasure of women's issues', and it shows.

Being sympathetic towards men doesn't mean the enabling of sexism towards women, nor does it mean ignoring how a man's actions can reenforce that sexism. you can hold men accountable without demonizing an entire gender for how they were raised in a system that aims to not only destroy women and their rights, but the men who are being dragged along by a rope thinking that's the only way for them to live. But how dare I try to make people see nuance in a nuanced issue? man bad and all that.
