Exactly, also zero materialist analysis of how literature and academia used to gatekeep women? it’s literally a good thing that more women are taking literature classes now instead of being barred entry to them

Any hexbear thread that starts by asking men a question I automatically know is going to be a shitshow. at least this one hasn’t really slid into “women don’t want to date me” territory yet…
i actually put it on the thread itself. basically i think that while the phenomena op is describing may be real (like i don’t know enough to prove or disprove it) any analysis of men as a social class without factoring misogyny and patriarchy into it is fundamentally incomplete. and hexbear men hate acknowledging the fact that misogyny exists.
Not a man but I am in the age range. I mean it may be the case that more people are turning to parasocial relationships and falling into manosphere holes because of the internet. But also idk, maybe we’ve got to take stock of how misogyny plays a role into all this? Most men (and I truly mean, like 99% of them) don’t want to unpack the way they hold privilege and power over women. In decades past in which men were reading books more, they also had legal control over their wives? Women were gatekept out of academia for centuries. We live in a patriarchy and that needs to factor into any analysis of men as a social class that happens.
not another hexbear man thread lmao, when will these guys recognize the role misogyny plays in how men act
it’s me, i’m some peoople (i’m attracted to everyone but very masc men apparently)
death to the amerikkkan medical system fr. the process of trying to get a diagnosis for my fatigue issues so that i can have accommodations for them is so overwhelming and frustrating (and i’m so, so sick and tired of being told that it’s psychosomatic. if it is, well my mental health improving over the past few months has done nothing to get rid of it)
funny how i think of myself as being into men and yet so far none of the masculine men on the dating apps have interested me
guess it’s time to question my sexuality again…
Parents not berating children for mental health issues is like, the bare minimum of being a parent. And they are still making you feel bad about it, in their own way. It’s a parent’s responsibility to care for their kid, and if they’re trying to hold that over you as leverage, that’s shitty of them and I’m sorry that you’re going through that.
I’ve been basically sleeping all day and I have so much work to do… it’s frustrating because I do care about doing it, but often I just can’t muster the energy to get out of bed.
Thank you.
It’s the worst.
not a lesbian, but I am weak in the knees for any woman with a weapon
i recommend wushu videos on bilibili for the feeling
My dad has already expressed discontent that I’m “still in the same place I was a few years ago”
Let me guess, your parents are the type to verbally (or maybe non-verbally) indicate to you just how nice, just how patient, just how understanding they’re being, and that there are worse parents out there who wouldn’t put up with all this! So you should be grateful to them, and not express any discontent because they’re already being so nice — and they could be much worse, you know?
… I apologize for projecting. But that just sounded so similar to what my parents say, I kind of couldn’t help it. Maybe your parents aren’t like this, idk; but what your dad says immediately sets me on edge because it’s classic ableist behavior.
I’m feeling so, incredibly, ridiculously tired.
I mean I share my oc’s on here (that will be featuring in future comic projects) and in the past I’ve shared patches that I’ve made, so… I think I just have horrible opsec.
someone told me I looked beautiful <3
Both of these are fantastic, but that first link — wow. I know I’ll be returning to that one a lot.
We’re here for you.
