The whole 'duh, everything is made of chemicals' argument is a corporate attempt at downplaying the prevalence of unnecessary and even harmful additives in US foods that have long been banned in the EU.

Next time you see a meme about a woman asking 'is this ham processed?' with a response ridiculing her about it, look up Ractopmine.

For some people, it is life saving and fixes their problems. Religion isn't some amorphous concept the way a god is. It's a man made system of beliefs, customs, rituals, community, and principles. Some people need that kind of structure and support in their life to keep living.

It's easy to ask someone to leave if you already have a support network that isn't contingent on your religion. That's not the case for people who's family and friends who are just as trapped in it.

Religious people can be terrible because people can be terrible and religion is an enabler. You don't have to abandon all beliefs to start living more ethically.

I'm not religious, I just don't think that atheism always makes someone a better person. Some people need to be religious to be their best selves, and that's okay.

TERFs are fucked up. Not an excuse, but as an explanation, they likely think that trans women are reaping the benefits and aesthetics of womanhood without having to suffer through growing up as a girl. They completely dismiss the struggles that trans people grow up with and the fact that trans women also face misogyny.

They are miserable people because misery is how they define their gender identity.

Why be a misandrist when you clearly know the boy isn't being given a choice because people like you and the mom don't give a damn about what boys as long as the toy 'matches' the kid's penis?

Yeah I'm calling you out for being a creep.

Nope. Just reading with basic comprehension:

Once us guys hit our 40s we just disappear into the hedges like homer, just part of the background.

The context of which was that women don't experience this because OP was making the claim that young women can 'have their pick of men' when ever they want.

Disabled person here. Thank you for letting us know that watching other people find joy in things like coffee, eating out, and going on vacations while we sit at home in pain and depression isn't a form of suffering.

Ironic that you complain about men disappearing in their 40s when this happens so pervasively to women it's called Invisible Woman Syndrome.

Aging out of societal relevance is hard for everyone. Let's not pretend that this is a uniquely male thing, especially when women are pressured to conceal their aging to a far greater degree.

Trump isn't going to read this but people with small penises will. There's no need to use conservative language here.

I agree that men should actively be part of the solution, but there is a healthy way of doing it without involving guilt and self-depracation.

Men's mental health is a critical part of feminism. This is because when men's issues are accepted and destigmatized, it helps destigmatize it for women too. Encouraging mental health support among men means reducing women's role in providing emotional labor.

It is. And no, I'm not one of the good ones.

Women are tired of 'man guilt' the same way PoC are tired of white guilt. At best, it's self-depracating. At worse, it's performative. Women want empathy and to be heard, not to hear an empty gesture that then gets weaponized by anti-feminists.

Apology not accepted. If you personally never did any of the above, then an apology is not needed. Nor is it fair to ask of men to apologize on behalf of other men who did. Women don't want apologies from men who aren't at fault. They just want men to stand up for them.

I get the sentiment, but wording matters because this is the kind of rhetoric the manosphere loves to take out of context to claim that men have to apologize for just being men.
