He said that people shouldn't be so dismissive about men's issues. He said men and women are more equal now and people act like it's still the 80s. I said if it's 80s to worry about women's issues what is it to worry about men's issues? Are we worried about when the fertility cults were so big in Europe? You are worried about men's issues? That's so 10k BCs of you! Things really progressed when the pharaohs took over! Time to move on!

From now on, whenever I hear anything about men's issues I am going to say, "Stop being so retro! this isn't the 10k BCs!"

    If you don't care about the issues that affect your comrades, then it's much harder to form working class unity. We need to unite behind a set of common goals.

      Yeah idk how you build relationships and explain how capitalism causes their grievances by dismissing the things that affect them as unimportant(even if it is 'true')

      What am I supposed to do? Go to the store and buy a can of empathy? I acknowledge there are problems, I'll be supportive of people who take principled actions to improve the conditions of men, but personally, as a man, I just don't see men's issues as a priority. I honestly found being a man overwhemlingly to be a net positive.

      I personally just don't care and I'm not going to do some special buddhist loving kindness meditations daily until I do care.

          I agree, which is I care more about people that are further from having a basic minimum and I care less about those that are closer to having a basic minimum. It is neither possible to care about everything equally nor does it even make sense. Anyone who claims that they care equally about all issues is a bullshitter as far as I am concerned.
