Incredible how they tied in Disney to a complete irrelevant topic on top of whatever sexist shit that was https://twitter.com/jzux/status/1421958345578090498

    Legitimately think straight men have got to be re-educated specifically bc of shit like this. Like on top of normal cultural revolution everyone needs, straight men will need to take “stop being fucking weird” night classes.

      Yeah there's time where I kinda sincerely hate sharing a gender and melanin level with some of these people.

      Course I remember it's all terminally online but also like... this dude does exist.

        This stuff is a logical outcome of the way society treats men. It wouldn’t be so wide spread otherwise. There’s a lot online but it happens irl all the time. My gf works in an industry where all her co workers are women and men come in and say the wildest fucking shit to them

          Lol it doesn't get better if all the coworkers are men. In fact the wildest shit comes from inside the house then. A friend of mine is a woman in engineering and her stories are interesting to say the least.

            Sigh you’d like to think the fact that you see a person everyday would light up the warning signs in your brain that say “do not make this weird” but alas

          I hate it because I'm a guy (kinda? Sorta feel NB most of the time, but definitely AMAB regardless) who's neurodivergent, and it makes me acutely aware of shit like this. I try to intentionally not sound weird specifically because of how many dudes say just weird shit.

        The goal is to change society to not ignore and incentivize this kind of behavior by saying shit like “boys will be boys” or other weird accepting platitudes about weird shit men say. Maybe it wouldn’t help you individually but I think it’d be necessary at a society wide level. There’s a lot of unlearning we all have to do from growing up in our diseased society and honestly it’s probably not gonna work on most of us, it’s really to start moving the needle for future generations

            Well I’m sorry you had to deal Woth that stuff comrade. Sounds like you have a unique set of circumstances, relatively speaking, and not exactly the kind of person I was thinking of.

            But I should say the concept if re-education needn’t be like how liberals frame, as in an authority handing down life lessons or whatever to reactionary subjects. I think it would or should be more of a pedagogical and dialogic form if societal therapy wherein everyone participates to help rid us all of reactionary ideology, and individualism, strengthening our bonds as a community. Perhaps something like should be made to make space for people in your situation to help you feel more comfortable around and communally minded with and toward women comrades and stuff.

                We all have em, it’s only through dialogue, mutual understanding, and healthy self crit that we can realize and excise them. We’re def not in a position to do anything as grand scale as I’m imagining but hopefully one day. In the mean time we’re able to do smaller scale versions just by engaging with our comrades and educating ourselves as we go. Which were already doing so let’s just keep it up :stalin-approval:

                I disagree tbh, capital already shapes our society with their own form of indoctrination, I’m just advocating for imposing less reactionary edicts on people in a similar way once the left is in control. Doesn’t necessarily need to take place in a generation but concerted efforts can be made to improve things. China’s cultural revolution clearly didn’t weed out everything they or we might consider undesirable or reactionary in their mass culture but I imagine it got the ball rolling.

                We are clearly going to have to do some concerted efforts to undo capitalist/reactionary programming that the masses have received

        Obviously, but quite a lot are I mean they don’t even have to be chuds to be like this, a lot of straight men harbor really reactionary and entitled views about women bc frankly society pretty teaches them through media and various other methods that their opinions and feelings are more important.

        The amount of shit I see women friends deal with just anecdotally irl or on social media plus shit like this you see online, it’s definitely an issue, but one I do think would be resolved relatively naturally as long as women’s opinions and experiences are included in any kind of game plan for shaping post revolution society. It will take some work tho

    It really is a perfect little anti-humor gem. It's reply-guy-specific, self-unaware, and yet cringelly-confident. I actually came back to it this evening as a laugh as my Tinder date is being postponed yet-again and I needed the chuckle.
