Normally I don't interact with reddit but I saw this and found it interesting. This post is dripping with the alienation women feel from patriarchal norms and it feels like women in general have a bit of radical frustration brewing.

oof

Yeah, it's not just politics men will lie about.

My sister told stories of guys who lied about lots of things, pretending to be something they thought she'd want in a man. They'd lie about how much money they made, what their jobs were, all kinds of stuff. Why would a guy willing to lie about his job and his income find a pang of conscience and be honest about his political beliefs?

One of our sons is gay, and our daughter discovered that referring to "my brother and his boyfriend" (now "husband," thank you 2015 Supreme Court) had a way of exposing cracks in men's façades. They'd pretend to be progressive - after all, if they really followed they conservative ideals they promoted they wouldn't want sex at all until marriage - but their faces would change a little when they found she had a gay brother with a boyfriend.


Askmen's response

Posted THIS in r/askmen. I’ve noticed the disparities in responses in womens vs mens and it will hopefully be interesting.

Adding user responses below:

Easier that way. When men are together and no women are around you probably wouldn't believe the things that come out of the mouthes of your brother, father, lover, son, etc. I work with all women and am one of 5 guys, which 0 are on my shift with me. Anytime politics or religion or anything comes up like it does all day every day I just shut my mouth and agree with whatever they say or pretend to be aloof and like they are teaching me something. Much easier that way because being factually correct and being "right" are two totally different things and sorry ladies but we all know which one of those you strive to be.

For the pussy

To get laid

I DID IT ALL FOR THE NOOKIE

Sometimes it's just about getting laid

I keep reading "I will hide my support of parties that support various forms of misogyny until I get the thing I want from the people affected by that misogyny" and Jesus fuck you could consider maybe, just fucking maybe, if you have to be dishonest to get what you want maybe you're on the wrong damn side. Somehow being a lying selfish asshole has become virtue signaling to other men which is exactly how societies fall apart or go to civil war. It's not because you have a dick. It's because you're an asshole that you have to lie to get pussy.

Men don't, Republicans do.

You know why.

Because their opinions if expressed would make a vagina dry up faster than the Sahara Desert.

To get laid.

We're willing to listen to your delusional bs, inflated sense of self-importance and narcissism for the brief access to your clam.

You're welcome.

There’s only one reason and it’s pretty obvious.

This sounds exclusive to people with conservative political views. In which case they are aware women won't like their actual opinions, so they decieve someone into sleeping with them.

If you are terrified of being deceived, simply make an excessive amount of abortion jokes. Liberal guys most likely won't care but you will push a conservatives buttons and they will show some slight resistance, probably.

Because they're trying to have sex, not debate how ridiculous the Democratic party has become.

To get laid. I won't tell women around I think immigrants can GTFO because women are sensitive and that's irrilevant for my goal.

Because our views on politics aren't that important, but some people think they are. Just because I think something today doesn't mean I'm willing to die for it or even that I'll have the same idea tomorrow.

Frankly my view on politics is so unimportant to me that I don't really defend it. But if I share it, people have instantly branded me a far- right bigot and then there's no convincing them otherwise.

I just would want something that dumb to come between a potentially great relationship.

We do it to get laid.

Because the competition is lying as well. Gotta keep up.

Cause they trying to get that punani

Is this a real question?? Like really??

Because he knows no woman would be willing to.sleep with him if they know how he really feels

I don't lie about anything. I am also not very successful with pursuing women. Anecdotal evidence but take it for what you will

    Hah! Normally just saying I'm a Bernie bro is enough to get by. But this one gal I was seeing was discussing her plans to rent out a room to college kids at a rate that would pay her whole mortgage when instinctively let out a 'landlords get the wall' She wasn't thrilled. 🤷‍♂️
