What's wrong with the women of this generation?

~Women in this generation act like they are being persecuted on the regular, when they have it better then even men now. I've seen a lot of women as manager's, have a lot of rights as to what they want to do with there lives, there's a lot more genuine men who are willing to fight for them, they are free to speak there opinion and choose a life they want.

They are really privilege in this time frame, yet they act like they are in the 1800s fighting for women's rights. Things where way worst back then, they had no rights, it was rare to find a man who would fight for them and even care, they often times didn't get to choose there lives and where forced into marriage as if they where objects, and they didn't have much of a right to speak without being looked down upon by society.

Now women are cry babies who base there personality on hating men, and whine and cry about how terrible the world treats them. They put what there ancestors fought for to shame, now back in the day, those where real women. They fought through the hardest shit and still had time for love, empathy, understand and loyalty.

Most of the women now are going through the exact crap everyone else's is going through. There isn't much of an uneven balance, things are pretty balanced. Not only that, but women now in days don't want men to sexualize them, but only make themselves avaliable sexually. There are some bad apples, don't get me wrong, but there is sure a lot of good ones too. Yet when confronted with genuineness they toss it away like it's something common to them, why? Because it is, and what does that mean? It means not all men are sexualizing them, they are choosing to believe that. Heck a lot of guys are even willing to settle for friendship, because to him she means that much.

Another is abortion, women want the right to have an abortion under any reason. Yet they are irresponsible with there own bodies, and don't seem to realize now your dealing with two life's instead of one. They don't seem to realize they are hurting grape victims by irresponsibly getting pregnant and having an abortion for fun. Because the grape victim wasn't irresponsible with their bodies, and they didn't ask to have sex nor seek it out, bless there poor hearts.

Yet also women that hate men are trying to chase away men, both good and bad ones, but then complains when no man is stepping up to the plate. Here's the thing about this situation, usually the bad men doesn't get chased away, because they really don't care about your feelings. Usually good men do, because good men are try to respect you and your feelings, they are trying to have understand and love. Good men always have to make the hardest of choices, because to keep there good status they have to let go and don't really have a choice if they wanna save there heart from a lifetime of aching.

Women in spite of all that they believe in, still choose the bad guy's. The guys who treat them like trash, who grape them, who hurt children, who are terrible to society and trap women in relationships. They also have that one friend who thinks they know what's best for them, but can't even figure out their own life or make correct decisions. Although you can find that in guys as well.

Anyway this is my rant, and one reason I am losing hope for humanity. I am sure I missed some good points, but it's all so much to think about.~

To the men: Would you be fine with a gay son as long as he was closeted, masculine, and promised to marry a woman?

So to preface this, I promise its not a shitpost and Im genuinely curious.

Some background: I've known I was gay for a while, but I was raised in a loving and masculine household and my father is masculine, so are my older brothers. However, for whatever reason, I've been attracted to guys, and it's been weighing in on me for a while because I don't want to be associated with that crowd, even though that may sound homophobic, and there are a multitude of reasons why I would never come out of the closet. Im not promiscuous, a virgin, and I always listen to whatever my father has to say. I did Varsity Lax in HS, was the valedictorian of my HS, and am currently attending a great college doing engineering.

However I still feel as though I failed my dad for mentally having these thoughts, even though I promised him to marry eventually, etc. I feel like I failed my father because I love him and don't want him to be dissapointed. He's quite homophobic (i guess, understandably) but has suspected for a while. I just hear a lot on how gay dudes are groomed, or pedos, or how no one wants one, how they have stds, less acceptance than lesbians, etc. and I don't want to be associated with that sort of environment.

Any other dudes having these thoughts?

Is moaning randomly a normal thing?

My little brother (12) does it a lot and I find it weird and gross, and at first when I asked him to stop making that noise he asked what noise so I thought he wasn't aware of it.

Earlier he was doing it again and he told me to leave him alone and let him make those sounds, and he continued.

But an old guy that i know randomly does it too, so i wondered if it's normal for guys or just something that some of them have

Can someone explain this?

I know guys like this IRL, and they are close to inceldom. Does anyone have ideas on how to teach young men to stop thinking like this? There are so many red flags in this sort of thing, I don't know where to start. This is an example I came across yesterday.

How can I stop being a whiny depressed virgin?

​

27 and the only sex I had in my worthless life was being raped. I somehow make these things my whole personality. It's constantly on my mind. I don't blame anyone besides myself for it but I have to admit, I do get slightly jealous seeing happy couples. I just want to be happy.

A small dream achieved

I'm 20M. A couple of months ago, I went to a friend's house for her birthday. All of my friends were there too. She has a little brother (8 yrs old), and I got along well with that kid. He was very clingy, but kids love me so I didn't think much of it.

Anyway a month or so later, I met her brother again when the friend group went for movies together. When she pulled up with her brother, the kid looks at me and without skipping a beat, says, "Hey Spider-Man!"

I didn't think much of it, but he said something similar the next time we met too.

I asked my friend why he kept calling me Spider-Man. She said that he's a huge fan of Spider-Man, and when he first met me, he thought that I was so cool, that he thought of me as Spider-Man.

Spider-Man has been my biggest role model growing up, and a kid thinks I'm as cool as him makes me smile like an idiot.

How important is clear skin when having sex?

I have small bumps on the back of my thighs and I have some strawberry leg back there too plus some acne scars on my back? Is this a turn off? Do guys prefer when a girl’s skin is entirely smooth and clear? Or do they not really pay attention? I also usually wax but have been having sex so frequently that I’ve been shaving and plucking rn but I’ve noticed my skin isn’t getting ingrowns and dark spots around my bikini so guys care about that too?

62 million men or 62 million chances to do something and not one of them did anything

What’s the excuse now men ?

“I went there accidentally “but I didn’t say anything .

“It’s not me it’s my friend” but I don’t say anything .

“I hate my wife , daughter, girlfriend”

“We’re married so I can do whatever “

So women aren’t safe outside. They’re not safe inside . They’re not safe with their husbands or their hookups , boyfriends ,brothers, uncles ,male friends .

not safe in the day or night . Not safe in the west or the global south . Not safe when they’re rich or poor . Not safe as presidents of Mexico or beggars.

Not safe in school ,church, the club.

“It’s not 62 million men” so 62 million visits some multiple and not 1 man thought to do anything .

What gives?

Is this the sum total of what men bring to the table ? Rape? Is this it the grand achievement of the male species when we ask for the meaning of life ? Is this all we can do as men?
