There's no "this" to get in the middle of, for the record. At least I hope there isn't. My intent really wasn't to try to pick a fight or anything. I don't have a problem with anyone really, and agree with him on some points. It just does strike me as somewhat hypocritical to indulge in or cheer on the same sort of stuff you otherwise condemn.
Agreed. But men and women play off each other. Women suck nowadays. So do men. If the men who know better engage in the same sort of behavior that encourages women to be shit, how can there be change? Again, I totally get the impulse, and I also get the argument that one man who could get theirs but chooses not to wouldn't make a difference. But I also believe personal choice does play a part, and if more people went with what they knew was right versus what they knew they could get away with, perhaps things could be better.
It's a sucky situation. Why should men suffer on the off chance their actions can make women marginally better? It's a shit ask, admittedly. But, for better or worse, that is kind of the role men have often taken. If we think women are shit, we obviously can't trust them to make the world a better place, right? So that leaves men. And, again, if the men who know better just give into the current system, where does change come from?
Man, when you put it like that...Yeah, it's pretty fucking easy to be blackpilled, I get that.
I never said he was wrong, pragmatically. Just that the attitude is, perhaps, self defeating. Again, I get it's a big - heck, monumental - ask. It's mighty tempting, I totally agree. If sluts gonna slut, might as well get some sluts. I get the argument. But I also realize that doesn't make anything better.
Yup. And always has been. Question is, do we care enough to try?
I suppose this is really the crux of the matter, and RaceCreatesCulture makes the compelling argument (or at least the gist of what he puts forth) that those of us who would like to see better have already lost.
So you're fighting an uphill battle from underneath; and it does put the onus on those who would like to see better in the awful position of doing "their part", but to what end will it affect anything?
