Why won't men attend my feminist book club and "do activism"? (archive.is)

The men who get the advice to try to meet women this way are the exact same men who get called creeps who only joined the activity to hit on women. The men women actually want don't have to do this gay shit to try to meet women.

Wants male activists, posts a picture of men performing mass decapitations in the french revolution and clarifies that is the sort of "activism" she wants from them.

So it seems like just like at her tech day job, she just wants men to do all the hard work for her.

Cartoonishly feminine drawn avatar, pink and purple retro aesthetic, tells ais to write code and calls themselves a hacker.

Who's betting, is it a troon? Or a buck toothed gremlin who got a pussy pass position managing a small cyber security team and has deluded themselves into thinking they have any actual value?

I'm betting the latter on this one, but I wouldn't put big money against the trooning.

Spends literally two decades trying to force men out of everything.

Where are all the men?

I have multiple friends that attend classes, meetups, book clubs, do activism, all attendees are women and there are zero men.

Because those activities are tedious and suck. It's a fundamental misunderstanding of why men and women do things.

Classes? I find it kind of odd that someone who seems pretty plugged into cyber-everything would think attending a class in person, paced to the lowest common denominator, is the best way to learn any skill. There's pretty much infinite resources to learn anything self-directed now. *

Meetups? Unnecessarily structured. Occasionally can be nice for being introduced to people with common interests if you're new to an area, but once you have a friend group you'll pick up new acquaintances by chaining and it will filter out a lot of the people you wouldn't want to interact with who might be at a meetup.

Book clubs? Just read the damn book and enjoy it. Think about it yourself. Maybe recommend it to a friend and talk about it later. Making it a scheduled social even, again, unnecessarily structured. This is just a way to make it about you instead of the book.

Activism? Vast majority of activists are insufferable retards. I'm hard-pressed to think of a group I'd less like to spend time around. Also, it's 2025. You can "organize" whatever without having a little gathering. If it's a pretense for a social get together, just have the social get together.

Pretty much all of these are, "what group can I join to compel others to interact with me socially." That's a very feminine take. Men went to classes to learn. Men participated in activism to change things. The meetup aspect was the means, not the end. If the ends is socializing, we'll just call up some friends and go socialize. We don't feel the need to dress it up as something else.

* Yeah there are exceptions when specific equipment is involved and you need to learn hands-on, but that isn't the common case.

I think the structure of classes can be helpful, especially if you have a good teacher. They can suggest topic order/selection, tips and tricks they've picked up, and it can be helpful for staying on track. Of course as you said men take classes to learn skills, not try to pick up the kind of women who have the resort to taking classes to find men.

Even book clubs have some merit (in theory at least) if you enjoy talking about books and need that extra push to keep reading every night. The problem with book clubs is that the books they read are gonna suck if women have any sort of control, which they will if the club is female dominated. They'll be shitty romance novels at best and feminist drivel at worst.

Because Feminists are the enemy?
