Idk, I try real hard to remind others that Tanner, the Night Shift manager at the Circle K, is NOT the reason women are oppressed, and making him feel like he’s the reason does nothing to support our equality cause.
We genuinely do have to support men having space to air their issues with society/the world, and let them know that they’re heard/understood.
The patriarchy hurts everyone, including the dude who is told to swallow his feelings/frustrations and he is only allowed to be interested in sex/woodworking/hunting to be a “real man” and “accepted” by his bros.
So like, maybe we could not laugh at men’s struggles and still support ladies?
I’m not saying he deserves to suffer; I’m saying it’s funny when he does.
I take their issues seriously. As seriously as I take anything. I just also find their pain funny.
The patriarchy does hurt everyone, and its even funnier when it hurts men! The patriarchy is like cops: it can’t do good things, but it can do funny things. One could even say the intrinsic humor in mens’ suffering is a privilege in the traditionally male dominated field of slapstick.
I can help you up even if I laugh when you fall. I might, even! If it was bad enough for you to not hit on me after!
I keep seeing people acting like humor is a moral hierarchal and value judgment, and that just makes me think you’re deeply unfun unfunny and vile fucking people I sincerely hope to never meet.
Nope, still funny. Not as morally satisfying, but still funny.
So you’re just a bad person then
I think that’s a very oversimplified description, but I don’t mind being seen as that.
