Off the top of my head Opresser gets the idea across without suggesting a conspiracy by men as a gender to keep women repressed, as you said this state of being oppresses men just as it does women. You’d get more allies and less friction from the layperson if half aren’t subconsciously painted as minions and actors for the opressing class.

This thread makes it very clear society thinks its OK for women to do it.

I’d use a genderless term, again to avoid alienating fence sitters and outsiders. Because people don’t like being associated with one if the greatest evils of society simply because they were born male. What is so fucking hard to understand about this?

I have not had that experience no… My family bred and trained dogs for 3 generations, mostly sled dogs and k9 for the local cops (this was the 50s and Alaska) and more recently we raised pythons, along with rats to feed them. Breeders graduated to pet and got cushy retirements in the giant birdcage we set up.

When the criticism is “How dare he express his own pain.” Yeah you better fucking believe I’ll see you as the enemy and come out swinging, men are EXTREMELY disadvanted in society regarding having our mental health issues and trauma recognized as legitimate.

Edit: After surviving my last suicide attempt I promised myself to never be silent when the same pain that eats at my soul to this day is dismissed. This entire post is soaked in it.

My suggestion is NOT GENOCIDE is that clear enough? How stupid do I have to make it.l before you understand the obliteration of a people and culture are wrong, evil actions?

Calling it the Patriarchy genders the oppressor, women in the same position do the same inhumane and cruel tactics to retain power as their male counterparts. Toxic Masculinity vs Internalized Misogyny is another, men are toxic actors while women who exhibit the same toxicity are treated as victims, the flagrant sexism I encounter in e ery feminist space I lurk in because as a man I am not allowed to speak. That’s my problem,the sheer utter hypocrisy. I will never understand how feminist thinkers can be so talented at recognizing the power of wording when it’s used against them but somehow become denser than a neutron star when it comes to seeing their own problematic and frankly hateful word choices

A lot of little mammals are this way, pet rats for example

I’m sorry you lack basic human empathy, I hope you get the help you need.

Silence helps no one.

Yes. Genocide is wrong no matter the targets. If you have a problem with that you are a fascist

No walking it back now. The destruction of a nation frequently leads to the slaughter of it people, look to the Middle East for plenty of examples.

Gotcha men have to spin their pain to be acceptable to society, this sounds familiar…

“It’s not named after men” “rule of the father” what gender is a father typically? I don’t see it as a battle of the sexes, it’s a battle for basic human empathy

You realize the Kremlin isn’t all there is to Russia right? There are people there, ones that aren’t fascist bastards.

And that’s your prerogative, I hope you let hate control you less, it’s something I work on as well

As someone who has watched family rot from the inside due to dementia, yeah. It’s a horrific fate. Not gonna cry over him but a “that sucks man” is only human.

Nah I just don’t like sexist trash

I did use words bigot

I didn’t dismiss you, I pointed out the harm you did to an SA survivor. I never said men had it worse, you did that to try and discredit my point. And you should have empathy for your enemies, it helps you understand them.
