One that always annoyed me is when it is around the holidays, when stores advertise gifts for men. They always assume a guy is into toilet humor, beer humor, assuming they’re a lumberjack who needs to survive out in the wilderness, are into bbq-ing all of the time so gotta have those available all year around for some reason.

Even when I used to have identified myself as a guy, I never once fit into any of those traits. Just because guys grow beards, doesn’t always mean they’re chopping wood somewhere and always wearing plaid.

    Threaten to do what?

    If women don’t put up with it en masse then there is fuck all men can do about it. Mass action is how things change

      Mass violence. The tate bs comes from this. The incel mass shootings come from this. Hell the polytechnique shooting was in conversation with this. Men who can’t get laid because women decide men aren’t worth the effort sometimes loudly talk online about how they’re considering rape about it. And that’s not talking about the pushes towards misogynistic politicians, like how young American men who can’t get laid are increasingly opposing women’s suffrage.

      For a good example of all of it look at the epidemic of gendered violence in South Korea.

        Im not American so i simply cant relate to the shooting aspect of it although from ive seen are mostly politcal/racial rather than misogynistic. I dont have a great deal of knowledge of it though so happy to admit i could be wrong with it. There are a lot of garbage men out there, no doubt about it. There are also a lot of lost men that fall for the tate type crap. What i really dont get are the conservative women who support it all. Why?

        This has drifted a bit from the original subject and i dont want to end up inadvertantly linking lack of housework to domestic violence! My point is that I think far too many people tolerate but complain about a situation without doing anything to fix it. Obv when it comes to violence it needs ti be viewed through a different lense
