Men, how do you deal with the misandry online. Does it affect you mentally?
  • I deal with it with grace, understanding, and compassion. I'm gay, but as a white cis man I still have obscene amounts of privilege. I feel a bit like a double agent. I'm a minority, but as I move through the world I am afforded all of the privilege that patriarchy can offer. And I can say with full confidence, the misandry I encounter pales in comparison to the homophobia I encounter. This goes for online as well as irl. And "pales in comparison" is inadequate. It's so not even on the same playing field. They are not even comparable. I get it. It's rougher to be a straight man than it's ever been. I routinely get "mistreated" because I'm a bearded white guy who looks like Steve from Minnesota. But having a woman be less polite to me now and then is nowhere near what I go through as a queer. Especially growing up. I used to pray every night for god to kill me. Because I am queer. Not because I am a man. And I've tried to explain this to my brothers, and they don't get it and can't help but feel like the victim in all of this. And I bet you will align with them. But hopefully someone reading this will hear it. Yes, you are struggling. But fucking cope. Cope. Sharpen your coping skills. Because you have still been spared in a way you can't even comprehend.

  • This pisses me off. The amount of hubris is appalling. They told you weather was on its way but it didn't look like it so you went anyways? So you trust your eyes that can only see a fraction of the sky more than weather satellites? Fuck off. Poor girl. Reared by a moron.

  • 30 Years Ago, Romania Deprived Thousands of Babies of Human Contact. Here’s what’s become of them.
  • Everyone read this. It's an incredibly well written article. Journalism like this is so rare.

    Jesus fucking christ. This has hit me like a ton of bricks. And this is all so recent. What a stupid bubble I've grown up in. Glad to be edified, but mortified at humans, as well as totally inspired by them. Izidor and all of the other suffering people out there put me to shame. What a dumb thing to complain about work today.

    Wishing that peace finds all those who have suffered at the hands of monstrous humans.

  • Do you all remember how quickly they backed down as soon as ashley babbit was shot? (yes I know I spelled it wrong, I don't care to honor that piece of trash). A whole crowd of these fuckers. and presumably the most rabid of them, their infantry if you will. These are the cultists who spent money, time, and energy to be there. So they are also the ones with means. Also, presumably a bunch of them were carrying concealed weapons. Then one person gets shot and the entire thing crumbles. Cowards. Through and through cowards. And they think they can win a war?

  • Israel's high court orders the army to draft ultra-Orthodox men, rattling Netanyahu's government
  • Such a clear example of religion as a tool of power. They are cowards using religion as a shield. They scream and scream about how evil everyone else is but expect those others to do all the killing for them. The killing that they demand. Cowards. Dumb too. Like so dumb words can't even cover it.
