Tried to have an honest conversation with my Boomer, feminist mother this weekend. Explained that feminism have created a generation of simps. Didn't seem to realize that The Great Psyop was always aimed to create weak men. I wonder if married men will start "quiet quitting."

Part of The Great Psyop is the other side of feminism: the manosphere. Neither is based on reality. If you're good-looking, odds are you'll be with someone good-looking. Naturally, if you are ugly, you'll be with someone ugly. Now, the exception is online dating. This isn't real life sorting. There is a kernel of truth to that illustration in that setting.

If you think only good-looking, rich men get girls, spend more time outside Go to the zoo You will see many overweight, unattractive, blue-collar men who are happy with wives & kids Their wives are usually looksmatched & from similar socioeconomic backgrounds

@thechosenberg Two things: He's wasting her time. He's playing her. This is kinda evil/narcissistic. She's caught up in sunk cost fallacy. She isn't dating intentionally; she's dating for the funs. Both deserve what they get. Neither is treating the other well.

Why would you put up with this

@Rianstone Taps the sign:

As I see more and more men do more and more stuff, I wonder when the "quiet quitting" will begin. I'm starting to think we've moved beyond equity and into the realm of servitude. Eventually, men awaken and realize they're not with a Ritz cracker but a saltine. Now, I like saltines, but they are not the same.

@uncledoomer "It is better to live on a corner of the roof than to share a house with a quarrelsome wife" appears in Proverbs 21:9 and Proverbs 25:24. It isn't written twice in the Bible, but twice in the same book. There's a lesson in there somewhere.

every woman reading this is horrified and every man reading this is filled with jealousy

@LisaBritton Statistically, it is possible, but on a long enough timeline it becomes improbable.

I love Sienna for style reasons, but her perspectives should be criticized. Yes, she had babies at 42 and 44, but promoting that path to millions of women isn’t good. Women can’t have babies in their 80s, Sienna. A narrative exists because biology is a reality. It’s not only far more difficult to get pregnant in your 40s, it’s also more dangerous for mom and baby. The decades-long narrative that women should put off babies until ‘whenever’ is the narrative that needs to change. This coming from a woman who waited too long, btw.

What one calls "female fragility" is a nicer way of saying "narcissist." This post is describing reactive abuse. Reactive abuse is, literally, poking the bear. When the bear reacts, the other sputters something about being a victim. Covert narcissists excel at this.

@KomanderXander "It is better to live on a corner of the roof than to share a house with a quarrelsome wife" appears in Proverbs 21:9 and Proverbs 25:24. That's not twice in the Bible, but twice in the same book.

The woman doesn’t even consider asking herself what she has done that made her husband completely check out Zero self awareness Amazing

@Rianstone I wonder denomination of Christianity she is?

OH COME THE FUCK ON

@beekmanplace78 The question is this: in either situation did you learn something? Or, did you just blame the other and never take responsibility? In both instances, there are lessons to be learned.

You don’t have to label every relationship you leave as toxic, narcissistic etc…. Maybe you were the knucklehead causing all the problems and you’re in denial. Maybe you were the toxic, narcissistic one. That’s why your partner left and is now with someone else.

@Cr7Godbrand You'll become exhausted and burned out. Sure, in the short-term taking care of your wife is the right thing to do. However, I've noticed a trend where this never ends. Instead, the goal posts are constantly being moved.

You can do all of this as a man for ten years straight, but the moment you forget to take out the trash few time, she will tell the world that she’s been mothering you and that you never did anything for her or the family. Only women, after twenty years of marriage, will tell the world that a man never did anything good for her in their 20 years of marriage.

@BradleyGrey_ Sadly...many men have fallen victim.

Christianity harmed entire generations of men. I was one of them, because I took my faith seriously in a way most people around me didn’t. The church told men to commit. To be responsible. To guard their sexuality until marriage. And men listened because commitment is fundamentally a male trait. When men believe in something, they go all in. That’s not a weakness. It’s actually one of our greatest strengths. But it was used against us. While we were busy suppressing our sexuality and calling it virtue, we never learned how to express desire, pursue women, or handle rejection. Our teen years and early twenties - the years most men are figuring all of this out - passed us by completely. Not because we were lazy. Because we were ashamed of our own nature. So we showed up to real life in our late twenties and thirties having missed an entire chapter that most men had already lived. The anger a lot of men feel because of this? I get it. I felt it too. Thankfully I found a way through it. Your desire was never the problem. The broken framework was. And frameworks can be unlearned. I know because I unlearned mine. If you’re ready to do the same, DM me the word SHAME.

@HannahWardEdu @WaterwornPebble Yup. Now, my kids are self-supporting. But, I tried to instill in them a side hustle mentality.

1. You have to be willing to work for yourself. Careers are over. 2. Name-brand degrees and alumni networks have lost all networking power. You have to build stuff and talk to real people about what you're building. You have to prove yourself daily and credentials won't cut it. 3. This generation needs to get as much college done as they can before 18 (you read that right) then start building. This delay is killing all forward momentum with the American pioneering spirit. High school has been diluted to absolute meaninglessness. College is a repeat of much of high school and holds no weight. It wastes some of our best and most creative years. Credential up between 14-18 if you want to then BUILD BUILD BUILD.

It's hard out there

@apxmindset "It is better to live on a corner of the roof than to share a house with a quarrelsome wife" appears in Proverbs 21:9 and Proverbs 25:24. It appears TWICE in Proverbs.

Lmfao it sounds like she’s annoying so he decided to live his best life. 😂

@FemCondition The Great Psyop must continue. It just must. Tried to explain this to my Boomer mother. It did not go well. With these people, the cognitive dissonance is too much. If they agree to this, then their whole world view will crumble into dust.

An actual weekend long X argument with a radfem- -She claims women are discriminated against in heart failure research. -I point out men have double the risk, women don't catch up till their 60s/70s. -She persists, claiming men are researched more and it's gendered discrimination in Healthcare. Women die more than men. -I link a Harvard study saying women die more because they are older, keep smoking and don't take their meds. -She persists and gets verbally abusive. -I link that funding isn't gendered AND women have isolated heart failure research funds JUST for them totaling $75 million. -She STILL INSISTS women are facing gendered discrimination in heart failure research. The radical feminism NEED to make women victims has made women victims of themselves-and each other. They're incredibly abusive to women who don't subscribe.

@EduardHabsburg I thought it was the cheesiness of it that was so endearing.

🔥CONTROVERSIAL TAKE🔥 Just rewatched HIGHLANDER after literally DECADES by proudly showing it to my son, and to my great embarrassment I found it was NOT the brilliant epic I remembered, but: Slow paced. Flashy. Clunky. Gaudy. Pedestrian sword fights. Barely noticed the Queen music. It is elevated a little when Sean Connery or Clancy Brown are on screen, but other than that, as Monty Python says in a sketch.... "whole thing's a bit silly." What, oh what was 1986 me thinking?? And what do you think?👇

Let me tell you about the time I had to bake my own birthday cake while the wife binged streaming...

@taylorburrowes "Letting him lead" turns into letting him to do everything. It is only a matter of time before fatigue sets in. I wonder if husbands will start "quiet quitting?"

A lot of women think they’re “letting him lead,” but what they’re actually doing is withholding all initiative. And it doesn’t read as feminine. It reads as disinterest.

The more the man does...the more the man will have to do. Boomer women complained that men didn't do enough around the house (despite earning the money to pay for it and maintaining it). Men listened. Each generation has been expected to do more, yet women have been expected to do less. Now, men do the bulk of everything. It is only a matter of time before they burn out and start quitting. Lastly, running a household is stupidly simple. Anyone saying it's hard is just lazy.

The amount of wives who need husbands to be Mr mom because they lack emotional regulation, patience, organized domestic skills... And then wondering why their man in an apron dries them out like the Sahara.
