videos of girls of questionably-legal age dressed up as videogame characters doing some like pixar face shit

a very specific genre of young redheads going on about how they're really attracted to older men or even their dad's friends ????

some weird kind of "goth gf" femdom-ish kind of stuff?

"dating advice" at varying points on the reasonable-observation/seething-incel spectrum...a lot of these guys are in march 2026 still seething about that "man vs bear" post lmao

women basically doing redpill/MRA talking points, i guess to pander to their audience? Kind of a uniquely pathetic type of person tbh.

it feels like a troll article to me? like she has this rule in her head that contradicts a notional commitment to equality because of her daddy issues. come on.and i mean:

I'm looking for signs of partnership. When a man reaches for the bill without hesitation, it's not about the cost. It's about the instinct to handle things. Leadership in small moments signals leadership in larger ones.

well are you looking for a partner or a leader? These are very different things, and i'm not sure that calling for your male romantic partner to provide you with "leadership in larger moments" is actually compatible with calling oneself a feminist. But, whatever, the contents of the article aren't really the point.

on a certain level, I don’t even disagree, I think women bring innate value to a relationship in a way that men don’t, simply because we need women far more than they need us.

But idk how this actually functions in practice, there are by definition fewer “men richer than me” than there are women at any given social bracket.

As to the statement that men need women more than the reverse.. in a sense that does appear to be somewhat true; certainly there are multiple studies indicating that women are more likely to report happiness/high life satisfaction while single than men/ that being in a relationship is more likely to have a positive effect on life satisfaction and even life expectancy for men than for women.

But before we decide this is because of some kind of magic Value Source in the Divine Feminine Soul or some shit, we should consider alternatives.

For instance, does sexism mean that on average women are more likely to be in a relationship with someone who doesn't really respect them?

Are men socialised not to give or receive physical and emotional intimacy within platonic friendships and even familial relationships with other men, leaving women as their only potential source of these things?

Are middle-aged women likely to be making sure their partners eat right and make their doctor's appointments, while also having to ensure that they do those things for themselves whether they're partnered or not?

I don't have a strong objection to this set of preferences, but they are not feminist. The straightforwardly feminist position would be that a man paying for a meal is a patriarchal norm, and since the personal is political it's a practice that should be rejected.

I also do kind of think that in practice you do kind of have to make a choice as to whether you want to be a dependent or an equal. If you start a relationship on the basis of the man taking leadership and paying for everything, do you really expect to then transition to an egalitarian relationship? I'm not saying it's impossible but there's an obvious tension there imo.

The stuff i'm describing here is coming to my facebook feed alongside advertisements for onlyfans accounts, semi-redpill content, and for some reason dramatic readings of r/AITA threads. This pseudo-feminism is clearly part of an ecosystem with these other things, i think.

ocasionally i notice my youtube algorithm drifting that way and i have to deliberately spend time 'do not recommend this channel' ing a bunch of stuff to sort it again (although it hasn't done that in a while, but i remember when andrew tate was big it felt like I had to actively avoid youtube wanting to push my recommendations in that direction, and i only rarely watch shorts and don't have tiktok/ facebook).

This makes it more similar to the red vs blue death pill post. Its appropriate use is as an example of "dumb gender discourse," "popular dumb gender discourse," or "popular dumb gender discourse that is hostile to men," but it's not institutional (e.g. Duluth Model) or properly ideological.
