Whether it's their Bronifestos or their skeevy DMs, men are mostly unchallenged on their beliefs that they are unique geniuses.

One reason it's so difficult for men to believe in systemic discrimination against people like them is nobody shows them how dull they are.

Give me a man who thinks he's "sticking it to the SJW oppressors" and I'll show you someone entirely interchangeable for 10,000 other men.

I mean, without any friction, switch them out mid conversation and never spot the joins level. They're that generic.

The "we're combating the PC oppression" myth is entirely self serving because everyone knows defending the status quo is uncool.

So people basically invented this fake oppression where other people asking to be treated like people for a change ruined their lives.

Men create this persona around their entirely generic, entirely boring reactionary politics that lets them cosplay being rebels.

But they aren't. Their contributions are entirely unnecessary.

Every woman alive could have written that Google Bronifesto from the brief "imagine what every sexist dullard you work with would write."

Just like your witty DM slide is actually just one more wave in a neverending ocean of mediocre cock crashing on the beach of a woman's day,

so your "disruptive" rebellion against the tyranny of PC and SJWs is utterly mundane and uncreative.

These men think they're not talked to because we can't handle their truth bombs disrupting our bubble. The opposite is true.

These opinions aren't radical new insights disrupting our cosy little world. They are the literal wallpaper of our lives.

They. Are. Everywhere. They are completely inescapable. They are totally ubiquitous and generic.

Believing "hey what if women aren't as smart as men?" is some *radical new thought* you're *shaking up the system* by proposing is... weird.

It's like strolling into a meeting on "the future of transportation in America" and saying "have you considered the automobile?"

Then getting really upset when nobody acknowledges you as the fucking saviour of the whole industry with your radical insights.

Most men believe themselves to be insightful speakers of truth to power, when in reality they don't even pass the Turing Test.

It's impossible to tell the difference between one generic EvoPsych dullard and another, or between them and a basic twitter bot.

They're not rejected their stunning insights are blowing up our minds and we can't handle the truth. It's cos they're fucking dull.

N O T H I N G they have to say is new. If we give them the time to expound their beliefs, we will learn nothing, we will be bored.

Nobody is going to listen to the 346th Jason arsedribble about why he's naturally better than you on the offchance this one has a good point

They're just fucking not. So shut up, Jason.

Of course, the anti-SJWs who take pride in being "offensive" and "bursting your bubble" absolutely cannot accept this position.

And, like, ask women how often those "hi" or "you're cute" in their DMs turn into "fucking fat bitch never wanted to fuck u anyway whore." Same thing.

Men are conditioned to view their own intense, weaponised mediocrity as if it were fucking gold plated diamonds.

Ask any woman how many times a random man has, out of the fucking blue, told her that her boyfriend doesn't appreciate her like he would.

That man, too, will *honestly believe* he's speaking truth to power, sticking up for Truth Justice and America.

And when politely rebuffed will go away fuming, believing on the basis of *his own imagined world* that women hate nice guys and like jerks.

People say that "this generation" is coddled because it got participation trophies. My dudes, wait till u hear about toxic masculinity.

Men don't realise that women's "work" for most of their day is negotiating space from boring men who could turn into angry men at any moment

The reason this stuff isn't just "another opinion" or worth debating in the marketplace of ideas is the threat of violence that underpins it

Men are coddled in their belief about their own mediocrity even if they won't get violent because other men will, and that's a risk.

So if you're a man and you've got to bore on at a woman trying to do her job without getting told to fuck off, that's a systemic advantage.

It's easier for women to indulge men than it is to just say "fuck off, Jason" and deal with the fucking tantrum that follows.

Which reinforces this idea that their "hi bb" or "boobs make u computers bad" opinion is, y'know, worthy of attention.

Which makes them produce more of this reheated porridge masquerading as thinking and present it to the world as if it was the Rosetta Stone.

And, guys, it's not women or minorities job to either indulge you OR to stop indulging you as part of their "make Jason shut up" strategy.

It's your job to take a good look around and think "am I honestly presenting the world's freshest take here?"

"I just messaged a literal sex worker with "hi bb." What are the actual chances that's not been a waste of both our times?"

Just, like, develop even the most rudimentary fucking self awareness, you guys.

#thank god i am not pretty#if i were i'd be in jail#for stabbing a dude who harrassed me because he thought i was pretty

I absolutely get this mindset and understand where you’re coming from, but I think it’s important to check your assumption that the reason men harass women has anything to do with how pretty they are.

For example: I am not pretty. I am overweight, have... let’s say I have skin that doesn’t really like me that much, my hair is nice but often just up in a bun and not dazzling anyone with its beauty, and I wear either jeans or yoga pants and a sour expression. This has not prevented me from getting harassed dozens of occasions by dozens of different men. Conversely, one of my best friends in the world is a stunning woman who wears nothing but fantastically beautiful dresses and usually has her hair blowing freely in the wind like a goddamn Pantene ProV commercial. She has, with complete honesty, told me that she’s never been harassed on the street. (She has been harassed, just in a professional rather than public context. Lucky her!)

Men who harass women do so based on any number of criteria, but a big one - a HUGE, #1 WITH A BULLET criteria, is how vulnerable that woman is. A young woman is preferable to an older one not because the younger one is more attractive, but because a young woman has less experience in dealing with harassment; she is more likely to flinch or smile nervously or hunch her shoulders or do whatever the harasser wants her to do while an older woman will get out the pepper spray. A woman alone is preferable to a woman in a group (which is VASTLY preferable to a woman with a man or a group of men) not because one of the group isn’t pretty enough, but because in a group you are stronger and more able to confront a harasser. A thin woman is preferable to a muscular woman - which is preferable to an overweight woman (for certain types of harassment, anyway; I’ve gotten my share of “OINK OINK!” laughed at me from cars or the sidewalk) not because the thin woman is prettier, but because the fat woman is, quite literally, a bigger threat; fat women tend to have more muscle, too, and harassers know this. A woman wearing a pretty dress or a sexy top is preferable to one wearing sweats and a hoodie (although that certainly won’t deter harassers, alas) not because the sweats make you uglier but because harassers are very, very aware that the culture of “if she didn’t like it she shouldn’t have dressed like that” is still dominant and thriving in our society; they know that they can claim “she was dressed sexy/slutty” and people will literally nod in agreement with him.

So Jane, the reason you have not been harassed isn’t because of something you lack (ie prettiness) because prettiness is - not irrelevant, but certainly less relevant than you’d imagine. The reason you have not been harassed is because harassers do not think you are worth the risk. It’s not necessarily something to take pride in, because women who are harassed aren’t doing something wrong; but it is an important distinction to bear in mind the next time you see another woman get harassed. It’s also important to remember that you have also simply been lucky, because there are always going to be people out there who will harass despite the risk, or because of it, and you should be prepared for that.

They’re kind of implying the guy next to Hawke is the Warden…

Why are you suddenly getting a bunch of anons asking that anyway? Are they trying to figure out if you’re a man or woman before calibrating their response to your posts?

wait though you’re not even making assumptions about the “entire gender” anon is almost definitely concerned with …???
