In my opinion pedophilia will never go away I think we should be more understanding and supportive to those of us that are non acting pedophiles

It should be accepted and included in LBGT

If you are not really attractive and you don't make lot of money, dating is just too much of work for men. Why do you have go through that, genuinely? You need to pay for dates, to look always good, for gifts, just to maybe attract someone. Just maybe. I think staying alone isn't that bad if you have some hobbies.

I am a woman, and I am of the opinion that people should not have children with someone they don’t see a future with. I don’t think I will ever understand a woman that would have a child with a man they do not really know/see themselves having a future with. I understand of course that sometimes things just don’t work out but this is mostly people that birth children from one night stands. I strongly believe you should only have a child with someone you can see yourself spending your entire life with. I myself come from a broken home and have lived through the struggle of having parents that do not like each other at all, travelling between both houses, and the way it affects you as a child.

I also understand some women are very strongly against abortion, but for me, the benefits outweigh raising a child from a stranger and the effect that has on the child.

A lot of women keep repeating the slogan “misogyny kills but misandry only irritates” as if it’s some deep philosophical truth, but the logic collapses the moment you look at real‑world outcomes. You can’t compare physical harm to emotional annoyance and pretend that proves anything about gender, especially when statistics show that men are murdered at higher rates and are more often victims of violent crime. That already contradicts the idea that only misogyny leads to lethal consequences.

Misandry also isn’t harmless. False accusations, biased assumptions, and situations where a woman pretends she was assaulted or frames a man for something he didn’t do can destroy his reputation, career, and mental health. Some men have taken their own lives after losing everything. That isn’t irritation. That is real damage.

There are even extreme cases, like a woman openly admitting she aborted her baby solely because it was a boy, saying she didn’t want to “raise a rapist.” That shows how prejudice can twist someone’s thinking into harming an innocent life. A boy isn’t born evil. If you raise him with care and guidance, he won’t magically turn out bad just because he’s male.

The point is simple. Both misogyny and misandry can cause real harm, and pretending one kills while the other merely annoys is disgusting.

First of all, I am a person of color (asian) and an immigrant. I was raised in a country where racism isn't really much of an issue. Moving to the US, based on TVs and Medias, I would assume that the most racist thing you'd hear would come from white people.

I was wrong.

I've encountered a lot of people who would automatically assume somebody is racist cuz he/she is white. Most of these people are black.

Somebody once came up to me in desk (i work as front desk in hotel) and said "there's too much white people here and it's making me nervous" Like?????????

I've personally argued with people who would insist that "You can't be racist if they're white" No. That's just plain dumb. Racism is prejudice based on inherited traits or ethnic background. These people who I argued with were black and latin origin.

One time I was talking to a friend of mine, who's white, and she's literally self hating. Insinuating that the whole united states wouldn't be what it is now if it wasn't because of *insert minority group* That the whole US is based on a certain culture of a minority group and that everything else was copied by white people.

One time I met this new asian guy. He's really nice and all talking about his move to Seattle. I asked him how's the new place and his first sentence was "Theres too much white people". Like bro? Why tf would u think like that? And so what? Racism is everywhere. The very fact that you insinuate that these group of people would be against you just because u're asian makes you racist.

A workmate of mine asked me why I love colorado so much since there's too many white people there according to her. WHY IS THIS EVEN AN ISSUE????

An acquaintance of mine (works as a massage therapist) he didn't feel welcomed when he went to a white family's house. When I asked why he said "I just think they're racist cuz I'm Arabic" 💀

To be fair, I've had my fair share of experience being profiled by a white dude. Racism is everywhere. But that didn't make me think every single one of them is racist. I really hate when people automatically assume something just because someone is white.

Now social media is not helping with this matter. It's ok to be proud asian, proud mexican, proud etc. But when a white person is proud for who she/he is, the internet automatically crucify them and ask for an apology.

This is just so dumb.

Incel just mean's a dude who’s too repulsive or incompetent to get/achieve a romantic partner. Reddit is the weirdest, creepiest, cadre of weirdos in the world -- and this place dramatically leans left.

The goal post of "you have to hate women in order to be an incel" were moved just so Reddit could use the term to insult other people and then pretend that it doesn't apply to them. But it's literally just one anti-social virgin calling another anti-social virgin an incel.

If Reddit is the hub for inceldom -- then by default it means there are more liberal incels than conservative ones...at least on this website.

Before you even mention January 6th just know that any weekend in Chicago is more violent chaotic than that day ever could have been.

The democrat party let a multiple-time arrested murderer go just because he was black. Which ended up causing the death of Iryna Zaruska. Her blood is on the left’s hands as much as the man’s who killed her.

Liberals cheered and celebrated when a man with a wife and children was shot in the neck and are still treating it like a joke to this day with the “kirkification” and “Ow, my neck” GIFS and the “in the end, he leaned left” jokes. I even saw people dress up as a Charlie Kirk with a bloody neck for Halloween along with a drag queen dancing with red ribbons coming out of the neck. What do you think his kids are going to think when they grow up and see all these horrible things being said about their father?

I’ve seen drawings, graphic design posters and violent paintings saying “Kill your local ICE agent” and “Speak their language” written in blood. And an ICE agent with a bullet hole in his head.

I’ve seen videos of black ICE agents being called the N word by a group of white protesters. Along with being thrown threats.

I saw a video the other day about some lady screaming in her car about: “I don’t want impeachment, I want them hung from their ankles and gutted from groin to chain.”

After Trump’s 1st, 2nd, and 3rd assassination attempt, I saw posts of people cheering, and tweets saying “next time don’t miss”. As a conservative, I don’t love the guy either but wishing death upon someone is just as bad as murdering them. And murder is never okay.

I’m going to get personal here now…

I’ve lost several left-leaning friends after they realized I was conservative, even though I knew they were the opposite side well before then. And they called me stuff like “Nazi”, “KKK” and “Boot-Licker” on their way out, one of them even told me that they hope I get “Kirked”.

I am often called names after debating liberals online and even tossed death threats from time to time.

I am willing to debate anyone on this topic.

The argument people use for not raising the minimum wage doesn't make sense to me.

They are saying if you raise the miminum wage to reflect the current cost of living you will force employers to fire more workers. In order to maintain jobs they must allow employers to keep paying people below the standard of living.

So...more workers with inadequate amount of pay vs less workers making adequate amount of pay.

The pay raise is framed as bad for the workers when it's really bad for the companies. If companies can't get a lot of workers to do the same job for less money then they can't grow as large as they are. If they aren't so large this leaves room for other companies to grow and hire their own employees. Thus seems like one of the ways we should be regulating the size of these huge companies that become so powerful they become the regulators and governors of society.

But this also unfairly shifts the problem of the rising costs of living into the worker. They are basically saying that the worker must absorb the pitfalls of this situation when they are not the cause of the situation. Who or what is responsible for the current rise in costs of living? I would argue a conglomerate of institutions, businesses, and industries- none of which involve the worker. But this argument frames and demonizes the worker for asking for FAIR PAY. Meanwhile the people causing the problem ls get richer.

You can’t talk about male pain in public without it instantly being put on trial.

Not listened to. Not empathized with. Put on trial.

A man opens up about depression, severe pain from losing meaningful access to his children after separation, the most important relationship in his life reduced to alternate weekends and video calls. The response isn’t compassion. It’s:

“Divorced dad energy.”

Then come the statistics. The lectures. “Well fathers don’t fight for custody anyway.” “Women have it worse.” “Maybe you were a bad husband.”

No evidence but constructing a villain arc out of thin air because a man admitted he’s hurting.

A man says he’s severely depressed about dating while being extremely short, genuinely 5’3 or under, and people immediately jump to:

“Short man energy.” “Angry bitter manlet.” “Napoleon complex.”

Apparently there is no possible reality where constant rejection, ridicule, and invisibility based on physical traits could affect someone psychologically.

No, the approved narrative is that he must secretly hate women. His personality must be defective. His suffering is treated as evidence against him. Altenative cases proposed about bigger women being the ones truely suffering in society.

No empathy. Just moral condemnation.

A man talks about crushing loneliness, isolation, lack of intimacy, lack of purpose, and feeling emotionally disposable in society and he gets branded an “incel”.

The word itself has basically become: “male suffering we don’t feel like humanizing.”

And the second men try discussing any of this, the conversation gets immediately rerouted into:

why women have it worse

why men caused their own problems

why male vulnerability is secretly manipulation

why discussing men at all is somehow anti-woman

Everything becomes a gender war except the actual issues being raised.

People constantly say: “Men should open up more.” But what they really mean is: “Men should open up in ways that feel comfy to my anti-men narrative.”

Not every discussion about mens suffering has to become a courtroom defense against accusations of misogyny.

Sometimes a human being is just suffering.

Maybe it’s just me— but I firmly believe that every school in the US should teach both Boys and Girls Home studies. Let me explain: I believe that starting in Middle school they should dedicate a class to teaching them about hygiene + small house duties (ex: cleaning dishes, sweeping, vacuuming, knowing how to build small IKEA furniture.) I believe it would expand their minds when it comes to direction following and communication— they could also be directed how to do it properly instead of half a**ing it. Then I believe once they’re in high school, it comes to bigger responsibilities again with hygiene and home duties (lawn mowing, cooking, cleaning, and how to properly do laundry.)

I also believe schools should bring back sex Education and Child development. 🤷🏼‍♀️

With hygiene I mean they should learn about ingredients for products— what they should use and not use. I believe school districts to SHOULD provide small samples for the hygiene classes. How they should properly take care of their bodies instead of believing a 72 hour deodorant only has to be used once….

Because they're lowkey seeking male validation disguised as feminist empowerment or claiming it's "for the girls"

I know I'm going to be called misogynistic for this, but I'm not talking about the girls who post photos sometimes of themselves that show off their body because I support it and give likes, but if it's the main content you're posting on your social media, and you have post that have 3-4 slides of just your 🍒 and 🍑 out... and constantly... sorry, you're seeking male validation disguised as female empowerment, I don't care how you try to spin it or say it's because you're just confident or it's for the girls, it's not. I see right through that.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, and I’m convinced that middle school (roughly ages 11–14) is the absolute epicenter of bullying.

It’s the perfect storm: kids are going through massive hormonal shifts, trying to establish social hierarchies, and are desperately terrified of being "different" or "outcast." Elementary schoolers are often too young to understand how to be truly malicious, and by high school, most people have either matured or at least learned to keep their toxicity somewhat contained. But middle school? It’s pure, unfiltered social survival of the fittest.

It feels like a period where the cruelty is most experimental, most personal, and most pervasive.

What do you think?

Was middle school the worst time for you, or did you find high school or elementary school to be more brutal?

Do you think the "middle school mean girl/bully" stereotype is accurate, or is it just a byproduct of that specific developmental stage?

If you experienced bullying during these years, what was the defining factor that made it so intense?

I’m looking to hear your experiences—whether you were the victim, the observer, or (if you're being honest) maybe even someone who participated in that culture. Let's talk about why these years seem to be such a nightmare for so many people.

What has been your personal experience with the timeline of bullying during your school years—do you agree that middle school stands out as the peak, or was your experience different?

You can’t be asexual and gay/ lesbian / bi/ straight

Idk why people keep saying this. If you’re asexual that’s all well and good do you, but you can’t have another sexuality and be asexual. I’m sorry youre not gay because you are a boy who would cuddle a boy but wouldn’t have any sexual contact with him.

Like seriously guys, do you really think that autistic women don’t experience the same struggles that you guys do?

The difference is in the way that our society is structured to accommodate men & women during their youthful years.

Boys are often left to socialize amongst themselves, and forge their own way. Where as girls are introduced to other girls, and encouraged to socialize more in groups.

Essentially, an autistic boy left to his own device just stays inside and plays video games. But an autistic girl is introduced to other girls, whom then invite said girl out of the house.

Boys are encouraged to be independent, and girls are encouraged to follow the group.

Within regular development, this has its pros and cons, with cons usually falling upon the girls; as they’re shunned for being strong independent leaders. However, in autistic development it’s the boys whom feel the “cons” as they never learn to properly socialize, and get stuck in a state of “arrested development”

So, if most women with autism appear to be living fairly normal lives in comparison to the men, particularly when it comes to forging relationships…then what does that tell you?

It should tell you that the proverbial “cure” for autism dwindles down to simply learning how to socialize.

Now granted women with autism have a strong head start on the men, but it doesn’t mean that they’re “cooked” — it’s never too late to learn.

These men need to throwaway their game consoles & anime body pillows. They just need to start going outside, and making an effort to talk to people.

That’s it. It’s not rocket science.

Unfortunately, our world is very abelist, and it’s full of bad actors wishing to take advantage of people with vulnerabilities. Reddit is one of the most dangerous places for vulnerable individuals, as it takes advantage of their various struggles in order to radicalize them for nefarious purposes.

There is nothing more ableist than getting a group of like minded people into a bubble, and then constantly validating eachother’s fears, and feelings oh hopelessness.

This leads to incel communities (which thrive on Reddit) and delude vulnerable young men into actually believing that their autism has doomed them to a life of inceldom. That there is nothing that they can ever do in order to change their current predicaments, because their autism is a perpetual trait.

But this is wrong. If it wasn’t, then there would be a lot oh women living within these communities. But there aren’t, because autistic women don’t get prayed upon in this manner, because their lives (as it relates to sex and relationships) are relatively on par with that of general societal expectations.

TLDR; if you are an incel then stop complaining on the internet, and go touch grass more often.

He has repeatedly made references to men and how good they look. He's made unprompted references to Arnold Palmer's dick size. He's said male pilots are so hot, they couldn't be in movies because no one would believe it. One of his favorite praises for men he likes is that they are good looking. He's obsessed with the LGBTQ community.

I don't see many media outlets covering this or talking about it, despite him clearly saying these things in tons of interviews and rallies. The obvious exception is the Arnold Palmer comments.

No one is exactly the same, but I anecdotally notice that he shares a lot of similarities with closeted gay men I've known throughout my life.

Maybe he's just mad because he comes from a time when it wasn't as socially accepted as today, and he feels like he can't live his truth, so it only comes out in little moments. Maybe he feels pressure to uphold a version of himself that isn't entirely true, which is why he's got such a penchant for lying.

Trump is clearly attracted to at least some guys. Trump is at least a little bit gay. And that's fine. Maybe addressing his own homosexual tendencies with self-care would make him less angry all the time.

Note: Hard to find clips and examples because of aforementioned media outlets not covering it, but his story about flying in the dark in the Rogan interview is a prime example. Guy spent an awfully long time, unprompted, talking about how hot his pilots were. Go check that out if you're looking for what I mean.
