but the Democrats need to listen and appeal to them more
“calling me evil for my immutable characteristics”
almost the exact same phrase as in that “im a man who escaped the alt-right pipeline except i obviously didn’t, and it’s so hard for me to support marginalized people because leftists are so misandrist” post that this site is currently slobbering over
One of the many, many reasons I have less than zero sympathy for these men is that what they purport to want, their “birthright” – heterosexual sex with women – has literally never been easier to obtain at any point whatsoever in U.S. history (or, indeed, the history of many countries, but right now we’re talking about U.S. politics).
A straight man has more access to heterosexual sex than ever! The world is his symbolically yonic oyster!
There are abundant dating and hookup apps, bars, and other physical and virtual spaces used for finding a mate.
Laws governing sexual behavior between consenting adults are more lenient than ever (for now, no thanks to the fascists you voted for) and less constrained by social stigma than ever. Safe, effective birth control is widely available, and the risk of unintended pregnancy, while never zero, is lower than ever (again, for now, no thanks to the fascists you voted for).
Like. If your great-great-grandpa wanted to get laid, he might have had to get married. Or hire a professional. You don’t have to do any of that!
There are a multitude of horny straight women with minimal standards! You don’t have to be rich or handsome or anything! All you have to do is put yourself out there and not be actively repellent to the women you want to have sex with.
And you won’t do that! Because you don’t think you should have to meet that absolute bare minimum threshold.
The bar isn’t even on the ground; it’s helpfully buried underground so no one will trip on it! And you show up with an excavator!
You don’t actually want sex with women! If you wanted that, you could have it. But that’s not what you want.
You want a Barbie-shaped virgin who will have sex with you and only you the moment she meets you, and will be forever loyal to you, while also leaving you free to have sex with other Barbie-shaped virgins who will also be forever loyal to you, and who will never “trap” you with pregnancy, but also will willingly birth and raise your children with no expectation of any input from you, and also cook and clean for you while you play video games featuring Barbie-shaped pixelated cartoon women and throw a tantrum if one of them has pores.
That doesn’t exist. That has never existed. That will never exist. So you became a fascist about it.
I will not and will never pretend that this is in any way rooted in “valid concerns” or need for “better outreach” or those mean nasty feminists said “men suck” so now you’re a misogynist fascist.
