I'm getting really sick of leftist social media like Bluesky just being about being another echo chamber and completely unaware of it because "we're the good politics!"
The sentiment that men are only men if they're associated with the right has been out in full swing for a few years now and it's just tiring.
Harris didn't win because men will never accept a woman president. Except all the men who voted for her, they don't count, the left gets told it has a problem with men all the time and deflects by saying that it's men who have the problem by going to the right and supporting them.
Never, not once, are men acknowledged for supporting leftist beliefs or voting for the party, and it's even looked down upon when they ask for acknowledgement, like it's entitlement while men on the right live rent free in the heads of the leftist base.
Men get shit on for being asked to be recognized as men on the left but that identity is freely given to men on the right, they don't have to ask to be acknowledged or recognized because they're doing what is expected by being the bad guys.
Straight men in particular, you'll be recognized as a man on the left if you're gay because it assures everyone who isn't a man you don't want anything from them.
Like for fuck's sake the right is abhorrent and shames women and LBGTQ people for their existence I don't know how the left got to this point of also saying "you're not really a man unless you hate women" and not realizing they're perpetuating the same bullshit.
Like I don't hate women for being women, but I fucking hate when people assert "all men just hate women" because it's dumb shit gender essentialism that is just dismissing anything a guy might say in response that isn't telling the speaker to go fuck themselves.
Yeah of course the right is doing better with men, they aren't shaming them for existing and only acknowledging them as being pieces of shit.
It's frustrating because there's days where I want to say fuck it and go join the other side and I think the left actually wants that more than the right does because they validate men who do it and men who stick with the left? "Yeah whatever do you want a medal?"
How about to be recognized as the gender I identify as and a human being? Apparently too much to ask when it's a man.
Just don't take statements like that personally. Majority of my friends are guys and we all acknowledge that we've met many other guys (unfortunately) who fall into the category of "toxic men".
It's annoying if every time someone wants to make a statement about a group of people they need to specify that they don't mean the group in it's entirety. Eg. queer men have a problem with hookup culture. The average queer man will not be offended if they acknowledge that this is indeed a problem in the community- regardless of if I am part of said problem or not.
On the other hand I can understand why seeing such statements could be upsetting if you consider being a man a core part of your identity. The best way to prevent comments and blanket statements like these, is to reduce the rate at which the sort of situations that lead to them occur like you said. Because just like you're venting right now, they're probably just venting their frustrations as well. It's honestly very concerning how much nonsense women and especially girls go through.
Long story short, unfortunately this is an issue you're just going to have to deal with until the world figures out some way to dismantle the patriarchy. At least majority of these statements are online so it might be easier to ignore them 🤷♂️
