I was listening to the most recent episode of the podcast today, and Reaux said “We’re not black pill, we believe men can change”.
I theoretically believe men can collectively change too, so I guess that would not qualify me as black pill. However the issue is that I don’t believe they will change en masse, in my lifetime (I want to emphasize it is my belief, and as I do not consider this a hard fact, am open to being wrong). So what then does this make me?
I believe some men will change. ie a friend sent me something called The Evolving Man podcast, which gave me some faith. But I am still struggling to believe they will be incentivized to change enough to where the majority of healthy women who want a healthy man in their lives, will have one in my lifetime.
Does anyone else have optimistic evidence to prove otherwise?
I don't think we should worry about labels . A lot of people on here call themselves "radfem". I've never even bothered looking up exactly what that means, but even if it fits me to a T I won't be using it. I also don't identify as liberal or conservative - there is not one party that I fully agree with. I'm just me.
I can see that you have internalised a global issue which has impacted your life tremendously. These are mere friendly advices based on the experiences and observations of women you don’t even know personally. How about not making everything you hear gospel?
Pick and choose according to your maximum benefit and don’t be bothered by podcasts. The advice catered to a lvm will not apply to you for example.
You don’t have to deal with men en masse at all either, unless your life will be a version of some pop star or god forbid Amber Heard. You just deal with men that are good enough for you. That’s it. Even psychos would pick and choose their victim carefully so I dunno what’s the obsession with big words and obediently following an idealism..
It's hard to come up with hard evidence that men as a whole are getting better or worse. Many data points suggests they are getting worse, but I also have anecdotal evidence of some getting better or at least I'm coming across better ones. Globally, misogyny is probably still so strong that it impacts most women's lives significantly. Not all of us are going to find refuge from that in a relationship, our only safe spaces might be family or (female) friends. I do feel I am exceptionally lucky to be with a man who doesn't add to the burden and actually relieves it. Even men who are decent overall will come with their own grievances that you just wouldn't have without them. Finding a man who really does add a lot of value to your life remains hard. That said, I do feel like most people in general are not going to be high value.
Wife beaters can change too but I'm not going to praise them for it. They are still a red flag. like a former misogynist. They shouldn't be seen as good men for changing. They are garbage that stinks a little less than the rest of the trash.
I don't think most men change at all. I don't think they actually want to. It's rare to find a man who wants to and then does it. Maximum female benefit is recognizing that a lot of them absolutely won't change and we can't make them anyway, so we shouldn't waste our time, energy, money, or safety on doing so. Level yourself. He can try to meet your level or begone.
Not that they were great to begin with, but I feel like women are progressing, men are regressing. More and more women are thriving in their careers and hobbies and living for themselves. It used to be that men were expected to know how to perform jobs like fixing things around the house, patching a hole on the wall, installing an electric outlet, fixing the car, etc. which young men are rarely able to do. They're also performing poorly in their career and education.
I think one day they'll have to play catch up because more and more women are shying away from marriage and motherhood. As of right now, though, I see little reason for women to want to be with a man.
i kind of don’t, sadly.
PornHub is the 3rd largest global tech company, according to Laila Mickelwaite:
men as a class are horrific. i’m starting to lose hope.
Men do not change without being FORCED to not fuck teenagers and beat women up. Men have no reason to change. I'm blackpill here. We need to not have as many sons as we're having.
