I am a young woman and I have noticed in the past two years since Andrew Tate got popular that misogyny and incel content online has been on the rise. My ex always felt like being a woman was "life on easy mode" and whenever I read comments on redpill videos they always say how privileged us women are. I feel like males are envious of us because we control access to sex and we appear on the outside that we are happy and carefree with life.
The other day on reddit I came across a post from a young man who was struggling with incel thoughts. I wanted to help him as I was on a long train journey and bored. He started out as a rational person explaining his thoughts. He believed that women had more privileges and that our lives are easier than theirs. I then told him that our lives aren't easy and because of that, is why he is single. He disagreed and said it's his looks. It was becoming exhausting. I told him women have to fear for our safety, do the majority of household chores, and aren't respected unlike men. His response led to me blocking him as I am sure you can guess what his reaction to that was.
My younger brother sadly has taken on some misogyny from social media. He is 16 years old and watches redpill content and says women bring nothing to the table. My brother was such a nice boy but the last 6 months he has turned into a misogynist due to these content creators. It's sad to see as before redpill content he said he wanted to look after and provide his future wife and have children whereas now he says he wants to be single and childfree because modern women are toxic and have high body counts.
I don't understand why men get such toxic views and believe in female privilege in a world that literally caters for them. In mens eyes perhaps things were better for them when they used and abused women for centuries through the patriarchy and now they have noticed that their power is slipping and we have more freedoms. However despite things going to a more equal way between men and women in society, us women are still oppressed and it is a mans world. Yet scrotes believe life is so hard and women are privileged. I hate the injustice towards us that privileged men cannot see their privilege and project it onto us.
For most young men, their world has consisted of: Trump, pandemic, Andrew Tate. There's no positive male role models to balance out this trash. All they care about is money and sex.
They think we live on easy mode because their only criteria is easy access to sex. That's all. They don't understand that the "privilege" women have is actually societal vulnerability. Free drinks at the club? That's because men want to get you drunk and have sex with you. That's not a gift. But to them, it is.
Men don’t understand sexual violence, so they view the world through “the more sex, the better.” Women can easily have infinite amount of sex because almost all men are almost always willing.
So incel logic views women as having an effortless life because they don’t need to expend effort on obtaining sex.
What this utterly ignores is all the effort women have to expend on simply surviving in a misogynistic world. The core truth that incels turn a blind eye to is that women are often beaten, raped, or killed in romantic or sexual circumstances, so we naturally don’t frame our lives around having maximum sexual activity, but rather safeguarding our own safety.
Women aren't "privileged" just because they can get access to an abundance of low quality dangerous sex from strange men.
I mean that's like saying a person is privileged because they got access to an endless supply of bad tasting food full of tapeworms.
Like at least they can get food!
Why don't they want to eat?
they project. they want sex all the time and think we can get sex anytime we want - to them that's a huge privilege. they think we are gold diggers because we prefer men who provide. they are the gold diggers, sex diggers, emotional labour diggers, so they think that's what we are too.
they are incapable of understanding the differences in our experiences because they don't view us as people. so anything we have is privilege in their minds.
and please, don't fall for the empathy trap. next time you feel bored and benevolent, donate money to a feminist cause or help a female friend, or even a female stranger online. but do not waste your time with men.
With regard to the redpill content your brother is watching, could you talk to your parents about it in an effort to get him to stop? He's unlikely to listen to you because you, as his sister, don't have the authority of a parent but he might listen to your parents.
It's a lie they tell themselves for the following reasons
1) it gives them the excuse to avoid empathising with women (acknowledging that we have problems would mean having to acknowledge that most of those problems arecaused by men)
2) It allows them to justify devaluing our labor
They only care about sex, and since consent exists they think we're somehow a medieval ruler gatekeeping their only life purpose.
I do think the one sole privilege we have as females is the ability to throw your hands up and walk away from a challenge of aggression without it destroying you socially. We don't have to assert our dominance almost ever. I can imagine that's gotta be exhausting for men. But if you would call this a "privilege" of course it only exist because
Men think almost exclusively in terms of "dominance" and "subordination"
Women are already the lowest of the low in status so we don't "lose" anything by staying at the bottom
It's always projection. Woman is the scapegoat of mankind because we are proximal to them, and we aren't aggressive douchebags, AND we have things they want. It's all of those things.
Don’t bother with these guys. They are the type to storm a female only networking/career event, think that work in pornography is empowering, and think that women have it easy because they can use their body to get what they want. In reality, these guys are jealous of women because they aren’t female themselves which is why obsess over our bodies and our gender.
A scrote manager said it was "privilege and excuse" for another worker to call off becuz of her cramps, and "joked" that women who have abortions are 304s
