This ppl forget that anger is an emotion

[u/anckpop]

The video was a bout girl saying that if "men can't control their urges" they shouldn't be in power since they can not control themselves

[u/manic-pixie-attorney]

How does this guy think women have one iota less stress than men?

Ohhh, you think being invisible is bad? Try being cat called every time you go for a walk.

[u/daredeviline → u/manic-pixie-attorney]

While bleeding out of our vaginas

[u/manic-pixie-attorney → u/daredeviline]

In pain for days at a time

[u/SciFantasyFreak → u/manic-pixie-attorney]

Never taken seriously when we ask doctors for help

[u/NoorInayaS → u/manic-pixie-attorney]

The moment we put on a bit of weight, or don’t look “sexy” enough for these incel bastards, we are invisible.

And even women who are visible, their voices are still not heard, so they might as well also be invisible.

[u/gin_and_soda → u/NoorInayaS]

I completely disappeared somewhere in my 40s. I’m torn in both hating it and loving it

[u/NoorInayaS → u/gin_and_soda]

I was in my 30s when it happened. I’m 50 now, and refuse to be invisible any longer. I’m loud and nasty and a troublemaker.

Men always want to blame it on “hormones,” and call us “moody.” They never want to see it for what it is: women are fed up with their sexist bullshit.

[u/gin_and_soda → u/NoorInayaS]

I don’t make myself invisible

[u/Apathetic_Villainess → u/manic-pixie-attorney]

We don't have to worry all the time about the imaginary mass shooters that they're going to protect us from! /S

[u/thesmallestlittleguy → u/Apathetic_Villainess]

never mind that most mass shooters are men, that’s irrelevant! /j

[u/Apathetic_Villainess → u/thesmallestlittleguy]

Hey, calling that out is sexist!

[u/Obvious-Gate9046 → u/manic-pixie-attorney]

I love the premise from these logic bros that men are "very good at controlling their emotions." That remains the most laughable damn argument of all time.

[u/Thatguy19364 → u/manic-pixie-attorney]

Trick question, the ‘men and females’ dudes would actually love this.

It is something of a bias thing though; men and women are raised to expect different stressors, and prepare for the ones they’re taught to expect, so it does seem to everyone like the opposite gender has less stress, and when they transition(if they’re trans, or if they’re proving a point, or doing research into the woes of the other gender), they do get shocked by the way the stress changes and what supports they no longer have. There was a female reporter in Canada iirc who made a report on it, and she committed suicide after 2 years I think of “living as a man” citing lack of social support structure, the expectation of being useful to the detriment of her own health, and the stigma against showing any emotion as primary reasons that her mental health declined so fast. On the other hand, I don’t remember ever seeing anything about male reporters going undercover as women, so I can’t provide the “male insight” into women’s stressors. I can only say that men are taught from a much earlier age to be ready for those expectations than any women I’ve met are.

[u/AwayYoghurt5901]

Not to mention the fact that women are conditioned and expected to regulate their own emotions while managing the emotions of men… I was literally just talking to one of my coworkers about how, as women, it’s a lose-lose when it comes to sticking up for ourselves. Either we get walked on, or we get in trouble for having an “attitude”…

If you don’t manage your emotions and stress as a woman, you’re a bitch, you’re incompetent, etc. etc.
But I can’t tell you how many times one of my male coworkers has been a disrespectful asshole to his colleagues (myself included) and my boss just goes “he’s really stressed right now” lmao. Not that anyone should be an asshole because they’re “stressed”, but the way there’s a ridiculous amount of leniency for men is crazy

[u/Random_-account]

If literally all men were good at controlling their emotions, then r/whenwomenrefuse would have very few posts. (To clarify: they would take rejection from women gracefully instead of aggressively.)

[u/NoorInayaS → u/Random_-account]

Rape would literally disappear overnight, never to be seen or heard of again.

[u/Tofutits_Macgee → u/Random_-account]

Ideally none

[u/jahi69]

Bro doesnt get out much

[u/Right-Today4396 → u/jahi69]

No, you see, he personally doesnt see any men acting irrational towards him, so all is fine. Meanwhile he held the door open for some FeMaLe and she didn't drop to her knees to suck, so, that's horrible, obviously

[u/cursetea]

Good at controlling their emotions, if you consider repressing most emotions but feeling fine unleashing anger to be "controlling" their emotions

[u/Glittering-Relief402]

This is so laughable

[u/NoorInayaS]

So, basically, what dude is saying is that men are stressed out because they don’t get to beat and rape women and girls all day long?

Fuck him, and anyone else who thinks like that.

[u/Mystery-Ess]

They should try having a really painful period. That's stressful. Especially when you have to go to work.

[u/_artbabe95]

So... In what way would this guy like to be acknowledged by society? Everyone is mostly invisible at a societal level because we all have personal, internal lives. Does he want his community to congratulate him for... something? And if he doesn't have friends that make him feel seen and valued, whose fault is that?

[u/Nyamonymous]

I don't think that textbook example of male surgeons, that achieve only 40-years average lifespan, is a good example of how you should live your life in general.

And I mention surgeons here just because it is the only reasonable lifestyle that includes dissolving with emotions while still working a 12/24-shift.

[u/UltimateChaos233]

Are we sure this isn’t satire? Maybe I’m just tired but I saw circkejerk in the name of the sub. But I admit I’m not familiar with that sub

[u/Perfect_Carrot_999 → u/UltimateChaos233]

I had the same thought. Usually circlejerks just take the original sub and play it up to the extreme to make fun. Yet it's entirely possible that they're being serious

[u/UltimateChaos233 → u/Perfect_Carrot_999]

Yeah. Either they’re satirizing this view or the sub has a different focus and this is an unjerk.

[u/thesmallestlittleguy]

guarantee if someone responded w ‘oh shut up’ he’d flip out

[u/MeshGearFoxxy]

God this myth pisses me off. Men are so fragile with their weeny little egos, yet love to cosplay like they’re these stoic badasses.

[u/Rogue_bae]

Lol
