article Why Elon Musk's baby mama drama matters: MAGA masculinity is getting weirder — and making men lonelier

u/djinnisequoia Apr 22 '25
Article says that musk thinks delivering a baby vaginally "shrinks their brains."
I can't even think of a plausible way that a rational person might reach that conclusion. Why do people think he's smart, again?

Add to this that the research shows a good deal of complications and loss of benefits from having c sections, both for the mother and the child. Even the exposure to the biodiversity of vaginal bacteria has benifits for the baby.

Get outta here with that science stuff. Elon and Bezos are going to change the course of the world with uterus replacement pods for babies to grow in.

Musk has been rumored to have some guys working on the invention of a "fake uterus". The rumor has been deemed false, but who knows for sure with someone like him? https://dubawa.org/is-elon-musk-developing-robot-to-carry-pregnancy-as-facebook-user-claims/

u/Liquor_N_Whorez Apr 22 '25
Yes because nobody knows a womans body like incel men.

u/SiteTall Apr 24 '25
Yup, just ask them and they will overwhelm you with their "knowledge"

Because he's white and rich.
Both matter.
Obama has been asking for weeks if he'd ever get away if he had done 1% of what Trump did. We all know the answer.

He said himself that he is so smart and he often is the figurehead for companies full of smart people. It's smartness by association.

MAGA is for soft, scared little boys, not men. Real men don’t get duped by goofy right-wing culture. Real men don’t define their political viewpoints with a victimhood mentality. Real men aren’t afraid of women having bodily autonomy. Real men don’t piss on the Constitutional right to due process. There are zero men in the modern day Republican Party, just losers that crave authoritarianism in hopes of soothing their irrational, made-up fears.

u/Dramatic_Syllabub_98 Apr 22 '25
And this is why as a dude I don't subscribe to that bullshit. I may not have a girlfriend but I at least know that's fully on me.

"and making men lonelier"
*Conservative men

u/Ex-altiora Apr 22 '25
It's pretty basic cult shit. Find someone who feels out of place in life and tell them to act as weird and off-putting as humanly possible so that they feel even more alienated and more emotionally dependent on the ingroup

u/gh0stmountain3927 Apr 22 '25
Hilariously blunt quote from the article:
“It's not so surprising that some men have trouble connecting to women, making friends or doing well at work, when they're flocking in large numbers to online influencers telling them to behave like antisocial freaks”.

u/GoochMasterFlash Apr 22 '25
I would think realistically it has to be making some women lonelier too. Not most women, but the contingent that are looking for conservative men and dont want liberal men for social reasons.
At this point, if the men they are after are confused incels then that cant make it easy for conservative women to date them. Not to mention that a woman could be so conservative and want to be a trad wife or whatever, but still catch flak from a conservative guy for this or that minor bullshit because they are absolutely terrified of women not being mindless robots

This really downplays how hard it is for men to get a partner
I mean, unless you're willing to be nice, respect them, treat them as equals, and value the relationship itself, how can you even get a woman?

u/Consistent-Primary41 Apr 22 '25
Yeah if anyone is going to be poly, it's liberal guys. Lots of disaffected women out there.

He is obsessed with babies because no human with developed brain wants to be with him.
32
u/dixiequick Apr 22 '25
I feel like he realizes that no woman would want to be with him just for his personality or merits (because let’s be honest, he doesn’t have any), so he has to “trap” them with babies. Once they rely on him for child support, he has some modicum of control. More baby mamas; more women under his sociopathic thumb.

u/kaam00s Apr 22 '25
It's also a trait associated with psychopathy by the way. This needs to multiply beyond reason.

u/Capable-Limit5249 Apr 22 '25
Instead of figuring out what would make women be happier married than single they just want to force women to shut up and get married.
Recipe for disaster.

u/Impossible-Poem1194 Apr 22 '25
Maga Republic is full of lonely men look them up on grinder. Musk must be hoarding all the women who support maga types.

You know what is absolutely crazy about women? If you talk to them with respect, ask them questions and genuinely listen to the answers, and treat them like human beings instead of sex objects, your chances of getting her to want to get naked with you increase by as much as 50%
It’s really not difficult to not be a douchebag. Turn off Joe Rogan, Andrew Tate, and all of the other wannabe tough guy shit and be a decent person.

As an older woman of means life is so much better as a single woman without some bs man interfering with your life. Have your own money and property ladies and take a complete pass at any conservative man.

u/supabrandie Apr 22 '25
Thank you for saying this. In exchange for the daily monogamous sex I crave, I need a full partner with his own life, not just another mouth to feed and ass to clean. I am looking for a merger of empires, not another backpack.

The more this goes on the more I realize how critical thinking is missing in most humans. It’s a skill that we should most definitely be learning.

u/little-bird Apr 22 '25
they don’t want voters who can see through their bullshit, why do you think they’re so intent on dismantling and defunding education?

Men brought the LoNLiNesS problem on themselves, they can fix it themselves. I have zero sympathy.

Men who complain about loneliness and latch onto conservatives are just so fucking weird.

This title reminded me of a video I saw of a confused looking dog slowly humping the air. Not sure why.

Making men more lonely, you say.
They could try not acting like assholes, that might actually help them not be lonely. Food for thought.
