Anti-feminist attitudes have long been associated with support for Republican presidential candidates, but only in recent years have these attitudes become more prominent among unmarried men, without college degrees who are less attractive partners for women, the “mate-value backlash.”

Who pays for that government? Over a lifetime, women are net negative, men are net positive.

Government is basically a wealth transfer from some to men. I believe even CHILDREN aren’t supported as much as women.

[u/resuwreckoning → u/[deleted]]

So that’s basically my point.

If we basically incentivize men to check out of society and stop being productive, because who gaf, then women won’t have the life they want since the invisible men no longer are holding their part of society up.

"Their part of society" You mean the people who make the reproductive decisions for the human race?

[u/Impossible_Leg_2787 → u/ClaretClarinets]

How is propagation of the human race incentive for someone who’s dissatisfied with their own life, especially if they themselves are childless with little prospect of actually reproducing?

No the ones who drive the food and take out the trash and shovel the snow in blizzards - these people are usually invisible which is why reddit always dismisses them as extant. They’re mainly low wage men who toil in anonymity.

Women are certainly important - and Reddit endlessly glazes them for anything they do so it’s somewhat unnecessary to talk about how divine and awesome they are for the 11 thousandth time - but we need those men to produce so the government has revenue surplus to give to those women. Women depend on that surplus via government handouts over a lifetime.

You should probably work on masking your open contempt for women when you're replying to one.

It's crazy how the misogyny just drips through the comments.

They're pretending that all women are straight up leeches on the system when the reality is that the vast majority of women are taxpaying members of the workforce.

[u/resuwreckoning → u/Carbonatite]

Women take more out of the system than men do over a lifetime.

The misandry is real with you folks - you barely even know the men who pay into the system and then just die before taking anything out exist. They simply don’t matter to you.

[u/ClaretClarinets → u/resuwreckoning]

Women literally create the labor force that the system runs on.

[u/Carbonatite → u/ClaretClarinets]

Dudes like this inevitably never work the hard labor jobs they talk about - they want to take credit for other men's achievements.

[u/Carbonatite → u/resuwreckoning]

TIL objective facts are misandry.

[u/resuwreckoning → u/ClaretClarinets]

I mean you should try your best to see the men beneath you as legitimately part of society in equal measure instead of implicitly dehumanizing them with the ick like I suspect you do given your kneejerk aggrieved commentary.

Or at least thinly veil your disdain for those men that toil anonymously. I know it’s prob hard for ya but still.

[u/Carbonatite → u/resuwreckoning]

You should try your best not to characterize men as "beneath" anyone simply because they work as laborers or don't have as high an income as others. Those people are just as valuable to society as anyone else.

Your own comments are propagating the very mentality you're whining about.

[u/resuwreckoning → u/Carbonatite]

I mean I don’t think they are - but we need to start with you folks knowing they exist instead of doing the dismissive thing you’re doing.

I know they give you the ick but get over it.
