This will not change anytime soon; the "women are wonderful" talk is as relevant as it has ever been.

Regardless of the criteria you choose to establish a ranking, males dominate the bottom of that ranking.

We are number one on the rankings of type of people most likely to take over a country by force. Or did something change since I last saw the news?

  • You won't see men quietly building society in the news or in toxic internet communities (specifically the anti male ones). That's what you're missing.

    The force needed to stab someone is the same force needed to hammer nails or lift 30kg bags. If you fear the former then you also don't deserve the latter.

    • In a world where men are depressed and without direction, the world suffers and then dies. Birthrates drop and wars rage. Society spins to pieces.

      A wise feminist would be doing everything she could to create a world of strong men who lead compassion. A world of confused, frustrated men will never be safe or sustainable.

You don't understand much if you think that to fight the lack of mentors for men, you have to put down women. It's completely orthogonal.

People in power want you to have this "I don't have what I want because this other minority takes it from me", but it's simply wrong, even though this argument seems to capture the mind of simple-minded people.

We don't have what we want because we're in a ruthless capitalist society, directed by stupidoes like Trump and Musk

    Knee-jerk much? How on earth did you get "put down women" from what I wrote?

    > People in power want you to have this "I don't have what I want because this other minority takes it from me", but it's simply wrong, even though this argument seems to capture the mind of simple-minded people.

    Where did you read that in the tiny little snippet I wrote?

    Let me be clear, so that there is no misunderstanding -

    1. Men dominate the bottom of almost every ranking. This is just another ranking.

    Maybe before we try to fix this specific ranking, we should be asking ourselves why men are at the bottom in every ranking.

    The reverse of this has been what's been dominating for a decade. Anything pro-men (or even just neutral) can be accused of being anti-woman, which creates a chilling effect as female-dominated HR departments can make life very difficult for men looking to provide for their families.

    • Absolutely untrue. Feminism has NEVER been against men. Only people who half-ass reading about feminism, and rely too much on stupid far-right videos on TikTok believe that

    • Discrimination along protected attributes such as gender would be highly illegal though, so no doubt you’d have tons of evidence to present beyond “gossipy HR ladies”.

    For sure you don't have to put women as a whole down. But society and media these days are generally dominated by the most toxic voices. Toxic feminism is a big issue, that's what we have to put down for this particular purpose.
