[CW: Suicide] is making fun of the male suicide rate based or cringe (real question)
I know joking around about men being 90% awful is all fun and games but this post and screenshots of it have been going around twitter a lot and i need the fine people on chapo dot chat to tell me if this is based or cringe thank you
Btw i am a guy
You're viewing a single thread.
imo "cringe" isn't a harsh enough word for it, it's actively evil
to expound on this:
while there are plenty of men who should die, they are by-and-large not the ones actually killing themselves. people commit suicide because of alienation. poor people commit suicide at much higher rates. LGBT people commit suicide at much higher rates. do you know what percentage of "male suicides" are actually trans women? me neither. nobody does or ever will
the true beneficiaries of patriarchy, the rich ghouls, men with actual power, are thriving, because the society was built for them. the patriarchy does not value the lives of ordinary men - it culls them for profit by sending them to war or working them to death. patriarchy under capitalism encourages men to die, so maybe you shouldn't
Absolving men by headcanoning them as women lmao
edit: Also the average man gets paid more, does less domestic labor, does way less reproductive labor, and is respected more. Yes of course the rich men benefit the most because we live under both patriarchy and capitalism. But failing to recognize the class contradictions of patriarchy results in the half-assed women's liberation of Soviet socialism. We want total liberation, so let's not ignore male supremacy just cause it makes male proletarians uncomfortable.
hey i'm one of those people that's stuck in the closet since my mom said she couldn't bear to live in the same apartment as me if I was taking estrogen. I'm trapped in acting like a guy until I can move out and thus still mentally have to identify as a guy to get through day to day life. On my worst days something like the tweet in the image would remind me I'll never be the girl I want to be and that I should just punch my ticket.
Approximately how many people like me would have to die before you realize this is a shitty take?
(re: edit) it's a good point and I agree, admittedly I didn't hit every nuance of patriarchal oppression. absolutely poor / working-class men have privileges that women do not and can be misogynistic and abusive regardless of class. anyway, suicide baiting - still bad!
