there is only one truth, and it is that there is no gender war, only misdirection from class warfare that has monetized and monopolized even our interpersonal, romantic, and sexual connection.

when people don't have problems, you can't sell them solutions.

Social media doesn't often reward kindness, but that's what is needed. Show kindness to young men, when you can. They need better guidance.

It’s true that nuance does indeed often get lost in online debates, so I appreciate you for making this post.

This meme is based AF

we need a nuance posting rule on the internet i think.

For every sensational shitpost you must provide at least one nuance.

nuance:

You are all arguing about bears, but I am over here day dreaming

NSFW

Hopefully people see this and stop posting ragebait 🙏

OK, seriously, I thought I've spent enough free time on Lemmy telling you to watch Barbie here for some of you here to, you know, actually watch Barbie.

So let me be clear: it is ultimately the Barbies' complete disregard for the Kens' feelings that led to the Kens being poisoned by the idea of the Patriarchy and all the subsequent mess in Barbieland, so way ahead of you on 2, to reiterate, what the Kens did was wrong, but you have got to take a nuanced approach to these things.

Also, on 1, all I said was that unlike the meme I feel that bears are terrifying, and then some weirdo came out of the woodwork and got really angry and start talking over me and calling me a dumbass and I was making it all about me somehow. The irony was so palpable I was at a loss for words.

Those young men should also choose the bear. If we explained that to them, and why, maybe the next generation wouldn't need to.

What? Men are going to adopt shitty beliefs and exercise their privilege no matter what and nothing can be done about it. /s

Could someone explain number 2 to me? A lot of big words, and I have trouble to understand what it's trying to say.

I'm not gonna lie, the grammar of that first sentence is quite confusing to simpleton like me.

Me likey

POST RESTORED THABK YOU MODS

shitty people are just shitty, gender has nothing to do with it. Women and men are both capable of being abusers.

Ah! Doublethink!

/s

Ah yes what a fun meme, so much haha's were had.

HOW DARE YOU /s

If I were stuck in the forest with a bear and another person, I'd try to gauge if I can run faster than the other person. If not, I'll try to see if I can hit their knee caps with something. But seriously, the problem with that hypothetical situation is there's nothing actionable, you're either for or against, no chance of improvement. On the other hand, you shouldn't take things personally. We all just probably wish there are things we can do to improve.

I would love to purge this meme, and all of it's derivates out of my feed.

This whole thing is completely blown out of proportion. The fact that young disenfranchised men are getting upset that women they don't know are choosing a bear over them says that they are taking it personally when it's not.

If you're a young man, and the people around you have decided they would rather choose the bear over you, that's a sign that you need to sit down and take a hard look at yourself about why they would do that. What have you done that would make them decide that. And if you extend that feeling to random women that you don't know, then you need to sit down and take a hard look at yourself why you feel that way. You don't know the lived experience of random women. You don't know why they would choose certain death over you. Taking it personally only shows your immaturity. You can't control how other people feel. You can only control yourself. If you want to understand why women around you would choose the bear, maybe try asking them nicely and actually listen. Empathy works both ways. Showing some will encourage people to reciprocate.
